DEMANDS THE ATTENTION
 OF NORWICH PEOPLE
The United Workers Are Doing q a Grand Work Under cramped Con. ditions.

The annual meeting of the United Workers will be held on Tuesday next,
 To one who has recently become in- terested in the work of this fine or~ ganizat1on, 1t Is a matter of amaze ment that the general public shows so little concern in It's doings, writes one who is interested.
 Where there is the lack of interest, there is always lack of support. This may sound ungracious, in view of the generosity of many individuals and many firms, but the significance of the returns from the district visitation cannot be denied
 One hundred and eleven women give time and strength in visiting practically every house in Norwich, asking subscriptions, and the amount brought in, after weeks of work, often several visits being made to the same house, is $1,263.41 This subscription shows an average of eighty seven cents to contributor.
 Does this mean that the women of Norwich are willing to allow eighty seven cents to be their annual offer ing, which must be divided between the City mission the employment bu- reau, the Sheltering Arms, the Rock nook childrens home, the thirteen or more clubs and many other charities
 Is this the measure of our love and generosity to the little children for whom we make a home, the hundreds of boys and girls in the clubs and classes who are learning to become valuable men and women, to the old people whose days are nearly spent, and who look to us to make sweeteT and easier the evening of their lives
 Could all learn as I have of the in- finite care given to the spending of these contributions, of the thought time and steps, taken to save a few pennies, could all hear each month of the work done by the busy women oi the various committees, could all know of the alleviation of suffering and the happiness spread through 1 these same channels, the result would I feel sure, be different.
 | All do not realize that however vel | come the money, legacy to the Unit 1 ed Workers also means the loss of { l generous friend, and the income thu: is sometimes decreased instead of in. 1 creased.
 Read the annual report of the Unit. ed Workers, and estimate how far thc money is made to go. Take for in | stance, the children's home-the chil ! dren are physically and morally cared for by skilled attendants. at an aver age cost of three dollars and fit! cents each, per week. These figure
 show the care which is given to de | tails.
 And now is it just to allow ou
 charitable societies to be continual, 1 hampered by lack of funds? l We have an organization founde 1 years ago by some of the nobles
 daughters of Norwich, and today do ing deeds and labors of love that thril
 the heart. The work must go or l there must be no retrenchtng. In tn name of duty, as of charity, open you purse strings, that souls may be saved
 suffering softened, and hearts mad lighter in this fair town of ours.

FAVORABLE TO TROLLEY CHANGES
M Leary of Connecticut Company is to Have Engineer Come Here Within Few Days To Put in Freight sidings-Impressed by Number of Houses in Boswell Avenue Section.

again himself in connection with the changes. The freight cars would be hauled over the trolley tracks at night so that they would not interfere with traffic and would not frighten horses. This is done in many other cities
 While Mir. Leary was here he was taken up Boswell avenue and shown that section of the city, where for long time Timothy c. Murphy has ad- voeated constructing a loop of the electric line, running through to the Point saloon In Boswell avenue. Mir: Leary was surprised at the number of homes In that section Of the city, the owners and occupants of which have no trolley accommodations. He was much impressed with the need of troll ley facilities. While he does not have the authority in connection with that part of the Connecticut company, it being necessary to go higher, he will have favorable report to make on the matter, and 1t seems quite probable that something will be done in that di- rection. When others come here to take up that matter the extension of the trolley line to Maplewood and the extension to a point farther couth on the Laurel Hill road will both be brough to their attention. If the bottle factory is located at the Mason place on Laurel Hill a large territory will be opened up for buildings, and there will be q big settlement in that sec tion.

It is expected that there will be many good results from the visit of NJ J. Leary, general freight and passenger agent of the Connecticut company, to Norwich on Wednesday. MT. Leary WAS taken about the city by John T. Young, chairman of the transportation committee of the board of trade, ac- companied by Secretary H. W. Tibbits, Timothy c. Murphy, Joseph ". Curtis and E. c. Jewett
 The object of having him come here was for the purpose of explaining to him the reason for asking the company to put in a number of sidings for the handling of freight over the trolley tracks. The McCrum, Howell company desire that one be put in in front of their plant, in South Water street, so that freight cars can be loaded there and moved during the night
 At the H. B. Potter factory it is de- sired that such a siding be placed for the handling of business both in and out. The John T. Young Boiler com pany and the Gordon Junk company desire branches which will accommo- date their business. This would mean that a portion of the connection to the Central Vermont road may be electri- fled. The need of the sidings was ap- parent to MT. Leary, and he stated that he Is to take some action at once in the matter He will send an engi- neer here in a few days and after re- ceiving his report will visit Norwich

The wOm- en in the carriage and Landers chauf- feur each noticed the presence of the other at the same time, and although the chauffeur swerved his machine sharply to one side and the woman whipped up the horse, the automobile struck one of the rear wheels of the carriage, smashing the vehicle and throwing it's occupants out into the road. Mrs. Lewis landed on her feet and escaped with shaking up, but her companion struck on her head, and when picked up was unconscious. Both were placed in the Landers car and taken to New London.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
VaudsvilIe and Motion Picture


 It takes a rare lot of acts to make a "stag" bill of vaudeville go, but they do 1t at the Auditorium and do it big in the bill that showed there on Thurs day and will be on the boards for the latter end of this week, and the yer dict of popular approval was given to each turn of the three.
 Gofff Phillips, called the Chicken Coon, is a capable leader for the fun of the bill, permitting his house but few chancse to rest up between laughs, and he is followed by Offelt, the German boy ventriloquist, who makes feature of his yodeling and songs in the ven- triloquial voice, which brings him con- stant bursts of applause, and get the crowd ready to explode at the slightest excuse when the Steinert Tro comes on for the supremely funny horizonal bar act, in which the three artists use two high bars and three low bars for their splitting act, which is made doubly funny because the three are such artists in their line. They show the giant swing and all sorts of start ling and trick work in their act, which Is laugh from start to finish.
 In the motion pictures, the films shown are well chosen in variety and attractiveness, making this part of the bill on a par with the rest.

EDNA NORTON SENT HOME. Goes to Jewett City and Was Not
 Charged Anything fer Board.

In pursuance with her ofte repeated request of the past week, Edna Nor ton, whose mysterious action about a month ago caused her detention by the New London police and who has since been at the almshouse there, was sent to Jewett City Thursday after noon. She was placed aboard the 1.30 o'clock train.
 The woman for the past week has been intent on leaving the institution and has often expressed the wish to return to Jewett City. She told the authorities that she could have a home in the household of Alphonsus Moat in Jewett City. with whom she has resided.
 The woman seemed rational and the authorities could see no reason that she should not be granted her request to leave the institution. She could remember every occurrence since her detention and knew to the cent how much money she mad when searched, even the denominations of every bill and the amount of silver and pennies.
 She was not charged anything for her board or lodging at the aims house, as the woman had not cent in the world except the amount which was found on her, S257
