MORE INTENSIVE
 EVANGELICAL EFFORT Is the Thing Urged Upon 5aPtists by President Nicholson at State Con- Vention.

Nearly 400 Baptists from all parts of Connecticut were in Middletown Tues day for the sgd annual state conven- tion.
 The report of the treasurer, Charles Edward Prior. of Hartford, showed to- tal receipts for the year from the churches of $7.e11.s0, the largest sum ever received from this source.
 More intensive evangelical effort was urged by Edward K. Nicholson of Bridgeport in his address as president. MT. Nicholson was unable to be pres ent. and his address was read by Rev. Edgar R. Hyde. pastor of the First Baptist church. where the sessions are being held.
 President Nicholson called attention to the present prosperity of the church and warned his hearers that in such prosperity there was the danger that a Iessening of individual work might come.
 The decreasing tide of immigration, he said, due to war conditions in Eu- rope offered opportunity for much more thorough evangelical work than heretofore among those immigrants who take up a residence in this state, He also advocated the singling out oi certain localities for more intensive evangelical work.
 Rev. Frederick Lent of New Haven was elected president. Other officers elected were: Vice presidents. Charles P. Walker. New Haven, and Rev. Hor- ace B. Sloat, Waterbury; secretary Rev. A. B. Goats. Hartford; treasurer Charles F. Prior. Hartford; auditor, C Hadiai Hull, New London.
 Trustees were elected as follows: For three years, Hadlai A. Hull, New Loncon, W. J. Grippin, Bridgeport. w J. Strivitcx. Middletown, H. A. Ship icy, Waterbury w. H. Douglass, New Haven. H. H.

CHARGES AGAINST TAeeART
 DISMISSED BY COURT.
Cases of More Than a Hundred Others Also Charged With Conspiracy Put Over to Dec. i.

Indianapolis. Oct. 1e.-The case afainst Thomas Taggart, democratic national committeeman for Indiana. charged with election conspiracy. was dismissed by Special Judge W. IT. EichEorn in criminal court today on the motion of Prosecutor A. J. Fucker. The cases of the more than one hum dred other men who were indicted with Taggart and Mayor Joseph E. Bell were put over to Dec. 1. Mayor Bell was acquitted by a jury last Wednes- day after a trial lasting more than five weeks.
 Prosecutor Rucker in moving to dis miss the case against Taggart stated mat the testimony of witnesses in the Bel case affecting Taggart was much weaker than the testimony they gave before the grand jury. Paul Hagen, financial agent of a local brewing conn pany. Rucker said, testified before the grand jury that he gave Taggart S75O during the 1914 campaign which was not accounted for in the report of the treasurer of the democratic county cnmmittee. Hagan. the prosecutor con- tinued, changed his testimony just be- fore he took the witness stand in the Bell case. and there testified that he ic Headquarters. In view of this change of testimony. Fucker said he did not believe the evidence sufficient to convict Taggart, and for that req son he moved to dismiss the charge against Taggart.
 When this motion was sustained by Judge Eichhorn, Prosecutor Rucker requested that the other cases be post poned until Dec. 1st to give his office time to clear up the criminal docket and t3 reorganize the election conspir- acy cases. and this was granted The court then postponed passin sentence of James H. (Bud) Gibson ana Ernest Roeder. who pleaded guilty and testified for the state, until Dee l. Similar action was taken in the cases of John W. Lee and Robert Board by James A. Collins. judge of the criminal court. Lee and Board plead ed guilty before Judge Collins before the defendants took a change of venue to Judge Eichhorn.
