BOARD OF PARDONS IS
 UNM0YED IN BAILEY CASE
MURDERER OF GOoDALE NEST HANG AT WETHERSFIELD
 APRIL 16.

'iini'terS Legislators, Lawyers, Church
 Members ana Jailors Plead for Con-
 demned Man--Onc of the Hardest
 Battles for a. Human Life Before
 This Tribunal in Many Years-Wife
 Also Testifies--Minister Tells How
 Playmates Have Placed Rope About
 Neck of One of Bailey's Children.
 Hartford, April S.--The board of par dons this afternoon refused to commute the sentence of Henry G. Bailey, who murdered George H. Goodale This means that Bailey will be hanged here April 1s
 In attempt to save Bailey, ministers, legislator lawyers, church members and jailors, appeared before the board of pardons to-day to plead for the condemned man. It was one of the hardest battles for human life that has been made before this tribunal for many years and throughout the testi mony the prisoner sat with bowed head and shed tears
 The session was specially called to consider this case. Among the many witnesses was the prisoners wife. ~hS testified that her husband had taken four knds of drugs in an effort to over come the liquor habit. Another said that there was not liquor enough in Hartford to make Bailey stagger. AL cohol fired his brain but he never stag gered. He had opportunities to steal and rob but was always honest It was explained that the prisoners sis- ter was in a precarious condition as q result of Bailey's dilemma. It was con- tended that the ends of justice would be fully served if the senJence was com muted to life imprisonment.
 The Rev. Edwin M. Pickop of Dur ham made a strong plea for mercy. He told of the effect the fulflment of the | death sentence would have upon his | little children. He said that some of I the boys are already putting rope around the neck of one of the prison CTS sons in play.
 State Attorney Haynes reviewed the case and said he was not present to do or, say anything against the exercise of clemency by the board of pardons.
 Attorney Newton in addressing the board on behalf of the prisoner, said he did not appear as paid attorney, but because he never believed Bailey was guilty of murder in the first de- gree. MT. Newton was SO overcome that he almost broke down, and he ask ed the board to excuse his display of feeling. He said that prior to the cline Bailey had been taking drugs to keep sober and he and Goodale had been on spree for week.
 Attorney Donaghue said that Bailey's mother is addicted to drugs, and at the l present time will drink quart of lau- danum in a week, and Is capable of the disposal of pint day. He read l Goodale's court record, and said that when he was drunk he was the most | quarrelsonle man in Midllesex county. Several ministers who knew Bailey in l Durham and other towns also testified.

J, Easton, the captain of the collier Caesar, which was engaged in towing the barge from Key West to the Norfolk navy yard, when the barge's towing hawser parted. to send all information regarding the wnerea- bouts of the crew of the barge, and later the department received the fol- lowing dispatch from Easton:
 ''Mayport, Fla, April S.--Nine men of barge's crew were not on board when barge was picked up It Is reported here that four-masted schooner was alongside of barge just previous to her being picked up Master of Nordkyn states that clock was running when he picked the barge up.

 The first word of the finding of the barge was the receiving of telegram by the navy department this morning from the commander of the Caesar, stating that the barge had been pick cd up, and was being lowed into May port at the mouth of the St. John rlv- CT, and the latter telegram indicated that the crew may have been taken off by a passing steamer.
 The Caesar, while towing the barge up the coast struck very heavy wealth CT in the Gulf stream, and on April 1, during a heavy northwest squall With heavy seas, the barge went adrift from the Caesar The Caesar, after search ing unsuccessfully for the barge for four days proceeded to Charleston and reported to the department.
 The department immediately direct ed the Caesar, the Potomac, Abarenda, the Cleveland and St. Louis to search for the missing barge. The steamer Mormus reported passing an oil barge adrift a short distance to the north- ward of where the coal barge had been adrft, but the barge seen by the Nor mus turned out to be Standard oil barge.

 -TeIIs Conservatives That a Ma

 would be Unwise.
 Havana, April S.--The members of the committee of insurgents with whom Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon made arrangements for peace in Cuba in September last had a long conference with the secretary to- day,
 Secretary Taft, in spite of the demand of the committee, refused to give his visitors the date of the withdrawal of the American forces from Cuba.
 At the close of the conference sena- tors zayas and Morua Delgado and General Jose NJ. Gomez informed the correspondent of The Associated Press that MT. Taft had declared to them that it was impossible to hold elections in Cuba until a complete census of the island had been taken, which will oc- cupy about four months He added that municipal and provincial elections would probably be held some time in September, but he could not given any probable date for the presidential elec- tions, simply saying that they would follow the others.
 The committee asked that the moder- ate governors in the provinces and that the moderate mayors and city coun- clls be replaced by liberals but MT. Taft declared that he would leave that en- tirely to Governor Magoon. He added that the administration was highly sat isfied with the governors conduct of Cuban affairs and he would be given more authority than ever.
 The secretary had a busy afternoon. At ? o'clock hem ct the conservatives and discussed the insular situation. He said that owing to economical condi- tions he considered national election of an early date to be unwise, and rec- commended that such election be post | poned until the outcome of the munich pal and provincial elections be seen. The conservative representatives eS- pressed their willingness to leave all to the good Judgment of the United States. Secretary Taft desires to see the con servatives again before he leaves, and probably will meet them on Wednesday,
 After this interview representatives of all the leading banks of Cuba called upon Secretary Taft and asked him to give them one or two years notice be- l fore the holding of national elections claiming that unless this were done the effect upon commercial conditions in the island will be disastrous. The bank CTS urged the secretary not to change the present currency to American money, claiming that so to do would in crease the cost of living by 12 per cent The committee of the Chamber of Com- merce spoke to the secretary in a sim liar vein
 Secretary Taft told the bankers he understood that they preferred perma- nent American control In Cuba, but that this could not be as Eve have ob- legations to the American people as well as to the Cubans, and the matter must be considered in it's political as we'll as its economical aspects"

 Church Between Pastor and People.
 Winsted, April S.-It was learned here to-day that when Rev. William P. Bartlett, pastor of the Baptist church of North Colebrook, went to that edlfiye yesterday for the Sunday service, he found the church doors locked. No service was held.

 A predecessor of MT, Bartlett's, Rev. George w. Remington, of Winsted, was during his pastorata at one time locked out of the church.
