 MANAGE PUTNAM INN

Knott knotes,' magazine devot- ed to the Knott chain of hotels in which the Putnam Inn is the last link, has the following regarding the man who is to manage the Putnam hostel ry:
 :" The man without country or to be really correst. The manager without a house. John l. Hyland, is kept busy jumping around his Connec- ticut territory. His hotel the Putnam Inn. will be ready for him any day now, and he will no doubt be happy to have roof over his head
 Another item in the same issue reads John Hyiand who has made many friends as desk clerk at LeMar- quis, has been appointed manager of the Putnam Inn, Putnam, Conn, the latest addition to the Knott Hotels. He is certain to achieve the same popular ity in his new post, for he has an in- gratiating and pleasing personality.

PUTNAM POLICE WITH DRAWN GUNS HUNT
 BURGLARS WHEN SAVINGS BANK ALARM RINCS|
RINGING BELL AT MIDNIGHT TUESDAY STARTLES OFFI GERS AND BRINGS THOUGHTS OF CUNMEN

 moned to Bank

watching proceedings. Treasurer Daniel J. Byrne was teiephoned to and told what had happened Although suffering from injuries sustained in an automobile accident in the afternoon, he came down to the bank. Unlocking the bank door the treasurer and the officers entered. Nothing had been dis turbed and careful investigation showed everything to be all right, and no sign of life was disclosed.
 False Alarm
 By this time it was certain that the burglar alarm had given false warn ing. The bell finally stopped ringing of it's own accord. These alarms are supposedly of perfect mechanism, and 1t Is rare that the bell will ring unless something comes in contact with the mechanism to set off the alarm. Ow- ing to the lateness of the hour that the bell rang, 1t was certain that 1t was not case of test being made. and the officers felt sure that there were night providers about the bank building. The company that installed the alarm has been notified and an in- vestigation will be made to try and discover the cause of the bells ring ing.
 Captain Jarvis and his men freely admit that the experience was one that startled them and caused them to be- lieve that they had unusual work to do. However, they went ahead and made the investigation in the darkness and at possible great risk to them selves. s

ors are both joiatly and severally liable where gross negligence is prov- en. The directors, as stockholdera tn the bank. have already been assessed to the amount of one hundred per cent of the face value of their stock holdings and 1t Is believed that in some instances any other forced pay- ment will come as . great hardship to the individual. The directors of the bank at the time it closed it's docis were. Ransom II. Bradley, Charles H. Brown, John A. Dady, Oscar Dugas, John O Fox, C. Harold Gilpatric, Edward w Mullan, Lehbeus F.. Smith and Silas N. Nheelock.
 Action a Surprise
 The fact that there has been de- mand made upon the directors based on their alleged neglignce causing a loss Co the institution probably came us q surprise To them and certainly came as a surprise to the citizens of furnam. That negligence has been imputed to the directors was well known and at the meeting of stock holders wnien was addressed by Il. H. Mckee of Washington, n. C., who came to Putnam as representative Of the Comptroller of the Currency. Mir. Mckee stated thai It appeared that there had been negligence on the part of the directors but inferred that not to such an extent as to cause a Denef that any acton would De talk on against them.
 Renewed Criticism of Examiners
 The situation that has arisen has aealn caused criticism or the Federal bank examiners who. apparently. were unable to discover the Blarlng irregu- laaIues tnae naa oeen k9ing on in the flrst National BanK extending over a eonsiueIanie period oI time. Why the irregularities were not discovered before the bank was wrecked IS a question many times asked by eitl- zens of Putnam and never satisfact- orally answered.

 The speaker sand that there are now six examining boards Tn the state, one for each classification of practitioners. All of the boards with the exception of the eclectic have proved efficient. he claimed that the allopathic and homeo- patnic branches arc using proven in- efticiency on the part Of this beard, which resulted in the fake doctor scandal last year, as Il sort of camou- fiage for making drastic changes m the practice act.
 lie said that senate bill number l2i. on which q hearing will be held next Tuesday at the state cnpttoly IS similar to bills being introduced tn many of the other states, all at tue behest of the American Med3cAk Anzo- ciation's headquarters in Chicago.

Never in the annals of the police aanartruent has there been anything r,dre startling than the sudden ring ;n., of the burglar alarm attached to .he north end of the Putnam Savings Pank building, Tuesday night. It was at or little after midnight when the bsrsb tones of the alarm bell echoed nn and down Main street. Patrolman William Durand was the first to hear ,be warning sounds, and he ran to the bgilding. Seeing all dark he hastily summoned Sergeant Liard and the po- lice station was reached on the tele- pbone. Captain Jarvis happened to be tbere. and jumped into his automobile and soon arrived at the bank building.
 Officers Draw Guns
 Drawing their guns the three off, eers first rounded the building. From aufward appearances everything was intact. No windows were open and apparently the steel-screens protect ine the windows had not been tam pered with.
 While an officer remained on the outside Captain Jarvis and the other officer entered the building as the door to the stairway leading to the second floor was found unlocked. The officers made the rounds of the offices on the second floor and tried all the doors, finding them secured. They then pas sed up through the skylight to the roof and made thorough search there without result.

had wished.
To friends of a lifetime was given
the sad task of conveying the body
to sanctuary in his native soil at a
point overlooking a broad blue lake
beside which he was born and came
to mans estate.
Many others with whom he had
labored so long in the state and ma

The expansive rotunda of the
massive state capitol, where Sunday
his body lay in state. was the place
of the brief funeral services. The

Thousands had ~journeyed to Mad

Washington as Lively
AS a Well Kept Cemetery

Washington, June 23.-With the
Summer Capital established a
Swampscott, Mass, Washington in
many ways is like a deserted vii
lage. There is hardly a corporal's
guard of high officials left in the
city. The cabinet members are at
their homes for the summer.
Probably, the most active people
in Washington are the large groups
of visitors. The Federal depart
ments are fuctioning but in the grip
of deadly routine. In other words,
they are not going out of their way
to take the initiative in anything.
The White House is being remodel
ed to make it more habitable. The
present structure is more than a CEN
fury old and only at infrequent in
tervals have changes been made in
the equipment.
One member Of the Presidents
staff will remain at the Executive
Offices. He is Rudolph Forester,
executive clerk, who has served in
that capacity for many Chief Exc
cutives. His efficiency is such that
a change in administration does not
affect his standing. The summer
White House is in constant touch
with Mr.. Forester by special wire

Orders have been issued to police

The talk of tax reduction is again

man Green, of Iowa, Chairman of

Chamber of Commerce completed a
referendum this week of more than
1000 organizations of business men
with the result that the viewpoint of
American business has been present
ed in three recommendations on tax
alton. The most important was an
appeal for some co-ordinating in
