msnslaughter in connection with the death
OF William Heath, painter, of Dalton, y.
H, who was shot on September II last,
while ~ work in Mrs. Dodge's home at
Lunenburg. Neatly dressed In sombre

verdict was returned. Then she sank back
in her seat between her daughter, Mrs.
Ida Bell who has been her constant COM
panion during the trial, and one Of her at
torneys, Harry Blodgett.
The imposing Of sentence in the case was
deferred until next Monday, in order 70

confined IN the state prison for life the
maximum, or Imprisonment Of not less than
one year or by fine not exceeding 81 900.

Henry L. Stimson, the new Secretary OF
War, received scores of kilograms at his
offices, in Liberty street, yesterday Among
them were cordial messages from Theodore
Roosevelt, Secretary MacVeagh and former
Secretary Garfield.
II do not know that Colonel Roosevelt's
opinion was asked as to my appointment"
said Mr.. Stimson. but I DO know that he
expressed an emphatic opinion 10 me to-
day"
Mr.. Stimson said that he could not pose
as an expert on war. but he expected to
be able TO pick up the details Of the War
Department without any trouble. "In the
days when Senator Root was Secretary"
he said, Il used TO try 10 keep as we'll
posted on the affairs Of the department as
an outsider who was a personal friend
could. otherwise I am not an expert Ny
only school in fighting was the national
guard. I served nine years in Troop A. ris-
ing from private to first Lieutenant"
His acquaintance with President Taft,
Mr. Stimson said, dated back to the time
that he was a student al Yale.
The new Secretary said he could not dis
cuss what the President might want him TO
do Really, intended 10 stay right here

SYNOD
For West Virginia May Be
Formed by the Lutheran
Church.

At the meeting of the Lutheran
Synod OF Maryland which will be held
next week at Taneytown, Md, there
will be taken under consideration
the question of forming Lutheran
Synod in West virlinia. There is at
present quite a large circle of Luth-
eran churches in West Virginia but
they are members OF three different
synods.
The Wheeling church and others
in the northern part of the state are
members of synod composed mostly
of Pennsylvania churches and the
Bluefeld church and others in the
southern portion of the state are mem-
bers of the Virginia Synod.
Now it is proposed that all of these
churches, probably more than hun
dred in number, be made members OF
one synod, which would be composed
only of West Virginia churches with
the possible addition OF the Cumber-
land, Md, church.
! The Lutheran congregation in Park
ersburg is growing and it Is expect
ed that with certain aid which will
be likely received from the synod the
mission here will have its own church
building within the near future.
