NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1914, GOV, BALDWIN'S IDEAL OF CHURCH UNITY Executive Advocates Single Christian O:ganization With Short Creed. Hartford, Conn., May 28.—A sin- gle church organization every body of Christian an@ with a short creed, was the ideal of a church unity advanced by Gov- ernor Simeon E. Baldwin last night in an address at the annual dinner of St. John'’s Episcopal club here. “An annual dinner is a good fea- ture of every human association,” sald the governor, “but it is pecu- liarly an appropriate thing in church society or brotherhood. To meet around a common table for a friendly conference during a com- mon meal is a token of that brother- hood which belongs, in some meas- ure and ought to belong in larger measure, to every church organiza- ation of whatever name. “But there is also a larger broth- erhood outside of any = particular Christian church, There is a holy catholic church in which every par- ticular Christian church—call it what you will—is included. I wish that.we made more of it. Church Unity “A large movement has set in within the last twenty years toward uniting the Christian church. It is to the credit of the church of Eng- land that she initiated it at what we know' as the Lambeth conference. "It was ‘at a meeting not long ago for the discussion of the subject be- tween a committee of the general churches of Connecticut and repre- sentatives of the Protestant Episco- pal churches of Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts. It was held in this city at the house of Bishop Brewster. We had a full and frank talk over plans and possibilities and came to the conclusion that the ob- stacles to the ultimate union of those two churches in some form of church, broader than either, were not In- superable, Nreed United Purpose. “Why should they be? What Iis the essential thing in a church of Christ? Is it not a united purpose to follow His teachings; to join in public worship of God as manifested through Him to us; and to proclaim what we received from Him—the simple gospel of the God and brotherhood of man? “I look forward to the time—per- haps centuries hence—when Christian men shall have finally shaken them- seclves free from the influence of the dark ages and the middle ages, when there will be again ¢ne single organ- ization known' ds the ‘catholic church, not the Roman Catholic, but em- bracing the ‘Bpiscopdl; not the Con- gregational, the. Baptist,.the Presby- terian or Methodist, but embracing every body of Christian believers. The creed will be a short one. There may be constitient groups of church- es differing in their relations to the universal church. In one group bish- ops may advise; in another. com- mand. . In one group no bishop may be recognized; in another bishops of equal power; in another bishops of differing power; in one of them per- haps a bishop in whom is centered the highest power. Names Are Unintelligible. “When we now send our mission- aries abroad to foreign lands, we send them as Congrégationalis or Presbyterians, or Episcopalians, or Lutherans, but their denominational names are unintelligible to those to whom they go. = They are’ divisive in their spirit and.effect;. “In Japan ‘they 'h#ve already or- ganized what they ‘call the Kumai church, which is breader and more comprehensive than any one of the denominational churches which have been competing there for the lead. I wish that kind of church.could be set up in other Oriental lands. In India another form of comprehensive union has been -recently adopted. '*Adl these things look to me as it the day were: dawning for a -wider outlook and inlook as to what Chris- tianity really is, and how its spread can be best promoted.” embracing believers, PUTS OUT DANGER SIGNAL. Comptroller H., L. Curtis has an- nounced that in the future he will re- fuge to allow the municipal ice com- mittee to draw another dollar over its appropriation. The committee has already disposed of $11,900. Comp-~ troller Curtis will not permit any more to be spent until he sees where it is coming from. The committee ' will meet tonight and will award the contract for the comstruction of a distribution plant on Commercial street. The plant will' be slightly smaller than was originally planned. RESIDENTS UP IN ARMS, Property owners and residents liv- ing in the vicinity of the Harvara street plot recently purchased by the water ' department are considerably intensed because the department, in grading the lot, caused surface wa- ter to accumulate in pools on ad- joining property. Corporation Coun- sel J. B. Cooper has-advised the de- partment that it had a legal right to do _the grading despite the fact that the work caused water to back up on other properties.. The residents claim that the department did not haye the moral right to create a breeding place for mosquitoes ana germs even if it had the legal right 0 do so. The corporation counsel Advises ithat a storm water drain be installed to take care of the surface Water. The matter is being consid- ‘w by the board of public works. _Safety Commissiginer R. R.

May 28.—Willara Straight of New York, president ot the American Asiatic association, who was a representative of the American banking group in China during the recent loan negotiations, discussed au the National Foreign Trade conven- tion here yesterday the influence ou American investment abroad in ex- tending the foreign trade. “We should aim,” he said, “to de- velop public opinion to approve the use of our national investng power for the extension of our trade.” He discussed particularly ‘Washington, the “‘debtor nations” of Central and South | America. Anticipated By President, “President Wilson in his Mobile speech,” 'he said ‘“anticipated the day when, through the beneficent in- fluence of the United States these weaker states to the south would be enabled to borrow on their national credit and. no longer be. obliged to grant concessions.” This was an ob- ject, Mr. Straight argued, which could be attained only by placing un- der foreign supervision the customs houses of such financially em- barrassed countries to assure a regu- lar revenue to meet the service of loans which these republics now need. ‘Without such security, he continued, except in the case of railways which the lenders could control, neither Eu- ropean nor American bankers will loan money to these countries on or- dinary financial terms. “If we desire to avoid complica~ tions with European powers and de- velop our own export and import trade in the Caribbean sea, we must by means of foreign loans, establish ourselves as the guardians of the fi- nancial stability as well as the terri- torial integrity of some of our south- ern neighbors. There should be ef- fective co-operation between the gov- ernment, the bankers, the merchants, the manufacturers and the public. This would enable the government to adopt a definite policy and to declare that proper diplomatic support woula be given to promoters and investors in foreign loans, the term of which haa been submitted to and approved by the department of state and congress. Contention Not Justified. “It might be objected that in enun- clating such a policy the govern- ment would pledge itself to use the army and the navy to exact interest payments due individual American in- vestors. Such a contention, however, is scarcely justified. Just as debtors® prisons have been dbolished in civil- ized countries, so international opin- jon deprecates the collection of debts by military pressure. Private con. tracts are enforced by the courts, and international differences, thanks to the Increasing recognition of the economic waste of wars, are now gen- erally adjusted by diplomacy and ar- bitration. “It is becoming increasingly evi- dent that because of International character and its democratic founda- tions world finance must be regardea as a guarantee of world peace and commercial development, rather than the means by which the strong are enabled to exploit the weaker na- tions.” WILL INSPECT SCHOOD. Architect Jackson of Waterbury will be engaged by the committee on permanent school accommodations of the school board to inspect the prevocational school while it is un- der construction. The committee met yesterday and decided to engage Mr. Jackson. The committee also examined samples of locks and keys made in this city which will be used in the new bullding. LOST HER DAST CENT.

YP'S WIDOW UNVELS SECRETS OF GUNMEN Grand Jury Begins Investigation of Testimony of “Strong Arm Squad.” New York, May 28.—The of he Sing Sing death house at the time that Charles Becker was in com- munication with the gunmen that killed Herman Rosenthal are being revealed to the district atlorney. Mrs. Harry Horowitz, widow of Gyp the Blood, went to the district attors ney's office voluntarily yesterday ana spent an hour with Assistant District Attorney Delehanty. Neither Mr. Whitman nor Mr. Delehanty woula discuss the statement made by Mrs. Horowitz, but there was a pretty de- finite impression in the criminax courts building that she confirmed the statements made by Mrs. Lillian Rosenberg, Lefty Loule's widow, that Becker held out false hopes to the gunmen. Whitman Fortifying Himself. Mrs. Horowitz's information, that of Mrs. Rosenberg, would be valuable to the prosecutor only in the event that the court of appeals again reversed the conviction of Becker. - The district attorney. how- ever, Is fortifying himself at all points. 1f Martin T. Manton, Beck- er's chief counsel, attempts to show that Dago Frank exonerated Becker Mr. Whitman will be in position to show that Gyp the Blood and Lefty Louie incriminated him_ The grand jury began yesterday an investigation of the testimony giv- en by members of Becker's strong arm squad. The grand jury has been asked to determine whether or not the policemen who testified for Beck- er told the truth. The only witnes: yesterday was Joseph Shepherd, who Was dismissed from the department after the first Recker trial. His test- mony was asked for as a part of the plan arranged between District Ator- | nev Whitman and Police Commission- secrets like CARFARES PAID, ALL FREE. SATISFACTION er Woods to sift out Becker rela- tions with the members of his squad. Probing Shepherd’s Testimony. Shepherd testified at the Becker trial that he had been with Becker every minute of the time supposed to have been covered by the famous assumea Harlem conference. It was that he was asked yesterday to repeat his story and that the grand jurors will determine the similarity or vari- ance between his stories. Shep- herd’s appearénce before the grand jury gives him immunity so far as his connection with the Becker trial 1s concerned, but if it is found that he testified falsely before the grand jury he can be prosecuted for perjury. There were more police witnesss before the grand jury today. Half a dozen men who wear uniforms were questioned for the purpose of deter- mining if their relations with Becker were innocent. Becker’s counsel have ready thelr motion for appeal, which will act au- tomatically as a st of sentence. Martin T. Manton is confident that he will be able to impress the court of appeals with arguments that Beck- er's second trial was unfair. Look At This Live Lobsters 20c lIb. Boiled Lobsters23clb.
