Dr. Russell H. Conwell to a record crowd last night. Dr. Conwell followed the Swiss bell ringers. He has been writing a boek on the lives of mil- lionaires for the past 28 years which is| not quite completed. He said his inv tigation has revealed that there were| 4,043 millionaires in this country ana all but 40 made their fortunes honestly; 3,780 began without a' dollar; 3,500 | made their fortunes in small cities and towns; over 2,500 began their for- tunes during hard times such as we are having now. He said the foundations of business success and christianity are based on the same principle, ‘‘Give the! people what they require.’’ What New Britain Needs. ““The greatest need of the city of New Britain is to have the Chamber of Commerce get the people into one great municipal family, when that is done it will make this city one of the great- est cities in this section,” he said. He created much amusement by il- lustrating the parable of the good Sa- maritan. The first man who passed by on the other side was a preacher, he didn’t help because he was not getting salary enough and couldn’'t do any- thing. The next person who passed was a theological student and he did not see any reason why he should stop. But the man who did stop, picked up the fallen wayfarer and took him to a hospital where he paid his bill, was a business man. He showed humanity, which is the greatest business asset, ac- cording to the speaker. PRINCESS BUYS A HALF-TON COFFIN Former American Girl Gets Cost- CITY ITEMS. New period Victrola at =—advt.

Tha princess, who as Mrs. Philip Van Val- kenburgh, was known some years ago a1 “thg million doilar widow,” cama to this country six weeks ago on the Aquitania, traveling incognito and having her name kept off the passen- ger list. The purpose of her visit was to have made in Royerstown, Pa. tha largest and most costly bronze and silves casket ever constructed in this country. This is for the body of her late husband, the Prince of Bran- ganza, a brother of the late King Car- los of Portugal, uncle of the deposed King Manuel, and himself next in line of succession to the Portugese throne during the days of the monarchy. The Prince died in February, 1920, and is in a crypt in Naples where the Princess lives in the royal palace. On October 21, the birthday anniver- sary of the princess, the body will be placed in the bronze and silver coffin, which weighs half a ton and bears a replica of the crown of Por- tugal. The body will be conveved to Lisbon, where it is to lie in the Pan- theon, beside that of the late King Carlos. Tha ceremonies attending the plac- ing of the body in the Pantheon will be attended, the princess said, by the members of the old court of Portugal and representatives of many of the royal families of Europe. “I could not find in all Europe tha sort of casket 1 wished for the body ot the prince,” said the princess. *I knew I would be able to have it made in America. I obtained a magk of the Portuguese crown and this was re- produced with exactnesa by the mak- ers of the casket.

Belton Kennedy, broker, were informed through a story printed today of the discovery of a zunsmith, R. C. King, and his story at a week before the killing of the broker he repaired an old fashioned double barrelled shotgun for a young and apparently “well to do” customer. It is an old fashioned shétgun stock, minus two barrels, which the district attorney’s office has been holding for several days as one of the most impertant features of the case. It was found August 6 on the beach it Santa Monica. The braels have never been recovered. Newspaper Story Aids. King, the newspaper story states, when shown photosraphs of the gun stock held by the investigators, brought out a repair tag, showing that workers in his shop had repaired such a gun as the one in question July 27. King said that only the stock of the gun, wrapped in a newspaper, was brought to his place. The young man who brought it, he said, gave the name of “Barker” without initials. He said he could not positively identi- fy Arthur C. Burch from photo- phs as the mian who asked that it be repaired. Burch, with Mrs Madalynne Obenchain is held under charges of mudering Kennedy. It is expected King -will be given an opportunity to visit Burch in the county jail today in an attempt to identify him as the repair men’s cus- tomer. Maintains Tnnocence. This is the third day since Ralp R. Obenchatn, attorney for his former wife, Madalynne Obenchain was quoted as saying in five days the in- nocence of Mrs. Obenchain, indicted for murder, as well as that of Burch, would be definitely established by the Jailing of another person or persons. The prisoners will be taken into court Monday to enter pleas, accord- ing to present plans. ENLISTMENTS STOPPED. Spanish Foreign Legion, Recruiting in England, is Halted.
