The statement nss | been ‘under consideration for several days and in Secretary Bryan's confer- ences with members of the diplomatic corps he has made it plain that the forthcoming pronouncement would de- fine clearly the attitude of the United States. Such a statement, it is thought, not only would reiterate the views that the United States can never recognizo a government established by arbitrary force, but wiil Zive its reasons for refusing to recognize any acts of the new congress either as to the validity of Joans or concessions and poini out the steps necessary to a solution of the problem, Foreign Encouragement. . Tt was apparent that.developments in varfous foreign capitals brought encouragement to administration offi- als today and there was a feeling among them that the desire of tha United States to prevent interference by the powers virtually has been ac- complished. Premier Asquith speech explain- ing that Great wished to do nothing that was iendly to tne i United States, semi-official ass from Berlin that no financial a: tions ance would be given Huerta by Ger- many. a definite understanding with France that nothing will be da France to embarrass the processes which the United States has selected to solve the Mexigan problem, a ances from the Japanese ambassador that the sending of the armored cruls: Izumo to Mexican waters was for no political purpose, but merely to extend protection to Japanese subjects, if necessary—all tended to strengthen tie bellef here that the Washington s ernment fipally had secured the moral support of the other world powers in its efforts to unravel the Mexicar tan- gle. It also is felt that from no part |of Burope will Huerta get financial assistance. The fear reflected in some of the de- spatches from abroad. ihat the ov throw of Huerta mizht produce a state of anarchy in Mexico City, unless a strong substitute werc immediately provided, agrees with the point of view of many senators who have been dis- cussing that phase of the situation with President Wilson. The Washing- ton administration has taken cogniz- ance of this eventuality, and if Huerta | retires in accordance with the pro- gramme desired here, it is said, there need be little fear of any physical dis- turbance in Mexico City.

Hostile Elements. n the plan of the United States to | afford Huerta every opportunity to re- tire peaceably, there is a desire for a nite understanding also as to who the succeeding provisional president {would be.

LAWYER DEFIES THE HOSPITAL TRUSTEES. Refuses to Leave the Room at Worces- ter Investigation. Worcester, Mass., Nov. 11—Warm proceedings marked the Investigation at Worcester State Hospital this aft- ernoon following the refusal of the ma- ority of the board then present to al- low Attorney Patrick H. Kelley, Bos- ton, who was.present to represent some of the petitioning nurses, to take part in the hearing. Following this edict, which Judge John W. Mason, William F. Whitte- more and Dr. L. Vernon Briggs reach- ed after more tham an hours discus- sion, Attorney Kelley ignored an order of Judge Mason to stop talking. Attorney Kelley said he has been hired for the hearing by physicians whose names he cannot disclose. He read a list of nurses who he said have discharged John A. Haien, who has been conducting the hearing of Dr. G. W. Galvin, original representative of the nurses “The board has ruled that they don’t want to hear you now and that any- thing you and your clients may have to offer in objection should be sub- mitted in writing, for consideration Wednesday,” said Judge Mason. “You have got to hear me; vou can- not stop me. 1 will talk as long as I please,” retorted Atiorney Kelley and continued in_ spite of efforts made to stop him. During the afternoon At- torney Kelley charged some members of the state board with seeking to conceal the real facts of the case. Attorney Kelley and Mr. Haien clashed during an afternoon recess when Mr. Haicn disputed that nurses mentioned by Aitdrney - Kelley had rep; qlatvd Haien as counsel. M%” Haien maintaineq that Attorney Kelley was appearing without due au- thority. Hot words followed and Judge Mason and Dr. B. Woodward, a trustee, objected and askeq Attorney Kelley to leave the room. “Leave the room?” said Attorney Kelley. “1 shall do nothing of the kind. 1 shall stay here as long as I please and you cannot put me out. The board is in recess now. This is the commonwealth’s room.” Judge Mason and Dr. Woodward claimed the room belonged to trustees of the state hospital. | LARGE SALARIES PAID i MOTION PICTURE ACTORS Some Receive $500 to $1000 Week Says | Film Company President. 12—The so-called trust, defendant in a has not eliminated ling totl nk L.

OF ABOUT PUTNAM FIRES Line of Defense Indicated by Cross- Examination—Mrs. Bennett Tells of His Proposal of Marriage to Her, (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Willimantic, Nov, 12.—The first in- timation of a possible defense in the Howarth arson case became apparent during Wednesday's testimony. At- torney Harvey in his cross examina- tion of Mrs. Bennett, seemed to de- sire to bring out, so far as was Dos- sible, the fact that Howarth was in fact her attorney and that he intended |t10 go west on bona fide business for er. It also appeared that the defense might endeavor to show that How- arth’s alleged statement “This hand set all the Putnam fires” was given under the influence of cocaine or liquor and was subsequently retracted, Both the woman detective, Mrs. Ben- nett, and State Polliceman Hurley, came out of their cress examination smilingly, without discredit, .in spite of a long gruelling by Attorneys Har- vey and King. An attempt by the lat- ter to discredit Hurley's testimony by forcing him to compare his written notes with the stenographer’s excerpt of evidence was stopped by the court. Counsel Knew About Crinkly Paper. Much time was consumed in an at- tempt to mix up the witnesses in re- gard to the cocktails and wine served at Mrs. Bennett’s home, but the results were seemingly nil - Attorney Harvey’s familiarity with the fact that ‘“crinkly” paper was wrapped around such bottles raised a laugh which called for action by the sheriff. Two More Dictagraph Witnesres. At the close of the afternoon ses- sion two more dictagraph witnesses were introduced by the state, who tes- tified to admissions by Cain in How- arth’s presence at the Brookiyn jafl September 11th and furnished the only excitement of the day. How the Prisoners Appear. Howarth begins to show signs of the strain in his features, and appears to have lost flesh. HIs flancee was again absent. Cain expremsed himself as ‘“very hopeful as to the outcome of my part of the proceedings,” and shows more interest in the trial than at its in- ceptlon. The promised sensation by the state has not vet heen sprung. Mrs. Bennett's Evidence. Mrs. Bennett resumed the stand, at the opening of the morning session for cross examination by Attorney Harvey. She "had visited the jail in Brook- Iyn, she testified. several times since the conversations of September 9th and 10th, on the invitation of-Mr. Hur- “Did some writing in connection with this case on the first visit, and belleved she wrote also on her sec- ond visit. Had heard Cain talk at the Jail in . Hurley's presence since the 10th of September, but had had no_conversation with him. During the course of the trial sho has come back and forth each day in an automobile with Mr. Hurley and Attorney Back. Mr. Hurley had spent the night at her home in Da ielson each night, and they had talked about the case, of course. They had made no comparison of their notes. Letters to Howarth. Questioned as to her letters to How- arth, she said the first one was writ- ten May 16th. Witness identified a post card from herself to Howarth June 17th and 26th," a letter of June 26th, anoth of July 14th, one of July 20th, July 28th, Aug, 5th, Aug. 16th Aug. 19th, Aug. 25th, Aug. 26th and Sept. 6th. he o identified the vis- iting card left at Howarth's office on the occasion of her first visit. Th card had writing on the back of it. Marriage a Business Proposition, Howarth at one time said he though: it was time for him to settle down and get married and then asked he if she would consider marriage s 2 business proposition. Witness cf the subject on that occasion. Howarth never made love to he yut if he 1 had been an older man, she would have thought him eager to marry h At the same time he was making | statements about other girls, about th res and so forth. Witness did not | think Howarth consldered her a madel { woman. Tho only reason he had f S0 thinking was that she desired h to_engage in burning the shafthouse. Witness denled that she was the first to mention the candle method of burning buildings, or that there was any magazine or paper in her home describing the method, nor had she any model of the sort at any time in her home, n Never Came Uninvited. Howarth never entered her home without an invitation, either by tele- | phone, letter or word of mouth. She | ! was continually after him, to get him {to the house, His Price Was High, No price was ever et for the burn- of the shafthouse, though Howarth mentioned $10,000 - at one tin and his price was high" He showed no reluciance at any time to discuss the subject, and was eager to do the work for her. | Witness never told Howarth rthe size of the shafthouse, At thelr last conversation. on the 31st of August, | he said he was still willing to go west with her. 8aid He Set Every Fire in Putnam. On one occasion defendant acted as though something was on his mind. She said she was afraid he had cold feet. Defendant had told her he set every fire in questfon in Putnam, but | had net explained how each one was | set. He never denied to her that he had set the fire, but wouldn’t talk about it any more, Offered no ex- cuse at any time te get away from that admission, An Imaginary Shafthouse.

Mr. Hurley and she chose an imaginary building in the west for use in their plans, so that Howarth could not actually see it.

MEDICAL CERTIFICATES Le g Them of Bride- grooms Favored—Repeal of Summer lation Req Hotel License Law Desired. Waterbury, Conn., Nov. 12—The 47th annual meeting of the general conference of the Congregational church of Connecticut came to a close here tonight with the adoption of a number of resolutions and an address on “The Church and the Community” by Prof. Willlam- B. Bailey of Yale university. Oppose a Commercial Sunday. The conference took a decided stand upon the questions of Sunday observ- ance and eugenic marriages. The dele~ gates unanimously adopted a resolu- tion repudiating the idea of enforcing religious observance by law, but call- ed upon the state, to protect “the peace of the day and more effectively to pro- tect the people from the commercial- ism of Sunday by unnecessary labor and ,business, professional games and entertainments.” Favor Eugenic Marriag The resolution adopted on the mar- riage question follows: “This confer- ence considers that the duty of pro- moting by moral influence the purity of the family and wellare of the home devolves in an especiai manner upon the church. Therefore, this conference will look with favor upon legislation forbidding the issue of marriage li- censes to men not provided with ade- quate medical certification of freedom rtrom communicable diseases.” State Farm for Drunks Favored. Other resolutlons adopted put the conterence on record as being in favor of a state farm for drunkards, the lim- itation of saloons to one for 1,000 peo- ple, and the repeal of the Sunday li- censes for summer hotels. Professor Balley pointed out the so- clal shortcomings of the church and urged the more extensive use of church property for the benefit of the community. He advocates the use of parish houses for dances and the for- mation of clubs for girls and boys of the neighbornood. “I know that they will wear out the carpets,” he said, “but to preserve’its carpets is not the chief end of the church’s existence.” Pleas for Home Missions. At the afternoon session Rev. Gen- naro Giordano of Torrington attacked the Catholic church as aiming to ac- quire in America_the power lost in Europe. Rev. Canio Cerraato of Bridgeport also discussed the work of Italian pastors in giving instruction in citizenship and patriotism. Rev. J. Brownlee Voorhees of Hart- ford pointed out the vastly enlarged interpretation of the social aspect of home missions in his address, and Rev. Sherrod Soule discussed whe “high calling of home missions,” plea&ing for the sustaining of the church in strug- gling and strategic fields. Baldwin a Missionary Director.

A scientific study has brough: about the adoption of the attitude of constant repression as the immediate method and absolute suppression of E:t])mmer(‘iahzed vice as the ultimate ideal. Parental Neglect a Factor. Neglect by the parentd in bringing up their daughters is a blg factor in the making of white slaves. Moth- ers are often too busy attending clubs, theatres and card parties to find time to look after their children., Fathera have a keener interest in their prop- erties than they have for the welfara of their daughter: They let thir chil- dren grow up like the weeds In the prairie, to care for and look aftor themselves,” Farms and Homes as Refuges.
