The contest for the presidency was
hotly fought. M. H. Calbeck of Pea
body was also in the field, and Mr..
Wall eventually won out by a major
ity of but 5 votes.
This is Wallis third term of office
and the opponents of the victor made
a hard fight to amend the cOnstitu-
ton so that a third term on the part
of any officer would not be allowable.
but the constitution as amended was
finally laid on the table until the next
annual meeting.
NJ H. Calbeck of Peabody, c. H.
Doyle of Newton, and George A. AL
brecht of OsWego, were chosen as
members of the executive board.
Business was transacted at a meet
ing held this afternoon beginning at
1870 o'clock.

Nothing can be said which will con-
vince the Vopats that there is any like
lihood of Marzyck's having left the Vi
cinity. They fear by day that he is
sxulking about their fields waiting a
favorable opportunity to sweep down
and destroy them and by night they
imagine he is peering in windows and
Drving about their home.
But Sheriff Bradshaw does not share
the suspicion of the Vopats. He says
Marzyck is doing his best to get out OF
the country.

Rumors of Imperial Disaster.
Peking Oct. 19.@The court official
announcement this morning that tele-
graphic communication with HankOW
night caused CONSERVATION throughout
the capital today. The widest rumors
of reverses to the imperial arms
spread like wildfire although no def
mite facts to support them were avail
able. Much significance was attached
to the fact that the government has
refrained from issuing any official an
nouncement of a victory in yesterday s
engagement with the rebels Among
foreigners who may be regarded as i'm
partial observers, it is generally be-
lieved that the situation at Hankow
has not been appreciably improved by
the events of the past "a hours.
Government officials continue to
profess the utmost optimism. They
declare that the severance of tele-
graphic communication for period of
only twelve or eighteen hours over
apprehension. They insist that the
.21 900 troops and military guns which
have left Peking for Hanxow and most
of which are now en- route should be
sufficient to swamp any revolutionary
attack Some of the rumors current
today however, hint at dissatisfaction
in the army.

 Under Charges
Claimed Faber Passed Men in Homeopathic School Un-
 qualified

The semi meeting of the Connecticut Homeopathic Medical As sociation held at the Hotel Glarde, in New Haven, yesterday, was made lively session because of charges pre- ferred against one of it's members. Dr. George A. Faber, of Waterbury.

 Dr. Faber was represented at the hearing by Attorney Alcorn, of New Haven, while Attorney Ierardi appear Townsend of the State Board of Health, was on hand as one of the witnesses in the Faber case, but be- cause of pr. Faber's resignation it is said the testimony of Dr. Townsend will not be made public
 Dr. Faber has been secretary of the Eclectic Medical Association of the State. He had charge of the exami- nation papers and it was alleged, so it was stated by one of the physicians at the meeting, that he had admitted certain men to practice who were not qualified. His action in handling the papers of the candidates to member ship in the Eclectic Association was called to the attention of the griev- ance committee of the Homeopathic Association and the members of that society brought charges against him.
 Dr. Hooker, of Hartford, chairman of the Homeopathic, grievance com mittee, said after the meeting that he would not make public the charges, because Dr. F'aber had resigned from that association.

 BEFORE GRAND JURY

New York, Oct. 1S-In Morris and Lena Cohen, dwellers on New York S East Side, who faced a federal jury today on charges of conspiracy to violate the so-called white slave act, local representatives of the de- partment of justice allege that they have the brains of gang of .traffick- CTS who have for years supplied girls from New York to keepers of disor- derly houses throughout the East.
 Witnesses from Hartford, Albany and Schnectady, New York, Bridge port, Conn.,, and Washington have been summoned to testify against them.
 The specific charge is based upon the alleged shipment of two girls from New York to Hartford on October 5. Raids and indictments followed speed fly and the case was placed ahead on the calendar upon motion of the pros ecution. The taking of testimony will continue for several days, it is be- heved. Lena Cohen, one of the de- fendants, has already pleaded guilty to a charge of violating the interstate law
