Especial to the Evening Farmer.)
Hartford, Feb. 4.-The committee
on Federal Relations Of which Sena-
tor Paddock is chairman has an i'm
portant matter for hearing next Tues
day in the amendment to the federal
constitution providing for an income
tax, which was continued to this ses-
sion from 1909.
The Judiciary committee continues
is new scheme of hearings at the be-
ginning of the session on the big
matters and postponing the evil day
of minor court judgeships, over which
there are numerous and bitter con-
tests to the number Of fifteen or
twenty, among them one especially
productive of acrimony, in the New
Haven court. In several cities where
there are Democratic members Dem
ocrats have been nominated by them
for the local courts.
On Tuesday of next week the Judi
ciary committee will hear those con-
cerned in the measures which re-
moves the $4,000 limit on damages
recoverable in cases Of death through
negligence. This will be the second
hearing.
Wednesday and Thursday the JUDI
ciary committee and the Labor COM
mittee will hold joint hearings on
the workmen's compensation and en-
ployers' liability acts. Representa-
tives of the newly incorporated Man
ufacturers association are to be
present and of various labor organ
iZatiOns.
The first legislative day of the COM
ing week has for its special order
all the county commissionerships on
the House calendar, which includes
all except the reappointment of Com
missioner Vinton- of Tolland, the
speedy favorable action on which in
the Senate on Thursday forecasts the
position of the upper house on these
matters. The minority is preparing
to launch it's heaviest projectiles
against several of the commissioners
who have been nominated for reap
pointment by their county caucuses.

New Haven counties.
A Democratic politician as close to
any to Governor Baldwin is authority

county or the Fairfield county com

al matter in view of his desires for a
change in the method of appoint
ment. The Republican majorities IN
House and Senate will be urged by
party leaders to pass the resolutions
over his veto. j..
Another matter which will doubt
less be taken from the table next
week is the resolution of Mr.. Peck Of
Redding petitioning the President 10
call an extra session of Congress.
With further consideration Leader
Banks is by no means averse to hav-
ing the legislature pass such a reso-
luton, which he had known nothing
about until it's presentation. He has
even intimated that he will be willing
to call it from the table himself and
favor it.

Not the least astonishing feature of

ARCHBISHOP
RYAN SIGNS
CHARITY CHECK
Asks for Pen and Ink When
Letter, Appealing for
Worthy Cause, Is
Read to Him
Aged Prelate Much Strong
er Today and Members Of
Household Believe He Has
Chance to Recover.
Especial from United Press.


Philadelphia, Feb. 4.-Archbishop
Ryan, who has been lowering on the
verge Of death for an entire week,
was reported as much stronger this
morning, and members of his house
hold believe there is a chance for him
to recover. His physicians, however,
are non-committal.
With a deeper understanding Of the
causes and nature Of his illness, they
refrain from holding out any hope
but admit that the improvement
continued and that the aged prelate
seems better and stronger than he
has been at any time since the be-
ginning Of his illness.
The Archbishop had an excellent
night. Late last night he insisted
that all letters and kilograms which
had been received should be read to
him. Among them was a telegram
from Bishop Walsh, of Portland, Me-,
and another from Adolphus Busch,
the st. Louis brewer, who is now in
California. His telegram read:
Everywhere 1 go in California I
hear people praying that you may re-
cover"
When a letter appealing for a
worthy charity was read to him the
Archbishop asked Tor pen and Ink
and g. check blank. Father
Kavanaugh. his secretary, protested,
suggesting that he wait until morning
as the check could not be cashed un-
til then.
NO. replied the sick prelate,
while my check may not be good
until morning, I know that you will
see that it is cashed and the charity
is aided with it. But no one can tell
whether 1 shall be able to sign a
check when morning comes"
After signing the check he dropped
off to sleep and slept steadily for sew
eral hours.

That an expert stenographer took
down the words of Jesus Christ in
Shorthand was one Of the many start
ling facts. laid before the. Chautauqua
>assemblage which gathered at Col
onial hall this morning to hear most
interesting discourse upon ''The New
Testament in the Light of Recent Dis
coveries," by Camden M. Cobern,
professor of the philosophy Of relig-
ion and a noted archaeologist.
Many other astonishing facts. con-
corning the civilization and culture of
the time Of Christ were laid before
the audience by DIR. Cobern, who re-
counted the wonderful discoveries
made in recent years through the
disinterment of papyri, or written
records of the past, from the sites Of
ancient cities.
Through these records, the civiliza-
ton which prevailed at the time Of
Christ is shown to have borne the
most startling resemblance to the
civilization of the present day. The
ancients had their Carnegie who en-
dowed libraries and pensioned col
lege professors; their Rockefeller
who cornered oil; their Seeley who
gave notorious banquets; their femi-
nine fashions with all the modern
aids to the toilette; their easy di-
vorce laws and colonies of divorces,
their labor unions and many other
features which have been repeated in
modern times.
In the main, the words Of Christ
were preserved through the sheer
power of memory, method of trans
mission which is used today with a
great deal Of accuracy by Oriental
at the time of Christ there was a
well developed system of short hand
and many expert strengraphers.
Prof. Cobern himself read in an an
cient papyrus a letter from q man
providing for the sending Of his son 60
a school of shorthand, and offering
the payment Of 1000 drachmes pro-
viding the youth, was taught to use
the system with speed and accuracy
within two years.

REBELS CLEAR WAY
FOR ATTACK ON
JUAREz
Especial from United Press.)

Ell Paso, Feb. At is now consider
ed certain that Juarez will put up on
ly a perfunctory defense when attack
ed. to-day. by the insurgents. The
city was reported quiet, to-day. all Of
the business houses excepting the sa-
dozen nations fly over business estab-
lishments as a signal that the proper
ty is owned by foreigners who will
hold the insurgents responsible for all
damage.
While it was agreed that General
Orozco would attack the city some
time to-day there is no means of tell
ing just when the assault will begin
Orozco was less than 10 miles away
at daylight and was then said to be
only awaiting the arrival of the re-
mainder Of his forces to start his for
ward movement.
While the local forces are expected
to resist for a time the fact that they
are almost without ammunition makes
it certain they will not try to hold out
long, Hope that reinforcemerts would
arrive from the south was abandoned
received word that the officers in
charge Of the Diaz troops at Casas
Grandes had decided that to leave that
place and try to relieve Juarez would
be suicidal because of the number of
insurgents between the two places
who have been under arrest charged
with treason. in Juarez. were given
their freedom by the city officials.
They are now in tAis city in confer
ence with General Abram Gonzales. in
surrecto governor of Chihuahua prov
ince They are being closely watched
by Federal secret service agents.
The United States guard along the
border has been doubled because of the
report that a large quantity of dyna-
mite to be used by the insurgents was
to be smuggled across the border
It was reported, later in the morn
ing, that Orozco had been joined by
the insurgent command of General De
La Blanco. The insurgents are we'll
armed with modern repeating rifles
and have plenty of ammunition They
are also reported to have four rap
id fire guns of the old fashioned pat
tern and four old Howitzers.
The loyal troops in Juarez have TAX
en- up a position on the southern side
of the city but there is little doubt
that after a short resistance for forms
sake they will surrender to OroZco.
