SAYS BELGIUM WILL ANNEX CONGO
Leader of Reform Society Hurries to Wash
ington to Urge Interference.

Chicago Dec. 1s.-"The Record Herald says to-
day that, fearful that the Congo Free State has
been formally annexed by Belgium leaders of the
Congo Reform Association hurried TO Washington
last night TO urge immediate action by the United
States. Herbert S. Johnson, leader in the propa-
ganda received telegram at dinner last night
summoning him to Washington He started for the
capital at II o'clock and said just prior To leaving
that it had been decided to urge with the utmost
pressure that the Senate take definite action be-
fore the holiday adjournment.
The telegram to MIR. Johnson was from the Rev.
DR.. Thomas s. Barbour, head of the Baptist Mis-
sions in Africa and the commissioner general of
the Congo Reform Association in America. The
telegram stated that advces by cable from Brussels
Indicated that Belgium through its parliament. had
formally assumed sovereignty over the Congo Free
State pending the closing of formalities between
King Leopold personal proprietor and inteTna-
tonal landlord and the representatives OF tne BEL
gian government.
The point about the alleged transaction which has
so stirred up the interested leaders is that the deal
is to be consummate ted before the death or t\ing
Leopold. and the terms Of the will yof the King
which were formally ratified by Belgium several
days ago. are to become effective at once.
Boston. Dec. 1S.-At the Congo Reform Associa-
tions headquarters in this city to-day 1T stated

CANAAN SAVINGS BANK
Has 1000 Depositors-Has Had 37oo
 Since its Inception.

The Canaan Savings Bank has had deposits placed with it by somewhat more than 3700 people since its in- ception. In this bank. as in all others, accounts are being constantly opened and closed, old depositors draw out their savings for various reasons and new depositors place their money with the institution. Each account is numbered and for various reasons when a depositor withdraws his or her account, that number is never giv- en to a new depositor.
 At the present time the Canaan Savings Bank has, approximately, 1000 live accounts A considerable portion of these are owned by Italians who are employed in the vicinity of Canaan, principally at the lime kilns. The bank officials say these foreigners readily learn the American methods of banking and that the transactions appear to be mutually satisfactory. They save carefully and methodically and some of their accounts are of con- siderable size.
 The bank has also been a helpful institution for many people or moder- ate or limited means in Canaan and vicinity. They take pride in having a bank account and have formed the habit of adding to it at regular inter vals and the result is that their assets at the present time are considerably greater than they would have been in the absence of the local depository for savings.
