K. OF C. FOURTH DEGREE REPORT
Made By John M. Lee, District Master Past Year One of
Notable Achievement Had Class of 123 Waterbury
Chosen for Next Exemplification on May 31st.
(Special To The Bulletin)
New Haven, March 1 The Fourth
Degree Assembly, Knights of Colum
bus, district of Connecticut, held a
meeting- this afternoon In the assembly
rooms of the National headquarters
building in this city. ' The meeting was
called by the Master of the district,
John M. Lee of Norwich, and was for
the purpose of making arangements
for the exemplification of the degree
to be held in this district on Sunday
May 31st. There were tn attendance
from Norwich, John M. Lee and
Charles O. Murphy, master and secr
tary, respectively of the district and
William P. McGarry, representing Rev.
Daniel Mailer Assembly of Norwich.
Every assembly In the district was
represented and a great deal was ac
complished in the way of planning for
the exemplification and it is expected
that it will be the most successful af
fair ever held in Connecticut. The re
ports of the various officers showed
that the affairs of the district were in
excellent condition, practically every
section having an effective organiza
tion along the lines laid down by the
Supreme officers.
There was a general discussion re
garding the most desirable -place for
holding the next exemplification and
after getting the sentiment of the del
egates it , was decided to hold it in
Waterbury.
Addresses were made by many
prominent members of this section of
the. order who were in attendance and
the consensus of opinion was that it
was one -of the best district meetings
ever held in Connnecticut,
Delegations Present.
The following delegates were in at
tendance. Bridgeport,. R. .T. Rock,
John J. Conway and George T. Kelly;
Green wich. John J. McDonnell; Hart,
ford, William V. Callins and James
Roach; Meriden, P. T. O'Brien; Mld

F. Campbell, John J. Berigan and
John J .Turbett; New Britain, William
F. Troy; New London, M. J. Sullivan;
Norwich, William P. McGarry; Nor
walk, James P. Sheridan; Rockville, M.
J. Conway; Waterbury, Dr. G. L. Par
tridge and William F. Ryan; State
Deputy, William J. Mulligan, who was
to represent Thompsonville was un
avoidably detained. Following the
meeting the delegates were the guests
of the Knights of Columbus of New
Haven.
District Master's Report.
The report of the master, John M.
Lee, was in part as follows:
To the Delegates to the District As
sembly, Fourth Degree Section,
Knights of Columbus:
Any report which I might "make as
master of this district must of neces
sity be brief, because the distinctive
work which has been assigned this
section of the order has not yet at
tained the importance which it will
eventually acquire, when we as an or
ganization realize the latent possibili
ties of a body of Catholic men banded
together for the purpose of elevating
the standards of American citizenship.
Perfecting Organization.
Last year the district assembly was
not convened because there did not seem
to be any work of urgent importance
requiring ita attention. Following my
appointment as master, the work that
impressed me as being most urgent
was to perfect the organization in this
district. To assist in that work, I
named an advisory committee, consist
ing of one member from each of the
eight counties in the state, as follows:
Fairfield county, George T. Kelly of
Bridgeport; Hartford county, William
V. Collins of Hartford; Litchfield coun
ty, P. H. Walsh of New Hartford; New
Haven county, Judge D. J. Slavin of
Waterbury; New London countv, Wil
liam P. McGarry of Norwich; Middle
sex county. Dr. James Murphy of Mid
dletown; Tolland county. Michael J.
Conway of Rockville; Windham coun
ty, P. J. Hurlihe of Willimantic
A meeting was called i in New Ha
ven, with a full attendance of taie
members of the committee. The situa
tion was thoroughly canvassed and a
plan of organization was outlined. The
result was that a number of general
assemblies were formed, which in
some instances superseded local assem
blies and included a wider range of
territory.
Fourth Degree Membership 846.
A, few of the larger cities, notably
New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford,
had already formed general assemblies
and were practically taking care of all
the members in the towns adjacent to
them. In a few instances more terri
tory was added to their Jurisdiction,
when such a step seemed advisable.
The result was that we have today in
this district eleven general assemblies
and five local assemblies. The fourth
degree membership in this district is
846, according to the records in the
office ofhe supreme secretary.
Class of 123 Candidates.
On Sunday. June 1. 1913. the fourth
degree was exemplified on a class of
123 candidates at Bridgeport. Thanks
to the splendid assistance that I had
from-all sources, and in particular from
the members of Philip Sheridan assem
bly, and the co-operation of a very
efficient degree team, the exemplifica
tion was very satisfactory and the
fourth degree- section in this district
has every reason to fel proud of the
splendid body of men that participated
in that function, both as candidates
and spectators.
Great Wer In Lecture Field.
It seems hardly necessary for me to
dwell at any length Upon the great
work that has been dene in Connecti
cut in the Catholic lecture field, Prob
ably no movement thus far Inaugurat
ed by the Knights of Columbus pre
sents greater opportunities and grand
er prospects for our cause than does
the newly established Knights of Co
lumbus national lecture bureau. It is
in accordance with a plan deviled by
John H. Reddln of Denver. Col., su
preme master of the fourth degree, and
endorsed by the national board of di
rectors, and while the furtherance of
the plan is delegated to the fourth de
gree section of the order the move
ment is designed for the benefit of the
entire order, and all councils have
been urged to avail themselves of the
services of the lecture bureau when
ever possible. This district has not
been negligent in encouraging that
work. Supreme Master Reddin ap
pointed Rev. W. A. Keefe of Plainficid
as state lecturer, and he has been
zealous In his efforts to faithfully per
form the duties of that position. Lec
tures have been given by him in near
ly every section of the state, and he
has at this time a number of engage
ments, covering places not yet visited.
If there' are towns in the state where
the state lecturer has hot yet visited,
or in which lie has no engagement to
lecture. I would urge the fourth de
gree members :to.try and Itave the
councils take the matter up with the
state lecturer and make the necessary
arrangements for an open lneeOiig.
For tha Future.
And now about the future work of
the fourth degree in Connecticut. If
we are to uphold the standard of Co
lumbianism in this district, we must
be. aetive in every movement which
tends to elevate Catholic truths and
Christian manhood. The ceremonial of
this decree oifrs many excellent sug
gestions, indicating some of ihe vari
ous Una of activity for assemblies, as
follows i Participate In a body in all
patriotic celebrations. Take the Initia
tive in all local patriotic affairs. Be
come thoroughly versed in the teach
ings and history of the Catholic
church, the life of Columbus and the
history of the United States and other
countries where this degree is estab
lished, and to that end procure such
works and require members to famil
iarise themselves with these subjects,
or have them read or discussed in
meetings. Take up the cause of home
less, orphan or dependent Catholio
children, also thd matter of exploiting
probation work in the juvenile courts.
Assist your council by creating or re
viving interest and enthusiasm in the
order. Its principles and its work. Be
gin and carry out local work concern
ing religion, charity, education, etc.,
which tends to uplift the general com
munity. Provide for an annual ban
quet or ball on some patriotic day. Ar
range for a public lecture once or twice
a year by some well known or able
Catholic orator or lecturer, or some
Catholic, historical, literary or other
appropriate subject. Have frequently
at meetings, aside from routine busi
ness, a paper, reading or talk on seri
ous present day problems, like social
ism, anarchy and others, and the means
of preventing the same. Try and
arouse an interest in the higher and
more Instructive form of entertain
ment. Encourage active participation
by members individually In parochial
religious societies such as the Holy
Name and kindred organizations. Gen
erally, the fourth degree membership
should by example rather than by pre
cept lead in all matters pertaining to
religion and patriotism.
Enthusiasm and Co-operation.
So, you see. members of the fourth
degree, that there Is a broad field for
your efforts. All that is needed is en
thusiastic leadership and the earnest
co-operation of all the members to
make thi3 section of the order the
great power for good which it was in
tended to be. It rests, then, entirely
with the officers to take the initiative
and see that the meetings of jour as
sembles are made interesting and. in
structive. Next Exemplification on May 31st,
And now we are on the eve of an
other exemplification. Tlip. date has
been assigned, Sunday, May 31et, and
it only remains for the place to be se
lected. If we are to maintain the high
standard already established in this
district, we must begin now to pre
pare for this event There is in every
assembly district a number of eligible
knights who would make desirable
members of this section of the order.
The selection of the prospective mem
bers rests with the various assemblies,
the master can only confer the degree
upon such candidates as are presented
to him. I would remind you, there
fore, to make it known to the coun
cils in your respective districts that
an exemplification is to be held in
Connecticut and invite applications,
keeping in mind, however, that none
should be selected save those who will
bear the honor worthily.
Acknowledges Valued Support.
Before closing this report. I desire to
extend thanks to the fourth degree
membership of this district for the
splendid support that they have given
me In ail my undertakings for the up
building of this section of the ordur.
I desire particularly to thank the
members of the advisory committee
for their aid In perfecting the organ
isation in the state. I feel also that I
should be ungrateful if I did not at this
time express my appreciation of the
willing co-operation and many courte
sies extended to me by the state dep
uty of Connecticut, William J. Mulli
gan, whose advice and assistance was
invaluable in making possible what
ever progress has been made in fourth
degree affairs in this jurisdiction.
NEED OF MORE
ORGANIZATION OF LABOR.
Urged by State A. F. of l Officers at
Meeting Under C. 1 U. Auspices.
Under the auspices of the Norwich
Central Labor Union a meeting in the
interests or organized . labor was held
on Sunday afternoon at 2.20 at the
Colonial theater. Like every other
public gathering of the day, the at
tendance was seriously affected by the
persistent wind and rain storm, and
there were only about 75 men and one
or two women In the theater to hear
the speakers. Swahn's orchestra ren
dered an attractive opening pro
gramme. President William Fitzgerald of the
Norwich Central Labor Union opened
the meeting and introduced R. P. Cunning-ham
of Norwalk, secretary-treasurer
of the Connecticut Federation of
Labor, as the chairman.
Mr. Cunningham welcomed the au
dience present and outlined the pur
pose of the State Federation in three
particulars, viz., the Increase of in
terest in local organizations.-the bring
ing of all of them into affiliation with
the State Federation, and more am
pasis to be placed upon the union la
bel. He pointed out that all this would
tend to strengthen the hands of the
labor legislators, who could then say
that they represented the whole force
of working people in the state.
Through this there would h ajjded
strength given to the lsbor legislators
in making their claims for labor leg
is'rtion. State Qrsranizer J. J. Roddy was the
next speaker, addressing his hearers
upon the value of organization and
the neceetty for organising the unor
ganized, and saying that he was to bo
In Norwich for the week and his at
tention in that time would be given to
organization work,
J. J. Fitzgerald of Cincinnati, vice
president of the National Polishers and
Buffers, was the following speaker. He
was well known to many in the audi
ence, as he was In this city In connec
tion with th recent wsm schedule
change for the polishers at the Hop
kins & Allen Arms company.
Vice President Fliigerald said that
it was bis opinion that no city wae
more in need of organization than
Norwich, and he spoke of conditions
in New Britain, where, he said, the
workingmen are at pretty nearly the
level of beasts, for they had deserted
their union organization, while the
manufacturers had organized and are
aiming toward? a condition of longer
hours and shorter pay.
He lold the audien- e that Norwich
was practically the only city in the
country where wages had heen re
duced, and the reason was the indif
ference of the workingmen and their
desertion of those agencies which
would help them.
Mr. Fitzgerald went into details re
garding labor troubles in the polish
ers 'line now existing with a motor
cycle factory, where a strike started
on January 6th. The wages in this
factory had been higher than in oth
ers in New England, and on the sug
gestion of. other marmfacturers. Mr.
i'uxjrerald said, that this wad bad for
tne trade, an efficiency expert wa.i
brought in and a plan was introduced
which was a wage cut. The polishers
ere still maintaining a peaceful pick
et on the motorcycle factory, and are
issuing their warnings everywhere as
tn the unfair conditions at this
Springtield factory.
Mr. Fitzgerald said he did not have

pened in the Crescent Fire Arms com
pany, the Norwich Nickel and Brass
company, and lastly in the Hopkins &
Allen Arms company among the pol- j
ishers In these three plants, and he
warned the men that organization was
thler only protection.
The speaker scored the Norwich
papers, which Would not publish a
statement regarding the recent polish
ers' troubles at the Hopkins & Allen
Arms company, because It was too
radical, be said.
Sol Sonthelmer of Hartford, second
vice president of the State Federation,
also spoke of the power of organiza
tion, and said there seemed to be an
apathy in Norwich along organization
lines. As an example of the power
of organization, he cited the hatters
non-members to come into the labor
organizations. He argued that the
workees ought to see the value of or
ganization when they see how readily
their employers are iwlllng to com
bine. Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport, first
vice president of the Connecticut A.
F. of L.. was the concluding speaker,
and the meeting adjourned after a ses
sion of about two hours.
Upon the platform with the speakers
were seated President T. J. Kelly of
the Norwich local of Polishers and
Buffers and Robert McNeely, business
agent.
HEROIN FIEND HID
IMPLEMENTS FROM POLICE.
Had Drug and Syringe Over Night in
New London Police Station.
Frank B. Squire, the young drug
field, arrested Friday in New London
by State Policemen Jackson and Down
ing, was sent to jail for four mouths
and fined $1 Saturday in the New Lon
don police court. He said Friday he
wanted to go to jail in the hope that it
would save him from the drug habit.
When talking his case over with
Judge Coit, Squire said he hoped going
to jail would cure him. The judge told
Prosecuting Attorney Cronin that if a
physician found Squire to be cured and
not likely to return to the drug habit
some time during his term he should
be strongly inclined to hear a request
for Squire's release from Mr. Cronin.
Squire told State Policeman Down
ing Saturday morning that he felt all
right and the officer asked him if he
was not on the "ragged edge." Squire
said he was not. Squire's appearance
surprised the officer and after ques
tioning the drug fiend admitted that
when he was searched upon being ar
rested some heroin remained in his
pockets. He scraped this up and got
enough to enable him to sleep in the
night.
Afterwards Squire told Prosecuting
Attorney Cronin that he had morphine
tablets concealed in a pocket While
bragging he produced a hyiodermic
syringe which had escaped thi? detec
tion of the officers.
REV. T. J. DUNN DEAD.
Had Been a Curate at Baltic, Taftville,
Moosup, Willimantic and Dayville.
The Rev. Terrence J. Dunn, 62, an
assistant rector of St. Patrick's church

here he had endeared himself deeply
to the people of the community and
was revered and respected by the
townspeople generally, regardless of

chial school at 6.35 Saturday mornirig

TAFTVILLE AFFAIRS
Much Damage Hare from the Storm
Delays on Electric Line. -
The terrific wind and rain storm of
Sunday completely tied up trolley traf
fic during the afternoon, and it was not
resumed until nearly 9 o'clock In the
evening. The last car that left Taft
vilie for the square was at 3.30, and
the last northbound car that left the
village was at 4.S5 o'clock. The car
that left the square at 2.45 o'clock for
Taftville met with difficulties several
times along the road. Near Baldwin's
store it was necessary to shovel
through several inches of sand and
stones that had piled up on the track.
The car that went through the village
at 4. 35 o'clock, northbound, passed a
southbound car at the Occum switch.
This car got as far as the church cor
ner in Taftville when the power gave
out, and they were stalled there until
about 8.30 o'clock. There were about
a dozen passengers on board anxious
to get home out of the storm, but they
had to etand the three and a half hour
wait or walk. When the power gave
out the conductor had a good deal of
trouble securing a telephone to let the
company know where he was- stalled,
as a good, number of the local phones
were out of order. Another car south
bound ran off the track near the Oc
cum switch and they were stalled until
late in the evening. There were several
people on board whose homes are in
Taftviiie and after wailing something
over an hour they walked into Taft
ville. About 6.30 o'clock a huge limb from
one of the pine trees in the Ponemah
company's yard broke off and fell into
the street. A chimney on South B
street was blown over by the gale and
at the Maennerchor grounds a large
shed was picked up bodily by the wind
and thrown against a corner of the
Maennerchor building. The shed was
considerably damaged.
Sunday afternoon there were sev
eral inches of water in the basement
of No. 4 mill on Norwich avenue, due
to the overflow from the street. No. 4
mill sets down below the level of the
street and the water pouring down the
embankment flowed into the basement.
Water also gained entrance into a
number of cellars in the village, and
many branches, large and small, were
blown down in different parts of the
village.
Sleighride to Willimantic.
A party ef about 15 couples of local
young people enjoyed a. sleighride to
Willimantic and return Saturday even
ing. They left Taftville. early in the
evening-, and although it was' poor
sleighing at the start, fairly good roads
were encountered above Baltic. Sup
per was enjoyed at the Hooker house,
following which the party left for
home, arriving in the early morning
hours. Chennette'3 four-horse sleigh
was used.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL ;
Thousands Have Discovered DrA
Edwards' Olive Tablets are a
Harmless Substitute.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the sub
stitute for calomel are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver
is almost instantaneous. They are the
result of Dr. Edwards' determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. His efforts to banish it
brought out these little oiive-colored
tablets. These pleasant little tablets
do the good that calomel does but have i
no bad after effects. They don't injure j
the teeth like strong liquids or calomeL
They take hold of the trouble and j
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver j
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. It is best not to
take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipatiou
and a disordered livr. Take Dr. Ed
wards' Olive Tablets when you feel
"ioggy" and "heavy"'. Note how they
'clear" clouded brain and how they
"perk up" the spirits. At 10c and 25c
per oox. The olive Tablet Company,
Columbus, O. All druggists.
