TAFTVILLE
TaftriUe people were interested In the
report that Mormon missionaries have
arrived, in this state" to establish a
Mormon church in Hartford. Those in
charge are said to be elders of the'
Mormon church, and are a'J young men.
Three or four years ago, three elders
of the letter Iay Saint organization ot
Salt Lake City visited the . village arm
. ed with the Book ' of the Mormon, and
tracts and printed literature describing
aeld in answer to
Kstitioners represented by Henry Pukal
lus, Dr E. J. Brophy, John McWilliams,
Arthur E. Shedd and G. Warren Davis,
r.itionera" committee. Mayor jauo
i. Tt7ara and President Jieroert m.
riiu and Secretary John J. O'Rourke of
the Norwich chamber or commerce ir
the purpose of abolishing the grade cross
ing. The council chamber was filled with
persons interested in the project and at
torneys representing the city and towns
of Norwich and the New Haven railroad,
fi Wan-Mi Davis stated that as the
ittee was not a permanent one and
that . the matter couid not De seitieu
Tuesday it would be advisable to make
the committee permanent with power to
fill vacancies-and this-was voted.
Commissioner Elweil then' opened the
hearing. It was announced that Corpora
tion Counsel William H. Shields,- Jr.,
would represent the city and petitioners,
and Town Counsel H. H. Pettis the town.
The first man called by Attorney
Shields was Arthur E. Shedd of Preston
who told of narrow escapes he had had at
that crossing .while driving a team, and
later an automobile. He considered the-
crossing a dangerous one.
Dr. E. J. Brophy, :old' of attending
Frank Osborn who 4was struck by a
train about, two. years ago, and told of
the action taken by the 'Norwich Medi
cal society Monday ) night favoring the
abolishing of this crossing which was con
sidered the most dangerous in this vi
cinity. G. Warren Davis told of trouble that
horse drawn vehicles as 'Well as motor
vehicles experienced at the crossing, and
how hard it was to hold back heavy loads
on the 14 per cent, grade. He also spoke
of the danger to school children, and said
fc4 i that drivers of chicles now refused to
pass over the crossing but entered trreston
by way of Hamilton avenue, a longer and
less pleasing drive.
..Attorney Buckingham for the railroad
asked Mr. Davis what 1 the petitioners
wanted, and Mr. Davis said a flagman,
24 hours a day, and ultimately an over
head bridge: ,
: Street Commissioner Albert E. Cruth
ers stated that men had been posted at
tbe crossing on December 16th and the
count was taken from 6 a. m., to 5 p. m.
as follows: 7 2,. heavy, trucks, 42 light
trucks, . 109 passengers cars, 52 single
teams, 17 double teams, 278 children,

CnUTSt'HKS ARE RESPONDING
. TO CHKtSTMAS AFFEAl
Churches all over the state are making
prompt response to the - Christmas ap
peal of ex-Governor Marcus. H. Holcomb,
honorary state chairman of the Near East
relief, in behalf of the 115,000 orpnan
boys and girls under. American protec
tion in the Able lands. Scarcely bad the
last of the thousands of letters embody-
Jng Governor Holcombs appeal been
mailed from .state headmiarters. at Hartr
ford, when the contributions : began to
pour in. Most of the contributions are
small, however, and the total of all re
ceived is not large.
Special collections are to be taken ror
the cause in many churches and Sunday
schools throughout Connecticut.. In ad
dition to these, Christmas pageants are
to bo given in many places, and in these
the tragic story of the destitute children,
made homeless by the upheaval in Asia
Minor, who can remain safe from . peril
only as continued support is afforded
from America, is to .be told by charac
ters representing the Armenian children
and their fellow sufferers, five: dollars
is sufficient to care for. a
child for a month; and 360 isjpnough to
provide for ljis care for a year. . .
Everything possible is being done to
relieve the suffering of the orphan chil
dren as the severe winter weather sets in,
according to information received indi
rectly from the Near East by State Di
rector E. H. McDonough. Were it not
for the recent massacres, by the Turks,
which added to the thousands of parent
less and homeless children, a the Near
East Relief expected to be able to protect
all the orphans, but the numbers of the
destitute have been multiplied by the most
recent Turkish outrages and it is , with
difficulty that enough . accommodations
are being found.
Many different Christian agencies are
co-operating in the humanitarian task of
saving the children. The. last cable from
abroad brought the news that the monas
teries of Mt. Athos In Greece have been
khrawn open to receive 3,000 shelterless
youngsters. Not any feminine, creature,
not. a cow, -not a mare, not even a hen,
may set foot on the sacred land of these
monasteries. But this strictest of mon
astic settlements has offered to take in.
