CongregatiOnalists Meet
in Greenwich

The Fairfield County Association of
Congregational Ministers met at the
Second Congregational Church in
Greenwich Tuesday forenoon and af-
ternoon. Rev. George D. Egbert of
Norwalk, presided as moderator, and
Rev. DIR. Herbert S. Brown of Darien,
was the secretary.
Lunch was served at noon by a COM
mittee of ladies of the Greenwich
Church, for which address of thanks
was given by Rev. H. c. Woodruff of
Bridgeport.
At the afternoon session the 1egisla-
tive committee gave it's report through
the chairman, Rev. Charles S. Mac
farland, of South Norwalk. He re-
ported concerning legislation at Hart
ford and the matters present ed receiv-
dconsiderable discussion.
Upon the motion of Rev. Gerald H.
Beard, of Bridgeport, the legislative
committee were instructed to present
a report at the next meeting of the
association, laying out work which the
ministers of the county and of the
state might do in obtaining good legis-
lators and good legislation. The work
of the legislative committee was given
hearty endorsement by the gathering
yesterday.

but that it is a parliamentary principle
that in a matter of this kind no good
could come Of reference to a commit
tee unless that committee was COM
posed of friends of the measure.
Representative Leet of Enfield, Bush
mitzer Of Doodaury and Humphrey Of
Roxbury, opposed this amendment
while Higgins of Winsted favored it
Humphrey made an especially impress
sive point that to tie the Speakers
hands would be a dfscourtesy. The iN-
Surgents were very plainly split uI
and somewhat at sea over this matter
of Wilmington, one of their leaders
spoke against the amendment and
moved the previous question. The
previous question was ordered and the
amendment was lost.

thing Of his plan. Chandler offered an
other amendment requiring that six Of
the nine House members be chosen
from those who were in the negative
vote. There was sharp debate on this,
during which Dunno Of Willfmantic as
serted that the object of Burnes' reso-
luton was to kill the entire PROPOSE
ton and that the great amount of
lobbying that was being done proved
this concIusively.
The Burnes resolution was then
passed and transmitted to the Senate
under a. suspension of the rules. Be-
fore the final conclusion of the matter
Representative Forster of Rockville
called the attention of the chair to the
fact that the House has once refused
ciary committee and expressed the
hope that the Speaker would recognize
this fact in appointing the House MEM
bers of the joint committee. y

MRS. THOMPSON
CLAIMS LAWYERS
OVERCHARGED Her

Because Louisa Thompson of SIAM
ord thought that the attorneys in the
estate of her husband, Harry Thomp-
son, who died leaving 100000 behind
him were overpaid, she made an ap-
peal from the finding of the probate
court which is being heard before
Judge Curtis in the Superior court.
Thompson left realty to the amount of
about s45, 900, the remainder being in
stocks and bonds. In his will he nam
ed the New York Life Insurance Co.
as executors
Mrs. Thompson does not object to
the fees of the Stamford probate court,
but she does object to the. s5,4S0 which
the Insurance company charged, also
81, 37s charged by Attorney W. T. EN-
met and $1,000 by Attorney F. D. Hub
bell, both of New York The plain
tiff's chief claim is that the will was
probated lin this state, and the ac-
counting made in this state and that
the fees should be Connecticut fees. In
her claim she does not believe that the
lawyers did enough work to warrant
the charges they made.
The plaintiff is represented by Attor-
x1ey G. p. Rowell of New York and the
defense by F. A. Hubbell, John c.

STORY OF PAYNE.
WHO ESCAPED FROM
IMPRISONED CREW
American Residents of Kingston
Investigating His Tale Regard
ing the Imprisonment Of Cap
tain and Crew Of American
Whaler Five Years Ago.
Especial from United Press.)


Kingstown, st. Vincent, British
Northwest May 6.-American residents
of KingStown are to-day investigating
the story told by a man named Payne
that the captain and crew of an Am
erican whaler Carrie D. Knowles, are
imprisoned at or near Maracaibo, Ven
ezuela. Payne says he is member
of the crew and escaped last month.
He said the whaler, driven by fierce
storms, put into port five years ago
and that Captain Collins stepson and
the crew of II men were seized and
thrown into prison where they have
since been held.
Payne tells rambling, incoherent
story but with several evidences of
credibility and the Americans here
have placed the matter before Fried
erick Van Ding. the American consul
ait JuddStOwn, Jamaica, with the re-
quest that he communicate with Ven
ezuela-
The Carrie D. Knowles, according to
Payne, had a crew made up of native
West Indians with the exception of
himself, the captain and first made. No
charges were made against the men
according to Payne and no trial was
granted. He says the prisoners have
suffered untold hardshipS and have
not been allowed to communicate with
anyone outside their prison. This ac-
counts for the fact that the imprison-
ment has been kept such a secret as
it was generally supposed that the
crew had been lost at sea-
Those who have heard Payne's story
are divided in their opinions as to it's
truth.
