Though the verdict that freed Bells
after a trial lasting more than q.
month was silent on the question OF

sustained the blood ritual charge.
The Jurors found Bells to be not
guilty OF the murder of Yushinsky.
but they found that the boys body
bore ~ wounds and that fve glasses
Of blood were drawn from them. They
also found that the murder was COM.
mitted at the zaileR works. Anti-Jew-
ish agitators declared that these twu
findings. sustained the blood. ritual
charge. because the murderers would
have inflicted 30 manv small wounds
and drawn 30 much blood only az q
religious rite. They also assert that
the second part Of the jury's finding
holsters the ritual charge. the zaileR
works being the brickyard where
Bells worked and where none but
Jews was employed.

Professor Bailey Advocates Dances in Paris epUdiates Idea Of Enforcing Religious
 Observance bY Law.

Waterbury. forty y-seFenth an- nual meeting Of the General Meeting 0f the Congregational Conference of Connecticut came to a close here with the adoption of number of resolu- ti0ns and an address on The Church and the Community" by Professor William B. Bailey of Tale University. The conference took decided stand upon the questions or Sunday obserY- ance and eugenic marriages. The delegates unanimously adopted a reso- luiion repudiating the idea of enforc- ing religious observance by law but called upon the state to protect the peace of the day and more effectively to protect the people from the com merciaiism Of Sunday by unnecessary labor and business, professional games and entertainments.e
 Resolution on Eupenies.
 The resolution adopted on the mar riage question follows This confer ence considers that the duty of pro noting by moral influence the purity of the family and welfare of the home deyolves in an especial manner upon the church. Therefore, this confer enee will look with favor upon legis- lation forbidding the issue of mar riage licenses to men not provided with adequate medical certification of freedom from communica dis eases Other resolutions adopted put the conference on record as being in favor of a state farm for drunkards, the limitation Of saloons to one for 1.000 people and the repeal of the Sunday licenses for summer hotels. Professor Bailey pointed out the so- ciaI shortcomings of the church and urged the more extensive use Of church property for the benefit of the community. He advocates the use of parish houses for dances and the for nation of clubs for girls and boys Of the neighb0fh06d.

4 Curious Suit.

R CurlouS outt.
 Winsted. Considerable interest at. taches to the trial in this city of the damage suit against Dr. r. s. Dennis of Norfolk, because Of the death of the Koslick boy in that town. The boy was playing in the bushes beside the highway and ran out into the road as the machine was passing. The chauffeur had gone by the spot be- fore the child emerged, and it was the rear wheel or the rear mudguard that he ran against. Coroner Her man. who investigated the affair at the time. rendered his decision that the blame did not rest at ali with the automobile, and said that, if there was any outside responsibility, 1t be- lonPed rather to the town for let ting the bushes grow beside a tray eled way. Notwithstanding this situ- ation, something has induced the boys father to bring the suit, and there are interesting reports that the litigation has been more or less in- spred by certain elements in Nor folk social fife or ambitious to be in that life. more seriously concerned over other troubles than over this dis aster which has been such . grief to Dr Dennis and his family.
