Thinks Present Deer Law Should Be
 Repealed
Superintendent Champion BIames Torrey
 Case for Slaughter

Superintendent John NJ. Champion says that the decision in the eTorrey7 case has handicapped his department in the enforcement of the deer law.
 The statement came from the fact that man named Frederick S. Chase wrote the Connecticut Fish and Game Protective Association, asking what it was doing in the way of endeavorlng to change the present deer law, which he regarded as cruel and barbarous and which had resulted in the killing or maiming, and dying by starvation, of apparently nearly all of the deer that there were in the state. "Few things, he said, "have given me keener pleasure than seeing the deer now and then on my place in Middle bury and in the surrounding country. IL seems a most unfortunate result of the law which should practically ex- terminated them. If men must shoot them it would seem far better to use a rifle than a shotgun, which results  in their being attacked by dogs, after being wounded or dying from hunger. y
 This letter was answered by MT Champion who said he agreed with Mir. Chase in every particular, but that "the commission is doing abso- lutely nothing to prevent the deer be. ing eXterminated, and my individual opinion is that the law should never have been passed
 He added that the work of protect. ing the deer under this law was inef- fectual and called attention to re- cent interpretation of the law by Judge Gardiner Greene in the Torrey case, which, he says, "of course put a stop to any action that might have been taken by this commission. It was that decision that caused a slaugh- ter throughout the state. l am in hopes that at the next session of the legislature that matter will be thresh- ed out, and l would be delighted to have you appear before the commit tee

Will Be a Good Apple Crop

Everett F. Brown of Pomfret, the apple king of Windham county, and an authority on growing the fruit, said Saturday that in his opinion there would be a good crop of apples this year. "The apples have set well, 7 said MT. Brown. "At first thought the fruit was going to be of better and larger quality than usual but now I don | think this is so. The crop will be good however: 1 have noticed that the apples are dropping from the trees somewhat and so are the leaves, but not enough to do any great damage or to cause any great depreciation. As to the market don't think 1t will be of the best. Freight rates have doubled and there is not money on the other side to buy luxuries with. If there is any export business at all it will be light. This will throw the bulk of the crop back on the domestic arket and will tend to depreciate the price. Peach growers in this section also state that there will be an abundance of that fruit this year. Already the berry pickers are in the fields and report that that kind of fruit is plenty.

 Since last week we have learned that Prosper Vegiard, delegate from Putnam lodge, and sheriff Gates Of Willimantic, shook the hand of the fa- nous captain Of the under sea craft.
 The captain was in the hotel lobby when Mir Vegiard and the sheriff en- tered. The latter said, "Let's shake the hand of the grittiest little captain afioat, and they did so.
 The captain is a small man. He speaks English well but of course with a German accent. As the Windham county men shook his lhand he said that there were many interesting ex- periences on the trip across. There was a crowd around the captain all eager to grasp his hand and he was kept busy answering questions.

Girl from Home of Good Shepherd Lo'
 cated Here

Captain Joseph Ryan located En- ma Phillips, wanted by the Home of the Good shepherd, Hartford, for talk ing French leave. The girl was at the home of her step mother in the north end of the city. No disposition has been made of the case as yet. The Phillips girl was committed from the Putnam city court about three years ago for being in danger of falling into habits of vice. The girl charged her father with a serious offence and after he was bound over to the superior court she admitted that she lied.
 It is understood that the girl would have been paroled this month but whether this new feature will change the situation has not been decided. Her step-mother wants her at home as she needs her services.

License Required for Motor Attachments

Captain Of police Joseph Ryan Is af- ter those offenders Of the motor vehicle laws who ride bicycles with motor wheel attachments and fail to have regular automobile registration. Sat urday morning he spoke to boy with one of the machines. The boy said he borrowed the vehicle and the captain allowed him to go. The wheel be- longed to John Gill, River road.
 The motor wheel attachments re- quire regular automobile registration because there are three wheels on the ground. This was determined when Mahlon III. GeissIer was judge of the city court. At that time he wrote Sec retary of State Burns and the latter handed down the decision.

Looking for Henry Page
Whereabouts of Insane Man Not Known

Keeper William Roberts, of the staff of the State Hospital for the Insane at Norwich, was in this city Friday af- ternoon making search for Henry Page, who escaped from the institu- ton a few days ago and who was in this city Monday of this week, calling upon relatives
 Keeper Roberts quest here was un- successful, as far as locating Page was concerned. | is probable that Page is many miles from here. He made the statement while talking with rela- tives here .that they would never get him, "theyp being the hospital author ities CT officers who might be sent out to search for him, because he was go- ing to make direct for Worcester with the idea of getting out of the country and into Canada.
 Page is husky only 2S years of age. Excepting on one subject, he is appar- ently rational, and in letters written to a member of the local police force while he was confined at the state in- stitution at Norwich he has repeated ly set forth that he wanted to be re- leased so that he could get out and earn his S4 or 5 day, as is being done by thousands of workmen.
 Page is said to have an obsession for women and it is predicted that the next heard relative to him will be in eonnecl lion with an assault upon some member of that sex. He is said to have attacked nurses at the hospital. Nothing has been seen iof Page in Putnam since the first of last, week, so it is assumed that he has carried out his intention to get into Canada, where he figures he will be safe from pursuit. George Ledoux, another patient who was sent from this city to the same in- stitution near Norwich about four years ago is regarded there, Captain Ryan of the local police is informed, as violent and is kept confined to his bed. He is one of the most powerful men | ever committed to the hospital and in his state of mind is regarded as dan- gerous.

They lit the candle and were throwing il up in the air and catching it. The last time it fell Be- noit failed to catch it and it struck him setting his thin cotton blouse on fire. Bonneville tried to extinguish the blaze but couldn't, so the two boys set up .cry that attracted the atten- ton of people in the vicinity.

MT. kel. ley says he does not remember wheth- CT he used the blanket or not, but he cut the boys blouse away with a pair of scissors. pr. E. + Perry was sum- moned, and EdwBrd MeGee took the boy to the hospital in an automobile It was found that the left arm from the elbow to the shoulder was burned and also the chest.

New Houses Nearing Completion

The roof has been put on the last of the eight doube-tenement houses that are being erected by the Manhasset Manufacturing Company for the hous- ing of their help. The finishing of the interior will be rushed and they will be ready for occupancy very soon. This company manufactures cotton auto mobile tire duck and since the ma- chinery was first started three years ago the plant has run almost eontin- ually night and day. Besides this the floor space has been sdoubIed by two large additions. When the company were confronted with the necessity of homes for their help they did not wait for outsiders to help them out but took the matter up themselves Eight doubIe-tenement houses were bought from concern in the Middle West and were shipped to Putnam ready to be put up. The Wheaton Building & Lumber Company were engaged to set up the houses and they have been working a month on the job. Every thing from the heaviest rafters down 10 nails, window glass, plaster and putty came and when completed every detsiI will be in place and the houses will be painted, all bought ready made and put together.
