Changes Will Be Required if New Bill Passes. Inspectors have already begun an Inquiry as to the accommodations re- quired at the custom house, provided the bill now before consress passes and New London becomes an immedi- ate transportation port. About the building there is no doubt. but that the blll, introduced by Congressman Higgins, will pass and that the upper floor will be required for storage pur- poses. It may be necessary to remove the office of the board of inspection of steam vessels and the weather ob- server from the second floor to make way for storage room. An inspector has been about the building, looking over the construction to see if provision may be made for an elevator. Such a device would be essential to a custom house where storage of goods in bond, awaiting payment of duty or appralsal is nec- essary. With the making of a port of immediate transportation of New London, many vessels would find it advantageous to come here to unload, owing. to cheaper wharfage than in New York and Boston, and facilities for shipping by rail without drayage and storage rates to which the ship- pers are subjected in the big clties. VACANCIES IN THIS COUNTY Which Must Be Filled by the Newly Consecrated Bishop Nilan. Among the important tasks to be taken up by Bishop Nilan of the Con- necticut diogese, will be the selection of a vicar gtneral—a position next in importance to the bishop himself—to succeed Rt. Rev. Monsignor John Syn- nott, who held that office during the late Bishop Tierney’s episcopate. At the latter's death the position of viear general became vacant, in accordance with the canonical laws of the Cath- olic church, and Archbishop O’Connell ovi Boston, as presiding prelate of the New England province, _designated Monsignor Synnott, the former vicar seneral, to be the administrator of the Hartford diocese until Bishop Tier- ney’s successor was consecrated, The new bishop is also called upon to name diocesan counselors, who in conjunction with the several perma- nent rectors of the diocese, comprise the bishop’s cabinet or advisory body. It i3 expected that very soon Bishop Nilan will hold a concursus or examination to select from the candi- dates participating two permanent rectors to succeed the late Rt. Rev. Monsignor William J. Slocum of Im- maculate Conception church, Water- bury, and the late Rev. Dr. William Maher, of St. Joseph's church, South Norwallk. ‘The other vacant pastorates to be filled in a short time are: Sacred Heart church, Waterbury; St. Mary’s Norwalk; St. Mary’s, New London; St. Augustine’s Seyvmour; Immaculate Conception. Baltic; St. Francis’, Nau- gatuck; St. Joseph's, Rockville; Im- maculate Conception, New Hartford; St Louis’ French church, New Ha: ven; and St. Patrick’s, East Hampton. Result of Groton Election. After one of the hottest campaigns ever fought in the borough, Christo- pher L. Avery defeated C. Tyler Land- phere for warden of Groton Monday by 197 to 138. Practically the en- tire voting strength of the borough was utilized, a total of 341 votes be- ing cast out of a voting list of 438. This vote, the last to be registered under the old voting system in the state, will probably rank as one of the largest in proportion to the list. It was a contest simply and_ solely be- tween the adherents of C. Tyler Land- phere, who has been warden of the borough, with the exception of one year, since the borough was formed, and ‘Christopher L. Avery, who repre- sented a large following of Pierre L. Schellens, clerk of the board of water and light commissioners. A Financial Success. St. Mary’s T. A. and B. society, President Lewis A. Andrews in the chair, held its regular meeting on Tuesday evening in the T. A. B. bulld- ing. Beyond routine business, a re- port from the committee on the Arbor day social was received, showing that this had been a pleasing success from both a social and a financial stand- point.

JUST WHAT YOU NEED. Price 90c the Pint. SMITH The Drug Man, Franklin Square, Norwich, Ct. maydd Peter Welss s able to be out again Producers “ave Formed anC to Loston or Providence. Throughout this part of the state the milk producers are much interested in the outcome of the withholding of,the milk from the Providence and n markets, on a demand for a higher price. A branch of the Boston Co- operative Milic Producers’ company has Dbeen organized by the milk producers in parts of New London, Windham and Tollana counties to help out the cause. The producers feel that they are not getting enough for their milk fo cover the cost of produc and have asked for an advance of one- half & cent a quart for the milk sent to Providence over the price recelved last year, which is an average of 35 cents for a can of 10 quarts during the summer months, and having been refused this advance they decided to join_with the producers shipping milk to Boston, who feel the same way about the matter. They intend to hold their milk off the market until such time as an agreement can be made with the contractors that will yield the producers a eatisfactory _return for their milk. It was agreed by a large majority of the producers along_the line of the Central Vermont and New Haven roads where milk is collected for shipment to Boston and Provi- dence markets to stop shipping milk beginning May 1st. This was done, and on the car from New London to Willimantic there i very little gnilic fgeing sent, there be- Counties of this State—Very Little is Being Shipped rganization in Three Eastern ing but seven cans in the car when it ‘reached Lebanon on Tuesday. South Windham three small dairies milk, but_the quantity is s than one-sixth of what is usually shipped. ~ Above Willimantic largest shippers are holding theig milk oft the market. On the line from Col- chester only a portion of the Supply hus been sent, and they are planninuis to hold back the remainder. At Tur- nerville only a few cans were sent cn Tuesday. At Chestnut Hill, where nearly a half car has been shipped up| to May 1st, not one can has been shipped this woek, and they claim they do mot intend to ship until arrange- ments are made to their satisfaction. A producer says it is admitted by all acquainted with the production of milk that the cost is more than he producers are getting. The price of grain, labor and everything that en- ters into the cost of milk has adviaced to twice what it cost a few years ugo, and yet milk has advanced but very little, making the cost and eelling price out of proportion. The members of the newly organized milk produzers’ company are urging that ail producers stand shoulder to shouider in keeping their milk off the market until a sitis- factory price is received, whethor it Dbe to the Boston or Providence iarxet that they ship. The farmers nnd their friends are all intensely interest- ed in this contest over milk. ONE CASE HEARD IN SUPERIOR COURT Suit of Isaac Goodwin and Harry Frankin of Waterbury Tried. The civil superior court was occu- pied with the trial of the case of Isaac Goodwin vs. Harry Frankin of Waterbury on Tuesday, it being the only case assigned for the day. It is a suit for $475, which the plaintiff al- leges he lent the defendant for use in his shoe business when he was located in_this city. Mr. Goodwin is 74 years of age and claims to have known the defendant ten years. He loaned Mr. Frankin $90-and it was paid. Later, on differ- ent dates, in 1907, hie loaned him oth- er sums, as follows: March 6, $250; October ‘1, $50; November 29, $100: December ‘19, $50; December 31, $25. There was a note for the $90, which was paid, but he took no note for the other amounts. He showed a bank- ook, which showed that the sums had been’drawn out of the bank as he sald. He claimed Mr. Frankin borrowed the money to put in a stock of ready-made shoes, he being a shoemaker. He was shown several notes by the defendant’s attorney, showing he had loaned mon- ey several times to Mr. Frankin, but he did not admit that he had signed them and said there was only ome. Mr. Frankin stated that he was in business here as a shoemaker and dealer. but is mow located in Water- Dury. He knows Mr. Goodwin and borrowed money from him, and en- gaged in_the ready-made shoe busi- ness In 1907. He claimed he never ‘borrowed the money without security as Mr. Goodwin claims. He talked once of getting money from Mr. Good- win, but the latter would not take a second mortgage on his house. He said Mr. Goodwin came into his store and made a scene on one occasion over the money. Bank men testified to the account of Mr. Goodwin in the Chelsea bank and that notes which had been pald as shown by the defendant went through the Thames Loan & Trust Cp.. endorsed by Mr. Goodwin. After the case had been argued by Attorneys Brown and Shields, Judge Shumway took the papers, reserving decision. Court was adjourned about three o’clock until Thursday morning at ten o'clock, there being no cases assignod for today. INTERESTING SESSION OF THE ROUND TABLE. Papers and Discussion Provided an Evening of Pleasure and Profit. The regular meeting of the Round Table, postponed from April 26, was held Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Florence E.

Royce, ac- companied by Miss Susie Whittlesey, added much to the pleasure of the evening. At a short business session the programme committee was re-elected, the members being Rev. William T. Thaver, Mrs, S. S Thresher, Mrs. J. Holland Larrabee, and Miss Edna A. Stuart. GIFTS ON RETURN FOR BRIDE AND GROOM. Employes of Falls Mill Guests of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel McLicuddy.

The April term of the United States court convened Tuesday morning in New Haven, Judge Platt presiding. A petit jury was also in attendance. The case down for trial was that of Zebulon R. Robbins and Frank E. Pat- tison of Norwich against the Central Vermont Railway company, This is an action for $25,000 damages on a claim that six buildings and ice house of the plaintiffs in Stafford, this state, were burned May 21, 1906, from sparks communicated by a locomotive on the New London Northern railroad, a property leased by the defendant corporation. It is also claimed that 4,000 tons of ice stored in ihe houses were lost when the buildings were burned. It is probable this case will occupy several days in its trial, Charles W. Comstock of Montville and District Attorney Robinson of Hartford are counsel for the plaintiffs, and Michael Kenealy and Messrs. ‘Whittlesey and Chadwick appear for the defense. Much of the session was devoted to making a good start of the trial and maps were exhibited, showing the lo- cation of the buildings that were ‘burned.

RIGHT LEG CUT OFF IN ELEVATOR SHAFT. Frank Linderson, Aged 15, in a Bad Accident at the Falls Mill. Frank Linderson the fifteen-year-old son of Charles Linderson of 13 Sher- man street had his right leg practically amputated above the knee about 10.30 oclock Tuesday morning in the Falls mill. He has been employed there for six months as a doffer which work takes him to the several floors with a cart, the elevator being used in golng up and down. The young man came from the spooling room and lifting the guard attempted to cross the cover of the elevator shaft. While doing this the elevator came up and his right leg was caught and frightfully crushed. He suffereq_severely from the shock and hemorrhage and a number who saw the accident fainted. It took about a half hour to extricate him from tho| elevator which had to be lowered and parts of it removed. Dr. Kimball was called to the mill and accompanied tha Doy to the hospital in the ambulance where the amputation of the leg was completed and he was made as com- | fortable as possible. At midnight he was reported comfortable. HAS BEEN LOOKING AT NEW LONDON SITES. | e of Committee of East- achine Company Offered | Represent: ern Screw Many Inducements. A representative of the committeo | of the Eastern Machine Screw com- pany named to decide upon a site for the location of the new concern visited | New London on Monday and was shown about that city where there are several available places where it is desired to have the company locate. After the representative had seen the offerings it was stated that if none suited that a new building would be crected for them, while in additior something in the way of a reduced tax | Jst could be assured for a mumber of | years. | A number of the business men of the ity have been to see one of the com pany regarding the location of business here but whether it will be possible to bring it about is not known. As far as can be learned New London or New Haven offer no additional in- ducements over Norwich and the bus- iness men are making an effort to induce the company in which four Nor- wich men are interested to locate here | where they are plenty of avaflable places and as good, if not better facili- ties than the other places can offer.

Surprise The home of Mr. and Mrs..C. Per- ley Wilbur on Alger place, New Lon- don, was bright Monday evening with festivities in honor_of Mr. Wilburs anniversary.

Will- fam Scott, Archibald Mitchell 4ih, and Miss Mary Wattles of Norwich fave ed with vocal selections, accompanied by Miss Olive L. Carpenter, organist at the Second Congregational church | wome ed in New Haven ¢ and Orphans. Althéugh the deeds for the sale of the property will not be pas: for a couple of weeks, arrangements have practically been completed for the pus- chase, by the Hebrew Ladies’ Orphan ociety, of propertv in York quare owned by John Day Jackson, says the New Haven Palladium. The property consists of a large tract of land and a well-bullt residence, and it is being acquired for the purpose of opening a Hebrew orphan asylum and old folks' home In New Haven, Hitherto there has been no such institution, and a large number of prominent people of that race have felt that the race should make some effort to take off the care of the city its orphans and aged people, The crowded conditions of the local orphan asylum have also hi something to do with the promul- ting of the idea, and the soclety has succeeded in interesting prominent He- brews in the work so that the Zrop- erty could be acquired. It 1s plamed to open the institution as soon as it iz possible to secure funds for its op- eration and for the necessary altera- tions that must be made. SINGULARITIES. “aleulations as to the size required for human beings on the other planets vary widely according to the basis of reckoning. According to those based upon the attraction of gravity, Jupiter should be peopled by pygmles of twen— ty-eight Inches. Wollius, on the other hand, argued that Goilath ~himself would be accounted decidedly under- sized upon that planet, He worked from the feebleness of the sun's light there, which would demand that the pupil of the eye should be much more dilatable, Since the pupil stands in constant proprotion to the ball of the eye. and that to the entire body, said Wolfius, a little calculation shows that an average Jovian muet be nearly 1 feet 7 inches tall—not quite four inch- es shorter than Og, king of Hashan, according to the measure of his bed- stead given in Deuteronomy. King Gustaf of Sweden gone t Nice to consult Prof. Schweninger, who was Bismarck's “banting,” or fut reducer, and his body doctor for many years. Schweninger was the hundredti doctor whom Bismarck had consulted —the ninety-ninth having diagnosed the ailment as cancer in the stomach. When Schweninger was first intro- duced to Blsmarck by his younger son, Count “Bill,” whose bulk ihe new doctor had reduced, the chancelior complained that Le asked too many questions. “Very well, then,” said Schweninger, “you had better call in a veterinary surgeon; he won't ask you any.” Annesthetics were at one time ob- jected to by the Scottish clergy on re jigious grounds. They proclaimed their use to be a contravention of the d cree that, in consequence of Eve's fall, women were to bring forth children in sorrow. Sir Jumes Simpson, who di- vides with Dr. Guthrie the honor of discovering chioroform, met this ob- jection by pointing out scriptural au thority for sleep when the first woman was created. The Almighty did not put Adam to the pain of having his rib taken out while conscious, but in caused a deep sleep to fall upon him. This appears to have satlsfied the cle gY. for no further objections to chloro- form were raised in the pulpit. To Be in Norwich. Clgrence Barber rendered a flute solo.

Matthew Tinker, aged 82 years, fa- ther of Selectman Matt A. Tinker of Chagterfield, is suffering from a_brok- en shoulder, several sealp wounds and other lesser injuries, the result of try- ing to plow with a fractlous horse Monday. Mr. Tinker has a farm near Lakes Pond, and has been warned several times of the nature of the an- imal which injured him. but he was | determined to carry out his intentions.

The powder s considered more sanjtary as each patron has a fresh lather.
