Efforts to bring to an early vote the
clayton contempt bill. Both measures,
reported by the chairman OF the House
Judiciary Committee, have the indorss-

President Sampel Gompers and Secre-
tary Frank Morrison, OF the American
Federation Of Labor occupied seats in
the Speakers gallery at the House

junction bill yesterday and last night.
Cheers from the floor and the galleries

Republican regulars voted against the
measure, which Is designed to curtail

SMITH DEPLORES TENDENCY TO IGNORE
 THEOLOGY JUST NOW

The second days session of the third annual conference of alumni ana ministers of Connecticut at the Yale Divinity school yesterday afternoon was marked by a scholarly lecture by Professor Gerald B. Smith, of the University of Chicago on Modern Ethics and Theological Reconstruc- tion," the particular topic of which was "The Discrediting of Ecclesiasti cal Ethics"
 He dwelt upon the secularization If the church in the present age, as op- posed to the medieval ecclesiastclsm which aimed to regulate the morals as we'll as the theology of church ad herents. Modern scholarship as we'll as modern ethics had, in his opinion, absorbed this democracy to such an extent that there is now too great 8 tendency to ignore the theological entirely in favor of the scientific.
 At the meeting of the alumni of the Divinity school in Lampson Iyceum, the following officers were elected for 1912-1913: President, Rev. H. c. Mererve, of Danbury; vice president, Quincy Blakeslee, of Farm ington; secretary and treasurer, Ray mond G. Clapp. of Stafford Springs. Dean Brown in addressing the stu dents outlined the four departments of study now offered by the Divinity school and told the alumni they should cooperate in three ways: 1. By training some of their finest men for the ministry; 2. By sending those men to Yale; 3. By treating the young grads well when they come out.

MAYOR ON CHARTER FORMS.

The April number of The American City, just published, contains among other interesting features an article on "The Relation of Charter Forms to Municipal Improvements"
 The article contains a statement by Mayor Wilson of this city, as follows: 'The city of Bridgeport passed into the 100000 class at the last census. It has grand list of $9S, 100000 and its budget is a little under 5000, 900, but it has continued to conduct it's af- fairs along lines laid down a genera tion ago when the city was small. It is the declared purpose of the pres ent administration to put the busi- ness of the city upon modern busi- ness basis:
 ''As first step in the introduction of economies a Board of Contract and Supply has been established to take charge O. the purchase and distribu- tion of supplies.
 "A Committee of Audit has also been appointed, and endowed with full power to investigate and charged with responsibility for the installa- tion of a uniform system of accounts for the city. The appropriation for this committee is $20,000."

which had as many as IT weeks to run. He called a meeting of the members and the majority in each case voted to disband the club. As a usual thing the suits sell for s35, which amount is paid at the rate of thing 75 or 30 members in each club and every week when the members have paid in their money a drawing
 is held. The one whose number is drawn out gets a suit for the amount he has paid in. The first man gets a suit for $1 and so on up the scale. Of the probable 30 members, 46 will pay will have the suits for amounts less than that. No one pays more than $35. It is the same way with the diamond clubs and the watch clubs. The diamonds usually cost $35 and the watches $15 Or $2O. The weekly drawings are made every week.
 Within the last 10 days or so it is understood that two men who have been running from six to eight suit clubs each have closed up their clubs, while 1t is reported that several oth- CTS are arranging to do the same thing. At a meeting of the club mem bers the situation is explained and when it is shown that it will be for the best interests of all concerned if the clubs are closed, the members us- ually vote in favor of closing. In stead of the drawings being held ev- cry week then, all the drawings are made at once. For instance, if a club has 10 weeks more to run, 10 drawings are made in quick succession, closing the club out.
 Similar action was taken in New Haven some time ago and the break ing up of the clubs in New Haven, it is said, was brought about by mem bers of the Business Mems Associa- tion. who felt that the clubs were in turing legitimate trade and protested.
 It is said there are about 80 clubs in Waterbury. or were up to a short time ago. Taking into that there are from 75 to 30 members in each club. it will be seen that the clubs every week re- cefve a very large sum. A great figure, ought to come to their stores. but it does not, hence the dissatisfac- ton with the scheme
 President P. B. F. Wallace of the Business Mems Associa- ton said this morning that the mat ter had been brought to his attention once in an informal way, but had never been discussed before the asso- ciation
 A man interested in the tailoring business said he heard that detectives had been in town looking up the mat ter. He said it might be the state police or it might be the government.
 There had been some talk, he said that the proprietors of the clubs had used the mails for the purpose of car rying on their suit clubs and if suf1i- cient evidence could be found against any of them, federal prosecution for misusing the mails might be brought.

Waterbury, April 17.-Do the state police intend to close up all the suit clubs, diamond clubs and watch clubs In town? Or has the federal govern ment been making an investigation. Some of the pr'oprietors have been asking themselves these questions lately and have decided that it would be much better for them to be on the outside looking in, instead of vice ver- sa, and it is rumored quite generally about town that detectives have been here looking up the matter.

New Haven, April 17-Because of ed in the contract between the city and tbe New Haven hospital authori- ties is inadequate to meet the expense demands involved in the erection of the contemplated isolation hospital on the grounds of the city hospital, the Joint isolation hospital commit tee has undertaken to raise the sum of $60,OOO to meet the $136,000 cost of the new building. It is confidently believed by the six members of the committee that the money can cas- fly be raised by private subscriptions and the work of collecting the $60,- 900 has already been undertaken by the committee under the direct charge of Attorney Harry G.

TAX DELINQUENT
 NOT A CRIMINAL Judge Wolfe Holds Failure to Pay is Not Made Crime
 by Statute

New Haven, April 17.-Passing judgment on the appeal of Clifton Hall of wallingford from the order of the borough court that he be com
 nftted to jail until his personal tax and costs be paid. as a result of his arrogt for failure to pay the tax, JudRe Wolfe yesterday afternoon handed down a decision in the com mon pleas court that may anect the method of procedure in the efforts to collect the personal tax from de- linquents hereafter. Judge Wolfe de- oldes that "the neglect and failure to pay a personal tax is not criminal ofense under the statute"
 The decision holds that the form which is generally followed, and which has been ip the. nature of a criminal prosecution, is not a proper ono to follow, and if this is affirmed by the supreme court, to which Judge Wolfe recommends that an appeal be taken to determine the thing on the highest authority as soon as possible, it will mean that the action against offenders hereafter will have to fol- low q different method. In his find- ing. in part. he says:
 ''The state evidently intended to furnish a method by which the de- linquent taxpayer could be summar- ily dealt with, and therefore created SQGClal SldLuIOIy pIOCccOln6. On- der it the delinquent, upon complaint of the prosecuting officer, can be ar rested and produced before the court and in case he cannot give a proper or sufficient reason why the tax has not been paid, may be committed to jail to work out the amount of the tax and costs, as well as his board. In nearly all respects the statute is criminal in form.
 "It was not the aim and object of the statute. however, in my judg- ment to depart from the settled pol icy of state in the past and, by this act, make it a criminal offense to neglect or refuse to pay a personal tax
 And another significant portion of the act, as indicating the end and ob- ject of the law, Is the fact that not only is the delinquent committed to jail, required to pay the amount of the tax with the costs, but he is fur thermore required to pay, either in money or in work. for his board dur ing the term of his commitment, a feature which is wholly foreign to the criminal law"
 The appeal being made to the crim- fnal side of the common pleas court and the prosecution being under the criminal form the motion of Hall to strike the case from the docket was granted.

FACTORY THIEF
 TRAPPED WITH GOODS IN vAL|SE

Waterbury, April 17-George Brown of this city went up to Torrington a few weeks ago and obtained employ ment in the factory of the Union Hardware Company. He came down to Waterbury recently with a dress suit case filled with carpenters tools, there being several chisels. screw Capt. Dodds and Detective Sergeant Keegan, and was taken to Torring ton for trial. When arrested Brown had a policeman's billy in his hip pocket
 The man had been around to sev- eral stores and pawn-shops endeavor- ing to dispose Of the articles, but he did not find a purchaser. He was down on South Main Street when the detectives nabbed him and walked him to the Police Station. Brown is a carpenter by trade, and the po- lice say he lives at A Hill Street.
 It Is said that the Union Hardware Company and other Torrington fac tories have been losing hundreds of dollars worth of finished work for several months past, and that there seems to be an organized gang of thieves who make it their business to take manufactured goods from the factories. Brown, 1t is said by the police, is suspected of being a stool pigeon.
 The factory thieves steal the arti- cles and pass them over to outsiders, the stuff. Brown told Capt Dodds that he had purchased the articles he had with him this morning, saying he gave $1.25 for them, paying the money to a man whose name he didn't know.
