DROWNED MAN FOUND
 IN THAMES RIVE
Body Picked Up Off Massapeag-MaS aS be Carl Swedhers, Formerly ot PIainfieId.

The body of an unknown man was found by Joseph Smith in the water of the Thames Monday afternoon just below Massapeag. Dr. Fox, medical examiner of the town of Montville, who was notified ordered the body re- moved to this city and Church & Allen were given permission by the NorWlch authorities to take the body to their morgue on Main street.
 To all appearance the man had been in the water for some time as the face was quite badly decomposed so that it was impossible to distinguish the features. He was about 5 feet 9 inches in height, and weighed about 165 pounds. His hair was black. Ow- ing to the decomposed features it Is impossible to tell his age but it is thought that he was between 40 and 45 years old. He was dressed in good clothes, wore underclothing, suit, overcoat and a pair of shoes in good condition. In his pockets were found a small sum of money, an immigration card such as is issued by the immi- grafton authorities and a receipt for a registered letter. On the immigra- ton card the port of departure was given as Liverpool and the date of de- parture May 27, 1913. The name of the ship upon which the owner of the card embarked was given as R. M. s. F'ranconia. Upon the card appeared the name Carl Swedberg. The receipt for the registered letter was dated June ', 1913, and the post office at which the receipt was issued was Plainfield, Conn. The name of the per son to whom the registered letter was sent was given as Mrs. Emma Boy eson, Boras, Sweden and the sender. Carl Swedberg. There were no marks of violence on the body. It is thought the man may have worked in Plainfield and that he may have friends or rela- tiVes there.

ADVERSE TO BOARD OF RELIEF
Decision of Judge Burpee Case of Mohican O. Tax List He Cuts Amount Down From $4000 to $2, 2,900-Also Denies Motion to Expunge in Damage Suit in Siter vs. Suawboard Co.

Judge Lucien F. Burpee of the su- perior court, before whom the case of the Mohican company vs. the town of Norwich, an appeal from the board of relief, was argued here last week, handed down decision on Monday in favor of the Mohican company. He sets the figure at which they are to be assessed for taxation in the 1912 grand list at $2, 300.
 When the Mohican company put in placed the sum of $2,00o upon the item stock on hand. In the complaint drawn in the suit before the court it was stated that the assessors raised this item to 2.400 and then erased the item of stock on hand" and inserted in it's stead the wording average amount of goods on hand during the year (groceries, meats, etc.), together with good debts due me-" and they placed this in the list at S5,0o0. At the same time they raised the Mohi- can company's list on steHe fixtures from $500 to $500.
 The company took an appeal before the board of relief on the valuation on hand, and the board of relief re- by the board of relief the Mohican company appealed to the superior court, whose decision now makes the amount $2,900. The Mohican company has paid taxes on the sum at which they ~ut the property in, but not on the amount to which, it was raised

 He also says that it was not dis puted during the hearing that there were no good debts due' to the plaintiff He decides that $2,900 is a fair and just valuation and fixes 1t at that amount. Town Counsel T. M. Shields appeared for the board of re- lief in the trial and R. P. Freeman fer the Mohican company.
 Denies Motion to Expunge.
 In the case of George D. Sitler vs. American Strawboard company, Judge Burpee has denied the plaintiffs mo- ton to expunge three paragraphs of the defendants answer. The judge rules that the allegations objected to may be superfiuous but they are not irrelevant and immateriaI, and they are not harmful but rather helpful to the plaintiff.
 Sitler, who was an employe of the New London Northern Railroad com pany, is suing the Strawboard com pany for s5, 900 for damages for in- juries he received on April 23, 1913, when he was on top of a freight car and was struck by electric light wires which cross the tracks to the Straw board company factory at ThamesVille. MT, Sitler's jaw was bruised, his teeth Ioosened, his right ear cut and he was otherwise bruised and injured, so that he spent S100 for medical care and was incapacitated from work for 12 weeks, he claims, at a loss of $25o.

Special c. E. Service Held in Conere. eationaI ChapeI-Obervanee of Can dlemas Day-Musicale-Din Par fV.

There was e special service in the chapel of the First Congregational church Sunday evening, nearly every chair being taken. The room was dec orated with c. E. fiogs, and the pro gramme well carried out the spirit of Christian Endeavor. President H. T. Frazier and the pastor, Rev. G. H. Ewing, were in charge of the meeting.
 Miss H. Louise Hyde referred to the 100000 societies with their 5000 900 members in so denominations through out the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and some societies in Aus tralia and South America. This society stands for the cultivation of the devo- tional life. and is a training for ser vice. It works through literature, reg ular services, outside visiting societies are found on men O war, among the Indians, in business offices and in asy lums. This movement will go on with increasing blessedness through all the years to come.
 A solo. Lord Jesus, When I Think of Thee, was beautifully rendered by Miss Ruth L. Potter, Miss Bernice Underwood accompanying.
 Rev. G. H. Ewing spoke of progress in the future as depending upon the two L's, love and loyalty. Christ's word, That ye love one another as I have loved you" shows that we must live not simply for ourselves alone, but go out to all the world to draw others to the light. Loyalty to the church implies church membership.
 Rev. c. A. Northrop spoke briefly, saying: There are infinite possibilities in doing plain commonplace things ev cry day. These committees formed 33 years ago are just as new and contain as many opportunities as ever. If we are willing to follow our Leader we shall reach higher and higher places.
 Monday evening there was a Chris tian Eendeavor social in the chapel with games and refreshments. This (Tuesday) evening all are invited to an entertainment at the Y. M. c. A. Later in the week there will be Junior and Senior rallies. Thus throughout the week will be ommemorated the founding of the first Christian En- deavor society in Portland, Me, S3 yeras ago.

LYcEuM CONSIDERED |
 VOTES FOR WOMEN.
Enthusiastic Support for the Cause at
 Grace Memorial Church.

The subject Of Votes for Women coming before the Union Lyceum on sunday afternoon at Grace Memorial Baptist church. drew large attend ance. among whom were several from the Norwich Equal Franchise league. meeting recorded strong sentiment in favor or the franchise for women. A number of the members of the Lycemum expressed their intention of enrolling in the local Equal Franchise league.
 Two papers of particular interest up- on the general topic were presented by Miss Idella Scott and Miss Clare Bell Robinson.
 In her paper Miss Scott said:
 The question of votes for women Is one which is commanding the atten- toin Of the whole civilized world, which sees that the number of women who are asking for the vote in this coun- try Is larger than the number of men who have ever asked for anything in its entire history; that more and larg CT petitions asking for votes for wom- en have been sent to legislative bod ies than for any other measure; that the press of this country is giving more space to woman suffrage than to any other one public question. The legislatures of 28 states this year en- tertained woman suffrage measures, II of them favorably; and that a bill for a woman suffrage amendment to the United States constitution is now be- fore congress. In every state and country where the franchise has been extended to women the vote of the men has steadily risen. There has been a remarkable development of in dependence among the women of the civilized world noticeable, not only in America, but in Europe it has had many forms of manifestations
 The movement for woman's suffrage is just part of the eternal forward march of the human race toward 8 complete revolution. Do you know that it was by slow and hard fought stages that all men finally won the right to vote, and that in most foreign countries the franchise for men is still heavily loaded with restrictions. The new movement has been productive o1 much positive good, and 1t has en- larged the outlook of women, increas- ed their intelligence and self-reliance rendered homes happier, ennoblet men and dignifled politics; that in al lifted the vicinity to a purer atmoS' phere, for woman has always a refin- ing influence upon an assembly where men congregate?
 The duties of motherhood and tht making of home are the most sacred work of women, and the dearest tt them of every class. If casting an in telilgent vote would interfere witN what women can only do, no one cal question which a woman should choose. But it cannot be shown tha there are any large number of womel in this country who have not the nee essary time to vote intelligently. Tn study of the vital question of our gov ernment would make them better com rades to their husbands and friends better guides to their sons and nor interesting and valuable members o society.
