the structure, the installation of g large terminal and switchboard These plans were carried out to the letter and the system after weeks o1 labor was installed.
 The switchboard, which is furnished floor to the left of the office. It is the latest type of Western Electric board having positions for two operators. It is equipped for 25O telephones and connects some POO at the present time. Trunk lines connect this switch board with the Southern New Eng land Telephone Company's central of
 The operation of the switchboard is the same as in the central office board of the telephone Company. In front of each operator are fifteen pair of cords used in establishing connections. The signals are given by tiny lamps by means of which the operator knows when the conversations have been completed. By using all the cords on the board it is possible for very many connections to be established at the same time either between telephones within the hotel or%between the hotel and Bridgeport subscribers, or be- tween stations in the hotel and other order to insure the most efficient op- eration of the system two operators who have had several years exper- fence with the local exchange of the Telephone Company are in charge of this work.
 In addition to the switchboard there are three booths finished also in ma hogany. One of these is connected into the Stratfield switchboard; the other two trunk directly to the central of flee of the telephone Company and are operated as pay-stations.

 DEFENDS ADJ. GEN. COLE
Response Called Forth by Criticism Df rected at Gen. Cole by Major
 Bondren.
Editor Farmer:

Editor Farmer:
 Dear Sir-An article on vaccination signed by Major Thomas Boudren ap- peared in your issue of May 24th in which the writer stated .I hardly think Adj. Gen. Cole gave much thought to his subject when he issued that order Con vaccination) or he never would have done 1t. No doubt the Surgeon General who prompted this order is a. great man in the profession and his opinion on such matters should not be questioned, but unfortunately for this class of gentlemen there are some laymen who know a. good deal more about this subject than they do."
 do not know what the personal views Of Adj. Gen. Cole are upon the subject Of vaccination, but his orders relative to the same for the Naval Militia must be based upon the U. $. Navy Regulations and in these 1t is provided in sections 1133 and 1134 that recruits shall be immediately vaccinat- ed and in case of failure, the opera- ton shall be repeated until the medi- cal officer is convinced that the per son is protected.
 Although Major Boudren may be sin- cere in his alnti-vaccination crusade he is not justified in attacking Adj. Gen. Cole tor his orders on the sub- feet. The only course open to the Ma jor would be te have the Navy Depart- ment change the regulations applying to vaccination.
 Respectfully,

 Great Britain signed a treaty with the powers in Berlin that she would protect the Christians in Turkey. She has not washed her hands of the stain of 100000 victims in 1895, and she is not much concerned now. Is this pro- lection an honoring of ones signature? What has a helpless child to do with politics that it must die because Ger many approves the sultan's actions for Bagdad Railroad concessions; or be- cause England and Russia cannot agree who shall take the best piece of old Turkey?

THREE HUNDRED
 ORGANIZE AGAINST
 PROFANE LANGUAGE

With a charter list of 300 members the Holy Name Society of St. Mary's Church was formed, yesterday, at a meeting held in the church basement. The members are pledged not to swear profanely by any oath whatever and particularly not to take in vain the name of the Saviour. The movement for the society was instituted by the Paulist fathers during their recent visit to St. Mary's. The following officers were elected: President. Michael Mc- Namara: vice-president, Christopher Hope; secretary, James L.. McGovern; treasurer, John J. Mccarthy; chapAlin, address by Rev. Fathers Murphy ana Frederick
 Father Murphy gave an interesting talk upon the history of the society. He said: ''This society started at the time of the crusades. It is one of the oldest societies in the church. It has been approved by the Popes and coun- cils of the church. The object Of the society is to overcome the vice Of cursing ard swearing both in its mem bers and in the community at large by the good example of the members. Father Murphy defined cursing to be person wishes evil to another, while swearing consists in calling God to witness lightly and in other misuse of the Holy Name
 Father Broderick gave a. stirring ad- dress, dwelling on the great benefit to be derived from the society, both to the members themselves and for the parish. Father Mulcahy was appoint ed chaplain. Meetings will be held senai-annuaIIy, but the obligation re- quires the members to attend the sac rament in a body once in three months. The society is divided into sections and the following men have been appointed section projects: James l.. McGovern, William A. Redden, Sylvester M. Mill Ter. John Hope, Christopher Hope, James Kearns, John Lyddy, James Feeley, J. J. Mccarthy. Thomas E. Hearn, James J. Kennedy, and John Tague.

 To get a still better idea of the value of this system we will assume that
 hurrying through his breakfast and catching his train. He wants to talk
 with New York, Boston, Chicago or some city in this state. Stepping to
 the telephone in his room he calls up
 the hotel operator and gives her the
 data for his call. By the time that he
 has finished dressing he has the party
 out having to leave his room or lose
 any time. It would be the same if he desired to talk with anyone in the city or with a guest in another part
 of the hotel.
 The telephone is used in the Strat- l field as time saver in another man
 ner, John Jones, who has room on
 the third floor, calls up the office and says what he wants. Thus the ne cessity of first sending a boy to find
 out what is wanted and then filling the order by a second trip is avoided The delay is less, the service more efficient, the guest better pleased. It which the telephone service assists in
 the work of giving the patrons of the hotel the best possible service. The
 presence of the telephone in the pri- vate dining rooms, waiting rooms, etc
 works out in the same way. The picture accompanying this ar
 ticle gives some idea of the switch the need of the telephone service-of-
 ten in a hurry-that the completeness of the system in use at the Stratfield
 becomes most forcibly evident

The system outside of the switch board shows perhops even more clear ly the completeness of the telephone arrangements. On each floor, beginning with the second, boxes or terminals have been built in the corridor walls, two on each floor From one of these wires are carried to the rooms on the east side of the building and from the other the circuits run to the west wing of the hotel. Running from the switch
 board through the conduits to these terminals in pipes are special cables, these cables containing twenty-four and twenty pair of copper wires. At the terminals these wires are split up and distributing wires run to the diff ferent telephone sets. These wires are concealed in the walls so that the on- ly indications of telephone system are the switchboard and the booths and sets in the various rooms and of fees.
 On the wall of practically every guest room is a square mahogany hotel set. There are other telephones in the restaurant, the office, the ball room, the private dining rooms, wait ing rooms, engine rooms, in fact ev- anywhere that there could be the slightest need for telephone service All of these telephones of course are connected into the switchboard on the

INSTRUCTORS MEET IN DISCUSSION
 OF CRIMINALS
Especial from United Press.)

Chicago, June 7.-Criminaas and criminal laws were discussed at a congress that met today in the North western University building. The idea of the meeting, according to Dean John H. Wigmore and Professor Roscoe Pound of the University Law School, its originators is to bring together all the varying interests to formulate propositions for reform methods in dealing with crime.
 Perhaps the most radical topic pro- posed for discussion was a. suggestion that convicts be employed at some profitable labor, the proceeds of which. instead of going to the State or county. shall be used for the support of those dependent upon the criminal. The abolition of the Grand Jury, which many students say has outlfved its usefulness, will also be considered.
 The delegates that assembled this morning were divided into three sec tons for the consideration of the fol- lowing general topics: Treatment, penal and remedial of offenders; or ganization. training and appointment of officialsA criminal law and proce- dure.
 About 100 delegates were present from all parts of the country and are for the most part connected with col- legeS and universities.
