The glorious Fourth of July re-
ceived due recognition in this city
yesterday. 1t was celebrated in
safe and sane manner well fitting the
occasion, and men, women and chill
dren were given plenty of entertain
ment. There were many kinds of
events, each one a feature in itself.
The program was carried out as pub
lished in the EVENING NEWS
Thursday, and was conducted without
a hitch. Compliments are being ex-
tended to Mayor Ferd Garretson and
other members OF the committee for
the attractiveness of the general pro-
gram. 1t Is considered that the
money at hand for the purpose was
well spent, affording as much and as
pleasant attraction as possible. That
the celebration was appreciated and
thereby caused most people to remain
in the city throughout the day, Is evi-
dent by reports OF train and trolley
less traffic yesterday than on any sim
liar occasion to their memory.
There were no serious accidents in
conjunction with the demonstration
and nothing happened to mar any

the young widow as his bride and Re-
corder f. q. Pickersgill married them

GARMENT WORKERS VOTE DEMANDS
Their Reply to Employers Opposition to Union-Waked Out Sunday-Wll Ask For All to be Taken Back Re- gardess of Union Activity-Also For g Hour Week and Is and 10 Per Cent. Wage Advance.

Norwich local. No. 16s, United Gar with the A. F. of L., was organized here Sunday under the direction of General Organizer A. Marotta of New York, and it's officers were elected and installed The names of the officers were withheld on the ground that knowledge of who they were might single them out for particular atten- ton in the difficulties between the en- ployers and the employees. J. Chykin of New Y York assistant editor of a pa per issued in Hebrew and English by the garment workers is here associated with General Organizer Marotta-
 Mir. Chykin said he understood that it had been reported that the new local was allied with the l. w. w. and he stated that it had no connection with that organization.
 The membership of the Norwich To- cal is from 75 to 80 which was stated to be practically all the garment work CTS in the city and an early item or business was a vote upon demands to be presented by the uniAn this morn ing to the employers.
 These demands, according to the garment workers, are brought about by the action of the employers who on Sunday, they say. presented papers for their help to sign agreeing not to join the union. An organization was effected by the manufacturers on Sat- urday night, it is stated, at which 1t was decided that all garment workers not signing the agreement not to join the union would be discharged.

FOUND LIFELESS
 IN HIS POWER BOAT
Harlan Newbury, Navy Yard Engineer, Died Suddenly During Friday Night.


 The life1ess body of Harlan New bury of Gales Ferry, engineer and machinist at the pum ping plant of the subaquaceous coal basin at the United States coaling station was found Sat urday morning lying In the bottom of his power boat. The body was dis codvered by Newton Perkins of the navy yard, a former employe at that place. NeWbury was in his working clothes and death had evidently over taken him while he was tinkering with the engine of the boat after o'clock Friday night.
 The exact time of his death is not known. That the body was not found until several hours after death, is not strange. The boat was moored to the wharf near the pumping station, which because of the few men now at the navy yard, Is rather isolated. MT. Newbury had no assistant so no one had an occasion to go to that part of the yard very often.
 Medical Examiner F. w. Hewes was summoned, but is away at present and Dr. Herbert K. Thoms of New Lon don was sent as acting medical exam iner. After viewing the body, he re- ported death to have been caused by acute intestinal indigestion.
 The body was later viewed by Cor oner Franklin H. Brown of Norwich.
 MT. Newbury had been employed at the navy yard for the past thirteen years. He was about A years of age. The n@trest known relative is Mrs. l.. F. Smith, a sister, who resides at Gales Ferry and who was notified of the sad ending of her brothers life.
 MT. Newbury was always known as a faithful and conscientious employe at the navy yard and was well known in Gales Ferry.
 MT. Newbury's wife and infant child died several months ago and were both buried from the Gales Ferry church on the same day

NEW PASTOR AT
 PRESTON CITY CHURCH. Rev. Luther Holmes Conducts His First Service at Baptist Church.


 Rev. Luther Holmes, the new pastor of the Preston City Baptist church, oc- cupied the pulpit Sunday morning for the first time since he accepted the call to the pastorate. Rev. MT. Holmes preached at the church in the early summer as a candidate, making so favorable an impression that it was decided to extend him a call to the pas torate. Rev. Dr. Holmes arrived in this city Saturday night and is being en- tertained at the home of Charles Ben jamin at Preston City until the par sonage is ready for occupancy. Mrs. Holmes and two children are expected here Tuesday.
 There was a large congregation at Sunday mornings service, and the ser mon by the new pastor was one of strength and interest. He took his text from Exodus IA: 15: Speak unto the children of Isreal that they go for ward" He explained the position of the Israelites with the sea before them and the enemy behind, and said that, like them the church, too, no matter what failures lie behind or how dis couraging the aspect of the future, must go forward. He emphasized the duty of manifesting love in the community inside and outside the church, and urg- ed the necessity of going forward so- ciaIly, making the church attractive to young and old. He closed with an ap- peal to his congregation for their as- sistance in carrying on the work of the church.
 Rev. Mir. Holmes comes to Preston City from a pastorate at Somersworth, N. H. He is a graduate of CrOzier Theological Seminary.
 For about a year since the resigna- ton of Rev. N. B. Prindle, who went to Burlington, Vt, to take the office of state evangelist, the church has been without pastor During the past three months Rev. J. R. Very has conducted the services and previously Rev. F. O. Cunningham and Rev. L. w. Brink filled the pulpit frequently.
