MEN FREQUENTERS PAY NEARLY $200 IN FINES Result of State Police Raid Wednes- day Night—Cases Against Women Continued: Followingthe raid by the state po- lice under Superintendent Egan and Asst, Supt. A. L. Story here between Wednesday night and Thursday morn- ing, there was a busy session of the police court here Thursday. As there were 34 women prisoners | and 16 men, it took some time to | make complaints, so that the cases| were continued until 2 o'clock in the | afternoon. Attorney Warren Burrows, | representing State's Attorney Hull, took In hand the business of making | out complaints, . Arrangements at police headquarters | for taking care of the prisoners were | a little different from those carried out in the former raid. The men arrested | were locked up in cells, while the wo- | men were kept under surveillance in the courtroom, where the crowd of curfous onlookers was kept down to a limit by allowing only enough in the courtroom as could be seated on the ‘benches. When the cases were brought up at 2 o'clock Judge Brown decided to fine all the men $5 and costs, while the cases against the women, both keep- ers and frequenters, were continued until May 4 The six keepers are also charged with violation of the liquor law. Bonds of §50 were named for the frequenters and $200 for the keep- ers, Fourteen of the men paid $14.28 each, a total of $199.92, to Clerk Tib- bits. Two men had no money to pay and had to go to jail. One of the first men to pay was a soldier from one of .the forts in the New London district. His stay of leave was up at 6 o'clock and he made a beeline for a New London trolley he left the court, Four of the men arrested were Germans, one a Pole, one a Swede, two Greeks and the rest Americans. The women put up bank books or cash to secure their freedom. One offered a fine diamond ring, but Clerk Tibbits declined that as a bond, The last two of the women to securé their freedom were a red haired girl and a blonde, who sat in the courtroom smoking cigarettes during most of the afternoon, but finally obtained bonds just before § o'clock. When the case comes up on Satur- day, May 4, along with previous cases, against this same group of women, it is understood that they will be tried in the town hall, as the court room will be to small Guilty of Trespassing. The continued case against Peter Ribner charged with trespassing on the property of John R. Kaplan was heard Wednesday morning before Jus- tice of ghe Peace John J. Lawless in Chesterfield.

The unauthorized guarantee by Me- Crum and others of heavy debts, one of $540,000 recommended for contest. * The receivers have made several changes in the company's balance sheet. Nearly two-thirds of the ac- counts receivable has been written off for bad debts. Real -estate, including machinery, has been marked down o $1,146,527. Patents, rights, trade- marks and good-will have been written oft altogether. Questionable Liabilities. The list of liabilitics shows a num- ber of claims which the receivers say should be contested. One of thosee left In the sheet is a personal clalm of McCrum for $3,690. After various deductions there i7 shown a surplus of $34,194, against the large surplus claimed at one time by the company’s president. This figures less than 1 per cent. on the $3,500,000 preferred stock. This does not consider the slow nature of certain assets. Want to Raise Money. The principal recommendation of the receivers is for permission to raise more money for carrying on the bu ness. The estimates are made out on the theory that it is a going concern, and without that undersianding the assets would moturally be valued at a lower figure. No Charges of Criminality. No definite charges of criminality are made further than the suggestions noted. The petitioner is Alfred M. Ptahler of Philadelphia. It he who as treasurer of the company signed the statement of April, 1911, against which criticlsm is pled. It was cer. tified by an auditing company of New York and Chicago.

A, Tir- rell, FIVE YEAR LIMIT FOR METHODIST MINISTERS Effort to Be Made to Restore Oid Rule of Denomination, Minneapolis, Minn,, May 2.—Limita- tion to five vears as the longest time any minister shall remain in a given church, it is expected, will be recom- mended to the Methodist Episcopal general conference by the bishoj morrow as a means of stimula the growth of the church. Much opposition IS expes over the proposal. At 19,000 M. K. ministers sc 1 over the world are allowed to remain in any pulpit indefinitely. The new plan, supported by the 24 active bishops at the conference, will mean a restoration of the time limit abolished in 1900. It is expected also the bishops will recommend radical changes in the amusement restrictions now imposed upon church members &nd these changes will be storing John V in the nature of re- ley's method of al- lowing consclence of Individuals to dictate what shali be prohibited in- stead of having the church decide. In delivering the first section of th bishops’ report, slgned by ail bishops, and recelved by the 850 del gates as the most important documen; to come before them, Bishop Earl Cranston of Washington, D. C., today described as “critical” the fact that in the last year the church has gained “less than two per cent. in member- ship. notwithstanding the outlay of millions of dollars. “The greed for wealth, sports, and forms of amusement have taken away from the church, it is useless to deny he said. He attributed the s growth partly to the system of drop- ping from membership those who left their church without letters and failed to report to another church within a year.
