 Pope Benedict expressed the hope that the initiative for peace would come from Austria and pledged him self to support such a proposal with all the influence of the Holy Sea.

LEE SILENT TODAY
 ON CRAFT CHARGE AGAINST ALDERMEN
Ex- Mayor Startles Voters By Sensational Speech
 Raps Administration.

Henry Lee former mayor and for
 mer county commissioner, who made I a startling charge that he believed
 aldermen got graft from paving con-
 tracts and that because of this belief 1 he was instrumental in having creat- 1 ed the paving and sewer commission,
 said to-day that just now he was not anxious to go further into the gen eraI statements he made last night. l MT. Lee was invited to speak at a 1 meeting of the newly formed coInIaiS-
 sion government league in the board of trade rooms, last evening. He
 startled the gathering when he made the declaration involving aldermen
 whose names he did not give. Asked if he would go further into
 the matter at this time, he told The 1 Farmer to-day:
 There is more that could. say, but
 Just now I don't care to add to what
 I said last night"
 MT. Lee explained that he attended l the meeting to become better in kforned on the matter of commission
 government and that he did not ex- pect to be called upon to speak. But
 when he was invited to address the
 gathering he spoke of his personal
 experiences in public life and in pass ing. on the creation of the pacing and sewer commission.
 He said in part:
 | Br1QgepOrTS charter mas been so amended and safeguarded that do not believe that there is any actual taking of money at the present time.
 tBut I do believe that at one time certain aldermen were getting graft i money from paving contracts. So certain was Of this, that even took I up the matter with the late Stiles
 Judson, who was then states attor-
 ney. The necessary legal evidence was not forthcoming.J and so the mat ter never reached the stage of indict- ments.
 None the less was morally so certain of what was going on that at the next session of the legislature I I asked for the creation of the paving
 and sewer commission to take the 1 paving work out of the hands of the aldermen This charter amendment
 was granted and with splendid re- suits Brldgeport's paving work was
 supervised most efficiently by this body of competent and disinterested
 citizens. But lately, because the
 members refused to be domineered by a man who knows less about paving than any member of the board, it has
 been practically legislated out of of flee. You are all familiar with that
 phase of the situation ?

It now only remains for his cleo ton to be sanctioned by the house of bishops, as prescribed by the canons. After the convention it was said that the explanation of MT. Acheson's vic tory lay in the fact that a majority of the clergy decideds upon a Con necticut man for suffragan bishop, and, therefore, withdrew their sup port of other candidates to enable MT. Acheson to defeat MT. Mou1ton, who led on the first two ballots
 Rev. Edward Campion Acheson has been rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Middletown, for twenty th rec years. MT. Acheson is 56 years old, and was born at Woolwich, Eng land, later removing to Canada where he was graduated from Wyckliffe College, Toronto. He was also grad uated from the University of New York with the degree of Master of Arts. He was ordained June 16, 1888, by Bishop A. Sweatrnan of To- ronto. He is married and has three children.
 A close friend yesterday spoke es- pecially of MT. Acheson's generosity saying that during his service in the Episcopal ministry he has given al- most wholly, if not the full amount of his salary to help others, and that he has done inestinab1e service among the poor of his parish. MT. Acheson is a member of St. Johns Lodge, F. and A. M. Midd1etown, and has served as grand chaplain of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut for that order.
 Mr. Acheson's executi1e ability is recognized throughout the state. In his connections with the Episcopal church he has been chairman of the commission on the church pension fund, vice-president or the Sunday school auxiliary to the board of mis- sions, a member of the committee on general missioMs, deputy to the gen era1 convention, elected in 1913, and an ex-officio trustee of the berkeley Divinity School at Midd1etown, be- sides holding other positions and Ndu- ties of equal importance.
