CALL FOR NoRTHFIELD CONFER w. R. Moody Announces Speakers for
 Gathering From August 1-17.

Of interest to Norwich people and others from Eastern Connecticut who are accustomed to attend or take an interest in the big religious confer ences at Northfeld Mass, is the call to the Northtield General Conference of Christian Workers issued by w. l.. Moody
 To meet in conference for the mu- tual interchange of plans and methods. and for the comparison of different viewpoints, broadens the sympathies and stimulates to greater effort.
 It is for this reason, doubtless, that in all the history of the church. as well as in the Jewish economy, coun- cils, conversations and feasts have from time to time been held, bringing together priests or ministers and lay men for deliberation concerning the things of the Kingdom of God. And where the emphasis Is laid upon the essentials in which the Evangelical church is united, the results, we be- lieVe, will characterize the Thirty first General Conference of Christian Workers that we extend this invita- tion to Gods people to gather at Nerthfeid. August 1-17.
 Some of the speakers will be Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, MT. Dan Craw- ford, Rev, John Daniel Jones, Dr., Len G. BreughteA, Rev. Rockwell Har- mon Potter, Rev. George R. Stewart, Rev Charles Ingiis, Rev Robert F. Y. Pierce, Mir. Melvin Trotter, Rev A. T. Robertson, D. D., Rev. John A. Hut ton. M. A.. and Rev. J. Stuart Hold ep,

1 the market. Just what syndicate or combination of financiers will take over that part of the Connecticut com pany, known formerly as the Connec- tfcut Railway and Lighting company and pay for it what the New Haven paid for it is one of the questions not to be answered at this time. Unless the c. R. & L. has improved wonder fully in value in the past eight years or so the New Haven is not apt to re- ceive the price it paid for this sec tion of trolley.
 The retirement of Charles S. Mellen as president of the New Haven road, it is expected will make the accom- plishment of this plan possible, $4o.ooo,ooo in TroiIeys.
 The divorce of the Connections trol- ley lines is no more difficult proposl- ton. The entire capital of this com pany, amounting to s40,000.0 .0o0 is own ed by the New. Haven road. + con- trols the Connecticut Railway & Light ing company, which in turn holds the stocks of the Greenwich Gas X Elec- tric company. the Norwalk Gas Light company, the Norwalk & South Nor walk Electric Light company, the Naugatuck Electric Light company, the Southington and Plantsville Tramway company the Waterbury Traction company, the Norwalk Street.

 90 Years Lease by Plant.
 Tn February of this year the New Haven divested itself of a portion of it's trolley lines in Connecticut, leas- ing to Morton F. Plant. who controlled 103 miles of trolley lines in the east ern part of the state under the name of the Shore Line Electric Railway company. The leased lines included those from New London north to East Thompson, Conn, and give Mir. Plant about 229 miles of road. He is q heavy holder of New Haven railroad stock, and under the terms of the lease which Is for 90 years, pays about five per cent. on the $5,000,000 which these sub- sidiary lines cost the New Haven. It Is now believed that he will ulti- mately acquire all the trolley lines Of the New Haven in Connecticut, The lines which were leased to him, how ever, are those where business condi- tions were quite different from acting as feeders to the New Haven steam lines.

 While this syndicate as reported de- siFes only the Rhode Island trolley properties there is much interest about the state as to what will become of the Connecticut company.

HAVEN'T HELPED OURSELVES
 SAYS MAYOR MURPHY
Get Together Spirit Strongly Endorsed by Norwich Speakers at Ocean Beach.

BeacF.
 At the get-together meeting of the Eastern Connecticut business men, held at the pavilion at Ocean Beach Friday with the New England business men as guests, the speeches of Nor Wleh men contributed in no small measure to bringing about the spirit of enthusiasm for the future that pre- vailed at the end of the session.
 Herbert R., Branche of this city told or the feeling existing in Norwich that the city was handicapped in the trans portatien facilities between Norwich and Hartford via the New Haven road. A short distance above Norwich two branches of the road. one between Norwich and Worcester and the other between Providence and Willimantic, run parallel for considerable dis lance. The committee is advocating a cutoff at Versailles junction, which would reduce the distance between Norwich and Hartford about 20 miles and the cutoff would be only two or three miles. making a straight line to Wlllimantic from Norwich.
 Arthur c. Gulliver unfolded to the assembly the project of establishing cotton mill in Waterford. He as- serted that cotton manufacturing in the south had been disappointing and there was a tendency to come to the Atlantic coast, which has all the ad- vantages for this sort of industry that had made Lancashire, England. the cotton centre that 1t is. At the pres ent time 66 per cent. of the raw cot ton produced by this country is be- ing shipped to England and othe.' places. He cited several concerns in New England which were not only successful but were prospering. He said that the proposed company had secured an option on the property at Brownfrlg beach. which was especially adapted for the purpose.
 Former Representative Wheaton of Putnam told of the immense opportu- mites and advantages for industrial and agricultural development in his section of the state.
 Mayor Murphy of Norwich, who was the last speaker, said that every man owes something to his city and town and that he won't amount to any thing unless he devotes some of his efforts to their advancement. No town or village can succeed by their enter prise and the prosperity of a city de :, bends upon their efforts. If there ever was time when eastern Connecti- cut cities and towns should pull to- gether it is now. They can assist themselves in many ways Heretofore it has been the policy of any who came to a city for site and that city could not furnish it, no effort was made to send the seekers anywhere else. The matter was just dropped. Hereafter, if anyone wants a site which can't be furnished refer him to some other city. The great trouble has been that we haven't helped ourselves"
