An effort is being made by the Providence clergymen to get Sun- day to come to that city, the Union Ministers’ association having instruct- ed its executive committee to appoint a delegation of ministers and prom- inent business men to extend an invi- tation_to the evangelist. Sunday is booked up to 1917, so that it will not be._possible for Providence to get him before that time and the Westerly ministers hope to get him to visit Westerly and conduct meets after fin- ishing in Providence.

It is manifest that her work in this position is appre- clated by the society. Mr. Amsden, president of the soclety, says in his report: “My statement | would be incomplete without a word of appreciation of the labors of our general secretary. Whatever success we may have rained has been due more to her efforts than to any one factor.” ' Miss Woodworth, recording secre- tary, says: “If everybody could know Miss Foster in her work they would realize how fortunate we are in our general secretary. She is sympathetic, but uses rare good judgment in the variely of cases she is called on to meet.” The secretary for Friendly Visitors says: “Miss Foster has been present at our meetings. listening to our re- ports and solving our problems.’ The chairman of the clothing room committee says: “Doubtful cases are being investigated by the general sec- retary, who is in personal touch with So many of the needy; and it is only just to say that under Miss Foster's guldance the work has gome on in a most ~ulet and systematic way.” Local Laconics.

It became known also that Jesse C. Adkins, former assistant attorney general, who took a part in negotiations which preceded the dis- solution suit under the anti-trust act arainst the New Haven railroad, also had been retained in this case. Mr. Brandels and Mr. Adkins were in conference early today with Mr. Willlame and later with the attorney general. Later the attorney general had another talk with Mr. Brandeis and with United States District Attor- ney Laskey. Officials declined to say whether the government at this time contemplates any affirmative proceedings in addi- tion to the defense of Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Willlams in the injunction case. It was denled, however, that the bu- Teau of investization of the depart- ment of justice had undertaken any investigation of affairs of the Riges bank. /The services of this bureau are frequently called upon when the treas- ury department feels that it has ground for other than civil proceed- ings. TEUTONIC ALLIES CHECK RUSSIANS IN CARPATHIANS. German Reinforcements Come to the Aid of Austrians, London, April 13, 10.12 p. m—Two gateways into Hungary still remain barred despite the tremendous ham- mering by the Russian forces, and as the Beskid pass is the less important of the two strategically, a further ad- vance into Hungary hangs upon the possession of Uzsok pass, where the invaders are meeting with the most stubborn opposition. Several days ago the Russfan cap- tured a position which gave them com- mand of a road leading to the rear of Uzsok pass, but since then the Teu- tonic allies have checked the move- ment in this direction. The importance of the Carpathian operations is indi- cated by the half-hearted actions re- ported from the other sectors on the long eastern front, where even the counter-offensive in east Galicia, which evidently was planned to divert the Russian efforts from the passes, seems to have been prosecuted with little energy. The people of the dual monarchy are said to be greatly cheered by the num- Just put a few drops of Sloan’s on the painful spot and the pain stops. It is really wonderful how quickly Sloan’s agts.

The letters were forwarded to the secretary of the treasury and their contents not di- vulged. While it is understood the German cmmander asked for three weeks as a maximum, he stated he would make every effort complete temporary re- pairs d leave port before that time. His request related only to temporary as a thorough overhauling of helm would require months. Captain Thierfelder did not regquest coal or provisions, explaining he would do this when the Washington gov- ernment has notified him how long he may remain in neutral waters. It is understood his request included a petition for permission to go into drydock immediately. Until this is granted, the merchant raider must re- main at anchor in the James river. Unofficially the capta® of the Kron- prinz Wilhelm urged that action re- garding his ship be expedited and in this connection asked the state de- partment through the German embassy to have th§ naval board make an ex- amination dt once. ‘While opinion prevails here that the ‘Wilhelm will intern, Captain Thier- felder insists he must return to the high seas. “We must get ou he said again today. “We got in and we can get out. The fact that warships of the enemy are waiting for us must not deter us. They might sink us, but that has no fears for me.” Dr. Joseph Goldberger, of the pub- lic health service, today examined the beri-berl patients aboard ship. Few opportunities have been afforded the United States health _authorities to study this disease. Dr. Goldberger found 85 cases, several have improved considerably since Sunday. He re- turned to Washington tonight with his observations. One French warship and one British cruiser were sighted today off the Vir- ginia capes by pilots who bSdught ships into port. The pilots brought a report they received from merchant- men that the British knew the Kron- prinz Wilhelm had steamed north sev- eral weeks ago and that she was be- lieved to be in American waters.

New York, April 13.—The board of directors of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad company, at a meeting here today, approved of negotiations that have been completed for taking care of $80,000,000 of notes of the New Haven company and the Harlem River and Portchester Rail- road company, which fall due on ist, it was announced tonight in a statement by Chalrmen Howard mi- o The negotiations were made with J.

The company has sold to the group of bankers above named $27,000,000 notes of the New Haven company running .one year at § per cent. for 99 1-4. Mr. ElHott further asserts that the New Haven has succeeded in obtain- ing necessary legislation in Connecti- cut, “permitting it to put back of these notes a very strong list of collateral, some of which a year ago could not be used under the then existing laws.” Signs of improvement in its business are seen by Chairman Eiliott. In this connection he declares: “The volume of business now being done by the company is not quite as large as it was in 1913 and 1914 and fluctuates somewhat, but there are in- dications of an improvement, o much =a that the company on April 12 out r and freight carshops on and its lo e shops working four days a week instead of three, as has been the practice for some months past. ays: “The company favorable legislation ssachusetts and Connecticut. so the present issue of $27,- 000 of notes falls due, some compre- hensive plan for permanent financier- ing can be adopted to take care, not notes, but o of the of the New England Navigation dompany, which fall due OMay 1st, 1917.” Test of Darien Station.
