 Before announcing this decision Governor Baldwin communicated with the remaining bank commissioner, Fred P. Holt, inquiring if, with the present staff, Mir. Holt felt that the duties of the office could be discharged without filling the vacancy caused by Mir. Lippitt's resignation.
 Commissioner Holt gave an atiirma- tive reply. The governor further indi- cated that he believed one commis- sioner was all that was needed and that he thought the next legislature ought to change the present system in this respect.

FIXING IDENTITY
Of Body Found in Trench Septemberlnd
Clues pornt to Man Being Lewis Gilbert

The police have been running down clues which tend to identify the body of the unknown man found floating in the mill race of the Manhasset Manu- featuring Company Sept. 2nd and are nearly convinced that it was Lewis Gilbert, formerly Of Putnam, whom relatives have reported as missing. Gilbert is a mili operative and former ly lived in Putnam but left there some time ago and WAS working in Kiliingly from where it was reported he had dis appeared.
 The man was known to the police and others who saw the body and when Gilbert was first reported mis- sing they did not connect the two as they thought the body found was too large for that of the missing man. The bedy was bloaied from being in the water several days and decomposition had set in and some Of the flesh had fallen from the face hiding the fea- lures A cap that the drowned man wore has been identified as one similar 10 which Gilbert was wearing. There was new pair of shoes on the body and 1t has been learned that Gilbert purchased new shoes just before he disappeared. When he bought the shoes, the day being warm, he temov- ed his vest and left it in the shoe store to be called for.
 A piece of cloth from the vest was re- ceived by the police Thursday and was similar in design to that worn by the dead man. The similarity became more apparent when it was soaked in water. A man who lives near the mill race remembers that several nights be- fore the day on which the body was found he heard man on his piazza and ordered him away. He thought the man was about Gilbert's size.
 What further steps relatives may take to more certainly fix the identity Is not known but a brother in Provi- dence will be communicated with.

 Congressman Kennedy referred to the giant work Of Connolly in the his- toric struggle which brought the Bos. lon team from the bottom Of the heap to the top, and agreed with the players of the team that Joe was the most inn portant factor in that famous climb, lie paid fine tribute to Connolly both as player and as q man.
 The guest of the evening responded briefly, surprising his admirers by the excellence of his oratofieal effort. Joe said that he hoped to do little better work next season and predicted that Boston would again win the pennant and the worlds championship Con gressman Kennedy and Connolly were both wildly eheered.
 Tom Griffith, Boston outfielder of 1913, this year with Indianapolis, sang several selections, ns did Patrick Getchell. The Manville trio also fa- vored in this line, and Miss Rose c. Brady pleased with several readings. Following the entertainment dancing was enjoyed.

netted sl46. 1t was evident that many members Of the convention regretted the diversion, even flor so worthy q cause, of such sum of money from the work of suffrage, which has now reached the point where further stfen- uous effort promises greatly desired results.
 Next day the pledging of money for next years work was taken up. With great urging the sum of 5000 was finally pledged. There had been pre-. viously subscribed by private donors the sum of S540O making a total Of Sl2400. The leaders looked dubious Jas last year the association had had about $lS0O0 for the work. Matters brighten ed when some one suggested that in these war times, the sum pledged was equal Co double the amount last year. After luncheon officers were elected for the ensuing year. With few excep- tions the old ones were reelected. 4 lively discussion followed in regard lD lilC W P tIbii Ntst $ao- soclation. It was decided to .change the relationship of the state organiza- tion from full, to associate member. ship, which would limit the Connecti- cut delegation to ten members, instead of sixty.six, land reduce the annual dues from 800 to $iO0. 4 large mi- nority considered this move poor econ omy, but the leaders felt it to be best, for reasons before given, to keep ail money as well as all energy, for work at home. Thus closed,the convention.
 We were glad to hurry to our homes after one very short night, sandwiched between two such very long and slien- uous days.

Alvan Macauley. vicepresident and

said that he did not wish to say what
nation. as motor trucks are condition

trucks are not for any use In war.
The local company's contract, how
