mean record and one that may remain
forever unequaled.
1t must be admitted that Lucas was
exceptionally favored by the friend
ship of Michel Chasles. the famous
French mathematician, who from 1861
to 1869 was a steady client and bought
almost the total output, paying In all
100000 francs. This was not a large
sum, considering that among the let
tiers he acquired were six from Alex
ander the Great to Aristotle. a chal-
lenge from julius Caesar to Vercinge-
torix, three missives of Cleopatra adj
dressed respectively to Cato. Caesar
and Pompey; one from Germius julius
to Jesus, n from Aeschylus to Py-
thagoras, twelve from Jeanne dare.

Mohammed to the king of France. ex-
cerpts from the writings of Caligula,
Dante. Spinoza. Luther. Rnbens. st.
Jerome and a multitude of hardly less
er personalities.
1t is true thai Michel Chasles did
make some objection to the fact that
these letters were in French. whereas
It is not stated historically that Caesar
and Cleopatra. for example. were In
the habit of using that tongue for
their private correspondence. But Lu-
cas- parted this protest in a way that
was in keeping with his dignity rs a
collector of famous letters by offering
to take back all he had sold to Cbasles
and return to him the 100000 francs.
Chasles was so touched with this on
yincing proof of his sincerity that the
discussion ending In his lending Lucas
20 louis to meet some pressing obliga-
tons.
How a man having need of $50 could
return $4,000 requires a great mathe-
matician to determine.
1t was the greed of England in wish.
ing to keep for Isaac Newton the hon
or of discovering the law OF grayita-
ton that caused the bubble to burst
and deprived Lucas of a steady and
very genteel occupation
With such solemnity as beftted a
striking proof of the worlds indebted

1t is true that at the date of this let

the attention of the great Pascal-but
there was still another proof of the
falsity of the document The author

into France until seven years after bis
death
All England arose and protested
They had given their gold medal to
Michel Chasles. but they insisted on

Shortly afterward Lucas was brought
to trial, and a sentence of two years
imprisonment ended a career not with

REPUBLICANS WILL FIGHT
 RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
Senate Democratic Leaders Have Difficulty to Main
 tain Quorum.

Washington, July 6.-when the senate resumed consideration of anti trust legislation today, democratic leaders prepared to make. deter- mined effort to maintain a quorum to do business. The trade commission bill is the unfinished business before the senate.
 Considerable difficulty has been ex- perienced by Senator Lewis, the dem- ocratic whip" in keeping a quorum in the senate chamber. This, too, despite the fact. that the action of the democratic conference last week bound the majority senators to stay in Washington until the administra- tion antitrust program is disposed of. Repeated roll calls have been neces- sary to secure a quorum.
 Warm weather and approaching pri- maries are believed to be responsible for the small attendance.
 In order to expedite action on trust and other pending legislation, Major ity Leader Kern is expected to ask that night sessions be held during the week. Belief is entertained that this would result in reaching a vote on the interstate trade bill before the close of the week. Unsuccessful ef- forts already have been made to fix a time for a vote. If no unexpected hitches occur, some of the leaders cling to the hope that an adjourn ment may be taken before Sept.
 Indications today are that adjourn ment may be delayed by republican opposition, lead by Senators Borah, Burton and Kenyon, to the river and harbor bill. They promise to make determined efforts to prevent its pass age. They object to the bill because it carries about $10,000,000 more than the house bill, and declare that it al- so authorizes the expenditure in fu- ture years of over $40,000,00O in ad- ditiOn.

SUMMER SCHOOL OPENS
 WITH EIGHTY PRESENT
Center Church Innovation Bids Fair to Be Great
 Success.

With over eighty children, ranging in ages from four to fourteen years, present at the opening session and indications pointing to greater num- bers attending as the week advances the Summer Vacation school whiclss opened at the First Congregational church chapel today, bids fair to be one of the most successful innova- tons that this city has seen in long time.
 Classes were organized this morn- ing in raffia work, basketry work. sewing, hammock making and kinder garten work under able instructors Miss Minnie Paro has charge of the sewing classes and is assisted by the Misses Frances Parker, Harriet Wells and Henrietta Flagg and Mrs. John Northend Miss Leila Clary is in charge of the raffia work department and is being aided by the Misses Lucy Clark and Mildred Robinson. Rev. Elmer T. Thienes and Mrs. Seelye are conducting the hammock making work and the kindergarteners are under the able supervision of Miss Fay Robinson of the Hartford School of Religious Pedagogy. Miss Eliza beth Rogers ad Miss Dorothy Latham are also identified with this work.
 While there are many boys already enrolled in this summer school the girls predominate in numbers, there being about fifty of the latter. The order of work Is for the enrolling or the children at 9:15 o'clock and the opening of the. various classes at 9:3o o'clock. Work and play is enjoyed un- til 11:3O o'clock when the children go home. This school will run five days each week, Saturday and Sunday be- ing the only days excepted, until Au- gust IA when the sessions will cease.
 This is an entirely new proposition in this city and seems to be taking we'll with both parents and children as it offers a place where the little tots may spend their time advan- tageously and yet pleasantly. Other large cities about the United States have found these summer schools de- cidedly advantageous to the rising generation.

LANDERS SAYS HOWE'S
 STORY IS INCORRECT
He Also States It Was Unauthorized. Declines to Discuss Matter
 of Candidacy.

A. T. Howe in yesterdays New York Herald said that Senator George M. Landers had decided to withdraw as a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor and seek the chairmanship of the democratic state central committee. His name has been mentioned in connection with both places but it was not known in New Britain that he ex- pressed any preference for either place or that he was a candidate or not. -
 New Britain people are very much interested in the candidacy of Mr. Landers and they doubted very much the story in the New York Sunday Herald. The senator, however, was heard from today and in a telegram to the New Britain Herald he said that MT. Howe's story was unauthor- ized and incorrect. He declined, however, to discuss the matter any further.

INCLINED TO BELIEVE
 COUPLE QUARRELED
Stamford Police Desirous That Mrs. Angle Be Removed to the COun-
 ty Jail at Bridgeport.


 Stamford, July 6.-Mrs. Helen M. Angle remained in the Stamford lock- up today while the inquiry into the tragic death of Waldo R. Ballou, on June 23. went quietly forward. The police are desirous that Mrs. Angle be removed to the county Jail at Bridge port, as the resumption by Coroner Phelan of his inquest Is indefinite and they would prefer that some one else visited by her father, Leonard Blondel, who spends much time with her. She is in much better physical and nervous condition than last week and accepts her detention with good temper To several visitors she said that her fath- CT. and counsel were constantly urging upon her the value of silence and so she will say nothing about the case.
 The inquiry into MT. Ballou's death is being conducted by States Attorney Cummings. It is understood that all theories that Ballou was struck by a third party on that night have been abandoned, and that inquiry is di- rected to the actual reason for Ballou calling twice that night The police believe that only Mrs. Angle knows the way in which Ballou met his death, and they have consistently said that they do not think he fell down stairs. They tend to the opinion that the couple quarreled.
 It may be ten days or more before Coroner Phelan comes here again to take evidence.

F1annery Co. to Branch Out.

Preliminary surveys have been made by the F. J. F1annery company of Whiting street for a new $10,OOO building to be erected in the near future. The building will be one story in height and will be of brick construction. It will be 150 feet long by 128 feet wide and will be used as a machine shop. The contract has not been awarded but will be in about two weeks. a..I
 The P. J. Flannery company is one of New Britain's smaller industries that is having a steady and conserva- tive growth. It is a family concern and is being managed in wise man. ner as is testified to by its need of ex- pansion. Its goods have a ready sale and are always in demand.

sRabbfS &-s sa s sa*
 At last nights session Rabbi Ste -phen s. Wise of New York, attacked members and demanded the adop- tion of the report of the committee on ''The Synagogue and industrial re- lations," which was submitted by Rabbi Solomon Foster of Newark, N. J.
 The committee recommended that the conference endorse heartily principles of the minimum wage, in dustrial insurance, workmen's conn pensation. old age pensions. prohibit tion of child labor and the right of workmen to organize.
 Rabbi H. G. Enelow of New York, declared the conference was not ready to approve this economic creed and moved that consideration of the report be put over until next year.
 What you are really after is in- definite postponement,' charged Rabbi Wise. You say this is pure ly economic problem. I tell you it is a religious and moral problem. There are those among us who not only
 
 pies recommended in the report but who believe In the abatement and ultimate abolition of poverty as a curse in the world.
 What you want us to do is to cater to the wealthy employers of labor, who so largely support the synagogue. You are afraid of what the rich may say if we take a stand for social and economic justice. You quote the Scriptures that Justice, justice shall thou preach but you are afraid to practice what you preach ''
 When the test came, the "conser- vatives" won. It was voted to have copies of the report printed and sent to all members of the conference to be acted on at next years convention
 Rabbi Louis Bernstein, in telling of the work of the synagogue for de- fective, delinquent and dependent Jews declared that in twenty-one penal institutions in the middle west including penitentiaries, reformatories and industrial schools there are only 125 Jews in a total of more than 14,- 900 prisoners.
