The injuries 1 not prove serious, it is believed. _ = Both men live in the Otrobando road section &nd_the shooting happened during a fight on Otrobando road be- tween 10.30 11 o'clock, in which the man whHo used the pistol claims that he was made the victim of an attack by Gitschier and Edward Las- kowski, who, he says, came to his house to give him a beating. That he received a beating at somebody's hands is plain enough, for both eyes are black and his face is bruised and battered.

The constable learned that Edwarfl Snow and Charles Keeler, two Nor- wich Town youths; had brought wounded man to the Stott home, Fi took Logis into the house, where Git- schisr identified him as the man who had fired the pistol. Gitschier was taken 'in the ambu- lancé o' the hospital after he had siven temporary attention by Dr. Cas- sidy, while Logls was®brought to po- lice headquarters here and locked up for the night.

Y., last week, Rev. Rich- ard H: Keep pieaded guilty to annoy- ing a young girl on a trolley car last month. Decision was reserved by the Judges until Nov. 24, so that an in- Vestigation as to Rev. Mr. Keep's men- tal condition may be made. Since this offense with which he was charged, a detective has had the minis- ter under surveillance, and he told the court that he belleved that the man ‘was not mentally responsible and that his_condition of mind of the minister had more to do with the offense that had been committed than any malicious intentions on the part of the accused. The accused was released on bail. Saturday in St. Patrick’s church an anniversary requiem mass for Mrs. Elizabeth McNamara was sung by Rev. John H. Broderick. Heals & Soothes Skin of Children | ‘and Sick People employed at the Glen woolen miils. His account of it that the fact that he is Polish and ‘Gitschier is a German had something to do with it, for he told Chief Linton that the Germans and the Poles fight and shoot like the devil. He claims that the two men who attacked him were giving him a bad beating and that his foot went into a hole 5o that he fell and they pounced on him and had him by the- throat choking when he pulled the revol~ ver from“his pocket and fired. The two bullets that Logis fired into Git- schier stopped the fight. The first word that the authorities heard of it was when Constable Tim- othy Fields of Norwich Town received a telephone message from the home of William R. Stott on Otrobando road that there - was a wounded man there and they wanted a doctor. The con- stable summoned Dr. Louis T. Cassidy and then started for the Stott home. YANTIC MAN'S WILL PRESENTED FOR PROBATE. Left Bulk of Estate to Sacred Heart Church at Norwich Town. The will of the late Martin Burns of Yantic was before the probate court here on Saturday afternoon upon the question of its admittance to probate by Judge Nelson J. Ayling, but there was no one present to represent the will. It was written by thé late Charles F. Thayer and was dated Nov. 11, 1914 The estate, it is_understood, consists of $1,500 in the bank and a farm at Yantic said to be worth about $3,000. By the will, Mr. Burns left $10 to each of his three sons, Peter B. John F. and" William, and a’ simifar-amount each 1o his godchild, Peter Burns, and his granddaughter, Eleanor Burns. The Sacreq Heart church at Norwich Town is made the residuary legatee. Attorney John H. Barnes appeared at the hearing in the interest of some of the heirs. Dr. Herbert H. Howe of Yantic and Dr. W. K. Tingley gave testimony as.to the poor mental con- dition of Mr.#Burns when the will was made, and M. V. Murphy gave corrob- orative testimony on this line. Other witnegses included Thomas Browning and several women. Thurston B. Lil- libridge is named in the will as execu- tor. Judge Ayling put the matter over to another date. He telephoned to Rev. Charles Brennan, pastor of the church at Norwich Town which is named as residuary legatee, and Rev. Mr. Bren- nan said He did not know anything about the matter, but would consult Bishop Nilan for instruction. Later in the day Attorney J. J. Desmond was engaged to appear in the interests of the will. MILL OFFICE WINDOWS WERE FOUND BROKEN. Several Panes of Glass at the F. Mill Saturday Night.

Fields found a .38 calibre ‘Hopkins & “Allen revolver in Logis’ room at his -home on ‘the ‘Otrobando road.: It had two empty shells in if, one loadéd shell and the’other cham- ber emspty. G The constable learned that Logis and & man named Fyed Dowdall had been around together in the evening, and that Logls had come from the city on one of the late trolley trips. The youths named Keeler and Snow had been following along with them on the o]r.mha.ndn road when the fight took place. 1 Gitsehier, who is a mill employe, has a bullet in the upper part of the chest, having entered the collar bone, but it misdsed hitting the lung. The other bullet passed through the upper part of his left arm, entering at the front and passing out behind, leaving two holes in the shirtsleeve to indicate its course. . R SINORE ST WILLIMANTIC PASTOR GAVE STIRRING ADDRESS At State C. E. Convention Held Satur- day at New Londen. Rev. W. F. Rowley of the Baptist church of Wiilimantic, speaking at the state Christian Endeavor convention at New London on Saturday, saw in the terrible European conflict one bright side in the fact that it has heightened the spiritual life of the peoples who are at war. Mr. Rowley delivered the key: note address of: the convention and had as his topic The ew Emphasis of Spiritual Values. : His address was full of keen thought and originality and was listened to With great: interest. He sald that a direct result of the war has been the spiritual _stimulus among the nations at war. People of those nations, shock.. ed at the frightful condition, have'come to a prayerful attitude tht means a great _rellgious strengthening. Mr. Rowley also saw in this country a re- ligious quickening as a by-product of the great strugsle. He deviated to refer to the open door in china. He said Christian En- deavorers and other Christlan work- ers find the door now open and the opportunity for great work rich. The convention was scheduled to open in the First Congregational church auditorium at 10 o'clock, but delegates from the west were late in arriviag, the trains being off schedule, and it was 10:30 when President Frank Nicholas of New Haven called the con- vention to order. The' devotional service was led By Rev. E. P. Aer, pastor of the Congre- gational church at Mansfleld Center. After the devotional service, greet- ings were extended to the convention by Rev. P. F. Wolfenden, pastor of the Waterford Baptist church, who spoke for the New London Christian Endeav- or union, of which he is president; Rev. J. Romeyn Danforth, pastor of the First Congregationai church, repre- senting the churches of New London, and President Nicholas responded for the union, commenting on the remarks of the preceding speakers. Then came the address of Mr. Row- found as to the identity of the guilty person. The broken windows were discovered Sunday morning. Agent A. Chester Brown eays he thinks the windows were smashed by someone as he passed along the side- walk. It was thought that rocks had been thrown through the windows, but as no rocks were found inside the of- fice this theory is unfounded. MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON To Be Held by Union Lyceum—Vote At its meeting on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at Grace Memorial Bap: tist church, the Union Lyceum unani- mously decided to hold a memorial service on the second Sunday in De- cember in the McKinley avenue A.

Dr. Slocum’s address on the American Baptist Publication society, brief but highly interesting, was as follaws: The home of The American Baptist society is in Philadelphia. The build- ing is seven stories high and is thor- oughly modern. On the first floor is one of the finest bookstores in the country. On_the second floor are the offices, the editorial rooms, and a hall where pastors may meet and other meetings may be held. The other five stories are rented and the money thus obtained is used for the cost of run- ning the building and paving the in- terest on the money invested in it. In the basement are the shipping de- partment. the heating and the light- ing plants. The society has another building in Philadelphia which is its printing house. The building is six storles high and is fitted with every convenience. - There is no better equip- ped printing establishment in the world. It is estimated that during the 89 vears of its history, the society has issyad . considérably more than seve huy fred million periodicals. The .i: 4 for a single year of one of these fodicals, if stacked in a single col- yAn, would reach thrce times higher aan the Washington monument, which is 555 feet high. Another of the peri- odicals, similarly stacked, would reach nearly ' three times higher. than the Eiffel tower, which is 1,000 feet high. | Just the copies for one vear. Then they say that to get the paper from the paper mills to the printing house for the production of our periodicals for a single year would require four hundred. two-horse wagons, and make a line three miles long. Two million pounds of paper a year. Eight thou- sand pounds of printers’ ink for that much paper. -Seven hundred tons, of coal to make the wheels go round long enough to print a year’s supply. They have, there, a fine rotary press, with a capacity of 75,000 impressions a day, turning out the paper colled “Young Peopld” from a continuous roll of white paper printed on both_sides, folded and ready for mailing. If that roll for one year alone were extended in a continuous line, it would reach from Philadelphia to London, a dis- tance of more than 3,000 miles. The item of postage for mailing these pe- riodicals (all that the society issues) for one year alone, requires $25,000. There are a good many days when the Philadelphia postoffice handles from seven to ten tons of mail going out from this society to the ends of the earth. Besides the Philadelphia headquar- ters, there are fthree branch houses, one in Boston, one in Chicago and one in St. Louis. There is no society in the country that conducts a larger trade in Bibles than our Publication society. The quantity of _literature that has gone forth from the presses of the society since its organization can be measured by imagining a book of three hundred pages in: the hands of every one of the more than eighty million inhabitants of the United States. The society is constantly pro- ducing new : books, pamphlets, _and tracts which contai the best thought of our thinking men. The field of the society is - the United States, but as a matter of fact, it goes into insular possessions and foreign lands. The life of the society is bound up with theswork of our other great denominational agencies. = It works with them and through them. There is.no state or territory that it does not reach. It operates in the south as well as in the north. The society has never recognized any boundary lines or race distinctions. Its service has been of great value to the coldred people from the dawn of thelr freedom till now. The society is fn close touch with the various state conventions both north and south. The Swedish Mission, which has been so successful, was organized by this so= eclety, and is now doing a large work among. the Swedes. Danes and Nor- wegians fn this country. : As to the administration. The so- clety has-a general secretary, an as- sistant secretary; a Missionary and Zunier and E.

The fleld forces of the society are divided into three classes: Colportage, Sunday School and Chapel Car. Each of these departments is interesting, but the work of the chapel-cars has been particularly gratifying. Six or seven of these cars are maintained and more than 18,000 souls have been con- verted through them and 175 meetinz houses have been built and paid for. Besides the chapel-cars there are three autos and three colportage cruisers in ‘alifornia and Oregon. ASKS $2,000 DAMAGES FOR CHARACTER DEFAMATION.

Reports from inspectors to Dairy and Food Commissioner Frank H. Stadt- mueller indicate that many dairies of the state are in an unsanitary -condi tion. The commissioner said that. jm-~ mediate steps to correct the bad con- ditions will be taken. The first notice is to be an order which must be obeyed without delay to avoid prosecution. Much of the trouble, he said, is caused by a conflict between the state and local authorities, and in some towns of the te farms are examined by six authorities having as many differ- ent standards.
