 Resolution That MT. Steffens Had
 Made Good.
 At the conclusion of his remarks a resolution was presented to the effect that MT. Steffens had made good the statements made ill New Britain, but on the motion of several of the resi- dents of the town that it would be well not to pass such a resolution, the matter was voted down, bSt it was decided that d committee meet next week to plan for the betterment of the town government
 Steffens Questions His Audience.
 The meeting was called to order by Edward H. Baker, q New York bus mess man with a residence here, and Henry Dayton chairman of the school board, was appointed chairman and introduced MT. Steffens. In opening his remarks AEr Steffens cited what
 
 the cities of the United States and said that the child labor bill was op- posed by the Connecticut senators and that they must be corrupt if they op- posed it. Vote buying in Green Wich, he said, was as common as in any other city in the country. Select men and representatives" he contin- ued, "who do not do their duty and do the will of the people are corrupt"
 He asked the audience who was the boss of the democratic party and who was the boss of the republican party and stated that the counsel for tho town was the counsel for the water company and for several other cor porations, something l have never known to exist in any other place in the country.

 Told the Truth.
 After dealing in generalities, he said that the last undertaken Greenwich had was sent to jail because he told the truth about the way the towns affairs were run, and he ought, I think, be released from prison. There have been many other similar cases here, but they Were hushed up
