City Interests Before Business Men
Association Moves For Washington Street and Boswell Av- Trolley Extensions Vigorous Protest Against Central Vermont's Withdrawal of Boat Train-To Stop Auto Speeding.

nous support of the business men was the proposition to protest to the Cen tral Vermont railroad against the withdrawal of the early morning boat train, which has been done by the new schedule which went into effect Mon day The merchants very generally agreed that the entire travelling and business public was seriously incon- venienced by the withdrawal of this train and that nothing should be left undone which could impress upon the railroad that the business men of this section would not be satisfied until the train was restored.
 The matter of the proposed outing, to include the associations of New London, Putnam and Wiliimantic, was left to the board of directors with power.
 To Stop Auto Speeding.
 Auto speeding was topic which was earnestly discussed and it was agreed that the association ought to do something to make auto drivers come to halt in the speeding prac- tices which they were indulging in within the city limits, particularly on the New London turnpike at Thames vile, near the city line, at Norwich down and at Taftville The associa- tion agreed to try to do something to bring about the placing of large warn ing signs on the outskirts of the city These signs would contain notice of the speed limits allowed by the state law of p miles per hour outside of the city, 10 miles within the city limits and three miles when approaching a trolley car that was stopping. The association is also to ask the police to pay particular attention to enforcing the speed limit law in the city.
 The matter of a traffic policeman was brought mp, but was not pushed as Alderman Mclaughlin of the police commissioners explained that there were not funds enough appropriated tc carry this out along the lines that the association suggested

Aunt Sally's AdUice
 to Beauty Seekers

Lydia says: I've tried most every thing for my freckles, but can't lose them. What do you suggest see answer to Stella" The treatment suggested I've never known to Tall m any case of freckles or other cutan- eous blemish.
 P. J. K. asks. 'Is there anything better than massage to remove wrink- les?' Too much massaging may az gravate wrinkled condition, tending to soften and loosen the tissue. l ao- wise bathing the face in an asuingeni lotion made by dissolving an ounce oi powdered saxolite in a half pfGt witch hazel This is remarkably effective.
 Stella writes: My complexion is horribly muddy What shall I do foi it?" Get an ounce of mercolized waH at your druggists. Apply this nightly l like you'd use cold cream, washing ii off mornings This will cause the i offensive cuticle gradually to make way by a process of gentle absorp- | ton, for the clear. velvety, healthy hued skin underneath.

In the Board of Trade rooms in the shannon building on Tuesday evening the Norwich Business Mems associa- tion held a regular meeting, the first monthly meeting they have held there since moving from the Buckingham Memorial, and there was a good at tendance.
 President Charles s. Fairclough pre- sided, and the minutes of Secretary Charles W. Pearson were read and approved.
 meeting were Corporation Counsel Jo- seph T. Tanning, Alderman w. c. Mc- Laughlin and Councilmen Joseph F. Williams and E. E. Baker whose sug- gestion aided in the settlement of sev- eral matters that came before the meeting
 Five important matters were the assigned subjects for the meeting, and upon each of these action was taken that will have effect in the future, it is believed.
 PeddIers' Licenses.
 Upon the question of peddlers liz censes, which is something which the association has been agitating for some time, it was decided to petition the court of common council to draft an up-to-date peddlers license and thereby supply need which the asso- citation feels is called for.
 Trolley Extension.
 The meeting also voted to give viz orous support to the common council in it's move to get an extension of the trolley system in this city, particularly with reference to Washington street and Boswell avenue. It was urged that as 8 s10,0O0 appropriation was voted by the city meeting for the paving of Washington street, every effort should be made to get any trolley tracks laid there before the macddam or other new pavement was put down.

Policeman Murphy Remembered by Former Associates in stdeet Depart ment.

Patrick T.

G. D. HOWELL DEMURS
 TO BANKRUPTCY CHARGE. Claims He Was Solvent When Mo Crum- Howell Co. Assigned.


 Creditors of George D. Howell of Hartford have not yet replied to the demurrer filed by Judge William F. Henney, MT. HowelPs counsel, in the United States court. MT. Howell in it demurs to the petition of the Me chanics and Metals National bank of New York, the Corn Exchange Ma tional bank of Philadelphia and the Franklin National bank of Philadel- phia that MT. Howell is adjudicated a bankrupt because he endorsed three S5,000 notes payable to the McCrum- Howell company and indorsed in blank by the payee and taken by the banks for value before maturity and have not been paid, and because they represent that MT. Howell while insolvent and on March 1S did make with Lloyd G. McCrum a general as signment, for the benefit of his cred itors and McCrum's creditors, to Os- car L. Telling of Pittsburg as trus- tee, and conveyed under a declaration of trust signed by MT. Telling and agreed to by Messrs. Howell and Me- Crum.
 The demurrer of Mir McCan says that the document mentioned as the declaration of trust and the execu- tion of which is the alleged act of bankruptcy, is not in law a general assignment for the benefit of cred itors nor does it purport to be such by it's terms. It is not alleged in the petition that the property con veyed in trust as described is all or a large portion of all of the rop- erty of the respondent, nor that the document is for the benefit of all the respondents creditors.
 The demurrer says that it does ap- pear from the document executed March 13 and from schedules attach ed to it, that the respondent, MT. How ell. at the date of such execution, was not insolvent, but solvent.
 MT. Howell deposes and says under oath that the facts stated in the de- murrer are true to the best of his knowledge and belief, and that the demurrer is not interposed for delay.
