COUNTRY INTERESTED
What q Prominent Man Heard Ike.
 garding Lilley.

To the Editor of the Journal Courier.
 Dear sir; The fact that the political situation ip Connecticut has attracted the attention of the entire country is evidenced by the recent experience of a gentleman who has just come to New Haven from San Francisco. He is not a Connecticut man and knows little or nothing of Connecticut affairs Up- on his arrival he said to the writer. T wish you would tell me about the political situation in Connecticut growing out of the proposal to nomi- nate Congressman LilleS for governor by the republican party, All along the way across the continent, from San Francisco to New York, l found articles In the papers about Lilley When l got as far east as Chicago found in prominent paper very strong editorial deploring that Mir. Taft was to be burdened fin Connecti- cut with man who had been dis credited in congress like Lilley," It would appear from the experience of this traveller that the good name of Connecticut is on trial before the peo- pie of the entire country on moral issue, and 1t would seem that the ct- izens can only redeem the reputation of the state by refusing to elect the republican nominee for governor,

FRANCE AND MOROCCO
Former Government 10 Define Its
 Evacuation Plans.

Paris, May 3l.-The government this week will define before the French parliament its position relative to the evacuation of the Chaoula district in Morocco, by publishing it's instructions to General D'Amade, the commander of the French forces in Morocco which al- ready have been communicated to the powers. These provide for tho, gradual withdrawal of the French troops and their replacement by a native Moorish contingent as rapidly as this can be organized
 So far as the situation regarding the two sultans is concerned, France in tends to await developments. The chances of Ahd El-Aziz. the sultan of record, to retain his office, seem al- most hopeless, but 1t is thought that there might be a shift in fortune. If however, Mulai Hafld, the so-called sul- tan of the south. enters Fez and se- cures the submission of Tangier thus becoming de facto sultan, France will notify the signatories of the Algecras act. A delicate diplomatic situation then will be created unless the powers act In concert
 Mulai Half already has offered to ac- cept the stipuations of the Algeciras act, but an anxiety exists here that Germany may provoke trouble.

DRAG RIVER FOR CHILDREN

HITS MODERN LIFE
Priests and Levites Too Com mon in and Out of the
 Churches.
DIR. GORDON AT BAYFIELD,
Urges Yale Men to Go Out Into the World and Fill These Vacant
 Positions.

Rev George Angler Gordon of Bos- ton was the preacher at the Yale uni versity service in Woolsey hall yester- day morning. The service was one oi the most largely attended which has been held since Woolsey hall was open ed Sunday, the guests of the students who came to see the Yale-Prlnceton game filling the galleries
 Dr. Gordon took as the foundation of his sermon the parable of the man who went from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves He compared the victim of the robbers to man in general and the rocky road from Jerusalem to Jericho as the rocky road through life The robbers he compared to the poor foods, water, swindles which are con stantly coming up against one In life.
 Then taking up the priest and the Levite who came along the way and instead of assisting the victim, walked to the other side of the road and pass ed by. The characters like the priest and the Tevite, he said, are very com mon today apparently in the service Of the church and connected with the church organization But there is not room for all these characters in the church; there are many who live and act outside the church.
 It s this class of Levites and priests he said, who are destroying our modern life, If they are not actively harmful their apathy is such as to preclude chance of progress. The apathy of these classes is what has prevented the progress of Christianity It has pre- vented or delayed every move for the betterment of mankind in public or in private life.
 The Good Samaritan is the one en- couraging character in the parable He stands out alone as the one willing to do service in the parable, for the inn keeper with whom the injured man was left did what he did only for the pay he received. To go out into modern life and act the part of this Good Samaritan is the best service a man can do.

Fascination of Aeronautic Trips Brings Death to Another Intrepid Follower of

New York. May 31.--Entangled in the folds of large American flag he had waved as he made a parachute drop of 2,0o0 feet from a balloon at Hillside Park, near Passaic, x. J., late to-day, Frederick L. Wood, a twenty-one year old aeronaut whose home was in New Haven, Conn, fell helpless into the Passaic river near Nutley and was drowned before aid could reach him. Up to late hour tonight his body had not been recov- cred.
 Wood made his ascension at o'clock this afternoon and a thousand persons cheered as the big balloon rose from Hillside Park. an amuse- ment resort, bearing the youthful aeronaut who sat on the horizontal bar of the parachute. As the balloon rose Wood unfolded the flag which he waved to the cheering hundreds far below A gentle northeast breeze soon carried the balloon and tho aeronaut out of sight of the speeta- tors.

The parachute began to open and at moderate speed began its long descent Scores of people in Nutley watched the aeron- aut as he still gaily waved the flag. Nearing the earth Wood saw that he would probably fall into the Passuic river and flourishing his flag as last salute to scores of cheering spec.a- tors, who had hurriedly gathered on the river bank, he prepared for 8 plunge in the water. It was at tris moment while the parachute was only a hundred feet above the river that vagrant puff of wind caught the folds of the flag and wrapped them around Woods legs The aeronaut struggled frantically to free himself but with his limbs still bound by the flag he dropped into the water. He arose to the surface and cried for nelp but before the terror stricken specta- tors could come to his aid he tank. He was good swimmer but was too hampered to keep atloat.

A DISTINGUISHED PAINTER

Paris, May S1-A double murder was committed here during the early hours of the morning that for absolute brutality would be hard to parallel In the annals of the crimes of Paris. Adolphe Steinheil, a noted painter, a son of Louis Charles Auguste Sten- hell, one of the most celebrated of French artists and a grand nephew of Mcissonier, and his wife's mother, Mime Japy, were strangled to death in the artists home in the Rue de Vau- glrard; his wife was gagged and bound to a bed and heard her moth- CTS dying struggles as she fought for life with the murderers. The bound woman and the bodies of her husband and her mother were found by man servant who had arisen to prepare breakfast Mime. Steinheil, suffering from great nervous shock, told the po- lice that three men and a woman, the latter she thought she recognized as one of her husbands models, forcioly entered the house about i o'clock in the morning and sprang upon her like wild beasts, tying her to the bed. They mlstook her for her sixteen-year old daughter, who was absent In the coun- try. and one of the men demanded 10 know where the money received from sale of pictures had been placed.
 The woman with the men urged them 10 kill her, but they left Mime. Steinhel helpless and proceeded to other parts of the house where they strangled NJ. Steinheil and his mother in-law The whole house was ion- sacked and 1t was impossible to say how fierce the death struggle had been.
 The police seem totally at loss to account for the atrocity of the mur- der. whipcords drawn tight around the necks of the man and woman showing the manner of their taking on Late tonight 1t was reported that an Italian had been arrested as one | of the assassins.
 The muvder-rs succeeded in making of with over s5ooo worth of valun- bles. The original motive. according to the police. would seem to be rob. bery. as it had been the intention oi the steinhel family to make a ,rlr Into the country.
