 The local committee has completed arrangements for the general confer snce of the Seventh Day Baptist de- nomination, which opens in Westerly next Tuesday and which will continue for one week It is expected that there will be at least five hundred in attend ance a the conference, at which Rev. Samuel H. Davis, president of the con- Terence. will preside. The delegates will be entertained in private homes, where breakfast will be served them but dinner and supper will be served in connection with the conference proper, so arranged as to in the least interfere with the proceedings.
 The commissary committee has se- cured the use of the first floor of the unoccupied brick mill, and it will be utilized as mammoth dining hall Six tables one hundred feet in length will be constructed, and the large room will be tastefully decorated. Dinner and supper will be served here, prepared by young people connected with the church. It is expected that, including the delegates and members of the lo- cal church. fully six hundred will 'be fed at each meal, and that this num- Der will probably be doubled on Fri day, which will be the big day of the conference. The main sessions will be held in Bliven Opera house. the Sev- enth Day Baptist church being used for committee metings, and perhaps departmental sessions of the confer
 Besides delegates from all sections of the United States, several foreign missionaries will attend the confer ence.
 the Pswcatuck lookup Sunday night, after beating and robbing the tempo rary keeper is likened to the Irish mans flea, when you put your finger on him he is not there. It is believed that he is still within the confines of this section of New London and Wash ingtoin counties. as he is reported as being seen in different sections, and when police officers follow the tips they fnd that he has gone elsewhere. Since his escape he had been seen in a corn1eld short distance from the Watch Hill road. where he begged cig- arettes from a young fellow who did not know at the time that the grubber was "Skete' Allen.
 l. lS said that two friends of Allen, bearing small bundles, were seen go- ing into the woods in the direction of White Rock, Monday evening, and that on Tuesday morning one of these friends was seen with a tin pail and bundle, going in the same direction. These instances, coupled with the fact that Allen was seen in that section, gives rise to the suspicion that they were supplying the fugitive with food nd drink, and perhaps cap and coat as when Skete skipped he was minus that part of his wearing appar- eI. It is self-evident that from the start friends of Allen are ssisting him in keeping him ont of the reach of Deputy Sheriff Casey, which makes the work of that officer more difficult than ueual in hunting for a criminal. Still there is hope of the recapture of Allen, and when this is accomplished it Is probable that some of those who have been aiding him to escape arrest will be given opportunity to explain Aeaf Illegal action in a court of jus ,ee.
