MINISTER GONE,
 FLOCK ALLEGES.
 LOSS OF FUNDS
Seek Warrant for Rev. MT. Garland, Formerly of
 Southport Church.
MISAPPROPRIATED #.
 MONEY OF PARISH
Wealthy Parishioners of Ex- elusive Georgetown Socie-
 ty Are Startled. /

Various persons in Georgetown are today mourning the disa ppearance of the Rev. John s. Garland, recently in stalled pastor of the Gilbert Memorial Congregational church and formerly pastor of the Southport M. E. church
 The disa appearance came the re- suit of investigation into several fnan- cia1 transactions conducted by the youthful minister, who married last summer after having procured the charge by changing his faith.
 A warrant sought yesterday morn ing in Georgetown, while all exits from the town were watched is believed to have been the impetus which caused Rev. Garland to take a train bound for Norwa1k. Although policemen were waiting at the Norwalk station, he did not alight and search in the intervening towns is being made to- day.
 The Gilbert Memorial church was completed last winter at a cost of about $40,0O0. Rev. MT. Garland was then preaching in Southport. He came to Georgetown as a candidate and his winning mannerisms and fine delivery at once appealed t othe con gPegational body. He was installed although it was later learned that he delivery at once appealed to the con- his preparation a Congrega ationaI minister. This amount $350 borrowed from the custody of the church he later agreed to repay in instalments. In the early part of last summer he married a Miss Barber, daughter of a wealthy New Yorker, living in the Georgetown district and he fur nished sum mptuousIy the rectory of the church. It has been discovered that. while most of the household furniture was obtained direct from Connery Brothers of Georgetown, some furni- Sture was made especially in New York, to his design. This amounted to $232, which his father-in-1aw Is said to have guaranteed payment up- on. It was later learned that a, check for the amount had been forwarded by charitably disposed persons through Rev. MT. Garland, but it never reaehed it's destination. In quiry into the cashing of this check led to the steps taken yesterday look ing toward the arrest of Garland.
 It is said that the financial transac- tions of Garland in Georgetown lead ing to his disappearance amount to approximately $2,O0O. His wife is grief stricken at her home. An audit of the accounts of the church have been begun. ee
 Rev. MT. Garland preached in the Southport Methodist church for more than year, having come from a church in Massachusetts. Though born in Canada, he is said to have graduated from Yale college and also to have taken an ecclesiastical" course in New Jersey. His financial opera Hons in Southport were extensive, aI- though little of a tangible nature can be learned of the transactions today.

Allies Still Pound
 German Battle Line

London, Sept. 29-The British are battering the third line of the Ger mans in the vicinity of Loos. The French are maintaining their offen- sive in Champagne. The Germans in the Argonne apparently have been unable to make important gains, and have refrained from infantry attacks. This sums up briefly the situation in the west as seen in London today.
 No great change in' conditions is shown, but England attaches high in importance to indications that the of fensive movement of the Allies is not to be relaxed, as was predicted in some quarters. A short breathing spell has been succeeded by the hardest pressure on German positions at points weakened or shattered by the Allied rush.
 That it is the intention to main tain this pressure is indicated by a. telegram from Field Marshal French to the lord mayor of London, thank ing him for his message of good will. The British commander added that the message encouraged his troops ito push the immediate success to a really decisive issue'' This leads the public to believe that there is, to be no stalemate such as followed the bat tie of Neuve Chapelle. but that, with new British forces in the field and ample supplies of amn unitiUns Gen. Joffre and Field Marshal French plan a real test whether German resistance in France and Belgium can be broken.
 Russia, though encouraged by the progress of her allies in the west, has

GREAT SPLIT IN FIFTH DISTRICT
 6. Q. P. VOTERS
Naylor and Blakeslee Co., horts Open Old Sore Nay
 Tor Says He Will Run.

"If you boys want me, I'll stand,
 was the statement made by Edward J. Naylor today and MT Naylor meant that he would oppose Robert N. Blakeslee for the Republican nomina- ton for alderman in the Fifth district if the members of the Fifth District Republican club want him. The atti- tude of MT. Naylor opens an old sore in the district and bears out the story that there is widespread disaffection in the Republican ranks.
 When Paul L. Miller was chosen judge of probate he was the alderman representing the Fifth district and had one year more to serve. He resigned and it was generally understood in the district that MT Nay1or would sue ceed him. On the assump ption that he had the backing of the district Repub- 1ican organization MT. Naylor made no effort to procure the place. Then MT. Blakes1ee became a candidate. He had the secret backing of Chairman Frank Ballard and later when MT. Bal lard incorporated his drug store so that as county commissioner he might grant himself a druggists liquor L- cense, MT. Blakeslee appeared as one of the incorporators.
 MT. BIakeslee is a candidate for the Repu blican nomina tion and has the backing of the district chairman. It is said. also that he has the backing. of those Republicans in the Fifth district who favor commission form of govern ment. fH@W
 On the other hand MT. Naylor, who is president of the district club, has the support of the Republican workers there. Despite Town Chairman Rob in5ons statement that all is harmony there will be a lively contest for the nomination in the district and it may develop that two delegate tickets will be nominated, one favor ing the administrat ton, the other for commission government and against the renonaination of Mayor Wilson and this in the district where the mayor has lived practically ever since he be- came a voter.

Scientific
Farming
SUCCESS FROM FERTILlzING.

Vegetable Matter and Nutrient Quail
ties Found In Stable Product.
The success from fertilizing is due to
two facts, the readiness with which
the fertilizer gives up its nutrient parts
and the ability Of the land to hold these
nutrient parts and keep them from
being washed away before taken up.
Loamy or SO called rich soils hold
their nutrient part in readiness because
there is sufficient vegetable matter to
make it light. This gives chance for
the air to aid the germs of fertilization
to increase and multiply, to prepare the
substances to be taken up by the
plants.
Heavy clay soil produces slowly until
the vegetable matter increases. Sandy
soils unless well supplied with vegeta-
BILE matter permit the fertilizer to filter
away beyond reach Of plant roots be-
fore the plants get all out of it.
For general purposes stable manures
give best results all around. They have
the vegetable matter as well as the nu-
TRENT qualities. In some kinds. such
as COW, sheep manures. etc.. the nu-
TRENT qualities are more quickly avail
able than In horse manure. Horse ma.
nures. as usually procurable, have q
tendency to be either all straw, which
Is more of mulch than a nutrient, OF
dry burned out, due to lack Of proper
