Nicholson of Bridgeport, n his address as president of the Con- ecticut Baptist convention at the ppeningsesson of that body here today n the 92nd annual meeting. Mr. icholson was unable to be present nd his address was read by Rev. dgar R. Hyde, pastor of the First fBaptist church, where the sessions are beityz held. President Nicholson called attention o the present prosperity of the church fnd warned his hearers that in such brosperity there was the danger that lessening of individual work might ome. War Offers Opportunity. The decreasing tide of immigration, e said, due to the war conditions in furope, offered opportunity for much norg thorough evangelical work than eretbfore among those immigrants ho take up a residence in this state. Je also advocated the singling out of prtain localities for more intensive angelical work. The report of the treasurer, Charles dward Prior of Hartford showed that be receipts of the convention were ,911.90, an increase of more than 1,200 over last year; from the in- sted funds $6,100; from the Home issidnary Society $3,772.80 to be used work among the foreign population. €' convention has now invested nds of $147,000 and $88,000 which holds as trustee for various churches the state.

Coats of Hartford, retary of the convention. In their report the board of trustees ewed the work of the year which essence was that success had met b efforts of all workers in the var- s flelds of endeavor. No member the board had died' but Rev. Mr. bag #t New Haven and W. H. Rogers Banta mhad resigned. Time to as- tain exact results frcm the move- nt of last year in substituting dges from churches for the usual portionments had not been sufficient d no report on it was made. IndGi- jons point to the desirability of new plan and its adoption in all ritory of the Northern Baptist con- tion seems likely. The board ask- churches to give attention to last r's resolution calling attention to needs of the State Convention and lommending that each church ke gifts for state work equal to bse made for either foreign or e mission work. The financlal kis brought on by the war has in way depreciated the value of the vention securitfes or diminished leven a dollar the income. New KEdifices Constructed. he year was marked by an un- al degree of activity in building repairing churches: A new edi- is nearing completion on the site fthe Montauk avenue church at London, which was burned. A chapel at Wallingford is used by pgarians. The growth of Hun- fian work in Bridgeport required lenlarged structure which is being hpleted. Two colored churches e been assisted in securing a e of worship. eports in detail on church build- b elsewhere were made.

Sir Ian Hamilton as Head of Allied Expedition, London, Oct, 19, 12:10 a. m.— Major General Charles Carmichael Monro has been appointed to com- mand the Dardanelles expedition in succession to General Sir Ian Hamil- ton, who is returning to England to make a report. This announcement is made by the war office. Pending General Monro's arrival at Gallipoli, Major General Willilam Rid- del Birdwood, will temporarily com- mand the troops. That all has not been going well with the expeditionary forces sent to the Gallipoll peninsula to open the way to Constantinople has been indi- cated not only by the official reports, but by itimation in high quarters in London. A few days ago in the Brit- ish parliament Viscount Milner sug- gested the withdrawal of the troops from Gallipoli and their transfer to some other theater of the war. In reply Lord Lansdowne said it was im- possible for any member of the gov- ernment to give an undertaking that the troops would be continued in the Dardaneclles operations or withdrawn from them. General Sir Ian Hamilton, who has had command of the British troops from the time of their first landing in April, has, in his reports to the war office, chronicled very heavy losses to, his forces, with comparatively small gains. The result ot this has been to arouse discussion as to whether the operations in the Dardanelles were progressing in a way to warrant their continuation. General Sir Iain Hamilton is one of the veteran fighters of the British army, having seen service in the Af- ghan war of 1878, the Boer war of 1881, the Nile expedition, various campaigns in Africa, and the South African war, in which he was chief of staff to Lord Kitchener. He is 62 years of age. FOR HOME DEFENSE. Branch of American Legion May Be Formed Here—Attorney Upson’s Sons It is planned to form a local branch of the American Legion in this city.

If you think you are doing right, we will see.” The women screamed and Gruscha inter- fered, saying, “You can't kill your wife in my house.” Fraiter yelled, ! “Keep away from me.” Then the two men grappled and the shooting fol- lowed.

His wife W grappling with him and trying to wrest the smoking revelver from his hand. Fagan grabbed Fraiter and af- ter some effort wrested the gun from him and pinned him against the wall where, despite his frenzied attempts to get away, he was held until help arrived. Fraiter’'s desperate at- tempts to liberate himself were rapid- 1¥ wearing down Fagan's strength un- tii he was assisted by William Cor- rigan and James Hevlick, The first notice the police received of the affair was at 11:20 o’clock when Captain Grace received word that there was a man at 32 Booth street with a gun. He sent Officer Charles Grace and Officer Gustave Hellberg up in the patrol and they found the three men holding Fraiter and in the house they found Gruscha dead, lying face downward on the floor in a pool of blood. The place where the murder was committed is in the basement at 32 Booth street. The body of Gruscha was found in the doorway betwecn the living room and the bed room. There were two bullets holes in his body, one through the left leg near the thigh and another through the groin. On the wall above the body was what appeared to be another bul- let hole and there also appeared to be a similar hole in the wall across from where the body lay. Fraiter Talks Cooly. When Fraiter was taken to police headquarters he seemed to be under the influence of liquor but was cocl and” collected and wrote his name without a tremor.

He also told Captain Grace that he would “kill him and myself.” This was supposed to have been said while the two men were grappling on the floor.

From 2 o’clock until sunrise, however, his entire attitude changed. From the nonchalant attitude he had pre- viously adopted he became a cring- ing, weeping, ‘terrified mortal. He would wring his hands and weep and would then sit for a long time with his head buried in his arms. In court this morning Fralter ap- peared anything but cool.
