 OF ORGANIZED PEACE
Governor Baldwin So Declares in Ad- dress to Sons of American RevoIu- ton.


 New Haven, Conn, Sept. 16-~The ultimate result of these wild. days will be the spread of organized peace" said Governor Baldwin today, in the course of an address to the Sons of
 the American Revolution, who held their customary summer outing on the east shore today. T believe that what all civilized nations favored at The Hague international conference of 1907 will some day come. to pass," he added They voted to set up an international court of justice such as set up. the next year and which now exists for the five nations of Central America These wars, hope, will force it's establish ment."
 Governor Baldwin discussed the con- ditions of armed conflict, saying that the war of the; revolution could not any such method of procedure '(court Of justice). He said: We had to fight or to submit. England had to fight us or submit to us. In our own Civil war; England and France pro- posed to mediate between the north and the. south. We would not listen to them. We could not in the nature of the case. It was a domestic contro- versy, so long as the south was un- successful, and lasting success they
 never gained. Civil wars must always be fought out to the end. Between | sovereign and subject, between law and
 riot, or private violence. there can be no toleration of intervention by any other country"

WIEWIORA ACCUSATION CHANGED
Charge Was Dropped in Superior Court Judge Believes Fatal Wound Was Received in House Wewiora Guilty of Assault and Battery--Fned $50 and All Costs Remitted-Other Cases Disposed of.

The charge of manslaughter on which Albert Wiewiora of this city has been on trial in the criminal su- perior court here was changed We'd nesday morning to assault and bat tery.
 When court came in Wednesday morning State Attorney Hull stated to the court that it was doubtful if the accused could be convicted of the idence that had been introduced and which the state had, so he recom- mended that the charge be changed. The court allowed the charge to be changed and Wiewiora was put to plea on the charge of assault and battery to which he pleaded guilty.
 Wiewiora was accused of causing the death of Lawrence Mydock in Norwich last July. Wiewiora and Mydock, who were both drunk, en- gaged in a fight in a boarding house and during the brawl Mydock re- ceived a fracture of the skull which caused his death in Backus hospital two days later.
 The trial was started last Thursday since which time much medical tes- timony had been introduced as well as that of several Polish witnesses.
 Attorney Thomas M. Shields. who with Attsrney V. P. A. Quinn, has been counsel for the accused, recalled Patrick J. Sullivan to testify.~ This man told of seeing Nfydock on the ground and of carrying him into the house but he did not see any blood on the man. nor did he see any woman push Wiewiora away from, Mydock while Mydock was on the ground.
 Michael Bukhara gave testimony that he looked through a window and saw Mydock with a glass of beer in his hand after the fight.
 m -I. 1ral ed to the house to treat the woman who was kicked, was also put on the stand by the defense. At the house he saw Mydock on the floor with his head near the surbase. The doctor testified to a wound that he saw 1n- side of one of Mydock's ears that was bleeding profuSely and he geue 1t as his positive opinion that what caused the fractured skull from which My dock died was the fall in the room when -Mydock's head struck the dool casing.
 Albert Wiewiora, the accused in the case, was called to the stand. He -es- tified that he had been in this .o1n- try about six years and that he had a wife and children in Austria He related his story of the trouble at the house No. 8 Sherman street. whicE did not differ materially from what had been told by the other witnesses Wiewiora denied that he hit Mydock or that he kicked him, but said they bott clinched and went to the ground Mydock's making fun of the witness was what began the trouble and then Mydock hit him when they were or the sidewalk
 Dr. Gildersleeve was recalled ana asked about the wound inside the cal which he said he had not seen. Ht also testified to other marks on the body as shown at t.e autopsy.
 Judge was Convinced.
 At this point Judge M. A. Shumway made a, brief review of the case an6 said that he was convinced that tht wound that Mydock received inside the house was what caused Mydock':

DIARY TELLS OF
 BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL.
Manuscript of Noah Chapin, Jr., of Somers Presented to State Library.


 Mrs. Abbie J. sherman of Somers has presented to the state library, through Edwin c. Davis of Somers, Q. manuscript diary of Noah Chapin, Jr., of Somers kept by him from April IS, 1775, to July IT, 1775. Noah Chapin, IT,, was born July 20, 174S, was ensign May l, 1775. in Capt. Solomon Willes' company in Col. Joseph Spencers regi- ment. raised on the first call for troops, by the legislature of Connecticut. April-May, 1775.
 This regiment marched by companies to the camps around Boston. It took post at Roxbury, and served during the siege until the expiration of term of service, December. 1775. Ensign Cha pin died May 5, 1790, aged 42 years. The Noah Chapin who was a cornet in Isaac Serjeant's Fourth regiment of light horse. which was at Norwich May. 1776, was probably the same man. The identity of the author of the diary is thus obtained from various published records.
 The writer of the diary thus de- scribes the battle of Bunker Hill: Parade, Newport field, off Colt Ho1- man, this morning before sunrise while our company were embodied for roll call, the enemy on Coppers Hill in Boston and from their shipping in the r1yer' began to cannonade our people. who had fortified on Bunker Hill to about a mile from Charlestown wharf, when the enemy made out in barges to the number of 5000. up Mystic river, and landed on the left and back of our people, at the same time firing Charles town for q. concert. Landing and at | the same time firing on our people from ! floating batteries. they made a bold push on our troops, but were obliged to retreat several times; but at last | they forced our people from their en- trenchments and took possession of the I ocfn n6 seems, in some measure by our peo- | nle's lack of recruits and ammunition. But 1t appears they suffered a loss of l,0o0 slain, we lost about 10o"
