NORWICH WILL HEAR
 PROFESSOR FISHER
Brought Here by Central Labor Union
 to Speak in Town Hall.

. Word has been received by the Gen. tral Labor union from Professor Will lard c. Fisher that he can come here on Monday evening to speak in re- sponse to their invitation and the union has accordingly made arrangements to secure the town hall where the Mid- dletown man can appear before a big mass meeting. A Sunday date had at first been suggested but this was changed as it was considered that a Sunday afternoon in the summer time was a poor time to expect any big au- dtence Sr any speaker and the union men want big audience to hear Pro- lessor Fisher. not only of their own members, but of the general public as well
 Professor Fisher, who is appearine as Labors candidate in the struggle for the nomination for governor before the democratic state convention has given out his topic as Labor's Interest in the 1914 Campaign. In this con- flection he promises to shed light on the contract prison labor system. and also to speak along the line of work mems compensation.

TRYING TO HAVE
 REPLEVIN BOND INCREASED
Jack Gardner Alleges Pacsr Tommy K. Is Worth Much More Than S5co.

Another chapter in the story of Tommy K, the crack pacing horse, which Mrs. Blanche Harrington, through the agency of Sheriff Tubbs, replevined from Jack Gardner at Mys- tic. on Tuesday, was unfolded before Justice Max Boyer in New London Friday afternoon. Attorney George Curtis Morgan appeared for Gardner in a petition to have the amount of the replevin bond which had been fur nished by Attorney Richard F. Free man, counsel for Mrs. Harrington, sub stantially raised.
 According to law the bond In such cases must be twice the value of the property invoyed and in this instance 1t was paced at s1.00o. the pacer hav- ing been worth $500. Subsequently 1t was adeged by Gardner that the pacer was worth a sum much in excess of $500 and Justice Boyer was asked to raise the bond to an amount which, in the opinion of Gardners counsel would protect his interests.
 P. H. O'Brien. a barber. testified that in his opinion the pacer was worth from S1,500 to s2,0oe. A MT. Blumen- thai a racing expert also placed the value of the animal at figure approx innate to that of Mir. OtBrien. Dr: c. E. Bitgood. Fred J. West and Thomas Howe did not consider the horse worth more than the original estimate. They placed its value aI s350 to $4oo. Justice Boyer reserved his decision as to increasing the bond

LOOKING UP EVIDENCE
 AGAINST BURGLAR NICHOLAS. Police Trying to Fix Various Breaks in
 This Vicinity on Him,

Since the arrest of William Nicholas i'll NewsLondon, suspected of burglaries ia that city, there have been no burg laries. and while this is not evidence that may be used against Nicholas, it las caused the state police to resume their investigation. Nicholas is in fail for vagrancy. The Norwich police want him when his term is finished for bur- glary at the store of c. S. Fairclough. Before that time residents of Lyme will be asked to identify Nicholas as tho man seen under discriminating cir curnstances in that town.
 Persons who saw a man attempting to commit a burglary in New London a few minutes before Nicholas arrest ccIld not identify him as the would De burglar, but some of them are conf Eent he is the same man since hearing Of the evidence against him. State po- lcemen expect to have sufficient evil deIice against Nicholas before the Sep telnber term of the superior court to present him on more charges than the Norwich burglary.

1913 LEGISLATIVE CLUB
 HELD ITS REUNION
Had Attendance of 2s6-Senator Avery
 On Executive Committee.

Senator Charles S. Avery of Nor wich is a member of the executive committee of the 1918 club of the leg islatfre which met in all its glory at Momaugin, on the shcre outside ot New Haven on Wednesday. As the Hartford Times found things there were present by actual count 2s6 former legislators, former and present state officers: those who have remote hopes of attaining thata distinction; and those who are declared just step- ping across the portal of that happy arena wherein one is permitted to affix Hon. to his name and to draw a monthly check from the state treas ury.
 By precept and tradition politics were supposed to have been fore sworn for the day. Yet why was Charles W. Comstock so busy and Colonel Robert o. Easton so prorni- nent? However. it was about as diff
 acuit to discover what the little knots of guests were discussing, as to interpret what the waves were saying. It was not hard to believe that the respective merits of Cover nor Baldwin and Congressman Ma han were exploited by the partisans of these two democratic possibilities for the UnSed States senate and that Judge Hcnney's and Senator lips. Governor Baldwin was not Brandegee's names were on some present. Mir. Mahan, it was said, was in Washington. Comptroller Dunn occupied the head of what might be called the head table. although it was not apparent that the arrangement had been made with an idea of creating such a post of vantage. Treasurer Roberts was the only other state ofi- cial of the present day in attendance. Souvenir Taylor found di- vertisement from the practical vo- cation of caring for the material wants of the diners in the avocation of dis- tributing badges and a. cleverly exe- cuted pin, t-shaped, but blue in color, emblcmatic of the sinking hearts of the republican cohorts as they view the havoc to be created by democrats and bull moose in the fall, so said a l more facetious than sympathetic ob- server.
