NORWICH BOY POSTMASTER.
c. L. Storms Did the Honors at Tau Beta Pi Banquet-Richard w. Young Popular With Classmates.

At the initiation and banquet of the Massachusetts Alpha chapter of Tau Beta Pi. of Worcester Tech. C.. L. Storms of this city acted as toast master.
 Speaking of Richard wilfred Young. another Norwich boy and graduate of the N. F. A. the Tech News" says:
 There were very few who knew Richard when he first came to Tech. There are very few who do not know of the most popular fellows in the glorious Class of 1916.
 As a freshman. Richard did not ap- pear as a shining light above the head of his classmates. However. at the end of his first year at the 'Stute. he sat up nights designing one of those memorial old freshman post ers," for he was on the committee.
 During his sophomore year, Dick applied himself to Butterfield's Gale and Duff's Physics so strenuously that he was elected to Tau Beta Pi the next year. In our junior year we needed a good man for class secretary, so naturally Dick Young was elected both terms. Our Half Way Thru banquet and also Junior Prom were safely piloted through with friend Dick" at the helf of the respective | committees. Then just to show folks | that he was capable, he went out for | the Mandolin club and made it. We will all remember him sitting up there on the platform at the Musical Asso- citation concernt and dance plunking | away on a bano that was almost as | big as he was. At the end of the year he was taken into Skull" as a recognition of his services rendered to his Alma Mater.
 | Senior year found Dick almost stag -gering under the load of responsfbili- ties that was laid on his young | shoulders But the worth of the man was shown for he has. carried through | all of his undertakings with remark able success. Besides being class president of the Tech council during the first semester, he holds the posi- tion of business manager of the Aft ermath, that delightful compilation ot data which we all look forward tc just about commenceent time.
 It is amusing to say the least to sec the little man coming bustling into recitation with his little arms full ot big books. Some day we hope to sec
 him hustle into a good position in the
 big world outside of Tech where hC will always be remembered by us as
 our permanent class secretary.

STATE POLICE LOOKING
 FOR THOMAS BENANs
Paid Bills With Checks Drawn on Imaginary Accounts.

Thomas Bevans, who managed the automobile show held in Norwich re- gently, is sought by the state and New London police. Bevans issued a number of checks while in New Lon don and they have proven to be worth less.
 In engaging the New London arm ory for the snow Bevans agreed to a payment of S75 to the First company and a like amount to the Tenth. The checks he rendered in payment have come back tagged N. G.
 He paid for printing, team hire and several other details with checks which were drawn against imaginary deposits. Bevans did put a small amount on deposit but the checks he drew aggregated an amount many times that on deposit.
 When Bevans left he said he was going to a city nearby to run a show. 1t has since developed that he shipped his effects to an entirely different town from the one he said he was assumed name.
 Bevans' home is in New Bedford State Policeman Jackson was put on the case Tuesday afternoon
 Bevans looks to be about 30 years of age. He is a smooth talker and presents a businesslike appearance The fact that he conducted an auto show at Norwich before going to New London seemed to be a guarantee that the man was honest
 He had considerable difficulty in ob- taining the New London armory tC hold his show. At first he went tC Captain David Connor for permission but Captain Connor said that such 6 thing could not be granted. Finally MT. Bevans obtained permission from the adjutant's office at Hartford, pro. vided the show did not conflict witt the practice of the companies.

claim rejected by the state auditor.
This one was was not rejected. Is
Nh. Egan ignorant of the Law, or Is.
he bringing suit only for campaign
purposes? Why is he bringing it in
the wrong courts there a motive in
this?
MY political enemies have tried at
two different sessions of the legisla-
ture to get some member to introduce
a resolution directing the attorney
general to bring action for the recov-
cry Of this money. but they could not
find a single member out of the 149,
who was willing to do it. Even the
democrats refused to have anything
ito do with it.
This case is o like that concern
ing the well drilled at the state uni,
iversity at Vermillion a few years G
under the provision of the law passed
while | al a member of the legisla-
Eture. The state auditor raised this
technical point and refused us pay
ment for the well. which cost lis
100000, and he was sustained by the.
court. Certainly it is our firm that
is the loser and not the state. The
Taxpayers of this state are perfectly
willing to pay MS for the well. This.
well furnishes the only water supply
for fire and domestic. purposes that
the university has had for the last
five years. We could have removed at
least a part of the casing from the
we'll and saved some part of our loss,
Ebut we have not done so. feeling that
1T would be only a small benefit to us,
and would put the state TO an expense
Iof at least 100000 for another well.
Mr., Egan claims that the wells drill

p'uSt ouiC luOuSy. vi course, the state
could get other well drillers to do
this work, but it would cost more.
The contract for the state capitol
well was let to us at a public bidding,
the proposed work having been adver-
ltised in many papers of wide circula-
ton. Our bid was the lowest hy
labout 81 100000.
Mr.. Egan does not sue for the
whole amount of the well; he omits
the last payment of 1887. 90. presum-
ably because this was paid after II.
B. Anderson became state auditsr.
and, therefore, was a member OF the
state commission, which allowed Tie

BETTER THAN MACHINE

There is a great deal OF assumed

Chicago convention.

tial question" 1t may be that the
Burke crowd has designs on the

The Saturday News, some time ago.
printed a dispatch stating that Geo.
w. Egan had begun suit against the
firm of Norbeck & Nicholson, asking
that the firm be required to pay back
into the state treasury the sum re-
Iceived by it for sinking the artesian
Well on the grounds of the state cap
ltol. Inasmuch as the circumstances
surrounding the case have not been
fully understood by the people, and
since Mr.. Egan's attack upon Mr..
Norbeck has been printed in these
columns, Mr.. Norbeck's reply is Civ
en- in full:
! have at hand your letter of re-
cent date, and note from same that
MI. George w. Egan, in his speech at
Sioux Fails, charges that / received
s6.l7 a foot for drilling an ~artesian
well at the state capitol at Pierre,
whereas ! drilled wells for the city
of Pierre at $3.15 per foot. You sug-
gest that there must be an explain
alton for this. Yes, there is, and
will answer you fully.
Norheck & Nicholson drilled a well
at the state capitol for $6.17 per foot.
The am firm drilled some wells for
the city of Pierre at $500 per foot
(not $3.l5) and there is a reason foz,
the difference in price. The cost Of
wells is q great deal like the cost OF
houses. They are not all the same
price, 1t depends upon the cost OF
material and the cost of labor. A
large house costs more than a small
one "a contractor will build a house
for much less when the material is
furnished than when he has to furnish
the material himself, and the same is
true of artesian wells. Mr.. Egan
probably also knows this.
The well at the state CAPITOL is the
largest deep artesian well drilled in
this state. 1t has the heaviest and
most expensive casing of any well ia
the state. State Engineer Lea follow
ed h same plan in making speciRca-
lions for this well as he did for the
capitol building everything first
class.
have a stenosraphic report which
shows that Mr.. Egan in his Sioux
Falls speech claims that we drilled
this well in a week. As a matter of
fact, it took at least two weeks to set
up the rig, and about twenty weeks
to drill the well, but Mr.. Egan's state.
ment regarding this is about as near
correct as those he makes on other
matters.
The well was drilled at the capitol
for the purpose of securing water,
also gas for heat and light. The
thrilling of the well was a good bust.
ness proposition for the state. The
gas secured from this well since its
Icompletion has been WORTH many
times the cost of the we'll. The extra
Supply of gas not needed at the state
lcapitol building for heat or light has
in the meantime been sold to the CITY
OF Pierre for domestic consumption
at twenty-five cents per thousand feet
The proceeds from the sale of gas tc
the city has brought into the state
treasury s~S,1o2.29, prior to February
II, 1916. The income from the sale q

Peter Norbeck Tells About the Artesian Well Contracts

e=HHa& ~ Ht9FNEEsEE1& EIH
said that r. @. Richards Of Huron,
requested him as, follows presum-
ably over the telephone:
BE sure to tell your audience that
IL put down two wells here within
three years and they cost S3.05 per
foot"
Either Mr.. Richards was not tell
ing the truth, or Mr.. Egan was mis-
quoting him. Mr.. Richards has never
had a well as large as the state CAPT
tol we'll drilled at any time, nor has
he had any wells drilled in the last
three years. But our firm drilled two
|small wells for him about six years
ago, the cost of each being about
100000. 1t is possible that Mr.. Rich
ards was referring to some primary
law and not to artesian wells when he
talked to Mr.. Egan.
There is no foundation for the
charge made by Mr.. Egan and Mr..
Richards that this we'll was drilled in
violation of the law. When Mr.. Egan
brought suit TO compel the Norbeck
E& Nicholson company to pay back
into the state treasury $S230.46 for
the we'll he charged that it was done
in violation of chapter 10 article 5 OF
the constitution, which reads as fol
lows:
Nor shall any member Of the legis-
iatnre during the term for which he
shall have been elected, or Within
one year thereafter, be interested, di.
Irectly or i%ndfrectly in any contract
with the state Or any county thereof,
authorized by any law passed during
the term for which he shall have
been elected"
AS a matter of fact, the a%ppropria-
ton available for, this well was made
by the 1907 legislature. This was
two years before / became a.. member
of the legislature. Mote the word
ing OF the constitution,) The we'll at
the state capitol was not constructed
under any specific law, but under the
general power and authority of the
Estate capitol commission. This com
mission was authorized by the legis-
ilature of 1906, four years before / be-
tcame a member.
Mr.. Egan charges in his suit that
1.-TWO attorney generals have refused to
icomply with his demands to bring
faction against our firm for the money
paid for this well. | am informed
that the demands claimed to have
been made by Mr.. Egan have never
been made; therefore, there could
have been no refusal to bring action.
But it is not likely that any attorney
general would have started a suit of
this kind against anybody, for any
lawyer would know that it could not
be sustained in any court.
Mr.. Egan's suit, or prtended suit,
was commenced on the 22nd day of
January, 1916. 1t was brought in the
supreme court. Most every man who
reads and writes, knows that suits OF
this kind must be started in the cir
lcuit court and not in the supreme
court. Our attorneys promptly and
properly demurred to the complaint
and served the demurrers on Mt.
Egan more than two months ago.
Under the law. Mr.. Egan could have
brought the matter on for hearing
within ten days, but nothing has been
heard from him. A suit can be brought
in the supreme court only upon a
