- COAST AND LAKES Peculiar Weather Conditions Exist —Little Damage Washington, Nov, 19.—Heavy gales and rain whipped the Atlantic coast trom Jacksonville to Eastport, Me., *and similar conditions prevailed thrgugh the great Lakes region, and the Ohio Valley during the night in what the weather bureau officials des- | cribed as ‘“one of the most remark- able storm ' developments in many years.” The two storms early today were heading toward each other and mov- g northeastwardly. Early reports from along the South Atlantic coast indicated that shipping has pretty generally escaped the storm’s fury. The Norwegian baylk Killena was driven aground mear Brunswick, Ga., and wire communi- cation was somewhat interrupted in the south. * Liners in Gale- New York, Nov. 19.—High gales accompanied by rains swept over New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the New England states today, seri- susly intefering with telegraphic com- | munication in many places and en- dangering shipping along the coast. At New York city the wind was blowing only twenty miles an hour at 1 a, m., today, but by 8 a. m. it had ingreased to between sixty and si ty-five miles an hour. Similar in- creases were reported from various points over the low pressure area. As storm warlings have been displayed since late yesterday, it was thought coastwise shipping had taken re(uge before the storm reached its maxi- mum. One or two westbound trans- Atlantic liners were reported to have encountered the gales off the coast: BRITISH BLOC IRON IMPORTATIN Submarine Campaign i Baltic | Threatens Germany Stockholm, Sweden, Nov. 6.—Swe- fen’ iron mine owners state that the British submarina blockade Wwill re- t in . a complete stoppage of Ger- nany’s large iron ore importation ont ‘this country.

The treasury has enjoined upon all city and village gor- porations to keep down their capital expenditure as closely as possible, and the local government hoard which has the supervision of these bodies has notified them that unusual expendi- tures except on account of imperative public health requirements. or to facilitate the output of munitions will not be sanctioned. In London the education committee of the county council pProposes to save more than a million and a half dol- 's business where I g9t | G oud not be left entirely for th. that wound, “Erwin Memorial” committee to take care of. Whatever form the Memor- r jal may take, the form should have as nearly as possible the unanimous | approval of the people of the city. This can be obtained in a measure by a fuller discussion of the subject through the press. The city as a corporate body, has benefitted by the generosity of Mr. Erwin. Is it not feasible for the city to appropriate a sum of money for a memorial, same to be augmented by public subscription. An arch, or gate will probably sometime be placed at the West Main street entrance of Walnut Hill park, if for no other reason than as a part of the park decorations. It seems fit- ting that such a structure be ded cated to the memory of Cornelius B. Erwin, Yours very truly, INTERESTED CITIZEN, ANCONA SUNK WITHOUT WARNING Hillstrom said- “It cnly public curiosity that wants to | know that. ‘I am not here to gratify | public curiosity.” The Industrial Workers of the World, of which Hillstrom was a | member, held a meeting at their hall and another in the streets last night. Attendance was not larger than usual and tae remarks of the speakers were mild. Preparations for Execution. t A chair for’ Hillstrom was placed ' against the inner wall of the prison facing a barricade to conceal the five men of the firing squad from the con- demned man and the spectators. Three of Hillstrom’s friends were in- | vited, at his request, to witness the execution. The number of spectators, limited by law, was small and includ- ed certain officers and press represen- tatives. The prison physician placed a paper target directly over Hill- strom’s heart to guide the members of the firing squad, who selected their rifles by lot. The execution was un- der the direction of Sheriff J. S. Cor- less of Salt Lake county. Suspicious Coincidence. Officers are much perplexed by an incident that developed last night in connection with the arrangements for the execution- Hillstrom expressed a desire to wear a dark suit, which had been under lock and key with his other effects. Deputy Warden A. C. Ure of the state prison brought out the suit and examined it preparatory to having it pressed. He discovered the name “Morrison” written in in- delible ink on the white lining of the suit. When he reported to Hillstrom | that he had found a name on ' the | suit, Hillstrom inquired whether the name was “Morrison,” and said he be- | lieved it had been placed there by ! “some detective at the county Jjail-” Hillstrom said the suit was bought for. him by a friend after his arrest. The suit, however, officials at the | Frison say, is much too large for Hill- | strom. Mrs. J. G. Morrison, widow of | ' the murdered man, says her husband had a suit similar to the one under in- vestigation and that the writing re- sembles that of her husband, but she is unable to identify the suit positively as his. Another suit was obtained for Hillstrom to wear at his execution. Had Nervous Collapse.

He tied the door of his cell with strips torn from the blankets and fought the guards flercely with the handle of a broom he had snatched from an attendant in the corridor. This outburst was Hillstrom retired calmly last night. He remained apparently in sleep un- | til early this morning. About four o’clock he arose and began to shake i the cell door, shrieking as if in a | nightmare. The noise reached the | outside guards, who turned in a gen- eral alarm.

Attacks Guards. , When the guards arrived for this purpose Hillstrom attacked them sav- agely with the broom handle, which he had broken in two, leaving a sharp point on one piece. Deputy Warden Ure received a slight wound in the arm from Hillstrom’s weapon. Hill- strom fought silently until Sheriff Corless, for whom he had previously manifested high regard, arrived and appealed to him.

Naples, Nov. 18, 10:10 p. m. (De- layed in Transmission.)—The official report of the investigation into the sinking of the Italian steamship An- cona by a submarine off the Tunisian cocast on November 7, was sent to Thomas Nelson Page, the American ambassador at Rome, tonight. The investigation reached the conclusion that the submarine fired a shell against the wireless apparatus aboard the Ancona without ary warning. The captain brought the vessel im- mediately to a halt. The submarine having hoisted the Austrian flag, the investigators found, the Ancona was about to hoist the Italian ensign but the flag reached only half way up the mast when the submarine launched a torpedo which struck the, steamer amidships. The captain of the Ancona, the official account says, ordered the life boats lowered, but while this was be- ing done the submarine continued firing against the steamer’s boats. Some of the boats were pierced by shots, obliging the survivors to use their clothes to stop up the holes. In the meanwhile, it is alleged, those on board the submarine jeered at their victims. ESCAPE FIRE. Insignificant Blaze in School Demon- strates Fire Drill Worth. New Haven, Nov. 19.—The disci- pline of a fire drill in public schools was emphasized this afternoon.

The children stood in solid ranks os the sidewalks as the teachers expected in a minute tomarch them in again so they might get their wraps. But the sight of fire apparatus brought hun- dreds of mothers and other relatives on the scene. Children were grabbed up in the excitement and the teachers found themselves besieged by a frantic crowd mostly of women of foreign birth- The children were carried home without their wraps.

Rutherford to erect three frame structures on North Burritt ! streeet. The buildings are described as follows: 180x20 feet, cost $3,600. 147x20 feet, one cost $2,200. 45x20 feet, cost $1,000. one story, estimated story, estimated one story, estimated HALL NOT A CANDIDATE, .Edward F. Hall, who has been men- tioned as the possible successor to Ernest W. Christ as president of the Chamber of Commerce, stated today that he is not a candidate for the office. Mr. Hall is connected with i Landers, Frary & Clark and is also secretary of the Chamber of Com- merce Building company, Inc., and says his duties would preclude the lars of the estimates of about twenty- six millions. Fuel alone is the ex- ception as the higher prices prevail- ing will mean an increase in cost of $50,000. There is a cut of nearly half a million in teachers’ salaries, which is made possible by the fact that many have enlisted in the army, and the schools will get along with a smaller staff. Children’s meals, and books which have been provided by the mu- nicipality to a certain extent will be sacrificed to the amount of $170,000, and there will be a drastic cut in such luxuries as paint and repairs. Liverpool Savings. The corporation of Liverpool is making a big saving all along the line. Street repairs will be reduced from the average of recent years by $150,- 000, and $25,000 will be saved on the single item of flower beds in the parks. The change in conditions of war- time themselves have brought about considerable saving to the cities. Four thousand employes of the city of Liverpool are serving in the army and navy. Nearly a third of the Lon- don police have enlisted, and there are only two thousand men available for service at one time in the metro- politan area, ~“ich does not include the old City of London. The work of the absentees is done largely by the citizen special constables. The total of children’s meals in the Liver- pool schools the past year was re- duced to six thousand which was barely a tenth of the usual numbeor. This reduction was due to the de- crease in unemployment, as only the needy children are fed at public ex- pense. Criticism ' is made by the newspa- pers of certain extravagance by vari- ous public bodies. A taxpayer writes to the Daily Mail proposing economy in the Lord Mayor's banquet at the Guildhall, and says “That our leading statesinen should preach economy from the house of commons and then adjourn to a Lord Mayor's banquet of the usual type would surely be an inconsistency too great even for poli- ticians. Attacks are made upon the aldermen of a suburban municipality for refurnishing their council chamber at a cost of $3,500, but this case is a contrast to the general rule of trenchment. SIX SURGEONS TO MAKE DECISION Jury On Famous Chicago Baby Case Ready To Announce Its Finding. Chicago, Nov. 19.—Six leading sur- geons impaneled as a coroner’s jury to decide whether Dr. Harry J. Hais- elden did right or wrong in refusing to operate on the deformed Bollinger baby, and thus save its life, are to make public their decision today, Having carefully examined the body of the infant, the surgeons plan to call before them Allan ‘Bollinger, fa- ther of the child; Dr. Haiselden, coroner’s physician Dr. H. G. W. Reinhardt, several attaches at the German-American Hospital where the child was born, and all others who had anything to do with the case, Members of the jury agreed not to discuss their findings until made pub- lic, but Coroner Hoffman virtually admitted after the second post mor- tem was performed that Dr, Haiselden will be vindicated. “Dr. Reinhardt went further in this autopsy,” Coroner Hoffman said, “and we found that the child was even more defective than was indicated— for more defective than Dr. Haiselden said.” COST OF NEUTRALITY. Berne, Switzerland, Nov. 19, via Paris, 2:45 p. m.—The cost to Switz- erland to the end of Octcber of guarding her neutrality was 255,000,- 000 francs ($51,000,000). This fig- ure is given in an official statement which has just been issued regarding the expenses entailed by mobilizing the army and keeping it in the field. CHESTER BRIDGE.

Griffin of Sims- bury during the night. The car was purchased from a Torrington dealer Monday. The car bears the license number 24,748 Renaming the Sunday School. (New Haven Register.) They called it “Sunday school” in the first place, no doubt, to distin- guish it from day school. The name stuck. The calling became a habit But often in the course of human events it is desirable to change habits. It has so come about th: while Sunday school is not less ac- to be, another term has become more accurate and desirable. 3 This fact ' was emphasized last week at the annual business meeting of the “Sunday School Union of the Protestant Episcopal church of Mass- achusetts,” when it was voted that the term “Sunday school” he dopped, and that “Church school” be sub- stituted for it, unless some more suit- able term could be found. To this substitute proposal it was objected that it conflicts with the general term given to private schools of various denominaions. It does not appear that this is a substantial objection. As a matter of fact, our Protestant Episcopal friends are not early in the van with their proposal to change. The logic of church events jlong ago made “Church school” seem a desirable substitute for ‘‘Sunday | school” It is already in use by many churches in the middle west, and has | for two or three years been adopted by at least one church in this eity. ‘Whatever the formal action of church bodies, the custom is likely to grow with churches in independent denom- inations, It comes about in this way. The educational department of a church |'is the school of the church- In the properly conducted church, it is the | place where young people are trained | to take their place in church life and work. From it they graduate, | if their training is correct, to the churchp. It is not a thing apart, as some have been accustomed to re- gard it; it is a part of the «huch. | These, is therefore, nothing to be lost but much to be gained by calling it s0. These are logical reasons why the appellation “Church school” is bound to grow in church parlance. Particular. (Popular Magazine.) Mrs. Anderson, who lived on her beautiful farm, 30 miles from the city, decided that she would do a chari- table thing by throwing open the place for a day to a lot of poor boys who had never had a’chance to romp | and play in the country. The party | was a grand success, and at dinner time all the urchins gathered about the festive board and ate prodigiously, One of the best appetites ever ex- hibited was that of Tommy Jones. ! Tommy, who was somewhat grimy of | face, ate all of everything that was handed him, and his enjoyment was so great that good old Mrs. Anderson’s heart was warmed to him. i But something went wrong when the pie—grand, old-fashioned apple | pie, cut in tremendous slices—was passed around. Tommy took one mouthful of the pie, felt around on the table and picked up the plate as if he expected to find something con- cealed under it. Then, with a look so dismal that it frightened Mrs. Ander- son, he asked, sadly: /B & O RICHTER & CO. MEMBERS NEW YORK STOOK EX CHANGE, Represented by E. W. Eddy. New Britain Nat. Bank Bldg.
