P. Leroy Harwood, treasurer of the
Mariners Savings bank of New Lon
don, was confirmed as one of the two
permanent receivers of Groton Iron
Works by Judge Joel HI. Reed in the
superior court at New London Monday
afternoon Instead of e. 0. Cutler,
general manager of the works, who
had been appointed with Mr.. Harwood
as temporary receiver Frederick
Congdon of Boston was made the other
| permanent co-receiver with Mr.. Har-
wood.
Mr.. Consdon is a representative of
the United States Emergency Fleet
corporation. Judge Reed fixed the
bonds for the receivers at 100000,
which was the same as those furnished
| by the temporary receivers.
Mayor f. Frank Morgan and Law
renee A. Chappell, the latter an off :
cial of the Thames shipyard OF New
London, were appointed appraisers.
| Court came in at O'Clock for the
hearing on the appointment of per-
nanent receivers in the case of the

| torney Warren 3. Burrows, for the
plaintiff company, moved that Edwin
| Q. Cutler and P. Leroy Harwood, who
were appointed temporary receivers on
| March 20. be confirmed and that they
/ be appointed permanent receivers.
| Judge Reed inquired if there wac
anyone who wished to be heard upon
the matter and Attorney Frank l.. Nc
| CURE stated to the court that in his
opinion it should be shown that the
plaintiff in this action should show
| some equity existing in its favor when
it applied for the appointment of re-
ceivers. He declared that the United
! States Steamship Co. is a foreign cor
poration and that the court had nc
jurisdiction in the appointment.
! Attorney Marsh of Bridgeport an
nounced that he represented the Unit
cd States Emergency Fleet corporation
| with which the Groton Iron works is

WIN. DOUGHERTY, WELL KNOWN
HORSEMAN. is DEAD

Word was received here Monday
that William Dougherty. who was a
well known horseman here a score of
years ago, had died in the Hartford
hospital Monday morning. He was
about IS years old. He was widely
known among horsemen all over the
state.
Mr. Dougherty took care of e1-
Mayor f. L. Osgoods horses here for
many years and also drove a hack at
one time for the late Oliver II. Rey
nolds. He left here about Is years
ago and had been living in MoOdus,
where he had charge of the horses and
fancy stock kept by the late DR.. f. e.
Fowler, who died in New London
within the past two weeks.
He is survived by his wife and two
sons, who live in Hartford, and a
daughter who lives at Goodspeed' s
Landing. A sister of his who died a
number of years ago was the first wife
of John II, Clary Of this city.
Norwich bulletin., 1919-04-08

for that reason he desired to suggest
the name of Mr.. Congdon of Boston.
Mr.. Congdon is at present in charge
of the district office Of the corporation
with headquarters in Boston and this
position carried with it the general
mana gership for this part of the coun-
try. Mr.. Congdon not only has a gen.
eral knowledge of the shipbuilding in
dustry but a particular knowledge of
the plant at Groton
| He said that if Mr.. Congdon were
appointed he would. of course resign
his position with the fleet corporation.
! Mr.. Marsh said that he had no OBJ
lection to Mr. HARDWOOD being retained
| as a receiver and continuing in that
j capacity.
i Attorney Christopher L. Avery said
| that he represented the defendant
company and the two temporary re-
! ceivers and he felt if the Emergency
| Fleet corporation thought it desirable
that someone else should be appointed
| in place Of Mr.. Cutler. neither he nor
| Mr.. Cutler would stand in the way of
naming someone else. He realized that
! the success of the operation of the
yard depended largely nDon the Emer-
gency Fleet corporation,
| Attorney Hull said that in saying
what he was about to say he did not
wish TO be considered as criticizing
anyone, but he said that the court was
confronted by peculiar situation He
tdeclared that the Emergency Fleet
corporation occupied the place of a
secured creditor and that the attorneys
who had suggested the name of the
/ receivers represented the defendant
company. 1t had always been under
stood that neither the defendant COM
pany nor the secured creditors name
the receivers and that they do not have
the vital interest as do the unsecured
creditors in the result Of the outcome
of the receivership.
He said that his firm represented
more than 100000 of unsecured claims
and these were the persons to be taken
into account in the naming of rcceiv
ers Therefore he felt that somone
should be appointed who would have
I the interest of the unsecured creditors
He. however. had no suggestions tC
make.
An attorney representing the First
National bank of Boston, which is at
unsecured creditor for 100000; Attor-
ney John c. Geary, representing unsc-
cured creditors of $4,000; Attorney
Arthur 3. Calkins, representing unse-
cured creditors of about 100000; At
torney Philip u. Hankey, representing
unsecured creditors of $4,000; Attor-
ney Perry j. HollanderSky, represent
!. ing creditors of nearly $4,000, all fell
that the interests of their clients would

The Liberty Calendar

An organized effort is to be made
to improve our time calendar. The
American Equal Month Calendar AS
ISOLATION has been Incorporated by
fifty leading Minneapolis business and
professional men with that end in
view. The sole purpose of this org
aniZation will be the securing of a
change in the calendar so that all the
months shall be of exactly the same
length This is to be accomplished by
the adoption by congress of the Lib
erty calendar, which is very simple
modification of the calendar now in
use.
In this new calendar there are thir-
teen months of exactly four weeks
each, every month commencing with
Monday. In the construction of the
calendar only three slight changes
were made in the present Gregorian
form. They are as follows:
First, New Year day is made an in
dependent legal holiday. It is placed
between the last day of December
and the first day of January 1t is
not included in any week or month
Second, another Independent legal
holiday called Correction Day" is
provided for leap years. This is like
wise placed between tie last day of
one month and the first day of the
next 1t is not inluded in any week or
month.
Third, the remaining 964 days are
divided into thirteen months of exat
ly four weeks each
| The names of the months in this
new calendar are January, February.
| Liberty, March, etc. The use Of the
word Liberty will Americanize the
calendar at the same time it is made
more convenient. Under this new
! form all holidays and anniversaries wi
always fall on the same day of the
week. promissory note given for
any number of weeks months and
years will always come due on the
same day Of the week it was given
1t is claimed that the saving of time
and mental effort in making calcula-

tons for future dates will be beyond
all comprehension.
Furthermore. it viii cause saving
of nearly fifteen million dollars a year
in cost of printed and autographed
calendars as 10 printed calendars viii
be needed when this new form is
adopted It is estimated that the to
tai saving OF time and money will
equal fully fifty million dollars year
in this country acne.
The association viii also assist in
the organization of similar asSoc!a-
tons in ether countries and will
work for the adoption Of the reform
by ether nations also. If an lnteIna-
final Council is established the matter
will be brought before that body.
Since neither the number nor the
length of our present months Is gov
erned by changes of the moon or by
any Of natures laws, it is claimed
that the change to the new form can
be made very easily.
Tho plan also provides that Easter
| Sunday and Good Friday shall be
| placed on rertaiil fixed dates Il IS
/ explained that TIC setting of these on
| fixed dates vas considered at the time

| The placing Of these on fixed dates
