VOL. LL—NO. 82. MUST HAVE ABSOLUTE QUIETNES Patient .will Recover Unless Untoward Con- ditions Not Now Looked for Intervene STATEMENT BY GOV. LILLEY'S PHYSICIANS. As Soon as Possible the Governor is to be Removed from the State where Quiet Janeway of New York Physicians—Official Bul Rest Can be Assured—Dr. in Consultation with Family lletin Issued. Hartford, April 6—Governor George Leavens Lille who lles seriously ill at the executive mansion in Farming- ton avenue, will recoyer unless unto- ward conditions not now anticiphted intervene. This was the conclusion reached by his physicians in consulta- tion with Dr. Janeway of New York this afternoon, To bring about the vernor's complete restoration to :uallh it will be necessary to take him away. In the statement given out Dr. Graves id: ] Statement by Dr. Graves. “Dr Janeway never makes state- ments to the press, but he stated that the diagnosis had been correct and that the prognosis is good. The state- ment which was given out this morn- ing still holds true and Dr. Janeway is of the opinion that Governor Lil- Jey's condition is not alarming and if he can keep quiet he will soon become more comfortable and within a short time can be removed from the state to where he can have absolute peace and quietness. Governor Lilley has been better today than he was yes- terday, Dr. Janeway has returned to New York and Dr. Beach will not re- ain with the governor all night, as there are two trained nurses in at- tendance. Illiness Not Accompanied by Hyste Dr. Graves said that he himself would return to Waterbury tonight. He further stated that the illness of the governor was not‘accompanied in any way by hysteria. On the contrary the governor is mentally alert and in excellent spirits. He does not enter- tain the idea that he is very ill or in even a serious condition. In this his doctors are encouraged because their patient is eo cheerful in his enforced activity. Governor Now Realizes His Limit. Dr. Graveg said that the governor, in speaking of his fllness, said: “I wee that I did not know my limit but I know it now, and realize that I must take time to rest to get well” Physicians Issue Official Bulletin. ~ The official bulletin issued at the ex- ecutive mansion just prior to Dr. Janeway's ar 1 and which the lat- ter has endorsed, was ag follows: The governor is resting comfortably and passed a very good night last night Not because of immediate amlarm, but in order that nothing that can be done shall be left undone, we have decided wil the family to call in Dr. Janeway from New York, who wil] see the governor this afternoon. (Signed) Charles ‘ Frederick G- Graves, Incipient Stage of Bright's Disease. It is understood that the two cond!- tlons which gave rise to alarm, vaivu- lar trouble of the heart and the slight congestion of the kidneys, were brought on by the rather low vitality of the patient because of the nervous exhaustion from which he has suffered the past ten days. In meither case, it is understood, are these particular con- ditions serious. The congestion of the Kidneys is possibly an incipient stage of Bright's disease, but as the physi clans are aware of it in the present stage it can probably be counteracted. Bvery precaution is being taken to [iote the changes in this respect. Lieut. Gov. Weeks to Act. Governor Lilley will sign papers morrow, and it may be that he wi continue to act as governor this week while the general assembly i3 in s sion, and will then relinquish his du- ties 'to Lieutenant Governor Weeks. Necessary to Keep Governor in Good Spirits. Fxecutive Becretary Goodwin, who was with the patient much of the day, says there is no gccasion to be alarm- ed as to the governor keeping in good spirits, which all belleve is a factor in the progress towards renew- ed health. No bulletins will be given out tonight, but for a few days the physicians ‘will prepare a statement once or twice a day. The expression of sympathy of the general assembly and the flood of mes- sages of inquiry and sympathy have been an exsellent tonic to the patient. Prayer Offered in Superior Court Room The entire state has been greatly in- terested all day in news from the bed- side. One of the special incidents in this connection occurred in New Ha- ven, where at the opening of the su- perior court Rev. G. W. Barhydt of nford offered the proyer for a gov- is ill in the full form of the X church ritual. Probably this prayer was never before read in a Connecticut court room. Place of Rest Not Yet Determined. Waterbury, April 6.—Dr. Frederick G. Graves, surgeon general on Govern- or George L. Lilley's staff, returned to his home here early this evening from Hartford, where he went yesterday to confer with Dr, Charle Beach, | over the condition of Gov.' George L. Lilley. Dr. Graves said that beyond his statement to the Assoviated Press he had nothing to say and preferred to let Dr. Janeway answer all in- quirles as to the patlent'’s case and prospects. He sald that it had not yet been determined where Governor Lilley would go to rest, The govérnor would probably not plan to leave Hartford until_early next week, or later, and Dr. Graves could not tel] when Dr, Beach would consider the patient well enough to stand a journey of any dis- tance. Two tralned Hartford nurses are in constant attendance at the executive mansion, Dr. Graves sald, and every- thing that can inerease the patient's comfort or hasten is recovery is ‘pro- vided for him. At the weekly union Lenten service of the Eplscopal churches here, the Rev, John N, Lew- iis offered prayer with the congrega- tion for the governor's recove: TRIAL OF MRS.

In a thin, weak voice that could scarcely be heard beyoud the jury box, young Allyn told how Harry Sampson stag- gered into the Allyn dining room on the moring of the shooting and fell dead in the presence of Mrs. Allyn and himself without uttering a word The witness said that on running to the telephone he found the rifie behind the Sampson dining room door lead- ing to the pantry.

The prosecution outlined its case to- day and from three physicians, Dr. George P. York, Dr. Edwin M. Rodin- burger and Dr. Cyrus Jennings. the coroner of Wayne county, developed evidence that no powder marks were found around the wound In Sampson’s hreast or around the bullet hole in the ghirt which he wore. Dr. Rodinburger thought that the edge of “®he bullet hole in the shirt was slightly charred. Mrs. Frank Allyn. mother of the de- fendant, will probably be called to the stand either Wednesday or Thursday. GOVERNMENT MERGER SUIT Against fhe New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad.

ORGANIZATION OF THE ‘WILLIMANTIC TRUST COMPANY Matter of Extending Time for Such Organization—Hearing at Hartford. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, April 6.—If the joint com- mittee on banks is willing to extend the time for the organization of the Willimantic Trust company, a new, charter for which a measure has been introduced will not be asked for, but it the committee comes to the con- clusion that six years is long enough in which to determine whether or not it is going to be possible to make use of the charter obtained by George E. Hinman in 1903 and refuses to report favorably on the proposition to renew it for another term, the supporters of the bill under which it is desired to orgtanize another trust company in the Thread city will appear to press their case. This is what Attorney C. A. Capen of Willimantic, appearing for the men who have applied for the new charter, told the committee this afternoon. He said that Willimantic was now a city of 18,000 people and had but one na- tional bank and one savings bank, and that it was felt that a trust company could prosper there, that there was room for it and ample room—without injury to either of the existing bank- ing_institutions. He referred to the fact that a few arg ago the city had two savings d two national ~banks and to the direful day on which it became appar- ent that half the number in each case was about to end its career in disas- ter. The city had grown to a very appreciable extent since that time, Mr. Capen said, and the bank deposits are now & half-million less than was the case when there were four banks, but the probable reasons for this are easy to find, He told the committee that it was greatly hoped in Willimantic that the present charter would be continued in force and that he had been authorized by the parties inter- ested in another to withdraw_ thelr bill if this should be the case, If not, he would like to be heard and to have them heard later on. Mayor Dunp appeared in the com- mittee rodm at this point and told the committee something of the history of the Willimantic Trust company char- ter which was_obtained by Mr. Hin- man while he (Dunn) was a member of the house In 1903. It had been obtain- cd against his opposition, for it orig- inally contained much broader powers and rights to engage in varlous busi- nesses which didn’'t seem to him to properly belong to trust companies. It also contained a provision that the capital stock of the company should be $50,000 and that only $25,000 of this should be paid in, while he belleved that the whole of the capitel stock should be paid in, Mayor Dunn was defeated in ‘his opposition when the charter was granted, but two years ago he got it amended when an extension was asked, introducing an amendment in the house, after the charter had passed the senate, calling for al] of the $50,000 capital stock to be pald in and- this was passed. The bill -was recommit- ted at that time and the committee took out various other features which were cbjectionable. As the charter is now worded there can be none of that dickering or trading with it which is 50 objectionable, and the law is now in geod shape. So that while the mayor had twice appeared against it, he was now appearing in favor of the extension which the present owners asked. George E. Hinman came into the committee room at this juncture and Senate Chairman Goodwin asked him if the incorporators at the present time were the same who had appeared in the original law as incorporators and was told that they were. “This charter has been held some time, gentlemen,” said Mr. Hinman, “and the holders haven't seen their clear to organizing a trust com- pany under it. They hope, however, to bg able to do something before a grea® while. The gentlemen interest- ed in the other charter which has been mentioned this afternoon have shown a disposition to come in with us now and let us all take hold and put the matter through at last. “There s plenty of room for a trust company in our growing little city, without doing injury to any interest now existing there and we are very hopeful that thig charter may be re- newed this once more and we may have the added time to do something with it.” Senator Goodwin asked if there would be objection to Ilmiting the time to which the charter would be extend- ed in case the committee should de- clde to do_that, to December 1, 1910, and Mr. Hinman replied that there would be none. He understood that the committee \was making a rule of making such extensions only until the date mentioned and felt that if they were going to be able to do apvthing at al] with the charter they would be able to do within the next few months and certainly befora the date referred to, 20000 FEMALES TO PARADE.

Lumber and Hides. . The entire day practically was con- sumed in discussing the lumber and hides schedules. Led by Mr. Tawney of Minnesota, the advocates of free Jumber in the rough went down to de- feat by the narrow margin of six votes, followling the striking out of the coun- tervailing duty on lumber. 'An overwhelming majority was mus- tered against an amendment by Mr. Scott of Kansas, taking hides from the free list and fixing & duty upon them. of 10 percentum ad valorem. The Barley Schedule. The barley schedule came In for a lively discussion, and when the bill was laid aside for the day there were pend- ing two amendments, one raising the rate in the Payne bill from 15 to 29 cents a bushel and the other fixing the date at 10 per cent. ad valorem. What the Day's Work Amounted to. The sum total of the day’s work, with the exception” of the elimination of the countervailing dnties on lumber, which was a committee amendment, was to leave the bill in identically the condi- tion which the committees reported it. This grants free raw hides and a duty of one dollar per thousand sawed lumber. At 4.58 p. m. the house adjourned uii- til 12 o'clock noon tomorrow.
