HOW sELEcTMAN. CHAPMAN
REMEMBERS CONVERSATION.
Says He Did Only His Duty in Stop
ping Auto Speeding in MontviIle.

First Selectman Moses Chapman of
Montville writes The Bulletin as fol-
lows:
In regard to an article which ap-
peared in The Norwich Bulletin of July
25th, concerning a conversation which
took place between Mr.. Donovan and
myself in regard to reckless driving or
excessive speeding of automobiles, l
wish to correct a part of Mr.. Dono-
vans statement concerning the con-
versation as I remember it at the time
Mr.. Donovan speaks Of l met him on
what is called Long Hill, near Mohe-
gan gate, so-called, on the Norwich
and New London road, and eonversa-
ton started concerning the excessive
speed of automobiles, which caused a
very bad condition of the road. Mr..
Donovan said that it was costing the
state one hundred dollars per day or
more for repairs that were being made
and that something ought to be done
tn regulate or slacken the speed, and
lie said in my opinion it is up to thu
selectmen of the town to do something
in this matter, and I would suggest
Constable Hickey be put on the road
and measure off one-eighth of mile
and time the automobiles, and if they
are found exceeding the limit which
the law allows, have them arrested. So
Mr.. Hickey got busy and the public
know what followed. I do not regret
any part / have taken in this matter,
for I consider it is the duty of the Sc
lectfuan, so far as they ere able, to
protect the people while travelling over
the public highways of the town
Some time ago I received from the
secret ary of state several copies in
pamphlet form of the law, also the
rules and regulations concerning the
speeding and so forth of automobiles,
with a request that they be distributed
among the proper officials of the town
Why was this, unless it was expected
that they see that the law was enforc-
ed.

BOYS BODY TAKEN TO new YORK
sea-Uncle Doesn't Think Farmland Guilty, but
Suspects One Else,

On Thursday afternoon Undertaken
Grant brought to the Chelsea wharf
the body of Harry Levine, who WAS
found dead in Scotland, near Hanover,
this week. Accompanied by the par
ents Of the boy. the body was taken to
New York on the Thursday evening
trip, the uncle of the boy also accom-
panying the party. During their stay
in this city they were profuse in their
thanks for the great assistance they
had in looking for the. boy, and they
feel very grateful to Rev. c. H.Pecn,
Senator Park and the others who par
ticipated in the search, as we'll as to
The Bulletin, for the help given in the
matter.
The uncle, Harry Greenglass, stated
here on Thursday afternoon that he
did not think that the farmland was
guilty. There are some circumstances
which make some of his actions sus-
picious, but there is nothing which can
be proven against him, he said. No
one Saw the boy with him, no one
heard the boy cry, and no one saw the
farmland doing anything suspicious at
the time the boy was missed. The
uncle said that there was no other
under suspicion and that the case pre-
SCENTS many peculiar circumstances.
Concerning the point where the body
hilltop. in a clump of bushes. and that
while the entire clump of bushes was
not trampled down, about where the
body lay there was evidence of tram o.
ling as shown by the grass and leaves.
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1911-07-28

He corroborated the statement in this
regard which Constable Lambert made
that about the spot where the body
was found a spot five feet long and
two and half to three feet wide had
been matted down, though the bushes
on the sides of this gave some pre-
lection from the sun. Both said there
was evidence of som ething there which
was dark and was thought to be vomit
or blood, the uncle believing it was
vomit.
The uncle is located at No. 81 Co
lumbia avenue, New York city. where
he has a sewing machine shop, the
father of the boy being employed by
him in repairing machines.
Coroner Bill examined all the wit
nesses that knew anything about the
affair on Wednesday and did not 60
to the Witter place on Thursday. 1t
is probable that something VIII be
done further with the farmland in the
way of an examination. He maintains
his innocence as strongly as ever and
was at the Brooklyn jail all day, Con-
stable Lambert getting no notice to
take him from there. He is awaiting
orders in this respect.
Harry Greeng1ass stated that he did
for something in connection with the
case. All the interest they had in the
matter has virtually been ended by the
finding of the body, though, of course
he said, they are anxious that whoever
did the atrocious deed should be pun
ished for it.

GOV. BALDWIN SIGNS
EMINENT Oq lain BILL.
First Bill Ever Passed by Gei,eral As
sembIy Giving Power TO Private
Corporation

The first bill ever passed by the
general assembly for the state of Con-
necticut giving d private corporation
the right of eminent domain Became a
law Thursday, when Governor Simeon
E. Baldwin attached his signature to
a bill granting the privilege to the
Connecticut college for women which
is to be established in New London.
The college, which will be the first
and only college for women alone in
the state, was originally to have been
called the Thames colleges for women,
but the legislature granted. a change
of name to the Connecticut college for
women, for the purpose of making 1T
more distinctly state affair. The
charte'' was secured by a private cor
poration, and the corporation has COLI
lected funds for the erection of build
ings and endowment purposes by sub
scription. The imrne late reason for
sthe presenting of the bill to the gem
eral assembly was due to the fact that
the land on which it is the intention
of the corporation Of erecting the d L
lege builnings was being hello at what
was thought to be an exorbitant price.
Some nine acres of land are require
I'd, and it is alleged that the original
price of the land, $4,000, was raised
to 100000 when it was $scertained by
the owners that the College wished to
buy it.

TRIBUTE TO LATE
col. JAMES F. BROWN.
Rev. e. J. kIock of Bucksport, Me.
Honors His Memory.

Rev. Edwin Judscon Klock Of Bucks
port, Me-, formerly of North Stoning
ton, where for nine years he was pas
tor of the church of which the late
Colonel J. F. Brown was member,
sends the following tribute to The
Bulletin:
when men of sterling WORTH broad
intelligence, and ample powers of body,
heart ands brain pass from this world S
stage of action, the vicinage and the
under the scope of their possible infiy
.ence and example suffer loss. The
town. the county and the state in
which he lived has been impoverished
in degree by the death of Colonel
James F. Brown, whose funeral SER
vices were heir from his late home in
North Stonington on Thursday.
Graduating from Yale college in
1862, in the beauty and strength of his
25 years, he at once offered all he had
and was upon his nations altar in her
time of peril, and was commissioned
captain in the 21st Conn. regiment,
and served with bravery and distinc-
ton through the war being promoted
major, lieutenant colonel and colonel
of the same regiment. At the'close of
the war in 1865, he 1t once took UP
the arts of peace with the same ability
and courage that he displayed during
the war. and for twelve years lived in
Savannah, Ca, having married Miss
Harriet A. Green in 1868, who surviv es
him and who has been through the
years a most loyal and efficient help
meet, and to whom he was ever eager
to ascribe his successes in life. In
1877 Colonel Brown returned to his
native town, and soon became a factor
in the civic life of Connecticut, and
was honored with nearly every official
position at the gift of the town, and
for ten years was secretary of the
tat Ioo ord of aorT-i<1J If11r4n a @ n
man who had acquired to degree the
wisdom that says There is a time to
speak and time to keep SILENT; he
was loyal to his friends and courte-
ously fair with those who differed
from HIM He loved nature and coun-
tifuI things around him much more
than he who sows only for the harvest
and CLEAN only for the gain.
For nearly twelve years it has been
my privilege to know him somewhat
intimately as pastor and friend, and
/ desire to bear testimony of my APP
probation of his sterling qualities and
graces. In. henoring his memory and
in speaking words of love and praise
above his dust, I and others do but
honor ourselves.
"TIe was a man whose Christian
faith and fortitude were vital things
He found joy and felicity in the pros
perity of his children-one son and
four daughters-of whom he was par

things that made for the well being
of the community and nation.

way of all the EARTH and while we
share with the bereaved family a very
real loss, we are comforted by the
thought that his life was not lived in

SENATOR MAHAN GOT
EXCITED AND PERSONAL
Hearing on Granting Special License
to The Grswold.

The Judiciary committee gave an
unique hearing Wednesday afternoon
to H. H. Spooner and E. L. G. HOhen-
thai in opposition to an unique bill.
1t provides that. upon petition of a
majority of the registered voters of
the town of Groton the country com
missioners of New London county may
issue a license to any hotel in Groton
for the sale of liquor from June 7
for period of five months in each
year, beginning with the present one,
and that the act shall take effect from
it's passage.
1t was agreed that the bill was in
tended to benefit the Fort Griswold
house in Groton. Morton f. Plants
hotel, and that the town is no-lieense
and that Mr. Plant desires the town
to remain so. Senator Judson asked
Mr.. Spooner what moral objections
there could be to the bill and Mr..
Spooner said he could see no reason
for displacing the vote of the town
expressed in it's regular way on the
license question. He said he did not
think it fair to give a special privilege
to Mr.. Plant.
Senator Judson said Mr.. Spooner's
objection might result in license
vote in Grot6n next fall, and Mr..
Spooner said it would be a good deal
better than to enact special legislation
of this sort.

never been introduced either in the
house or in the senate, nor was it
drawn in committee. but it had been
framed by Michael Kenealy, acting
for Mr.. Plant, and had been put up
to the excise committee, which. in
turn, had given it to the judiciary.
House Chairman Banks said it was
a simple proposition, and he did not
see the need of talking about it for
the entire afternoon. Senator Mahan
asked Mr.. Spooner if he appeared for
anybody in Groton and Mr.. Spooner
said he did not; he objected. however,
to this form of special legislation.
why didn't you get busy early in
the session and oppose all special leg
islation?'' queried Senator Mahan. Il
am only interested in excise legisla-
ture,'' replied Mr.. Spooner. "And earn
ing your little fee!'' remarked Senator
Mahan, who added: HAS God Al
mighty given you any special orders
as to this state?"
+ Mr.. Banks again urged expedition
and Mr.. Spooner objected once more
to granting licenses upon petition, in
view of the fact that Mr.. Plant could
get a petition for almost anything in
Groton He said, in closing, that he
should not favor a general act along
the line Of the Groton one without
more study of the question.
