REGISTERS PROTEST
 OVER SUNDAY CONTEST.
Directors of Church Federation Send
 Letter to E. E. Baker.

At a meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Federation of Churches on Wednesday evening the officers were instructed to send the following letter:
 Norwich, Conn, May ', 1913 Mir. Ellsworth E. Baker,
 45 Broadway, Norwich
 Dear Sir: The Directors of the NeF- wich Federation of Churches observe with regret the announcement of a second Sunday concert by the Young Peoples orchestra, of which we un- derstand you tre the leader
 We believe that it is poor policy to invite others to do an illegal thing (See Sec. 1870 of the General Statutes, which provides a penalty for attend ance at such a concert on Sunday)
 We believe that the best sentiment of the community is opposed to this use of the Lords day
 We fear that the holding of Sun day concerts, for profit or otherwise will open the way to other enterprises which must deprive many of their weekly rest-day to the injury of Werkingmen and of the Christian church,
 We would therefore urge upon yeu the desirability of transferring the appointment in question to some week day, believing that such action will

This fabric, after being laced in place, is shrunk by a special preparation, and is then given coat of spar varnish This makes light. taut and strong surface, which is impervious to weather.
 The machine is in many ways a novel and distinctive one. It is the only monoplane driven by a double propeller in the rear The body is also wider in the beam than usual The propellers are tipped with copper to protect them from possible drops of water which might shatter the blades Seats for two passengers are in the extreme front of the machine, which is entirely enclosed excepting this space Only the heads of the passengers pro trude above the body. The machine can be controlled by a lever at the front of each seat.
 The machine is neat in appearance, and as far as figures can tell, is per feet in detail of balance and equip ment. It is planned to experiment carefully with the machine before any extended flight is attempted, to avert any such accident as that which so suddenly terminted the very brief ca reer of the Bullet.

soUATTER ADAMS FINED 5000
CASE APPEALED.

On Friday the case Of E. K. Rob
erson VS.. A. A. Adams for trespass-
ing and tearing down fences, was
heard before Justice Clayton.
Testimony introduced showed the
land in question to be decided land
and a fine of 5000 and costs was
assessed against Adams. The case
was appealed to the district court
and bond to the amount Of $500 fur
nished. The trial Of this case will bt
interesting on account Of the fact
that it involves the questions which
are occupying the attention of farm
ers along the Arkansas the entire
length of the state, viz, the right Of
ownership of island and accreteG
land. A reasonable prediction is thai
the case will remain in court unit
a final decision is made establishing
a settlement in the squatter cases.

PlLING TROUBLES.

Matters at the river bridge are
again delayed, this time on account
of the fact that the piling ordered af.
ter the use of cottonwood was forbid.
den by the commissioners has failed
to come up to specifications. Out Of
two cars which have arrived there
have only been thirty-five piling fit
to be used and out of the third car,
which is enroute and will be here
within few days there will probably
be few large enough for use. These
piling were ordered under stict speci-
fications by one of the local lumber
companies and the fault seems to be
at the other end. This trouble will
be adjusted as soon as possible but
will serve to cause a delay in con-
struction work.

BASE BALL PRACTICE is ON.

A bunch of about fifteen, part of
whom are regulars and part are try
outs who are here at their own ex-
pense, are working out twice a day
at the park. Manager Wilson, who
is working almost day and night to
get things in shape for the opening
which is only two weeks in the fu-
ture, says there is a considerable
amount of talent among the boys who
are here for a try-out and that he is
confident that a fast team will be got
ten together. There still is some
scrap" about the schedule, our man
agement feeling that they have been
double crossed on some of the de-
tails. This matter will probably be
adjusted satisfactorily, however, be-
tween now and May Is, the day on
which the games are to start.
Among those on the grounds may
be seen Fedor, Brown and SEWERS, of
last years team, Pete Merritt, a
home boy, Ewalt, E. Bash and Wild
er, candidates for slab position, Dunn
field and Rumler, catchers, also Shat.
fer, Conboy, Mann, Trumbell and
some others whose names we have
not.
Financial matters are gradually
shaping up although mucL work re.
mains to be done along this line.
