Attention and Custom ‘Washington, Dec. 10.—Congressma: Higgins in an interview on Pl‘olldfl“ Taft's message spoke as follow: President Taft's m appointment to his friends. It shows the marked characteristics of the man. Wise, searching, conservative and broad gauged, it not only merits the closest analysis and consideration by congress, which it will command, but answers fully the requirements of the executive under the _constitution to ve congress from time to time in- ‘ormation of the state of the union and recommend such measures as he shall udge necessary and expedient. Doubt- less’ much legislation during this ses- sion will be introduced and debated. Some of it ought to pass and will, The country is not ready for all of it, but had rather see a more rigid enforce- ment of existing laws. The reform of our currency s is one of the most Important matters be fore the country and this with the problem of keeping our expenditures within our income will of itself keep congress busy. ‘The establishment of postal savings banks needs careful consideration. If all the country had as well managed savings banks under such restrictions as Connecticut, the need of a postal savings bank would not be as great as it appears now to be in some sec- tions, No state in the country has better savings banks than Connectl- cut. The neglect of our merchant marine is hardly short of a national disgrace. Its rehabilitation will, I hope, receive the serious attention of congress. A large producing and exporting nation should carry its products in its own ships. Let our merchant marine be built up at the same time we are deep- ening our rivers and harbors. While we cannot legislate honesty into men, something ought to be done to prevent a recurrence at some later time of the contemptible and_abhorrent conditions disclosed in the New York customs house, particularly with reference to the sugar frauds. With no desire to form a hasty conclusion, they never- theless seem to me to exceed in the MONTHLY MEETING OF PARISH HOUSE ASSOCIATION. Mrs. George D. Coit Gave Interesting Account of European Trip, as Did Mrs. Edward D, Full “There was a large attendance at the regular monthly meeting of the Parish House association held in the Osgood Memorial on Friday afternoon, and the meeting was an especially interest- ing onme. It was conducted by the president, Mrs. A. N. H. Vaughp, and the usual reports were given by the secretary, Miss Pullen; treasurer, Mr; Symington, and custodian, Miss Am Cogawell. . Willlam H, Allen furnished a deul tful musical programme. Her first selection was Godagd's Florian Song, followed by Hawley's Noon and Night as an erfcore. Her closing pieces were 1 Know a Bank, by Parker, and Goodbye, Sweet Day, by Vannah. H accompaniments were played by Mrs. Frank Coxeter. George D, Coit gave an enter- taining account of her most_enjovable experience during her trip abroad last summer. This was the exciting jour- ney of twenty-two miles up the moun- tains from, the Rhone to Zermatt and the still more feartul climb six miles turther to Gorner Grab at an elevation of 11,000 feet. Zermatt is the highest village in all Europe—6,000 feet—and is a quaint old village of 1,200 inhab- itants in a pretty green valley full of 1"'":1“ tn ltaelf and ::rrmmdedhby owering mountains peaks, among them the famous Matterhorn. ¥rom higher up at Gorner Grab was unrolled wonderful panorama of mountain with fifty glaciers in sight. Here the party indulged in a snowball contest, it being the first day of August. She also told of a visit up an ever steeper railroad to Meuren, where one gets a Yew of the Jungfrau group of the ps. Mrs. Edward D. Fuller read an ex- tremely interesting paper describing the events and places visited each Sun- day during her summer’s journey, The first two were spent at séa. The third was full of Interest In exploring the ancient town of Seville, with its im- mense cathedral and wonderful Giral- da. There was much to see in the c thedral, including paintings by Mur: and the tomb of Columbus. At Madrid they went with Mlss Elizabeth Hunt- ington to the church of the Englis Four Sundays were spent in Paris, attending the American church, the Greek church, the McAll mission and the church of St. Clotilde, besides drives to Versailles and other things which are always crowded into any day in Paris. An interesting day was spent in Amsterdam at the unveiling of a tablet to the Pllgrim Fathers who sought refuge there in 1609. This was in the English reformed church, an in- teresting old edifice. Besides other Sundays in Holland, Belgium and Swit- zerland, one was spent at Westminster abbey, one at & beautiful old church on the_mountainside overlooking the sea in North Wales, another at St. Giles’ cathedral in Edinburgh and last but not least one in Norwich, England. Tea was served at the close of the programme by the social committee, Mrs. Ansel A, Beckwith, chairman, Mrs. Junius Brand, Mrs, Charles Burn- ham and Miss Fannie L. Bliss. The tea table was very pretty with its Christmas coloring of red and green, Miss Young and Miss Cogswell poured. STAFFORD SPRINGS MAN WANTS NEW APPOINTMENT. Likely That Frank A. Warfield Will Be Named Deputy Commissioner of Frank A. Warfield of Stafford Springs is an applicant for appoint- ment as one of the deputy commis- sloners of the pension office, and his chances for the place are said to be yery good. There are two of these deputies, and the recent promotion of the first deputy to be commissioner has necessitated a change all around. Sen- ators Bulkeley and Brandegee on Fri- day morning called on President Taft to present Mr, Warfield’s name and he also has the endorsement of all the members from Connecticut in the house. Mr. Warfield has been for nearly thirty years in the pension office, and is at present chief of the western di- vision, to which place he was appoint- ed in 1897. This place pays a salary of $2,000 a_ year, while the deputy gets $3,600. Mr. Warfield was a candidate for the same place he 13 now seekin abont ten years ago, but failed 1o lang the plum.

New London Port of Entry, Representative Higgins has intro- duced in the house a bill making New London a port of entry, which was re- ferred to the committee on ways and means. In speaking of this bill Mr. Higgins sa ‘The bill which I have introduced proposes to extend to the port of New London the privilege of immediate transportation of merchandise import- ed from abroad. Under the law mer- chandise destined for immediate transportation shall be transferred, un- der proper supervision, directly, from the importing vessel to the car, vessel or vehicle in which the same is trans. |~ ported to its'final destination. This right was granted to a number of ports in the act of June 10, 1850. “I have always believed that greater use could and should be ma: of the splendid shipping facilities both by water and rail at New London. The congestion at New York and the high rates prevailing there for warehouses ought to operate to the advantage of New London. This bill must recelve the favorable recommendation of the ways and means committee, who will undoubtedly refer it to the treasury depfln.mcnt who may raise some ad- ministtative objections, or declde that the commerce of the port of New Lon- don does mot warrant the amendment proposed. Under any event, I shall work for its enactment RESERVED DECISION ON REMONSTRANCE HEARING. Superior Court Held a Long Session Friday, Being Occupied With Short Calendar Business—Two Divorces Granted.
