MOVE TO DIVIDE THE DIOCESE IS DEFEATED
Fourteen Names Presented For Rev Mir Lns ley Declining a.Nominaton- Brewster Congrat- uIates Conference Its Action-Judge Greene Elected Lay Delegate to General Conference

based on the ground that he would be considered infirm or incapable of continuing to perform all his duties. He asked Mir, Bodley to point out the speech in which he had so expressed himself. MT. Bodley begged the biSh- ops pardon and said he had not meant to misquote him. He said he gained that general impression from what he had heard the bishop say.
 Judge Greene Opposes Division.
 Rev. Joseph P. ~Smyth of Canaan pleaded for an undivided diocese. He was followed by Rev. George l.. Paine of New Haven, who took the opposite view Rev. John F. Plumb of New Milford, secretary of the diocese, spoke in favor of the division on the grounds of efficiency
 Judge Gardiner Greene of Norwich said it was up to those who wanted the diocese divided to prove the action to be necessary and he believed this proof had not been given so far.
 Voted to Elect Suffraean Bishop.
 pr. Hartman took the floor to re- flute Mr. Mansfeld's statement that the matter had not been presented to the laity. MT. Mansfield, in reply, said he believed the body of lay men and lay women had not had time to con- slider the question. Rev. Dr. Stuart Means of New Haven thought the peo- pfS dt ldf SC SuOuEU nave I1lo say. Rev. L. B. Howell of NorkWalk summed up the arguments for the division, and moved that the vote taken at the last convention year ago, by which a. suffragan bishop was elected, be re- scinded. The vote was as follows: Clergymen. for, 107; against, 43; laity. for. A, against 109. As a result of the vote, 152 to 151. it became neces- sary to elect a suffTagan bishop.

SENATE COMMITTEE
 SMELLS FREE LIST.
Numerous Changes in the Underwood
 Bill Proposed.

Washington. June 11.-Changes n the Underwood tariff bill by the senate finance sub committee transferring proposed dutiable articles to the free list will aggregate an estimated an nual loss in revenue to the government of nearly million and a half dollars @ year.
 This curtailment of the total esti- mates for revenue under the house bill Is based only on articles known to have been transferred to the free list thus far upon sub committee recon : mendations and does not take in ac- count the decrease in duties which will be proposed on many articles in the various schedules.
 Added to the s25,ooo,Ooo estimated loss in revenue under the house bill free list. this would aggregate $26. 500. |. 900.
 Included in the senate list are the revenues that would be derived from hemp which the Underwood bill makes dutiable, but which the senate sub committee today decided should be transferred to the free list. Hemp will be sent to the caucus on free list on the ground that it belongs there if other products of the farms such as cattle and wheat are to be free listed, as it would result in cheaper twine U the farmers and compensate them somewhat by reducing their harvest ing expenditures.

 Hartford, June 1O 1913. Hon.. Edwin D. Robbins. General
 Counsel, New York, New Haven
 & Hartford Railroad Company,
 New Haven. Conn.
 Dear Sir: Enclosed you will find railroad pass which through your kind ness, l received on the 7th inst. can assure you that I appreciate the courtesy extended and. desire to ten- der you my most sincere thanks, but l have adopted the policy, while city official, not to accept free transporta- ton. and now as state official I hard ly think that l should accept said pass. do not believe that a state official should receive any more consideration than the man who pays his fare
 The state of Connecticut fixes the salary of the comptroller by law. He knows what that compensation is. and should do his duty to the state of Connecticut and her people regardless Of any gifts, enolu1nents, or other considerations. Therefore, in return Ing the enclosed pass, I believe I am only doing my duty as an official and citizen of the state, and one that does not believe that 1t is good policy to accept free transportation at the hands or any corporation.
 Again thanking you for VOLT kind ness, remain
 Sincerely yours,
 DANIEL P. DUNN,

Accuse Wilson
 Of Unflirness
SUGAR PRODUCERS SAY THEY
 WERE MISLED.
HAD NOTHING TO FEAR
Declare That They Were Given This Assurance-Have Tried in Vain to Talk with the president.

Washington, June 11.-Investigation of the sugar lobby by the senate lobby committee today was to a marked eX- tent controversy over whether Presi- dent Wilson had given the sugar pro ducers reason to believe they would have nothing to fear from free sugar under his administration.
 Accuse Wilson of Unfairness.
 Out of the days testimony, in which Louisiana and Hawaiian witnesses re- peatedly declared they had not re- ceived fair treatment from the presi- dent and had been misled by others as to his purpose the committee succeed ed in drawing what are believed to be some of the most important facts thus far developed. Some of the sugar men frankly admitted that they constitut ed lobby although they objected to the charge that any of their actions had been ''inSidious' or in any way il legitimate or underhanded. They ad- mitted that comprehensive campaigns had been organized and carried out, to create back fires on senators and representatives from their own states in the hope of winning their support to the anti-free sugar side.
 Louisiana's Prosperity at Stake.
 "The prosperity of Louisiana was at stalle,'' said Jules Godchaux, a sugar
 
 we did business with to write to sen ators and representatives telling them that free sugar would destroy the bus mess of the state. We asked them to write and wire to Washington and to ask the merchants they did business with throughout the country to do the same. We tried to establish an end- less chain of letters and telegramS, to draw the attention o9 congress to our arguments"
 Urged Customers to Write Letters.
 John F. Hamburg of New York, manager for a large Hawaiian sugar firm, admitted that his firm had urged all of their 1,500 or more customers to write to senators and representatives, pointing out the destruction to buS1- ness that would follow free sugar.
 We had to do that to overcome some of the effects of the mdsstate- ments that had been made in the free sugar campaign" he said.
 Tried in Vain to See Wilson.
 Plainly resentful of the president s recent statements as to the operation of an sinsidious lobby" in Washington, the Louisiana and Hawaiian sugar men enlivened the hearing with ire quet attempts to tell of the pledge they believed they had received that sugar would not be made entirely free. Jules Godchaux and E. F. Dicksinson, the two Louisiana witnesses, declared they had tried in vain to see the president, and had been informed that he had all the information he wanted on the su- gar tariff.
 President Poorly Informed.
 MT Dickinson declared the president haG never talked with any practical sugar man. about the Louisiana situa- tion. and that he had secured most of his information from National Com mitteeman Robert Ewing, a newspaper man: Sol WexIer. a banker; Repre- sentative BrOussard and Senators RamsdelI and Thornton.

COOK STOVES USED
 TO SEcRETE MONEY,
Many People Still Lack Confidence in
 Banks, Says U. S. Treasurer.

Elkins, W. Va. June 11--Despite the growing confidence of the public in the stability of the banks, thousands of people of the United States, still in credulous, bury their savings in the ground or hide them in the ovens of cook stoves for safe keeping, accord ing to United States Treasurer John Burk in an address here today before the convention of the West Virginia Bankers association.
 Every fall said MT. Burke, the treas urer's office receives many fragments of burned paper money wich has been stored in stoves during warm weather and the hiding places forgotten until the awful discovery of the charred bits raked out after fires have been built with the approach of frost. About 2,000 such cases are received yearly, coming first from the northern sec tions and by degrees from the warm CT zones. This, he said, is the treas urer's means of tracing the frost line from Canada to the Gulf
 The treasurer expressed hope of currency reform tEin a supplementary way or otherwise" so that the coun- try's system would respond to the growing demands of trade and com- merce.

When active work was commenced in Jerusalem last year it was found that every fifth person had malaria1 germs in his system. The chief causes of the malaria were found to be the open cisterns and the pools that a. bounded in the city and around about.
