POLICE SQUAD OUT T0GAPTURE NEGRO Four Bluecoats Needed to Subdue Dusky Son of Minister ‘Welfred Hestey of Plainville, a burly negro with biceps that would make Jack Johnson envious, was sent to jail for thirty days for resisting Officer Michael J, Cosgrove and was also fined *$5 and costs for breach of the peace by Judge Kirkham in police court today. He entered Munch's sa- loon last night and stood nn some platform scales after which he smashed his fist through the ilass dial to show how strong he was. Officer Cosgrove arrested him on complaint and a merry little scrap was started. 1t was only after Officers Cosgrove, Richardson, Charles Grace and Wil- liam Hart had taken a hand and put the “twisters” on him that I!lester was finally dragged to the police sta- tion and there he continued to “i1ght until he was locked in a cell. Today Officer Cosgrove has a decided limp, resulting from a bad muscle bruise on the leg where Hester kicked him. , It was a very abject negro that was put to plea this morning, however. He apologized contritely and said he was sorry. He told the police he comes from Philadedphia where he is the son of a negro clergyman, and when he was sentenced to jail the re- mark was passed that “this is no place for a minister’'s son.” Calls Husband A Lial Mrs, Frank Czaskus of 43 Orange street vehemently called her husband a liar aftér he had finished testifying In the case in which she charzed him with non support. The case was con- ‘Unued until July 3 on probation and the husband is to turn his pay over to the probation officer in order that the family may be provided for. Boys’ Wholesale Thefts. Several boys were in chambers this morning on charges of truancy and theft. Several of the bovs were ar- rested for stealing lumber from Jake Odell and some others were arraigned for stealing rags from a rag peddler. It was stated that the boys crawled under the peddler's barn and knocked off some boards, entering through the floor. During last week alone they stole $50 worth of rags. END OF HEARING IS NOT YET IN SIGHT Discussion of Clark gstate Affairs to Be Gontinued hursday After a hearing lasting until ‘5 o'clock last night, Judge L. P. Waldo Marvin, who was cited in to hear the final account of E. W. Schultz, ad- ministrator of the estate of Bridget Clark in the local probate court, ad- journed the hearing until Thursday morning at his office in Hartford. At the conclusion of the examina- tion of Mr. Schultz as administrator, W. L. Hatch was sworn in and quali- fled as an expert on real estate. He was asked by Judge Klett to give an opinion whether the services of Mr. Schultz were worth $2,500 as charged. Attorney O’'Connell, representing J. H. Clark, who is opposing acceptance of the administrator’s account ,immedi- ately objected. Judge Marvin ruled that Mr. Hatch might give his opinion although he expressed the opinion that it could not be given much weight. Mr. Hatch testified that he had set- tled a number of estates, chiefly the estate of the late Horace Booth. He thought $,500 a fair charge for the work done. He was questioned by Mr. O’Connell as to his method of esti- mating such a charge and was asked if he would make the same charge for services on an estate worth $1,000 as one worth $100,000. He replied that he would probably decline to settle a $1,000 estate. He didn't charge by the day or hour, but rather upon the service given. Attorney O’Connel then questioned the witness regarding the sale of property in the north end of the city near the Smalley school. It is the contention of J. H. Clark that Mr. Schultz sold property of the estate at far too small a price. One piece was sold to James Prendergast for $3,000 and another tract went to George Le- Witt and still a third to the city for playground purposes. Mr. Hatch con- sidered that fair prices were ob- tained. He said the estate got more for the piece sold the city that he would have given. Judge Klett was sworn as a wit- ness to testify to legal charges made by the law firm of Klett & Alling. These fees total $1,000. Judge Klett, using the office journal, went into de- tail on the legal work done for the estate. Mr. Schultz, as administra- tor, frequently consulted them on the estate’s business. There was consid- erable court business, hearings and ar- guments. Judge Klett maintained that J. H. Clark would give no assistance to the administrator or the law firm in handling the affairs of the estate. Attorney O'Connell raised ques- tions on many minor items of ex- pense. The chief objections, how- ever, are based against the adminis- trator's charge of $2,500 for three years' work, the charge of $1,100 by Klett & Alling for legal fees and the sale of property, while, it is alleged, was sold at too low a figure. Afterncon Hearing. When the hearing was resumed at 2 o'clock, Attorney O'Connell took up items of the final account. He ques- tioned Mr. Schultz concerning minor items of collection and distribution. Regarding the sale of fifteen lots on ‘West street, Mr. Schultz testified he sold them for $3,000, one-half of this amount going to the estate and one- half to Elizabeth Clark Watkins, A question arose over the sale of those lots. Attorney O'Connell ques- tioned Mr. Schultz concerning the value while the property in that locality is in the neighborhood of Hartford avenue. Mr. Schultz said that Mr. Prendergast, the buyer, is asking $500 a lot for the property. He said that was the asking price but nobody is buving. He was asked what his signs read. Mr. Schultz said they were his regular real es. tate signs, posted by the John Boyle company. He didn't know whether or not the signs read E. W. Schultz, administrator or the Estate of Bridget Clark. He didn't authorize anybody to make such a sign. Attorney O'Connell asked the ad- ministrator if he wasn’t a particular friend of Mr. Prendergast and inter- ested in the sale of the property. Mr. Schultz said he was not a particular friend of Mr. Prendergast, but sold him the property at what he con- sidered a fair price. Turning to a plot of land on Tal- cott and William streets, which the administrator sold for $2,800. Attor- ney O'Connell questioned the price. He wanted to know if Mr. Schultz would have sold those lots at $300 each had he owned them. Mr. Schultz thought he obtained a fair price for them. He also considered $4,000 a fair price for the land sold to the city for the Smalley school playground. Answering a question of the New Haven lawyer, Mr. Schultz again maintained that $350 was a fair price for the lots contained in the tract. He received nothing in the way of commission for the sale. Wants to Close Up Estate. Disclaiming an insinuation of At- torney O’Connell that he desired to string the amount along to get all he could out of the estate, Mr. Schultz said on the contrary he did every- thing he could to facilitate matters and close up the estate. He had | his report completed before Mr. O’Connell appealed to the court for a return. Attorney O’ bills. It appeared to him that back taxes were neglected. Mr. Schultz said he pald all taxes as soon as he could determine the exact amount owed by the estate. It was a mixed | up affair and required considerable study. Attorney O’Connell asked concern- ing the administrators bond. It was bought from Schultz & Costello. The attorney sought to make a point of the part that Mr. Schultz was a mem- ber of the firm of Schultz & Costello | and ultimately recelved a portion of the fee for the sale of the bond. CHANGES SYSTEM Each Association to Select Men for E. National Championship — N. Championships to be Held in Boston New York, May 30.—Instead of holding sectional tryouts for the na- tional championships in Newark on Sept, 9, the Amateur Athletic Union, through a special committee Which met in Boston last Friday night, has decided to select the men who will compete in the titular meeting from among the winners in the champion- ships of the various A. A. U. associa- tions. Frederick W. Rubien, - chair- man of the National Championship committee, made this announcement yesterday. Mr. Rubien has asked the authori- ties of the various associations to hold their championships about two weeks before the Newark meet. Special ar- rangements will be made for the ath- letes of the Far West and Pacific Coast. According to Mr. Ruben {he Olympic Club of San Francisco, Los Angeles A. C. of Los Angeles, and the Multnomah A. C. of Portland, Ore., will each contribute a big sum toward the expenses of their representatives, and will be aided by the Amateur Ath- letic Union. The New England cham- pionships in Boston and the Middle Atlantic titular contests in Philadel- phia will serve as trials for the as- piring athletes of those sections. NEW BRITAIN JOINS INHONORING DEAD (Continued From First Page.) yourselves went to the front as volun- teers out of the loyalty of your hearts. You went not as professional fighters, not as mercenaries. You went to de- fend the nation and to win freedom for a slave people. You count your uniforms honorable, not for the bat- tles which you fought, but for the na- tion which you saved, the flag to which you are ever loyal. Should we not honor the boys in grey also for their loyalty? We do. Loyalty met loyalty on the field. Chivalry and deeds of mercy shone forth again and again to mock the dreadful struggle. In devotion and loyalty to their cause the men of the South were Americans also. The chances of war decided the victory to the Blue, defeat to the Grey. It is not after all so much by victory that men are estimated, but by the char- acter of their loyalty. You were loyal to the ideals of unity, brotherhood and freedom. Had you stood weaponless in drooping lines of defeat, we should still hail you as heartily today for your loyalty. We honor the men in grey for their loyalty; but we feel, and they realize now that the heat of the struggle is gone, that their loyalty had a lesser object than yours. In the lash of ideals and ideas, the oppos- ing ambitions and aims of men, We see, therefore, that it is most essen- tial that our loyalty should be fixed upon the highest cause. Then come what may, let our loyalty be unswerv- ing, and we shall be found, when the issues have been joined and the end comes, we shall be found to have done well. Professor Royce defines loyalty as “the will to manifest, so far as is pos- sible, the BEternal, that is, the con- sclous and superhuman unity of life, in the form and acts of the individual self.” This is as much as to say that religion is the sphere wherein the su- preme lovalty comes to expression. My text therefore is, “‘Seek yve first His Kingdom and His righteousness.” (Mt. 6:33) The Kingdom of God is the greatest cause to which loyalty may attach itself. It is the cause of humanity, not of a single race or lo- cality. It is the cause of right, duty and happiness. Consider the supreme lopalty of Jesus Christ. He refused to despair of the worst wreck of hu- manity. He came to minister, not to be ministered unto. He dled rather than to deny the verity of the unity of his soul with the eternal. He spake words of fundamental truth, and lived by them dutifully. Even tragedy could not quench his happi- ness. O men of loyal hearts, here was a man to love, to follow unto death. Here is the Kingdom worth sacrifice and devotion. Follow Christ; let our loyalty be to the Kingdom of God, and let all lesser lovalties be conson- ant therewith and we shall be worthy of the “well done!” of God. Patriotic Services in Church. Last evening patriotic services were held in the First Congregational church. Rev. Henry W. Maier was the orator of the occasion ad spoke on the subject: “True Americanism; Its Hu- man Rights” It was an address teeming with patriotism and was well recelved by those who heard it. The services opened with the Rev. Dr. George W. C. Hill, pastor of the South church, giving the invocation, followed by a scriptural reading by the Rev. Dr. S. G. Ohman, pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church. Com- mander F. V. Streeter of Stanley Post, G. A. R., made his official an- nouncements concerning today's ex- ercises and Mayor George A. Quig- ley extended an address of welcome, the salient parts of which follow: “We are living in a time of great unrest. On all sides we hear talk of 1 probate onnell questioned tax | internal disagreement in our coun- try and too often we hear words of suspicion directed towards those among us who ave of forelgn birth. T feel safe in saying that if the time ever comes, and I hope it will not, for Americans to despond to a call to arms the foreign born part of our popula- tion will be found ready to answer. We should not suspect, we should not s!ander those who have not the dis- tinction of American birth, but we should welcome them as fellow-coun- trymen and treat them as such. We cannot blame them if they have sym- pathies; we cannot accuse them if they are interested in the fortunes of the land of their birth. “We greet tonight and will honor tomorrow the spirit that prompted the action of '61 and ’98 and tomor- row we should assist in doing honor and displaying reverence for the memory of those men who heard the call and answered.” Rev. J. E. Rees, pastor of the Stanley Memorial church, then de- livered a prayer and Rev. Warren F. Cook, pastor of the Methodist church, read Lincoln’s Gettysburg speech with telling effect. Principal L. P. Slade of the High schools gave a short talk on “Our Schools.” Theron Hart ren- dered organ recitals and Professor George B. Matthews conducted the choir singing. Frederick C. Latham and Mrs. Howard Horton gave vocal solos.

Davies, chairman of the federal trade commission.) Not long ago two young men, who had saved some money out of their wages, embarked in a small manu- facturing business themselves. They fornd difficulty in procuring certain raw materials as advantageously as their former employer could. The par- ty furnishing the raw materials, they said, had an understanding with their former emplover. This, they claimed, was unfair competition. They filed complaint with the fed- eral trade commission. After inves- tigation it was ascertained that the reasons assigned for refusing to fur- nish the raw materials were that the young men did not have credit or cash to buy. When this fact was made clear, the young men arranged to pay cash. Thercupon the party complained against agreed not to dis- criminate against them further in any way but to furnish them raw mater- jals on an equal basis with their competitors. There was no formal hearing, no long-drawn out litigation; the young concern could not have stood it. The whole matter was ad- justed within a few weeks and the small industry afforded a chance, on an even footing, to work out its sal- vation. Another case. A layge corporation engaged in a certain manufacturing practice which in a single state was costing its rival, an independent, thousands of dollars every month. The matter was taken up with the copor- ation alleged to be offending and the matter settled. The offending cor- poration agreed to desist in its prac- tice not only as to the single inde- pendent directy affected, but as to all others similarly situated. The smal- ler company was saved. The large corporation was not haled into court; there was no publicity, no interference with the normal course of business; and the whole matter was disposed of speedily and satisfactorily. These are typical cases illustrating the daily, routine work of the fed- eral trade commission. The proce- dure is purposely made as simple as possible. The relief is speedy. Red- tape is cut out and results obtained by short cuts: hearings are held inform- ally; complaintants and those com- plained against sit around the same table with the commission. The satisfactory part is that the spirit of the commission has been ac- cepted by business to be a spirit of accommodation and helpfulness. The 200d faith of the commission has been accepted; and the business interests which we have come into contact with have been open and fair in their de- sire to accommodate themselves to the Jaw. For vears business and its re- lation to government has been the ob- ject of criticism and attack. That pe- riod has largely passed. The con- structive era has come. Jolt For Prosperity Knockers. Facts brought to light by the bu- reau of foreign and domestic com- merce effectively answer the claim of the prosperity knockers that America’s huge foreign trade consists almost en- tirely of munitions of war sold to the belligerent nations of Europe. It is shown conclusively that the bulk of the new business does not con- sist of munitions and that the trade increases to neutral nations, compared with the business done with these na- tions prior to the European war, are even larger than the increases to the warring countries. Our exports to Europe may be di- vided into three groups: 1st, munitions of war, such ammunitions, rifles, guns, artillery; 2nd, articles not actu- ally implements of warfare, which are supplied to the nations now at war primarily for use in belligerent activ- ity, such as copper, chemicals, mot- ors; and 3rd, articles which would have been exported in the regular Will Helen Gould Shepard Raise Boy to Be a Soldie i’ Sy MRS HELEN GOULD SHEPARD, FINLEY J.

War Burdens Europe Must Bear. Additional facts showing that the advantageous position of the United States in world commerce will con- tinue long after the war is over have to do with statistics on interest rates and wages in the periods following other wars. The London bank rate in the ten- vear period preceding the Crimean war averaged three per cent. The rate for the five vears succeeding the Cri- mean war averaged four and one- half per cent. Take the scale of wages which existed in the TUnited States in 1860 as a standard, or 100, and you find that wages during the period from 1850 to 1860 varied from 90 to 100; that upon the disbanding of the army in 1865, wages went down to 66; but that within the first year, as soon as the tempora readjust- ments could be made, wages increased and by 1870 were up to 134 The most marked effect of war upon good wages is that noticed in many of the skilled trades in Japan immedic SIGN ELM STREET CONTR!
