cient to overcome the early disadvantage
and during the greater part of the ses-
sion the active list held close to yester-
days last figures. In most cases the
range of prices was confined to fractions.
The Supply of stocks was not large and
buyers frequently found ii necessary to
raise their bids. Another evidence of
underlying firmness lay in the strength

which gained one to three points. 1t was

ments of consequence occurred. West

The June Breakfast" given Friday
morning in the chapel of the South
Parish Congregational church, by the
members of the parish, proved a very
enjoyable occasion and was attended
by about 125 people, which number
would doubtless have been much larger
had it not been for the storm of
Thursday night. 1t had been planned
to serve breakfast on the lawn, but
because of the wet ground and the
high wind which prevailed Friday
morning the tables were spread in the
chapel, which was prettily decorated
for the occasion. An excellent menu
was served, which included grape
fruit, bananas, beans, eggs, hot rolls,
coffee and doughnuts.

tive in the management of the various

MILWAUKEE WOULD HAVE
MISSIONARIES FOR POLICEMEN

Milwaukee, March 8.-A policeman
should be a missionary and educated
men and women are none too good Tor
the work, according to Charles M.
Sheldon of Topeka, Kan, who deilv-
cred an address here Saturday. Shell
don urged college men and women TO
fit themselves for this kind of work.
He is touring the country to holo
conferences with college men on CIVIC
righteousness.
eff they would let me pick the pe-
licemen and policewomen-for hair OF
them would be women-I would guar
antee to reduce crime one-half with
in five years. he said. THE police
man should be a big brother and the
policewoman a big sister to every one.
The policeman is the greatest of mix
ers. He should be a man who studes
conditions among the people free from
dishonesty and graft and a Chris
tian."
Sheldon said it did not require a
college graduate to direct traffic, but
that such duties were only small
part of what an officer ought to do.

No New Station
For New Haven

New Haven, March SIN response to
a question put to the New Haven ROAD
by Mayor Rice of this city, Pres. James
H.. Hustis Saturday wrote to Mayor Rice
that the building of new railway sta
ton in this city has been indefinitely post
poned.
New Haven has been fighting for new
station for years. and during MIR. Mel
lens regime a new station was promised
and preliminary work begun. The city
spent considerable money making streets
and approaches for the proposed station,
and has, therefore, insisted that the rail-
road carry out its contracts.
Pres. Hustis now states that it Will be
years before the road can think of
spending the necessary money to erect
the station He says the road intends to
spend no money at present except for
new equipment.
Hartford was also given to understand
that the road has not funds to build a
new station there to replace that badly
damaged by fire recently. Instead, the
old station will be patched up.

FOUND BY SEARCHERS

Yarmouth, Me-. March s.--A search
ing party Saturday morning, after an
all-nights hunt located crew of
browntail moth pickers, which left
Clapboard Island in a small boat and
failed to reach the mainland. The
moth hunters had been forced by the
weather to return TO the island.
For several days the moth hunters

caretaker of the island has been in
the habit of conveying them in his
large boat to and from the island.

were in a dory and the others, Oscar
Drinkwater, Henry Merrill, Russell
Smith and Edgar Grant, in a small

wando Landing, Falmouth, after
hard struggle, having had to break ice
all the way. The other boat had fail

PLYMOUTH, MASS, STILL
VOTES AGAINST LIQUOR

Plymouth, March S.-There was
quite a little excitement at the annual
town meeting held Saturday. The
principal interest centered in the Sc
lection of the board of selectmen and
the license question. The town voted
no-license by a majority of 223 votes.
the vote standing yes 763, no 1856.
The greatest surprise was when
the announcement came that two Of
the present members of the board had
been deposed and replaced by two
others Chairman Alfred S. Burns and
Herbert S. Maxwell were decisively
beaten, the successful candidates be-
ing William T. Eldridge and John l..
Morton. Only one Of the old board
was retained. The campaign this year
was waged on the license issue, and
at least majority OF the new board
are known to be opposed to the sixth
class or druggists license. The Good
Government League was bxsy all day
bringing out the no. license voters.

The All=Night
Problem in N. Y.

New York, March S.-The all-night
license and l o'clock curfew aues-
tion was the subject of a statement
today by Mayor John Purroy Mitchell,
who announced he had appointed
committee of seven citizens to hold
public hearings before he would de-
eide on recommendations made by his
secretary, Arthur Woods, who has been
investigating the matter. To his sec
retary the mayor recently assigned
the task of working out policy which
would give the people of the city rea-
sonable opportunity to get refresh
ment during the latter hours OF the
night, while preventing, as far as pos
sible, the occurrence of Objectionable
conduct in places licensed and avoid
ing all suspicion of discrimination on
the city's part.
Mr.. Woods. after many conferences.
recommended that to reputable ana
orderly restaurants which provide en-
tertainment. such as cabarets and pub
lie dancing, be given licenses permit
ting them to keep open with full priv
ileges until 2 o'clock if no obJection-
able conduct is tolerated. His other
recommendations were:
That other restaurants and saloons
which are above reproach and con-
tinue so, be granted all night licenses
on application. if they can show gen
uine demand by all night workers and
be allowed to remain open all night,
providing food is served and there are
no back rooms where objectionable
conduct can take place.
That no all night license be granted
to hotels, and that at 1 O'Clock the
sale of liquor in these places be dls-
continued, but that the hotels may De
allowed to continue serving food TO
guests in other parts of the building
The policy recommended is not raoi-
cally different from that of the late
Mayor William J. Gaynor.

Frederick Townsend Martin.

New York, March S.-Frederick
Townsend Martin occupied high
place in soeieyt circles and his many
activities were widely followed both
here and abroad Member of an old
New York family, brother of the late
Bradley Martin and related to the no.
bility of England, MIR. Martin figured
for years in the society events and in
Europe. But it was his view regard
ing the relations of the rich to the
poor which won him as much promi-
nence as any of his social activities.
Spoken of by many as the leader of
society in New York and the sue
cessor of Ward MacAllister. Mr.. Mag
tin was often to be found with his
friends at Bowery Mission entertain
ing the homeless and the hungry. 1t
was one of his purposes In life, he said,
to endeavor to bring cheer to the
friendIess and TO help them on TO bet
ter ways. Society was at first startled
by this innovation and then went to
his aid. His dinners to the homeless on
the East Side at Christmas time came
TO ne we'll known events of the hol-
iday season. Mr.. Martin came into
public notice in an even greater degree
in 1911 with his advent into the field
of authorship. In that year he pub
lished his first book, The Passing OF
the Idle Rich" This was followed
shortly by his other two volumes, My
Personal Experiences of Meeting
Sncbs,' and the "Reminiscences of My
Life" In his writings he criticized
caustically the extravagances of high
society which he declared had been
eating, canlSer-I like much of the best
manhood and womanhood of the
country" He preached the gospel, he
said, that where idleness and eXtraV-
agance creep in. decay begins"
Frederick Townsend Martin was
born in Albany in 1s4S, was educated
at the Albany Boys Academy and was
graduated from the Albany Law
School in 1872 He was the son of
Henry Hull Martin and Anna Town
send Martin. The family came of old
Colonial stock in Connecticut. He was
a bachelor and was a member of many
