More than half the delegates had
left the hall when State Chairman
Alger Melton stepped to the front Of
the stage and proposed that Wood and
Capshaw get together and agree on q
man for president Prior to this
Capshaw had submitted the name of
Ray q. Weems, a Wood supporter. for
the place. but Woods Muskogee
friends refused to agree to Weems,
who has served one term as pres-
dent. The Muskogee delegation sent
Wood back with Instructions to with
draw in favor of c. J. Gallaher of Wag-
oner and no one else. This brought
about another deadlock. Melton
proposed that the friends of Wood
and Capshaw permit the two candi-.
dates TO arrive at their own conclu-
sions. Tho crowd. tired out with the
afternoons excitement, readily agreed
to this proposition. After ten min
utes the candidates returned with the
name of Clarence Markham of Pryor
Creek. The latter was elected by
accla nation. Markham and his del

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 MAKES BIG GAINS Semi. official Statement Shows In crease in Passenger Receipts.

A semi official statement concerning the New Haven roads conditions says:
 If the New Haven railroad can avoid too great a glut Of freight, it should keep expenses and equipment rentals down to a fairly satisfactory level this winter and be able to care for a larger volume of travel over it's line to its advantage. During the first ger receipts of both the New Haven and the Boston & Maine showed nota- ble advances.
 Boston & Maine's passenger earn ings ran 12 to 14 per cent. better than during the corresponding period in 1915, while New Haven's were about 10 per cent. ahead. New Haven's pas senger traffic is relatively its most profitable department. A recent com pilation shows passenger expenses to be much less onerous in proportion to aggregate revenues than the roads freight shipments.
 For the year to June 30 last, for in stance, $37,446.000 came from carry ing freight, while the expenses (eX- elusive of car hire) that were related solely to freight service amounted to SPA, 051, ,000, or 64.23 per cent. of freight revenues. On the other hand, ex- penses related solely to passenged and allied services reached $1S,S62, 900, or only 47.2S per cent. of the s33. 900 revenues other than freight.
 N6W Haven now naS fl ,UUU IfelS Tt cars on it's rails. This is more than a few weeks since. but well below the rising 55,000 of last February, and ev- cry effort is being made to avoid con- gestion. The management has decided to follow the recommendation of the American Railway association and file a tariff substantially raising its gen. cral demurrage charges for detention of freight cars. Against the present charge of S1 per day after AS hours free time, S3 for the next, and S4 fer the next and s5 per day thereafter.
 During the first three weeks of Oc- tober New Haven recorded sornewha i more than per cent. gain in freight gross over 1915, and about per cent. gain in total revenues. From July l it's gross was about 12 per cent. above 1915.
 Subject to anticipated approval of the issue by the Connecticut Public Utilities commission, arrangerlcn1 s have been made for a sale of tho S100,000 debentures just authorized, carryin@ : per cent. interest 10 the citv- Of New Haven. Proceeds will be used for building a new passenger station there.

At the Federated church Sunday morning Rev. A. w. Burdon delivered an interesting and instructive sermon on the subject Our Obligations. The text was taken from Heb. 2-3, How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation:"
 Rev. MT. Burdon said in part:
 This question may mean much or little to us. Its content will depend altogether on the view we take upon the Deity, and the rcdemptional quail ties of Christ.
 I am concerned nightly on this question, and believe that every think ing Christian should at once take up the thought even though the thinkin g may be limited to off moments.
 Instead of arianism which has gone, the equivalent to it is here in the modern agnosticlsln. ----i -@.r- ..-. -.,. .
 There may be g reason for such n condition in the fact that the leaders of the church are so concerned with the practical work. so busy with large affairs, that they do not realize the ma ture of the attack.
 But the men of the ranks, the men facing the situation, are realizing that the layer of ice we are ska ting upon is very thin. Tn such critical times as these there need to a very definite statement of our beliefs and read justment of our views ill regard to the Deity of our Lord. and the place He holds in the plan of redemption. The humanitarian concept ton oi Jesus Christ is wrong. Not only ir theory, but in feeling also, with the feeling more poisonous than the the ory.
 The manhood of Christ is not that of a human person. All the personality of our Lord He brought with Him into human existence. He takes on an ad- ditiOn a human addition
 The Christian value of this view is very great, for it means that the hu- man nature of our Lord will never come to personal emphasis, never come to triumph, but will always stand out for the Redeemed as evil dence of the sacrifice the Son of God made for mans salvation.
 From these passages I am going to touch on St. PauPs conception of "The Humiliation of the Kenosis." Reading In St. Paul's epistle to the Philippians second chapter, 5-S.

POULTNEY BIGELOW SAYS
 ASSERTION IS FALSE
Does Not Believe That American Ma val Officers Assisted Prussians.

After he was graduated from Nor
 wich Free Academy, in 1873, Poultney
 Bigelow made a trip around the
 world; and in a New York paper he
 narrates this incident in his experi-
 ence:
 It cannot be true that American na-
 val officers assisted Prussian subma-
 rines in their dirty work outside of
 Newport. No doubt Washington will
 soon clear up this ambiguous affair.
 Meanwhile pray permit me to add my
 mite of testimony regarding the atti- tude of Great Britain in 1898 when Imperial Germany sided with Spain and sought to bully our gallant Dew ey in Manila.
 The tale of how the British Cap tain Chichester stood up with our ad-
 miral against the German admiral has been told before-and finally by Ad-
 miral Dewey himself. This story I checked step by step in Manila by conversation not merely with our own admiral and his British colleague but | by other participants in that memora- l. | ble fight. Moreover, the British au | thorities in Hongkong. although legal l ly neutral, interpreted their duties in | the manner most favorable to the American ships, and Dewey found nc l difficulty in fitting out to the best ad- vantage prior to steaning across to ] the enemy in the Philippines. And i as the Yankee fleet steamed past that 1 of England in Hongkong the British 1 bluejacketS manned the riggine and 1 cheered us heartily-a most unneutral | and yet most generous act.
 1 After the war I found myself ir l Cheefoo waiting an answer from the | Russian commander at Port Arthur, tc
 whom I had applied for permission to 1 cross Siberia. The Palace revolution | was in full swing at Peking and the | fleets of the great powers controlled
 every bucket of coal in the treaty ports.
 Then it was that our Consul Fowler r2n up and down the streets of Chee- l foo wringing his hands and begging 1 for few tons of coal-but not a lump 1 could he buy. He showed me the ca l bic in which he was ordered to coa1
 our cruiser, expected every moment
 on a hurry call to protect American | told me he could do nothing-money i could not buy an ounce of coal. | Nonsense, said ]. the British ad-
 n1iral has plenty Of coal."

 gether we concocted the cable tc
 which in an hour came the joyfu

 that no bill would ever be sent by | John Bull.

AGED WOMAN
Run Down and FeebIe-Made
 Strong by Vinol


 So many people in Norwich and vicinity are in Mrs. Wickersham's condition we ask you to call at our store and get bottle of Vinol, and if 1t falls to benefit we will return your money.
 In her eighty-second year Mrs. John Wickershan, of Russellvil1e, Pa., says: T was in a run down, feeble condition and had lost flesh. A neighbor asked me to try Vinol, and after taking two bottles my strength returned; I am gaining in flesh, it has built up my health and I am feeling fine for a woman of my age, so I get around and do my housework."
 The reason Vinol was so successful in Mrs. Wickershan's case was be- cause 1t contains beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese pepto- mates and glycerophosphates, the very elements needed to build up a weak ened rundown system and create strength.
 Right here in Norwich we have seen such excellent results from Vinol that it is a pleasure to know 1t Is doing so much good for old people in other parts of the country.
 Broadway Pharmacy, q. c. Engler, Proprietor, Norwich. Vinol is sold in Wfllimantic by the Wilson Drug Co.,, in Danielson by the A. W. Williams Pharmacy, and in Putnam by J. F. Donahue. Also at the leading drug stores in all Connecticut towns

 The legislative program of this fourth and last period of the present parliament's existence further includes the old age pensions bill, which has the most perflous part of its journey still before it in the first chamber, as well as bills to set up a semi-elective, advisory colonial council in the Meth erlands East Indies, to so amend the Indian administrative regulations as to make the projected introduction of European and later native conscrip- tion permissible and to enclose the Zuyder Zee and drain large portions of it. The budget will also claim a good part of the states general atten- ton, accompanied as 1t is with various new tax proposals that aim at help ing the treasury to bear the continued heavy burdens of mobilization and other war crisis expenditures.

this:
 First. Being originally and contin- ually subsisting in the essential form of God, our Lord had an interest right to enjoy the actual manner of life or the transcendent experience of God.
 Second. But this transcerdent di- vine experience he would not cling to regardless; but gave it up as an act of redemptional humiliation.
 Third. This impoverishment of him self was not all. There was Sanother stage of humiliation in the fact that he took on the servile essential form of being which men have, and then lived the actual life of man.
 Fourth. And there was a third stage of humiliation for our Saviour obedi- ently lived this actual life of a man down to the experience of death.
 Fifth. And this third stage of hu- initiation was emphasized by the suf- fering and ignominy of crucifxion. Here is what I want to lay emphasis upon. Our Saviour did not achieve manhood by reduction of his Deity. Truly he became man, but after he had become man he had every divine ca pacity, every divine power and every divine attribute.
