Cattle suspected- of being affected with foot an - mouth disease are said to have been found in the eastern part of the town of Killingly, but no verifica- tion of this is obtainable, and it is positively _denied in some quarters. Samples of milk were taken recently from the cans sent out by all shippers in a Rhode Island company car that runs daily from East Killingly into Providence, that tests might be made to establish whether there were indi- cations of the disease. These samples were taken from the milk sent by pro- ducers along the Rhode Island part of the line as well as on the Connecticut side. The result of the tests has not been made known. CATHOLIC ‘CHJRCHES ENTERED. All Hallows’ at Moosup and St. John's at Plainfield Robbed and Desecrated by Vandals. Vandals pillaged All Hallows' church at Moosup aud St. John's church at Plainfield during Sunday night. Dis- covery of the facts was not made un- til Monday morning. Entrance in each case was gained by forcing the doors. At All Hallows’ church the tabernacle was damaged in the effort to reach its contents and the altar was otherwise defaced. Poor boxes in the were rifled of their contents, z also done at St John's church. the Plainfield church the amount of money secured was trifling, probably not more than $3 or $4. The chief damage at St. John’s is to the church itself. off the rear entrance and a cellar win dow was smashed in. The main en trance doors show marks indicating that an attempt was made to force them with an iron bar or some such in- strument. In Pliinfield the altar was not disturbed nor an attempt made to break open the tabernacle. It is ap- parent that only money or other things | of value were sought. Greater effort was made at All Hal- lows’ church to get everything of value and to this is undoubtedly due grea(e_r amount of sacrilegipus damage one. atively not more important than at St. John’s church, though the losses sustained were somewhat greater. Rev. . ¥ astor at All Hallows’ church, Rev. W. A. Keci. St. John's FUNERAL. Mrs. Joshua Hill, Funeral services for Mrs. Joshua Hill were held at her home on Broad street Monday afternoon, Rev. H. N.

Special Town Meeting Votes Against Rescinding Vote Laying 12-Mill Tax. A majority of the voters assembled in the town hall Monday afternoon at the special town meeting voted, in an indirect way, that they were not fa- vorahle to increase the rate of taxation from 12 mills, as fixed for the present financial year at the adjourned town meeting held recently. The vote came on Judge M. A. Shumway’s motion to rescind a vote passed at the adjourned annual town meeting. Of the 222 votes cast, 58 were for rescinding, 164 against. * As this vote was regarded as a test of strenzth between the factions willing to rescind previous votes that appropriations might be changed and the tax rate raised and the faction in favor of keeping the’ tax rate where it 1s, there> was little need of further votes or more argument and the meet- ing adjourned without _transacting business of importance. W. H. Barron was moderater at the meeting, ’ Locks ana catches were broken | the | The rewards therefor were rel- | occurred Saturday t. .The deer— the one told about in The Bulletin's Putnam news of Monday— had been found dead in the road Saturday after- noon. The carcass, found near the Torrey's barn and the affalr came to the attention of Messers. Day and Kies, who were in this city, and they went to Putnam Helghts in an autom and inquired about the matter. Attorney Torrey took them to the barn and showed them the carcass and the conversation was wholly amicable until the statae officers stated their in- tention to take the carcass away with them, on the authority of Suverin- tendent Crampton, whom Mr. Dav h~d called on the telephone for advice In the matter. Mr. Torrey refused to deliver the carcass, claiming that there is nothing in the game laws of the staate that required him so to do, he having come into possession of the nlsn.t as happened in the case in ques- . Day then drove back to Put- nam and had another talk by tele- phone with Superintendent Crampton. His instructions from his chief were to go back to Putram Heights and get the deer or arrest Mr Torrev if he refused to deliver it up, brinzing the attorney to Putnam to have him get bonds for release if necessary. Mr. Day returned to the Heights and had another talk with Mr. Torrey who was notified that he would be ar- rested. The attorney still refused to make the delivery and eventually went into his home and closed the door. Aft- er another talk. a third one, with Su- perinte~dent Crampton at New aH- ven Mr. Day went to the door of the Torrey home to make the arrest. Mr. Torrey warned the officer not to enter but the latter did so and ‘a scuffle en- RIAME® CO'0%A"0 (0°LCOMP YIE" attorney successfully but not until after he had on his wrist and forearm for the the affalr, 5 e by threasen ed anq Mr. handcuffs on him he told that he had no authority that gal to proceed along the lines following and that should he force arrest, he, Mr. Torrey, would take such future legal action in his own be- half as might seem necessary. Mr. Torrey says that after Mr. Day desisted from the attempt to arrest him, Mr. Kles being present at the time, he went into a sitting room of the home and asked Mr. Day, who ac- companied him, to lock through book of game laws and show him his authority for .taking away the car- cass under conditions existing in the case or for arresting him. After a conference Mr. Day to let the matter go over until Monday. . « Monday Mr. Day came to Putnam and had a conference with Mr. Tor- rey and_ State Attorney Charfes Searls. Mr. Torrey was satisfled with the outcome of this, but had little to say as to what his future action in the case may be. Mr, Torrey in talking about the mat- ter made it very clear that such ac- tion as he has taken or may take in the case Is purely In the interest of the people of the state. He contends that there is nothing in the law that would warrant his not keeping the carcass of the deer, coming into his possession as it did, or no right to arre=t him for refusing to give it up. He did not kill the deer legally or illegally but took it from the high- way It is understood that the contentior of Superintendent Crampton was that the deer was the property of the state and should be delivered over to state’s authorities. Mr. Torrey laid special emphasis on the point that he cares nothing about having the carcass. but he does care a creat deal about the rights of the vecple of the state in matters of this kind and their liberty of action. Mr. Torrey is not at all bitter against Mr, Day mor Mr. Kies, for he knows thev were following out, after their telephone conversations, the instruc- tions of their chief. Statement by Rev. Henry J. Atkinson, Who Investigated Con- ditions There as a Representative of the Social Commis- sion of the Congregational Churches. g New York, Nov. 23.—In a report to the commission on the church and so- cial service, of the federal council of the Churches of Christ in Amerlca, made public here today, Rev. Henry A. Atkinson, associate secretary, as investigator arraigrs the Colorado Coai companies for taeir attitude i the recent labor troubles in ihat ctate. Rev. Atkinson was sent to Colorade and also to the copper mining d.s- tricts of Michigan, where there were recent industrial difficulties, by the So- clal Service Commission of the Con- gregational churches and the commis- sion of the council of churches, and empowered to represent both bodies in his investigations into the labor con: ditions. After reviewing the trouble in Col- orade his report says: Companies Dominate Politics. “The coal companies dominate the politics in those countries where the mines are located. They have brought about the election of the judges, sheriffs, coronors and assessors. ° They can do about as they please so far as the law is concerned. A mass of evidence was brought out to show that they control the political. social and economic situation. Jefferson Farr, sheriff of Huerfano county has been in office for 15 years. He is known as the ‘king of Huerfano coun- ty’ ‘What he says goes'—as one of his admirers put it to me. It is not what he says, however, but what tha coal companies say. These companies have secured his election as well as that of other officers and they. control them.” Impossible to Enforce the Law. Further, the report says: “It is im- possible to enforce the law and the courts are practically closed to those who in any way incur the enmity of the coal companies; thus economic jus tice is denied the men through the manipulation of poliitical affairs. Thirty ivears of such oppression, industrial, |social and political, have taught the miners that their only hope is in the wn'ons. An individual counts for nothin, if he protests he loses his job; If he makes too much trouble he is dealt with by hired gunmen, who are kept at the mines to do the will of the companies and help enforce the law against the workers. Of the actions of the militia, Rev. Atkinson Informed the commission as follow: Sofdiers Gladly Received by Strikers. “Tha soldlers were gladly received by the strikers, for they expected they would have some protection, but their hopes were in vain. It soon became evident that the militia was under the control of the coal companies. “Men and women were thrown into jall without any charge being lods- ed against them and held incommuni- cado. Constitdtion of State Violated. “The constitution of the state. was set aside. The militla met and es- corted strikebreakers who were brousht into the state. The militia instead of aiming to maintain order and secure justice, was used to break the strike. Special attack was made upon the Ludlow colony, it being the largest in the district. There. were nine hundred people living there: two hundred and seventy-two of them chil- dren,, twenty-one having been born durf the winter. There were 29 na- tionalities and yet they llved in peace. Tt was this colony against which the militia. including the mine guards directed their fire on April 20. A" number of the inhabitants were killed and the tents were destroyed by re. Militia in Employ of Companies. “In the investigation following the Ludlow battle, it was shown that manv of the militia’ who were receiving pay fro~ the state were at the same time in the employ of the coal companies as guards, thus they were - Teceiving double pay. They were really employes of the r‘,tc)mpunlec acting in the name of ~wine the conditions as they prevalled in Michigan several cor- -isions are stated in the report. In mentioning welfare work that has been | con8ucted by the companies the re- tport says: Lack Fair Wage and Right Condition. “No amonnt of welfare work. how- ever admirable it may be, will take the place of fair wages and right condi- tions of labor.” As to violence it is stated“that the churches are opposed to violence, no matter what the provocation. Such 'nfuu reflect upon the workers them- -elves.” In regard to unions the report has lhfms he .r?:l! 13 rkmen to 13 of wor organize has been and is being denied by the un-Christian atti- tude of the mine operators, who thus deprive their employes of an essential means of self-defense, the right to bar- gain collectively for their labor.” Hiring of Gunmen Deplored. The report deplored the practice oi alowing private companies to brin gunmen irto a community in whic! there are Indu trial troubles and stil more deprecates such men be give authority as special officers of the gov ernment by the state and local au- thorities, The report then continues as fillows: Denial of Constitutional Rights. “In Colorado men and women were thrown into prison and kept there without any charge being lodged against them, on the ground of ‘mili- tary necessity.’ The denial of consti- tutional rights and llberties weaker re=pect for the law and its agents and tend to plung the community all the deeper into confusion and lawless- ne: “In connectio~ with these strikes one of the most pressing questions is that of the ownership and the control of the stock. We call upon our united churches to study in the Mcit of the ethics of Jesus the question of such absentee ownership and the responsi- bility growing out of it.” GERMANY’S REMARKABLE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT In Past Quarter Century No Nation Made Such a Bid for Foreign Trade. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington D. C., Nov. 23—Some of the salient facts of Germany’s remark- able growth and development in recent years are contained in a statement given to the press today by Gilbert H. Grosvenor, director and editor of the National Geographic society, of Wash- ington. Thg statement is as follows: “Only Belgium, Holland, Japan and the United Kingdom have denser pop- ulations than Germany. That country manages to crowd a population of 67,- 000,000 people into a territory so small that you could add New England to it and still have an area emaller than the state of Texas. “Possessing only one-fifteenth of the area of Europe, Germany produces one-seventh of Europe’'s wheat, one- fifth of its oats, one-fourth of its rye, and one-third of its potatoes. “The average farm in Germany is very small. Out of a total of 5,756,000 farms, nearly one-half are smaller than 2 1-2 acres, and less than 700,000 are larger than 25 acres. Of our own 5,737,000 farms, more than three-fifths contain upward of 60 acres. “The Germans use more commercial fertilizer than any other three nations on earih, and yet, with all the coaxing | resulting from Intensive farming and small farms, Germany is not able, in ordinary times, to produce enough foodstuff to meet the demands of its people. It imported farm produce to the value of a quarter of a billion dol- ' lars more than it exported during a recent year. and groceries and confec- tions to the amount of $120,000,000 above the exports of those commodi- ties. The balance of raw materials was $100,000,000 agains tthe empire. “In the past quarter of a century no other nation made such a wonderful bid for foreign trade as Germany. ‘While the trade of the United States increased 275 per cent. in that time and Great Britain’s increased 100 per cent., Germany's increased 300 per cent. The secret of this success l'es in the efforts to meet every condition- of every merket into which German goods went. Germany’'s merchant ma-~ rine in 25 years rose from a negligible quantity to 4,850 ships, with a net reg- ister tonnaee of 3,153,000 tons, and em- ploying 78,000 sailors. “Germany takes a different view of railroad rebates from that of the United States. A small shipper is al- ways renuired to pay higher rates than a biez shipper, and goods passing through Germany vet lower rates than goods shipped from one German point to another. Railroad rates on export merchandise are much lower than do- mestic rates. When the Nuremburg tovmakers want to as<ict the Hambure Kriss Kringle the freight rate is Per ton:. when they want to the New York Santa Claus it is only $5.83 per ton. “The theory of the German govern- ment is that every able bodled man is entitled to work and that the gov ment must find something for him to do if he cannot fnd it himself. Wher- ever there is a disagreement between a lahorer and his emvlover it must be settled i a_court ervented frr ‘hrt por- more.

Ottawa, Ont.,, Nov. 23.—One hundred thousand men In the United States have offered to emlist in Canada for service in Europe, according to Major General Hughes, Capadian minister of militia: He made the statement to the Canadian club today in reply to requests regarding the theory that Ger- mans in the United States might at- tempt a rald across the border.
