was drawn upon the grand jury and
took the oath to consider the evil

what a severe test was to be placed

the officers did not either. One Of

the fact that this brother was indict-

 fond is Trying to Cheat Her.

A woman who conducts a boarding house at 106 Beaver street called on Chief Rawlings at police headquarters this afternoon and amid a shower of tears told him that a woman who owed her $21 board for two children was leaving the city without paying her. Officer Malone went to the de- pot and on the boarding mistress complaint brought Mrs. Jennie La Fond, a former local cabaret artist, to the police station.

WELL, HERE'S OUR OLD
 FRIEND BACK AGAIN
The New Britain -MiddletOwn Canal Bursts Into Print
 Once More.

Like the little brook the poets sing about the New Britain Middletown canal runs on forever. The only dif- ference between the two is that there is water in the brook The canal is a nice canal, as canals go, but so far it consists of nothing more than an ink line drawn through a map.
 But you can't keep good canal down. It will insist on bobbing up and just when the average man be- lieves it has gone to the heaven where all good canals go when they die it suddenly is rcsusitated and comes back smiling. It is the most persistent canal in these parts al- though it has yet to get on the front page through any landslides along its course
 As the result of letter received from Major J. B. Pillsbury of the war department, stationed at New London, Mayor Quigley is thinking of calling a public mass meeting so those who have any ideas regarding the construc- tion of the canal may be heard. The letter, received today, follows:
 "As you are doubtless aware, the river and harbor act approved March 4, 1915, authorized the examination (and, if favorable, the survey) of the Sebethe river, including a canal from a suitable point on that river to New Britain. The examination of the phy- sical characteristics of this waterway and of the maps, has been made; and George M. Landers has courteously furnished me with statistics on its commercial aspects. Before submit ting the report on the examination, however, to afford those interested in such an improvement the fullest op- portunity to be heard, l shall be pleased to receive from you any writ ten communication which you may desire to have considered or forward ed with the report, or to hold a public hearing at New Britain at which those interested may express their views; or if it be so desired, to have more informal conference with the more representative citizens to that end. I shall be very glad to hear from you if you believe any of these courses desirable. .--- -s----.,.-...-
 "I may inform you that I have written in similar tenor to Frank H. Johnston, to George M. Landers and to the President of the Chamber of Commerce"

 #. to White House.

Washington, Sept. 29-All that re- mains of the Union Army of 100000 which fifty years ago passed in re- view before President Johnson, marched up Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol to the White House today and was reviewed by President Wilson. Thousands banked along the line of march, cheered the G. A. R. veterans. There were Confederate veterans in the crowd. and they did some hearty cheering, too.
 Scenes of patriotic enthusiasm marked the passage of the veterans at President Wilson's stand. Ere quently the president waved his hat to the old soldiers. The cheering in the reviewing stand in front of the White House was almost constant
 As a fife and drum corps passed playing Rally Round the Flag, Boys" many in the presidents stand joined in singing the chorus. AS each contingent swung along applause broke out afresh, and many of the old soldiers responded to the presidents greeting by waving flags.
 Tired by the march from the capi- tol to the White House, a little more than a mlle veterans looked exhausted when they reached the presidents stand. Many leaned upon younger and more robust comrades. A few strode forward with unfaltering steps.
 The president stood throughout the entire review, removing his hat each time an American flag passed.
 The procession was headed by Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, retired, who on his arrival before the White House dismounred and joined the president in the reviewing stand. Then came attachments of regular soldiers, sailors and militia, Sons of Veterans, followed and directly be- hind them, led by the United States Marine band, came the first of the old soldiers.
 The parade began to move soon af- ter 10 o'clock and was more than two hours passing. AS it progressed some of the older veterans dropped from the lines. The old soldiers marched nearly in the center of the broad avenue, while the ambulances spun along on both sides
