SPEAKER CANNON UNEASY
Possibility OF the Insurgents Winning

Washington, March 8, Tho
prospect that the combination of In
surgent republicans and democrats
will be able to change the rules and
take the appointment of committees
out of the hands OF the speaker caus-
ed much uneasiness among the Can
non men and they are trying to In
yoke President Taft's influence to
stop the bolt among the republicans.
The speakers friends point out that
If the committees are roorgani2cd
the new ways and means committee
would probably not accept the bill
prepared by the present committee
headed by Mr., Paine. That would
necessitate the preparation OF ano-
ther bin aud additional delay. a cir
cumstauee which they urge, would
inlurc business conditions, some
thing the president Is anxious TO
avoid by hurrying the tariff legisla-
tlon 60 early enactment The regu-
lars are also urging the argument
that to fomcnt dissenslons IA the re-.
publican ranks at this time Is eluiy-
alent to promoting democratic pros
poets, for It Is admitted that pro-
trncted row over the rules and the
tariff would depress general business
conditions and bring disaster TO the
republicans under similar ctrcum-
stances to that which overlook the
democrats following the preparation

The case of Edgar T. Andrews of Bethel, against John R. Peck Of New town, was tried before Justice Will liam T. Mason of Bethel on Weures- day last. It seems that on April 4; 1908, MT Peck bought a horse of M Andrews, agreeing as claimed by MT Andrews, to pay $1S5 for the same, and. that $150 only was paid, leaving a balance of S35 due For this suit was brought. It w&s claimed Dy MT Peck that MT Andrews warranted the horse sound and true in every spot and place. MT Peck claims the horse did not so prove. The trial resulted in judgment for MT Andrews of s35 and costs, from which judgment an appeal was taken to the Court of Common Pleas for the April term. A large number of witnesses from New town, Bethel and Bridgeport were in attendance but their testimony was not taken. Henry A Gilbert ap- peared for MT Andrews and Judge Beecher for MT Peck.

BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES.

Figures can be made to lie but we put a lot of trust in them. It has been said that live church is impossi- ble without a live Sunday school. Att tendance records may not be indicators of the amount of life in school but it is certain that only live Sunday school can grow. The following fig ures taken from the books of the Bap- tist Sunday school are quite interest Ing. The total attendance during the last six months was 1869 against 720 for the same period last year. The average attendance has increased over 16 per cent, being nearly 43 while last year it was 36. Many visitors also have been present during these months, 62 of them in all. The school is unique in the number of adults on its rolls, there being three classes all of excel- lent size lin addition to the class of young men taught by Charles Purdy. This growth is due to the following causes: the efficiency of the officers, the faithfulness and ability of the teachers. During the six manths there was one period.of six successive Sun days during which all the teachers were present. They also have. with their faithfulness, experience, five of them having been engaged, or now en- gagged, in public school teaching, and two of the others have had years of ex- perience in Bible teaching. The in- troduction of new methods among the Junior classes has helped. The mid week service with the variety of sub jects maintains its helpfulncss. The subject for next weeks meeting is the first in the Pilgrims Progress Series, Leaving the City of Destruction.
 The Portal Class, which continues to grow, will meet on Friday evening at 7.sO at the parsonage.
 The next Sunday will be one of activ- ity. Covenant meeting at 10.90 a. m., morning worship at Il a. m., con- munion service following the morning worship, Judd district meeting at 7p.m.

Claimed to be Endorsed by Dr Gale.

One who called himself Benjamin Wood of Brooklyn, N. Y., was, upon the request of Deputy Sheriff John son, apprehended by Josiah B. Downs, on Friday laGt, as ha was about to take the train from Steven son station and turned over to hher- if Johnson. Mrs Charles F. Curtis of Berkshire telephoned to MT Joh'i- son that several elderly persons Tn that neighborhood had been induced by Wood 10 putchasc srectacles oi him, paying therefor fabulous prices Some of them were patients of Dl Gale, which he knew, and to induce them to buy his glasses he said pr Gale had sent him to them. He also said he was an assistant of Dr F. M. Wilson, the eminent 0culist Of Bridgeport. On Saturday morning upon complaint of D. c. Peck, grand juror, he was brought before Justice of the Peace Patrick H. Mccarthy, charged with defrauding MrsAugust- us Peck, mother of Mrs c. B. Taylor, and w. G. hard, to which complaint he pleaded guilty and after promis- ing the court that he would if per mitted, shake the mud of Newtown from his feet and never return, was fined $1 and costs, amounting in the whole to $16.91, which he paid. And by so doing he unquestionably es- capped prosecution for d more serious osfense, namely writing prescriptions, proof of which exists in two pre- scriptions in the hands of the local authorities. It seems that he was in town about two years ago, and while here called at Dr Gales office and claimed to be sick. He said he had collie. Dr Gale prescribed for bim, whereupon he asked permission to lie down on the couch in the doctors office. This was accorded him, and he lay down for an hour or two dur ing the absence of the doctor It is presumed that while there in some way he got the names of the doctors patients. The Bee feels in duty bound to warn people against travel ing men of this type.

1t is a most despicable thing to re- sort to anonymous letter writing to work off personal grudge or greiVance of any kind, and the person receiving such letters should properly ignore them even had they well sustained suspicious as to the author. A per son who would resort to anonymous letter writing has so small degree of true manhood or true womanhood, that it would be hard to find 1t with a microscope.
