his way out OF the frozen North with
news OF the discovery OF diamond

The reported new field is on the
Nottaway river, between Lakes Mat
tagami and Shabogama, 400 miles
almost due north OF Toronto, In the
northwest corner OF the Province OF
Quebec. The field Mackenzie reports
to be OF vast extent, he having picked
high grade stones from the blue clay
formation for distance of twenty
miles.
The American prospector and his
guide, Indian joe" spent two sum
mers looking for the field After 10
eating 1t last summer they were snow
bound and spent the winter at the
southwest end OF Lake Mattagami
subsisting by fishing and hunting. Az
ter terrible privations they made
their way to civilization, expecting Il
return again this summer.
Mackenzie took extraordinary pre-
cautions to keep his secret, but Tho
Indian guide imbibed too much liquol
and told the whole story.
Prospectors said to be backed b!

ditions into the region last summer
but were too far east to discover thu

Address Of the Bishops Read at the
General Conference.

Baltimore. Md, May AT today's
session Of the general conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church, Bish-
op Goodsell of Boston read the ad-
dress of the bishops. Although It's ex
pressions relative TO the liquor ques-
ton evoked the greatest amount of
enthusiasm, doubtless its most impor-
tant sentences were those embracing
the recommendation of the bishops
touching paragraph 24S of the church
discipline, which is the paragraph re-
lating to amusements.
The address recommends that from
paragraph 24S certain words indicated
but not quoted in the address, be
stricken out. The exact words are
dancing, playing at games Of chance,
attending theatres. horse races. cir.
cuses, dancing parties, or patronizing
dancing schools or taking such other.
The outcome of the bishops treat
ment of the liquor question was the
adoption of a resolution favorable to
the Littlefield interstate liquor ship
ment bill now before Congress. which
resolution is to be laid before Speaker
Cannon OF the House of Representa-
tives by committee tomorrow.

Christine Bau Was at Waterbury a
Private Patient


Montpelier. May Louis Neveaux
who was shot Tuesday evening by
Christine Bau, is doing we'll at Heaton
hospital and although still on the dan
yerous list his chances for ultimate
recovery were considered much bet.
er today. Neveaux takes hopeful
view OF the situation and the, symp.
toms of paralysis In the lower limbs
are disappearing. The X.Ray will be
Used In day or two to determine the
location of the bullet which is believed
to be In the spine on the side nearest
the heart. Unless blood poisoning
should develop, Neveaux has more
than an even chance for recovery.
DR.. Don ID. Grout, superintendent
Of the state hospital for the insane at
Waterbury, gave an interview today
over the long distance telephone In
reply to criticism that has been
made in certain quarters of the oflc-
ials of the hospital for allowing Miss
Bau to leave there last November.
DR.. Grout said that after being re.
leased from an asylum at Concord. n.
H., Miss Bau was placed In the Yer
mont hospital as a private patient and
her expenses were paid by her father.
When the latter desired to take her
away there was nothing by which the
girl could be held by the asylum auth
critics. Before releasing her, Doctor
Grout conferred with Attorney.Gener-
al c. c. Fits and was informed there
was no legal grounds on which n pri-
vate patient could be held after her
friends desired her release.
DR.. Grout also said Miss Bau was
not committed to the hospital by Or
der Of the court, which makes the
case entirely different, so far as the
hospital authorities are concerned
from that Of Mildred Brewster. DR..
Grout said he believed Miss Bau's
father acted in good faith when he
asked for her release last November.
Her father believed the homicidal
mania had passed away and that the
girl would be better off in her own
home with her parents.

$4,000 Necessary to Equip Home
Properly-$750 More Needed.

ProperIy-s75o More Needed.
We are glad to be able to announce
through these columns the gradual,
successful growth OF the building
fund. Some weeks ago a public an
lnouncement was made of the policy
of the trustees In this matter. since
which time the general appeal has
gone out.
This appeal has been N the form
Of newspaper articles. circular let
ters, personal letters and personal
calls by solicitors. Our plan was TO
raise $4,000 by asking for special
| pledges to put with the $4,000 pledge
which came at the beginning.
We are trying to secure five 1000
dollar pledges-two have been secur;
ed Who will be the third?
Eight 500-dollar pledges are needed
five are already pledged. Who will
be the next on our list?
Four 250-dollar pledges-one is Sc
cured. These will complete the first
half of our desired sum.
The 200dollar list should have five
names only two have yet been
placed there-twenty l00-dollar pied
ges will be needed. We can report
nine already secured. Twenty 50-dol-
lar pledges-of which ten are already
| filed.
Ten 25.dollar pledges-seven are
| filled out.
Besides these we are asking indiv-
iduals. church societies, and Sunday
schools for pledges of $40. IS and any
sum possible These will make the
remaining $3.50 which is needed tc
bring the amount up TO $4,000.
These appeals TO churches and so
cieties have been most generously re.
sponded to. and at the present time
he amount pledged In such sums is
| fully $500.
| You can readily see that much work
has yet to be done before our build
ing can be begun, il we follow the pol
icy outlined in the beginning of keep
ing free from debt.
We are grateful for the generous
help and interest shown by all. and
are not unmindful Of the sacrifice re
presented by many in the gifts and
pledges bestowed.
We can only urge In behalf OF the
boys and those who are so faithful,
performing duty under the hardes
conditions, that the effort be redoub
led, and special stress thrown upol
this worthy cause just now in the hou
of its greatest need.
You can greatly help IT, instead o
waiting for an appeal to reach you
