Flag Day Should
Be Observed By
City Tomorrow
June 18th is 135th Birthday of
Stars and Stripes-Interest
is Revived

Tomorrow, the f14th of June, is
| Flag Day. and as such should be
observed by the displaying of "Old
Glory" from the homes of the city
and all public buildings. Oftentimes,
Flag Day has been passed with for
getfulness: but Governor Baldwin 5
| proclamation this year has revived
| interest in it. Tomorrow is the 134th
birthday of the stars and stripes.
A few extracts from the Cham
pion's book, "Our Flag, Its History
and Changes from 1907 to 1911" may
| be of special interest today. For one
hundred and fifty-seven years from
the landing of the Mayflower to
stripes were adopted, as a sign of
| nationality, we were under the Eng
lish flag. We ask what was the flag
of the mother country in those years ?
England had used a white banner
with red cross from 1892 to 1906
when Scotland was added to Eng
land. In order to add the diagonal
white cross of st. Andrew, King Jam es
/ in 1906 changed the color of the
flag to blue, with the red cross of
England and white cross of Scotland,
covering the entire field.
This was the flag of the Mayfower.
Cromwell used a red flag with the
Kings color" in the corner.
In 1907 we used CromwelPs flag,
substituting a device of our own for
the corner, generally a pine tree. The
| thirteen states that bound themselves
together as the United States of
America" by signing the Declaration
of independence on the afternoon of
July 4, 1776, at it's first congress at
Philadelphia, decided June IA, 1777,
that our flag be thirteen stripes alter
nate red and white, the union to be
thirteen stars. white on a blue field
to be arranged in. a circle" Two
more states were added by 1902
when congress in session in New
York, passed a bill increasing the
number of stars and stripes to fif-
teen.
We used this flag for twenty-three
years. By 1916 we had twenty states
and a bill to make that the number
of stars and stripes offered at con-
gress, then in session at Washington,
was defeated and one passed, making
the number of stripes thirteen but a
star to be added for each incoming
state.
The number today is forty-six, ,Ari-
IONA and New Mexico waiting for
final act of congress. AS the star may
not take it's place till the fourth of
July following the signing of the bill
it is doubtful if these stars are add
ed this year.

veness Fights
For Real Reform
Board Of Education However
Decides Against Him

The use of public school rooms for
primaries, caucuses or elections,
espoused by Alfred E. Veness long
before he became a member of the
Board of Education, came up before
that body again last evening, and was
adversely decided by a 9-3 vote
About two years ago Mr.. Veness
began an agitation for the use of the
school rooms for political rallies. He
had seen the school rooms in such
a progressive city as Springfield in
successful operation at primaries and
rallies and he greatly favored the use
of the rooms in this city. He held
that a school room rally would bring
out the best there was in a district,
where the rich man could rub elbows
with the poor man, and where all
He was especially against the present
mode of rallies held in barns and
back rooms.
The matter came before the board
through communication from T. F.
Latin, chairman Of the Democratic
party in the Fifth district asking per-
mission for the use of one or two
rooms at the Maplewood school for
primary purposes. AS a member of
the board, Mr.. Veness moved that
permission be granted the applicant.
From the minutes of the meeting of
July, 1907, was read the following
resolution: ~That hereafter the use
of public school buildings shall be
given exclusively for public school
purposes and not for any other pur-
pose" Commissioner ,Veness then
moved that the resolution be rescind-
ed, stating that the present board
should not bind itself to any action
taken by former board. Mr.. Veness
showed where the rule had been dis
regarded, as at election time rooms
at the Lincoln school, were used for
election purposes, and only recently
the high school building was given
over to school convention, and is
being constantly given over for the
holding of addresses and entertain
ments.
When the vote was taken only
Commissioners Veness, Cullinan and
Monahan favored the resembling mo-
tiOn.

Ferris Pardoned;
Local Girl Lied
About His Guilt

Hartford, June 12-Frederick Ferris
of Bridgeport was represented By
Senator Frederick A Bartlett, before
the Board of Pardons yesterday. Fer
ris was convicted of carna1 abuse OF
a female under IS years of age. the
date of conviction being October 2.
1907. His sentence was from twelve
to sixteen years Ferris has always
maintained his innocence. W. J. K.
Hubbell of Wilton, the foreman OF
the jury before whom the case was
tried, was quoted to the effect that
he believed mistake had been made.
The assistant of States Attorney
Samuel Fessenden, who prepared the
case against Ferris. was quoted as
saying that he believes from recent
investigations that the girl in the
case lied in her story told at the time
of the trial. Extracts from family
letters were read tending to show the
motive of the girl for fastening the
assault on Ferris. The girl is now
married States Attorney Stiles JEd-
son said he had no doubt that a crime
had been committed but that the ele-
ment of force did not enter into IL
as much as the girl testified to at the
trial. She had changed her state
ments in this respect. Ferris was
granted a pardon outright.
