Other Christmas pians relative to baskets for shut-ins were discussed. In spite of the inclement weather last cvening, a good sized audience filled the Norwich clubhouse when St. Agnes' guild of Christ church pre- sented John Louw XNelson in a sung recital. Mr. Nelson possesses a very sympathetic and_rich jbaritone voice, very well suited to the songs he sang. He gave a short talk on German music, the great number of beautiful songs it abounds in, and spoke of th ebeauty and simpiicity of the songs in partic- ular of Robert Franz. It is a pity that they are not more generally known, for they are singulariy melodious and and quite varied im their scope. part of the pro- grom was devoted to his songs, which Wera thoroushiy_enjoved by the audi- ence.

WILL SPEAK ON RAILROAD BRIDGE AT NEW LONDON State Highway Commissioner to Ad- dress Eastern Conn. Chamber of Commerce Meet The president ot thé Eastern Con- necticut Chamber of Commerce, Jo- seph F.

Attorneys Roderick M, Dou; lass and Joseph T. Fanning, of this city, who defended Kennedy at_ his trial in the superior court at New London, appeared for him Monday. Mr. Fanning addressed tho board and after describing the offense for which the accused party was punished, spoke in_part as follows: This men has been in prison for more than thirty-one and one-half years. He was found guilty and sen- tenced for life; and we can think that the jury was able to see clearly somie- thing about the killltg—some circum- stance, which saved the prisoners from the death penalty. A feeling of mer- cy at that time may have been an in- fluence helping to bend the scale in his favor. A confinement for thirty- one years may certainly, be considered # grievous punishment. The one who thus is made to pay a penaity to the state can perhaps gain somc special consideration if he bears the burden in patience and with obedience to the rules which he 1s ordered to observe.

AT THE DAVIS THEATRE Vaudeville and Moving Pictures The rain in no way marred the at- tendance at the Davis theatre Monday night when the first half of the ban- ner bil! of the season was well receiv- ed by big audiences. The attractive vaudeville bill is topped ofi with Mar- ton Littlefield’s Florentino Singers, who with their superb offerings made & tremendous hit not only in their operatic and old time songs but with popular offerings. There are eight people in the act and they have their own scenery, their own musical direc- tor and stage manager. Included in the song list which won much ap- plause were Come Back to Frin and When ¥ou and I Were Young, Mag- gle. Albert Donnelly, shadowgraph artist, who was with Harry Lauder, with his novel pictures added much to the pro- gram.

Civil Service Tests. The state civil service commission will hold tests at the state capitol Friday, Dec. 22,.to establish eligible lists for foreman of repairs for the state highway commissioner's depart- ment, at a salary of $3 or $4 a day. Tests to establish eligible lists for actuarial clerks for state service will is made under an enforced perform- ance of duty, but nevertheless it in- vites attention. It seems to be so that he can get employment if he should be released. The chances for work are in these .times abundant, and I think that he is disposed to commit himself to a life of industry if he should be given his pardon. I appear at this time because I as- sisted in defending him at his trial in 1885 and because I feel after the pris- oner's many yeors of punishment for the deed which he committed, th: should appear and respectfull honorable board in the _exercise mercy to grant him a pardon. The crime was committed on June 16, 1884, in New London, with an axs. An unubual application for pardon was made by George S. Gardner of Hartford county who is serving a term of from ten to twenty years for crim- inal abuse of a child. He set forth that as the child had since died, he wished to be pardoned in order that he might stand trial for first degree murder and be hanged. His applica- tion was denied. Gardner was sen- tenced on December 8, 1914, The board heard 47 applications. No one appeared for twelve of the appl cagnts and their petitions were with- drawn. 19,316 LIVING HOLDERS OF YALE DEGREES Directory Issued Shows a Gain of More Than 500 Per Cent. Over List In 1914, of The directory of living graguates of Yale university, issued this week, lists 'a total of 19,316 lving holders of Yale degrees. This is a gain at the rate of somewhat more than 500 per year over the total of 18287 living graduates in 1914, that of 17,251 in 1912, that of 15,958 in 1910, and that of 12,665 in 1904. This rapid in- crease in the number of living grad- uates is due to the large recent grad- uating classes, which overbalance the number of deaths in the older classes. [The total number of graduates to whom Yale has awarded degrees, ac- fording to the figures in the Quin- quennial _ catalogue of last year, 80,164. Thus it appears that prac- tically two-thirds of those who have graduated from Yale during the 215 years of its history are now living. The directory, issued by the uni- versity secretary’s office, is _edited under the direction of Edwin R. Em- bree, alumni registrar. It is interesting to mote that, al- though the number of living gradu- ates has increased by well over 6,000 sinée 1904, the university’s records of its graduates and its constant contact with them has been so maintained that there is actually a smaller number of graduates whose addresses or occupations are unknown now than was the case 12 years ago. The ad. dresses of but 292 and the occupa- tions of but 420 are not reported in the 1916 directory. The geographical distribution of graduates _compared with similar fig- ures for 12 years ago, when detailed statistics were first compiled s given in the following table. North Atlantic States ... 12,431 8510 South Atlantic States 870 2,544 North Central States ... 3,369 2,251 South Central States ... 543 315 ‘Western States . 1,310 650 Alaska, Hawaii, etc. ... 112 62 Foreign countries . 534 381 The most rapid increase has been in the western division. The 10 cities with largest Yale population are New York . New Haven Chicago Hartford Boston . Bridgeport . Pittsburgh Washington, D. C. .
