An uncle of hers lived there until his death within the past year. Brockton was her next place of residence after removinb from here and it was after her residence in Brockton that she met Dr. Mohr whose tragic death by shoot- ing was-the cause of Mrs. Mohr and the two negroes, Cecil Victor Brown and Henry H.

Wheeler, Who Cut 71. The court of common pleas came in at New London Monday morning to try the case of Anna Shroers against Ar- thur J. Wheeler of Stonington, a con- test over the cufting of timber. The suit is for $125. Mrs. Shroers alleges that she sold the defendant 23 chestnut trees on property owned by her for $35, but that Wheeler cut down 71, but only paid $35. Wheeler claims that he bought “all the rest of the trees on the property,” regardless of number. Mrs. Shroers was the first witness and told of selling Wheeler four or five trees on her lot last October. A day or two afterwards she sold him two more. At that time the defendant in- quired if she wanted to sell him the remainder of the tree on the lot, and she replied that she did not, because she did not know how many there were or what price to charge, as she was not familiar with such matters. That same day James Main was asked to look at the trees to give her his judgment, and he told her that there were 23 trees on the lot. She immediately called up Wheeler and told him that Mr. Main had told her there were 23 trees there. and that he could have the Trest of them for $35. Wheeler agreed to purchase them. % ‘When she went to the lot after the timber had been cut, she counted 71 stumps. She demanded pay for the trees cut over 23 and Wheeler inform- ed her that he had contracted to pur- chase all the rest of the trees on the lot for $35. PARK CHURCH VESPERS.

In his sermon Sunday at St. Paul's church, Wallingford, Rt. Rev. Chaun- cey Bunce Brewster, D. D., bishop of Gonnecticut, said in part: The Episcopal church has determined to undertake the largest single. auter- prise in its history, namely, to tute a system of pensions for'its rouna clergy. Before entering upon this policy the church did two things: (1) Made a careful census of the salaries now pald to clergymen, and (2) had calculations made by expert actuaries of the cost of maintaining a system the permenent success of which there could be no doubt. The census of salaries, now complet- ed, shows the following principal facts: There are 4,420 men in the active service of the Episce church in the United States. Their average salary is $1,200 a year. This is not all cash, but includes the value of a house, when provided. More than 2,500 of these ministers, over one-half the to- tal number, receive less than $1,500 a year. Only 237, including the 125 bish- ops, receive $4,000 or over. More than 700 men are paid less than $1.000, and many of these 700 are the older clergy, with very hard tasks. The church now is virtually carrying out a scheme of retirement at the ex- pense of its older men. These meagre salaries are pald to clergymen serving what is often as- serted to be the richest church mem- { bership in America. Those men are expected to have a good education, to dress well, to live and move among people where rents are high, keep open house, always appear cheerful, and preserve their physical vigor. They are men of devotion, who often exercise leadership in their communities, and who must support themselves, their wives and their children on the sal- arles pald them, with little or no thought of outside interests. The ministers do not complain. But the church itself must be efficient. Ef- ficiency consists partly in being equip- ped to fight at the top notch of en- thusiasm and vigor. The minister can- not do this if, with all his sacrifices, cheerfully made, while he is active, he has no assurance of a competence in his old age. Railroad companies seek efficiency and enthusiasm from their men through promises of a pension. It is in the broadest interest of society that every church should do the same. The Episcopal church has passed the exact vital statistics of the whole. body of her clergy through the, laboratory of the best actuaries and has adopted a pension system which is modern and sound. Support Commissioners (Continued from Page Five) At this hear- Ing the mayor was reported as saying Now, said Mr. McWilliams, the whole (Applause.) I couldn’t stay on that commission with my name besmirched, but_ now You've (Laughter and ap- The mayor is doing the right thing the city at"heart. ‘The men who got up this bill to McWilllams said he had never Quoted Other Prices. W. W. Beckwith sald that in call- 1909 with the Willimantic and Rock- It was a defunct organization, he sald, and he would leave it with the Improved City Plant. Mr. Boardman discussed the subject for personalities, yet these honorable gentlemen who con- sult the attorney of the corporation had little to make a claim of honesty and integrity on. If he had done such hang his head in shame. Mr. Boardman brought out points about the failure of power from the Uncas Power company and the neces- times to furnish the city power. Tife city don’t need the Uncas Power com- pany. They can’t furnish enough today and why sign up th them when our need for electricity is likely to be constantly increasing. The thing to do is to put in more boilers and run our own turbines and supply our own power. upon the payment by the parish each year of an additional 7 per cent., speaking roughly, of the minister’s sal- ary, he will receive on retiring at 68 a pension equal to one-half his average salary during his active service. At death, his widow and minor children wiil receive annual penmsions; if. dis- abled in active service, a pension fol- lows. Thus in the full tide of active ser- vice he can throw himself into his work with.the complete abandonment of an officer who knows that whatever hap- pens to him, his dear ones will be cared for, and he, if living to old age, will. go to his grave with dignity and self-respect. In order to take care of those who should be pensioned immediately, and to give the contributory plan time to move permanently on its own wheels, an initial sum of $5,000,000 is to be raised. ‘To direct the task of ob'h-hunl reserve fund, Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts will, during 1916, sus- pend actiye work in his own diocese and devote himself wholly to thi- great onte: co-operation M lmg life in- ofln en has Made Some Corrections. Z. R. Robbins said he could not sit still and hear misstatements made which he thought were through ignor- ance. He said the Uncas Power com- pany never offered firm power for lc, 3-4c or 1-2c to anyone. This was to be only surplus power to the Willi- mantic and Rockvyille company. He also said it was part of the con- tract with the city and the Uncas Power company that the city should run its own plant. when the Uncas was short of water, so that there had been no misrepresentation of ability of the company. Attorney J. J. Desmond remarked that this all reminded him of the ap- peal “to_ the people” advocated by & certain T. R., but when all was said and done we would have to commit this to-the small body of men whose experience and intelligence uipped them for dealing with the question. - By this time it was 9.50, and the vote on the question was called for. efore ing the vote, Clerk James read again the resolution at the re- quent of !‘n.nk H.
