REV. R. D. HATCH COMING TO PUTNAM
Will Take Charge of St. Philips
 Church At Once
Has Been Without Rector For More
 Than a Year

Those members and friends of St. Philips church who have already heard the news, have been greatly heartened, and those who will read this for the first time will be greatly delighted. to know that Rev. Richard D. Hatch of Brooklyn, Conn.,, has ae- cepted the invitation of Bishop Ache son to become rector of the local Epis- copal church Mir. Hatch expects to move his household goods at once. and with Mrs. Hatch will take up resi- dence in the former home of c. Harold Gilnatric on Seward street.
 St. Philips church has been with out d rector for more than a year. Be cause of a remarkable spirit among the people of the church, its affairs have gone along exceilently. But, without rector. there was no guiding hand. So there is pleasure all around because Mir. Hatch is coming to the parish. and doubly so because he IS to take charge at once. He will conduct morning worship on Sunday at l0.45 o'clock, when there will be the rites of Holy Communion.
 Mir. Hatch is a graduate of Prince ton University and of the New York General Theological Seminary. Among his parishes have been Stonington, Willimantic and Southport, all in this state. He relinquished the latter par ish this spring and since then has been residing in Brooklyn, Conn, where his father. D. B. Hatch. a retired New York City broker. makes his home the year round.

Peterson ef Broekton. Mass. are un- able to account for Mir. Wallin's ac- tions.
 His Confidence fs Shaken
 According to Mrs. Peterson. her ia ther became alarmed for the safety of his money when the First National Bank closed it's doors because of the defAieations of it's cashier. His money was not on deposit in this particular bank, but in a bank not far beyond the limits of Putnam. He went to that bank and obtained draft whereby he could withdraw his money, and Se- cured his wite's signature. as the ac- count was joint one.
 Leaving hts home, with this check and cash received from checks paying
 
 dealers. Mir. Nallln left on the milk train on the morning of Sept. 22. stat ing he was going to pawtucket to de- peslt the cash in n bank there.
 Police and others traced his muve- mcnts to Pawtueket. where 1t was es- tahlished that he called to make his deposit but did not carry out his in- tention. That be actually did make : 7l.st4t tt. Boston bank is also established as . fact. the daughter states.

 Besides the check and the cash, Mir. Wailin Is known to have taken with him his American citizenship papers. He Is not in possession of his birth certificate, however. He was born in Sweden and never obtained 1t.

 Judge Geisslcr's statement is as fol lows;
 'fhe Citizens Committee is doing everything in it's power to secure q charter for new national bank in Putnam on conditions which will safe guard the shareholders and depositors and make for the best interests of the community. They have reason to be- lieve that the Citizens National Bank will be ready for business within a few weeks.
 Not an hour has been lost by those who have the project in charge and that no definite result has been achieved yet is not chargeable to this committee.
 "ofhtnH ftknt anu psf

 These gentlemen have been in Worcester and Boston and spent Tuesday in Providence. in conference with the executives of two of the strongest banks in New England.

FOUR ASPIRE TO
 REPRESENT TOWN
Spirited Contest Looms Up For Republican Caucus on Oc-
 tober 14
Miss Lsrned, Me.srs. Chapdelaine, Rich and Peehie Seek Nomination

Prospects of merry little contest the second the Republicans have had this election season. bobbed up yester- day when William Pechie of Church street and Samuel Rich of Sunnyside announced that they also would be candidates for the nomination of rep resentative at the Republican caucus to be held probably Oct. l4 at the mu- nicipal building. This being the case. Mir. Rich and Mir. Pechie will enter a four-eornered contest in which Miss Clara Larned and Mayor Victor Chap delaine will be the other contestants. The caucus will be called upon to make choice of two of the four candi dates. who so far have declared them selves as being in a receptive mood for the nomination.
 Miss Larned Popular
 Even before women were enfran- ehised Miss Larned was interested and active in Republican politics. She has been a member of the Republican Town Committee ever since women were admitted to that body. and is now vice chairman of that committee. An- other important office which Miss AaAE f4NA ftNa1N iN AAlt HtE@iatiata NA tilt Putnam Coolidge Club, an organization with 345 members. Her service as probation officer of the Putnam city court has also been very efficient.
 This latter office has been big fac tor in training Miss Larned for pub lie service. for she has had to famil- iarize herself with laws and has given proposed new legislation mees thought ,.A C. fsset 5ttsh lnt as would apply to probation matters and also such subjects as child well fare. children and women in industry anl kindred questions.
 Her friends feel that of all the wom- en in Putnam. Miss Larned is best qualified by training. experience and natural ability to be honored with nomination by her party as eandi- date for representative.
 Mayor Strong Candidate
 Victor Chapdelaine, mayor of the city for two years, and alderman-at- large before that, is a man who would represent his town well. Mir. Chapde- laine has risen from q mill boy to the office of mayor of the city, a tribute to his courage. perseverance and eapa- bilities. He has given the citys busi- ness every attention during his tenure as mayor, and has won the admiration of the city for his diligence and the capable way in which he has discharg- ed his duties. Being retired from business. the mayor is in a position to devote all of his time to the position of representative. and therefore his friends hope he will be one of the two choices for candidates to be made by the coming caucus.
 Native of Putnam
 Mir. Pechie is a native of Putnam, and has lived here all his life. For many years he has been employed in local mills, and served for quite q long time as boss earder at the Night ingale- Morse plant. About two years ago he gave up his position there be- cause of ill health and has not since taken active work, though he has re- gained his former state of health,

CORONER INQUIRIES
 INTO FATAL CRASH
Judge Bill Holds Inquest To- morrow on Accident lnvolv-
 ing Putnam Men
Thos. Ellis. Though Badly Hurt. Max
 e. Satisfactory Progress


 Judge Arthur c. Bill. coroner for Windham County. will hold a coron- er's inquest on the fatal accident al Wilsonville. Conn. last Friday, in his office at Danielson tomorrow. Up to this time no arrests have been made as the result of the automobile acci- dent which resulted in the death of Joseph Caisse. 36 year old Putnam man. and the injury of three other Putnam passengers in the car.
 Thomas J. Ellis. most seriously hurt of the trio. has been a patient at the Day kimball Hospital since the aeei- dent. where he is today reported as resting comfortably. He suffered a fractured collar bone. compound frac- ture of the right arm. dislocation or fracture of finger bones of the right hand. laceration of right palm. scalp wounds, and many minor cuts and bruises. So far 1t has not been neces- sary to amputate his right hand. as was feared might be necessary. and it Is probable that this will not have to be done.
 Miller Slightly Hurt
 Joseph Miller. owner of the Ameri- can Eagle lunch. and employer of caisse. received cuts and bruises, but has been able to resume his work at the lunch cart. Miller was the owner and driver of the machine. Earle H. Ballard. fourth occupant of the ma chine. escaped almost uninjured. and has been at his work al the Putnam railroad station since.
 The four Putnam men were return ing to Putnam from Worcester. and had reached point between Perry vile and Wilsonville when Miller turned out to let a car pass. In com ing back into the road he went too far to the left. Ae he was trying to re- gain the centre of the road something went wrong with the stearing appar- atus or a tire burst. or something else happened. At any rate the machine went through the fence bordering the highway.
 Crashes Into Tree
 After smashing through the fence the car went down an embankment, over a pile of stones. and ended up against a tree. None of the passengers were thrown out. but all lost con- sciousness. Mir Ballard was the first to regain his senses, and set about re- viving the others. Mir. Caisse never regained consciousness; the others soon came Go and were taken tO the hospital at Putnam by the Webster ambulance.
 Dr. R. C. Paine. Thompson medical examiner. viewed the body of the dead man. after which it was removed to the undertaking rooms of the A. Gil man Company in Putnam The aUto- mobile was badly damaged. especially about the top and front.
 Though the accident happened as The Patriot was going to press last week nevertheless we were able to get the story into part of our edition. especially in those papers sold or de- livered in Putnam.
