STATE REGENT AT D.A.R. MEETING Mrs. John Laidlaw Buell Reads In- teresting . Paper — Zwick-Schmidt Nuptials April 18—New - Baseball Teum Is Organized. ‘About a dozen memblers were proa- nt at an open conference held at he Kensington Congregutional church ast evening, which decided to.refer to the congregation the matter of in- pugurating an every-member canvass for missionary offerings in the parish. Accordingly, Rev. Carleton Hazea, the pastor, will announce .the plan from his pulpit next Sunday afid the members will be asked to be pre- pared to express their opinions at the morning worship on the ° following nday, Easter. ¢ If it is found that the majority of the congregation are in favor of hold- ing the stated campalgn here, final action will be taken on the measure ! by the ecclesiastical society when its meeting is held on April 13. The idea of the canvass is to raise nough money to pay the church's apportionment of missionary offerings, which is $330. This ‘money cannot be raised conveniently in any other way and, judging from the spirit manifested by the few who attended last night'a meeting, it is thought that the plan for a live campaign will materialize. About one months' time will be re- quired to arrange for the project, so If it is adopted by both the con- sregation and ecclesiastical soclety, work will be started near the middie of May.

APPEALS ARE NOT EXPECTED Undertaker McFlroy Will Get But $65 —Holy Name Soclety to Arrango for Lecture—Ministers Act on Rev. S, B, Lawson's Departure—Bricfs. Accepting the accounting of the ad- ministrator James J. Watson of New Britain, Probate Judge George R. Byington has sent notices to the creditors of the estate of Walter Welch advising them of the action taken on the claims. The estate was insolvent and some of the bills had to be cut down before the administra- tor could make a settlement. The ccurt has not as yvet been Informed as to whether the decislon Is satisfac- tory to the creditors but it is consider- ed unlikely that any of them will take an appeal. Welch's estate inventoried at but $126, yet it was one of the most diffi- cult to settle of any during Judge Ryington's administration. Several hearings were heard and there were frequent conferences between at- terneys for the creditors, none of which brought about an agreement, With the result that the court had to decide on the merits of the claims. Trouble in the 'settlement of the estate was brought about by James J. McNally, who held Welch's life in- surance policy. Some time before he died, Welch, unable to pay the pre- miums, is said to have turned over the policy to McNally with the under- standing that he would collect the in- surance at his death if he kept up the payments. McNally made regu- lar settlements with the insurance company thereafter but as he neglected to have the name of the beneficlary changed in the policy, the company paid the insurance to the administra- tor of the estate. o McNally put in & claim for the en- tire amount with the probate court. Lawyer Upson, representing Under- taker McElroy, who had presented a claim for $95 for funeral expenses, argued that McNally was not entitled to anything, while Attorney P. F. Mc- Donough, McNally’s lawyer, set up the ccntention that his client’s failure to get the necessary changes made in the policy should not cause his forfeiture of the insurance money. The conferences resulted in Mec- Elroy reducing his bill to $76. This was not satisfactory to McNaly's coun- sel and it was reported to the court that the creditgrs could not reach a compromise. Judge Byington in ac- cepting the administrator's report cut down the undertaker’s bill to $65 and authorized the payment to Mc- Nally of whatever amount remained after the other expenses were settled McNally’s share, it is figured, will be about $31. To Arrange for Lecture. At a special meéeting of the Holy Name society held last evening In the basement of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy a committee consist- ing of Joseph L. McDonald, Joseph Glynn, P. N. Prior, John J. Murphy and John Fitzgerald was appointed to make arrangements for a lecture and smoker to be given in the near future. The committee was in- structed to confer with the pastor, Rev. H. T. Walsh concerning the se- lection of a prominent speaker. The date of the lecture will con- form with the wishes of the speaker to be selected. The soclety voted to hold its next meeting in Forest- ville on Sunday, April 26, at 7 o’clock in the evening. The lecture com- mittee will meet next Wednesday evening in Plainville. Ministers Take Action.

An original member of this body, the counsels of Brother Lawson have been invaluable, and his co-operation in the variouns tasks un- dertaken by the assoclation has been a great asset to its work. We feel that by his departure we and the community in general suffer a distinct Joss. Yet recognizing that in the Christian ministry permanence of residence can never be assured, and that these changes are inevitable for us all, we congratulate ourselves on the period. it has been our privilege to enjoy the fellowship of Mr. Law- son, we wish him God-speed for the future, and assure him of our af- fection for him and interest in his work. And we take this opportun- ity of commending him to the min- istry and to the church at large, as an industrious student, a clear and progressive thinker, an excellent preacher, a faithful pastor, a good soldier in the cause of righteousness in every form, and a Christian gentle- man. We believe that he will do splendid work in the years to come, and it will ever be a privilege to re- call his membership in our body, and his work in furtherance of the gospel among us.” New Books at Library.

Johnson, who has announced himself as a sewer advocate. Mr. Johnson be- lleves that the town is greatly in need of such an improvement and he thinks the district should make the necessary arrangements at once. “The annual meeting of the voters will be held Monday evening and it Is expected that the selectman will have somethihg to say in favor of the prop- osition, Mr. Johnson is of the opinion that even if the district is not prepared to start work on the sewer at this time, it might be a good plan to have something done on the fliter beds. This would give employment to sev- eral citizens who at present are out of work. The selectman has received applications for work on the roads within the past few weeks, but he has been able to engage only a few men. May Have Been Insane. That John Bender of New Britain whose mangled body was found on the raflroad tracks near Hamlin's crossing vesterday ‘morning, was in sane when he met his horrible death is the opinion of Medical Examiner T. G. Wright, formed after a careful investigation of the strange case. Dr. Wright believes that while demented Bender walked on the tracks from New Britain to Plainville and either jumped in front of a train or was ac- cidentally struck. Although Bender's body was prac- tically naked when it was found, not a great deal of attention was paid to the absence of the clothing as it was thought that it had been torn off by the train and probably carried a con-. siderable distance from the man's mangled form. It was not untll yesterday after- noon that any clews were obtainea by the medical examiner. About 1 o'clock he wds advised that a man's hat and coat had been found by lab- orers at the Connecticut Quarries company’s plant at White Oak. Later he heard of the discovery of* a pair of trousers which were left on a fence post near the raflroad tracks. In the pockets were found $4 in money and a pay check of the Vul- can Tron Works of New Britain and made in favor of employe “No. 26.” At the factory office it was found that the owner was Bender and a further investigation revealed that it was he who had been killed. iriends could not recall having seen the man since he left his board- ing ‘house Wednesday morning, pre- sumably to go to work. It is thought that he berame insvriv and wn'e wa'king toward Plammitide in tho evening slipped off his clothes as he travelled and finglly came to his death under tho wheels of a' passing train, Bender is'said to have been a man of steady habits and a capable work- man. His horrible death and its attending circumstances 1s a deep mystery to his friends who can offer no theory except that formed by the medical examiner.
