FAVOR ANOTHER MERCHANTS WEEK
Business Men of City Think Plan Ought to be Continued Some Changes Suggested-Comnttee of Five to De-
 wise Working Scheme for This Year-Report in Week.

In response to a call that had been sent to the 95 business houses that participated in Merchants week here last spring, there was a meeting at o'clock on Thursday afternoon in the building to consider whether it was advisable to conduct Merchants week again. The prevailing opinion was that the plan, possibly with some notifications, should be carried out again, and a committee was appointed to report again in week with a plan for another Merchants week this year.
 Representatives of 15 business houses were present when John M. Lee called the meeting to order shortly after 4 o'clock, and Frank J. King was elected chairman, with Herbert B. Cary as said that the general opinion among the business men, he believed, was that the Merchants week had been a satisfa ctory experience and he called upon MT. Lee to speak upon the pur- pose of this meeting.
 Not only at the time of Merchants week, but later, said MT. Lee, the town had experienced much benefit from the plan carried out last year, and 1t seem ed to be the opinion of many that the special week ought to be made an an- nual event. Each time would profit by the experience of the year gone before and the plan could be carried out from year to year with increasing success and satisfaction.
 c. M. Hutzler, W. T. McGarry and Abner Schwartz spoke in approval of another similar week, with MT. Mo- Garry giving the opinion that 1t would probably be possible to reduce ex- penses this time. Albert Boardman was another who thought it was worth while to carry out the plan again.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-03-26

R. F. Smith made the suggestion that rebate ought to be given to all customers, whether local or out of town, and that it would be advisable to follow that plan.
 H. B. Cary, c. Edward Sn ith and speak in general favor of another Mer- chants week, and J. E. Marchessault gave it as his opinion that many cus- toners objected to the necessity of go- ing to the central clearing house to get their rebate on purchases and he thought the plan ought to be made so that the rebate could be given right at the store, instead of through the clear ing house.
 The crux of the whole matter, said MT. Lee, when he spoke again, was in the rebate, and wherever a Merchants week had been carried out this had always been done through a central clearing house. There were complica- tfons that arose through the giving of rebates at the stores, and he had known of very few who had made any objections to the clearing house plan which he argued would be shown to be the best for the merchants themselves when looked at from a financial stand point.
 It was voted that it was the senti- ment of the meeting that another Mer- chants week should be had and Chair man King was directed by vote of the meeting to name 8. committee of five to take the matter into consideration and to report a plan at a meeting to be held next Thursday afternoon at o'clock at the Board of Trade rooms.
 The committee appointed was John M. Lee. c. M. Hutzler, William T. Mo Garry, Daniel T. Shea and Samuel Kronig.
 All present were invited to assist the committee with suggestions.

STORM CENTER
 IN THAMES SQUARE.
Fight Microbes Were in the Air on
 Thursday Afternoon.

Peter Boletski, young man about 21 years old, wearing a red sweater, was a storm center in Thames square on Thursday afternoon about o'clock engaging in two fights and finally fall ing into the hands of Policeman Frank s. Henderson, who was on his way home after his days work. At the same time the policeman had on his hands another man who was intoxicat- ed and who clung fast to the railing of the West Side bridge so that Bbletski had a chance to break away while the policeman was trying to dislodge tn. other man from his attachment to the bridge.
 The young fellow in the red sweater started off at racing gait to escape through Falls avenue and up the tracks past the Central Vermont railroad sta . ton, but was chased and caught by Harry Crumb, who started off after h i'm at the request of the policeman who handed over his other prisoner to bystander.
 Boletskt was good sprinter, but Crumb was a better one and he caught the fugitive above the Central Vermont freight station. where he held him for the arrival of the policeman. who was coming close behind on the run.
 While the three men were walking down the railroad track Boietsk sud- denly swung on Crumb and landed a heavy punch on Crumbs eye, but the
 
 man Henderson retaliated with a right handler on the young fellows mouth Thereafter he was docile and was walked to the police station by the police officer and Crumb, where he was locked up on charges of breach of the peace, intoxication and resisting an of- ficer. Harry Levine also rendered as- sistance in the case.
 The other man who had been handed over to a citizen had reached the police station before this. He was too much mudd1ed with drink to be able to, tell his name before he was locked up.
 Boletski was bailed out during the evening. Before his arrest he had been in a fight with a colored man whom he punched in the back of the head while the colored man was not looking. The two had off their coats in a minute and Boletski went to the sidewalk with a stiff punch to the head. The crowd which was gathered on the side walk at the corner of Thames and West Main streets pulled the colorel man off. but Boletski went back at him and more blows were exchanged before 8 big moulder who is foreman in a foundry got hold of the fighters and pushed them apart. About that time the colored man decided it was time to leave and he ran off down Thames street, leaving his coat in the hands of a friend.

NEW HAVEN RECTOR
 AT UNITED SERVICE
Rev. George L. Paine of St. PauI's
 Church Breaches on The True Chris. tjan Life,

The True Christian Life was the theme of the sermon delivered at Trim tty Episcopal church on Thursday eve- ming by Rev. George l.. Paine, rector of St. PauPs church, New Haven. The service was the sixth of the united Lenten services being held by Trinity and Christ Episcopal churches and there was a good sized congrega- tion.
 The first lesson. taken from II Sam uel, was read by Rev. Richard R. Gra- ham, rector of Christ church, and as the second lesson he read a part of the first chapter of St. Luke Arch deacon J. Eldred Brown, rector of Trinity church, offered prayer.
 The text taken by Rev. MT. Paine was Galations 8: 9: Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith?'
 ITO the Hebrew. said MT. Paine. the end of history was moral. The Greeks. Syrians, Romans and Babylonians
 cared for other things, but the He establish his kingdom on earth. The Hebrews felt there was to be- some time, a kingdom over which God would rule. The Israelite had one conviction
 and that was that before God would send the Messiah 1t was necessary that
 the people recognize and live up to
 Gods law. If you follow the history
 of the Hebrews you will recognize that their great leaders laid down the fundamental principle that the Israel ties were separate people and that
 they must conf1ne themselves to the | carrying out of the holy law. The Jew | tried to keep the law and his whole | life came to be one of the most in- finite detail in order to expedite the coming of the kingdom through the keeping of the law. One of the most vigorous of these men who tried to thn-1 1nr ~q T0r | of Tarsus lived miserable life be- cause he realized he failed day by day
 It was impossible to keep all the laws | If he broke one. he knew how the law
 read. he was guilty of them all. When Paul realized that the Naz- | ology was overthrown. He began life l anew. God had not waited until the people kept the law: He sent His Sor to save them. Some asked Paul "Is the law then sin?' In answer Pau
 said, "The law Is essential In its way good and evil. The law has been the 1 schoolmaster to bring us to Christ That is the kind of gospel we wan | today. Many are satisfied with theil lives if they live an honest life Wt
 are satisfied to try to keep letter 4
 tian life is totally different from that | If Paul was dissatisfied with himsel we, in the 20th century, ought to real
 ize there is something different in tn,
 Christian life. In order to get clear
 CT understanding of the Christian If,
 we must study the epistles to the Ro
 man. Until a man lives in the spiri l of Jesus Christ he is no Christian ! Many do not go to church becaus' they think that all that is necessar. | is to keep the law. The religious com
 munity needs today a sense of tn,
 reality, the truth and the power o | God.

 held at Christ church and the preach 1 CT will be Rev. Alvin P. Knell, recto 1 of Trinity church, Brooklyn, Conn.
