GUNSHANNON SHOCKED AT CHANGE IN ATTITUDE
 OF DIR. FRIEDMAN

Hartford, April 9-Commissioner Gunshannon, of the tuberculosis com mission, today, in statement, said he was not only surprised but shock ed at the changed attitude of Dr.. Friedmann since he visited him at Providence on Wednesday. MT. Gun shannon says:
 His attitude, yesterday, seemed to be that of a man laboring under heavy nervous strain. The commits sion did everything that could possi- bly, be done to try and persuade the doctor to come to the state and treat our sick. am not ready to say, however, that the doctor will not come to Connecticut if opportunity presents itself. I will make him another per sonal visit At Providence he inform ed me he intended going to Germany in about a months time but in our conference, yesterday, he stated he intended going to Germany in two weeks time. But he expects to return to this country at a not very distant date and the only thing to do at pres ent is to wait for the future to de- velop.'

VEsPER INSTITUTE

Dr. Swain will discuss the follow ing questions at the South church on Sunday, April 20, at 5 o'clock:
 What is our social duty toward evil doers?
 How far should we make them our companions?
 By evi1doers we mean those who de- rive their living from what is termed deliberate sin: from such sources as liquor, gambling, houses of i'll fame, white slavery, etc.
 These people are our neighbors, ten- ants, customers and social compan- ions, often wealthy, respectable and with social graces.
 Should we make any distinction be- tween those who are moral and those who are notorfously immoral?
 How and in what way shall we stand for ethical principles?
 The following will be the musical program by the Swedish Singing so- ciety Norden of this city. of which Henry Myberg is the director; Natten (In the Night), J. Witt; Songfoglarne (Songbird), O. Lindblad; Morgensong (Morning Song), F. Apt.

AMMUNITION IS
 GONE FROM JUAREz
Breach Blocks Vanish from Can non and Federal Garrison
 Is Helpless

Fl Paso, April 19-The Mexican fed eral garrison at Juarez found itself in a predicament, today. Some daring person had made away with the ann munition and breach blocks of all the cannon. Complicating the situation was the fact that during the siege of Naco. Sonora. large shipment of ammunition was sent through the United StatessfoT the relief of General Ojeda and now Col. Juan N. Vasquez finds himself in command of plenty of men at Juarez but with virtually no artillery and little ammunition.
 Juarez. it is predicted, soon may need the ammunition as well as the breach blocks.
 Pesos f1uttering around the 45 cent mark have caused somewhat of a panic along the border, not only in banking but in mercantile circles Foodstuff prices are rising in Chi huahua city and Juarez. The Fl Paso banking exchange Is keeping one point below the Mexico City peso mark Un- easiness which has brought the price of the silver certificates lower than in many years, is blamed on the grow ing revolution and the bankers mis- giving of the reserve fund at the Mex 1can Capitol.

ACROBAT NOT
 SERIOUSLY HURT
Mrs, Maude Cromwell Suffered Fall At
 Lyric Theatre Last Night.

Falling headlong from the high trapeze upon which she was perform ing with her husband at the Lyric theatre, Mrs Maude Cromwell, last night was precipitated to the stage below in full view of the large audi ence. Although greatly frightened by her experience and with the muscles of her back badly strained, before suc- cum bir4g to the shock and as the cur tain was being lowered, the p1ucky acrobat managed to tell the specta- tors she was not badly hurt.
 Prompt action upon the part of em- ployes of the house prevented any panic and with the introduction of colored pictures the thoughts of those who had witnessed the fall were di- rected in other channels.
 Examined by physician Mrs. Cromwell was found not to be injur- ed seriously but was sent to the Bridgeport hospital where she will be kept under observation for several days. That she did not meet with more serious injury is due to her pre- caution in guarding vital parts of her body as she struck the floor.

STOCK GROWERS MEET
THIRTEENTH ANNUAL CONvEN.

Delegates Visited Legislature to Urge
Passage Of Bill Providing for Pay
for Stock Killed BY Trains.

Western Newspaper rnion News service
Denver.-About one hundred repre-
sentatives of the thirty livestock as
socatibns of the state, composing tho
Colorado Stock Growers association.
met in Denver for the thirteenth an
nual convention OF that body.
Frank ID. Squier of Rifle, president
of the association, called the cOnVen-
ton to order and made a short talk
in which he congratulated the mem
bership on the satisfactory atteni-
ance and referred to several matters
OF Importance with which the conveh-
ton must deal.
Secretary Fred p. Johnson then
made his annual report, in which 1T
was shown the association is in pros
porous condition, but" he added,
there Is urgent necessity just now for
earnest work on our part to obtain
legislation, from the lack of which We
have suffered for years.
Johnson devoted most of his atten-
ton to the railroad stockkilling bili
now pending in the Legislature. He
went over the history of legislation
and attempted legislation along this
line in past years and pointed out
that all had proved failures.
You all know" said he, that the
stock killing bill we obtained at the
hands of the last legislature on "
compromise proposition to which the
railroads agreed was rendered mop
crativc because the railroads refused
to do their Fart. Then came the
agreement, in lieu OF the law. whereby
settlements for killed cattle were to
be made out OF court, and you remeD;-
Der how we were checkmated by the
railroads refusal to issue passes to
inspectors, as they had agreed TO do.
What We want to do now is TO
pull together and obtain the passage
of the bill now pending. Under its
terms the railroads will be required
to fence their rights of way and II
any animal is found to have been
killed on an unfenced portion OF the
road it will be prima facie evidence
of negligence on the part of the rail-
road company. In short, the burden
of proof will be upon them and not
upon us"
The delegation went to the capitol
and busted itself with various mem
bers of the Legislature in behalf ..
