$500 from the fund to compensate him for his first months work since the board voted on his salary rsolution. He noti- fled the executive committee of the le- zion at meeting Friday night in Bridge port that he would continue to draw the money.~-The legion men responsible for the injunction proceedings said yesterday that theyp referred not to have their identity disclosed until the action was actually instituted. They are taxpayers as weM as members of the legion.
 Comptroller Harvey P Bisselps posi- tions that the to 1 vote of the board o control in favor of the Butterworth sal ary resolution did not authorize him draw the money in view of the statutory requirement that afi9ropriations cannot be voted by the board of control without the written consent of each member, is that taken by the men behind the injunc- tion move
 Whether Attorney General Frank E. Healy will take part in the suit is a matter of conjecture. The state will not be a party to it unless the attorney gene ral feels it his duty to defend Butter worth. In view of the fact that he is understood to have advised Butterworth to draw the mcney, notwithstanding the lack of unanimous vote. ButterWorth may call upon him for assistance.

SLATER HALL PORTRAITS
 DESCRIBED BY F. I. HEAVENS

23.s In the list of portraits hanging in Slater hall and described by the late Francis J. Leavens, that standing ,23d in the list is the likeness of JOHN DUN HAM He was born Sept 2S, 1900. in Norwich, his father owning a large farm in the vicinity of the present ThamesvilIe where the son passed the early years of his life. (Dunham street. which stretch es -easterly from West Thames street. is reminder of this farm)
 His father dying. John Durham was left in charge of the farm when only about 12 years of age, and it WAS under his care for several years. He then en- gagcd in the printing business, learning his trade at the printing house connected with The Norwich Cour;er-the present semi-weellly edition of The Bulletin which was founded in 1797.
 At the age of g, in company with Thomas Robinson. John Durham pur- chased The Courier from Roswell Hub bard, and soon after he bought out MT. Robinson's interests and became sole cd itor and proprietor of the paper Under MT. Dunhams management it gained a wide reputation for it's recognized ability in collecting news, which was done by messengers, requiring energy and speed, also for it's able discussion of the topics of the times
 In 1S42 Mir Durham sold the paper to D. M. Sykes and the jobbing office to William D. Manning few years later After his 20 years service in newspaper work Mir. Durham held various offices of honor and trust. He was elected mayor of the city. which office he held for two years. In 1S49 he was appointed post master, being the sixth to hold that of fee after the city was named Norwich and retaining the office for four years Twice he was elected to the legislature and once served one session in the state senate His .uprightness and worthy bearing won him the title at the state capitol of Honest John Durham" Al one time he held the office of bank com missiopr, at another he was comptrolle, of he state.

Declaring that Christmas has become one of our most dangerous holidays due to the use of highly infamable ever green trees and decorations in hnoes and elsewhere Chief Howard l.. Stanton Of the local, fire department on Monday is- sued statement urging the public to he more careful in it's holiday celebration this year.
 "This is a season of the year" said Chief Stanton. that should be an occa- sion of universal cheer but unfortunate Iy it becomes a time of tragedy In many households because of death or serious injury by fire. People decorate their homes with tinder-like trees and other erargreens and they frequently become ig-ited with serious results. Usually the fires that occur are due to the use Of candles as illuminants. although sometimes fimsy electric light assemblies ara at fault
 According to record kept by Tne National Board of Fire Underwriters the service organization of the stock fire insurance companies, about one in every ten Christmas fires results in fatal ity
 "Tt may be mentioned too that fire in guranca nrotection may be voided by the introduction of hazardous Yuletide prac- tices not specifically covered in policies, which supplies an additional reason for carefulness.
 "Tn order to illustrate how many Christmas fires occur. a case in an east ern city may be cited. In this instance woman climbed upon a chair to light the ca andles of a large Christmas tree and in doing so accidentally touched her liehted match to an ornamental paper chain. which fared up and ignited other decorations When she tried to snatch the burning material from the branches, she lost her balance and pushed the tree ! over Her dress caught fire aol she succun5ed to the flames a few hours ] later.
 I've ought to make Christmas fire proof in Norwich and I strongly urge i the public to observe the following pre- | cautions in homes, stores and else ! where:
 If a Christmas tree is used, make | sure that it is securely set up so that i ir will not fall over, and keep it away l from heating and lighting fixtures.

INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS
 AGAINST TREAS. BUTTERWORTH

Injunction proceedings to restrain Treasurer Frank S. Butterworth of the American Legion from deducting S3,60C a year for himself from the state funI f5r needy ex-service men were decided upon yesterday by lgion members in Hartferd. The matter will be laid be fore a judge of the superior court soon according to present plans.
 The action will be based on twc points, one that the statute setting aside the S2,500,000 fund does not allow any expenses flor administration, much les: a salary for the disbursing officer, an6 the that the board of control has not au thorized Butterforth to withhold for hi: personal use any of the money turned ov CT to him for distribution to former ser vice men who need help.

WARNS AGAINST CHRISTMAS FIRE HAZARD

powdered mica for snow effects instead of the highly dangerous paper clippings and cotton.
 DO not illuminate the tree with can dles.
 "Colored electric light assemblies are more ornamental and safer on the whole. A spot light focused upon the tree is the safest method, and gives highly pleas ing effect.
 "smokers should exercise great care with their matches and smoking mater ials while near trees and decorations.
 Keep matches out of the reach of small children or they are likely 10 use them to illuminate the tree.
 ''Toys using alcohol. gasolene or kerosene should be avoided. as should the fimsy toy motion-picture machines using infammable film.
 'Low-priced electrical playthngs should be tabooed, since they are often effectively wired and frequently have insecure dangerous connections. Such electrical apparatus may cause serious burns and fires.
 "If 1t is felt that Santa Claus must be present at the celebration, the imper- senator should avoid long cotton "whis- kers," and should keep away from open lights and fires As an additional precau- tion. the costume used shouid be made partially freproof by spraying upon it solution made by boiling snd straining two ounces of carbonate of soda two ounces of ammonia carbonate; two ounces of borlc acid, and five gallons of water.
 eff anyone's clothing catches fire. the victim should be promptly rolled in a rug or woolen~c cloth in order to smother the flames, which should be kept iron the face.
 "In order to prevent the spreai ot any fires that may start, bucket or two i of water and a fire extinguisher should | be kept ready at hand.
 Merchants should keep their place! of business free from rubbish ana pa per accumulations. and should insist tha employees keen all exits clear.
 Large No Smoking signs should b displayed in stores and the regulation strictly enforced.
 "A most important safeguard is t remove all evergreens immediately afte Christmas before they become com | pletely dried out"
