German Gun Controversy Scatters Authority in Boston
Major General Clarence R. Edwards said only an act of Congress could transfer the 220 millimeter German howitzer on Boston Common to Connecticut. Mayor David E.

Governor Holcomb had asked for shipment to Hartford, but the general rejected the request. New Haven’s mayor had sent the demand to the War Department.
