In our strike of 1911 we were handicapped by the big railroad strike. which drained us of our funds when we needed them to learned the lesson that a general

Burglars at Seder's Store

Seder's clothing and cloak store on Elm street was broken into some lime Thursday might. The break wasn't discovered until the clerk opened up in the morning and discovered that some of the piles of clothing were dis arranged Just what was taken is not known but MT. Seder thinks several oyercoats and several coats and trous- CTS are missing. Apparently the burg lars changed their hats but were wise enough not to leave their old head gear behind for Iclew. Captain Murray was notified of the break and made an investigation. lt WAS found that the thieves had climbed the back stairs on the rear of the building, broken win dow in the toilet roon and climbed through. A towel was found on the outside which 1t was believed was used in letting themselves down as they passed out, the window being num- ter of feet above the stairs. The police are without clews but believe il 10 have been the work Of transients.
 The first elew to the break c,me to light Tuesday morning when one of the oyercoats stolen and an old hat were returned to the police. A laboref working on road for Thomas Ryan, ex. .selectman of Thompson, found the articles in COW path east Of the rail- road track opposite the Mechanicsyiile sehoolhouse. Mir. Ryan had read of the break in the paper and communi- cated with Captain Murray who asked him to bring the things to Putnam for identification which he did. Mr.f5eder positively identified the coat, which was of gray material, size 42, as one of the garments taken from his store, The hat was not his and was doubtless an old one discarded by the burglar This bears out the theory Of the police that the break was the work Of tran sients.

NO ROOM
State Farm For Inebriates Full
Forty Six Inmates Now Confined

Judge k. NJ. Warner, clerk of the Superior court for Windham county, has received word that the State Farm for Inebriates at Norwich is full and that no more in mates can be received al present.
 The iarm was established by an act of the last general assembly which provided thnt IL should accommodate not less than B cases, The number has now reached 46 The state farm Is an institution which MT. Warner, and others interested ia prison reform work, have been urging for years. The present farm Is in the nature of an ex- pertinent. The law provides that when ine6riaIes gre sent from any city, town or borough court that the com mitment shall be paid by the town or city from which such commitment Is made. A further provision as to main. tenance has been construed by the con troller as to putting the burden on the towns or cities for the board each inmate committed at an amount not to exceed S3.50 week. If the conn mitment Is made by the superior court then the state pays the bill. It was thought that this would have tend ency to cause the jndges Of minor courts to continue to send offenders to jail where the city or town would not hnu tn ha hstfdaus nf a No cases have been sent to the farm from Putnam but at least one has been sent from the county and when the commitment was made 1t was under the belief that the state would pay costs.
 The Windnam County jail has been an asset to the county and 1t Is believed by those favonng a stale farm that il the plan Is carried out on large scale that 1t can be made paying institn- ton as well AS A reiormatory one. The roundef can be made to work during his refotmatofy period and will thus earn his own way md put the tarm on a paying basis even though q profit k not made. The appropriation asked for at the lssl session of the legislature was not forthcoming but the present experimental institution WAS voted and is believed to be the first step to- wards a large farm devoted wholly to the purpose of caring for the common drunkard an rounder.
