DESPICABLE STORY REFUTED.

CERTAIN Democratic apologsts for Senator saus-
" bury circulating in this city a story to the
effect that If George L. Townsend. Republican had
to surrender the office of United states marshal
for this district he would ousted charges
the chief of which would have been that in November.
1914 he absented himself his Office without leave
and went TO Cleveland, O.
The outrageousness Of that story is made manifest
by the following letter which Assistant Attorney
eral Samuel J. Graham writing the Attorney Gen
eral, sent TO Mr. Townsend at that time:
Washington, d. c., Nov II, 1914
George L. Townsend, Esq,
United St9tes Marshal
Wilmington Delaware
Sir: AS requested in your letter of the 10th instant
leave Of absence for the purpose Of visiting a sick
daughter at Cleveland Ohio is hereby granted you
In order to complete this file kindly notify the De-
partment after you shall have returned to duty the
exact period of your absence under this authority.
Respectfully,
SAMUEL J. GRAHAM.
Assistant Attorney General
The records in Washington show that following the
receipt of news of the critical illness a married
daughter in Cleveland Marshal Townsend wrote 10
the Attorney and asked for leave Of absence
that he and Mrs Townsend might go West TO see her.
The letter is the prompt reply TO that applica-
ton.
When Mr. Townsend arrived in Cleveland he discov-
cred that his daughter had undergone two surgical
operations, of a major nature He spent six days
with her and in order 10 time in getting back TO
his office here took nighttime train Immediately
after his return he informed the Attorney General
and that letter is should be- file in the Office of
that official
addition II may be said that the six days spent In
the home Of his stricken daughter constituted the first
last and only vacation had by Mr. Townsend during
the time he held the Office Of United States marshal
We rece these facts merely to show what mean and
despicable tactics Senator Salisbury and certain of
his henchmen have pursued in their warfare upon one
of the best and competent United States marshas
this district has had

HOW OMAHA BOOSTS.
Ak Sar-5e FestiVities-D. J. o'5rien of Fhermos Go. Is One of the Gov ernors.

One of the governors for the 1915 -Sar-Ben (Nebraska spelled back wards) festivities in Omaha. which opened Sept. and closes Oct. is D. J. O'Brien, now of this city, who recently came from Omaha to be sales manager of the Thermos Bottle com- pany and a future resident of Nor wich.
 The knights of Ak-SarIBen are members of an organization which was formed in Omaha in 1885 by the bus mess men of that city for the pur- pose of boosting Omaha and Nebraska. It is a great organization where no knockers are permitted to thrive. Even the "piker" is being routed from his lair and made to loosen up by the bunch of live ones that swarm the Kingdom of Quiveria. Everybody is eligible to membership, the active season of the knights ranging from June to October, and during the re- mainder of the year preparation if being made for the coming festivities
 This year the weekly entertainment | is entitled The Isle of Pep and thi: with the big carnival which is held at the same time, is proving one of the biggest attractions that has beer | held along this line
 The festivities are similar in msnl respects to the Mardi Gras of New Or leans, the Rose festival at Portland Ore., the Yelled Prophets at St Loui l and the Priests of Palace at Kansas City. The Ak-Sar-Ben festivities hay, | continued with, unparalleled succes, for a period of 30 years and 1t is gen erally admitted that none of the othe
 celebrations can compare with it il grandeur or financial satisfaction. I Omaha finds it the greatest kind O a booster and 1t attracts visitors iron all over the country.

AT DAVIS THEATRE.
Kick In.

One of the big dramatic successes of the New York season, Willard Mack's vivid portrayal along the line of third degree methods in the New York police department, was given on Thursday night at the Davis theatre before a house of moderate size but of sympathetic appreciation of the work of the cast and curtain calls were free ly given at the end of the second and third acts of the four that make up the play. The drama. with its spice of comedy in the underworld terms with which it <is freely sprinkled, is built up along the line of the ceaseless sur veillance and suspicion which attaches to anyone who has ever done time which is expressed in the police atti- tude of 'once a crook, always a crook Two people who are trying to live right are unwittingly framed into ap- parent guilt In the theft of a very valuable necklace, but their honest in. tentions finally bring them clear of the machinery of the law that is trying tc ] faSten the crime upon them.
 One of the new features of the play i is the use of a hypodermic syringe upon police officer who is engaged il Il a struggle with man upon whom ht had fastened the handcufrs.
 George H. Tilton, Jr., and EvelyI Faber in the two leading parts wer' well chosen and gave convincing realty to their work, while Joseph RobisoI as the police commissioner was goot as the browbeating police head. Anni Day, Lou Ripley and Aileen Poe con l trtbuted materially to the comedy O the play, and the minor parts wer' well taken.

 of Maine Express.

As by the new train schedule the early mail on the Central Vermont railroad reaches this city about an hour later, in order to have the car riers leave at 7.3o a. m.. and have the mail in the boxes as usual. Postmaster Murphy made personal request of the superintendent of this railway mail division to discontinue sending via the Central Vermont railroad and to have all mail possible sent by the State of Maine express.
 This request was granted, and the New York and Boston mail now reach es here on those trains at 1.24 and 2.14 a. m. which enables the six early morning clerks to dispose of such mat ter before the arrival of the Worcester and New London train at 5.46 a. m This effort on the part of MT. Murphy to have the early delivery as usual without regard to train. schedule, will be appreciated by the citizens of Nor wich and shows that he intends to keep his office up to date.
