Jr., millionaire and manufacturer of cectton and silk thread, died on Saturday after a long illness at his home at South Willing- ton. Mr. Hall was widely known in the ehread trade. He was born in Newpart, R, I, on July 14, 1837, and GARDNER HALL, JR. 3 came with his parents to the village of South Willington in 1848. Until his eighteenth year he spent the win- ter months at school and the rest of the year in the mill of which his father was one of the owners. Mr. Hall grew up in the thread business and the plant has been in continuous operation except for a short time in 1861 when the firm had to cease bus- iness owing to derangement of affairs due to the outbreak of the Civil war. In 1860 the firm was that of Hall & Manning and while at different times others were associated with Mr. Hall in the business, it has been exclusive- ly in the Hall family since 1896. Of late years the deceased had relin- quished most of the cares of the bus- iness which had passed to his son, Col, William Henry Hall, a member of the present and meny legislatures. The career of Gardiner Hall pre- sents many interesting incidents. After the firm of Hall & Manning suspended business in Februarv. 1861, Mr. Hall went to work for the Willimantic Linen Co., in its bleaching department at 87 a week. In 1862 he started the thread business again and from that time there has been no break or in- terruption in the operation of the plant. It is said that throughout his business life Mr, Hall never gave or endorsed a noté and always bought his supplies for cash. Mr. Hall was a man of considerable inventive genius and he made many improvements in thread making me- chinery, one of these being a thread dressing or finishing machjne. In 1870 he obtained a patent on an automatic spool printing press and another in- Vvention was a tension regulator for thread as it is being wound on spools. Mr. Hall was active in town affairs, and 'in 1896 he was a presidential elector on the republican ticket. He accumulated wealth and used it lfb- erally to assist the town, bullding or caring for many miles of road each year. His tax to the town on his Tealty was for many years one-fourth of the entire tax. He was an orig- inal incorporator of the Stafford Sav- ings bank and 40 years ago exerted his influence in behalf of a law un- der which savings banks may pay in- terest on deposits beginning with the first day of the month a plan adopted by many institutions. He was a di- rector in the Barkshire Cotton Man- ufacturing_Co. of Adams, Mass, the Greylock Shirt Co. and the Greylock Natlonal bank of the same place. Mr. Hall has been a well known fig- ure in this city, to which in his active business life of over 45 years he came every week to do his banking business at the Thames Nationel bank. At one time he was the nest to the largest stockholder in the Davenport Firearms company and he was also formerly a large stockholders in the Hopkins & Allen Arms company. For over 25 Years he has been a stockholder in the Ponemah mills.

DAY, APRIL 19, 1915 BIC DAMAGE BY FOREST FIRES $20,000 is Estimated Damage in Flanders District—Norwich Firemen Called Twice to Mohegan Park—Several Miles of Woods Covered by Fire in Neighborhood of Navy Yard and Breakwater Co. Quarry. Sunday was a day of forest fires for New London county and automo- billsts who returned from trips out of thig city brought back news of ex- tensive fires in several sections, the most serious in the Flanders district where ithe damage done wa sestimated by the fire warden at $20,000. In this city the fire department was twice called to fight a fire in and adjoining Mohegan park, which Chiet Stanton said he thought was the hard- est one to handle which they have had at the park. The work of the firemen kept it from spreading out of bounds but the prospects are that it will keep on smouldering and blazing up among the tree stumps and logs until the first good rain comes to put it out. About 30 acres in all were covered by the fire, according to Park Super- intendent John Duff's estimate, but the largest part of this was outside of the park, end on land along its west- ern boundary belonging to Dr. John A. Rockwell and Dr, Frank C, Atchison. At one time the blaze was in danger- ous proximity to the old Bacon home- stead now occupied by Dr. Atchison, but it was turned back from there by the hard work of the firemen, The part of the park land burned over was the tract presented by the late General Edward Harland. The autochemical from the Central station and the Chemical compeany from the Falls station responded to both calls, the first time at 6.12 in the evenin; and again at 8.45 when John Looby telephoned that their help was needed to hold down the flames* which were blasing up actively again. Bacx-firlng and brooms were the. methods used when they made their first response which kept them busy about two hours. The second time they had a fight of an hour before they left the fire for the night. $20,000 Damage in Flanders. In the Flanders district 2 forest fire started from an unknown cause Sun- day morning about 9.30 o'clock near the Gardner Sharpe place between Flanders Four Corners and the Gold- en Spur. Fire Warden W. R. Foster of Niantic mustered a force of men to fight it and was at work all day. They were succeasful in keeping the fire away from houses and barns that were threatened, but the flames swept over about 8,000 acres and did damage| which he estimated at §20,000. At one| point on the farm of Irving L. Gabbois the flames jumped Great brook and| sPread over into the town of Water- ord, Atto parties from New London and parts of the town of Niantic carried Volunteer fire fighters out to the help of the fire warden. Near the Navy Yard. About 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, fire started in the woods back of the Navy Yard and the quarry of the Breakwater company, It spread over the farms of Miss Mary _Sullivan, Courtland Colver and part of the gov- ernment reservation at the Navy Yard and from there onto the John Morris place, also threatening the Shay fer- tilizer works in the town of Groton. The fire marshals of both the towns | of Ledyard and Groton directed the fight against the flames, having as! helpers tho farmers of the neighbor- hood, Italians from the Breakwater, company force of employes, and men| from the Navy Yard station with the| the government's fire apparatus. Men from the borough of Groton al- so went to the scene, one party being taken out in the autotruck of Roger Spicer of Groton. By 9 o'clock the fire was confined to the "John Morris place and was be- lieved to be under control. It was ex-| pected that it would be limited to & very small area by the efforts of the| fire fighters through the night, Fire in the Pines. There was a brush fire Sunday aft- ernoon about 2 o'clock among “the pines” just below the Norwich state hospital. A force of men from the atate hospital went out with brooms and brush and beat it out before it hud spread very far. WORCESTER PASTON PREACHED AT SECOND CHURCH. F. A. Poole Heard in and Evening Sermons. Rev. Morning At both the morning and evening services at the Second Congregational | <church the preacher was Rev. Francis A. Poole Ph. D. of Union church, of Worcester. At the evening _service Rev. Mr. Poole spcke on The Mystery, Majesty nd Morality of God, taking a his text, Psalm 92-7: “Slouds and righteousness ang justice are _ the daricness are around about Him; foundation of His throne.” | God- we say, is the infinite spirit, | said Rev. Mr. Poole, and we believe irit. ' The backbone of ion is the fact of its are mysteries| 1d_prevalent mystery. to ourselves and in a W with mystery we live our mysterious| lives. The vastness of His sphere overwhelmes us. We fear Him, it may | be, with a nobie fear. There is nothing that stirs the in- tellect like a challenge and God is a| continual challenge to the human thought. We have only to consider| ho wlittle we do think and consider, to be impressed profoundly with the| eternal power of God. Deepest of all in God is His_honor, His Goodness and | His truth. Even the darkness of| human igiorance can't quite obscure the equity of His throne. With right- cousness and justice dominating the lives of men civilization jtsel? wil be clean and pure. _Then indeed we shall clasp hands with the Psalmist across the centuries and say, “Clouds and darkness are round about Him but| righteousness and justice are the foundations of Hi sthrone.” At the morning service the children’s sermon was on the Early Dawn, with the text Luke, 24-1: “But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.” The church of the living God, which the subject of the regular morning suffers now because of its success, was sermon and the text was John 18:22- 23: And when He had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with bis hand. saying, “Answerest thou the high priest s0?" Jesus an- swered him, “If 1 have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well why smitest thou Me? RECOVERING FROM INJURIES Rev. Dr. E. W, Bishop Writes From Grand Rapids, Mich. Norwich relatives have just received a letter from Rev. Dr. Edwin W. Bishop of Grand Rajids, Mich, in which he sends the encouraging word that he is back at his work as pastor of the Park Congregational church in that city with only a fe wcuts and bruises to show for the automobile ac- cident of Tuesday, April 6th when the car he was driving was struck by a freight train, His wife he says, is still in the hos- pital with a dislocated hip and right shoulder blade, but there is every rea- son to hope for her ultimate recovery. The spot where the accident hap- pened is a dangeroua one where view of the tracks is hidden fro mthe turn- pike and it is unanimous testimony that the train give no warning of its coming, Dr. Biship mentions in the letter some indication of the big work which his church s doing when he saya tat 79 new members wera taien in on Eastern Sunday, of whom 62 were on confession o faith., The church now has 1,037 members and the Easter col- lection was $2,500. It is planning to build a parish house seen. Dr, Bishop writes that the trip east this sum- mer which Le had contemplated making will now have to be given up.

Everett Hall came to- gether at Thames square Sunday aft- ernoon about § o'clock in such a way that the Bergstresser car was shoved up against the telegraph pole at the corner and bedly damaged, while the Hall car was only slightly damaged, Both cars were at slow speed and none of the ococupants were hurt, After the accident the Berastresser car was pushed into the Thames Sauare ger- age while the other was able to pro- ceed on its way, The accident happened as Mr,“Berg- stresser was about to turn from Thames street to go up the West Side hill and the Hall car was coming down the hill on the left hand side of the street into which the Berg- stresser car was about to turn.

Union—Reach- ing Out Was Conference Topic. The Spring Conference of the Nor-| wich Christian Endeavor union was held on Saturday with the society of the Jewett City Baptist church. The opening session was at half past three in the afternoon. The devotional ser- vice was led by Rev. Allan Spidell, S. T. D, pastor of the Jewett City church. He read from, Phillipians third chapter. The theme of the co; ference was Reaching Out. Mr. Spi- dell said we must first reach up, and the goal is service for Christ—a. rea- sonable willing—separate and associa- tion service. Charles I Babcock, pres ident of the entertaining society gave a _most cordial welcome- to which Wiiliam G. Park, president of union responded. A beautifully ered solo, Gently, Lord, Hear Us, was sung by Mrs. George H, Prior, with a violin oblizato plaved by Miss Ida Brown. Mr. Park conducted the ex- ercises, the first paper being by Miss Helen Eadie of Haniver on Reaching| Out for Beginners. superintendent of the Junior Work of the union. She says the work for the children is of chief importance for four reasous—We owe it to Christian Endeavor, for its future lies in the children of today. It is our duty to train the children. We are living in the age of the child, and to Christ we have consecrated our lives, To real- ize our highest ideals in C. E. work Wwe must train the _children. How hay we reach out? It s a matter of prayer for each society and individual. ‘Bvery society should have & Junlor committee to aselst the Junior su- perintendent. The leaders can get every possible help from magazines and helps published for that purpose, and especially from the summer con- Through Committee Work, Reaching out through committee worl was the topic assigned Rev. Geo. H. Ewing of Norwich Town. Jelly Fish and Honey Bees was the novel title he gave his talk. The former has no organism and when out of water simply melts away. Is nothing but a helpléss mass. The latter is _very much alive, always busy, accomplish- es much, is fully organized. The true C. E. society is a bee hive. If there are drones among the woriers, sting them alive, Committees are essential for the heip of the soclety. He gave seven points indicating what commit- tee_work does for the members, First- C. E. work trains all members to reg- ular activities. Second, it develops specialized abilities. Third, it discov- crs leaders, Fourth, it secures widen- ed abilitles. Fifth it develops the sense nd power of team work. Sixth, the competition that enters into the work. Seventh, it gives a mighty, fine suggestion to our churches. Reaching Qut for Recruits, Miss Alice Bishop of Bozrah spoke on Reaching Out for Recruits. She told where Christian Endeavor socle- tles are found in the homeland and then in foreign lands, as among state risons, the life savers, the bluejackets, eaf mutes, societies for the old as well as the young. She gave telling {llustrations of the work and closed by saying that Christian Endeavor was not & gpent force and the work Il be carried on. A discussion of the various subjects followed, led by Presi- dent Park. Growth. Rev, J. W. Wright of Dayville de- livered an address on Growth by Reaching Out. He said the principles underlying growth in any form are the same. ~ One is stated in the topic—of reaching out. Thers can be no effect- ive growth without reaching out. Look at it from the individual viewpoint. Perfect growth is not simply growing larger, increasing in size, but its ef- fectiveness and ability to perform. There are a great many ple who have never realized their ambitions because they never have developed. Many of us ar overgrown children— our spiritual minds have never devel- oped. We can grow by perfect, heal- TR%: Vigoroun organiem. Where are wa to reach out to? Down and up. Reach down into the deep spiritual experi- ences of men who have lived in the past, Get back to the Bible and learn of the lives there of spiritual strength and the character and teachings of Christ, There is a double purpose in rowth, That wo may attain the very t for ourselves in and that we may reach out that we may give for the sake of weak and suffering human- ity. Supper Served. At the close of the service a sup- per was served in the vestry of the church under the direction of the C. E. social committee. the | rend- | Miss Eadie is the| MADE CLEVER CAPTURE OF SNEAK THIEF Police Land John Shaughneesey, Who Took Pocketbook at Millinery Par- lors, On a complaint from Miss M. Buckley of No. 308 Main that a pocketbook containing $35 bills and something over a dollar in change was missing from her mil- lnery parlors Saturday afternoon after John H. Shaughnessey, 28, of Boston, had been there trying to interest her in a photograph plan, the man was arrested at the bar of a Norwich hotel Saturday afternoon by Policeman Charles Smith, who had been looking for him from the description Miss Buckley had given of the man she sus- pected. The money in the denomination of bills that Miss Buckley described was found on Shaughnessey, who at first denied teking it, but later confessed to_Chief Linton. Shaughnessey got his chance to take the pocketbook when Miss Buckley left him in the outer room and went into a rear room to get rid of his omportunities about the photographs. When she discovered her loss about an hour after he had left, she was able to give a description of him to the police and on this Policeman Smith cleverly landed the man about two hours later.

We can learn to love it by becoming acquainted with its author. Another thing in equip- ment is prayer. We say our prayers, but do we feel and mean them? We CHILD GETS SICK CROSS, FEVERISH IFCONSTIPATED CAN'T HARM TENDER STOM- ACH OR BOWELS. A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with | waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour. Look at the tongue, mother! Ifi coated, or your child is listless, cross feverish, breath bad, restle: doesn'l; eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children’s ail- poonful of “California Syrup of Fig: then don't worry, be- cause it is perfectly harmless, and in a few hours all this constipation poi- son, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thorough “inside cleansing” is oftimes all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,” whichj has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefully and see that it is made by the “Cali- Syrup Company.” YOUNG WOMAN THOUGHT MURDER VICTIM ALIVE April 18—Their theories ns completely upset by | the discovery that Claudia Elizabeth Hansbury, the supposed victim of a murder, i still alive, the police were baffled in this mysterious case.
