PROF. FISHER RESIGNS CHAIR AT WESLEYAN. Called /For by President Conse- quence of Recent Speech. Conn, Jan. 27.—Prof. Willard C.. ¥Fisher, who has held the chair of economics and social science at Wesleyan university for a number of year: announced his resignation this’ afternoon. Professor Fisher said he did not care to malke a statement at this time. He is a Cornell graduate and before com- ing to Weslevan was an instructor at Brown univ ity. He is considered an authority on the subject of econo- mics and has written considerably. In recent years he has been much in the public eve because of his interest in politics. After serving as a mem- ber of the court of common council, he was chosen mayor on the demo- cratic ticket. His administration was marked by the introduction of reform measures. He advocated particularly the abolishment of the so-called “blue laws” regarding Sunday observance. However, he closed-the stores up tight on Sunday, after complaints had heen made to him, for which action he s subjected to considerable criticism. F caused the arrest of the late Henry Woodward, a well known druggist, for selling a cigar on Sunday. The case ‘was taken to the court, where Judge Pearne handed down a decision in_favor of Mr. Woodward. » Professor Fisher was defeated when he ran for mayor again, but two years later was again successful, winning by less than 100 votes. ‘Within the past few years he has frequently appeared before the legis- lature, earnestly advocating employ- ers’ llabllity and workingmen’'s com pensation laws. He also worked for a Bill for a_more liberal Sunday. His recent address at Hartford, in which he favored a “wide open” Sunday, caused considerable comment. Correspondence Preceding Resignation Professor Fisher made public tonight the correspondence that had passed between him and President Shanklin. The first letter written by Presi dent Shanklin under date of Jan. 27, 1913, follows: “My Dear Professor Fisher: The press- far and wide contains articles in reference to the churches of the country reputed to have been uitered by you in a recent address in Hartford. “I desire to know whether or not you have been correctly reported. If you have been incorrectly reported, will you please give me an exact statement of what you did say? “Very sincerely yours, “WILLIAM SHANKLI Middletown, Professor Fisher's reply, under the same date, follows: “My Dear Dr. Shanklin: n Teply to your leiter just re- ceived, T would say that the report of my remarks before the Get-Together club in Hartford last Wednesday evenine was substantially misleading. Partly by the omission of quallfying statements which made the setting and shape the interpretation, partly by ascribing to me words and state- ments which were not mine at all, and perhaps partly by the striking Bead- lines which raised brief Incidental re- marks into the nrominence of the principal theme, the original report, upon which apparently many news- paper quotations and comments have been based, was, as I should judge, do- cidedly unfair. This judgment of mine is confirmed in some degree at least by the fact that the paper in which the report appeared was constrained by criticism in Hartford to offer me an_opportunity to make corrections. “There was, however, a large under- Iving element’ of truth in the report. I dld not sey that I would ‘throw Sun- day wide open, or anything else ot closely similar meaning. But I d1d say that I would allow very great freedom of Sunday observance. Allowing & man pretty nearly anything that did not disturb the relieious or other use of the day by others. I did say that 1 saw no religious inconsistency in a man’s having an ‘uproariously good time’ on Sunday, but I%dded that there should be no disturbance of the religlous_or other uses of the day by others. T did say that I would or that ‘I believed that I would close up the churches temporarily as an experi- ment’ But I stated my reasons with emphasls, because so many good Te- ligious peovle had come to think of churchgoing as a great part, or the whole of religious duty, or because if there were no churches open for a time these people would be constrained to turn to more important religious dutles of kindly service and like. Just here I quoted the declaratton of James as to the meaning of religion pure and undefiled. “The above will perhaps enable you to judge for yourself as to the degree of accuracy with which I was report- ed; but for slight amplification of what I have just written I am enclosing a §oPy of & letler which T sent in correc- on of the first report and which was printed ix” the paper first reporting in its issuo of last Saturdpy morning, Jan. 25. “Of course, not even all what T am now placing at vour disposal can make entirely clear my general atti- tude as to Sunday observances; but it is probably, guite-enough to You of Arizona Lost MESSENGER FAILS TO ARRIVE AT WASHINGTON TIME LIMIT EXPIRES Started For National Caj Ten Days Ago—Arizona Can be Deprived of Its ¢ Vote in the Electoral College. Washington, Jan. 27.—Lost: The electoral vote of Arizona and its bear- er. Finder please send at once to the office of the vice president of the United States. Carries Three Votes. Senators and representatives of the baby state of Arizona sent broadcast tonight the foregoing notice when at 6 oclock the time limit had expired for receiving returns from the national election last November, and Wilfred T. Webb, custodian _of three perfectly good votes for Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R. Marshall, had failed to ap- pear at the vice president’s ofice in the capitol. Arizona Keenly Disappointed. Arizona’s patriots and legislators were much perplexed and disappoint- ed, for, though no political upheaval would be caused should the three lit- tle votes never be found, they did not want missing from history’s archives Arizona’s first vote for the chief exec- utive of the nation. Left Ten Days Age. For twenty-four hours before the vice president's office was closed for the night with every electoral vote ex- cept Arizona’s on file, a systematic search of Washington hotels and clubs had been conducted in vain for Elector Webb, who, it was known, had left Phoenix with his credentials more than ten days ago, due to arrive here Saturday. Until a late hour tonight the wires were kept singing with mes- sages to points between here and St. Louls in the hope of discovering some information as to the whereabouts of the missing messenger. Last Heard from at St. Loui Webb was last heard from in St. Louts four or five days ago, but his friends cowld get no word of him from there tonight. Louisville was also sought for Information, but none was forthcoming. Arizona Might Lose lts Vote. Under the law the elector chosen to Dbring to Washington the returns from Arizona should have filed his. papers by 6 o'clock tonight at the latest. If the penalty for failure should be en- forced Arizona would lose its vote in the electoral college and the official messenger lose his mileage for ' the trip. The duplicate set of Arizona's ballots that were sent by mail are on hand and it is probable that no pen- alty will be enforced if Webb arrives tomorrow. Meanwhile Arizona’s rep- resentatives in congress are mervous- ly awaiting @evelopments. WOOLEN MEN ARGUE FOR THE PRESENT TARIFF. Say Reduction of Duty on Woelen Goods Will Mean Lower Wages. ‘Washington, Jan, 27.—Protectionists and tariff revisionists had a running fire in the house ways and means com- mittee which was continued through- Sut the dav. The wool tarift was the issue, and the manufacturers presented an almost unbroken alignment against reduction of duty on woolen cloth and ready-made clothing, though favoring reduction of the duty on raw wool. It was the most strenuous fight made at this session of congress against the democratic plan-for revision of the du- | ties in the coming extra sesssion. “Your schedule has never been cut in the memory of living men,” suggest- ed Representative Palmer of Pennsyl- vania to O. M. Stafford, president of a | Cleveland enterprise. Mr. Stafford con- tended that the tariff could be reduced in the event the democratic party chose | to take the responsibility for a possi- ble reduction of wages of the woolen mill employes. The witness testified to 8 per cent. dividends from his mill last year, and Representative Harrison of New York suggested that it was rather unbecoming for him in view of the big profits to hold out a threat of wage re- ductiqn. Governor Fletcher of Vermont states that so much opposition has developed to the bill providing for the steriliza- tion of defective criminals that he would postpone executive action until he had heard both sides. ) see how and in what light I stood last Wednesday evening, and that I am sure is all of your present wants. “Very sincerely yours, “WILLARD. C. FISHER.” President Shankin replied lows, under the same date My Dear Professor Fisher: “Your letter of this date is just re- ceived. Even after consideration of your explanation of your position I find it difficult to believe that anyone with a just appreciation of the work which the churches have done and are doing for the\ religious and moral life of the community should seriously pro- pose the closing of the churches as a temporary experiment. “I am constrained to the conviction that vour attitude in the matfer is so far out of harmony with the spirit of the college which, though no wise a sectarian, is and always has been pro- foundly in sympathy with the Chris- tian churches, that your continuance in your present official position is unde- sirable for the college or for yourself. “I feel compelled, therefore, to re- quest you to offer your resignation. “Most_sincerely yours, “WILLIAM ARNOLD SHANKLIN.” Plr fessor Fisher made the following reply. My Dear Dr. Shanklin: Of course T shall respond at once to your request for my resignation. Here it is. It is given cheerfully, and, as I trust, in full appreciation of the situation “I do not express, I do not even un- dertake to frame for myself a judg- ment as to what I might think the correct course for the college to take in such a case. But my judgment is no needed, and it might be biased. I am, however, free enough from preju- dice to see very clearly that a college with the history and the constituency and the support of Wesleyan is not exactly the place for a man who holds such views as mine and who cannot suppress them. I leave the colleges, therefore, without a trace of ill-will toward anybody connected with it In- deed, I do with the earnest wishes for the institution to which I have given the twenty best years of my life. “Very cordially your: as fol- | = WEEKS WITHDRAWS Turks Is Brief PLENIPOTENTIARIES WILL EX- AMINE IT TODAY NOT YET SUBMITTED Says Attitude of Turkey Leaves No Alternative Than to Break Off N gotiations—Suggests New Proposals. London, Jan. 27.—The special com- mittee appointed by the Balkan pleni- potentiaries drafted a note today noti- fying the Turkish _plenipotentiaries that they propose to break off the peace negotiations. Thé note was not submitted” to the Balkan_ delegations, which held no meeting today. Instead the delegates gave a luncheon in cele- bration of the saint day of Saba, the patron-saint of the orthodox church. This was attended by several of the military members of the delegations Wwho are leaving London to rejoin the armies in expectation of a resumption of hostilities. Note is Very Brief. The note as drafted is very brief. Tt reminds the Turks that since January 6 the sittings of the peace conference have been suspended, without Turkey making any move towards their re- sumption, while the events which have occurred in Constantinople are the best proof that Turkey's answer to the demands of the allles concerning Adri- anople and the Aegean Islands will be negative. To Give Luncheon to Dslegates. On this account, unless the Turkish delegation has fresh proposals to make, the mote points out the allies see no alternative but definitely to break off the negotiations. The Servian ex-premier, M. Novako- viteh, will give a luncheon on Tues- day in honor of the other delegations, after which a meeting will be held for the purpose of examining the note. Thus another day will be gained before facing the question of re-opening the war. “Obstinacy of Allies. ” Rechad Pasha, head of the Turkish | delegation, in an interview tonight said | that he deeply regretted the obstinacy | of the allies, which he declared was | not_only against Turkey’s, but against their own true interests. FROM BUSINESS. New United States Senator Severs Connection With Brokerage Concern. ‘Washington, Jan. Representa- tive John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, who has been elected to the United States senate, today announced that on Feb. 1 he would sever his connec- tion with the firm of Hornblower & Weeks, bankers and brokers, of Bos- ton. Mr. Weeks said he was with- drawing as far as possible from all business connections in order to give his entire time to official duties. HALF A MONTH OF PARCEL POST Saved Money to Shippers and Has Proved No Hardship to Employes. ‘Washington, Jan. 27.—Not only has the parcel post saved the people of the United States in the first fifteen days of its existence more than a half mil- lion dollars, according to Senator Bourne, author of the law, but it has not proved a hardship to postoffice employes. Senator Bourne announced | today that reports from 45 leading cities of the country, which produce almost half of the postal revenues, showed that during the 12 working days between Jan. 1 and 15 a total of 5,094,027 outgoing parcels were des- patched at a cost of $395,286, or about 7.7_cents a parcel. “Under :* postage rates previously in force, one cent per ounce,” said the senator, “the postage would have been an average of 18 1-2 cents per parcel, or a total of $942,294.99, thus showing a saving to shippers of $547,508.12 on 12 days’ business. It should also be remembered that the usual minimum charge of express companies Is 25 cents per parcel, whereas the average charge on the parcel post packages was only 7.7 cents.” PRISON SENTENCE STANDS. Though Added Penalty of Fine of 700 Years in Jail Was Set Aside. ‘Washington, Jan. 27.—The supreme | court declined today to interfere with the five year penitentiary sentence imposed upon J. Thorburm Ross, for- mer president of the Trust Guaranty and Title company of Portlan, Ore. convicted of larceny of state educa- tional funds in his bank during the Panic of 1807 The trial court in addition to the five vear punishment imposed » fine of $576,853.74, or an alternate confine- ment in the county jail amounting to 790 vears. The supréme court of Ore- gon had set aside the fine and alter- nate confinement a&s excessive. - SUICIDE’S WARNING TO TENANTS Put Notice on His Door That Gas Was On Full Pressure.

The gas has been on since midnight under high pressure.” Rough and Tumble Politics. Chicago, Jan. 27.—Rough and tum- ble fighting, quelled by the police, to- day marked the filing of petitions of aldermanic candidates for the spring primaries.
