PROPOSES CANAL FROM
 NORWICH TO WORCESTER
Congressman Mahan Puts This Plan
 Into Bill Before Congress.

After consultation with the officials of the engineer corps of the war de- pertinent, Congressman Bryan F. Mahan, representing the Second Con- gressional district of Connecticut, has introduced a bill providing for a sur vey for a barge canal which will ex tend from Norwich through New Lon- don and Windham counties up into the state of Massachusetts as far as the city of Worcester, says a Washing ton dispatch. The proposed route fol- lows the Shetucket river from Nor wich up to the point where the Quin- ebaug empties into it. thence up the Quinebaug to it's juncture with the French river which is followed to the city of Worcester Although not ready to commit themselves the government engineers who are acquainted with the route regard the canal as feasible, not only from an engineering point of.View but as a commercial project.
 The engineers are convinced that there is plenty of water to be had from the lakes along the rivers and that the beds of the streams are of such a nature that it will make the cost of upkeep comparatively small. They do not think the cost of con struction will be excessively high.
 The importance of such a canal to the manufacturing establishments in the towns of Brooklyn. Killingly, Put nam and Thompson can scarcely be over estimated. It would virtually move all the factories located in these towns to tide water. Coal for all of the factories located on the proposed route could be loaded in barges at the coal pockets at Perth Amboy. N. J., and shipped directly to the docks of the different concerns. It is es- timated that at least a saving of 40 cents per ton on the freight can be made on every ton of coal used in that region. As a return load for the barges the output of the factories can be shipped to New London, where they can be transshirped to all parts of the world. The manufact cturer is by no means the only beneficiary, the farm CTS of northeastern Connecticut and that portion of the state of Massachu- setts traversed by the canal can ship their produce at far cheaper rate. and find ready markets at Norwich and New London

 During the banquet hour and later through the evening an orchestra, di- rected by William R. HcCord rendered popular selections while the banquet ters shared in the enjoyable music by singing from the sheets which had been provided with the words of the chor- uses on them. After one of MacDou galds fine chowders with all the fix ings had been discussed, Assistant Postmaster Peale assumed the place of toastmaster in his usual capable manner and Postmaster Caruthers ex pressed the welcome to the guests of the evening. speaking in appreciation of the get-together spirit which prompted these gatherings.
 Mayor Murphy was heard in brief remarks in which he made a pleas ant and complimentary reference to the work of the postal clerks and car riers, of whom the places represented at this gathering, he said, had some of the best in the service
 Postmaster Butler of Westerly re- sponded for that office4 expressing also his aDiOVD1Anf of the social eVPnin g which the Norwich men were provid- ing and expressing a cordial hope that the Westerly force might have an early chance to reciprocate.

sTAssINe AFFRAY ON
 NORTH MAIN STREET
Paul puritz Cut in the Shoulders and George Kokes in the Hand-Charies Authur Accused.

Policeman Matthew Delaney dived into crowd of about fifteen struggling men on North Main street in front of St. Mary's church on Saturday eve ming shortly, before. midnight and ar rested Charles Authur and Paul Du- ritz whom. he found clinched on tine ground in the middle of the trolley tracks. Duritz had stab woun0s in his shoulders which he claimed had been inflicted by Authur. Arthur had a stab wound in the back of his right thigh just above his knee. which he claimed had been received in the fight
 The rest of the crowd scattered. but the policeman took his two prisoners to police headquarters where both had their wounds sewed up by pr. J. w. Callahan, whom Captain D. J. Two mey summoned to the station. In his right shoulder Duritz had stab wound at least an inch and half deep, entering just back of the shoul- der blade. It did not show signs of having touched the lung although it danger. The other wound was in his left shoulder at the top of the arm and went nearly to the bone
 After his wounds were dressed, Du- ritz was sent to the Backus hospital, but it is expected he can be in the police court when the case comes up this morning. Authur was kept in a cell over night and was re.-ased on bail of s1,00O on Sunday afternoon. He is charged with assault with a dan gerous weapon. A good sized pocket knife was taken from him by the po- Heeman.
 When first brought in Authur ex- plained the fight by saying that he had been on his way home when he met number of men and somebody hit him in the leg with a stick and that he was defending himself in the melee.
 DOliOaVaoT Dnlnr1RU had his. two prisoners at police headquarters; George Yamoyans came in and after he had been questioned by Captain Twomey, the captain sent out Police man Delaney to arrest George kokes at a house in Greeneville. Sergeant Kane was also notified and reached the house just after the policeman had taken Kokes into custody. kokeS had a slight cut in his hand.
 Subsequently, Authur accused Yamo- vans and a man named Samuel Leo nardus as being two who had hit him and they were both arrested, charged with the others with breach of the peace. From stories told by Tamo- vans and others it was said that the fight started after party of Greeks had been drinking some imported cor dial from their native land. They were in a house on North Main street just north of Golden street. Authur who Is a Syrian, was one of the party and when a glass of the Greek drink was offered to him, Duritz raised ob- lection and tried to take it away from him. Authur grabbed chair. but was prevented from striking Duritz, who was hustled off into another room while Authur was put out of the house. Here it is claimed he lay in wait for Duritz and attacked him when he came out.
 The yelling of the crowd and of the residents in the neighborhood attract ed Policeman Delaney. who made good time to the spot and was just in time to collar the two principals.
 Bonds of s100 each were furnished for Kokes, Yamoyans and Leonardus on Sunday afternoon.

Brief remarks were also made by President Shea and President Me Weigh, R. J. Kelly and c. J. Col llns of New London, with two songs by John J. Shugrue that were finely rendered and recitations by Herman F. Staab of New London, that the ban quetters enjoyed. Selections were also rendered on the Edison diamond disk phonograph through the courtesy of the Porteous & Mitchell company. The instrument was in charge of D. J. Hinchey.
 When called upon to speak, Con gressman Mahan said that he remem- bered with pleasure the gathering of a year ago and he was gled to be here again with the post office men. He told them that they had every reason to be proud of their vocation and the country had reason to be proud of them. It is a business that requires in high degree the qualities of hon. esty, integrity and faithfulnesS to duty and he felt that it could be said with out fear of contradiction that no class of men in the country showed so high record in the performance of their work. He appreciated their laborious duties, he said, because he had been in the ranks himself and that time constituted five of the happiest years of his life and the friendships then formed would last through life. He assured the post office men that he was their friend and believed in a reason able compensation for them for their arduous duties and they could count upon him to stand back of them.
 In his characteristically easy way Postmaster Mckinley pleased his hear CTS with brief and informal remarks in which he said that while he had been a bright student in school he had never been valedictorian, but now he and Billy Caruthers had attain ed to that rank and would henceforth attend such gatherings as past mem bers.
 He spoke of the excellent record that the postal force had made in handling that unknown problem, the parcel post service, and said that big and new as it was it had not been more than they could handle. He told the men that they had good friends in the legislature who would take care of them and he contrasted present with former conditions in that once the force was the poorest paid and the least appreciated of the public servants but now there is hardly any service so well paid or so well treated as the the committee on the entertainment and said he always had a good time when he catne to Norwich, for he never in his life came to this city that he was sorry for it.
