- NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, TEAGHER BENENED HER ASSASSNATIR “Miss Beceher Tried 10 Have Giami Sent to George Junior vRupuhiic. Auburg, N. Y., April 1.—That Miss Lida. L. Beecher, the teacher killed by Jean ‘Gianini, sixteen years old, at Poland, Herkimer county, in re- venge because he had been expelled from school, took such an interest in the boy that she was trying to have him admitted to the George Junior Republic, was shown by a letter made public here last night. The letter which Miss Beecher sent to the George Junior Republic in trying to find a haven for her wayward girl was taken to confirm the assertion of members of the /Beecher family that Lida had noth- ing to do with the commitment of Glanini to the Catholic Protectory in Utica. The father, Rev. W. A. Beecher, through his son, Willis, said last night: “Lida was interested in Jean be- cause he was a backward boy ana was held by some as a scapegoat. She was intensely interested in her teaching work, and this boy offered a prablem for her to solve. She haa made application to get him into the Junior Republic, but the matter was mever completed.” Miss Beecher’s letter follows: “I was very much impressed with the work done for and by the boys and girls of your republic when I ‘was visiting with a group of Cortland Normal girls three years ago.

CHEERFUL (CREDIT HEvery woman should know this great - convenience. Open “'an account and select what you you room for another citizen, a boy of fifteen years? He is a good- hearted boy, one of my pupils last year and one of my most interesting boys. His mother died when he was too young to remember and left his father with Jean, the boy, and an older sister to care for, in New York city. Jean’s father married again. The boy’s father finally thought it best to move up into the country here but it, of course, seemecd pretty dull for such city-bred children and the girl returned to New York. “The father thinks a lot of the boy and has tried to do what he could for him. As I have said, Jean was one of my pupils last year. He dis- | likes school work. He got a working certificate with his father's consent and went to work in the mills, four miles from here, He became restless. I don’t know what the trouble was, but he drew $5 and started to go somewhere away from home. He went to Buffalo, New York, Philadel- phia, Albany and Lyons, among other places, but he got no work. 'Finally he called upon some humane society. They found out who he was, and he was sent to the Catholic Reform school in Utica. On his return he did not like it here and had nothing in view. “If he could get into some place like the George Junior Republic, where he received a little Kind treat- ment ag well as hard work it would be fine for him. He responds to kindness very readily. He is not a bad boy by any means. He is simply unhappy at home, but he is ambitious and has other fine aqualities that would develop if he only had a little guidance to show him that he really could amount to something if he chooses to. “I had a little talk with Jean to- night about the place. Jean seemed to be quite interested when I ex- plained as well as I could what was expected of him. Would you please send circulars of your school, for I am pretty sure that Jean’s father, who is well educated and wants to make something out of his only son, would be delighted. “LIDA L.

In answer to a question as to what the British government could do to the women whom they imprisoned, Miss Pethick replied: “Let them die.” Then she added that she was never so happy in her life as when she thought she had been so reduced by forcible feed- ing that the end appeared near. Miss Margaret Hodgé, who is with Miss Pethick, also made an address. The women are going to oppose Mr. Asquith in his coming fight for elec- tion, she said. FARMERS ARE INTERESTED.

J. F. ADAMS IS RETURNED HERE Rev. £ A Dent Succeeds Rev. W. W. Bowdish as Superintendent. Rev. Dr. J. E. Adams has been re- turned to the pastorate of the New Britain Methodist church for an- other year, following the request made by the official board and the willing- ness of the pastor. Bishop Luther REV. DR. J. E. ADAMS. B. Wilson, of the New York East conference, last night announced over 100 changes in his pastoral ap- pointments and his list contained the usual number of surprises. The most important surprise was the announce- ment that W. W. Bowdish, district superintendent, has been relieved by the Rev. Elmer A. Dent, of New Ha- ven. Rev.-Mr. Bowdish has been as- signed to the pulpit of the - Ocean Parkway church. % Reports read showed that during the past year there has been an in- crease of only eighteen members in all the churches represented in the con- ference. The number of members totals 65,869 at the present time. The value of all the parsonages connected with churches is now $1,339,600, an increase of $126,700 over last year. Contribution to the proposed relief fund' for underpaid country' clergy- men’ will be only voluntary among thdse pastors.whose salaries are more than $1,000 each. This fund will be created through assessments of one per cent. of such salaries, but the trend: of remarks of speakers showed that the tax is not to be a compul- sory one. ; The' Rev. L. B. Gray has been. se- lected to flif the pulpit of the East Berlin Methodist church and the Plainville. Methodist church will have a new clergyman, the Rev. F. W. Smith. The Rev. E. M. Pickop, pas- tor of the Kensington Metho- dist church, will remain in his present position for another year. PRESIDENT AWARDS MEDAL. A. C.

A SURE WAY T0 END DANDRUFF Stop Falling Hair and Ttching Scalp— At Once. There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need) ap- ply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips, By morning, most if not all, of your dandruftf will be gone, and three or fcur more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be flufty, lustrous, glos- sy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you value your hair, you should get rid of dandruff at once, for noth- ing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes {t stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeleces, and everybody notices it, 1914.
