JUDGE FAVoRS VERDIcTS IN THE
DREW cAMINETTl CASE

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. g.
Judge Clayton E. Harrington, ex-as-
sistant attorney. general in charge of
the white slave" bureau and now
president of the California Anti
White Slavery Society, has voiced his
approval of the verdicts in the Digs
Caminetti cases.
''By the verdicts of the two Cali
fornia juries in the white slave cases
of Maury l. Diggs and F. Drew Carni-
netti new and most potent weapon
has been put in the hands of those
who are fighting against the prostitu-
ton of women in every FORM" he,
declares ''No rich man, because he.
is rich, no amateur despoiler of wo-s
men, can now escape any more than!
can the professional panderer who
traff1cs in flesh for filthy coin.
SIT is not necessary for the white
SLAYER to debauch women for money. I
These juries have said that the love
buccaneer' who, not for money, but
for his own pleasure, .debauches a
young woman, is to the full as guilty
as the professional panderer, who,
when the amateur has deceived, be-
trayed and deserted a girl, grasps her
in his clutches and sells her shame
for gold"

Sing Fong Lee, the celebrated Chi nese violinist, who played at the Brad ley theatre Thursday and was given a great reception for his fine playing and that day celebrated notable anni- versary in his career--the sixth of his having played before Theodore Roose. welt and Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Long, worth, Mrs. Frederick Funston, wife of General Funston, and other notables, at a reception given for Mrs. Long, worth in San Francisco. According to an illustrated article that appeared in the leading newspaper of that city on the day following, Sing Fong Lee re- ceived congratulations that were so en- thusiastic as to almost overwhelm him, and he, in turn, was so pleased that he has since regarded July p as a great anniversary day.
 At the Bradley theatre Thursday he showed his great artistic ability and range of playing by programme that included classics, popular airs and na- tional anthems. A number that prov ed special fayorite was My Old Ken lucky Home, played in two-tone ar- engagement.
 Sing Fone Lee, who is a man in his thirties, has spent practically all of his life in this country and speaks Eng fish fiuently. He rites his own mon- ologues and gets in some real humor.

New Buildings Almost Ready.

At the Connecticut Epileptic col- ony in the town of Mansfield the two ward buildings for which the Wheaton Building x Lumber company has the contract, are nearly completed.

Berries Bought a Farm

Paying for home by picking wild berries Is the feat performed by Mrs. Seth Davis of Skowhegan, who for the last twenty-three years has been en- gagged in this industry very successful ly. Her major berry is the raspberry and she averages about fifteen bushels of these in year. She picks about eight bnshels of the field strawberries in the year md many bushels of wild blackberries. Besides picking these she peddles them out in Skowhegan. She now owns tIne farm on the Ga naan road and she remarked that she had paid for it by picking berries. She not only picks berries, but she assists her husband in many ways about the farm. In the winter time she will take a load of wood with a pair of horses, come to Skowhegan, and find a mar ket for 1t, unloading 1t herself. Mrs. Davis is one of the most frequent pat rons of the public library. But she be- lieves that life Is worth more to her by outdoor air and work than 1t could De otherwise. se.--Lewiston Journal.

EIks, Ou.ing

Some fifty local Elks are at the Drawbridge on the Thames river to- day enjoying the outing of their Nor wich brothers. Among the number Is the best base ball team the lodge could produce, and they believe it is some team. Both the Norwich team and the local team have heen telling al the week what they were going to do to each other. We do not wish to bust in, but IL might be we'll to sug- gest that Bill Foran be used as pinch base runner after his showing in Prov idence. Here is what n Norwich pa- per has to say of the feeling in the Rose city camp:
 nWhen the Norwich Elks clash with the Putnam Elks at the draw bridge on Thursday afternoon there promises to be some excitement. Put nam Is coming strong and already sees nothing but the big end of the score, but Jackie Wilson has some slab arr tist on the slate who he says will tie the Putnam boys up tight. After the game the big bake will be served which is an annual event with the Norwich lodge.p

PUTNAM, CONN. FRIDAY, AUGUST 1913
New Law Won't Stop Marriage

When it was heralded that the last session of the legislature passed law that goes into effect Friday, whereby town clerks can not Issue marriage li- censes to couples unless at least one of them resides in the town where appli- cation Is made, or notice of tive days is given, the first thought was that couples from over the border line of the state would no longer come to Putnam. But it seems such is not to be the case as already one couple has seen a loophole by sending notice to the town clerk that they will be on hand about August 18th and ask for the license. Of course their friends in their home town know nothing of 1t and they will slip down to Putnam and return home and tell their friends they are man and wife. Just as easy as before except for the trouble of writing the letter and two cent stamp in addition.
 And of course there will be those who will come to town and state to the town clerk that they live here. Many man is willing to lie on such an occasion and some are even will ling to commit perjury. The law says one must be resident of the town. What is residentg How long must one live in town to become u resident for this purpose9 Can't l come here to live today and change my mind and 20 elsewhere tomorrow? These are some of the questions that are being asked. But it will soon be demonstra- ted how the law will work out and what effect 1t will have.

Woodstock, Conn, July 27, 1913. Sir
 In your last issue you state that the Trustees of Woodstock Academy have abandoned the projet of turning the academy into an agricultural or rather model country high school. Such is not the fact. On the contrary, no decision has yet been arrived at, tho at meeting of the trustees last week all present favored the proposed plan fully or with some qualification except one. Will you please make the correction.

Historic Hotel Burned

The Chepachet Hotel was burned al an early hour last Thursday morning, together with two cottage houses and three barns. The fire is believed to have been of incendiary origin.
 An appeal was made to the fire de- pertinent at Pascoag, four miles away, and shortly before 2.30 men and appar- atus were sent to aid in the fight A message asking for help was sent to Providence, but there was no way of sending either engines or chemicals in time to do any good.
 A scene of wild disorder and confu- sion accompanied the spread of the flames. Families whose homes were threatened carriedstheir household ef- fects out into the streets, and practi- cally every available man in the vil- lage was pressed into service in an ef- fort to check the fire.
 The village is without fre-fghting apparatus, except for hand reels, and the small streams of water which they were able to throw had but little ef- feet on the fire.
 The blaze started in the barn at the rear of the hotel, and within few minutes the flames had leaped to the big wooden hotel, from which sthe guests made hurried exit.
 The Chepachet hotel figured promi. nentIy in the Dorr war, and was also the halfway house for the old stage line from Putnam to Providence, W hen John Wilkinson and George Phillips held the lines.
