Robin, the fallen banker, now under indietment. Dr. Charles L. Da- | na and Dr. Pearce Balley were ap- pointed today & commission to make an examination and report in public next Tuesday, bafore Judge Swann and @ judy in the court ofxen&tl.l sessions, here he will be adjudged zame or in- sane. Hitherto the method followed by the courts of New York has been to ap- point a doctor, & lawyer and a layman, who examined and report to the judge. The department from prece- dent in the present case is in ac- ecordance with the code for criminal procedure, however, and it is follow- ed by the express wish of District At- torney Whitm: who desires that all proveedings be public.

NEW HIGH SCHoOL Needed in Middletown—Present Build- ing Overcrowde In discussing Some Pressing Needs of ihe Middletown School Distrier: ot the Twentieth Century recently, one faci was brought out that has caused considerable com- ment about the city and that is, a new high school building is imperative or else it will be necessary to close the doors of_the school to out of town pupils. When the present fine bulld- ing was erected in 196, it was planned to last for a number of years. The enrollment was that could be accom- modated was planned for 320. Today the number of students is 442, hav- ing increased by leaps and bounds within the last few years. Every avail- able room is utilized, and it has be- come necessary to use rooms for class rooms that were not so designed. In addition, it has become mnecessary to use five rooms in the Central grammar school, in order to house tha fresh- men. Principal Wheatley says that practically half of the present enroll- ment is from nearby towns. The money received from tuition makes it possible to employ better teachers and thus maintain a high standard. The question will have to be met before another year rolls around, whether it will be wise to shut out taition pupils. President Coles of the board of edu- cation has declared himself in favor of club meeting & mew building.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH AWAKENING To Its Respons in Korea—Re- £ lief for Overburdened Missionaries —A Self-Denial Offering Sunday, January 29, New York, Jan. 25.—The DMethodist Bpiscopal church in the United States is awakening to the fact that she hus given the men and women whom she has sent as her representatives to Ko- rea burdens beyond the power of hu- man beings to endure. Methodism began work in Korea about twenty-five years ago. During the last few years a remarkable re- vival has swept over Chosen. This rc- vival, with its thousands of converts, has so increased the labors of the mis- sionaries that many are breaking down under the strain. They are cry- ing out for help. And yet not in ths irit of complaint. Their ery is more the utterance of such men at W. Carl Rufus of Pyeng Yang, who teaches in the Union college in that northern c is pastor of Drew-Appenzeller Memo- rial chapel, and head of a circuit of six churches with over 1,000 members, whose native leaders he has to guide. The students of his school were preachers in the recent ten days’ cam- paign which brought 4,000 converts in- to the churches. The missionary, hav- ing broken down under the strain, writes : “The school is again in session while I em lying here on my back. The hardest thing I have had to do since I came to Korea was to give up my work for the rest of this term. After diet and tonic and nerve had done their best, and work and disease had won, | when another acute attack brought me to face the fact that I had to give up, I bawled. Pardon the baby act, [ wasn't a man; I was sick. But think of the situation; paucity of workers; abundance of work; unparalleled op- portunity, right in the mid. Pyeng Yang evangelistic campaign. Do _you wonter that I kept up as long «s I could, inviting leaders to come to the house to try to give them inspira- tion and direction, when I was unable to walk? Do you wonder that my re- maining strength was entirely exhaust- ed i this work, and when I had o give up, my first act was to fall in a dead faint from sheer weakness before I landed safely on mv back in bed? Friends in America please do not think that this is a complaint. T am content- ed with my lot. 1 would not exchange with you, doctor, lawver, merchant or chief.” And above all. please do mot think it is @ boast. I have dome no| more than any man would do. This | is simply a heart to heata ttalk, be- | cause 1 wish you to see the situation as it appeals to us in Korea; especial - 1y to one counting the days go by and eagerly awaiting the slow return of strength to be able to get back to his post—Yours for Christ in Kor This and similar revelations of the magnitude of the work being done there is stirring the church at home to do something more than has been done. Beside the native Korean con- verts to Christianity are setting such | an example of self-sacrifice as to stim ] ulate like sacrifice among those whose to Christianity. The Korean Christians | give of their time, so many hours a | year, of their money, and women are | even giving their wedding rings in or- der that others may hear the gospel message. Because of all these things January | 29 has been set apart as Korea day in| the church, D. A. PHlLLIPé FUNERAL WILL BE A PRIVATE ONE. Services Tomorrow Afternoon at St. George’s Episcopal Church.

Surprising opposition to hur- rying action on these appointments de- velaped. Representative Dunn of Windham opposed the proposition, as did Repre- sentative Hotchkiss of New Haven. Mr. Dubn slammed the proposition as an attempt to railroad the matter through the house and said that there was no necessity for such hurried tion. He spoke of “the talk outside relative to the sumshoe proceedings that had marked the county contests for commissionerships and expressed his opinion that the object of rushing such matters through was a desire to t them out of the way in time to id any opposition that might de- Mr. Dunn explained that he speaking generally and not in particular reference to Tolland county. Mr. Hall made it clear that the Tol- iand county nominees for commission- ers were the choice of the republicans of that county and that he would ex- )ect the support of all the republicans in the house in the confirming of the appointments. He stated that Com- missioner F. O. Vinton had bzen unan- imously supported in the caucus and that R. Harry Leonard, the other nom- inee, had received 13 of the 15 votes st in the caucus. This would indi- te that there cannot be any doubt to who the republicans of that unty want to have the appointments. Adtion, however, was deferred by a vote of 74 to 120, and the matter was tabled for calendar and printing. as as all other such Mr. Vinton’s nomination was approved. The matter of special. intarest during the afternoon was the hearing before the judiciary committee in the suprema conrt room in relation to the corrupt av velop. c practices act. There as not a larga; attendance, but, as George M. Gunn of Miiford put it. this was not o he re- garded as indicating that there is not an aroused public sentiment on the ! matter, even if thers is no violent ex- pression of ideas pefore the committee. The gist of what was said by those who talked at the hearing was to the effect that the present law is ood in others, and Some respects, poor in lacks teeth. Representative Hotchkiss of New Haven, who filed one of the two new corrupt practices acts now before the committee. was heard at length. He that is stripped of all verbiage and is clear “Don’t have three or of something no ona can understand.” Judge Hotchkis “Tf you don’t want a corrupt practices act. repeal it: but it you do want one, make it effective. The old law is a men who expend money in behaif of nominations. | T i sudge Hotehkiss' proposed measurs requires the making of returns of ex- penditures by all candidates for office, whether they be successful or unsuc cessful, returns to he made to the se retary of state in state and county electlons, to local authorities (the town | clerk) in town elections. In case of a complaint of alleged corrupt practice the te's attorney shall institute an | investigation. Judge Hotchkiss' bill would repeal chapter 253 of the acts of 1909. In response to an inquiry from Chair- man_Stiles Judson, Judge Hotchkiss he would restore the provision re- ng candidates as well as their political agents to make returns of their expenses, whether they elected or not. 'Judge Hotchkigs ins ed that his idea was to get the law in such shape that its intent and effec- tiveness would not be too greatly in- Representative C. W. Murphy of Danbury said he would not favor the repealing of the old bill entire, as it had many excelient features, but he Dbelieved the judiciary committee com- petent to put more teeth in it and amend it o that it would produce the desired_results. Mr. Gunn said the bill should be so drawn as to allow of getting at the men who might, even unknowingly to the candidate, expand money to further his nomination. No report of a candi- date would indicate what his friends might spend to further his interests. He wants a clause covering even the expenditures in sscuring nominations, thus guarding against the preliminary stages of political corruption. Senator Peck of Danbury declared himself as opposed to wiping out the present act; in his opinion if it is weak the judiciary committee can remedy its defect “This act.” said Senator Peck, “has been the means of prevent- ing the large use of money and is giv ing the state cleaner elections. It should, however, contain a section re- quiring candidates to make a report of their campaign expenses.
