MILK LICENSES FOR DRUG STORES
Dr. Shahan Milk Inspector Claims They Should Come Under the Regulations Chappel Declines to Surrender Equipment to Common Councils New Appointee in the Office t s,

II o'clock. pr. Shahan caught them about that time.
 Dr. Chappell. who has brought suit against the city to show cause why he is not still the milk inspector, has declined to turn over to Dr. Shahan the paraphernalia and equipment or the office so that Dr. Shahan has pro- vided himself with a new outfit except ing the 1actometer. This costs about $50 and is in the possession of pr. Chappell, although Dr. Shahan says his opponent in the office never uses it. Dr. Shahan made a request of pr. Chappell for the containers and oth- CT apparatus but Dr. Chappell declined to hand it over. Dr. sShahan, also ask ed for list of the licenses issued, but did not succeed in getting this either.
 He has obtained a license list from another source but finds some dis crepancies in it, since the highest num- Der is 204, but there are no licenses is sued for numbers from 169 to 200 or from Al to 151 and no milkmen have these numbers.
 Since the appointment of pr. Shahan as milk inspector, Dr. Chappell sent one sample of milk to the state labor atory at Middletown which promptly wrote back to Mayor Murphy to find Mayor Murphy replied that it was Dr. Shahan so that when the finding on the test were returned here they were sent by the laboratory to Dr. Shahan along with the containers.

Dr. D. J. Shahan, the milk inspector appointed by the present common council, has been doing considerable active work in his office since his ap- pointment, and on Monday made a tour of the drug stores to ascertain where they were getting their milk supply which they dispense in milk shakes or in other milk drinks at their fountains. He also made inquiry as to where they got their ice cream.
 In his tour the milk inspector found that many of the drug stores were getting their milk from Providence or other outside points which precluded any possibility of his knowing wheth- CT the milk they were selling was up to standard, and the doctor raised the question as to whether or not the drug stores which dispense milk in drinks ought not to be compelled to take out a milk license just as the grocers do who sell milk.
 Monday morning Dr. Shahan spotted two Polish milk sellers from the Falls who had no licenses and after a warn ing gave them to understand that they must secure the needed permit if they are to continue in the business. These two men had evidently learned that Dr. A. W. Chappell, who now disputes the office of milk inspector with Dr. Shahan, might be expected to be look ing out for milk dealers early in the morning, so that they changed their hour of delivery in order to dodge him, delaying coming to the city until about

SEARCH FOR BURGLAR.
Policeman Fenton Saw Man in Eaton Chase Co. Store, But He Made His Escape.

The vigilance of Policeman Fenton in detecting a burglar in the store ol the Eaton Chase company on Monday evening scared the intruder out of the place before he had had a chance to reap any profits from breaking into the store
 The policeman saw the man from the Main street entrance, seeing him pass from one counter to the other in th2 main store As the policeman could not get into the front door he hurried around to the back of the store in Water street. where he found a cellar window. open Subsequent investiga- tion, when Frederick W. Cary of the firm had come down from his home and opened the store, showed that some intruder had broken off two bolts on the window and made entrance that way He probably saw the policeman and got out the way he had gotten in and getting away in safety, since the policeman had to go around the corner of the block to get from the front to the rear of the store.
 Captain Twomey when notified at police headquarters at once despatched all the available men to make a search of the store, Sergeant Kane, Supernu- merary Diveto, Policemen McFadden and Fenton conducting the search. They went from cellar to roof, but found no on in the store
 A big crowd outside watched the proceedings. MT Cary showed his ap- preciation of what the police had done by sending ice cream and cigars to headquarters during the evening. Eugene pattison brought Policeman McFadden over from the West Side in his automobile The speed they made was sufficient to induce the policeman to decline ride back when it was of fered, saying that he was in no hurry this time.

NORWICH WILTED.
Hot Wave Approached Record of This
 Month a Year Ago.

Month Year Ago.
 
 Norwich found itself Monday in the midst of very sizzler of a day, with a humidity that wilted people and things as they have not been wilted be- fore this year. Ever since the Fourth of July this year has been trying to equal that hot spell of last summer. The mercury has scared on every day of the passed week, but at conserva- tive figures of 9S degrees in the shade up to 110 degrees and 112 degrees in the sun even in ordinary breezy locali- ties Monday eclipsed all previous ca lorimetric efforts. The temperature could have been endured, but the hu- midity, the extra per cent. of water vapor in the air, made city existence hardly endurable. The river boats car ried seekers after comfort southward and the trolleys brought cooling breezes to many more. Still others and perhaps they were as comfortable as any, remained quietly at home, in easy reach of the contents of the re- frigerat0r and tried, by mental sugges- ton. to believe it was cool.
 Yet all the state was in the same condition of perspiration. All over ii was day to wish oneself in a bathing tog and in the surf.
 For six weeks now rain has been conspicuous by it's absence. The total fall during June was half an inch and the end is not yet so the weather man says. But considering the lean rains of other years Norwich has yet no cause to worry with Fairview only two feet and a half below high water mark and with the old reliable pump ing station at Trading Cove as fit as ever.

Lost Bet on RnnseusIt

Two Arcanum club members who bet a box of cigars on the nomination of Roosevelt have just had their bet settled by reference to some reputable sporting authority. so that the man who bet on Roosevelt is satified to pay up admitting that he has lost. For a time the man who bet that Roosevelt would be nominated declin- ed to pay, arguing that he still had a. chance to win, as there was still to be another convention at which Roosevelt would be nominated. The sporting au- thority, however, ruled against this construction of the bet and decided that the man who wagered that the colonel would be nominated had lost.
 A group of Arcanum club members are accordingly anticipating some good smokers in a few days
