IT is reported that two of Augusta S
well-known and prominent lawyers
one of whom has been a member af the
Legislature. while the other holds the
position of judge, met with what they
thought a mishap one evening last
week while coming home from Bel
grade in an automobile but which
was no mishap at all, only a slight
trouble with the carburetor. and which
could have easily been found in a min
ute, had they known as much about
an auto as they do about law. They
didn't spend much time hunting, how
ever, when the car stopped, but hiked
1t back a mile or SO to a farmhouse
and telephoned into town for another
auto to come to their relief, and to
pass away the time while waiting
they engaged the young people in the
house III game or two with cards.
The supposedly crippled auto of the
lawyers was discovered in the middle
of the road where they had left it, by
another party which left Belgrade lat
or. The driver of the second ear saw
the red light of the stranded car and
found on coming up with it that the
road was so narrow that he could not
get, his car by. therefore he investigat-
ed He found the gasoline running out
of the car. but this was quickly stop
ped by closing a valve, and when he
tried to start the car he found it work
ing all right He then wheeled it out
of the road so that he could pass, and
left for home. 1t is not known at
what time the lawyers were rescued"
but it was far into the night. They
claim, however, that they passed a
most enjoyable evening, and learned
that there are some pretty good card
players IN the rural districts.

Officers Must Have witnesses
 In 'cily Court Judge Foster Severely Scores Slack Practice of Failing to Subpoena Necessary
 Witnesses

Judge Carl Foster tread the riot act" in the city court this morning when two cases came before him in quick succession in each of which the prisoner and the officer flatly contra dicted each other. and the policeman who made the arrest fail to produce any witnesses. His indignation was kindled at the first instance, and he felt constrained to lay down the law when the second case occurred.
 Although he addressed, his remarks to Prosecuting Attorney Alexander Delaney in the first place, he ex- plained that he did not intend them for MT Delaney, who is in no way responsible for the failure of officers to produce witnesses. Judge Foster simply took this means of making his remarks public. He also explained that he did not intend his remarks to apply to any individual officer.
 'I want to have it distinctly under are made, the officers making the arrests must produce witnesses in court if it is possible to do so. Time after time the court is being placed in the false position of deciding case where the officer and the accus- ed flatly contradict each other and there are no witnesses Ito support the officers testimony.
 "Not that I doubt that the officers are telling the truth. On the con-, trary, believe that they are telling the truth, but as matter of good law, if nothing more, they should have corroborative testimony. As it is, it narrows down simply to a question of veracity, between the officer and the accused and it is unfair to the court to force such decisions.
 "It puts the court in a position to be criticised by people who will come into the courtroom, hear case and k then go out on the streets and say "It's no use telling the truth in the city court, if the officer testifies against you. that's all there is to it. ''
 Judge Foster, Capt. Began and Pros ecutor Delaney had a conference af- ter court and talked over the matter. Superintendent Birmingham called the men before him when the afternoon details went on, and gave them thor ough instructions regarding the im- portance of securing witnesses when arrests are made. Superintendent Birmingham told the officers that they must not content themselves with telling witnesses to be present, but must serve subpoenas and assure their presence in court

GROWTH OF METHODISTS.
(New London Day.)

The large Methodist body, that of the north, gained in membership 3D. I16 last year. Of that number 2,934 were probationers. The total. Metho- dist membership in 1911-12 is 3,518, ,099. In Sunday school enro lment the gain was 52,09S, and Methoersts north have now a Sunday school strength, off cers, teachers and scholars, of 3,950, ,936. This Sunday school enrolment, larg- CT by nearly 450,000 than the church membership, is believed to be the high est proportion of any of the large re- ligious bodies. With very few excep- tions, churches have larger member ships than Sunday school enrolment, in the case of the Episcopal church nearly twice as large
 The hnandal value of Methodist churches now aggregate s1S2, ,262, 900. a gain of $2,500000 last year. If par sonages be included, and some prop erty counted that is in mission lands but under Methodist control, the total Methodist property now stands a $216, 115,000. In this estimate hospi tais, orphanages, schools and colleges valued, in the millions, are not includ- ed.

FINDS GEM IN MEAT.
Ansonia Woman Discovers Diamond Worth $25O Embedded in Leg
 of Lamb.

Ansonia, Dec. 14.-Mrs. Andrew Johnson of Shelton purchased yes- terday leg of lamb in Ansonfa, and found in it a diamond, which a jew eler is said to have value at $250. There was nothing unusual looking about it, and it appeared to be just an ordinary leg of lamb, with no hint of the treasure that it contained. The meat was prepared in the usual way and was about to be placed in the stove to cook when the diamond roll ed out.
 To the unskilled eyes of those who looked at the stone, it appeared to be a first class diamond Their sus- picions were confirmed when they all lowed a jeweler to inspect it. He said that he was willing to pay $250 for it. The owners do not wish to part with the romantic stone, not for the present at least.
