Three matters Of capital Importance
await the action of the Senate which
have already been acted upon by the
House OF Representatives: the bill
which seeks to extend greater freedom
OF combination to those engaged in
promoting the foreign commerce of
the country than is now thought by
some to be legal under the terms of
the laws against monopoly; the bill
amending the present organic law of
Porto Rico; and the bill proposing q
more thorough and systematic regula-
ton Of the expenditure Of money in
elections. commonly called the Corrupt
Practices Act. need not labor my
advice that these measures be enacted
into law. Their urgency lies in the
manifest circumstances which render
their adoption at this time not only
opportune but necessary. Even delay
would seriously leopard the interests
of the country and Of the government

Immediate passage of the bill to
regulate the expenditure of money in
elections may seem to be less neces-
sary than the immediate enactment of
the other measures to which I refer;
because at least two years will elapse
before another election In which fed-
eral offices are to be filed; but It
would greatly relieve the public mind

FUNERALS.
Sarah Minerva Potter.
(Contributed,)

The body of Mrs. Sarah N. Potter,
wife of Edmund A. Potter of Stoning-
ton, was laid to rest in Evergreen
cemetery, Stonington, Monday after
noon, April II, 1916. Impressive fu-
neral services were held in the First
Baptist church, of which she had been
a member for twentynine years.
She was born in Griswold July l.
1868, the daughter of Abram and Re
becca Sheldon Wilcox. During her
more than thirty years residence If
Stonington she was known and re-
spected for her exemplary life and
good works.
For several months Mrs. Potter had
been a great sufferer, but withal pa
tient and accomplishing. She loved
God, and this was the secret of her
love for her home, her church and her
Bible school where she was a true
wife, a consistent member and q
faithful teacher.
Thoughtfulness for others was her
characteristic and to those in sorrow
OF in need of any kind, she was ready
to serve, when a less heroic soul would
have faltered.
Her death is mourned by a wide civ

DELAY IN PLANS
FOR MILITIA CAMP.
Gen. Cole Has Received No Reply to
Letters Sent to War Department.


Whether the Connecticut National
guard will go TO camp at Mantle this
summer or be sent elsewhere for ma
neuvers with the regular troops is a
question that has not been settled yet,
according to Adjutant General Cole.
The army bill that is now before con-
Cress is responsible for the delay in
making plans for the militia summer
work. Until the army bill is disposed
of and appropriations contingent are
made, the Connecticut militiamen will
not know what duty they will be as
signed to.
Gen. Cole said that he had written
10 the war department asking for in
formation regarding plans for the sum-
mr. work of the militia, but he has re-
ceived no word yet about the program.
Gen. Cole said that usually the militia
men got their orders ahead OF this
time of the year, so that they can ar
range for their vacations to fit in with
the period that they are away with
their companies. Many OF the militia
officers have been writing to Gen. Cole
to find out what is going to be done.
Gen. Cole said that he realizes hat
the delay is making is announcement
for many men in the militia, but he
does not want to make an order for
the troops to go to Mantle If the war
department is going to order something
else after the army bill is disposed Of
| Gen. Cole believes the whole matter
will be settled definitely in a few days
anyway.
It has been generally supposed that
the Mantle enampments were a thing
of the past beyond all doubt, and any
| be a surprise, II is thought more like
/ ly strenuous maneuvers will be or
dered and that they may stretch over
a period OF two weeks.
