According to the evidence, passen- gers aboard the car were furnished With considerable ‘excitement during the early part of the journey to Nor- wich. As far as was brought out trouble was precipitated when Brown, who was standing in the rear vestibule referred the conductor, to two men in the forward part of the car for his fare. When Conductor. Barber reached the two men in question they refused to pay Brown'’s fare and thelr own also. They were warned thet it was a case of pay or get off the car. Repeated refusals caused Barber to ‘summon Harold Shaw, motorman of the car, and the two men were ejected through the front vestibule with more or less dificulty. In the mixup Shaw Was struck a blow between the eves but recovered and started to continue the trip when he received ome bell, and stopping the car learned that the con- ductor_had been struck and kn from the rear vestibule. Barber clared that he saw Brown strike him once with an umbrella. " John Enos and Ralph McCracken, who were passengers on the eventful trip, were also called as_witnesses. NEW LONDON BUILDING CODE WELL CONSIDERED Committee Anticipates Comparatively Little Discu: n or Oppesition. The committee appointed By Mayor Rogers to prepare a new code of build- ing laws for the city of New London anticipates comparatively little dis- cussion of or opposition to the > lations when they are presented at the special session of the court of com- mon council Thursday evening. The matter is sot one that has been treated lightly in any way. The mem- bers of the committee have devoted much time for several months past to consideration of the buil lem with which the city ia co: ted and theyjbelieve they have arrived at the best solution possible. % In the course of ihefr im they have utilized the codes of 13 or more leading municipalities and from these the ve selected the salient features which were most adaptable to conditions-that exist in New Lon- don. They have had the assistance of o consulting ensgineer of the Na- lonal Board of Fire Underwriters, of Corporation Counsel Hapkey and of erchitects and plumbers of the ©ity. Intoresting Annual Event. Opce a year the governors of the lous giates of the United States meet to_take themselves seriously. Toledo Blade. DEEDS FOR SHIPYARD PLACED ON RECORD Rowe Property at Eastern Point Are Transferred to Henry H. Bartels. The deeds transferring the Henry C. Rowe property at Eastern Point to Henry H. Bartels of the borough of Manhattan have been recorded in the office of Town Clerk Henry L. Balley at_Poquonoc. The transaction changes the owner- ship of about 29 acres of land. The north end, including about 6ight or nine acres, was purchased from Fred- erick Bill some time ago with the re- striction that it should not be ued for any but residential purposes. ‘Whether this will make a_difference in the proposed shipyard is not yet certain. It might be arranged to have the buildings of the concern in_the north end but for the desire to have them in another part of the property. The change in ownership involves about $75,000. It is said that $5,000 was paid at the time the option was secured; $25000 when the deed was recorded and the rest will remain on mortgazge. Tt is expected that work will be rushed as fast as possible and_that the change in the lower part of the borough of Groton will result in mak- ing it one of the busiest parts of the town and a rapidly built up residen- tial section Is prophesied as well.

Immediately Following the Reading of His Message to the g General Assembly, Governor Holcomb Sent to the Sen- ate the Name of Judge Milton A. Shumway to Succeed Justice John M. Thayer, Who Retires on Age Limit— Everything in Both Houses Went Through as Fixed in Republican Caucuses Held Tuesday Evening. Hartford, Conn,, Jan. 3.—Governor Marcus H. H. Holcomb took up the duties of chief executive of Connec- ticut fof o second time, today. It was remarked by veterans at the itol that while governors change and leg- islators come and go, the weather on Inauguration dey remains about the same and that usually of the turbu- lent variety. . It Snowed and Rained. It snowed and rained on the Foot Guards, the troepers and the New Haven Grays as they marched through the slush in the city streets and then up Capitol Hill. These veterans of other inangural parades did not mind the conditions as they had faced simi- lar ones before. Oath of Office. With Governor Holcomb, the oath of office was given to State Treasurer F. S. Chamberfain and Comptroller Morris C. Webster, who entered upon their second terms and to Frederick L. Perry, as secretary of state in suc- cession to Charles D. Burnes. Women Enjoyed the Scene. The inaugural ceremonies were not unlike those of other years. They were speeded up considerably under the guide of experienced leaders in both branches. The inaugural mes- sage (printed on page 8) was shorter than usual and was quickly read by Governor Holcomb to the joint con- vention which was in waiting before 3 o'clock. Many women had seats of members_in the house chamber and they enjoyed the occasion and the novel and impressive scene. Judge Shumway to Succeed Justice Thaye: The joint eonvention over, the gov- ernor lost no time in sending in busi- ness. To the senate went his ap- pointments of Judge Milton H. Shum- way of the superior court to be an as- sociate justice of the supreme court in succession to Justice John M. Thayer who will retire March 15 by reason of age lmitation, of Judge Charles B. Waller of the court of common pleas of New London county for another term of four years from February 2, next, and of Justice George W.

The appointments will go to the judiclary committec lams for State Referee A resolution offered by _Senator Klett and adopted by both branches makes Judge Willlam T. Williams a state referee from March 24 next. In supporting the resolution Senator O'- Sullivan, ~democrat, spoke of Judge Willlams® services on the bench prior to his suffering a stroke of apoplexy end said that the appointment was a fitting one. Transportation for Members. The first bill for a public act was one to provide transportation for the members to and from their homes un- der the constitutional amendment re- cently approved by the people. The bill provides that the comptroller shall furnish each member transportation and in_order that no member shall use a freé pass the bill says that no railroad or transportation company shall issue & ticket or other means of £ive to the state the best there is in them, no matter what honors come to him, said the speaker, he would rather have his name in connection with the workingmen’s eomgfn-uon act then any other in the state. Will Make No Gag Law. For the first time in ten years, sald Mr. Healey, the state has more income than outgo, due to the work of the fi- nance gommittee of 1917, and no com- mittee ever did such effective work. Now the opposing interests wants this corporation law changed. It is the duty of the house to leave the cor- poration tax alone. ‘The committees will be made up Of the best men that are obtainable. He could not fill the speakership with the grace of a Waller and dignity of a Holcomb. Every member will get a square deal and there will be no gag law, and this applies to democrats as well as publicans. Clerk Kenealy Elected. The speaker declared the election of a clerk in order, and Representative Back nominated Edward J. Kenealy, of Stargfosd, and Representative Caine nominated Henry J.

In spite of the inclemency of the weather, the union meeting of the Congregational women of the city was well attended at the Park church parish house Wednesday afternoon. In the absence of Mrs, Henry T. Arnold, president of the Foreign Missionary society of Park church, the meeting was presided over by Mrs. George De Long, vice president. Mrs, Herbert J. Wyckoff led in prayer and Mrs. De Long read passages from the scrip- tures. Following the singing of the missionary hymn, Dr. Edward L. Smith of Ing Hok, China, offered rrayer. Notice was given that an- cther union meeting would be held in the Second Congregational church on Friday, Jan. 26, at 3 oclock. This meeting will be addressed by Miss Mary W. Riggs of Horpoot, Turkey who is one of the branch missionaries and who recently spoke so acceptably at_Jewett City. Mrs. De Long then introduced Mrs. William L. Adam of Pittsfield, Mass., the originator of the golden Jjubilee, who spoke on that subject. Mrs. Adam explained the object of the golden jubilee to be the acquire- ment of land and putting up of build- ings in various missionary flelds. We all realize in a general way the need for buildings in any undertaking or work. We may agree that personali- ty is a strong factor in the success of a school or church, but after all we must have the building in which to carry on our work. And without the proper buildings we continually sacri- fice the best work done by our mis- sionaries. The money pald into the treasury 0 the American and Women’s Board of Missions is used for the general work—the _support of _missionaries, Bible teachers, hospitals, etc, but there has never been a fund on which to draw for building; it has been felt that as little as possible must be spent for that purpose, and so individuals have contributed to the cause and oc- casional drafts have been made on the treasury when there was urgent need. Now, however, that the needs have become absolutely imperative, it has been decided that it would be well to try raising the funds by a _special method; $250,000 is needed by next ovember to carry out this work- Up 0 last Saturday there had been raised $176,824.46. The regular gifts kept up until last year, and even increased. Because of Europe's great need and the urgent demands on all sides, the treasury was $35,000 behind last vear. This has now been made up. Has Contributed $6,883. During the last four years the East- ern Connecticut branch has sent $6,883 tcward this fund, leaving $102.28 still to be raised. It is believed that the branch is going to do more than this, however. In_ addition to the amount raised by each branch, $35,000 more is planned to be found by thosg Who may feel the call to subscribe. “The sum of $50,000 is wanted for a new hospital at Madura, India. Madura is a big city, with narrow streets gay with color and swarming withpeople, rot many of whom can lay any claims to cleaniiness. It has been said that there isn’'t a pocket handkerchief in India. It should be remembered that nine-tenths of the women and children of India. are beyond the reach of medi- cal aid. There are no known laws of bealth in the country. The women of 30 and 35 often seem in appearance to be 80. And these conditions have al- ways been and will continue to be for @ long time. These women flock to the hospitals ard_dispensaries. They are devoted mothers, but ignorant in the extreme, alfhough hardly more so than the na- tive doctors. Hospital a Wooden Structure. The present hospital in Madura is a wooden structure, at the mercy of the destructive white ants, and almost impossible to keep clean. There is no water supply and no drainage. All water has to be heated over charcoal braziers and operations conducted by light of a lantern.

We can- not meet every demand made upon us, but often we made that an excuse to give less than we might. There are two fundamental ways of spending n'oney—one by regarding our money as entirely our own and giving some t> the Lord, or another by considering our money as belonging to the Lord and using only some of it for our- seives. Every Christian should give something to foreign missions. We who live in a Christian land can hard- ly conceive of the utter hopelessness of the life lived in a land removed from all such influences. These poor Leople need our spiritual assistance. Are we going to give it to them? At the close of Mrs. Adam's address the meetine was dismissed with bene- diction pronounced by Dr. Smith.

There was a good attendance on Wednesday at the annual meeting of the Church Aid society of the First Baptist church, which was held at the church, preceding the regular church supper. Mrs. Minnie Amburn, the president, called the meeting to order at four o'clock. The regular reports were read and approved, followed by the reading of the annual reports. Mrs. John B.
