ASKS AUTHORITY TO ''.
 DISPOSE OF MILLIONS
Norfolk Woman Seeks Char ter for Trust Cor =
 poration 6

Authority to dispense millions in charity was asked of the general assembly last week, in bill intro duced on behalf of Mrs. Helen Hart ley Jenkins of New York and Nor folk, daughter of Marcellus Hartley, who was the dominating figure in the formation of the Remington Arms plant and the Union Metallic Car fridge Go. of Bridgeport. The mon ey is to be available for charity, educational use or other welfare work. The bill requests charter for the Hartley Trust Corporation, which will be the legal name of the foun- dation. It was drawn by Commits sioner of Motor Vehicles R. B. Stoeckel, who has been Mrs. Jenkins attorney for many years. The in corporators are to be Mrs. Jenkins, her daughter, Miss Grace Hartley Jenkins, Gov. Everett J. Lake, Dr. Samuel A. Brown, New York. physi- clan and Commissioners R. B. Stoeckel. 4 .t. ........,.
 Among the features of the plan is provision that the governor of Connecticut shall always be a mem Der of the board of trustees. Gov. Lake has been asked to, remain a member after his retirement from office, and today signified his willing ness to do so. The board will there fore be increased to six members upon the completion of Gov. Lake's term in 1923. .s ...s@
 Much latitude is allowed officers of the foundation in the granting of the funds. They will, however, be guided by the lifelong policy of Mrs. Jenkins to aid chiefly welfare work of an institutional or permanent nature. g."
 It is Mrs. Jenkins plan to start the fund with a few hundred thousand and add to the foundation each year until her death. At present she is interested in many welfare institu- tions in New York city, including several hospitals and she has shown an active interest in prison reform movements. Her donations to wet4 thy enterprises have often resched 81O0, ,eeD in a year. 'f'....,. <" -..s
 No banking or commercial work will be carried on by the Hartaey Trust corporation.
 It is probable that the charter in its final form will provide that at least three of the board of trustees shall be citizens of this state As at present constituted the board numbers among it's members a physi- cian, a business man, a lawyer and two representatives, Of the farnily.
 It is probable that this represen- tation will be continued perpetuaffy the clause making the governor a member, also insuring that at least one state official will be on the board szt all times. Miss Grace Hartley Jenkins is engaged to Winter Mead, a former Yale crew captain and at present a member of the Bankers Trust Co. of New York.

MAY HAVE ANOTHER
 OF RAILROAD THIEVES
Waterbury Man, in Custody at Utica, N. r., Awaiting
 Extradition

Slowly but surely railroad detec- tlves with the cooperation of state officlals are weaving a net about the band of men who rifled the freight cars on the, Barnes siding in this town for the past year. Word was received on Tuesday that Luigi Luria, alias Lorio, alias Loracco, who jumped a s2,000 bond in Water bury last August, when awaiting trial on the charge of receiving stolen goods from freight cars at Derby, is under arrest at Utica, N. Y. and held under $4,000 bonds awaiting extradition to this state. He is said to have admitted the Water bury crime, but denies that he was one of the gang caught in the act of rifiing freight cars here last month.
 Luria motored into Ashley Falls, Mass, north of Canaan, one day last week and that night raid was made there for the purpose of getting the much-wanted man, but the authori- ties failed to land their man, who was afterward traced to Utica. He was arrested there on Friday. ..-
 When Joseph Gavania was arrest ed by Detective See, after being shot by that officer, he gave the address of Luria in Utica, N. Y., since which time he has been under surveillance. When the authorities learned his identity and connection with the Derby thefts he was immediately placed under arrest. From indica- tions at present it would seem that but short time should elapse before the entire gang is under arrest.

Canaan, Conn.,, Jan. P, 1921. Dr. J. G. Adam, Chairman
 Dear Sirs- ..........
 There are many ways that this money might be spent to a great advantage to the town and in some cases the need is imperative.
 There is a story of man being m doubt over a much mooted ques- tion, asked Lincoln which side is right and which his wrong" Lincoln replied, it is not question of which side is right and which is wrong, but on which side is there the most that it's right.
 Now in what way can we use this money that will represent the great est value to the town, ten Or twenty years from now? 1t is hard to tell, but I make this suggestion to the voters for their consideration.
 After appropriating s1,O00 or $1,2OO dollars Cor whatever amount they may need to clear up their debt) to The Canaan Hose Co., then set aside the whole or the greater part of the balance as a fund with which to build a combination Library and Town Hall on the present Town Hall site; this building could have rooms for town officers, the Visiting Nurse, voting booths, athletic sports and any other rooms that the needs of the town demanded and could be so planned that either Town Hall or Library could be built independently and at such times as business condi- tions would warrant.
 Our Town Hall is not, and never was building to be proud of, and is inadequate in every way for the de- mands made on it. It is unsafe and unsanitary and soon several thou sand dollars will have to be spent 10 even maintain it's present condition. We need larger Hall for public gatherings, we need larger and bet ter quarters for our voting booths, as the voting population of our town has nearly doubled in the last year, and every one knows that the present quarters and facilities are almost joke,
 We need offices for our selectmen, town clerk and Judge of probate, also suitable court room, room should be provided for sports and games, outside the hall or assembly room cage or lookup should be pro- vided in the building, not next to the ticket window where you now buy ticket for the "Movies" and turn and look at the cage with a desperate criminal staring you in the face.
 Our present library has outgrown its home and something will have to be done soon to provide more room, business enterprises have overgrown its location, the almost constant traffic, and the starting of motors in the nearby garages and in the street has become a serious menace to the surroundings with which we instinc-
