Is Booked For The Parade f Veet Haven, Conn.. Aug. 26 The Siate Fireman's Association held its -annual convention here, today, as the euests of the- local companies. The day was given up "chiefly to the trans action of the business of the "associa tion,, including reading of reports and ' election of officers. Tomorrow will be the '. show,, day -"when lire , companies from various sections of the state will take part , in the annual parade. At the conclusion of the day's busi ness, this afternoon, the delegates will attend a memorial service to be held at Christ church. ' - Considerable interest was manifested in the me"eting of the credentials com mittee' which preceded; the - opening of the convention &b there were con testing delegations from Naugatuck. Recently, the borough authorities of Naugatuck ordered the Naugatuck Hooker Hose and Ladder Company No. 1, 'incorporated, toJ Vacate the premises which it had occupied as a flre . company of the . borough. This the fire company declined- to- do, assert ing that the borough board was ex ceeding its powers.. More recently, the borough authorities organized a new company to take, the place of the old one and this is known as Naugatuck Fire Department No. 1. .The old comDany has sent as its delegate ! to the convention ForemanJ Peter J.. Foley, ana tne new company, Willard Selleck. The former bears cre dentials from his company' but not froril 'Fire Chief Clerk,1 while Selleck has 'credentials from that official. Fo ley's claim to a' seat i3 based on the fact that his company has paid its dues for a year. The new company, it is ;stated, also holds a receipt for a year's dues and on the'; ground that its delegate bears1 credentials from the fire chief and its possession-'-of a due receipt claimed a place 'in the con vention. - 1 ' ' President John D. "Milne,- In his re port, sa(d that claims made during the year upon 'state funds far exceeded those plaoed at the disposal of the as sociation by the state. The last con vention named -Secretary R. V. Ma ge, George S. Pitt, John C. - Moran, Thomas rennison and John Mime a a legislative committee for. the pur pose of securing an increased appro priation. The success of the commit tee is reported upon by the secretary. President Milne said none too much credit can be given Robert V. Magee for his servicee in pushing the matter before the legislature. "Being a mem ber of that body, he was able to keep in touch with the work and to take ad vantage of every possible point which would help us in gaining our ends,'! he said.- - ' ' - - Reference was made to the various reports as showing, the ; substantial standing of the association. . Secretary Magee, in -his report, ' show ed that claims for benefits had -been quite heavy inhe rear. The comptroller's- orders totalled $11,129.28. He said:" ' '" "It appeared early in the-year that funds in hand would be exhausted long before the appropriation of 1913 be came aVailable, viz:, . October 1. 1913. Scon after the legislature convened in January, a bill was- introduced by ex President MacDonald, of Putnam, call ing -for a deficiency appropriation of $5,000. v This bill passed both houses early in the session and we have b 'en paying claims from that appropriation since May 1, of this year. Another bill introduced by ex-President Mac Donald was passed . increasing the amount of orders which may be drawn J annually from $10,000 to. $12,000. This appropriation i3 based on payments which we have been called upon to make' during the past few years, with a margin for .future increases. Last year or the year 1911-1912, we ran over $1,000 per month. , For the present year, the average per month is $927.44. With our appropriation increased in' the sum of $2r0JJ0 annually and the special fund appropriation of $1,000 annually, the to tal amount of the fund from which we can draw, commencing October 1, for the two years following, will be $2, 000. The association account shows a gratifying gain. Since the last conven tion, the deaths of "William Squires, Waterbury, 'George Lally, Ansonia, and Lieut. J. L. ' Cronap, Bridgeport, have occurred." " , i The secretary recommended the set tingvapart of a portion of the reports in the future to a tribute to departed members. The '"mew organizations in the mem mership are three companies In Terry ville and Truck Company No. 1, Tax payers' Club, Incorporated. The mem bership, May 1, in companies was 275 and in department members 172, mak ing a total of 447.

Charles' Hall. President Joseph Ivers of the .society explained in a few well chosen words the object 6f the special meeting. " It was to em brace the opportunity of hearing a few words of parting from their es teemed ' and respected chaplain and treasurer, Rev, John Callahan. Presi dent Ivers expressed the sentiments of all present and in fact of all the par ishioners when he .spoke of the regret they felt at losing-- Father Callahan, but rejoiced with him in his promo yon which came as a well-merited re- ward for his labors. Father Callahan, in the course of his remarks,, told of the pleasures he had enjoyed in his curacy in Bridge port; bo(th in St. Mary's when he first came to this city, and later, when the parish, was divided, among many of hia old friends' itt.St. Charles'. He told of the regret he felt at leaving what he regarded aa home, after his 10, ears'. iabpr here. But,, he said, that his new fieid of labors was in "deed a promotion for iiim and afford ed him much gratification. One of the hardest things' for , him to leave behind, was the parochial school, of, which he was principal since its in ception some years ago, and which has made an enviable record among the schools of the-eity. He closed his remarks, by thanking heartily ail who have co-operated with him and with the late pastor during the upbuilding of St Charles' Darish. .. After Father Callahan had" left Jthe nail, the business of the meeting was resumed. It appeared "to be the senti ment of the meeting that something substantial should be done for Father Callahan as e- token of the esteem in which he is held by his" parishioners. xnerefore, it was voted that a testi monial be presented to him .upon his departure to Washington, Conn., dater in the week. A committee of 21 was appointed by the ch,air to arrange lor this. The. meeting, adjourned until next Friday when the committee will make its report. - Naugatuck, Aug. 26.

' Reckless Driving (Proven ; speeding upon Fairfield ave nue or State St. at a rate of 30miles or more, though there, is no congestion of traffic, is reckless driving-, and though these may be main arteries, vehicles coming from the side streets have the established right-of-way and must be respected bv drivers in accordance with the local- ordinances. This was the decision made by Judge Coiighlln In the city court today when he fined L. ..B. Patterson, of .ISS Temple street, New Haven, chauffeur for G. W.. Wild in, $30 and cos.ts for an offense com mitted on August 16. , - Motorcycle Patrolman Clifford Gor gas testified that Patterson drove from Ash Creek to the viaduct at over 30 miles per. hour, while between Iranis tan and Park avenues he maintained a similar speed. There were three trucks upon the street, which was partially closed. Witnesses for the defence, in troduced by Attorney J. F.' Berry, of New Haven, including . Mrs. Wildin, differed In their opinion as to the speed", estimating , it variously art be tween 15 and 30 miles. ' It was shown that Fatterson.'.attending school In the winter time, had driven a car four con secutive summers. ;' In asking the release of -the accused, 'Attorney Berry admitted the prima facia evidence of SO miles an hour, Dut contended such" was not reckless driv ing where it did not endanger traffic. The court held that avoidance of ac cident was fortunate as according to the local ordinance vehicles proceed ing north and south had right of way over those going east or west as would be the case on State street or Fair field avenue. An appeal was taken from the fine tmder bonds of $30. Pat terson, was paroled upon the recogniz ance of Mrs. Wlldin. .
