What We Have Lost by Not Being Pro
gressive

Mr.. Editor: Is there a citizen in Nor
who has not heard about the Smith 6
Wesson Fire Arms Co., the Washburn &
Moen Co.. and some others that wanted to
locate in Norwich? Didn't Ethan Allen
want to locate firearms factory on the
new dock where the Dawley lumber yard
is now located? Didn't the city decline t.
build a bridge where the Laurel Hill bridge
is now located, and the Allen factory went
to Worcester? But this is ancient history.
The cities wher such concerns located
have leaped ahead of Norwich Were they
progressive cities? They have adopted the
daylight saving, a progressive idea.
wouldn't Norwich grow faster If more
progressive?

Washington, Jan. 5.--Charges
were made in the senate today by
Senator Trammell, democrat, Flor

member OF the interstate com
merce commission, who was ap-
pointed from Oregon, had fused
his good offices to obtain de-

The Florida senator made his
charges while speaking on a bill
he introduced today providing for,
geographical representation on the
interstate commerce commission.
He declared the action of the COM
mission on lumber rates had oper-
ated to shut the south out Of the
lumber markets OF the eastern and
northern states.

masked men entered the pool hall

The robbers escaped.
The bandits entered through
four doors in the hall and dis
charging a pistol ordered the
crowd to the back room. After GO
ing through the pockets of the
men, the cash drawer was rifled
and large quantity of merchan-
disc taken.
-Four men In the crowd were or
dered into an automobile outside
and were taken about a mile and
a half out Of town on the road to

81 HAVE
NO RIGHT
TO BONUS
Rejection of Prior
Service Claims Is Re
Quired by Law In
Amendment

Only 81 claims out of 7642
filed by ex-service men have been
rejected by the state bonus COM
mission, according to statement
issued this morning by Captain
Harry G. Brumbaugh, secretary.
These reflections are classified
as follows: Entrance into service
prior to June 8, 1915, SO; serv-
ice all as student in student army
training corps, 4; nonresident at
time of enlistment, 2; dishonor-
able discharge, l.
The large nu@ber OF reflections
on account of entry into service
prior to June 3, 1915, is no debut
due to the fact that while this re-
striction appears in the constitu-
tional amendment which was vot-
ed on by the people in the May
election, it does not appear in the
legislative enactment, which has
been more widely distributed and
more frequently referred to than
the amendment. This omission has
created the impression that the
rejection of an application on
such grounds was the result of a
ruling Of the commission, this
view being expressed by one news
paper editorially. Captain Brum-
baugh stated emphatically, that
in making these reflections, the
commission has no discretion in
the matter and is only administer
ing the law as voted by the people.
Reflections on account OF no
military or naval status include
two student nurses, one recon-
struction aide, one officer OF the
Russian railway service corps
and one apprentice seaman in the
merchant marine. These reflections
were made only after correspond
ence with the secretary OF war,
the surgeon general and the sec
retary of navy, developed the fact
that these cases were classed as
civilian employees and as such had
no military or naval status and
could not be considered as having
served in the military ir naval
forces of the United States as the
law provides.
