MISSIONARIES BUSY PROSELYTlzING IN WEST END
 REPORT SEVERAL. CONVERTS

Mormonism has been creeping into Bridgeport where Disciples of the Prophet have for some time past been proselytizing in the West End, and while no church has yet been esta.b- 1ished, converts have been secured and aSsemblages on Howard avenue are of frequent occurrence.
 At least two Smooth-tongued ora tors are known to have been domiciled here and though their persistence in doing missionary work, and dfstribut- ing litera ture designed to secure re- cruits to the faith have been such as to compel the young matrons of HOW ard, Maplewood and Linwood avenues to first peep from upper windows be- fore answering front door bells, no complaints have as yet been made to the police.
 It was yesterday reported to The Farmer that the advent of Mormonism here had secured a. strong foo othold which fact was later confirmed when the wife of a we'll known young prop erty owner of Howard avenue con sented to tell of her experiences with those claiming to be missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and followers of the late Joseph Smith. Brigham Young and others of fame in the annals of the church in Utah. Her statements are supported both by pamphlets left in high police officials who have also. been aware of the coming to this city of the band.
 It was said that for some time past two young, well-dresSed and dashingi missionaries have been. in the habit of persistently calling during the morning and early afternoon at the houses of their prospective converts. At first the door would be opened and the 'tapostle'' would step in and in-

 LARGE MANSION

London. May 9-"General" 1Ira ,frlora Drummond, the militant suffra- gette leader. who collapsed twice in Bow street police court during yester- days conspiracy proceedings against the principal officers of the vvomen's Social and Political Union, is today very i'll from the effect of her priva- tions during her hunger strike while under remand, and the physician in attendance has advised her to un- dergo ain operation.
 The anxiety of the British authorl- ties over the threat of the miiitant suffragettes to eclipse their destruc- tive acts of the past week was alIayed today when Minister Asquith and First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Spencer Churchill accompanied by their wives, left Waterloo Station on the Southwestern railroad to proceed to the coast in order to join the ad- nliralty- yacht Enchantress, on which they are to make an extended cruise in the Mediterranean.
 A large number of naval aides-de- camp. goxernment departmental secrs- taries and other officials s1rrounded the party and those who had come to bid them farewell. So great was the nrotectfne force in the railway sta- tiou that any demonstration by the sa1ffragettes would have been irnpos- sible.
 The militant suffrage larson sTuad'' was out this morning and succeeded in destroying by fire 8. large, unteu- anted mansion in Lancashire A of suffrage literature was found scattered on the lawns eur rounding the house

troduce himself. He would converse about Normonism and is we'll equip ped with answers for any argument that may be inspired
 At first those in the neighborhood were inclined to scoff at the calls, but sistent that during market hours and in other spare moments the women of the neighborhood took occasion to speak of the matter in public. It is said that the revelations of the depth to which the doctrine has been preach ed were amazing and that many championed the religion, some most ferventIy.
 It is further said that at these con- ferences a. particularly noticeable fea- ture was the fact that neither young unmarried women nor those advancing in years were acquainted with the propaganda being spread. but that the efforts of those seeking new members for the fold had been devoted almost exclusively to the younger married el- ement of the district.
 It was later learned that a coterie of the most enthusiastic believers met regularly, in home on Howard court where one Of the silver -tongued speak CTS preached the beliefs, freedom and asserted beauties of the Mormon re- ligion.
 As the visits to the informant of The Farmer became so frequent ~and- unwelcone. and as the preacher. of Mormonfshm stayed sso long end brought forth such fund of argu- Inent. it became necessary to observe from a safe distance the features of all who sought admission at the home. In many instances when the unwel- come callers appear no heed is given, and showing a pamphlet beneath the threshold, he disappears to return for another trial.

STOOD READY TO HELP NATION
Morgan Offered to Place His Re- sources at Wilson's Disposal,
 Says Colonel Harvey

New York, May seswhen you see MT. Wilson tell him for me that if there should ever come a time when he thinks any influences or resources that have can be used for the -coun- try are wholly at his disposal"
 These were the last words Of J. Pierpont Morgan, spoken to Col. Geo. Harvey on the day before MT. Morgan sailed for Europe, never to return alive They were spoken dH1 the finan- cier;s library, and related publicly for the first time last night in an address by Colonel Harvey before a gathering Of bankers and other representative men at a dinner of the Trust conpa- nies Of America Mfr. Morgan was a Repu b1iean, and, in the words of Col. Harvey, not only regarded the poIiti- cal views advanced by MT. Wilson with honest apprehension, but never considered the Democratic party fully lcapable of governing this nation.'' His message to the new president. Col Harvey cited as measuring the depths of the man's patriotism.
 Referring to MT Morgan's testi- mony before the Pujo committee at Washington. Colonel Harvey said:
 Although mentally as strong as ever. physically he was sadly broken when summoned to Washington. At his age and in his condition 1t was xlle severest ordeal of his life; but it was for the best, as he himself came to realize
 ...I hated to go,' he said to me with characteristic simplicity, the day before he sailed away-1 hated to go, but ann glad T went I think I did some good
 ''It was a comprehensive utterance An his usual few words-s revelation, 600. of his innermost thought and aspiration had spoken of the fa- vorab1e impression that had been created by his testimony and he had evidenced tEe keenest appreciation.
 Yes he had said, T am con- vfnced that what you say is true. I think they know me better now. I hope so-'
 No sensitive man, no human man and MT Morgan was most sensi- tive and most hunaan-couId have failed to be touched by the multitude of friendly expressions which had come to him from all sections of the country"

well as that stretch Of unfinished city ] work remaining from Broad to Main on Fafrnelds Is being stored on both sides Of The street, no work Of tear ing up the old asphalt pavement or Fta1r3nge osGt the oldsEail Us has been Tstarted ana public sent nae1lt is sreat-
 ly against permission for the heaps of unused supplies remaining stored indefinitely at that point.
 c. H. Chapman, superintendent of the, Connecticut Co, when reached by telephone today by The Farmer, said: This is the first intimation I have received that the blocks are proving g of so much annoyance and I shall make it a point of taking a walk over the district affected. If the contrAc- tors have placed them in any such un- reasonable positions F will issue direc- ton that they be placed elsewhere. Of course, A1the boats have arrived here and unloading Is now in progress they will have to be put in some convenient place which will not affect the ra- spidity Of the dwork between Broad and Main streets when begun z
 Mfr. Chapman further said that the Connecticut company was now putting down its tracks as fast as possible and that the present ihold-up was due to awaiting the arrival of croes-oyers delivery of which had been promised this month He could not say definite 1y when the actual work. of relaying the old tracks in the affected district would commence
 Director of Public Works J.. A. -Cour- tade, when the matter was called to his attention, stated that permission had been granted by the city for the occupancy of the sidewalks. upon the ground that such storage was of ne- cessity. He said that lights had not been required at night as the contrae tors were supposed to keep a watch man whose duty it was to pick up any fallen blocks ana keep the pathway clear. No limit had been set as to the number of feet the material was to occupy. the understanding being that they were not to encroach upon more than one-half of the walk at any point.
 Just what action towards relieving the conditions exposed by indignant public the present administrative heads will take in view of the firmly intrenched position of the invaders is awaited with the utmost interest

found himself a hero; was paid for bis
bravery with a hug and a kiss, and
had been shyly invited to call.
Screams from a girl. the rapid
pounding of hoofs and the rattle OF q
swiftly drawn carriage reached bis
ears and as he turned he saw horse,
lines dragging on the pavement,
plunging wildly on. with girl help
less in the vehicle.
Christensen, who is young and ath.
letic, made a football tackle on the
horses neck His hold slipped, but
as he fell he grabbed a dangling rein.
He rolled almost beneath the wheels.
but held the rein fast and brought the
horse to stop against the curb.
The young woman jumped out,
picked him up, Rugged and kissed him.
Christensen says.
When the horse quieted the young
woman drove her rescuer to his home,
1861 West 10th street. En- route she
confided to him that she had gone
driving against her parents wishes.

tell Of the incident she would like
very much to have him call. He
