TO CHANGE ARMY LAW.-Congress
will take action during the present ses-
sion to correct the law relating 10 tho
army so as 10 retain a place in the line to
which bureau chiefs may go on the eXpi-
ration of their duty as such. At present
II chief Of bureau is not redetailcd he
has no choice but to leave the service, as
the vacancy caused in the line by his ap-
pontment has i'm each rase been filled by
the promotion Of another officer In the
case of the chief of ordnance General
Crozier, who was formerly captain. he
would be retired, il he were eligible :"
retirement. or go out Of the army entirely
II he were not redetailed. His position as
a captain was filled by the promotion OF a
first lieutenant at the time he was made
chief of ordnance with the rank of brigs-
der general.
The same situation prevails in respect
to the Quartermaster General. Commits
sary General. Paymaster General. Judge
Advocate General and others. This was
an oversight, and was not intended at the
time the Law was framed. In the old days
q bureau chief served until he was retired.
When there was a change in the law IL
was intended that officers should serve
for four-yesr terms. on the expiration of
which il would be possible 10 detail an
other officer TO the position. This has
never been done, except In cases where
officers have voluntarily retired or been
forced on the retired list through i'll
health. II has been necessary to redetail

WEST POINT INsPECTIoN,-The an

N'e special board of members of the House

heNes that would be an advantage TO the

pAuROADERS SUBSCRIBING
 TO AID FAMILY OF SHEA. Rrakenoan Killed at New Britain Leaves Widow and Three
 Young Children.

Waterbury, April 1.-The railroad men are taking up collection TOT the family of Cornelius Shea, the Wa terbury brakeman who was run over and fatally hurt at New Britain. SeV- eraI papers are in circulation along the Western Division and the men are contributing literally. Already s1O0 has been collected.
 Shea leaves a wife with three small children, aged 2. and years. At the time of the accident the railroad men informed Mrs. Shea that her hus- band was lying injured in a New Britain hospital and told her they had d pass to take her to his bedside. She was unable to go because one of her children was sick with typhoid fever
 All during the time the brakeman lived, after he had been terribly man. gled by the engine he talked con- tinually about his wife and children. Both his legs had been crushed and one hand cut off. He knew he did not have a chance to live and speak ing to the Rev. John T. Winters, pas tor of St. Mary's Church. in New Britain, he said: "Even if I should any, the way am.'' A few hours la ter he died Everything possible was done at the hospital to aid the injur- ed man, bat he had no chance for life.
 Shea was very popular with the railroad men. He was 30 years of age, and had not been with the New Haven road long. He formerly work ed on the New York Central lines and just before going to work for the New Haven Road was a motorman on the electric lines in this city. He was not a member of the Brotherhood of Trainmen and therefore his family

DIRECT PRIMARIES BENEFICIAL

The direct primary gives the voter an opportunity to express himself di- rectIy. It's advantages has been splen- didly exhibited in the presidential preference primaries recently held in Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Dakota and other states.
 Democrats have been able to vote directly for the nomination of the Democrat of their choice, whether Woodrow Wilson, Champ Clark, Gov ernor Harmon, or another.
 Republicans have been able to vote for the candidate of their choice, whether President Taft, MT. Roose- welt, Senator LaFollette, or somebody else.
 The old method prevails in thls state, where, undoubtedly, there are some voters who prefer Roosevelt to Taft, and otherwise and some voters who prefer Wilson to Clark, or vice versa.
 But whether these voters be Demo- crats or Republicans all they can lo, in the absence of direct primaries, is to elect four, five or dozen men to state convention, where these men will usually do as the bosses please.

New Haven. April 17-An important petition has been presented to the board of Aldermen which will mark the beginning of the campaign to eliminate the sewage from New Haven harbbr and rivers. The petition which is being extensively signed, by busi- ness men and oystermen, is as fol- lows:
 ''That public necessity requires that the city should> cause to be made a survey and layout for the disposal of the sewage in each of the wards of the city and that the sewerage should be disposed of without contaminating the waters in the rivers and harbor Of New Haven.

WOMAN ADVOCATES MORE
 STRINGENT PENALTIES FOR
 DISSIPATION AND N0N-SUPPORT

Waterbury. April 17.-The third days session of the state conference of charities and correction saw an in- creased attendance, yesterday. The morning session was goven over to upbringing. Among the speakers were Josephine Griswold of Hartford, who spoke as follows:
 We believe in the integrity of the family and of keeping the fathers and mothers up to the support of their children. Our society works to this end consistently, keeping the family together if possible and if not insist Ing upon the support of the children, for parents should be encouraged in every way to do this and not allow their children to come into public care. This is strenuous work, but it ought to be done. There is too much ease about this and parents are al- lowed too much liberty of action. We believe deserting fathers and mothers should be locked up and brought back to their families and there should be compulsion in the matter of support. Desertion and non-sup- port should be treated crimes and punished as any other offense. Some one has said that "the home as it ex- ists to-day is not such a satisfactory institution that there should be any fear in regard to it's being changed or broken up," but We believe there is need of conserving the home inter ests. There are plenty of forces at work to disrupt the family, and plen- ty of people who are willing to see homes destroyed. We should realize that no greater calamity could befan our civilization. We are here to de- fend the home and family and to pre- serve all the elements which enter in to the making of good homes and go'od families. We believe in the old fashioned idea of family and home. In light of existing conditions we reach conclusions which may be briefly stated as follows:
 First. That dependent mothers of good character should be assisted in their homes by friendly aid to the ex- tent of being provided with food and clothing for themselves and their children, and that the children should not be taken from them by reason of poverty alone.
 Second. That deserting husbands flies and that laws concerning deser- tion and non-support should be more strenuously enforced.
 Third. That unsuitable homes should be broken up and that chil- dren from such homes should be suit ably cared for, the parents contribut- ing to their support whenever pos sible
 Fourth. That the problems of the tive effort, and to this end Child Helping and Home Associations should be organized in every town in the state to work with town officials to- ward the betterment of homes and the welfare of children.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-04-17

Charles M. Morse, superintendent Of the William l.. Gilbert Home, spoke as follows:
 Under existing laws in Connecticut children who because of neglect, de- sertion, cruel treatment, poverty or other like causes are thrown upon the public for support, are committed to the county homes, boys until l6 ana girls until IS years of age. Between the time when the term expires and age there is no authority having the legal right to direct, guide and ad- wise these children as to their con- duct and their relations with the fam fly with whom they happen to be, and with the community at large.
 There is no necessity of arguing the need of some guiding force. I doubt if there is anyone who would take issue for the need of some such ar rangement. The state considers it a duty to care for these children until they are able to work for themselves.
 Unfortunately the age has been fix ed as the supposed time when they they are allowed to take the future in their own hands, is the most inn questionable age of boys and girls, and is the time of. life when they most easily fall victims to tempta- tions and vices which come in their
  money for years in the effort to make a good citizen, risks the complete ne- gation of it's efforts by neglect at the most critical stage.
 It would seem that the following points are essential to a statute which shall be just and adequate to meet the needs:
 1. Direct care and oversight by the the county homes until boys are l6 and girls are IS years of age.
 2. Provision for guardianship be- tween the above ages and 21.
 8. No support by the state or coun- ty during the period mentioned in @.
 4. No indenture, except in cases of adoption of boys beyond the age of l6 and girls beyond the age of IS.
 5. If for any reason a child IS dJS- charged from the guardianship of the county Or state before the term of commitment expires a guardian shall be appointed to act until the child is 21
 G. Tn cases where no other guardian has been appointed, the state board of charities shall assume the guardian ship of boys between the ages of 16 and 21 and girls between Is and 21.
 Mr. Morse's subject is Guidance and Control of County Home Ch1l- dren."
 Meetings of various committees with their attending discussions were held and papers were read by William R. Gorge, of Freeville, N. r.. on .Fhe H. Pear, of Boston, on Dependent and Neglected Children Thomas s. Weaver, of Hartford, on "Open Air Schools and others.
 The sessions were brought to close last night.

KNIGHTS TEMPlARS
Elaborate Plans For Triennial Con- clave in Denver. August 12
 to IS, 1918.

The thirty-second triennial conclave of the Knights Templars will be held inDenver, Col, Aug. 12 to 15, 1913, and now year and a quarter before the event, committees are at work at the plans for entertainment of the visit ing knights. Fl Jebel Temple, the Masonic structure on the crown of Capitol Hill, has been engaged by Colorado Commandery, No. 1, for the week, where open house will be main- tained, while Colorado Commandery, No. 25, of Denver has engaged the Broadway theatre for the same pur- pose.
 During the conclave competitive drills will be held, nine communicates having already entered and $10,0O0 in prizes will be awarded. Leading manufacturing jewellers of the United States are preparing designs for the prizes which are expected to be the handsomest ever offered in com petitive conclave drill. The drill grounds will have an ample area and will be turf-covered, which will elim- mate dust and make marching easy. The elctrical illuminations at night, will surpass anything heretofore seen in that city.
 Denver is known as the "City of Lights but during the sojourn of the Templars Denver will be a Blaze of Lights each night, the decorative effect softened here and there by color scheme that will be artistic and beautiful.
