Methodist Minister
 Attacks Governor

We feel that a man who favors an open Sunday does not represent the best elements of New England,'' said Rev. Martin M Kneeland of Boston, in the course of his remarks at the Kneeland is the secretary of the Lord s Day League of New England Mr. Kneeland said: 'I consider Gov. Bald win guilty of moral obloquy in failing to veto the Sunday amateur sports bill at the last session of the Connecticut legislature Governor Baldwin is seek ing to be appointed moderator at the next national convention of the Con- gregationaI church. The Lords Day league, said MT. Kneeland will use it's efforts to defeat him in this purpose.
 Rev. MT. Kneeland was a spectator at the observation-disclosures baseball contest at Newfield Sunday afternoon. -I think Bridgeport is in danger of losing it's good name, it's future char acter, by toIerating Sunday baseball, said MT. KneeIand "I am sure there must be enough men of character and standing in Bridgeport who will look far enough into the future and guard against the element of dernoralizat ton which always follows Sunday sports. The growth of the city, which is com mercial will be injured by moral de- generacy if the sports are contfnued. we clain1,' said MT. Kneeland refer ring to the league, that a, Sunday of sports certainly means and always will mean, an open day and a day of in- crease in toil, and trade and business, by which the workingTnen themselves will be injured"

oRr11CIsING GOV. BALDWIN.
(New Britain Herald.


 Is Rev. Martin D. Kneeland of Bridgeport correct in saying that Governor Baldwin yielded to the c1aHnor of the sporting and conner ciaI element when he signed what is known as the Sunday amateur sports bill?
 There was hardly any sporting in- huence, so called, back of this meas ure and there was no commercial in fluence at all. It is mistake to sup pose that Sunday ball is advocated for commercial purposes, the q mum Der who would be commercially sbenefitted d by such a law would be so small compared to the number who would derive pleasure from it that the form CT is not worth considering. The fact is that this Sunday ball movement is misunderstood; it is not a commercial enterprise and 1t is not even a sport ing affair either. There are people in favor of Sunday ball who are just as much in favor of a proper observ- ance of the Sabbath as those who are against it. The difference is in the viewpoint. Boys and young men played ball on Sunday before this bill became a law and sonly rarely were they disturbed. Every one knows it was in violation of the law but public sentiment was not back of it. The act was passed at a, time when pres ent conditions were not thought of. Those young people did not feel that they were doing any wrong and a large portion of the public didn't think so either. Now, thanks to the governor, they have a little more ib- erty. They work during the week days and they like to enjoy them selves on Sunday. For a, great many it is the only day in. the week when they have an opportunity for recrea- ton.
 Governor Baldwin has simply seen farther ahead than many of his crit ics. He probably is just as strong for Sunday observance as is Rev. MT. KneeIand, but doesn't think the law of ancient vintage is applicable to the conditions existing today. Isn't he right on that point?

NEWTOWN

Andro Krizeshi, a boy about 8 years of age, in charge of his grandparents on the Donlon farm in Gray's Plain district was discovered last week to be i'll of scarlet fever, by Dr. W, c. Kennedy, who immedia tely reported to Health Officer D. w. H. Kiernan. Nothing serious was thought of the in disposition of the boy up to the visit of pr. Kennedy and no care exercised to look out for him or guard against possible infection of others. Health Officer Kiernan quarantined the home, and the public school will not open for a week or more to allow time for any exposures to develop. The patient, it was found out, was properly a charge against Bridgeport and representax tive from the Health department of that city came here, and signified that the city would take care of him if Newtown would pay the costs of his transportation there After consulta- ton with the doctors, and investigat- ing the ability and willingness of the grandparents to carry out the health laws, and look after the sick youth, First Selectman w. C. Johnson, de- cided that it would be best to hold the patient here until the disease had run its course, and charge the costs against Bridgeport In the meantime every precaution will be observed to protect the public, and look out for the pa- tient.
 The case against Jacoo BLOCK peIore Justice Mccarthy was postponed yes- terday till Sept 29 as the defendants lawyer, Attorney J. c. Chamberlain, could not attend to the matter before that date.

While the report deals with specific instances in the conduct of Judge Speer, especially in bankruptcy cases, it also deals with the temperamentaI fitness Of the judge for the office he holds. The charges include allegations that Judge SpeeE appointed his son-in-law, A. H. Hay ward, an attorney, as executor of cer- tain estates and allowed him to charge exorbitant fees for his services

LOVERS LOST
TWICE, MARRIED

SEYMOUR, Ind. July IA two
linz personal note in a Jackson coun-
~ newspaper played an important
part in the closing chapter OF a
strange romance which began Is
years ago and eliminated a few days
ago in the marriage OF Reuben Nc
Cory OF Los Angeles. and Miss Eftie
Lucas OF st. Louis. Both formerly
lived in Freetown, this county. Twice
before they were engaged and the
wedding day set, but each time lost
trace OF each other, and not until
Mr.. Mccoy read that Miss Lucas was
visiting at her former home at Free
town did ne know Of her whereabouts.
McCory and Miss Lucas became en-
gagged when they were living at Free
town. Before the time set for the
marriage ne went 10 Kansas City.
Each wrote 20 the other. but none of
the letters was received. After wait
ing for a reply for several months
Miss Lucas went to St. Louis. soon
after she left Mr. McCory came east.
but no one was able TO give him any
Information as 10 where his sweet
heart had gone. He returned 70 the
west and soon moved to California.
hoping TO forget his disappointment.
Ten years later he returned TO Bed
ford 10 visit his sister. Mrs. G. u.
Pate. and when there again he met
his fancee. They again became en-
gagged and he returned TO Los Angeles
10 arrange his business affairs before
returning for his bride When on the
trip east the train was wrecked and
both Of his arms and both of his legs
were broken. For months he re-
manned helpless in a hospital at a
western town, and Miss Lucas was
never informed OF the accident. Her
letters were returned and she was un-
able 10 find any trace OF him. She
moved TO Iowa and afterward return
ed to st. Louis, where she has since
lived.
AS soon as McCory read Of her visit
at Freetown he began corresponding,
and the arrangements were made for
the wedding. Believing that fate was
against him. he refused TO make the
trip east. and Miss Lucas went 10 Los
Angeles, where the wedding cere-

DEATH RATE FOR MONTH
OF JULY IS VERY LOW

ELKHART, Ind. July 14-Elkhart
Is becoming a remarkably healthy
city. At least very few people Of the
city are patronizing the undertakers
During the first ! 3 days OF the month
hut six persons have died in the city
AS the usual monthly death roll av-
erages about 20. or about one 10 each
thousands. IT is apparent that for the
first part Of July the death rate is
less than half. Since this remarkable
record follows the low death rate Of
June. during which only Il Elkhart-
ans died. the record would seem to
mean more than a stern joke on the
part of the grim reaper. July's death
roll seems even more remarkable
when it is considered that OF the five
deaths one was accidental and two
were infants, one a stillborn child and
the other but three days Of age
