 Suspicion seems to be entertained, MT. Robbins said, that the company intended to borrow more money than was. really needed and that it's officers and directors were ignorant of dnan- ciaI conditions in the worlds money market and were sacrificing the inter- ests of the company by the terms of the contracts for raising funds.

Washington Whisperings.

WAohlNGTON, ~. ", May 70, 1915.
Senator James A. O'Gorman of New
York, who has been an uncompromising
advocate of free tolls for American ships
on the Panama Canal, does not believe
that the Senate has changed its attitude
on the ques ion in the least and it will
continue to oppose any measure that
seeks to repeal that provision of the act
providing for the government of the
Canal Zone. 1.-THE Canal has been built
on American soil, by American money
we own it," said Senator O'Gorman.
''and we will continue to operate it for
the benefit of the people, Any other
course would be despicable and any other
construction of the ay-Pauncefote
Treaty would be shameful"
The ship Fran, selected by Capt Roald
Amundsen to carry him and his party to
the North Pole next fall, will be the first
vessel other than U. S. warship to pass
through the Panama Canal. Col. Goeth-
! oiSb OuibSl VI tHC W dttI way, anu OeCtt-
tary of War Garrison have given the ex-
/ plorer this permission, but because of
the possibility of landslides no definite
time for the actual transit of the little
vessel can be set.
In letter to Secretary Garrison Cap
tain Amundsen says: 81 naturally un-
derstand that the passage of the vessel
is entirely dependent upon the condition
of the slides. but also realize that even
if the same should delay me for few
months it would still be of immensely
more advantage for the Fran to pass
through the Canal than to go around
South America"
The universal recognition of Mothers
Day, May 18th, in which all classes of
citizens, from the President of the
United States down to the humblest
toiler, joined in tender remembrance of
the 'sweetest woman in the wolld-my
MOTHER as Speaker clark feelingly
described the spirit of the day, would
seem to indicate that the world, or at
least our portion of the world is moving
forward to better things. The unanimous
adoption of the resolution introduced by
Congressman Het1in of Alabama last
week calling upon the President of the
United States, the Senators and Repre-
sentatives land all others in authority"
TO honor Mothers Day by wearing a
white carnation or other white flower,
was a fine contrast to the treatment
accorded the resolution of Ex-senator
Burkett of Nebraska, who introduced a
similar measure several years ago in the
upper branch of Congress. 1t was
laughed out of the Senate, some of the
staid members of the body insisting that
there should be a Fathers Day, a Grand
fathers Day and Grandmother Day.
Senator Burkett made speech in favor
of the resolution which since that time
has become classic.
Now Congressman Heflin comes along,
introduces resolution and it is passed
unanimously, thereby fixing for all time
Mothers Day.

The driver of the other auto, evidently did not have hls machine under perfect control, and the result was that he struck the Free man auto with inst enough force to bend the lenders of both machines, and shatter the lamps on the left-hand side.

DOT" SUMNER DEAD
WelIknown Bridgeport Lawyer Passes
 Away at Falls Village.

Well-known Bridgeport Lawyer Passe' Away at Falls Village.
 Edward Stewart Sumner. of Bridge port, who was brother of Mrs. Georg' O. Feet, died Wednesday at Dr. Shan non's sanitarium in Falls Village, wher he had been a patient for about si, weeks. He was son of the late Col Samuel B. Sumner, and was born il Great Burlington 58 years ago, but hac lived in Bridgeport since he was year of age. He was lawyer and for sev eral years assistant clerk of the Fair field County superior court.
 About year and half ago he wa afflicted with pneumonia, which latel developed acute tuberculosis, the immed fate cause of his death.
 He is survived by two sisters, Mrs George 0. Peet, of Bridgeport and Ga naan, and Mrs. Charles O. Godfrey, tht wife of prominent Bridgeport physi clan.
 The funeral was held at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Godfrey, Friday after. noon. and was under the charge of the Masonic fraternity, of which deceased was for many years prominent mem. Der, being 32d degree Mason and for over 25 years secretary of St. Johns lodge, No. 8, F. and A. M. He was also 8 recorder for Pyramid Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, for many years. and member of Jerusalem Chapter. No. 13, R. A. M.; Jerusalem Council, No. Is, R. 6 s. M. Hamilton Com mandery, No. 5, K. T., and Lafayette Consistory, s. P. of R, s. A. and A. S. R. His announcements of the various meetings and outings of the Mystic Shrine, were veritable gems of delicious humor and literary genius, oouched in the exaggerated and pompous grandil- oquence of phraseology for which the oriental mysticism of the exalted order gave full license to his broad and yer satile imagination.
 Dot" Sumner, as he was familiarly called, came of distinguished ancestry, and was in himself a worthy type of that ancestry-a learned, discriminating conscientious lawyer, big-hearted, sym pathetic. companionable and generous to fault. He was frequent visitor at the Bishop camp, at Twin Lakes, in days gone by. and was always the life of the party. His father. the late Col s. B. Sumner, was a distinguished soldier in the war of the Rebellion, a we'll known and successful lawyer and of considerable fame as a poet. His grandfather, Increase Sumner, is we'll re- membered by the older residents as a prominent lawyer of Berkshire county, who died more than a generation ago.

JOHN WAS FOOLED
Advertised for a Wife and Had Wild
 Goose Chase.

A real life romance, with an unhappy ending, must be chronicled among the Canaan happenings of the week. The narrowing tale is related by the heart sore victim himself, whose name, for the purposes of this story, shall be called John Doe.
 John relates that, feeling the need of gentle companionship and having be- come profoundly impressed with the truth of the proverb that it is not good for man to be alone, he conceived the idea of advertising for a wife. Accord ingly had @ want ad. inserted ln a Berkshire county paper, setting forth his wants. He received a reply from Canaan signed Mary Smith," applying for the distinguished honor of becoming Mrs. Doe. The correspondence was kept up for some weeks before Mary consented to meeting, but it was finally arranged that the meeting was to take place last Friday night, at the Ashley Falls station, the understanding being that'John was to wear white bow in bis butTon-hole, for purposes of identifi- cation, Mary" to be similarly tagged.
 At the appointed hour John was there with his white bow conspicuously dis played on his manly front. As he ahghted from the trolley car, he spied the waiting maiden, at the south end of the platform, with her white bow plainly in evidence. John started for her, but to his dismay, as soon as she got a good look at him she turned and ran, like 8 frightened deer, toward Canaan. John started in pursuit, but she outdistanced him and he lost the trail before reaching Canaan. He spent the rest of the night canvassing the neighborhood of Bragg street in search of his lost love, calling people up out of their beds to inquire if Mary Smith, lived there, but nobody in the locality knew any such person.
 John never suspected that he was as hot on her trall as he really was. nor does he suspect that "Mary Smith, was not Mary Smith at all, nor that he was being made monkey of by a bevy ot mischievous young ladies who saw 8 chance for sport in his advertisement
