1t is probable that the annual session
of the County Sunday School Conven-
ton will be held in Garden Grove dur
ing the fore part Of June. We have not
seen the program but understand that
it includes addresses by two of the most
noted Sunday School workers in the
state. The convention is entirely non.
sectarian and is held, we believe, under
the auspices of the State Sunday School
Association. Everyone in this part of
the county who is interested in Sunday
School work should make it point to
be present at one or all of the sessions.

The company made application to the
Washington Board of Fire Underwriters
some time ago for admission TO member
SNIP but the application was denied. En-
qulry at the office of the board yesterday
elected no further information regarding
the concern.
When the Messrs. Sheldon left this city
they continued to do business as a Wash
lngt0n concern. They were residents Of
Utica, n. Y, and took their company
there The policies issued by them in
New York read: Washington Fire In
Incorporated A. d, 1898. Paid up capital,
100000 These policies. or some of them
at least, were signed by Frederick NJ.
Sheldon, Secretary. The name of AnSon
>. Taylor, agent, was also printed on
the policies. Some of the letterheads of
the firm contained the name of Anson S.
Iaylor, President. and of Arthur J. Shaw,
Secretary. In Utica the Offices of the COM
pany were described as executive Office
of the Washington Insurance Company
The SheldonS were advised by the In
Surance Department of New York that
they must close their office in Utica. Ac-
cOrding to a letter recently received here
from Francis Hendricks, New York Su-
perintendent of Insurance. they promised
to give up their business in New York
Immediately, but instead continued their
operations Mr.. Hendricks secured evil
dence of policies issued by the Sheldons
in the name of the company on property
in New York and called the attention of
the District Attorney of Oneida County
to the case. Morris W. Sheldon was then
indicted. His case has not come up for
trial as yet and evidence regarding his
operations in this city is being secured
for it's possible value in the case there.
