Twomey sent Officers P. Murphy and John Donovan in the auto patrol wagon to Spring Garden avenue, ‘while he called for Dr. Cassidy to come to police headquarters to give attention to the man when he was brought there. The doctor was waiting when the offic- ers came back with Mr. Copp, but the stricken man dled as the officers were carrying him to a bed in the woman's room. Capt. Twomey notified Coromer J. J. Desmond, who gave permission for Un- dertaker Hourigan to take charge of the body. Mr. Copp was born in Putnam, April 3, 1860, the son of William H. and Persis H (Cook) Copp, and lived the larger part of his life in Preston, where he was a farmer. For several years past he had lived in this city. He was employ- ed at the Glen Woolen mlill, Norwich Town, and well thought of by his em- ployers as a falthful and conscientious workman, while he had many friends who will feel his loss.

A baptismal service at which ene per- son was baptised was held Sunday af | olclack at the Central portion of Jews In is having the effect of increasing the feeling of .racial animosity In universi- ties, and that, therefore, to abate racial feeling the number of Jewish students is to be restricted. “Within the walls of a unlversity ‘which of all places should be the abode of tolerance and broad-mindedness, would it not seem rather the duty of the authorities to check the persscutor and ot the persecuted? If there must be exclusion, perhaps it would mot be amis to exclude, not the victim, but the culprit—to exclude the bigot, the anti- Semite, to exclude those who would sub- vert and dsstroy America’s noblest tradi- tlon—to worship God—as they see fit— religious liberty. il et T S A # RepOrted Automeobile Stolen.
