only thirty. Then he was sheriff for two
terms before coming to the Sixty-first

man who has just made his debut in
the House-Hamilton Fish Of New York,
son OF that Hamilton Fish who was an

bold contrast with those which have been

Oldest known statue or Joan.
Presented to town Of Domremy by Louis XI.
astical tribunal called together at Poitiers.
Presided over by Regnault de Chartres.
Archbishop of Reims. and composed of
the leading professors of the university
and Of parliament, this tribunal met
March %. 1929, and continued to sit for
six weeks. Joan disputed SO wisely be-
fore the learned doctors that they were
amazed, and while they questioned her in
spiration at the outset, they vainly strove
to embarrass her, or to produce proofs
against her. She baff1ed them SO COM
pletely in every argument, her prophecies
were SO remarkable. her sincere convic-
tions so absolute. that the ecclesiastical
court finally sent to the king the verdict
which caused Charles to accept her mis-
sion and intrust to her the relief party
by which she was to save Orleans miracu-
lously in the face of overwhelming odds.
Only the conclusions of the verdict are
extant, the details of the trial having
been lost: but these conclusions are de-
tailed enough to establish that the only
regularly constituted ecclesiastical tri
bunal called to judge Joan, approved her
unreservedly and declared among other
things:

of the cabinet.
Returning to New York, he settled down
to law and served eleven years in the
legislature. where he was twice elected
speaker. When elected to Congress last
fall he was serving his second term as
assistant treasurer of the United States,
directing the big subtreasury at the me-
tropolis.
Another scion OF distinguished family
to enter this Congress is John Motley
Morehead of North Carolina, the grand
son of that John Motley Morehead who
was twice elected whig governor OF that
state back in the forties. While John
Grant was teaching himself alongside his
pine knot fire, down there in the back
woods of North Carolina, the able young
grandson of a governor was plodding his
way through military school and through
the state university. yet both have ar
rived at the same goal at the same time.

Mr.. Barlow's banking career covers
a period of some thirty years. He was
born in Cornwall Litchf1eld county,
and at an early age removed to New
Milford, where he received his edu-
cation. While still a boy, he entered
the First National Bank of New Mil
ford as clerk, and after remaining
there for time was engaged as as
sistant to National Bank Examiner
Mygatt. He remained in this, position
for about four years. In the year 1884
he was chosen to the position of teller
of the First National bank of NewsMil-
ford and remained there about seven
years, when an opportunity came for
promotion to a larger field Of useful
ness and in 1891 he accepted the posi-
ton Of teller In the Poquonock Ma
tiopal bank of Bridgeport, which posi-
ton he held for thirteen years. When
in 1903 changes were made in the Of
ficials Of the Yale National bank of
New Haven, and the position of cash
Ter was vacant, Mr.. Barlow, being
highly recomm ended for the Office, re-
ceived the appointment from a list of
about fifty applicants and has served
the bank in that capacity ever since.

UnfavorabIe Report of All Measures

(special to The Bulletin.l

Hartford June 1.-THE settlement
of the contention over the New Lon
dom roton ferry and its rates, which
has occupied the attention of the COM
mittee on roads. rivers and bridges
all Of this session. as well as all of
the sessions of every legislature in re-
cent years has been settled by the
0nfavorable report of all measures af-
fecting it and their rejection by the
house-and doubtless next week by
the senate-in a manner which is
highly satisfactory to all of the rep
resentatives and senators from that
vicinity, with the possible exception
of Senator Latimer of Groton. The
chances are that Mayor Armstrong of
New London and the Groton sympa-
thizers who'wished the rates of ferri-
age reduced and even offered to take
over the ferry and run it at reduced
rates may not feel as well pleased.
but the owners of the Thames Ferry
company doubtless are and the house
members are especially satisfied over
the fact that the fight over this mat
ter will not get into the house, as it
has done in some previous sessions.
1t is stated privately that if the
committee had seen fit to recommend
and the general assembly to pass a
measure under which the rates would
be reduced, the result would have been
that the Thames Ferry company would
be obliged to apply for receiver or
borrow money from family. sources
already carrying heavy burdens on
account Of the ferry which are hardly
likely to be lightened. This was made
plain to the committee and has been
to members of the house. And while
the offer made to take over the ferry
and run il at reduced rates might have
been taken up by the legislature, much
doubt is felt as to whether those in
terested would have really come for
ward to carry out this offer, which
was known to have been inspired by
Mayor Armstrong.
The position of the committee on
roads, rivers and bridges, of which
Mr. Bushnell OF Norwich is clerk, was
never an easy one, for there has been
considerable pressure brought to bear
in favor of the Armstrong side of the
contention. Especially was this true
n.view of the fact THAI Senator Lati-

which went to New London to look
into the matter, which consisted of
Messrs. Smith of Chester, LaFrance

report to the full committee.

terest in the United States, about
which she seemed to have imbibed the
usual extra ordinary ideas Of some
Britons, especially with regard to the
perils to be encountered in the more
sparsely settled regions Of the west.
She tried her best not to be incredu-
lous when assured that things were
not really so bad as she imagined.

"but my cousin wrote me not long

made no immediate response, "per-
