Backus to examine into the prisoner's mental condition, was the statement of a court official this afternoon. ° Presuming that Schrank will be found insane, it will be impossible to try him on the charge of attempting to kill Colonel Roosevelt.

Day and Night Work Going On. At the mill of the Danfelson Cotton company day and night work Is being done this week on the big turbines that are being placed in the wheel pit to develop power for the operation of the machinery, the object being to get them into working order as quickly as possible. The big engine at the Main street front of the plant is now carrying most of the load, the other big engine hav- ing been taken down for overhauling. The work of installing machinery goes steadily forward. On the third floor of the main mill all of the 312 looms that are to be located there are in position, though the shafting is not yet up, though the placing of this will not take any great length of time. Sixty-six more looms are here and on the second floor of the plant, ready for setting, and 375 more looms are expected to arrive from the shops at any time. The new looms are to be of the 44 inches wide tvpe of Drapers, those that have been placed being only 40 inches. Still wider looms than the 44's are also contemplated in the installa- tion plans that will not be wholly com- pleted for several months. The first of the new looms put in are now running very smoothly and the operators of them are turning off a large quantity of cloth each week. On good looms on the second floor of the extension which were not removed in the renovation process plans have been made for putting on what is known as a feeler attachment, this being design- ed to pick up & new service of flling before the old is run out, thus saving a considerable amount of time. Record Expenditure. Indications before the totals are at hand point to a record for expenditure improve- ‘ment in buildings and equipment for 1912 surpassing any made in Killingly in many vears. These figures when they are compiled will not only repre- sent confidence of concerns in the fu. ture of Danlelson, but as well various opportunities for the profitable em- ployment of labor. For a few vears business develop- ment in the town has been little less than stagnant, but there has been = decided change during the 12 months that will end with December. The coming year should be a banner one. Reported No Deaths. Ashford, FEastford, Hampton and Woodstock are four Windham county towns from which no deaths were re- ported to the state board of health for October, they being among the 37 towns of Connecticut that made such a record. Night School Needed. There is a real demand for a night school in Putnam. Thirty-one names have been secured by the promoters at the meeting called to allow those who wanted a night school to come out and say so. The response was fine and the impression made is very satisfactory. Those who applied are principally for- eigners who speak little English, but they want to learn the essentials of the language, and their hope will be given every encouragement. These men vary from 20 to 40 years in age. They are all earnest and anxious to be given a chance to learn to read and write the English language. Personal Mention. Miss Agnes Doyle is spending a few days in Worcester. Miss Marietta Healy was a recent visitor in Boston. Miss Dollie Connors has returned to Providence afier several weeks stay with her sister, Mrs. John Gregly. a great many places throughout and immediate successes of s a nature as to make them not only ar- ew England and in many sections of New York state met with fine receptions liberal tistic but financial triumphs. In many places and for a number of years the rehearsals and preparation and stag- ing of the operas, most frequently un- der the auspices of churches or organ- izatlons in the towns and cities where they were given, were under the per- sonal direction of Mr. Leavitt, and his father, the latter also sharing in ti production of the operas, the senior Mr. Leavitt having written much of the libretto in all of the five first pro- | duced, while the composer gave full attention to the lyrical features, though suggesting the lines along which his father was to work. The Frogs of Windham, of cours came into being from the sugge of the famous Windham frog Charter Oak was inspired from i esting pages in Connecticut history The scenes of the 1dyll of the Mill are laid here in Putnam, the story of an old miller who went to the war and of the usurer who, while the miller was away, tried to Shylock the old soldier out of his picturesque prop- erty. Ponce de Leon, one of the most elab- | main in Putnam. orate of the dead composer's operas. was founded on the story of the fa- mous_search for the fountain of per- petual youth. Tea Tefhi, the title the name of an Irish princess, is based on incidents In English history, bearing on the relations of England with Ire- land. When this work will be pro- duced 1s now very uncertain, but when the time does come 1 will be pronounced the ‘most “perfect of Mr. Leavitt's musical achievements Aside from his musical endeavors, Mr. Leavitt was also a writer of bril- llancy, amd though very few people here knew of the fact, he has for about three years back been the editor of a quarterly magazine devoted to Anglo-Israel themes, Our Race, pub- lished at New Haven. In politics, Mr. Leavitt was an ar- dent socialist, honored by his party with the ‘nomination; a-few years ago, for representative in congress, and during the last two state campaigns with the nomination for representative in the legislature from this town. He was an able, forceful and reasoning advocate of his party's theories of government. Mr. Leavitt had never married, making his home With his parents, to whom he was devoted. He was a member of Putnam lodge of Elks and a model member of that great organ- ization—the brotherhood of man. FUNERAL. J. Clinton Nichol Funeral services for J. Clinton Nich- ols were held at his home Tues afternoon, Rev. George D. Stanle pastor of the Methodist church, wi which the deceased was so prominent- ly identified, officiating, the musical part of the service being by the choir of that denomination.
