Serbian refugees, who continue te arrive at the Greek border, are suffering frightfully from cold, 'the ! temperateure registering ten degrees fahrenheit above zero. “Fresh Bulgarian forces are con- centrating towards the French front.” A Havas despatch from Saloniki says a telegram has been received there from Colonel Vassitch, the Ser- bian commander at Monastir, filed at 4 o’clock Wednesday morning, saying which prevented the consul from fdentifying him from the picture, The consul at once telegraphed the» officials of the New Britain Savings bank, and to the state’s at- torney. Steps were immediately talken for the extradition of Walker. The late Judge Arthur F. Eggles- ton was then state’s attorney and fhe took the precaution of having (Walker indicted before application was made to the Mexican authori- ties for his extradition. If it had ibec overlooked the extradition pro- eedings would have failed. The ederal authorities co-operated with the state officials in securing the extradition of the fugitive. In the meantime Walker had he lodging in Ensenada where he vas stopping under the mname of lorrison and took up his residence n a small hut in a bleak, rocky fection, where his neighbors were In- fiianS. Walker lived as a prospect- ng miner and used the miner’s pick s he wandered through the region. He lived alone.

He was taken to jail, and lernained there until his journey orth began. ‘Walker told Mr. Egan he used the hiskey for medicinal purposes, layed the game of solitaire with the jards, and that though he had not een accustomed to the use of to- Jacco, he smoked as a relief from the pneliness of Ensenada. Walker resisted extradition and xhddsted every means to defeat the fiforts of the federal and state au- orities to have him returned to this puntry. Mr. Egan advised him to bmit to extradition and save the ate the expense which his opposi- n entailed, but Walker persisted. r.

New York, Dec 2—The case of the four officials of the Hamburg-Ameri- can Line, on trial for conspiracy to de- ceive and defraud the United States government, was given to the jury at 2:40 p. m. today. Counsel for. the defense went back, in his summing up today, to the days of Dewey at Manila for what he | termed a parallel and a vindication of the acts of his clients in sending coal and supplies from American ports to | | the German fleet in the South Atlantic in the early days of the ISuropean war. “Dewey’s ships,” said Mr. Rand, the | defendants’ counsel, needed coal and supplies during that blockade. How did they get them? Why, it is no secret. An American firm at the Brit- { ish port of Hong Kong—Jackson & Evans, I think it was—Iloaded the coal and supplies and provisions on British | steamers and cleared those steamers : for the Chinese port of Macao.

Dr. Potter of Hartford Tells of Church Federation Work. The South Congregational church Men’s Brotherhood held a supper in the chapel of the church last eve- ning. After the supper Rev. Dr. Harmon R. Potter of Hartford told of the work of the Hartford Federa- tion of Churches. The federation had several committees, whose duties were defined. The Sunday observance committee had charge of looking af- the enforcement of the Sabbath law. The committee on stanardi tion is composed of the presidents of different brotherhoods. This com- mittee stanardized the manner of carrying out the work of the Brother- hood. Other committees are hold- ing, institutes, mission, Bible study, sanitary, industrial relations and pub- licity committees. The committee on industrial rela- tions attempted to aid in the settle- ment of the recent strike at Pratt & Whitney's, but were told the strike was “none of its business.” The mem- bers are not discouraged by this re- buff and will tackle the question, again, if a similar dispute should ever happen. The publicity committee has succeeded in getting more space in the Hartford papers and hoped to do the same in other papers. Rev.
