WOMAN BITTEN-DOC SHOT
Animal Attacked Mrs. Julia Bayei
 Without Warning

North Ashford By order of Se- lectman Archa Walker hunting dog owned by Louis Catcher, wood chopper employed on the estate of George H. Myers, was shot on Mon- day by Dog Warden Caro P. Latham of Phoenixville. The head was sent to the state laboratory to have 1t de- termined if the animal was suffering from rabies.
 The dog bit Mrs. Julia Bayer, March 29th, as she was passing shanty oc- cupied by Catcher. The woman was passing along the highway when, with out warning, the animal came up be- hind her and bit her in the calf of the leg, the dogs teeth penetrating the flesh. Mrs. Bayer has since been suf- fering a great deal of pain from the wound and has been under a doctor s care.
 The dog warden was notified of the occurrence and told the owner of the dog that it would have to be killed. When the selectman learned Monday that the dog had not been put out of the way he summoned the dog warden and the animal was shot and the head sent away for analysis.

QUESTION ARISES FIRST TIME
March Term of Superior Court Ad
 journ. Without Day

The superior court, which has been in session in Putnam since the first Tuesday in March, adjourned Tuesday morning without day.
 The case of Waldo Tillinghast Sons of Plainfield vs the N. Y., N. H. X H. railroad, was down for trial. There was no hearing, but Judge Webb al- lowed the plaintiffs motion to cite in the representative of the U. $. gov ernment appointed since the railroads were returned to private ownership.
 The claim against the railroad is one for ties furnished while the road was in control of the government. The attorney for the railroad com pany argued that the private corpora tion was not liable for claims grow ing out of contracts made by the gov ernment and that when the road was returned to the private corporation a federal agent was appointed and a fund created and that the government granted all claimants permission to sue such agent, any judgments se- cured to be paid from the fund.
 While the attorney for the plaintiff did not concede that the private cor poration was not liable, he did ask to make the government appointed agent a party defendant
 This was the first time that such a question has arisen in the Windham County,

SEES DEATH BY ROPE
 HANGS HIMSELF
Scene of Killing In Movie Is Thought To Have Affected
 Boys Mind
Mrs. Thomas Hepburn, Lads Mother,
 We'll Known In This City

Thomas, fifteen-year old son of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Hepburn of Hartford, hanged himself with sheet at the home of his aunt in New York City, Sunday, after he had witnessed motion picture in which a hanging was depicted.
 Mrs. Hepburn, the boys mother, is we'll known in Putnam, where she ire quently appeared in woman's suffrage campaigns as a public speaker.
 According to relatives of the lad, he was depressed by the picture, and commented on the horror of it, but he was believed to have recovered entire ly from the effect it had made on his mind because on the following day, Saturday, he accompanied an uncle in seeing the sights of New York, visited the Woolworth tower, and in the eve ming played a banjo and sang with his aunt, Mrs. Fowl, and sister, who had arrived from Hartford on Thursday to visit with him at his aunt's home.
 The body was found by sister hanging from a rafter in the upper floor of the house when she went to arouse him Sunday morning. The girl was unable to obtain an answer from her brother and summoned her aunt, who assisted her in forcing the door. There was no trace of life left in the body. Dr. Condy, of St. Vim cents Hospital, said life had been ex- tinct for some hours when the body was found.
 According to members of the fam fly the boy retired at 10 o'clock Sat urday night in a cheerful frame of mind.
 Dr. Hepburn and his wife, Mrs. Katherine Houghton Hepburn, we'll known suffrage worker, started for New York from Hartford as soon as they were notified of the tragedy. Dr. Hepburn explained that while his son had suffered from a nervous ailment he was perfectly normal schoolboy, athletic and ambitious.
 "God knows why he did it." said the doctor-"God alone knows why
 The boys mother was for years president of the Connecticut Woman's Suffrage Association.

BUILDING
 OF NEW BRICK BLOCK

High building costs will indefinitely delay the construction of the brick business block that was to have been erected on Elm street this spring by Wolfe & Kaminsky. The lowest bid that has been obtained for the struc- ture is $49,0O0, and on this basis of cost it would be impossible for the men interested to get anywhere near an adequate return on their invest ment. It was intended that the build ing be completed by June, but this idea has been entirely abandoned and more favorable prices on material and other costs will be awaited.

LAWYER PREDICTS A COLD
 SUMMER SEASON THIS YEAR

Lawyers know about everything. Down in Norwich one has turned weather prophet and has come out with an argument to show that the summer is to be cool one because the wind will be in the northwest most of the time.
 Keep your eye on this" he said. "The wind was in the northwest when the sun crossed the line on March 2lst and that is sign that northwest winds will prevail this summer. That means a cold season.

Nm. s. Breluer Is Sentenced
 To Federal Prison, Ahanta
round Guilty of Using Mails To Defraud In Service Mems
 League
Asents Came To Putnam In Uniform
 Selling Magazine

Tn the dlStrleJ court or NeW Ork, Monday, William S. Brewer was found uuilty on all six counts of an indict- mont charging the use of the mails to defraud. in connection with the ex- Service Mems Cooperative League and the sale of periodicals by mem- bers of the league. He was sentenced to eighteen months in the Atlanta penftentiary. His counsel said he would appeal the case.
 Last summer an automobile in charge of men in the U. S. uniform arrived in Putnam. The car was dec orated with banners inscribed, Fun In France" A crowd soon collected and the men in charge of the outfit began to sell magazines. The car left Putnam and went to Willimantic, where the men were arrested for do- ing business while wearing the army uniform. The men were arraigned in the district court at Hartford and warned.
 Brewer was arretsed on allegations that his schemes were used to defraud. Brewer published two periodicals, "The Gold and Blue Star and .tFun In France" and sold them in various places by means of agents on the all legged plea that the receipts were to be used to help men who had seen war service.
 It is also charged that he solicited contributions from many public men, among them being Woodrow Wilson, Vice President Coolidge and Colonel Arthur Woods. It is alleged the de- fendant collected about S53, 1000 through the sale of the two publica- tions and by contributions, practically all of such fund going into his own pocket.
 Brewer testified that about 30,000 persons had joined the league at fees ranging from 20 cents to $1.50. Each membber got a card giving him the benefit of whatever reduction in pric- es merchants made for the benefit of ex-soldiers.
 Brewer stated that storekeepers in various parts of the country had agreed to grant discounts to men who had served in the war. Lists contain ing the names and addresses of these persons went with each membership card. Asked to explain why the men employed by him to sell his publica- tions wore regulation army uniforms, he replied that in each case he inquir- ed concerning the uniform each man could legally wear and warned him to adhere to it.
 Replying to the question why he had bought three houses in the name of his bookkeeper, Miss Lillian E. Schuer, he said that it was merely for convenience's sake; that he had bor- rowed some money in New Jersey and he wanted protection for time. These debts, he stated, had been discharged.
 In reply to a question by Judge Knox, Brewer said that it was under stood in the early days of the league that he was to furnish the money to set it afoat and was to reimburse himself from the revenues, but there was always a debit balance. He de- seribed several instances where he had helped ex-service men by advances of money.

When the effects are calculated to be
so sweeping, comparative statistics de-
timing the new and old conditions, and
also the extent Of trade will be of liz.
terest Where the Fordney bill hits
Canada most forcibly is in its radical
departure from the terms of the Under
wood bill, in which many items were
either free in the first instance or au-
tomatically became so by the reciprocal
act of making such commodities free
here. Otherwise, the duty was very
low. In the new bill duties are i'm
posed which can hardly be called nomi-
nal. In most cases they are so high
as to operate as an effective en-
barge against continuance of exports
on any basis Of profit.
The outstanding effects, as being
worked out here, are Of interest, the
