ASK MODIFICATION OF
GRAZING HOMESTEAD BILL
Sheep and CattIemen Appear Before
Senate Lands COMMITTEES.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Sheep and cat
tlemen from the western states have
urged the Senate lands committee to
feat the OF at least radically modify
the $40 acres grazing homestead bill.
which has has passed the House and is
now pending in the Senate.
DR.. E. w. McClue secretary Of the
National Wool Growers Association of
Salt Lake City, Utah, said it would
be impracticaDIe for man on $40
acres to raise a single sheep because
the tract was so small, he could not
employ a herder and too large to en-
close with wire netting to keep out
coyotes. Catt1emen, he said, would
suffer more from isolated homesteads
than shee men.
E. H Crabb of Flagstaff, Ariz.,
representing the Arizona cattle grow
ers' association, urged that II the bill
were passed it would be amended so
as to require enough dry crop Guilt
walton to carry the animals grazed
during the summer through the winter
He argued that the bill would entice
mechanics and foreigners to the lands
when they did not have a chance to
make living because of their igno-
rance of grazing problems.

day night about o'clock, but not Sc
riously hurt, while he was driving the
company's delivery wagon on Mt.
Pleasant street near the Grace Me-
mortal Baptist church.
The bullet, came from an unknown
source, and was probably a BIB shot
from an air rifle fired at random in
the neighborhood, though nobody
could be found Saturday night who
would admit using such weapon.
With his younger brother, George.
on the seat beside him Mr.. Hollings-
worth was driving up the hill at this
point just short distance above the
church when shot, like the noise
from the discharge of an air rifle was
heard. Immediately young Hollings-

putting his hand to his face found the

LEGAL SETTLEMENT BY
FOUR YEARS RESIDENCE
Attorney General Makes Ruling APP
plying to Care of INDECENT Insane.

Attorey General George E. Hin
man gave an opinion on Friday to Dr.
c. F. Haviland, superintendent of
the Connecticut Hospital for the In
pertance to. every town in the state.
fhe opinion defines the distinction be-
tween e. legal residence and a legal
settlement. A person has legal res
idence in the town in which he has
home and place of dwelling. II re-
quires a four years continuous resi-
deslce in town to obtain a settle
ment
IN his opinion the attorney general
says in Part:
IN your recent favor you ask my
opinion as 10 the distinction between
a legal residence and legal settle
ment as affecting the liability of a
town for the maintenance of patient
in the Connecticut Hospital for the
Insane.
The general responsibility of towns
for the support at town expense of
persons having no estate and no re-
lations of sufficient ability who are
obliged by law to support them, has
been clearly established by our
statutes and judicial decisions there
under, and has been fully considered
in previous opinions by this depart
melit.
A person is a resident of and there
| fore has a legal residence in the town
| in which he has his home and place
of dwelling. The test of residence
| Is the mere fact of presence in g
| town as the fixed and permanent
| dwelling place of the person.
A person has his settlement in the
town upon which it is incumbent
| under our laws, to support him If he
becomes a pauper. The town to which
| a person belongs" that is in which he
has his legal settlement, is required
by statute (Sec. 2476) to provide fol
and support him if he be in necessi-
| tous circumstances whether he re-
sides in said town or in some Other
town in the state. This distinction
| is unimportant, however, as affecting
| liability to the Connecticut Hospita
| for the Insane for support of {
patient. Under the provisions o.
chapter 1876 of the public acts OF
| 1905, in the case of pauper, tht
town whose selectman applies for hi.
commitment is made liable for the
| share Of the expense Of his support
provided by law to be paid by the
| town.
| II the town of which the person
| committed as an INDECENT wa.
| found in the proceeding of commit.
mont to be a resident Is not the towr
| in which he has legal settlement
| the former town may. under said act
ct tain reimbursement for it's ex.
penditures on his account from tht
town to which he is legally charge
able, but this question of settlement
| in no way affects the primary liza.
| bility to the hospital as fixed by
statute.

BODY NEVER RECOVERED
No Trace of Samuel w. Lewis, Swept
Overheard New Years Day-Watsr-
ford Family Mourns.

The body of Samuel W. Lewis, son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Wellington Lewis, of
Waterford, who was swept overheard
from a tow while in New York har-
peared, as far as known by his family.
The young mans father was in Ill
health during the fall, and the son
had become the mainstay OF the fam
lily.
His father had gone to New York
to spend the holiday with sister-in-
law, and the son had breakfast and
dinner there, his father walking to the
subway with him, expecting to see him
the following day. Instead messen-
ger came to Mr.. Lewis, telling him Of
the tragedy.
The tug was out OF sight Of land,
and the tide was strcng; SO that the
young mans friends fear his body has
never come to the surface and they
will never know Just how he came 10
snowy about o'clock that morning.
The young mans work was on the tug,
but as they were short-handed about
the holiday season, he was helping out
on the tow Of barges.
To add to the grief of his mother,
when his clothing and effects were
brought home, in one pocket there
were two letters which he had writ
ten to the home folks, but had not
had a chance to mail.
Neighbors and friends pay the high
est tribute to the young man as an
exemplary son and brother, Only a
few weeks before he met his death, he
was with his aunt at church in New
York, and they remained for the after
meeting. His aunt inquired If young
Mr.. Lewis did not want to go forward
for prayers. His reply was: II am a
Christian! I was converted UP at the
Gilead chapel"
Mr.. Lewis's family has had scores
Of sympathetic messages and calls
from friends and acquaintances, all
speaking in the highest terms of
praise of the young mans fine char
acter, and these affectionate words
have done much to soften the blow to
them and to console his sorrowing
mother, who has almost grown to fear
that the sea viii never give up the
badly of her beloved son.

WHEAT AND Cookie
Permitted to Flourish Together Until
Gods Own Time-Sermon by Rev.
j. n. Broderick.

The parable OF the wheat and the
cookie, as narrated in Matt. XIII. "a so,
was the gospel for the day--the fifth
Sunday after Epithany-read in the
masses in the Catholic churches yes
terday. At the '7.90 mass in st. Pat
ricks church, the rector, Rev. John
H. Frederick, made the parable the
theme of his brief instruction.
In this world, the preacher said, It
is often difficult for men to reconcile
the flourishing of the wicked with the
promises of God that sin inevitably
brings punishment. The gospel signi-
fies by the wheat, those just souls who
devote their years to living in accord
with Gods commands. The cookie,
on the other hand, typiies those who
apparently live only to offend God;
public sinners. whose actions are a
scandal. Such offenders may have
every worldly advantage, may come
of good families, but they wilfully dis
obey those laws which the Almighty
has made for mans guidance ana con-
duct.
That they are not punished at once
for their evil-doing is because Coos
ways are not mans ways. Oftertimes
wonder Is expressed that they are per-
mitted to continue in their sinful ca
reers. But it is not for men to judge,
since God alone has the disposition OF
the reward of the just and the sinner.
In His own good time He will order,
as did the Master OF the parable, the
manner OF the disposal OF cookie as
well as wheat. Il bef1ooves US all to
SO live that the seed OF Gods word in
our hearts may grow and flourish AZ
wheat rendering us worthy to be ga
thered into His eternal mansions.
There were many hundreds OF COM
municants at this early mass. incfud-
ing the members OF the Young La
dies Sodality and immaculate Com
ception Society, so that Father Brod-
erick required the assistance Of Rev.
Myles p. Calvin In giving the Holy
Eucharist.
