Warden Garner Is Ready To Spring
 The Death Trap

Wethersfield, oct. 27-The prospects being very bright for a hanging in Connecticut in the near future, so many fnurderers awaiting trial or sem tence around the state, today, Warden w. A. Garner, of the State Prison, was asked if he had any scruples about springing the death trap. / "No," he replied, laughingly. "It's my duty.''
 Deputy Warden George E. Baisden, who received considerable notice, last month, when he took leave of the pri- son after 38 years service, and who put nooses around the necks of A men sent to death by hanging, is living quietly in Hartford, today. He will receive full pay until November 1, when his resignation takes effect. Af- ter that date he will get $500 pension yearly from the State.
 Warden Garner today, stated there were ooe prisoners at his 'hotel," the normal number. While there are sev- eral ''lifers" in Murderers' Row, there are none awaiting the hangman's moose. The recent epidemic of shoot ing in New Haven, Fairfield, Middle sex and windham Counties is expect ed to send at least one man here to take the rope cure.''

Ministers Counsel Proceed Against
 District Attorney
Especial from United Press, ,


 Boston, Oct. 27-Steps toward re- stricting the activities of District Att torney Pelletier in the Grand Jury investigation of the death of Avis Linnell were taken, today. by coun- seI for Clarence V. T. Richeson, the minister accused of her death.
 A hot legal fight, which may in- terrupt the investigation, is considered probable.
 When Judge Sanderson, who is pre- siding over the present term of the superior court, reached the court house, today, he was asked for a hearing by ex-Judge James Dunbar, Congressman Robert o. Harris and Philip R. Dunbar, the lawyer who has conferred with Richeson in his cell at the Charles street jail.
 Judge Sanderson called the three lawyers into his private room and there was a long conference. The lawyers asked Judge Sanderson to de- eide whether District Attorney Pel- letter was not overstepping his pow CTS when he summoned Robert Burns. of the Burns Detective Agency, before the Grand Jury and submitted him to a grilling. They asked that the Dis trict Attorney be restrained from

 Both James R. Dunbar and Con- gressman Harris are former occu- pants of the superior court bench. Each also has been a district attorney.
 The district attorney, Immediately after the hearing and following a con terence with his assistants, said he would not ask Detective Rnrns to +eso tify but insisted he will be within his rights as prosecutor to caH be- fore the Grand Jury any person he thinks will aid in establishing tbe case against Richeson, whether that not VI

are the children of a race Of great
men and noble women. We possess
an inheritance surpassed by that of
no other people. From father to son,
during our glorious history, the torch
of liberty has been handed down The
spirit Of reverence has kept its flame
bright, while our ancestors stood
guard under its shadow. It is now in
our keeping Will we be faithful to
OR duty or racreaDt to our trust?
Will We quench the torch and fall at
the feet of the Golden Calf in debased
slavery, or will We guard the fame
with a sleepless devotion; and cause
its rays to penetrate every dark cor
ner from the Atlantic to the Rio
Grande?
The commercial spirit has come up
on US. We are developing our resour-
ces at a rate that if maintained, will
endow us with fabulous wealth. Will
We forget and be debauched, or will
We remember and be pure? Once We
measured our wealth by the dollar;
now We measure it by the million

not place one obstacle in its way; but
rather would join with you in praying
and working for the coming of the day
"when nations shall learn war no
more" and "man to man shall broth
ers be-" But if so years of peace can
suffice to lower a nations standards
and debauch a nations morals as the
last half-century has done for the
American people, then surely war IS
not wholly bad that yields such a
record of the valor Of her men and the
heroism OF her women as fhe Civil
War has given to US, and has left be-
sides as a model, the life and charac-
ter of the matchless Lee.

country shall have attained it's destiny

an enlightened citizen of some one OF
our distant provinces, visits this
country and muses. on the ruins that
mark the site of our great metropolis,
may it not be possible for him, as ne
stands on a broken cable of the
Brooklyn bridge, to mediate on the
vices and the vanities Of our national
life and philosophize upon the causes
of our downfall; but, instead, to have
his soul filed with the inspiration of
our greatness and the glory Of our
ideals.
The poets have sung Of this con-
summation; philosophers have taught
US to hope for it; let us dare to live
for it. And each day, as the old sun
rises with new splendor, let US renew
this fervent prayer:

DOLLAR a DAY. PENSIONS.

AS part or their campaign IN the
manufacture of political capital the
Democratic leaders in congress pro-
pose to vote pension of dollar a
day to every veteran of the civil war.
irrespective of his needs or deserts.
1t is something anomalous for
Democratic majority in congress to
vote money for pensions with SO free
hand, but the reason is not far to
seek. They want to take to them
selves the credit of having passed
such bill and throw upon the Repub-
lican majority in the senate or upon
a Republican President the respon-
sibility of defeating it. The Demo
cratic leaders do not expect the bill
to become law, but they do expect
to put the opprobrium of defeating it
