meter at ASA Arch street was s1.5o short. The woman in the house described a man there previously as the man arrested yesterday. Mrs. Riker. the woman, picked out Picula in court as looking like the man who came to her house couple of days before the meter theft was discov- cred. .... -#.s..-
 Pressed to identify Picula Mrs. Riker refused saying that she only wanted to take the blame off her own shoulders as she didn't want it thought that she did 1t. She would only say that she saw a man like Picula come to her house to look at the rent. ... ...
 During the trial 1t was brought out that the meter at the house at 75 Clark street. owned by Lawyer Levitt himself, has also been tempered with and Picula is suspected of that crime as we'll. .. .....
 On the stand, Picula said he was looking for a cheap rent when he went to the Pleasant street house. The states case was very weak throughout as 1t did not connect Pi- cuIa definitely with the actual theft of any meters. especially since no quarters were found on him when arr rested and Mir Erickson testified that the accused had no opportunity to change a quarter so the court dis charged him.

BATH ANNIVERSARY OF CHARLESTON TRIP
Survivors Of Company D, First Regiment, Recall Journey South

Thirty-four years ago today Com pany D, First regiment, c. N. G. or this city was in Charleston, South Carolina, on pleasure bent. In fact the entire regiment was there and the Boys in Blue were given a royal reception by the folks who not so many years pre- viously aimed at their determination.
 The regiment left New Haven to attend the celebration in Yorktown in comm emoration of the centennial of the fall of that place to the American army In all there were about 120 New Britain men aboard the ship and they passed through perils that re- main in their memories even today On account of a fog the captain of the ship delayed his departure from New Haven ,harbor and when the boat did reach the sound the water was so rough that the captain decided not to venture the trip between Long Island and the coast. He proceeded to take an outward passage. The ship ran ln- to the teeth of the gale and the regl- ment was given up for lost. Ihose were the days before the wireless was even thought of and the ship ana reg iment were thought to have been oe- stroyed by the storm. Fortunately, the ship weathered the gale ana the First Regiment marched proudly into Yorktown, twenty-four hours late Tor the celebration but in time to Tall in line in the parade that concluded the exercies. The Connecticut men were wildly cheered when it was discovered that they had escaped the jaws of the sea and on all sides they were &C., climed as heroes s..s
 After the Yorktown celebration the First Regiment accepted an invita- tion to go to Charleston. Many prom inent New Britain men were among tourists. Rev. Dr. J. w. Cooper, pas tor of the South Congregational church was chaplain of the regiment Angus tus N. Bennett was captain, William (Cap) Allen was first lieutenant and John Bingham was second lieutenant
 Austin N. Bennett, son of Captain Bennett and then private in Company D, walked in on City Clerk A. L. today ana reminded him of the fact that this was the thirty fourth anniversary Of the visit to Charleston. As City Clerk Thompson was in Company D al that time the fact was of great interest to him. MT. Bennett produced a worn document which he had found among his fathers effects and which proved to be a poem written by one Lieutenant M. Quinlivan, a member of the Irish of Charleston and dedi- cated to Company D. The poem fol- lows: a........- -. Forget it mot dear Boys in Blue
 Although we wore the Gray With loving hearts we welcome you
 To our old home today.
 Tis true on many a well fought held
 Our sons and brothers bled
 Today, thank God, above their graves
 Our kindred tears arc shed.
 Let wars rude blast no man disturb
 This Eden of the world.
 May the Stars and Stripes above,
 our heads 4s4..
 Forever be unfurled -N We will guard it well, that banner
 bright,
 And pledge ourselves anew
 That side by side in it's defense
 Will stand the Gray and Blue

or four years ago will recall the long
series of articles on moral and re-
ligious subjects that appeared in the
the News at that time from the pen
of the above named writer. They
were written and published for the
sole purpose of doing good and with
out the slightest reference to finan-
cial gain.
Those who read those articles with
interest will be pleased to learn that
the writer has published book bear

and for the same purpose. If the
writer were able to do so he would

pride of the English army at Lexing-
ton in ITS, and some second class
American boats wiped out two
Spanish fleets with the loss but a
single man in 1898. One day, about
the time the Spanish-American war
broke out, the writer was talking
with a former naval man in Phila-
delphia, and he said with tears in
his eyes that he hated to see the
American fleet pitted against the
Spanish, because it had no chance.
He was patriot and had actually
been upon the Spanish men-of-war
that the Americans were to meet
but how far he missed his prediction
we all know.
No sane man wants war; but no
sane man is going to sit idly at home
playing tiddledewinks or reading
Bill Bryan's essays on peace if an
enemy attempts to invade our coun-
try. 1t is worthy of note that we
have a few things with which to
repel an invader:
The second largest naval fleet in
the world, and one that can whip
anything afloat; twenty million OF
able men, the most ignorant of whom
is greater man than any king OIL
emperor in Europe; the mightiest
guns in the world in our forts
greater resources than all the othel
notions of the world combined; and
a people who have never been mol
never will be licked"
If greater preparedness is needed
we prefer to take Representative
Kitchin's word in the House to Wood
row Wilson's in the White House.
