NORWICH PRINTERS
INVITED TO NEW HAVEN.
Union no. AZ Celebrates Its Golden

The printers of Norwich have re-
ceived Invitations from New Haven
Typographical union, No. 81, to attend
the celebration of it's golden jubilee
on Sunday afternoon March 30, from
to D. m, at Newman's dancing
academy, GIG Chapel street. The New
Haven printers are the oldest organ
lied body of craftsmen in the Elm
City, and probably in the state. New
Haven union was formed. Feb IL, 1860,
but the observance of its fiftieth ami
versary was deferred to make sure of
favorable weather Visitors from ev-
cry town in Connecticut and from
assachusetts. Rhode Island and New
York are expected. The officers of the
International Typographical union have
been invited, together with the presi-
dent of every trade union in New Ha-
ven, officers of the Connecticut Fedora
ton of Labor, all of the honorary
members of New Haven printers I'M
ion, many of whom have graduated in
to the professions, all New Haven ed
itors and newspaper publishers, all
New Haven employers having union
printers in their employ, all appren-
tees in union shops, officers of New
Haven Trades council and Allied
Printing Trades council and others.
A fine programme is being arranged
and banquet will be served. 1t is ex-
pecte6 there will be q very large at
tendance, as the exercises will be held
on Sunday afternoon to ensure the
presence of all the printers in southern
New England, as many OF them are
obliged to work Sunday evenings
the morning newspapers.

ELECTRICITY BADLY BURNS
LINEMAN'S LITTLE FINGER.
Second Time Henry johnson Has Had
Narrow Escape from EIectrocution.

Henry Johnson, lineman in the
employ of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, had narrow escape
from death by electrocution Monday
morning at Ills O'Clock when he
touched q live wire. That he is alive
to tell of it is due to the fact that only
the little finger of his left hand came
in contact with the wire. The finger
was burned to such extent that
amputation of the member at the first
joint will be necessary.
Johnson was busily engaged in re-
pairing a wire which passed between
the branches of a tree near the Whal-
ing bank in New LONDON. He had
climbed a ladder to the branches of
the tree on which he perched him
self and started to work on the wire.
While thus engaged the little finger of
his left hand came in contact with A
wire from which the insulation had
become worn. The shock rendered
Johnson unconscious. That he was
not precipitated TO the ground is due
to the fact that he became wedged
between the limbs. Doctors were called
and soon resuscitated him.
Mr.. Johnson had another narrow
escape from death or serious injury
about two months ago. He was work
ing a pole when he lost his grip
with his climbers. Some portion of his
clothing caught one of the cross
trees, where he remained suspended
until he was relieved from his perilous
position.

STAFF GOING TO CAMP.
Governor Will Take Honorary Soldiers
With Him to Mantle.

News that will be hailed with de-
light by the politicians all over the
state is that Governor Weeks has de-
cided to take his staff down to the
regimental camps at Mantle next July
This will enable the politicians to hold
their field day and conferences as in
old encampments of the Connecticut
National guard.
On account of the fact that there
viii be two or more camps of the state
mflitianen at Mantle the governor has
decided to take his staff into camp for
three days while the Second regiment
IS there and for four days while the
First regiment is in Mantle The
governors party will not be quartered
on the south side of the field, as has
been the custom. This year Mantle
will be what is called working
camp and there will be less luxury
for the staff officers in the way of
camp equipment. The staff will be
quartered with the governor at the
west of the parade grounds.

SPECIFIC DESIGNATION BEFORE
TRANSFERRING PROPERTY
Banks and Other Corporations Advis-
ed by Tax Commissioner in Cases
of Auxiliary Administration.

On Monday Tax Commissioner W.
II. corbin sent the following letter to
banks and other corporations OF the
state:
Some of the judges OF probate of
the state OF Connecticut. when ancil-
larry administration has been granted,
have not required an inventory or the
personal property actually or con-
structively in this state belonging TO
the estates of nonresident decedents.
Such property. therefore, in sncn cases
has not been included for the imposi-
ton OF the succession tax, as requir-
ed by chapter 179 of the public acts OF
1907,
1T has therefore, been customary for
the banks and other corporations in
the state to accept a certified copy OF
the appointment of the anciilary ad-
ministrator as evidence that the prop
erty under their control had been in
cluded in the inventory and that the
succession tax on the same. IL any,
would be paid at the proper time.
In view of the above, however. 1t
seems necessary to request that con-
sent for the transfer of savings bank
deposits. contents OF safe deposit box
eS. or shares of stock and registered
bonds, be secured by such corpora
tons from the judges of probate who
granted the auxiliary administration,
with a definite statement from him. in
each case of the particular property
for which consent for request is given.
Hereafter. therefore. will you insist
upon such q procedure from the judges
of probate when ancillary administra-
ton has been granted. In the other
estates of nom resident decedents the
consent for transfer will be given by
the tax commissioner.
Chapter Pts of the public acts of
1909 removed the exemption provision
on all property passing to collateral
beneficiaries, or strangers to the blood.
This renders any deposit account so
passing no matter how small. liable
to a tax.
LAS the statute empowers the state
to hold the corporation liable for three
times the amount of any succession
tax that may be due upon property OF
decedents in its possession or under
it's control, it seems necessary. there
fore for your own protection, that you
insist upon a definite consent. either
from the Judge of probate or the tax
commissioners with a specific desig-
nation of the particular property to
be transferred"
