It is supposed that the men of the Newfoundland were almost all at work in parts of the field that broke up under the lashing of the storm. Captain Kean of the New- foundland sent out wireless calls for help, and the Stephano, the Florizel and the Bellaventure aided in the rescue work. CONNECTICUT IS " NOT DISAPPOINTED It Did Not Expect To Get One of the Federal Reserve ‘Headquarters. (Special to the Herald.) ‘Washington, D. C.,, April 4.—Con- necticut did not expect to get one of the federal reserve headquarters in one of its cities and therefore is not disappointed by the announcement from the treasury department regard- ing the location of thése banks. Connecticut is in the federal re- serve_district which has its headquar- ters in Boston. The organization com- mittee does not give any indication regarding the establishment of branch banks of the district federal banks and therefore it is too early to indicate in what cities these branch banks will be'located. It seems reasonable to there will be at least one branch bank in Connecticut and it might come about that two will be estab- Iished. In case two branches are es- tablished in Connecticut, ,it is not unlikely that Bridgeport and Hart- ford would be fixed upon as the cities in which they should be established. In cage, only one bank is established, it might be in either of those cities or in New Haven. There is strong argument for establishment of a. branch bank in the section 'of the state near New York. In the past, the Connecticut banks have been closely connected with New York and to have a branch suppose the terfere less with the previous and present course of business than to have a branch in Hartford. | SHOTS PROVE FATAL.

Hartford, April 4.—Assignment was made yesterday in the superior court of the trial date of the $390,000 dam- age suit against the directors of the defunet Windsor Lock Savings bank. The date is Tuesday, April 28, and it will come before Judge Willlam L. Bennett. The action was brought in Decem- ber 1912, by the bank commissioners, Fred P. Holt and Morris S. Lippitt in their capacity as receivers of the bank and is based on alleged liability of the directors for the defalcations of the late A. W. Converse, who was treasurer of the bank for forty years.

PRESIDENT NEMIRO MAKES SPEECH Judge B. F. Gaffney Presents Diplo- mas to Pupils and Gives Words of Advice and Encouragement (o Graduating Class. Fifty-two bright young boys and girls, who from force of circum- stances were compelled to forsake thelr schooling in order to begin their life’s work with the laboring sea of humanity but who were de- termined that ere they breasted the crest of the outer world they should receive as much education as possi- ble, were graduated from the New Britain Night school last night, hay- ing satisfactorily passed the pre- scribed counse. These boys and girls, most of them in their early teens, have nearly all attended their night school classes faithfully during the past two winters and have appliea themselves diligently to their studies. The first of their rewards came last night in the form of a diploma, but their real reward will come in later life when they will reap the harvest of having at least a fair education. Principal J. C. Moody presided at the exercises and the diplomas were pre- sented by Judge Gaffney. The gradu- ates’ many friends and relatives packed the large auditorium at the Grammar school, where the exercises were held. i President’s Address of Welcome. President Henry Niemiro delivered a well put together address of wele come and was loudly applauded for his work. His words of greeting wera well chosen and he spoke as follows: “Here and there throughout our country, a kindly people have made sober settlements. We know of the sect as Quakers. But they have a tenderer name, for they love to call themselves the Society of Friends. A happy phrase, is it not? “And it is to you, citizens of New Britain, as to a Society of Friends, that we give hearty welcome. For, by your generous help, by your warn interest in .all of our affairs, you have proved yourselves in deed and truth, our friends. “Though we come from different teachers, yet tonight we are class. mates. Today our aim and purpose are one—to reveal to you your kindly thought for us has not been in vain'and to fulfill in part, at least, the plans you have aided In making. “As we look back, we remember mistakes, misunderstandings of course but on the whole there are pleasant memories. We could not if we would, know what the future holds in store. It is for us to decide whether we shall conquer or be conquered; whether we, like the Spartan lad of old, shall return home, bearing our shields with honor, or lying beaten upon them. 5 “We know that success or failure is not for us alone. It means joy or sorrow to the many relatives, friends and teachers to whose loving care and thought we owe so much. We wish to come to the brave realization that it is neither success nor failure in itself that counts. It is rather how either is borne. May we make of each fall- ure a success by following Riley’s blithe example: “The inner side of every cloud Is always bright and shining, And so I turn my clouds about Ang always turn them inside out, To show the lining.” Following the delivery of his ad- How To Save Your Eyes Try This Free Prescription.

You may be one of these, and it is your duty to save your { eves before it s too late. The eyes are neglected more than any other organ of the entire body.

Class Ofticers. The officers of the class were: President—Henry Edward Niemiro, Vice President—Mae E. Hilton. Treasurer—Alexander Eugene Fan. ion. Secretary—Hildur M. Anderson. The class colors were blue and gold amd the motto was “Hope For the Best and Constantly Work For It.” Graduation Exercises. The graduation program was one of music and recitations. Kraus' orchestra furnished music and a vio- lin and piano duet was played by William Reuther and Ralph Benoit. In their recitations all of those who took part in the exercises did well Agnes E. From recited ‘‘Seeing Things” and “The Wind.” Mae Hilton recited “The Lie” in a pleasing manner and Leon A. Kraus and Mary E. Lickwar were good in their dialogue from Miles Standish, by Longfellow. Charles A. Wacker's was the last recitation on the pro- gram and he spoke on ‘“Making a Man of the Boy.” Judge Gaffney Speaks. Judge Bernard F. Gaffney, presi- dent of the school board, presented the diplomas to the graduates and in his address spoke in part as follows: “The pupils of the Evening schools always have a pecullar and excep- tional interest to me. You Yyoung men and women have realized your needs; you have also perceived your opportunity, and were quick to seize it. Here you have studied under wise direction, night after night, after the work of the day. You have avoided or allowed to pass by the chance of an evening's entertainment, or an hour's. pleasant companionship with dear friends or neighbors. This in a degree was effort, self-denial and sacrifice. “Young men and women who, of their own free will, can do this have | the right kind of material in them. “Now as an illustration is some- times better than words, I going to show you what a man how living, with whom I am unacquainted, has done under ocircumstances more ad- verse than yours. Occasionally when 1 was in New York city, as I walked or rode down lower Broadway in a surface car, by the great stores there located, my eye was attracted to a store window. A row of pine trees of uniformly increasing size was painted on one of the windows. The sign made a lasting impression on my mind. Later I ascertained what this row of different sized trees signified, and I also learned about the person owning it. An Immigrant’s Rapid Rise. “I found the owner was a man who had come at the age of twelve years, 4n 1871, to America, an immigrant, orphan boy. He immediately set to work at the small wage of $2.560 per week, and rose by degrees to be man- ager of his employer's store, In 1891 he embarked ih business for him- self in a small way. He was jn the wholesale millinery and his business, increased@ by novel and judicious ad- vertising, till he had to move six times from large to larger stores. He adopted as a trade mark the green pine tree, and’ with each removal to a larger store he added another pine tree of larger growth to the row, which explained the meaning of his pine tree trade mark, which was: ‘Ag I live I grow.” He retired from busi- ness last year with a fortune of over a million dollars, Is a Nom. Type. 3 “This man is a noble type, a splen- did pattern; a poor, unlearned foreign-~ born, orphan boy, who, by industry, hard work and patient study, day and day, night and night, improved him- self while others slept or idled away their time. His motto, ‘As I live L grow,” ‘became and was the rule of his mental, moral and business life. He developed and became a man of splendid character, broad mind and absolute integrity. “The illustration shows what each of you can do for yourself. But it demands honest work, honest to your employer, and honest and true to yourself. The young man or, woman with an idle mind becomes a source of evil to himself or herself. Industry is necessary to healthy growth, and this industry must g0 on in the pres- ent, now. The young man or woman who promises to' do the right thing tomorrow will never do anything or get anywhere.” of the Class.
