(Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, March 22.—Convincing ar- guments as to why a renewal of state aid at the rate of $5,000 a year should be granted to the Willlam “W. Backus hospital at Norwich wens presented to the upmopflmlonl committee of the general assembly Wednesday after- noon. The llnr d expense of main- taining the hospital was shown to be the causé of asking that appropria- tion again be made and the fact brought out that when the appropria- tion was voluntarily relinquished in 1905 it was with the implied under- standing that it might again be se- oured if necessary. Revenues Not Now Sufficient. ‘Winslow Traecy Willlams told of the experiment of trylng to get along without state aid, as it was belleved ronlblo (in 1905) to do, and, belleving hat possible, it hud not been thought ‘llll to continue taking such state aid. a time the revenus was sufficient o meet the expense of maintaining the jospital, but at the present time it is lufllclent so state aid is again to be fsked. The hespital is now facing the '“eousity of making large expendi- res in providing necessary improve- ments, including the installation of a new hetflng plant and piping, and has met other unexpected and extraordi- Fflnry expenses that have depleted its nds. Extra Expenses Have Been Entailed. Supt. Frederick Symington stated t the hospital was not asking more n it gave up, whereas some hos- itals that were receiving $5,000 a year hen the Backus hospital gave up its ‘.pprvpruuon are now receiving more. ‘he Backus hospital, Mr. Symington yaid, had never asked for any state k¢ when the hospital was construct- CAT SURVIVED ATTACK ON THE OLD TEXAS. Walked Out of Turret After the Bom- bardment Was Over. ‘Washington, March 22.—These are some of the things that Secretary Mey- er saw when he boarded the San Mar- cos between volleys yesterday: The dummies representing sailors in the fighting top of the ship unscath- ed, notwithstanding the great number of volleys fired at the ship. This was = tribute to the excellence of the gun pointers’ work, for they were ordered ®o confine their fire to the hull and turrets. Shells Cause Interior Fire. A raging fire inside the ship caused . the explosive shells which penetrat- her sides and made it impossible tor the observers to go below the main deck to ascertain the damage. A shell somewhat broken inside of the conning tower, whose nine inch steel wall it had plerced on one side. This was not an explosive shell A number of holes clear through the hull from one side to the other, the eatest ‘being done on the fur- er side of the ship. - None of these holes, however, were through the 11- fnch armor beit. and Fowl Killed. Some dead animals and chickens killed by the interior explosions. Some of the animals, however, were unharm- ed. A cat walked quietly out of one of the turrets, whose base had been smashed by the 21 inch shell. The further experiments to be made with the ship will be confined to at- tacks on the armor belt and turrets. No effort will be made to raise the San Marcos. Jt would cost several hundred thousand dollars to float the ship and restore her to her original condition, and she is'not worth it New Wesleyan Alumni Record. Middletown, Conn., March 21.—Prof. ¥. W. Nicolson of Wesleyan university has completed his work in compilation of material for the new Waesleyan Alumni Record, and it is expected that the volume will be published in May. This will be the first complete alumni record published by the college sinee 1883, and should be the “last word” concerni the records of both grad- uates and non-graduates of the col- lege. Ths book will contain the fol- -lowing: An historical sketch of the oollaI by Prof. C. T. Winchester, in uation of the sketch in the 1883 editlon; a continuation of the annals .f the college from that time; a com- jete reco! of the college trustees, Ity and alumni of the college from the veginning, including all relation- ships, college degrees, positions of ‘honor and trust, bibliography of books written, family record, and other data of information. The record of non- graduates will ba almost as complete, while the conferral of honorary de- ees or master’s degrees upon other an graduates of the college will like- wise be noted. Tha edition was authorized by the trustees a year ago, and Professor Nicolson has put in a good deal of work in preparation for the volume. ROSKEY. State Banks Want to Be National. ‘Washington, March 22.—More than elghty state banks in Oklahoma are asking to be taken into the national bank system, and treasury officials at- tribute the situation to the new bank deposit guarantee law recently passed in that state.

Representing the comptroller’s qflge, Deputy Comptroller Bisséll appéared before. committee to state that the hospital for years up to 1905 had ‘had such' an appropriation ‘n! wés" being asked. He also spoke of ‘thre surprise once created in the comptroller’s office over the fact flut the money' was no longer being taken, this bolng quite unusu Holplnl Under Good M-n-gumont Rev. Samuel H. Howe also spoke in favor of the renewal of the appropria- tion. He told of how an appropria- tion committee visited Norwich when ald was first asked for the Backus hospital and of how they were im- pressed as to the wisdom of making such an appropriation. Rev. Mr. Howe also cited to the committee that the hospital in all of the seventeen vears since it was established has been in charge of men who represent the best financial Interests of the city; that their management had always been careful and conservative, and that not one dollar of the institution’s funds had ever gone astray. Frank W. Woodard emphasized the fact that increased expenses were the special cause for asking a renewal of the appropriation and urgad that it be renewed. Committeemen Ask Quastions. Members of the committee asked the Norwich tlemen various questions as to the hospital's sourcas of revenue and conditions under which patients are admitted, not, apparently, in an attitude of hostility, but more with a view to becoming familiar with the facts in the case. AN ECHO OF THE LORIMER ELECTION Two Found Not Guilty of Conspiracy to Defame State’s Attorney. Chicago, March 22—Attorney Charles E. Erbstein and Arthur McBride, who for two weeks had been on trial on charges of conspiracy to defame State’s Attorney Wayman, were found not guilty today by a jury which was out less than an hour. The case grew out of an affidavit filed by McBride with the Chicago Bar assoclation, charging that State’'s At- tory Wayman told him to “fix” a ju- ror in a criminal case in 1908, in which Wayman appeared as counsel for the defense. ~Wayman charged Erbstein with having conspired with McBride to file the charges. End of the Lorimer Scandal. The case resulted from the second trial of Lee O'Neill Browne, charged with bribery in the election of United States Senator Willlam Lorimer, and its termination marks the end in Cook county courts of litigation having its inception in charges that the seat in the senate was purchased. The only conviction during almost a year of constant litigation was that of Detective Patrick Keeley, who had cus_ tody of Representative Beckmeyer, a witness in the Browne case. Keeley testified falsely as to orders given by ‘Wayman’s assistants for Beckmeyer's treatment, NO “IMMUNITY BATH” FOR CHICAGO PACKERS Judge Carpant;'_R—efu s to Quash In- dictments Against Them. Chicago, March. 22.—Judge George A. Carpenter, in the United States dis- trict court, in refusing today to quash indictments against ten Chicago meat packers, placed a limit on the free- dom from liability granted the pack- ers by the “immunity bath” given by Judge Humphrey in 1906. He also ruled that the “immunity bath” did not prohibit the facts and evidence on which it was granted from being used as evidence to establish proof of a conspiracy existing at a date after the immunity was given. The ruling, from which there is no appeal, means that the packers will have to go to trial on indictments charging them with conspiracy to vio- late the Sherman _anti-trust law. There are three indictments in the first of which are five counts. The defendants can be fined $5,000 or imprisoned for ome year on each of seven counts. CHINESE GOVERNMENT THANKS RED CROSS. for the Aid Sent Famine Sufferers. Grateful to the ‘Washington, March 22.—The Ameri- can National Red Cross today re- ceived the thanks of the Chinese gev- ernment for its assistance to the starv- ing people of the Celestial empire.

More Open Than Under Devery. “The town is by far more open than it was under Devery; there is not the slightest attempt made to enforce the excise law; there has never been a time when the more serious offenses connected with the social evil flour- ished with such {impunity; gambling houses and pool rooms have increased and now run without molestation, save for a few spectacular raids and the visit of the collector; graft is as ram- pant and as profitable as it ever was.

STORM IN MINNESOTA’S HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Charges That Committees Were Packed in Interest of Special In- terests. St. Paul, Minn., March 22.—The calm of the lowar house of the legislature was upset in a decided way today when Representative Klemer charged that the important committees of the house are packed in the interests of special interests. A demand was made upon Repre- sentative Klemer by a score of mem- bers to “apologize to the house or get out,” but Mr. Klemer reiterated his charge, with the addition that it had been reported to him that W. R. C Dunn (not the speaker) appointed the tax committeés’ and that other chair- men appointed their own committees. Representative Dunn moved the ap- pointment of a committee of three to investigate Mr. Klemeér’s unparliamen- tary language and report in 24 hours. The motion was carried and routine business proceeded. LIGHTNING STRIKES AN OCEAN LINER Foremast of the Oceanic Splintered Outside of New York Harbor.

The debsis tg&x—wwly missed the bridge on whig gators were standing, and the force of the lightning jarred the ship. Many passengers were aroused, but their excitement was soon allayed by the stewards and- they® returned to their statetooms. .
