MASS MEETING OF
 STRIKING GARMENT WORKERS
Counseed to Stick to the Strike by
 New York Oraanizer.


 Under the auspices of Norwich local, ,, No. 168, United Garment Workers, whose members are out on strike, a
 mass meeting was held Sunday even ing in the Colonial theatre with an attendance of nearly 300 people. l Speakers in English, Italian and Yid-
 dish discussed the strike situation here and counseled the strikers to hold out in the strike which has now been in progress two weeks.
 Samuel Raucher president of the To- cal, opened the meeting and presented Daniel POlsky as the chairman. Seated with them upon the platform were those who later addressed the meet
 ing.
 Chairman Polsky made a few intro- l ductory remarks in which he acknow- ! Iedged the generosity of the theatre management in giving them the use of
 the hall without charge, and this an
 nouncement was greeted with ap- plause.
 The chairman introduced Max Coan
 an organizer from New York, as the first speaker. He interested his hear CTS with his statements of the Situa- tiOn. saying that it was the intention in forming the local to put this town Z on a par with others by having a un- l ion organization in the craft in it and that the existence of the local was ! the workers and hence better the con-
 dition of the town. He asked how it
 was possible for conditions to con- tinue where men and girls did 60 or TO hours of work per week and he pie 1 tured the advantages of less hours and
 more pay which would be of benefit to
 the health of the workers. The man. ufacturers, he said, had begun to dis i charge people when they learned of
 organization, but he told his audience
 that as soon as the manufacturers
 realized they had union to deal with he felt sure they would want to come around and settle. Stick to the strike till you wfn.' he said. and he indicated that the ultimate aim was for AS hours work in all the craft
 MT Coan compared the price for
 making knee pants here and in New York and said it was ! IA cents here and Is cents in New York. He prom ised that the garment workers In New York would watch that no people were imported here to take the places of the strikers. and he advised the Norwich 1 local to do picket duty as the best way of making their strike effective. J. J. Connolly, who said he came as the representative of the Norwich Cen tral Labor union, was .the next speak
 CT, and said he could assure the gar ment workers union that every as sistance would be given them, morally and financially and as long as the strike was carried on in a peaceable and orderly way he predicted they would have the support of the people of Norwich.
 Both speakers were enthusiastically
 applauded, as were others who fol- lowed, who included Ralph Harris of New London, who spoke in Italian, 1.
 Polsky of New Haven, who spoke in
 English, and Morris Taft of New Lon-
 don. who spoke in Yiddish.
 A collection was taken. The meeting adjourned after 10 o'clock

load of commercial lines and the city ! arc lights as we'll
 Water Game Back.
 Shortly before o'clock the current was sent over the commercial lines and the Main street stores were illumi- mated for the Saturday shoppers. This, however, did not apply to the Broad way stores north of Main street, nor to the Davis theatre nor the police sta until about 7.55, by which time water conditions in the river were changed and the turbine waa started again Sc as to give the full supply.
 Other Towns Affected.
 As the city, since the repairs at the Unces power company dam were start ed, has been supplying the electricity for Manchester, Rockville and Stafford those places also lost their electricity for Saturday night until they could start up their own plants.
 Telephones Helpless.
 Citizens who tried to use the tele- phone line to find out what was the matter learned that that too was out of business. We have lost our ringing power,'' was the answer from central, and can't call anybody They get their electric current from the city plant but have a small machine of
 
 started up and after about half an hour the telephones were working again.
 Trouble on Sunday.
 On Sunday the trouble developed a little earlier in the day, those who tried to use electric light finding that there was none at a little before 5 o'clock. During Sunday the small en- zine was kept running while the tur- bine was cleaned up, but in the lat ter part of the afternoon the turbine was started again to take care of the night load. Just before 5 o'clock it had to be shut down for lack of water, bringing the small engine back into use and the commercial lines were sup piled before 5.15, but the street lights had to wait again till about o'clock when the turbine could be run again. The telephone line were affected for only a short time on Sunday
 William F. Bogue. former superin- tendent of the city gas and electrical department, said Sunday night that he thought similar conditions regarding water had affected the plant before, but he could remember no such tfeup as had happened this time ano he was surprised to learn that the small Bass engine would not carry the whole load as it did it last year when they were putting in the turbine and he thought it would yet if up in shape.
 Edwin W. Higgins of the Uncas Power company said Sunday night that the repairs at the dam in Scotland were proceeding satisfactorily but it would be the middle of November, he thought, before they would be all com pleted He remarked that there was hardly a single week when the Un- cas power plant was running but that the city called on them for help.
 When asked if the city meant to re- new the contract with the Uncas Power company which expires on the first of January, MT. Higgins said that they had stated they would not do so, but had offered the Uncas Power com pany proposition which the company had not accepted. The matter walls still in the adjustment stage.

CRIME FOR WHICH
 STERRE WENT TO PRISON.
Committed in New London Sentenced from Superior Court in Norwich in 


 Dwight r. Steere, who died in the state prison at Wethersfield on Tues day, was sentenced to life term for murder in New E0ndon on April Fl, 1876. Frederick A. White was the vie- tim of the murder. Whites body was found on Colts wharf on the morning of Thursday, July 29, 1875, and Steere was sent to prison after trial in the superior court in this city.
 The body of the young man was identified by means Of memoran- dunn book, which gave his address in Worcester. By a singular coincidence Police Lieutenant J. Clinton Shepard passed Steere as he came from the scene of the murder. Steere did not attract the attention of the officer at that time but afterwards said: T had a presentment when he passed me that Lieutenant Shepard would be the man to arrest me"
 This foreboding came to pass only after considerable detective work had died on March 13, 1912, had shown ability as $ detective and was detail ed to the case. He went to Worcester and asked for the assistance of the po- lice of that city. Detective Churchill, who afterwards gained fame as hunt CT of criminals was assigned 10 assist him.
 A horse car conductor, who knew both White and Steere, said Steere with White rode on his car in Worces- ter the day before the murder. Steere was apprehended at his work in a shop and was asked to explain ms whereabouts He was well known to high police officials in Worcester and their intercession for him assisted in making his story seem plausible. Steere was released
 Lieutenant Shepard was skeptical of Steere's account of his movements on the day preceding and the day after the murder After the Worcester po- lice had dismissed the matter, Lieu tenant Shepard obtained permission to search Steere's room, and there, se- creted in a clothes closet, found knife with blood stained blade. Once previously Shepard had passed out of the closet, believing, nothing to ln- criminate Steere could be found. Steere was rearrested, and when shown the knife, broke down and con- fessed. He was brought to New Lon don. The crime was committed on the night of July 28, 1875; the arrest made August B. 1875, and on April 21, 1876, Steere was convicted and sentenced in the superior court in this city. Steere's story was to the effect that White and he had come to New Lon don from Worcester by train to go from there to Philadelphia. Both men had been drinking on the train When they reached New London they were sick, so they went to Colts wharf to get out of the way. CraZed by drink Steere conceived the plot to rob and murder White He stabbed him five times with his knife and took his watch, chain and money.
 Steere's case was heard by Chief Jus tice Park and Associate Justice Foster. Thomas M. Waller, state attorney, prosecuted Steere was defended by Attorneys Andrew c. Lippitt and Charles w. Butler. Steere escaped once from the prison, but was quickly recaptured.
