while Cherry, Battle, Kimball and one
other twirled in vain Tor the Dough

Lester Roger Burdiek
 - - Old and Respected Resident Comes to End of Life's
 Journey

In the passing of Lester Roger Bur dick, yesterday, at St. Vincents hos residents of the East Side. was re- Heved from the worries of this life. He had been in the hospital for about two weeks. Death was due to the failing health for the past few years.
 MT. Burdick was of the old rugged Yankee stock, his ancestors having come to this country in 1920, and later formed part of the Roger Will hams colony which settled in Rhode Island. He was a native of WeSter- ly, R. l., born Dee. 3. 1850.
 As young man he became an ex- pert in the meat business, and was one of the most proficient market men in his home town He came to these parts about 45 years ago, and made his home first in that section of East Bridgeport which was then West Stratford, which. comprised the terri tory west of the Yellow Mill river to the Stratford town line. He mar ried here, and shortly after the family moved across the pond to the East Side, taking u< their residence in East Main street near Nichols street. For upwards of 40 years he became one of the best known and respected citizens of the section. Af- ter retiring a marketman he be- came janftor of the Nichols street school. which position he illed for several years.
 Since the death of his wife six years ago, MT. Burdick has lived a quiet and peaceful life with his daughter, Louise M, wife of Robert Smith, the we'll known clothing salesman of 3S Cur tis street. The oldest son, Albert w. Burdick, made his home with him.
 MT. Burdick was affiliated with no fraterna1 organizations, preferring to devote all his leisure time to his wife and children, leading a most exem- plary life, He was splendid speci- men of that type of citizenship whose passing means a distinct loss to the community.
 Surviving him are his three chill dren. Mrs. Robert Smith, Albert W. and Lester c. Burdick. The funeral will be held on Monday, July IS, at p. m. from his late home, 3S Curtis street.

Mexico City, July 16.---War office authorities declared last night that the uprising in the state of Tamaul- pas, led by General Daniel Marines -Herrerra, would be zJuS down ia little more than a week. It was declared federal troops were being dispatched into the troubled district and that the danger would soon be over.

LONDON PAYS HONORS TO CANADA'S PREMIER

London, July 16.---Artf1ur Meighen, the Canadian Prime Minister, received the freedom of the City of London yesterday. Until recently MT. Mel ghen's name was little known to the British public, although he made great impression on those with whom he came in contact when in 1918 he represented Canada in the Imperial War Cabinet. Many editorial tributes are being paid to him by the London press
 The Daily Chronicle says:
 "If the future peace of the world and the progress of civilization de pend, as we think they do, upon a close mutual understanding between the United States and the British Elm pire, then Canada has a very special part to play in procuring it She is Jason State, sharing at once in the British and in the American outlook and seemingly placed and equipped by Providence for the very purpose of harmonizing them. For that req son her voice in the Empires cot1n- cils is bound to carry new and pecu- liar weight, and it is well that, as on many notable past occasions, she should now be represented by leader of outstanding individual ability.

 Few are familiar with the facts concerning the origin of the word Ash Creek It has just come to light through the transfer of property to Howard P. Gray. In reviewing the history of the land, which is fertile in anecdote and tradition, old time Fairfield and Black Rock resid ents will recall that next to Black Rock, Ash Creek, so-called from the fact that great lye producing ash pits were maintained there for the origi- nal soap works of New England was a big port in this section
 Barks and Barkentines brought all the products of the West Indies, par ticularly rum, for trade in flour. On both sides of the minor tributary flowing into Ash Creek on the Fair field side were big flour mills running at times both day and night There was a trading colony there that afterwards divided and dwind1ed into the shipment of produce to New York and later became extinct.
 The ash pits which gave the name Ash Creek were abandoned when the soap works were removed to Nor walk but the flour mills continued until early in the last century when they also were allowed to decline. Even now the big dam that once
