'lege Speaks Today

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Jan 13-(UP)
The SD annual meeting of the
Connecticut State Grange went
into its second day today following
comforting Of the sixth degree, one
Of the highest honors Of the
Grange, on 102 members. The
Grange was to hear addresses today
by DR.. Albert N. Jorgensen, presi-
dent of Connecticut State college,
and Col. Samuel n. Fisher, chair
man of the governors street and
highway safety commission. Sessions
were to continue until late Thurs
day.
Sixth Degree Conferred
After delivering the welcoming
address, Frank H. Peet, Kent,
Grange master, presided at the
ritual comforting the sixth degree
on the large number OF candidates.
This degree Is the highest the state
organization may confer. The Ma
tional Grange may confer a seventh
degree on member. Finances of
the Grange, according to Treasurer
Darius A. st. John, New Canaan,
were In excellent condition. He
said the organization has approx
mately $4,000 invested in banks.
Income during 1886, he added, was
$4,000 greater than expenses. In his
address, Peet denounced the re-
ciprocal trade agreements of the
federal government as "detrimental
to the farmer.
Ability To Pay
He called for a revision Of the
tax structure on the basis OF "abil-
ity to pay" and urged inclusion Of
farmers and farms held in provi-
sions of the soial security act.
Are farm laborers," he asked,
never expected to reach the age Of
IS or are they expected to accumu-
late enough savings to take care Of
themselves when in need?" Mrs.
Sarah L. Curtis, Plainville, Grange
lecturer, followed Peet to the stand,
and urged members to encourage
highway safety work.
"It is a vital and important pres
ent day problem" she said.
Blue ribbon certificates, in the
subordinate Grange achievement
contest, were awarded several COM

able to secure q position for him
at the place where he, Steward,
worked and Mitchell stated he would
be grateful because his own work
was not too, steady. At that time
John Clapp suggested that he, who
wa sentirely out Of work, would also
like to get a position and there was
some talk about q small payment
being made II the position could be
secured.
John Clapp then told Steward
that he didn't believe that he would
be able to secure him work and
Steward resented this statement
and short time later, when John
Clapp went into the bathroom and
proceeded to wash his hands. Steward
again took the matter up of the re-
sentiment he showed to Clapp by
reason Of Clapp's doubling his abil-
ity to secure him the job. Steward
became quite beiligerent about his
word being doubted and Mitchell,
who was In the bathroom with the
two men, stepped between them SO
as To avoid any blows being struck,
although Steward was the aggressor
and Ciapp showed no inclination to
resort to any physical violence.
When Mitchell stepped between the
two men Steward called Clapp q
very vile name, an uncommon cpl
tibet but extremely vile, and at the
same time pulled out a jack-knife
and opened the blade and proceeded
to lunge at Clapp. Mitchell. who
was standing between, did not re-
alize at the time that Steward, who
was lunging at Clapp under his.
until Clapped called out that he had
been cut. Then Mitchell discovered
Steward was using a knife. Steward
stabbed Clapp In the left thigh and
then ran out into the kitchen, where
he attempted 20 assault Robert
Clapp who, in an effort to defend
himself, took o stoveshaker and hit
Steward with it on the head. Stew
ard then ran out of tn ehouse to the
house Of relative nearby where he
secreted the knife.
Clapp bled profusely and was
taken to st. Mary's hospital where
it was found that he had cut In
his shirt, which had not been there
before the quarrel and which was
directly over his heart, and also the
cuts on his body which penetrated
his clothing and flesh. At the hos
pital Clapp developed gas bacillus
condition in his wound which
caused his death late In the evening
Of December rs. 1886.
Steward was apprehended and
presented to the court on charge
Of assault, was liberated on bonds

IN almost the entire rear portion of
the boys head.
The killer was a sexual pervert,
the United Press was informed.
Charles had been fed enough to
sustain his tiny body, but his fierd-
ish captor had not clothed him
sufficiently to ward off aggravation
of the cold the boy suffered when
he was stolen from the living room
of his fathers fashionable Puget
Sound home the night OF December
AZ.
One Significant Clue
The autopsy yielded one vitally
significant clue. Bits of flesh and a
few strands of hair were found be-
meath Charles. Fingernails, along
with peculiar blush clay.
This indicated the kidnaper was
scratched by Charles as he battled
vainly for his life, and that the
criminal possibly carries tell-tale
scars on his hands, arms or face.
Officials were puzzled by a fine
film of sandy loan found on paris
of the mutilated body. This, with
other evidence, indicated that pos
sibly the body had been first bur-
led in shallow grave, later ex-
humed, and dumped in the snow just
off a lonely country road near
Everett, Wash. This theory was
supported by an indication that the
body started to decompose, that
this process was halted, and had
started again just before the corpse
was discovered.

was taken to the Case apartment by
detectives. They ordered him to take

was locked in the Newtown police
station. He had not confessed.
May Be Thievery
No definite motive for the staying
had been determined; but police be-

attacked. Detectives also were ques-
