EXPLAINS ENGLISH
SCHOOL SYSTEM
Archbishop of Canterbury
Answers Critics of Law.
"A PLEA IN AVOIDANCE"
Religious Liberty, Says Prelate, Is
Protected in all Sorts of
Institutions.

BOSTON, Feb. 4-Dr. P. S. Henson,
pastor of fremont Temple. has made
public a letter from the Archbishop of
Canterbury explaining and defending
the English educational act of 1902.
Last faIl, while the archbishop was
visiting the United States, representa-
tives of several religious denominations
wrote TO him protesting against tire
taxing Of non-conform:sts for fh, sup
port of schools in England without al
lowing them voice in the scnool man
agement.
Much Misunderstanding.
In his letter 10 DR.. Henson Tire arch
bishop says: There has been consid-
cradle misunderstanding in America of
the educational controversy in England.
At the time the act was passed IL 1902
20 per cent Of existing elementary
schools in Englan.: had been erected and
We're still the property OF members of
some particular religious denomine ton
Church of England, Roman Catholic,
Wesleyan, Congregational, or any other.
In view of the fact that these build
1ngs are freely given over and main
tanned for public use by the owners and
not by the public, it has been provided
that the system shall be continued
which allows to those owners a pFedGm-
inant, though not an exclusive voice in
teachers accredited by the State, those
whom they think best to carry on such
teaching.
System Unaffected
In what are called provided schools
schools belonging to the public and
not private owners-the system of re-
ngious education is unaffected by re-
cent legislation and remains exactly as
before. In schools of both types every
parent has. of course. the absolute right
to withdraw his child from religious
teaching of which he disapproves, and
the right is now, BIZ common consent,
being safeguarded and simplified in
several different ways.
No impartial observer can. I think,
maintain that there is in those provi-
sions the smallest interference with
religious liberty
In commenting on the archbishop
letter DR.. Henson says that the arch
bishop has made what the lawyers call
"a plea in avoidance

WOMAN
 WAS DEAD
The Man'sL Life Was
 Saved.
Couple Were Driven to Pc. lice Station by Cab Dri. yer, Excited When Told Companion Was Dead.

New York, March 15.-The body of a woman who had been dead several hours and a man unconscious and ap- parently dying, were found in a cab which was driven up to Brooklyn police station on a gallop early to-day. The man, who was suffering from al- cohOlism and possibly from the ef fleets of drug, may recover. Both he and the driver of the cab have been detained by the police pending an in- vestigation of the affair. Although the condition of the man was so seri- ous that he could give the police little Information which would aid them in their investigation, he said that his name was Thomas Deegan and that he lived in Monroe street, one of the better class residential sections of Brooklyn. The dead woman. he said, was Miss Mary Savage. 30 years old. Both Deegan and Miss Savage were well dressed.
 The cab, driven by man who said his name was David Good, dashed up to the police station early to-day and when the policemen came out they found the man and woman lying back in the coach. It was seen at glance that the woman was dead. but the man was still alive and physicians were hurriedly summoned. By admin isterng antidotes and using a stomach pump the mans life was saved and he finally was restored to conscious ness. He became greatly excited when told that his companion was dead

WITHHELD DECISION.
On Petition for Conservator Over
 Jeremiah Fitzpatrick

Judge Etheridge has withheld his decision on the petition of Veronica, Margaret, Mary and John Fitzpatrick for the. removal of their father, Jere- miah, as administrator upon their mothers estate. and for the appoint ment of conservatOr over him.
 The petitioners claim that their father abandoned their mother some years before her death, which occurred in 1902; that even at her death he did not think it worth while to visit her, but finding that she was dying, he said "Let her die"
 Some years ago Mir Fitzpatrick went to California. Before going he deeded his interests in their mutual property to his wife. Upon his return he did not go to his home. but to a boarding house. He neglected the property after his wife's death, collecting the rents and using them for his own benefit. The petitioners claimed that the prop erty has greatly deteriorated under his management. All this, of course, was denied by the defense.

KEYNOTE OF PEACE MAY
 BE SOUNDED BY FRANCE
French Loan of Twenty Millions Stopped When News
 of hanchurian Disaster Came-Russians Say the
 Matter is Only Postponed-French Financiers Be- lieve Time is Now Ripe for Peace Overtures

Paris, Mar 15-The pOstpOnement Of the Russian loan is definitely con tirmed. This is likely to exert power full influences towards peace as it is the first time the French hnanciers have shown an indisposition to ad- vance funds while the uncertainties of war continue. The following details of the postponement are from an au- thoritative source:
 A committee representing the syn dicate of French underwriters went to St Petersburg to arrange the condi- tions with the minister of finance and contract was drawn up for $12O,- 0O0,00O loan taking the form of treas ury bonds running seven years at five per centum. The contract was then brought back to Paris for the approval of all the underwriters. In the mean- time the disastrous events ill Man. churia naturally aroused doubts on the part of the financiers as to wheth- CT Russia should make peace or pursue the war. The influence of the financial clements was almost unanimous for peace but Russia's disinclinatiOn to consider peace appears to have in-
 
 the contract and accordingly the sign ing of which was expected yesterday has been postponed and all the pend ing negotiations are also postponed. According to the Russian view this does not mean that the negotiations have been broken off but merely that they are adjourned as the Russian au- tlf0rities say the syndicate holds itself bound towards Russia now as before. However the circumstances of the ad- journment tend to show that the syn dicate inclines to wait for some definite development of peace before proceed ing any further.
 It is authoritatively denied in the highest Russian quarters that the French government exercised any pressure towards preventing the in- crease of French holdings of Russian securities. Nevertheless it is probable that some members of the government acting individually voiced the prevail ing view that caution was desirable. Since NJ. Rouvier has combined in himself the presidency of the council of ministers and the ministry of finance the government has indirectly exercised strong influence on private financial affairs. It is significant that the postponement of the loan is coin cident with strong movement of the . influential French press favorable to peace. The Matin prominently dis plays statement believed to reflect the views of financial circles which declares that if Japan -is ready to adopt a generous attitude by Waiving an idemnity or imposing any humilin- ton upon Russia then Russia's policy of war to the bitter end will cease. It is noticeable that some of the Rus sian officials speak approyingly of the latter propositions. They say peace is impossible if an indemnity or any humiliating conditions are asked so that the elimination of these two points will go far towards securing fla vorable consideration of peace.

HURRICANE SWEEPS OVER
 THE COASTS OF IREL LAND
The English Coast Also in the Path of the StormOne Ship Was Totally Wrecked off the Cornish Coast Property Badly Damaged in the North of Ireland Royal Officials Prevented From Visiting Portugal

London, March 15.-A storm of hur- ricane force burst over the Irish and English coasts during the night and it is feared that many disasters have occurred, but the telegraph lines are broken at many points. The British ship Khyber has been totally wrecked off the Cornish coast. Twenty-three of her crew were drowned and three were saved. The Khyber was on her way home rom Melbourne. Australia, which port she left October 26 bound for Queenstowm. The storm swept over the north of Ireland early this morning tn6 did grea, damage to prop. crty. Fears are entertained for thS safety of the fishing fleets.
 The nigh winds have caused consid- erable L;Lyoc along the coasts of the United Kingdom. Telegraphic con- 1Gunication between London and many points is cut off. The lifeboat stations are busy and shipping everywhere is seeking ilelter. Numbers of minor Wrecks, accompanied by loss of life, have been reported. Terrific seas are running.
 The departure of Queen Alexandra, Princess Victoria and other members of the royal family from Portsmouth for Lisbon, to return the visit of the king and queen of Portugal, which was to have occurred yesterday and which was prevented by the weather, was again postponed. this time until to- morrow.
 The Khyber was built at Liverpool in 1880. She registered 1927 tons net and was owned by J. Joyce & Go of Liverpool.

BEACH BLOCKED TT.

Alderman Beach deserves to be r,A membered by statue in the new H. brary park. At the meeting Monday night he assured the opposition in that calm. convincing way fOr which he is nute,I that even though authority should he granted by the general as sembly to issue bonds none of them could be sold until after ten members of the aldermen had passed a vote to that effect. This served two purposes. one was the taking of a very damaging weapon out of the hands of those who wanted to defer action for a week. and the other resulted in prompting many who never heard of such a thing be fore to read the charter from cover to cover with a view to finding out what section contains that provision They are going over it the second time now. hut so far they have not been able t, find it. Still it is fair to conclude that it is there. but perhaps those who ars looking it up are so excited they can not locate it

 Northwest Territory

New York. March 15.-Wholesale prosecution of Mormons on the charge of polygamy have begun at Raymond, Alberta, one of the northwest terri tories which has been made into a province, according to q Tribune spe- cial from Winnipeg. The mounted po- lice have taken up the campaign against the MOrmons, who number several thousands, having moved from the United States and from Ell- rope in the last five years.
 The first action was taken against a we'll known resident of Magrath. who recently brought two wives from the United States, whom he is said to have married in Utah. He declared he was not living in a polygamous state. but was given his choice of leaving the country or being prosecut- ed. Similar notices have been served on many others known to have more than one wife.

LEGISLATURE.
No Appeal From District Court of Waterbury..NO
 Selling of Pools.

Hartford, March 15.-The farmers' association at a meeting this morning discussed the various automobile bills which are being brought before thS present legislature. Some of the mem- bers were opposed to giving the au- toists any greater privileges as to speed than they now enjoy.
 The house was bombarded with corl- mittee reports, most of them from the judiciary and public health and safety committees and many were adverse to the proposed legislation. Chief among the measures rejected was the bill which permitted pool selling on har- ness tracks of the state for twelve days in the year; providing for the election of the county commissioners by the people; authorizing appeals from the district court of Waterbury to the su- preme court; providing for the use of an interpreter in the grand jury room in connection with capital cases; au. thorizing the printing of the public acts in Italian, and the bill providing for a penalty of $1,O0O fine on the proprietor of bucket shop.
 It was reported at the capitol to-
  ship of the New London city court had been settled. Judge W. B. Colt would be reappointed and Charles B. Whittlesey would be appointed city attorney.
 The senate session was a lengthy, one. The senate insisted on its for- mer action in adopting the resolution for an insurance of S1,OO0,00O on tha capitol building and contents. The bill providing for penalty for the selling of cider in less than five gallon lots was rejected on adverse report of the excise committee.
 The following bills were adopted, Establishing town court in Southng- ton, establishing the town court of Orange. The bill providing for the payment of $10O annually to each blind person fin the state was rejected.
