New Haven, June Reinforcement without much delay according to mes sages received here. Chicago reports the arrival there of the first bat talion of the Fifth Massachusetts h. fantry which passed through this city about 10 a. n1., Tuesday. The Connecticut Field Hospital and Am- bulance Company's section was at the local station at the same time and at 11:30 last night it was at Buffalo. Three sections of the Second Infantry went through Harrisburg, Pa, ever the Pennsylvania road between 10 D. m., and last midnight; Troop B is crossing Ohio today, and the First In- fantry will probably be reported west of Buffalo today.
 Word comes that Connecticut men are in good health and spirits and .are settling down to make the most of their surroundings. The work hours on trains are being used by company commanders to give their men instruction from the manuals. men instruction from the manuals. Off, ficers are taking their spare time for Obstruction in Spanish, and talks on strategy and combat formations. On every train the hours of the day are scheduled for specific duties and with every man busy the time goes by quickly.
 Second Regiment in Ohio.
 The first section of the Second Connecticut Infantry train Is in Ohio this afternoon. The second and tNird sections are now running about four hours behind the first section, on which Col. McCabe and staff and Major Isbell and his battalion.
 The first section left Pittsburgh at 7 a. m, for Chicago via Fort Wayne, Ind. The train stopped at State Line, between Pennsylvania and Ohio at 8:53. At some point further on in Ohio it is expected the trains will stop to allow the men to exercise. They will probably have calisthenics as the quickest way to Timber them up.
 The morning report to the medical officer, Major Hugo, indicated that all the men are well. Vaccination on both arms is about completed. No i'll effects of this has been indicated.
 When the first section stopped on the state line the train was in both states. The first section was at AL hance, Ohio, shortly before noon.

Great Influences at Work

It is believed considerable influence must have been exerted on Carran2a by South American governments, American interests with investments in Mexico, and Mexican leaders who con- ferred with President Gompers of the American Federation of Labo" here yesterday MT. Gompers sent a mes sage to CarranZa personally appeal jog for action to prevent a breah. One American company with interests IT. Mexico is reported to have spent sever al Hundred dollars on cablegrams and tefegrams to the de facto government of1ciS1s during the last few days.
 sa3resident Wilson considered the sit uation sufficiently relieved today to plan a trip to Philadelphia, where he was to address the Associated Adver- Using clubs of the World this after noon.
 General Funston advised the war department early today of the de- spatch received by him last night from Gen. Bell saying that Consul Garcia had informed him at El Paso of the order for the release of the Amer1- can troopers interned by the Carranza authorities at Chihuahua City. No in formation had been received from other sources than Mexican.
 The despatch merely said that Con- sul Garcia had telephoned General Bell that the soldiers had been ordered freed and were enroute last night from Chihuahua to Juarez at which point they were expected to arrive this morning.
 Immediate Break Improbable
 Danger of an immediate break with the de facto government had been re- lieved last night by press despatches saying the prisoners had been started for the border from Chihuahua City. Until Carranza replies to the demand for a statement of his attitude toward the American expedition in Mexico to protect the border, however, the crisis is only less imminent than it was before.
 High officials of the administration let it be known that the United States would proceed with it's military opera tions to adequately safeguard it's cit izens and territory and would con- tinue to pursue bandits in Mexico whenever there was hope of overtak- ing them, regardless of any action Mexican military commanders may take.
 Secretary Baker carried to the White House early copy of Consul Garcias message to Gen. Bell at El Paso stating that the men were en- route to the border last night. Soon afterward came the despatch from MT. Rodgers. Eliseo ArredOndO, the Mexican ambassador designate, was advised by Foreign Minister Aguilar in Mexico City of bis governments action.

FOX HEALTH PLAN
TO Be INSTALLED
At AN EARLY DATE
Medical Society, After Hot
Discussion, Unanimously
Votes to Install Health
System

At the meeting of the Jefferson County
Medical society held last night unani-
nous vote for the adoption of the Fox
unified health plan for an all-time city
and county health officer was passed.
The vote came after a heated discussion
in which many members took part There
were two reports submitted, the report
signed by DR.. Thomas d. Parke being the
one that was adopted.
At the meeting of the medical society
two weeks ago the committee of health
recommended that the medical society,
complying with the law of 1915, make
recommendations to the board of revenue
that they enter upon their records a res
olution for the installation of the all-time
heath system In order to install this
system it becomes necessary for the pres
ent health officers to resign. The recon-
mendation of the committee of health was
voted down and was followed by a second
defeat last Monday night when the med
ical society voted to defer any action with
the board of revenue until the term of
the present county health officer should
expire, which would delay the unified
health system until the last of Janu-
airy.
Following the discussions last night the
report and recommendation adopted pro-
vide that the medical society recommend
to the board of revenue that the Fox
unified health system be put into effect
as soon as practicable. While the meas
ure was fought with considerable stub
bornness by several members, there was
not a dissenting vote when the question
was put,
Recommendation to the board OF reve-
nue. for the installation of the Fox sys-
tenn will be made within the next few
days. 1t is stated that the city is ready
for the adoption of the new system at
any time the county is ready, the only
drawback being the effort to postpone
the change until the expiration of the
term of the county health officer.

IS MADE
ON SHOOTING Of
IRISH CITIZENS
Commission Investigating
Skeffington Affair During
Rebellion Adds to Eng
lish Officers Blame

London, October 16.-The commission
appointed to inquire into the shooting of F.
bellion in Ireland has reported there was
no good ground for complaint against
the action of Lieutenant Morris, who
caused Skeffington to be detained and
sent to the barracks. The commission
describes Capt. Bowen Colthursts action
in taking Skeffington from the barracks
into the street as a hostage, as re
markable almost meaningless"
None of the evidence offered it, the
committee reports, afforded any justifi-
cation for the shooting of the boy Coade.
Concerning Skeffington's execution, the
report says:
1T is a delusion to suppose that the
proclamation of martial law confers upon
an officer any right to take human life
in circumstances where this would not be
justified without such proclamation and
this decision had tragic consequences in
the present case
The commission reported that it was
satisfied that the seriousness of the ir-
regularity committed by Capt. Bowen
Colthurst was not fully realized by those
under whose command he was supposed
to be acting. Capt. Bowen-Colthurst was
not reprimanded effectively and the civil
ians detained were not rendered more Sc
cure with the result, the report says, that
Bowen-C olthurst was at liberty next
morning to override or disregard the Of
ficer of the guard and deal with civilian
prisoners as he pleased.
The commission found also that Capt
Bowen-Colthurst added to the documents
found Skeffingtons body in an en-
deavor to excuse his action, a document
entitled secret orders to the military"
which the commission found was forg-
cry from beginning to end.
Apart from the defense of insanity,
the commissioners state: There can be
no excuse or palliation for Capt Bowen
Colthurst's conduct from first to last
In addition to F. Sheehy Skeffington
Fred McIntre and Thomas Dickson were
put to death at the orders of Capt.
Bowen-C olthurst. The captain later was
courtmartialed and found guilty. but de-
clared insane.

HATRED OF TRUTH

Many people do not believe the Bible
because of their hatred of the truth. Old
arguments are rehatched and believed be-
cause people want an excuse not to be-
lieve and obey. If you don't want to
know the truth, you will never believe it.
God will not trifle with man.
Did you ever see man open the eyes
of the blind, still the storm, raise the
dead? Jesus did this, and Jesus is either
an impostor or the Son of God. You
cannot deny His divinity. You cannot
deny the resurrection. If you do you are
damned. Search the scriptures
DR.. Wright, with a thorough knowledge
of the Bible, Illustrated the truth of his
every statement by quotations from the
Holy Book, and his deductions were so
logical as to be inspiring and convincing.
BEAUTIFUL SOLO
At the close of his sermon as is his
custom, DR.. Wright sang a beautiful solo,
the words of which were in keeping with
the subject of his discourse. His rich
baritone voice filled the church edifice
and marvelously touched the hearts of
his congregation.
The services will continue. This morn
ing at 1880 there will be a womans
prayer meeting at the church to which all
the women of the city are invited. At
