Negotiations for the liberation of Spanish prisoners taken by the Moors are proceeding. Gen. Navarro's free dom is especially sought. but the Moors are demanding large sum for his ran- som.

RESOLUTION FOR LIBBY $ LAID ON
 TABLE WHEN PRESENTED IN HOUSE

and Governor Lake at the Chamber of Commerce banquet told us that Norwich was the cleanest city in the state.
 When the Houor cases were present. ed before me they were convicted and given the highest fines that our court could give and for the second .offense they were given jail sentences. Upon the appeal to the criminal court of common pleas the jail sentences were dropped upon payment of fines. At the time they were presented the question arose as to the right of the federal authorities to try them again for the same offense. When the assistant United States at torney, Mir. Cohen, of Hartford. came here to talk the matter over with the U. s. commissioner, the hearings were held in my court room I appeared not as attorney for the liquor men but sim ply to get the opinion of the U. S., at torney as to whether or not he held that he had right to try them again for the same offense, as the U. s. court in Washington had just held that they did not have that right.
 The other matters contained in the statement ara as I have said hearsay and were not presented before the com nfittee; but in addition they are abso- lute,y false. For. over ten or more years I have been connected with the city court of Norwich and during that time l nave tried to do my duty and am will ing to rest on the records of that court. I have no i'll will toward any man, but r it is difficult to answer persons who stah you in the back with no chance to re- ply.
 T trust this matter may have no bear ing on the city elections as I am old enough in politics to fight my own bat ties and they will be fought clean"

PROPOSED CHARTER REVISION
 IS QUESTION FOR VOTERS

With election day but five days away there is considerable interest in the pro- posed charter revision. Next Monday the voters of the city will register their approval or disapproval of the pro- posed appointment of a charter eommis- sion whose duties will be to prepare a new charter for the city and to submit the new charter to the voters at the next city meeting in June 1922. At that time the voters of the city will either adopt or reject the new charter.
 The movement for new charter start ed some months ago when it was pointed out by Mayor Herbert NJ. Lerou that the present charter is so incumbered with amendments that it's real value has been practically lost. If the vote on
 the question next Monday results in fa- vor of the appointment of the charter commission, the commission when ap- pointed will draft the new charter, using the present charter as the basis of the new instrument A number of the use | less amendments will be dropped and new and badly needed features will be included in the new charter. After the new charter has been drafted it will be
 submitted in full to the citizens of the | city, through the press or some other i form of publicity after which it will be voted upon on election day next June.

 No matter whether you are troubled with . poor complexion, wrinkles. puff finess around the eyes. crows feet or lines around mouth, or just q simple rouehness of the face, hands or arms caused by wind or sun, you will find that these troubles will quickly disap- pear with the use of Towards Butter milk Cream.

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence
 Over Rheumatism

Mir James H. Allen suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work.
 He finally decided. after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the ac- rumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved. in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body.
 With this idea in mind, he consulted physicians made experiments and final ly compounded prescription that quickly and completely banished every sgn and symptom of rheumatism from h.s system.
 He freely gave his discovery to others who took it. with what might be called marvellous success. .&;ter years of urging, he decided to les srf- >erers everywhere know about his dis covery through the newspapers. Lee X Osgood Company has been appointed agents fer Allenrhu in this vicinity with the understanding that they will freely return the purchase money to all who state they received no benefit.
