BALL Mr. Griswolil a Native of Windsor, Came to Brooklyn in Youth. When Stephen M. Griswold came to Brookivn he was lli years of age, his birthplace having been Windsor, and the date November 22, 1S3d. Windsor is frequently referred to as "Old Windsor." It was one of the first settlements made in the colony and was Intended as the capital of the State, but finally was outclassed by Hartford, ten miles eastward.

In his boyhood Mr. Griswold attended the Cunpregatiunal Church in Windsor. One of the members of this church had been Oliver Ellsworth, who was Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, under President John Sidney Aiiums. The congregational church of Windsor was typical of New England, and Stephen A. i I it 1 (Ja assessments, it was were far in excess or the benefit derived by IhnSS Cflllori mnn.r In Policeman Says He Was Therefore Assaulted in Theater.

stances they exceeded the awards. SHOP To show their esteem for Frank A. Glrard und to extend to him their best wishes for success in his new venture as a theatrical producer, 800 of his friends gathered last night at the Hotel Shelburne, Brighton Beach, to attend the dinner given tn his honor. Tho affair signalized the. temporary retirement of Mr.

Glrard as manager of the Orpheum on the eve of his entrance into the theatrical field as a producer of shows. The popular Brooklyn theater manager has affiliated himself with the K-G Company, which has leased the Brighton Beach Music Hall for the summer. Believing that sufficient interest has been aroused among the public to warrant the establishment of the musical comedy show on its former plane, Mr. Glrard has undertaken to revive performances of this character during the summer. Starting with George M.

Cohan's "The Yankee Prince," which will open the seaside showhouse on Saturday evening, June 10, other successful plays that have stirred Broadway in the past will be given under the supervision of Mr. Girard. Throughout the evening Mr. Girard was kept fully occupied receiving the congratulations of his well-wishers, so much so that he was barely given sufficient time to partake of the dinner. It was an Informal affair In fact, it was one big, jolly party.

During the dinner the guests enjoyed the performance of "Splash Me 1916," which was followed by dancing. Between dances the diners were entertained by a coterie of professionals, who were. it noes not appear to me," said Justice Asplnall in a memorandum filed today, "that the property owners herein have obtained any particular benefit from these proceedings, for the reason thflt lh. na at nMe.l constituted have been in use for many in inu.u nni (i i pti a i i uc. lie If.fl hntllM In hid fiii-tima liie years and the property owners are satisfied with the same.

His first- employment which he secured by personal application from door to door, w.is a clerkship in a grocery store at the foot of Atlantic street, which became better known as Atlantic avenue.

The store was opposite the Long Island lluilroad terminal station on tho south side of the ferry South Ferry.

Mr. Griswold's views on the subject of peace, as expressed by him In The Brooklyn Eagle, in the latter was that he had arrived at the conviction "that the human race is not capable of governing itself peaceably." Ex-President Roosevelt had written to him that fighting, or something like It, was the surest way to Insure peace.

Another notable event was the Plymouth Church excursion (in April. lS6j. of which Mrs. Griswold was a decision In the cases of sixteen delegates, nine from Georgia and seven chairman) to Fort Sumter, to help again raise to the topmast on the May 21, 1915. representing Colonel Wood at the raising of Old Glory on Fort Sumter at the close of the War of the Rebellion.

He had been at the actual occurrence. One of Mr. Griswold's most cherished possessions was a cloth which was used In bandaging Lincoln head after he was shot. In IflOfi Mr. Grihwold pave a num ber of beautiful memorial windows to from Alabama.

The Henry S. JacKson delegation from Georgia were awarded seats and the seven protests in Alabama were settled by the seating of six reg.ilar dclegates-at-large and a protesting delegate from the Ninth Congressional District. The committee also voted to place the delegates from Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines on the temporary roll with the recommendation that they be given votes. The Louisiana contest, involving twelve delegates was the first taken up today. It will be followed by the contests in Mississippi, Missouri and North Carolina, in the order named.

The fight in the Louisiana delegation today is between the so-called "Lily Whites" and the "Black and as has been the case at many former committee meetings preceding national conventions. The contesting delegations were chosen at separate the tunnel was a little west of Bocrum place, the entrance to which, from Fulton street, years later, when Jefferson Hull, the Democratic headquarters, was built, was given a supposedly more aristocratic name Court Square by those to whom lioerum was something of a mystery. From the foot of Atlantic street Mr. Griswold changed his place of employment to a position in New York City, of which he had learned through an advertisement in The Brooklyn Eagle, the only newspaper published here then, except a sum II sheet called the Long Island Star owned by Alden J. Spooner, and printed In Orange street.

Tho moat important banks in Lirooklyn then were on lower Fulton street or on Front street, near Fulton, and all near The Brooklyn Eagle liuilding. which was at that time only a few hundred yards from Fulton Ferry. Mr. Griswold's first employment in Xew York was in the cutlery business. Not long after he went to a Jewelrj concern, and there he found the first real inspiration for a business life.

In the jewelry business at 65 Nassau street and 6 Maiden Lane he remained until the last, retaining continually en interest in the business, but retiring from active management of it about the time he reached the Biblical age of three score and ten. He had been In business for himself since he was 24 years of age. In later life he became a banker of considerable influence, in addition to his jewelry interests. (icorjrc Allen hlculcr.

This excursion was the result of meetings tu the Brooklyn Academy of under the auspices of an organization of which Mr. Griswold was president. Mr. Griswold was also on the Quaker City excursion, visiting the Holy Land and European countries.

It was during this tour abroad that Moses S. Beach, a former proprietor of the New York Sun. and always an active member of Plymouth Church, purchased an cjllvn tree at the foot of the Mount of Olives, near the Garden of Gethsemane, and brought it to Brooklyn, and from it had the pulpit furniture of Plymouth church made and presented it to the congregation.

Griswold was the correspondent of The Brooklyn Eagle on tho excursion and had taken notes freely to "cover his assignment."

Twain wanted to "write up" the excursion for the Alta Califomian and a New York paper, and thanked Mr. Griswold for his readv aid.
