 CONVENTION.

Chicago, June 13-since his arrival here, Wm. -J.. Barnes Jr., the leader of the N. Y. Republican delegation, has personally Interviewed every Taft del- egation. leader on the grounds. He has collected from them list of the delegates signed by each man, show ing that, 1t was his intention to vote for the Presidents renomination. He has also been in touch with the unin- structed delegates and has sent word to President Taft that he will have a clear working majority of the con- vention when 1t meets.
 Barnes has also been working on the uninstructed He. insisted. today, for Taft. According to Barnes, any attempt by Roosevelt forces to take the convention by storm will rebound on their own heads.
 Such talk is follisn," he said, to- day. There is Republican party. party. The men in it's ranks are not thugs. They believe in the orderly conduct of the affairs of life and even among the instructed Roosevelt del- egateS are many men who would be the first to resent force or an att tempt to rule by resorting to it. If the Roosevelt forces try anything of that kind, they will thwart their own cauSe.''
 The departure of Secretary Nagel, for Missouri, just as the national com mittee was about. to take up consider ation of the contests from that State, gave rise to much comment, today. Governor Hadley declared that the cabinet official was afraid to face the music. Last night. he formally chal- lenged him to stay here and go into the committee and go on record in the state contests. But Nagel re- fused, declaring he had no desire to split the party Although Hadley in- sisted that Nagel iran away to avoid a direct issue, friends of the secretary say he left in order to try and aid the Taft forces. Before go- ing he had a long talk with the Taft leaders on the national committee.

REV. J. C. L|NSLEY CHOSEN BISHOP

 FORD
BISHOP BREWSTER FIXED AT $4,OOO A YEAR.

Hartford, June 13-After thirteer
 ballots an eight hour deadlock in tht | Connecticut Diocesan Convention wal
 broken last night, and Rev. Johr
 Chauncey Linsley. rector of Trinit, l church, Torrington, was elected Sui. fragan Bishop of the Connecticut Epis. ing a cathedral church will go over
 until next years convention.
 Beginning with the fifth ballot the
 race narrowed down to Rev. MT. Lins- ley, Torrington; Rev. G. T. Linsley Boston. the other candidates receiv- ing only scattering votes. The twelfth ballot showed Linsley, Torrington, 48: Linsley. Hartford, 26; Gardner 25. The thirteenth ballot and last resulted as follows: Linsley, Torrington, 7s; Lins- ley, Hartford. g; Gardner 13.
 Salary $4,OOO Year.
 Dr. James Goodwin offered a reso- lution providing for an assessment of one per cent on the parishes to pro- vide for the salary of the suffragan bishop. Bishop Brewster offered to give $1,000 of his salry toward that of his assistant but the convention de- mended that the salary of the suffra- gan bishop be fixed at $4,000 a year. The report of the social service commission was made by T. E. Tur- ner of this city. Some opposition de- veloped to the clause which requests ed to 1000. Judge A. Heaton Robert son of New Haven said laws could never be enforced which are not up to the moral sphere of the community. He referred to that part of the re- port favoring the founding of a home e. I> xSv,ep hot institution would be "a home for bums.'.
 The report was adopted, the con- vention finding itself in general sym pathy with the spirit of the various recommenda tions which it contained.
 The report touched on Sunday leg islation and says: 'Tt seems to your commission that the only logical so- >lution of what is a very serious prob lem in modern civilized life, will consist in the adoption and enforce ment of laws which shall make it ini- possible for anybody to work for gain or hire more than six days in the week. The enactment of such a regulation would unquestionably disturb present social arrangements very seriously. It would probably involve the holding of many more church services per week than are now held; but it would secure day of rest for most of those who cannot give their best service to the world without 1t. The probable loss of this day of rest Is the most menacinE feature of the Sunday prob- lem. The question of Sunday amuse- .ments, your commission regard as wholly subordinate and unimportant as compared with the question Of Sunday labor. Until, therefore, the law can be changed broadly sosas to insure one days rest in seven for all, your commission sees no advantage in changing in detail the present so-call- ed Sunday Jaws.'
 Regarding tenement house legisla- tion the report says that the present laws amply provide for the correc- ton of tenement house abuses. In- quiry has brought to light the fact that in many quarters of the state no serious or adequate attempt has been made to put the law in execu-

 Miss Stanton's charges are expected at the next meeting of the police board, Saturday evening. They grew out of dog fight last Friday in which the contestants were owned by the Corrigan and Stanton families, neigh bors in Arch street.
 Miss Stanton claims the officer handled her roughly. The dog light led to an encounter between Miss Stanton's brother and Corrigan, and when the latter had pushed him aside. Miss Stanton's mother and she rush. ed to the scene. Miss Stanton wants to the matter Corrigan is member of the traffic squad with an excel lent record He is confident his con- duct will bear the closest scrutiny.

 For $1,OOO License Fee.
 With regard to liquor legislation the report says: 'eYour commission be- Heves that it lies properly within the duty of all church people actively to liminary measure, they may we'll ad- vocate the enactment of the general assembly of law that will limit the number of saloons to not exceeding one for each one thousand of the population, with a minimum license fee of $1,O00.
 "Intemperance plays an appaulling sease, crime and pauperism. In ap- proximately fifty per cent of the cases of which the causes are known ad- mftted to our state insane hospitals, alcoholic excess is either directly or indirectly an important factor, and the proportion of such cases Is yearly increasing. Of the persons committed to our ails each year, about forty per cent have been habitually intern perate. and sixty per cent moderate drinkers As to pauperism, exact fig ures are not obtainable but undoubt- edly intemperance is the predomi- nant cause.''
 
 report says: we are aware that prostitution prevails to an alarming extent in the state of Connecticut. This evil aims at the very founda- tions of our social life and must be dealt with in firm manner.
 Police Matrons Needed.

In this connec- ton we beg to emphaBize the great need in every city of an efficient po- lice matron, as well aS q woman pro- bation officer. We believe that wom- en and particularly young girls and court unless accompanied by some woman whose duty it shall be to pro- tect these women and children from the curious and often times vulgar frequenters of these court proceed ings. .l: =. be enacted prohibiting the sale or use of liquor in public dance halls and providing that no license shall be is- sued for the sale of liquor in public dance halls or in any saloons opening into such a dance hail."
 In conclusion the report says:
 we again strenuously urge church. men to unite themselves into social service committees in the various par istes in this state. that such commit tees in turn affiliate themselves with similar committees of other churches, Protestant or Catholic, in the same community, to study not only the gen. eral social needs of the state, but the specific social needs of each commu- nity; and that this concerted inter denominational influence be brought to bear upon public sentiment and in particular upon the ones chosen in each community to represent it in the law making body of the state.''

Paris, June 13.-That the battle ship Saint Louis was not to blame was the report, today. of the special commission appointed by the navy department to investigate the sinking of the submarine vandemiaire, which went down. last Saturday, with 26 officers and men, in collision with the Saint Louis off Cherbourg.
 The commission reported that the swift currents evidently had carried away the Vendemiaire and said that any attempt to recover her and the bodies of the officers and crew would doubtless be useless.

Poultry Pride.

Rarely do You find a business man
who does not feel a justifiable pride
in his business, and he talks it. ,In
travelling, when chance throws you
with a stranger, he is not long tell
ing you he is q manufacturer, q mil
Ter, a lumberman, horseman,
cattleman, or whatever his speciality
may be. He is proud Of his achieve
ments; so with your poultry: feel
it and talk it. Put forth your best
efforts; have a high aim, and work
up to it. Decide what strain you
want, just how you want your mark
ings, what size you want, and how
many eggs 70 uwant; then mate,
cross, care and feed to that end.
Then prove your success by competi-
'tion with other poultrymen. If you
score perfect marks, or even almost
perfect, announce your success and
let your friends know of it, and they
will either rejoice with you or envy
you. In either case you will have
done good work, for they will imi-
tate you, which Is in itself sincerest
nattery, and they, too, will be step
ping upward.
AS | said, talk your poultry, show
your poultry, and If you feel enthusi-
astic over your success, express it,
and greater will grow your love for
your birds and greater will be the
demand for your pets.-I. b. Royse,
in Poultry Success.
