Salisbury and His Knife
From the Dover State sentinel)

That Senator Salisbury does not
approve of the old Biblical teaching
Of Love thine enemies, has been
proven upon numerous occasions. All
who have at any time opposed him,
be they Republicans or Democrats,
are in for a very solid reminder Of his
power and enmty
Though a peace has apparently
been patched up between the Sauls-
bury and anti-Saulsbury clans of the
Democratic Party in Kent, the Sena-
tor still holds his knife unsheathed
and his club ready 70 hand. At no
time has he honestly forgiven the an
ti-Saulsbury faction in Dover The
latest victim of his wrath is Michael
Soanlon. whose forced removal from
the position of janitor of the Dover
postoffice has caused quite a little
comment.
Our present postmaster very reluc-
family asked for Mr.. Scanion's res
ignation-for he has admitted that
Scanlon was a very able and effici-

is "Saulsbury's man''-and when his

That Scanlon filled his Office with
more ability and loyalty than any

The fantastic costumes attracted much attention, as the bril- liant hues of red and green met the eye, but most of all was the nOticea- ble feature that more than one man was required to control the monster ringed animal.
 The novelty was greatly appreciated by the younger element and served well to attract attention of the older people.

NEW hRMORY IN x BRIDGEPORT MAY
 SOON BE ASKED
Housing Problem Facing Miii- tiamen-NEay Get Addition
 to Structure.

Where to house the new company of
 the Connecticut Coast Artillery corps
 if a new company is formed, is
 problem that is. confronting Lieut.-Col Vincent M. King and Major Louis J. Hermann, commanding officers of the local corps and in charge of the state armOry in Main street.
 Either there must be addition
 built on the armory a new armo must be built for the exclusive use of the Naval Reserves. The latter pro- ject has been discussed among the To-
 cal militia officers and an effort has been made to have such 9 building located near the water front. This matter will be taken before the next meeting of the general assembly. At present each room arranged in the armory for 9 company parlor- IS occupied. The Second company Occu- pies a parlor in the east end of the armory over the new part and above the gun pits. The Naval Reserves
 have also 9 par1or and equipment room
 on the same side of the armory. The
 Fourth company has the parlor for
 merly occupied by old Company of the Fourth Infantry, and this same company has an equipment room which takes up part of the equipment
 room formerly used by old Company E.. The Medical corps uses the par1oF> that Company B had. Its equipment
 
 Company B parlor.
 Up stairs in the west end of the ar
 nory is the headquarters room. The band room has been moved to the third story of the armory where the janitor's quarters are. In the cellar i a recreation room has been made, and also in this section of the building are rooms devoted for the storing of the shelter halves and other equipment which is used only when the militia men are on active service.
 For several years the commanding officers of the local corps have been endeavoring to induce the legislature to buy the Hughes pfoperty in Lun- ber street and the property of Walter Stapleton at Housatonic avenue and Lumber street, to build an extension on the armory south to Lumber street. Such a proposition was before the legislature two years ago but the mill itary committee would not endorse it.
 This year the military committee
 turned down bill providing s2,o0o for
 a new floor for the local armcry.
 It had been proposed that when the
 new artillery company was formed
 that it's members be allowed the equipment room and parlor now occu- pied by the Naval Reserves at the west end of the armory and that the Naval Reserves place their equipment in their large room in the cellar and
 use the armory floor for drill purposes only and their rooms in the old Green house at the foot of Seaview' avenue
 for recreation purposes.
 The Naval Reserves< have been
 forced to vacate the Green house, however, and the house is now being
 used as a. lodging house for men en1- ployed on the buildings of the addi- tions to the Lake Torpedo Boat Co.
 factory.

PROBATE JUDGES WON'T YIELD RIGHTS, THEY
 DECIDE AT ASSEMBLY

The Connecticut Probate Assembly, at it's quarterly meeting yesterday in the Hartford probate court room, took the attitude that the judges of the probate courts of Connecticut would yield their judicial prerequisites to none and, in conflict with the attorney general and tax commissioner of the state. would abide by their own opin- ions.
 The expression was made when a motion was made to appoint a com mittee to confer with the tax com missioner concerning disputed points in the new inheritance tax law, which was defeated. The judges said that they were capable of deciding the law for themselves and would be bound by no ruling of the tax commission CT. or the attorney general.
