 Admiral Goodrich to Retain Pon1fre,
 Home.
 Through friend, Robert Harris also of Pomfret, Admiral Caspar F Goodrich makes it clear that he is not to give up his Ponfret home, an i'm pression that has gained wide credence through newspaper stories published in aR number of large eastern cities.
 The stories relative to Admiral Good rich leaving Pomfret followed close upon his recent marriage, after which it was announced that he was going tc California.
 Admiral Goodrich is quoted as say ing that he intends to retain his home in Pomfret, legally, officially and as q voter; that he intends to spend muct of his time there, going and comine as his interests may require, and that he will always remain a Connecticut man.
 This Is pleasant news to many here, abouts who had taken as accurate the stories that he was to go permanently away from Pomfret.

 Christmas Tree Night. Tuesday night was Christmas tree night at the Windham county home for children in the Sawyer district. This event of special interest to the eight little people was one of delight. The tree was set up in the spacious room designed originally for a school room, and gathered there with the hap- | py little people were friends of the in- stitution in numbers. The Christmas tine and the state held no happier set of children than those at the home when the incidents of the even- ing had been brought to close and the children had been laden with Related Gifts Distributed. Late arriving Christmas gifts had accumulated in such quantities at the postofice Tuesday morning that it was necessary to send out a vehicle for delivery. With the extra workers and I the extra space in which they were given to operate, the greatest volume of holiday mail matter in the history of the office was handled by Post master Gilman's force witr care and l despatch, giving excellent satisfaction l to the people of the city.

MILK PRopucERs, MEETING.
important Gathering to Be Held Sat- urday to Decide AfHiiation With New England Association.

County Agent B. W, Ellis of the Windham County Farmers association was giving attention Tuesday to ar engagements for the mass meeting of morning at 10 o'clock to discuss the matter of affiliating with the New England Milk Producers association.
 This meeting probably will be held iE Odd Fellows hall, but announce ment on this point could not be made definitely Tuesday.
 The meeting is an all-important one to milk producers and the number gathered here will probably exceed the attendance at any farmers meeting ever held in this city.
 The meeting here has been called by the New England Milk Producers association, and just what part the Windham County Farmers association will take in the movement, as an or ganization, will be discussed by off, cials of it today, it is understood. In- dlvidually, however, the farmers are anxious to hear all that is to be said
 on a proposition that at first glance looks mighty attractive and gives promise of developing much of benefit tc them.
 Secretary Richard Pattee of the N. E. M. P. association, in a letter re- ceived Tuesday by MT. Ellis, states that he is sending here as the speaker LOT odIuTudy $ IleeIlnS S. IL. EmDr60, che Of the best informed men, as to the cost of milk production, and scores of other details of the business, in New England. MT.

Ar l ra judgements will be such as to provide comfortable meeting place for all who come to the meeting. which, it is expected, will witness the affiliation of farmers in this county with a move ment that will bring 10000 of them into active organization in one day next Saturday,.
 While the meeting is being held here similar meetings will be in session in

COUNTY JAIL CONDITIONS
Should Be Investigated by State Sui frasists, According to Notice Sen, Out by State Association.

That suffragists who are members of eastern Connecticut leagues have their attention directed to a matter that is interesting the state organization, Mrs. W. J. Bartlett gave out the following statement Tuesday afternoon:
 The attention of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association is called by the president and the members of the executive board to the report is- sued this week by the Civic Federation of New Haven on the condition of the county jail in that city. The report was made by O. F. Lewis, secretary of the Prison association of New York, and Hastings H. Hart, director of the child helping bureau of the Russell Sage Foundation. Its revelations con- cern not only the bad sanitary condi- tion of the jail, and certain features of mal- administration, but also the hope lessness of the system on which the county jail is conducted. The atten- ton of the suffragists is directed chief ly to the conditions under which wonn er are imprisoned, and especially to the fact that voting girls and women accused Of crimes of which they may afterwards be found entirely innocent, and women and girls imprisoned mere ly for safe keeping as material wit nesses in criminal cases, against whom nc crime whatever is alleged, are im- prisoned under the same conditions and without separation or classification along with old offenders and vile wom- en whose conversation is most offen- sive and corrupting and whose sani- tary condition is such that they are liable to communicate the foulest dis eases to these innocent companions.
 K Resolutions were passed by the board addressed to all the affiliated leagues, calling their attention to this new evidence of the need of votes for women; recommending full study of the report, and also that the women il the other counties endeavor to as- certain the conditions existing in their respective county jails.

WHERE MURDER
 IS A PASTIME
(By S. G. Blythe

Two hundred thousand MeXicans have been killed in battle or after be- ing made prisoners, or died from wounds since the Madero revolution began, in 1910. The best figures avail able show murdered in that time by Mexicans. No man can do more than guess at the number of MeXicans slaughtered officially-"ex executed" is the term. Thousands of them have been shot by Villa, by Carranza, by the other chieftains. Moreover MeXi- can women and children have been killed by the thousand.
 These stories-true and conserva- tive-that are told of the outrages by these so-called patriots on their own people, to say nothing of foreigners, are incredible The entire country of Mexico has been brutalized. There have been robbery, arson, loot, wan worth of property, both foreign own ed and owned by Mexicans The place is rapidly becoming a wilderness, overrun by marauding blood-thirsty bands.
 Since I have been on the Mexican border, and in such trips as I have made into Mexico, I have heard the most frightful stories of atrocities of all kinds; and these stories are true. They are not fakes for sensational newspaper publication, but incidents gravely described by honest, respect able American citizens who them selves have seen what they have re- lated The reports in the various de- partments in Washington reek with them Murder, rapine, outrage, loot ing, pillage, arson and destruction of property are greater and more atro- cious than ever before occurred in such space of land in the history of this continent. It is as unparalleled as it is brutal In five years Mexico has come to be territory where no life is safe, where no property right is sacred, where murder is pastime.
 Moreover, the country is bankrupt It has no financial resources nor any real finance Productive industry has stopped. Agriculture, save in small and isolated places, is abandoned. Ty- phus is epidemic in sections. The peo- pie are hungry. Mexico, as a funct- ioning nation, has practically ceased to exist It is merely geographical division overrun with bandits, some of them called soldiers and some of them robbers.

OFFICER MISSED
 HIS OWN FUNERAL

VICTORIA, B. C., June 2.-To few men is given the privilege of being absent at their own funeral, but such is the experience of Lieut.. Grindell a Vancouver officer now at the front.
 In letter to friend here he says that he was reading in the inscrip- tions on the headstones of some brave boys who had died for their country, when he was surprised to see neatly lettered cross dedicated to his mem ory and marking a place where he was supposed to rest.
 T got after the graves registration committee" he says, land explained to them that 1 was not dead. They took a lot of convincing, but finally were satisfied that I was very much alive I asked permission to take my own property-my cross-as a souvenir. They could not give me any official permission to do so, but intimated that if the cross was miss ing they would make no inquiries.'
 Continuing, the lieutenant says he has the cross with him and hopes to get leave to go to England and so send it home.
 "I had been officially dead for 12 months and didn't know it." he con cluded.
