LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Accident. Nd. April 11th. 1897


To the Editor Of The Republican.
Will you please correct statement
which appeared in the last issue of The
Republican to the effect that our Coun-
ty Commissioners would be required to
levy twenty-five hundred dollars to
pay bcunties for killing wildcats,
weasels and foxes.
The bill came to the Senate after it
was passed by the House and was held
there by me until l finally decided to
attach an amendment which would
provide that the bounties are to be
paid out of the State Conservation
fund, instead of county funds. If the
Governor signs the bill and it becomes
a law, our county will not be put to
any additional expense.
Also House Bill No. 80, by Edwards
and Groves, was amended by me to
provide an enabling act which would
have authorized the Commissioners
to pay up to $4,000 to each of the
Friendsville, Grantsville and Kitzmil-
Ter fire departments, and $4,000 to
Oakland, provided, however, that they
could prove to the satisfaction of the
Commissioners that such amounts
were necessary in order to enable the
said fire departments to maintain
their equipment. The bill in it's origi-
nal form made such payments manda-
tory upon our Commissioners.
My amendment was not concurred
in, however, and the bill died, and
should not be reported as one Of the
measures that is to become a part of
our new laws. Yours truly,
CLIFFORD FRIEND.

 The personnel director will get $56,500 the first year and $51.500 the second year.
 The purchasing agent $50,8 the first year and $45, 1900 the second year.
 The budget of the public works department, under Director Robert A. Hurley, will receive $754,156 each year. His department has jurisdic- tion over all state buildings and new projects.

 Old Age Failure
 Hartford, Conn, June 11.-(UP)- Failure of the general assembly to provide for funeral expenses of old age beneficiaries, 1t was disclosed to- day, will cost the old age assistance bureau an additional $180,000 year.
 The bureau estimated 15O funerals a month, or 1900 a year, at cost of $100 each.
 This heavy drain of finances, it was said, probably will result in cur tailment of the number of approved new applications for benefits.
 Adopted 1067 Bills
 Hartford, Conn., June 11.--tUP)- The general assembly session, which adjourned Wednesday, adopted the record number of 1067 bills, it was reported today by Progressing Clerk Richard H. Ireland.
 This number compares with 864 in 1895 and the previous high of 890 in 1921. More than 23O0 measures were submitted this year. The gov ernor, thus far, has signed 744 bills.

 May Be Work of Amateur
 Whitley said that any theory was epurely speculative" He added that certain things" indicated that the crime was the work of an am- ateur.
 The Kidnapping came as a com plete surprise to the neighbors and friends of the Parsons in this exclu- sive community. They were quiet couple, friends said, who were more interested in the raising of pheas- ants, squabS and chickens than in the social life of the North Shore.

SIMPSON SUIT
 IN COURT FINALE
Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D heartedly accepted Simpsons state ment that there was not the slight est foundation for her remark and that she expressed extreme sorrow for having repeated the rumor.
 Costs May Be $2,750
 It was expected that costs, award ed against Mrs. Sutherland, would approximate $2,750. The suit was an ordinary islander action, Wal lington said, adding: But circum- stances under which it arose have ben rather unusual and for that rea- son 1t has obtained significance and importance that otherwise it could not possibly have had This was a reference to the romance that rocked an empire and put Simpson in the position of maintaining si- lence, according to his code, while gossip spread about his part in the divorce suit that opened the way for his wife to become the Duchess of Windsor.
 Slander Charged
 The islander of which Simpson complained, Wellington said, oc- cured in December at private luncheon party. Unknown to Mrs. Sutherland, he said, Simpsons sis ter, Mrs. Peter Kerr Smiley, sat be- side her when she made her re- mark. The remark was that he was paid large sum to keep silent.
 "As the result" Wellington said "the rumor went round to the effect that Simpson had been paid large sum of money as the price of his silence in the divorce proceedings and in consideration of his not de- lending them. The defendant is only one of great numoer who have repeated this ruinor"
 Wellington announced that Mrs. Sutherland sincerely apolgized.
 Answers Five Questions
 Simpson replied to five questions by his counsel. He said that he was not acquainted with Mrs. Suther- land. He said that he had neither received nor had been promised money for not defending the divorce suit. Sir Patrick Hastings, for Mrs. Sutherland, said that he would ask Simpson no questions. "The fewer words I employ in this matter the better" he said, and continued: Mrs. Sutherland never had the slight est intention of injuring anyone any more, I suppose, than thousands of other women who were talking the same subject matter at that time"
 Then he gave Mrs. Sutherland's apology.

 Time and again the two were seen together. Once at Del Mar, a Pacific ocean resort, in August, 1884, friends said that she was to take her fourth husband. Later, when she returned to Hollywood from a vacation, Powell met her at the airport and greeted her with a kiss. Reporters asked her if they were to be married.
 Did Not Deny Romance
 "It is a little early to forecast that" she replied, but she did not deny a romance.
 Miss Harlow began work on China Seas" In that picture she scored, according to many critics, a highlight of her career.
 She was enthusiastic about her role, in which she worked with Clark Gable and Wallace. Of Wallace Beery she said: "He was joking, laughing comrade with an inexhaus- tible fund of energy, always talking about his small adopted daughter" !"
 "Riffraff" came next and it marked definite change in Miss Harlow'S career. She abandoned the platinum blonde" hair and it ap- peared in its natural honey color.
 A sincere role was provided for her in Wife versus Secretary" where she played with Clark Gable and Myrna Loy.
 Again Powell Appears
 Again William Powell Strode into her professional career. They played together in "Libeled Lady,, released in 1886. They stopped traffic in Santa Barbara one day when they were discovered shopping for kitch- en utensils.
 That same year she went into court and was granted permission to use her mothers maiden name, the one she had adopted for her film career, as her own legal title, so she became, in fact, Jean Har- low, less than one year before she died in a Los Angeles hospital.
 Personal Property" played with Robert Taylor, was her last conl- pleted picture.
 After its completion she began work on Saratoga" a fast-moving, romantic story of the racetracks. She was working on the final scenes when she was stricken with a stomach ailment. It became more serious as gall bladder trouble de- veloped, then uremic poisoning, and at 11:37 o'clock on the morning of Monday, June 2, 1887, the actress died.

 Monroe, Mich, June 11-UP)- Scores of armed special deputies to- day turned back out-of town auto mobiles they believed bore C.I.O. unionists coming to aid steel strik- CTS who were routed by tear and nausea gas at the Newton Steel Company plant reopening. Mayor Daniel A. Knaggs told Gov. Frank Murphy no state troops would be needed.
 Five hundred vigilantes who had been on call during the night grad ually were demobilized but told to remain ready for any new crisis.
 Fifteen cars in an advance cara van of sympathetic United Automo- bile Workers Union members from Pontiac were blocked from entering Monroe. Several of their occupants were questioned by police but re- leased. There was no violence.

 Left Farm at 11:45
 Mrs. Anna Kupryanova, who has lived with the Parsons for six years, although her place in the household was not clearly explained, told police that Mrs. Parsons left the fc.m at 11:45 a. m. (EDT) Wednes- day with an elderly man and wo- man in their automobile. Last night police broadcast an eight-state alarm:
 Wanted, unknown man and wo- man in large black sedan"
 Mrs. Kupryanova's story conflict ed with that of Mrs. Leona New ton, former postmistress of Stony Brook, who said that sine had seen Mrs. Parsons, apparently alone and in her own car, at 12:45 p. m., (EDT) an hour and half after she was reported to have left the farm,

 The Parsons farm, an unpreten- tious place valued by one real eS- tate man at around $15,000,' was the scene of feverish activity yes- terday, as federal and state officers, bloodhounds and a score of news roamed about the grounds. Finally, Parsons, 8 graduate of Yale university, Class of 1910, ap- peared at a side door, dressed in a white polo shirt, corduroy trousers and sport shoes.
 Anxious to Make Contact
 He issued a statement in which he asked that "law-entorcement agencies and newspaper representa- tives" withdraw from the farm and assured the party or parties hold- ing my wife" that he was will ing and anxious" to make contact and pay the ransom.
 Due to the unfortunate publicity concerning the instructions of the kidnaper," the statement said, it will of course be impracticable ana useless to attempt to follow the ln- Structions already given bS the kid naper.
 The ransom note, found tucked l under the foot rail in the rear seat of the Parsons car, which pre- had been setting in the yard since Mrs. Parsons drove her husband to the station where he de- parted for New York early Wednes- day morning, read:

 The Buckle Company strikers seek several points, among them the reinstatement of Thomas Bowling, q veteran employe allegedly dis chargd for union activity, and the establishment of preferential hir- ing system.
 Alex Cashin and Philip Brainard, organizers for the Waterbury Brass Workers Union, CIO affiliate, con- tend that the net steps in both strikes are up to the arrangements of the concerns.
 Two Other Troubles
 Negotiations are still underway between the union and officials ot the Shoe Hardware Company, a branch of the U. s. Rubber Com pany, and the Waterbury Manu- featuring Company, a branch ot the Chase concern. Conferences wege held yesterday with officials of Ehe Chase Rolling Mills, and with John H. Goss. general superintend- ent of the Scovill Manufacturing Company.
 The union is maintaining picket lines at the Waterbury Buckle Con- pany and the Noera Manufacturing Company. Tickets have been on duty at the buckle concern 24-hours a day since the strike began a few days ago.
 The alleged attempted assault at tho Buckle Company took place at about 10 o'clock this morning. A driver was leaving the company yard and pickets sought to stop him to question him as to whether he was removing any goods from the fac tory. Instead of halting, the driver allegedly picked up an iron bar and swung it at the pickets. Ne one was struck and police prevented any further trouble.

When the drivers action came to the attention of the union, the matter was brought before the employer and the driver dismissed for anti-labor activity.
 Tickets Successful
 Tickets at the Buckle Company have been successful thus far in having drivers to take out finished goods from the factory for delivery. Drivers have been making deliveries at the plant, but have refused to take out any shipments intended for customers. The factory is said to have a large amount of finished goods, ready for shipment,
 The dismissal of the driver marks the first time in local industrial history that the principle of anti labor activity has been brought into action when the person charged with it was not employed in the strike-bound factory or otherwise directly concerned in the strike.
