Much of the estate is in high grade securities. Jail Prisoners to Plead.

At a meeting of the trustees of the Windham County Savings bank Mon- day afternoon a semi-annual dividend at the rate of four per cent. per an- num was declared, to be payable in April. Since the bank was reopened in October. 1913, it has enjoyed a mer- ited degree of success, pleasing alike to officials and depositors. This is the third two per cent. dividend declared since the bank reopened, and it so happened in this case that the divi- dend was earned by the close of 1914. In the legislature at this time is pending a bill providing for an amend- ment to the bank's charter, which was drawn in 1855, and has become anti- quated. The amendment is in effect a new charter, embracing all the good features of the present one, but with- out radical changes. The new charter is said to be a model one and follows closely the lines of most charters be- ing drawn for savinzs banks in Con- necticut at this time, For Your Baby.

Washington, March 1.—Private ad- vices received here from headquarters of the Ward line in New York report the blowing up of the Mexican gun- boat Progresso in_Progresso harbor vesterday with a loss of ten of her crew. One hundred and twenty-seven survivors are being taken from Pro- gresso to Vera Cruz on the Ward liner Morro Castle.

The Morro Castle, it was said, had left Progresso for Vera Cruz after unload- ing only a part of the freight con- signed to Progresso. The message said, according to representative of the line, that the Morro Castle had takn aboard 127 “rescued men” at Progresso. Although the gunboat Progresso was not men- tioned in the message, according to this representative, it was assumed here that the report that there had been an explofion was true. Apparently the message had been censored, it was said. They had been cut and garbled in transit and were almost wholly unintelligible.

The conspiracy, it is charged in the indict- ments, was formed on Aug. 1 last and included the defendants named and other persons unknown to the grand jury. In furtherance of the conspiracy it is allewed in the indictments, Su- perintendent Kotter on Aug. 5, 1914, consulted with Jehn H. Gaus of the Gaus steamship line, officials of the Berwind White Coal Mining company and Wessels, Kulenkampff & company, exporters, regarding the clearance of the Berwind. It is further charged in the indictments that on the same day Karl Bunz and George Kotter consult- ed with Gustave Kulenkampff, a mem- ber of the last named firm, about the clearance of the steamship Lorenzo with a cargo of coal for Buenos Aires. It was the firm of Wessels, Kulen- kampff & company which cleared the Lorenzo from this port. The Lorenzo had aboard 3,977 tons of coal. The same concern cleared the Berwind, which had aboard 2,737 tons of coal. The Berwind steamed from New York on Aug. 5 for Buenos Afres and ar- rived at Rio Janeiro on Sept: 18, more than two weeks overdue. Madison.—The building industry at Madison is flourishing.

Speculation as to the future political and commercial results of the. possible capture of Constantinople by the allies and of the formidable passageway thereto is overshadowed just at pres- ent by a consideration of the immedi- ate military benefits which will result from such a situation. Once in pos- session of the waterway and of the Turkish capital through the greatness of their fleet, which includes great battle cruisers like the Vengeance, the allies could reckon upon these im- portant developments without delay. The dissipation of the Ottoman re- sistance and offensive against the Russians in- Transcaucasia and the consequent release of large bodies of Russian troops for service against the Germans and Austrians, the ending of all fear of a remewal of Turkish ef- forts to invade Egypt and capture the Suez Canal, with the resultant that Great Britain would be able to employ more than 100,000 troops in land op- erations against the Turks; the check- ing of Turkish pressure against Rus- sian and British influence in Persia; the removal of the Turkish menace in the Balkan states and the increase of allled influence in the Levant, and the opportunity afforded the allied squad- ron to dispose once for all of the Tur- kish fleet. One political consideration is likewise of present importance. That is the effect which an allied tri- umph in Turkey will have upon peace propogandists in Russia. However much Russia may be wearied by past or future German successes in Po- land, the prospect of a realization of her dream of domination in Turkey ‘will unquestionably assure a continua- tion of her efforts against her Teu- tonic adversaries. ‘Whether Great Britain will consent to the complete possession of Constantinople by Rus- sia cannot be even prophesied now, since it depends almost entirely upon events to come. Still one more great benefit will accrue from the capture of the strait. With that passageway opened the entrance of war munitions and supplies from Great Britain and Frace to Russia will be as easy a mat- ter as will be the egress of Russia's great supplies of grain from, the Black Sea territories to France and Great Britain.
