CORONER COLLECTS EVIDENCE.
Getting Facts in Lambert Murder Case Two Children at County Home Make no Reference to Tragedy

Coroner Arthur c. Bill was engaged during a part of Tuesday in the talk ing of evidence from persons who were first in touch with the Lambert murder case on Wednesday of last week. The coronor is completing his work in order that all evidence avail able may be ready for the use of the state at the earliest possible moment
 Dr, s. B Overlook of Pomfret, the physician called by Lambert to attend his dying wife, and Mrs William Dar- ling and Hilda Hibbika, the two Wo- men who first reached the Lambert home after the murder had been com mitted and who cared for the children temporarily were among those inter- viewed by the coroner during Tues day.
 The two little Lambert girls aged respectively four and six years, who were taken from their home to the town farm on the night after the murder have been committed to the temporary home for children of the county, near Putnam, by the select men.
 It was ascertained Tuesday that at no time during their stay at the town farm did the little girls make a single inquiry as to the whereabouts of their father and mother. They did not make single reference to the terrible tragedy of which they were wit nesses nor show the slightest trace of sorrow over it. They romped about as joyously as the happiest children in the world, seemingly having been spared any mental impression that their early years The loss of one of their rag dolls would have caused them greater anguish, if it cost them any at all.

During the school year that will con- mence in September next Putnam is to have a superintendent of schools on the basis of superintendency in many towns in Connecticut, the town school committee having voted in fa- vor of state aid. as provided by stat ute, the state meeting half of the superintendent's salary up to a total of $1800. which is the sum paid to such officials in the majority of towns that have accepted state aid.
 Just how the plans of the local school committee will be worked out Is not fully decided yet, but it is pos sible that some of the adjoining towns will be invited to join with Putnam in employing a superintendent, q district being formed as is the case in various sections of the state. Killingly and Brooklyn, for instance, where the sys tenn has given eninently satisfactory results during the past three years.
 It has been and is the practice in Putnam to have the principal of one of the schools act as superintendent of schools. but under the new system a superintendent will devote all of his time to visiting and inspecting. While there is plenty of work for superintendent in this town alone, there is not so much as to prevent a man filling the office from acting for another nearby town alsp, which would meet a part of the salary expense.
 Della Morse Fined on Two Counts.
 The following relative to Della Morse, whose home is in this city, is from the Southbridge correspondent of Worcester paper Tuesday: Mrs. Della Morse. Charlton. was fine $100 each on counts of keeping a disorderly house and keeping liquor illegally, by Judge Henry J. Clarke, in the district court Monday forenoon. Mrs. Morse appealed through her counsel, Hon. Charles Haggerty. Webster, and fur nished bail in $500.
 The charges were pressed as a re- suit of an early morning raid conduct ed by Orrin l.. Potter, Charlton, as sisted by Deputy Sheriff Edward F. Merrick, Holden, Officer George l.. Potter, Holden. and Officer Patrick Dady Charlton.
 The raid is the sixth or seventh con ducted by the Charlton officials and the first with result this spring, ac- cording to the defendant.
 Evidence that was racy was intro duced by the government in a very poorly prepared case, sustained, as Judge Clarke remarked, because Mrs. Morse had been before the court before on a charge of illegal liquor keeping and upon which she pleaded guilty with an understanding she leave the town a provision which she did not carry out

 Danielson, Conn. May 1, 1913 Senator Chas. F. Johnson.
 Washington, D. c.
 Dear Sir: This corporation vigor- ously protests against the enactment of the present tariff schedules. The writer has made a thorough study of industrial and economic conditions af- fecting the textile industry, and has had the pleasure of being quoted in the Congressional Record regarding this question.
 The tariff legislation, as proposed by the present administration, is little short of an economic crime and should this schedule as proposed be adopted this grand industry of ours will re- ceive a blow from which it will not recover for many years. It is the most inconsistent tariff schedule that an intelligent body of men could possibly conceive and I
 Woolen and cotton mills in this sec- tion of the state are planning to cur tail opera tions just as soon as possi- ble and plans that have been made for extensions and improvement have been abandoned because of the serious conditions that must develop if the proposed cotton schedule goes into ef- feet

MT. Bullard said Tuesday that the passage of the cotton schedule would injure the manufacturing concerns producing automobile tire duck in mills in this part of the country, as they would be unable to compete success fully against English manufacturers who are producing a similar and ex- cellent fabric at a much lower price than it can be produced in this coun- try. This product is now protected by a 40 per cent. specific duty, the pro- posed cotton tariff schedule providing for protection only in the degree of 12 1-2 per cent. ad valorem.
