DE LANEY'S
 STATEMENT

To Farmer reporter who asked him for a statement in reference to the at tack of the Pastors association. to- day. Prosecutor Delaney said:
 1T am taken somewhat by surprise at this so-called open letter of the Bridgeport Pastors Association. don't care to enter into newspaper controversy or to make any statements in reply off hand but I certainly shall not sit idly by and take the abuse heaped upon me or the unwarranted criticisms.
 "In reference to Sunday baseball. if have erred 1t has been through a honest difference of opinion.
 "As to the letter mentioned concern ing a prize fight held in 1907 will say that I never received such letter and have no knowledge of 1t. was not in town at the time the controversy arose concerning the Weber license at Steeplechase Island. Any complaints concerning this matter by any citizen, by the ministers association or by the police should have been made to As sistant Prosecuting Attorney Wilder at that time and not through so-called open letter at this time.
 ''The information contained in this letter concerning the grand ball and concert at Lincoln Hall on Nov. 15.' is the first I have received about such an affair being held. If the members of the association knew about 1t and are the law abiding citizens they profess to be they should have made com plaint.
 I consider it the duty of the Bridge port Pastors Association to mention any and all ''reasons" within their knowledge why should not be reap pointed I have absolutely nothing to regret in the conduct of my office. As prosecuting attorney I have acted without fear or favor. Tn my opinion the attack by the Bridgeport Pastors Association has reached personal stage. If so I shall deal with the members as ordinary citizens and not as ministers of the pulpit I consider the minister's place and duty is in his own pulpit preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, not meddling with civic affairs. As ministers they should be treated with the greatest respect pro-. vided they remain within their own ministerial circle, Once outside of that

lme grows short
 for Mill End shopping.

There should be no failure to profit by the chances that are so plenty in the Mill End sale No person should let the opportunity slip by without improving it. Economies are as plenty in the sale as plums in a Christ mas pudding. You, personally, should get your share of them.
 No matter how many times you have been to this 22nd sale, there are some things you have missed seeing. In every corner of the store, there is Mill End lot. You may have seen, for example, the cut glass and the costumes and the hats and yet have failed to see the handsome rugs. Or you may have seen the beautiful silks and the excellent shoes and overlooked the books and the stationery.
 But there is still time You may yet make a careful tour and pick from the many Mill End lots that are available. Every time you pick, there is money saved. The Mill End prices all are less than regular prices. The Mill End tickets always tell story of savings And everything that the Mill End sale brings is dependabe; we could not afford to have it otherwise.
 Yes, time is growing short. If you would share in the chance do it with no delay.
