Episcopalians will know, but mem- bers of other communions may not, that the sulfragan: bishop, unlike the bishop coadjutor, is not elected with the right to succeed the bishop when he withdraws. A suffragan, although he is inducted into office with all_the impressive ceremony that is used at the ccnsecration of the bishop, or-the coadjutor, has not the -right of suc- cession. . He is merely _one who'is elected to help the bishop, although he can edminister all .the rites of the church that devolve upon the bishop, and is invested with the regalia of the bishor, and is listed in the order of succession. It is lkely, of course, that a sul bishop will succeed by election to the high dutles of the office when the bishop withdraws. The of- fice is so recent a_creation, however, dating only from 1911, that no such contingency has No one, ans themselves, know what will happen when a vacan- oy doet occur.

Deputy Skerifft Brown accompanied Kinney and later went to the jail to interview Curtis. Curtis was given 60 days for carrying concealed weapons. He will be taken back to Mystic after his jall sentence expires, From the confessions of the boys Mr. Kinney and James E. Brown found that two suit cases ot plunder that had been checked and left in New London. This they recov- ered on their return trip from New Haven and after checking up it was found that ouly a gold bracelet and a watch fob chair were still unaccount- ed for. These, it is believed, the youths disposed of in New London. Higgins formely lived fn West Mystic and was familiar with the the Mystic firm. The con- two store of cern, since the Gflbert block fire has been located in the Buckley block and it was supposed entrance of rob- bers thrdugh rear windows had been prevented by placing of iron bars there. Curtis ,one of the lads, is about 17 years old and very slim and he managed with the aid of Higgins to wiggle through between the bare. Once inside he packed two suitcases full of plunder while Higgins kept watch outside. The entrance was effected at about midnight on Sat- urday night. The boys didn't have much suc- cess disposing of their loot in New London and the suit cases containing six boxes of silverware and some of the stolen jewelry were left thare while the boys went on to New Ha- ven with the rest. There they got in wrong with the police and disclosures resulted. Each was armed with a 38-calibre revolver and on charge of carrving these weapons and that of vagrancy Higgins was sent up for 60 days and Curtis sent to the state re- formatory at Cheshire, where he must remain a year or more.

Petrograd, Nov. 4.—The first public meeting of the new society for pro- moting mutual friendly’ relations be- tween Russia and America, was in every way a success. TZe large hall in which the meeting was held was crowded, even the standing room be- ing occupied. The remarks of Baron Rosen, Professor Paul N. Milyukoff, Professor Maxim Kovalevsky, F. L. Roditcheff, Nicholas Tougan-Baran- ovsky and others were we€rmly ap- plauded. The general trend of the address was to the effect that Amer- ica was able to exest great influence upon the war because of her economic power and that Russia could profit from a study of American ideas and policies. A notable feature of the meeting was the declaration by M. Roditcheff that he was firmly con- vinced that the war would be won by the side that deserves to win be. cause of the moral principles for ‘which it stood.
