Hartford, Conn, Feb. 21.--About
forty Trustees of tho Connecticut
Baptist Convention met in special
session to consider the alleged defal-
caion of the funds of tho convention
by William Walker of New Britain,
the absconding Treasurer of the
Savings Bank of New Britain, who
was also Treasurer of the conven-
ton
Mr.. Walker has served as Treas
urer for nearly twenty-one years and
It row transpires that his peculatlons
cover considerable period, during
which time he has been rendering
false reports and substituting other
securities for those listed in his re-
por;. This was quite possible because
of his relations to the Savings Bank
of New Britain.
! he funds of the convention
amounted to about $4,000, so that
the amount Walker is charged with
taking is a little over two-thirds
The statement closes by saying that
the greatest loss is that to the man
himself.

ANXIOUS TO BID
. ON STREET WORK
IMPROVEMENT BOARD URGED TO
TAKE UP WASHINGTON
AVENUE PAVEMENT.
BONDS CAN Be PLACED
And Bdd viii BE Made Within EST
mated Cost BY Responsible
Contractor, Says r. l..
Kinney.

4 n H. Kinney. who represents th'
American Asphalt & Rubber Co, was
! IN the city yesterday and had con
| ference with some Of the aldermen
more especially members of the
Board of Local improvements. Mr.
Kinney was here OH very important
mission the outcome Of which may be
an earlier beginning Of work on the
Washington avenue Improvement
than was looked for. Mr. Kinney
claims to have a contractor who Is
anxious to bid on the pavement; who
will bid for ii within the estimated
cost, and vino will finance the i'm
proyement himself or see that the
bonds are taken care Of.
As is known. the reason why the
project has been held up Is that the
bidders had not provided for taking
the bends provided for in the ordi
nance and the money stringency has
rendered it inadvisable TO readvertise
for the work The Poard of Local
improvements met last week and
voted to defer the matter till after
January j. partly becarse il was be-
ilcyed that money would be easier
then and the bid on the work would
be lower, and also because it was
believed that this would be in ample
time for the beginning OF the work
in spring.
Mr. Kinney's proposition may be
acted upon By the Board. II II can be
dome without bringing confusion into
the matter
