PRIORITY OF CLAIMS IN FENTON BUILDING CO. Were Argued Before Judge Shumway in Superior Court. Attorneys representing a number of firms having claims against the Fen- ton Building company, which went into the hands of a receiver on Aug. 21, 1914, were in_ the superior court here on Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, where arguments were made before Judge M. A. Shumway regard- g priority of claims. Attorney C. V. ames represented Recei¥er John A. Moran ang he argued that all claims Stood on a common level. As the construction work to which these claims refer is on public prop- the claimants cannot secure any liens and they are desirous of secur- ing a court order to have the receiver pay the claims in full, and to use such assets as were available when the Fenton company went into the hands of a receiver. After hearing the arguments of a number of the attorneys Judge Shum- way took the papers and reserved de- cision. Atforneys who represented claims were: Arthur Shipman of Hartford, Judge Calkins of New London, George 5. Hinman of Hartford, Willlam A. King and Samuel B. Harvey of Wil- limantic and Attcrneys A, L.

Burns, book- keeper for the company, Mr. Bafley and Receiver Moran. The receiver sald that the convent has been com- | pleted, but he cannot collect $5,680 { which _is due because of the Bailey lien.

Maynard of West Thames Street Goes as an As- sistant Topographer — Explorations in the Andean Mountains to Discover the Secrets of the Inca Civiliza- tion—Under Auspices of National ‘Geographic Society and Yale University. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C., March 3.—Under the leadership of Dr. Hiram Bingham, the National Geographic Society-Yale University Peruvian Expedition sailed from New York yesterday to continue its worlk in the Andean Mountains, in the hope of finding the key to the mysteries of the New World's past. The Inca and Atzec civilizations which flourished in this hemisphere Dbefore the arrival of those gold- hungry adventurers and destroyers Wwho followed in the wake of Colum- bus have an inexpressibly melancholy interest for us in that our traditions of them indicate how complete sys- tems of culture may be swept away and_hardly leave a trace. Work al- ready accomplished in the Peruvian Andes by Dr. Bingham under the auspices of the National Geographic Society and Yale University suggests that the clue has been found to the history of the Incas, ar2 that we will be able to clear up much of the mystery concerning that _ecivilization which the conquistadores ruthlessly lald waste. i In a concealed valley in the hish Andes of Peru, the “American Tibet”, Dr. Bingham has discovered one of the lost Inca cities, which he now be- lieves to be the famous Machu Picchu of Indian and Spanish legend, birth- place and last hidden abode of Inca power, faith, and culture. The Inca Empire endured between 1100 A. D. and 1572 A. D. Here in this wild, in- accessible mountain region the Peru- vian Expedition of 1914-15 will con- tinue its painstaking efforts to lift the veil from the pre-Columbian_secrets of the Western Hemisphere, aiid there is promise that these secrets will prove as wonderful and as fascinating as those which the scientists have forced the depd civilization of the Nile and of the Mesopotamian val- leys to surrender. The highlands of Peru contain ves- tiges of the most ancient and ad- vanced culture in South America. They hold preserved within their val- leys the remains of long-forgotten Indlan towns and cities, ruins_ of roads and aqueducts, of walls, fort- resses and terraces, and in these ruins is written the story of the first Amer- ican engineers and architects, of Amerfca’s earliest metallurgists and artificers in metals, clays and fibres. These remains, together with the specimens of bronze and silver orna- ments, tools, and utensils, form a commentary upon the ancient Inca life out of which the explorers hope to be able to reconstruct a connected picture of the storied Inca Empire. There was formerly considerable gold to be found in this region, and for many vears it was the dream of every_adventuresome spirit in the New World and the goal of many for- tune hunters. However, four _cen- turies of treasure-seeking _probably has left little in the way of precious metals to the modern explorer. Old legends of inexhaustible stores of Inca-gold, nevertheless, detract noth- ing from the enticing interest of these lit{le-traveled mountains. The theatre of the National Geo- sraphic Society-Yale University ex- pedition 1s a wonderful countr: whose magnificent scenery and part revealed past give it as_ powerful an appeal as that possessed by any other of the world’s areas. It is fillled with deep-rent canyons, majestic un- climbed mountain peaks, wide ranges of vivid-colored, tropical jungles; and it is crossed by the splendid roaring rapids of the Apurimac and the Uru- bamba, whose waters go to feed the Amazon. It has its disagreeable features, on the other hand, such as insect pests which swarm 'the low- lands in _innumerable millions, the vampire bats of the middle valleys, and the bitter cold of the nights in the uplands. The work of the expedition has been planned under a number of scientific divisions. _ Topographical maps will be prepared, a detailed geclogical reconnaissance will be undertaken, the plant and animal life of the region will be studied, and the weather conditions will be thoroughly investizated There will also be carried on an’ anthropological, arch- acological and _historico-geographical reseayches, looking toward the un- raveling of the mystery of the ancient inhabitants of the Andes and to the determination of just what was ac- complished in the Western World for progress and civilization before our European ancestors called themselves in to take up the task Mebres who left New York on this expedition _are: Director, _Hiram Bingham; Geologist, Herbert E. Gre- gory, Ph. D, Silliman Professor of Geology in Yale University, Geologist of the 1912 Expedition; Naturalist, Edmund Heller, Naturalist of the Smithsonian’s 'African Expedition, under the leadership of Col. Roose- velt; Botanist, O. F. Cook, Ph. D., of the United States Department of Asriculture; Chief Engineer. Eliwood C. Erdis, of the 1912 Expedition; To- pographer, Edwin L. Anderson; Chief Assistant = and _ interpreter, Osgood Hardy, M. A, of the 1912 Expedition; Assistant_Topographer, C. F. Wester- berg, B. S., and several assistants. Particular local interest will attach to the expedition, as Clarence F. May- nard, son of Mr. and Mrs. William W. Maynard, of No. 211 West Thames street, is going with it as an assistant topographer. 7 Mr. Maynard, who has been at Yale, was at his home here on Sunday for a farewell visit before he sailed with the expedition on Tuesday. It is not ex- pected that he will be back in the Unlted States before Christmas. The opportunity to be included in such an expedition is a rare one and is a tes- timonial in itself of the estimation of those selected for it are held by the leaders of the undertaking. MADE REPORT OF VERY PROSPEROUS ¥EAR. At Annual Meeting of Woman's Con- gregational Home Mission Union.

FUNERAL. Mrs. Roswell H. Lamb, The body of Mrs, Sarah Latham Lamb, wife of Roswell H. Lamb, of Meriden, was brought to Gales Ferry Monday on the noon train for inter- ment in the Gales Ferry cemetery, the funeral having been held at her late home, 565 North Colony street, Meri- den, on Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Lamb was a daughter of the late Capt. and Mrs. Thomas Latham of Ledyard and was born in that town in 1852, being a half sister of the late Thomas Latham of Gales Ferry.

Mr. Lambiwas for- merly a resident of Gales Ferry, where burial will be. Mr. Lamb had been an invalid for about six years. Dr. Biach Probably Not/ Drafted. Later advices than thosé which re- ported that Dr. Ludvig Blach, form- erly of-this city, had been drafted into the Austrian army, make it appear| probabie that this is not so. Dr. Biach became a citizen of the United States on October 16, 1908, and he is now 49 which is beyond the Aus- trlan age limit for Services. These two facts are taken. to indicate that he has not been drafted, but is probably still at work in the industry to which he went after resigning his position as chemist in the United Stetes Finish- ing Company’s plant. Money Missing From Till. The sum of $35 was missing from the till of the fish market of Theodore Schultz on Wednesday night about 7 o'clock after Edward C, Roath, the clerk, returned from a brief absence from the store.

Joseph Zimmerman Was Nearly As- phyxiated at His Home on Cliff Street. Joseph Zimmermann, a cigarmalker, who lives in an upper tenement at No. 30 Clff street, was found unconscious from gas. asphyxiation in a bedroom at his dwelling about 10 o'clock Wed- nesday morning and was restored to consciousness and - his life saved by prompt_attention from a doctor, sup- plemented by the use of the pulmotor from the city gas department. The gas that had overcome him came from a long tube that led from a burner. Mr. Zimmermann's condition was discovered by his wife, who was in an adjoining room, the door between the two rooms having been shut when Mr. Zimmermann went into the bedroom shertly before he was found. Dr. J. W, Callahan was summoned a8 soon as Mr. Zimmermann had been found, and when the doctor arrived the man was unconscious. The doctor succeeded in partially restoring him and then sent for the pulmotor, which ‘was brought from the gas office in an automobile by Cashier F. S. Maples and an employe. Mr. Zimmermann is employed as a cigarmaker by George P. Madden., His family consists of his wife and a son about a year old. Suggested for Bank Commissioner. The name of H.

Washington, March 3—The house Judiciary committee voted today, 11 to 4, to drop the impeachment pro- ceedings against Federal Judge Day- ton of West Virginia. although the ajority report held that the judge’s onduct in_some instances had been reprehensible” A minority report drawn by Chairman McGillicuddy of the sub-committee which investigated the judge, recommending impeachment, was rejected. The majority report, drawn by Representatives Gard and Dznforth, concludes: “This évidence shows many matters of individual bad taste on the part of Judge Dayton, some not of that high standard of Jjudicial ethics which should crown the federal judiclary, but a careful consideration of all the evi- dence and attendant circumstances convinces us that there is little possi- bility of maintaining to a conclusion of guilty the charges made, and impels us thereforc to recommend that therg will be no further proceedings.” The report found that while Judge Dayton had not “conspired with cer- tdin corporations and individuals to bring about the removal from office” of his predecessor, he “was fully in- formed of the investigation of the offi- cial and private life of Judge Jackson and gave aid and advice to those in charge of the investigation.” It declared that the evidence did not support charges that Judge Dayton had-shown marked favoritism to “cer- tain corporations having extensive business in his court” or had “abused his power and influence as a judge to further the interests of his son, Arthur S. Dayton.” As to charges of prejudice against lahor organizations, the report said that in cases involving these organiza- tions “Judge Dayton’s manner was heated and impassioned, he was labor- ing under much emotional excitement, and his conduct general was that of one who had prejudged the cases be- fore him.” WATERED STOCKS IN RAILROAD COMPANIES. W. J. Lauck Declares That $11,276,495 in Dividends Was Paid by Ten Roads. Chicago, March 3.—Alleged watered stocks in railroad companies occupied the attention of the board of arbitra- tion in the western railroad wage 5 . J. Lauck, a statistician, stated that $14,276,495 in dividends on water- ed stocks were paid by ten representa- tive western railroad systeme in 1913, or about two millions more than encugh to nave advanced the pay of the engineers and firemen who ear seeking higher wages by 25 per cent. James M. Sheean, attorney for the 98 western railroads involved in the ar- bitraion, took exception to the meth- ods by which Mr, Lauck calculated the amount of so-called overcapitalization. He asked questions to bring out that Lauck had taken no account of early investments on which no returns were received for many vears. More than 200,000 of Atchison, Santa Fe and To- peka Mr. Lauck characterized as ficti- tious, but in replying to Mr. Sheean he said that he did not mean that the property might not now be worth every cent of its capitalization. He consid- ered that the six millions’ profit said to have been made by the Morgan te in the reorganization of the Western road in 1909 was ex- ive. He considered that more than half of the securities of thos road were “water.” Mr. Lauck said that the purpose of his festimony was to show that the practice of railroads of capitalizing the debts, their actual value and their fu- ture hopes formed a lien on the reve- nues which would compel labor to wait forcver for wage advances If these were to come only when dividends be- came too large.

Extensive Country of Limitless Re- Sources—Wonderful Line of Rail- road. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C., March 3—Siberia, the Silver East which lies behind Western Russla and from which the Tsar can draw men and resources without measure for the prosecution of his wars, bears to Russia, though on a much more magnificent scale, the same relation as that borne to the thirteen original states by our our Golden West. Russia’s future lies over the plains to the agricultural, forest and mineral wealth of Siberia; the strength which Russia has before all other nations she will be come con- sclous of through the development of her wonderful East; and, so, in a study made for the National Geo- graphic Soclety, Major General A. V CGreely, U. S. designates the Mus- covite’s East as “The Land of Prom- ise” General Greely speaks of Russia’s first great step toward making the re- sources of Siberla accessible, that of bullding a railway without parallel east to west for a distance of more than 6,400 miles, or nearly one-third of the way around the world. This worderful rail constructed, he tells, at a cost of $409,000,000, wlich makes it the most expensive public utility ever attempted with the exception of the Panama Interoceanic Canal. Nor are size and cost the only unique elements of this remark- alle wrailway, according to the writer, for it was bullded with record-setting rapidity. The strictly Siberian sec- tions of 3,300 miles were built in seven years, 18§91-1898, the rate of con- struction approaching two miles for each working day. “It is the recognition of conditions” the writer continues, ‘to say that the construction of this great transcon- tinental railway is one of the most Lne was Therefore, we appeal to you, not only to pray for us, but also to demand the abolishment of legal murder.” Mr, Osborne read a letter which he had written to Governor Whitman, just before the triple execution, asking that it be stayed until the legislature had had an opportunity to pass upon bills to do away with the dgfih penalty. Another letter of somewhat similar import, which was given to Miss Made- /line Doty, a member of the prison re- form commission, by “Happy Jack” Muivaney, a few hours before his exe- cution, also was read into the record. No one appeared in opposition to the measure. ENGLAND WILL ACCEPT GOODS FROM GERMANY. If Articles Wanted Are Obtainable They Will Be Admitted. London, March 3, 3.58 p. m.—Espor- tation from Germany of such goods as Great Britain desires and is able to obtain from that country will be per- mitted by the British government, not- withstanding the declaration of Pre- mier Asquith that Great Britaln and her allies would prevent commoditiés of any kind from reaching or leaving Germany. This point was made clear in a statement respecting the blockade policy which was delivered in the house of commons today by Walter Runci- man, president of the board of trade. Admiral Lord Charles Beresord ask- ed whether aniline dyes from Germany would be admitted to Pngland. Mr. Runciman replied that persons licensed by \the government to import aniline’ dyes would be permitted to continue to bring them, since these dyes were necessary for the purposes of the war office, the admiralty and civil indus- try. o & It was suggested that if German goods continued to be brought in it would be impossible for Great Britain to prevent Germany from exporting 8o0ds _to America. Mr. Runciman declined to Giscuss this point. He added: “If it is necessary that we should get and we can get some goods from membership gain that is gratifying to its officers.

The time consumed in the journey between Viadivostok and Moscow, 5426 miles, is § days and 21 hours. According to Statistios given by General Greely, the road has already begun to do & great business, having carried, in 1910, 1,869,183 isengers an average jour- ney of 975 miles, besides handling some 7,508,675 tons of freight. Limitless forests, great waterways, and rich plains lie along the line of rail. -The great Siberfan piains or steppes, the writer finds, sreatly re- semble the prairies of lllinois, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, and they ex- tend 1,000 miles from north to gouth, and as far from east to west. “Their ®oll is fertile”, he says, “stock of all Kinds thrives, transpontation facilf ties are good, coal is abundant, mod- ern agricultural methods largely ob- tain, markets are accessible, and the population is rapidly increasing.” e Databa region, a quiet, wxuri- ant country extending westward from the Ural Mountains, is according to General Greely, a stock-raising and dairy-farming country unusually fav- ——— No Use to Try and Wear Out Your Cald—It Will Wear You Out Instead Thousands keep on suffering Coughs and Colds through neglect and delay. ‘Why make yourself an easy prey to serious ailments and epidemics as the result of a neglected Cold?
