me Easter OF century Ago.
1t Is not altogether the effect of dis
lance that makes us suppose there was
more of the Easter spirit in the OBJ
servance of this sacred festival of
spring a century ago. The stately
ladies and gentlemen who attended the
service at old st. Paul's came from
nearby homes which had their own
lawns and gardens just turning green
Their carriages passed under trees
whose buds were swelling with the
vernal impulse. and one may fancy
that the children who focked through
the church doors carried in their fists
the first tulips from the gardens and
the first stray dandelions from the
wayside. The Easter season in that
1vergrOwn village the Gotham Of
century ago, had Its own allegOry Of
the resurrection Of nature to point the
way back to the profounder event Of
which 1t was the celebration. 1t Is
only in the bluer sky, the kindlier air
and In the self revelations Of such
gagFant plots of green as that which
IT'LL surrounds St Paul's that the
,hurchgoer of our time has more than
the evidence of his almanac that it is
the resurrection and not the birth Of
the Man of Galilee which he cOmmem-
Jrates. The northward march OF pop
ulation has raised other and more i'm
posing edifices Of worship than the
ancient pile at Broadway and Fulton
street, but none is so rich in memories
or has so good warrant to be the

Grand President Geos pointed out that the tide of German emigration was no longer cemlng this way, and as a con sequence there was narrowing field from which to recruit new members to perpetuats the orCler This was more particularly true because the young HefInan Americans were not joining, principally because the ritual of the meetings was conducted in the Ger man language. and they were not fa

It was his i6ea that the order would have to meet these conditions by providing that lodges could be established both for the men and the women, where the ritual should be in English.

NORWICH TOWH
Rev. E. H. Smith Writes That Success of New Chinese Republic Seems As sured-Chowder for Members of Sewing Club.

In a letter written February s, from Focchow, China, and received here Thursday, March 21, Rev. E. II. Smith says; We can hardly recognize the old China of six months ago. The republic seems to be an assured sue cess. In spite of the tricks and plots of the Manchu leaders, the republi- can leaders have gone quietly on their way. They knew what they wanted and set about getting it in the most direct way. However 1t may be in other places, it is a long, long time since this province had such a firm, efficient government.
 '@The truth Is the nation has shown most remarkable restraint through these months of revolution. Not only have the foreigners been protected and treated with every consideration. in fact, we have been made to feel that we were the guests of honor, that they felt a real debt of gratitude to us. The confidence and affection shown make uE realize what we have been told many times, that the old suspi- ciol and hatred of the foreigners was instigated and cultivated by the Man chu rulers who feared all innovations and progress. It becomes pretty evil dent who were the real supporters of BoXerism.
 To-day the old regime is gone. In the place of the old obstruction gov ernment the new temples are beinG made ever into guild halls to prevent them from being confscated by the government. Large numbers of the people who lave made their living by making incense and idol paper are to- day out of employment Having lost lost confidence in the old. this great people are now ready 10 accept the best that can be found, whether it be in form of government, social customs or religion.

CIVIL SUPERIOR COURT.
Suit for $5,o0o Against Town of Water
 ford-Verdiot for One Cent.

When the superior court was ready to hear tho suit of William Booth, Jr., Vs. the town of Waterford it was dis covered that two attorneys for the town of Waterford each had a brother on the jury.
 Messrs. Avery and Gallup were ex- cused from hearing the case and other jurors were substituted for them. When this was done it was found that the panel had been narrowed down so that but one extra juror remained.
 Booth sues the town of Waterford for $5,000. He claims that one night he stumbled over a stump in the road and fell with much force, receiving se- we're and lasting injuries. The suit is based on alleged neglect on the part of the town in properly maintaining the highway.
 The town denies that it was neglect ful in caring for the highway. The road was muddy at the time, following a heavy rain, and it is claimed that the road could not be kept in shape under the circumstances.
 The case was not finished and goes over until Tuesday, as there is short calendar business today.
 Damages for the New Haven road to the extent of one cent were awarded by the jury in the case of the New Haven road vs. Louis Celia, which has been on trial, and was ended Wednes- day afternoon. Judge Shumway in charging the jury told them that it was simply for them to decide whether the property in question was located with in the New Haven roads right of way l or not, and he said that if the jury SC decided judgment for the plaintiff should be directed if only for one cent which was the iury's verdict

IMPROVEMENT OF
 NEW LONDON HARBoR. Money Available is Not Sufficient New Soundings and Estimates.
Special to The Bulletin.


 Washington, March 20-The inn provement of Shaws cove as part of the general New London harbor pro- ject, was assigned for hearing yes terday before the Board of River and Harbor Improvements. This matter was referred to them as the law pro- vides such cases may be by a resolu- lion of the river and harbor committee. Representa- tive Higgins appeared be- fore the board and learned that the further investigation by Captain Wal dron, the district officer, located at New London had not been completed and at Mr. Higgins request the hearing was postponed until the local tnvesti- gation was complete.
 Twelve thousand dollars is now available for this work and has been authorized and appropriated by con gress, but it was found after adver- tisement had been made for bids for the necessary dredging that this was not sufficient The Chief of Engineers and the river and harbOr committee will probably follow the board in their recommendation, which will, to quite an extent, be controlled by the dis trict officer who is making now sound ings and estimates.
 The Board of River and Harbor I'm IroVCnents have also reported in favor of the Mystic river project and Gen eral Bixby, chief of engineers will soon report to congress that the appropria- tiOn should be made. Representative Higgins and former Commissioner B. F. Williams, of Mystic appeared be- fore the board sometime ago and their arguments convinced the board of the desirability and feasibility of the i'm provement which will be taken up by congress-

Resolutions of Respect.

At special meeting of the Glass or 1912 of the Norwich Free Academy held Monday March 18th, 1912 to take action on the death of our late class mate. Clarence Geer, the following resolutions were adopted.
 It is with the deepest sorrow that our class responds for the first time to the inevitable call of the Almighty God in taking from our midst a class mate, Clarence Geer whose accidental death occurred March 17th, 1912. Our departed classmate had a quiet and retiring disposition, behind which was the faculty of easily making and retaining friends, and his thoughtful ness of the feelings of others was such that he could not offend.
 We extend our sincere sympathy to his family for the terrible loss they have suffered. and we trust that in their remembrance of his many kind acts they will find some comfort and consolation. We join with his family in a feryent prayer that his soul rest in peace.
 u is our wish that these resolutions be sent to hls family and that a rec ord of our actions be made in the Journal of our class and to the press. (Signed)

INVESTIGATION INTO 6. Y. WRECK
Flagman Was Out and Seen But Brakes Failed to Work Royce LOoms Resting Quietly at Hospital After Rally ing From Operation

The wires along the track were torn down by the wreck, so that communi- cation was cut off until repair men arrived. Though 1t was long dis tence for the ambulance to go it ar rived within an hour after being call ed.
 The section where the accident hap pened is one of the best on the line. The track was not torn up, but the line was blocked by the derailed cars until 9.45 Wednesday night, after which the trains were running during the night and on Thursday. The damaged engine was not put out of commission and did much work in opening the line. Engineer McNamara received injuries to his hand and knee, but they are not serious.
 It was reported by Dr. Kimban on Thursday evening that Royce Loomis was resting quietly at the Backus hos pital. He rallied from the anesthetic early Thursday morning and has since been resting easily. Whether the fracture at the base of the brain, which is almost always fatal, will prove so this time cannot be told at present. It will require two or three days to determine whether he is go ing to get well or not.

It was reported on Thursday that there was an investigation held to determine who was responsible for the Central Vermont train wreck at Mur- phys crossing in Franklin on We'd nesday afternoon. Flagman Wheeler of the first freight. which was under 'charge of Engineer Morgan and Con ductor Ennis. had gone back to flag any trains southbound, and it is un- derstood that while he had not gone great distance he was seen by the engineer of the special freight, Engi- neer McNamara and Conductor Cook, but vixen an attempt was made to ap- ply the air brakes they failed to work and the second freight crashed into the one taking the siding with terri tic force.
 The c2boose which was demolished was long, new one, and this was frightfully wrecked, and the empty coal car in front of it was stood on end 30 feet in the air. Hanging from the top end was the coat of Royce Loomis, which would indicate that he had been thrown into the air with the car, probably as he was leaving the caboose and that his coat catching he fell out of it to the ground.

THE POLITICAL ISSUE
 
Subject of Address Before Socialists
 by c. H, Curtiss of WilIimantic.

Local Norwich, socialist party. at ifs meeting Thursday evening in the Stead building. heard 9 particularly interesting address by Attorney Charles H. Curtiss of Willimantic upon The Political Issue of the Day Albert Boardman was chairman of the meet ing and introduced the speaker.
 Mir. Curtiss said that while there were about 2,500 different issues, the trust was the greatest issue of the day and for it both Hearst, Taft and Roosevelt had proposed remedies. One of the good things about the trust is that it has demonstrated economy of maHufacture through specializing in the manufacture of goods at different places. Roosevelt calls those trusts good that contribute to the campaign fund. Hearst advocates government control but this is impossible, be- causes trusts are mightier than the government Back to competition is Taft's remedy. but back to small bus mess is impossible. The trusts are forcing the people to think how they can gain control and so gain for them selves the advantages Ow lower costs of production. The real victory of the working class will be by deciding by the ballot to form one trust of the pcOp4e tt COulIOl all industry, ana the real amelioration of the condition of the workers will come when economic conditions force the people to see this necessity.
 The recall of judges and judges de- cisions, sai1 MT. Curtiss, would be a good thing under some conditions, but wrong under present conditions. Mon ey would win as it does now. he de- Clareu.
 Hearst says that when a company can fix the price of a necessity, then the government must control the price in the interests of the people. Com bination makes it possible to produce at less cost. but at the present time it does not mean lower prices to the consumer. On the contrary, it is worked to control prices and the result is a higher price, The conclusion is that the only way to benefit by the good that a trust can do is for the government to own the trust.
 The meeting of the local voted to continue the voluntary contributions for the benefit of the Lawrence strik- CTS, although at the last meeting these contributions were discontinued. But changed conditions at Lawrence were 3dduced as the reason for resuming the contributions. At the next meet ing of the Norwich local it will elect it's officers for six months.
