MANCHESTER SECTION 
Mrs. C. A. Hatch has been in Ban- 
gor since last Thursday, called there 
by the death of a relative. 
Mrs. A. G. T. Smith spent Monday 
in Providence, R. I., where she was a 
guest of her sister, Mrs. Charles 
Dodge. 
Mr. and Mrs. Michael EF. Gorman, 
who have been visiting Mrs. Gor- 
man’s sister in Cambridge, are in Bev- 
erly for the balance of the winter. 
It is understood that Dr. Murphy, 
who has been located at Beverly 
Farms since last summer, is to open 
a branch office in Manchester, and will 
spend a portion of his time here each 
day. 
The Breeze voices the protest of 
the people of Manchester against the 
action of former District Attorney 
Atwill of Essex County, now At- 
torney General of the Commonwealth, 
in nol pros-ing the arson case of 
Michael G. Revelas. It will be re- 
called Revelas was arrested after the 
fire at the Hamilton house on Wash- 
ington street a year and a half ago, 
and he was held for the grand jury, 
a bill having been found, his case 
was to come up sometime soon. Chief 
ef Police Sullivan was a very much 
surprised man a few days ago when 
he learned that the retiring district 
attorney has crossed the case off the 
list. This seems a strange action, to 
say the least. Next to murder, arson 
is one of the most serious of crimes. 
The Town of Manchester is the 
plaintiff in this case, and Revelas is 
the defendent. The district attorney 
representing the people of Manches- 
ter may have felt he could throw the 
case out of court, but the citizens of 
this town want to know why they 
should be treated in this manner. 
Manchester pays a generous share of 
the money used in running the county, 
in paying for the courts and in pay- 
ing the district attorney’s salary, and 
they have a right to know why a crime 
committed in its borders should be 
ignored and cast to one side by the 
man it hires to prosecute such crime. 
The selectmen of the town, as repre- 
senting the people, owe it to the peo- 
ple to demand that this case be re- 
opened by the district attorney’s 
office.

of any individuals in town, who care 
to help in this state-wide movement

Manchester Branch of the Anti-Suf- 
frage association, attended the lunch- 
eon which Mrs. William Lowell Put-

some very interesting speakers such 
as Mrs. Putnam herself, Mrs. Cod- 
man, Miss Godfrey, Mrs. Beals Rob- 
inson and Mrs. John Balch. At an 
informal meeting of the newly organ- 
ized Study Club at Mrs. Harry Pur- 
ington’s home on School street this
