The extra hour gained will tend to make up for the time lost during the recesses of the morning and afternoon sessions. Personal Friends of Accused Man. Today's proceedings dragged along slowly, as counsel for Mitchell put on witness after witness, who testified to hayng scen Mitchell at this or that ti 17th and 18th of September last. The Witnesses, all of whom lived in Wa- terbury, were with one or two excep- tions personal friends of the accused man and had known him from three to seven vears. There was a sameness about the evidence given that verged on the monotonous, and there were but one or two occasions that any- thing out of the ordinary was noted. Answers Méved Gallery to Laughter. Once when a witness gave his an- swets in a voice 80 low that they could hardly be heard Judge Williams asked him if there was anything the matter with his lungs. The same witness was told later by the court that he must understand that he had to speak loud- er. The other feature was occasioned by a witness who said he had seen Mitchell in_saloons a great times, but did not really care to say how many drinks he had had at those times. The answer moved the general pub- [lic in the gallery to laughter, which brought forth a reprimand from the court, informing them that “if you THIS FACTORY TURNS OUT SPURIOUS PAINTINGS Which Are Sold as Genuine Martins, Innesses, Wyants and Others. New York, March 17.—How two can- vasses left the store room of Willlam Clausen, an art dealer, innocent of paint. and came back in a matter of weeks as Homer Martins, was told on the witness stand today by Otto J. Karch, formerly in the employ of Clausen and now salesman for another Fifth avenue picture dealer. Clausen is being sued by William T. Evans to recover $3,500 which he paid to Claus en for two pictures now sald by ex- perts to be spurious. The testimony took a sensational turn today when Karch, in the most matter of fact manner, testified tha Clausen carried on a regular factors of Martins and Innesses, Wyants and others of that school of American land- scape paintings. Whenever a new one came into the shop, he testified, “the emploves would_ snicker, ‘There goes another live one.”* Some of the canvasses which came in, said Karch. were so fresh that he cculd smell the paint on them. It took six months or more for an oil painting to dry out. Two of these freshly painted canvasses he identified a- the “Near Newport” and the “Nor- mandie Bridge” sold to Mr. Evan On_another occasion, he testified, a genuine Wyant, sent to Clausen to be cleaned, was sold to another customer and a reproduction freshly painted was substituted in return. When the paint looked- too outrageously fresh, -said Karch, Clausen used to rub sweepings from the floor on the canvasses to give them the proper atmosphere of age. SUGAR PROFITS, SO COMPANIES REPORT, ALL USED UP.| Big Deficit as Result of Settlement of Government and Other Suits. New York, March 17.—Settling gov- ernments suits based on the under- weighing frauds cost the American Sugar Refining company more money than it could make up in the process of ordinary business, and as a result the company’s financial report for 1909 | shows a deficit of $1,395,000. The sum | paid In_ settlement of the government suits and the lltigation instituted by the receiver of the Pennsylvania Su- gar Refining company was $4,135,436. Satisfaction of the government's claim cost $2,135.486. and of the Penn- vania claim $2,000,000. The returns on the year's business in the annual report sho that ne profits rose to the highest amount ever recorded. $10,823,000, as against $6,50: 000 in 1908, and $8,729,000 in 1907. The | increase over the preceding vear was equal to £6 per cent., vet even that gain was more than wiped out. As a consequence of the two-large payments, the accumulated surplus of the company was reduced to $2 000. Two years ago' It was $2 but owing to appropriations for addi- tions and betterments in 1808 there was a reduction then of $2,879,000. L vear was, therefore the s ond vear in which the company's profit and loss surplus was cut into.

As was the case yesterday. today's testimony of witnesses was punctuated with that now. old and tiresome “I don’t . remmeber.” One witness in particular, in the short time that he was on the stand, gave the “I don't remember” answer to his cross exam- iners twenty-six times. Kulvinskas ldentified Mitch Dr. M. J. Lawlor, who was put on the stand early in the afternoon, said that when Mitchell was brought be- fore Kulvinskas in the hosgital at Wa- terbury, that the latter identified him as the man who had shot him, and that Kulvinskas, when asked how he knew it was Mitchell, had said: “So- phie told me she would bring Mitchell back with her and shoot me, and I heard a man’s voice at the time I was shot the second time.” State May Have New Evidence. That there may be some new evi- dence brought out by the state was shown today when August Volavicz, a particular friend of Mitchell’s, a sa- loon keeper in Waterbury, testified that he had received an urgent tele- phone message for Mitchell on Sat- urday afternoon, the 1Sth. The mes- sage came from Union City, but what the mature of the message was, wag not brought out by either the state o the defense for Sophje, counsel. for Mitchell not touching the question at, all.

PATRICK’S DAY DINNER What New York Needs Is More Hon- esty, Not More Investigations. Troy, N. Y.. March 17.—Recent-at- tempts to reorganize the republican party in New York state were hum- bue: the Allds-Conger investigation at | Albany is an expensive and almost useless undertaking for which “fifty cents’ worth of whitewash” would be a suitable substitute; and William J. Gaynor, mayor of New York, is a real reformer with a purpose. These views were expressed in a speech here tonight at a St. Patrick's day difner of the local Sons of St. Patrick, by W. O. Howard, a state supreme court justice, and & republi- can, Although he did not refer by name to the incidents and conditions which he condemned, there was no mistaking meaning, nor his sar- castic reference to the motives which inspired Senator Elihu Root's recent telegram to the organization republi- cans at Albany concerning the Cobb- Hinman contest for president pro tem. of the senate. Professional reformers, the justice denounced as “vapid. sapless, spine- 1 chinless, sexless “beings, Sprung from no race and owned by no race.” Incidentaily, he said New York has too many laws and that what is need- ed is “more honesty, not moze inves- tigations.” NEW YORK ST. PATRICK’S DAY A BAD ONE WEATHERWISE. Nevertheless 50,000 Paradere Tramped Fifth Avenue in Slush. New York, March 17.—There was no green for St. Patrick here today, save in the buttonholes of those who love name. The varks and lawns were white with snow and the skies were drab. St. Patrick’s day is proverbial in New York for bad weath- er, but until the sun broke through the clouds late this afternoon the day was one of the worst of his anniversaries remembered. Nevertheless, fitty thousand parad ers, brave in their uniforms and ban- ners, dared the snow flurries and wet feet to tramp Fifth avenue in the slush. Many Irish societies were in line. The Sixty-ninth regiment led the parade. A pontifical high mass was, celebrat- ed at St. Patrick’s cathedral ‘earlier in the day with Archbishop Farley as the brant. When the great cathedral was crowded to the doors, the fife and drum corps of the Irish volunteers was heard shrilling outside and Archbishop Farley met them-at the entrance. To the tune of Hibernia’s Champion Saint 1l Hail the volunteers followed the archbishop down the center aisle tow- ard the altar.

Court to Listen to A U. S. Supreme to r- gument ouuonlhy. ‘Washington, ll-rch 17—For four ours today the nme court of the United States listended to conflict- ing arguments on the constitutionality of the corporation tax provisions of the Payne-Aldrich tariff .act. After another day’s argument the court will take the statute under its considera- tion with a view to arriving at a de- cision. 5 Constitutional lawyers from various sections of the country took part in the argument of the day. They were connected with the fifteen cases in which the validity of the tax is at- tacked and which had been consoli- dated into one cause for the purpose of hearing. In each of these suits stockholders or policyholders had brought action to prevent corpora- tions from . paying the tax. Without exception the lower courts held the tax constitutional and dismissed the suits. The Home Life Insurance company and the Coney Island and Brooklyn Rafilroad company had counsel pres- ent to insist that these corporations themselves be required to pay the tax. BATHS IN THE SCHOOLS. Health Officer Elmes Thinks That Children Should Be Taught to Keep Cilean. Health Officer Elmes believes that the schools in Derby should be equip— ped with bath rooms and that some of the pupils should be given baths regu- larly. He says that the best schools in the country now are built with bath rooms in them and have nurses in charge who regularly give scrubbings to the children who need them. He has found in his examinations as medical inspector that quiteé a number of the children in the lower grades in 'the Derby schools would be very de- cidedly hnpl’oved by a good bath. Not only would the children be physically better off, but they would be given a practical lesson in the art of keeping clean which would be beneficial. He thinks that if the younger pupils are made to bathe once a week they would as they grow up acquire the habit which wouid cling to them and would work great changes. He is ready to ask the city to put baths into the schools,” but he has learned that the city has not money to spend for this purpose this year, and has not asked that it be done. But he belioves that if the custom once prevailed there would be such a change that the city would not give it up. Last year in the South Manches- ter schools 14,000 baths were given pupils. He believes that the work here ‘would not require a nurse to look after it, but could be done through the Dis- trlct1 Nurse association.—Ansonia Sen- tinel. TROLLEY TO BEACHES. Insistence of One Property Owner to Secure Double Worth of Property May Balk the Project. The plan of the Connecticut com- pany to run its tracks to Laurel and Myrtle beaches from Bridgeport seems likely to be halted for a time at least by the obstinacy of the owner of a single piece of property along the proposed route. The right of way, which is over private prop- erty the entire distance, has been se- cured by the agents of the company, with the exception of one plece of property which the owner refuses to sell at anywhere the_ figure offered. This owner is said to ask about $5,000 for,a lot which real estate dea ers say would be dear at one-half «# that figure, but it is necessary before plans to build the line can be carried out. It is nroposed to deviate from the present line in the town of Mil- ford, a short distance east of Wash- ington bridge, carry the line almost directly south to the shore, and then turn eastward along the beach and rejoin the 'present line near Walnut beach. LEADS CITY, Perhaps Diocese—Wonderful Achieve- ments of Polish Parish in New Brit- ain. The New Britain Herald says: The annual Teport of the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was read Sunday by the pastor, Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, shows that this church leads the city in the matter of finances and, it is believed, also leads the Hart- ford diocese. The {otal receipts for the year were $75,201.54, $34,925 of which is borrowed from a bank, and the dis--| bursements $74,549.20.. The new school, which is the most modern in its equipment of any in the city and is equalled by few in the state, is nearing completion. To date, the handsome sum of $109,179.47 has been expended on this school. It is expect- ed that it will take a few thousands of dollars to complete the schoo! and fully equip it. In addition to the class rooms, rec- itation rooms, offices, etc., there is a large assembly ball, & fine gymnasium with swimming pool, and many other modern conveniences which go to make thig one of the finest parochial schools in the state.
