PERMANENT NURSE
 FOR MILK STATION
Association Meets and Plans All Year Round Opening-Misses KiTliry and
 Peterson To Have Charge.

The New Britain Milk Station asso- citation met yesterday afternoon at the home of it's president, Mrs Ira E. Hicks, and transacted a large amount of business. Reports of vari- ous committees showed the work is going on in splendid shape.
 Plans for the continuance of the milk station at the Burritt school were discussed and it was decided to open on June 26. Hereafter it will be an all-year round proposition. The committee on nurses reported it has secured Miss Mary Kiniry and Miss E T. Peterson to take charge during the summer months. The school will be available only during the vacation months and it is ex- pected that later permanent quarters will be secured. The committee is in correspondence with New York nurse, who is desired for the perman- ent position. It is planned to have her come here in August, when the two local nurses will leave. Miss Kiniry is the regular school nurse and Miss Peterson has other plans in view Both have always given com plete satisfac ction.
 The finance committee reported that $1,O6O had been raised so far and it is felt certain the amount of s2,000 will be secured before the station opens. The committee expressed It. self as very grateful for the manner in which it was received, when so- liciting funds. As this is the first year the station will be opened perman- ently, there are several matters, of which the members are not familiar with as yet, but all feel optimistic re- garding the outcome of the experi- ment.

 SPRINT FOR OFFICE
"Favorite Son. of Nebraska Voters Evidently Decides He Has No
 Chance Against Field.

Chicago, May 24-scratch off the name of one 'favorite son. as a presidential aspirant. Henry D. Esta- brook of New York and Nebraska, competitor of Senator Cummins in the primaries in Minnesota and Me- braska, has cancelled his order for convention headquarters in the Con- gress hotel, and apparently intends to retire from the field as a contestant for high honors. At least that is the viewpoint of political leaders who gathered around republican conven- ton headquarters.
 At the Congress hotel it was an- nounced that Estabrook's headquar- ters were given up and that they have been taken over for convention week by T. Coleman du Pont, Delaware's "favorite son.
 MT. Estabrook was a candidate for the nomination from the beginning His name was on the ticket in Min nesota and Nebraska.
 "It is doubtful,'' was the comment of Fred w. Upham chairman of the local committee on arrangements for the convention, "whether Charles D. HiIIes, chairman of the national com mittee, would have put MT. Esta- brook on the list of candidates for the nomination. MT. Estabrook's de- him out of the running

 Forced Into Seat.

London, May 24-A series of questions to the cabinet ministers with regard to the treatment of prisoners arrested during the revolu- tion in Ireland gave rise to a con- troversy among the Irish mem bers ill the house of commons late yesterday afternoon.
 Herald J. Tennant, under secretary Of state for war, replying to Laurence G1nnell, had said that conditions at first were uncomforta ble, but that that was not the case now. when Timothy Healy, nationalist mem Der TOT Cork, remarked: "Is there a single word that you are getting from Dublin that is not false |"
 John O'ConnOr, known as Long John,' who took a prominent part in some Irish scrimma ges on the floor of the house of commons in the home rule controversy of the 'SOs, said that he had visited the Wakefield prison and saw some of. his constituents in- termed there who requested him to make public the fact that they were being we'll treated.
 MT. Healy made some remark which could not be heard, and O'Con- nor walked from his seat to the one next to Healy's saying: What's that you say?' Healy made no reply and O'Connor's colleagues forced him back into his own seat.

LAMAR WILL HAVE
 FAY AS COMPANION
s'Wolf of Wall Street. Will Be Hand- cuffed to Conspirator on Trip

New York, May 24.-Handcuffed to Lieut.. Robert Fay, the German bomb conspirator, who was sentenced to eight years, David Lamar will start on his trip to Atlanta penitentiary Friday to begin the service of his two year sentence for impersonating congress- men. The fact that Lamar is under indictment for a conspiracy to restrain the shipment of munitions to the en- tente allies will, it is expected by the federal authorities, render him an agreeable travelling companion to Fay. The federal authorities allege that a large part of the. German funds which he is said to have handled for Franz Rintelen failed to reach the sources for which they were intended.

New York, May 24-A report on the merits of the probation system by Kings County Judge Hylan shows that, properly used, the system of great value in retaining persons not yet hardened to crime.
 Judge Hylan has placed on proba- ton from his appointment in March, 1914, to April 1, 1916, 205 persons, ten of whom were women. Only six teen of these have been convicted since for other crimes or for viola tion of probation terms. lightweight were continued on probation. Of these 104 persons regarded as the failures Judge Hylan believes there is still hope for many of the eight eight still on probation.
 Early this month Judge Hy1an call ed the 101 redeemed probationers together in the Kings County court house and talked with them person. ally. Many members of Grand Jury attended this meeting and were grat- flied with the results.
 Most of them were at work or in business for themselves" says Judge Hylan, land they were earn ing on an average S14 a week. Their reports showed that the different sal aries of the rescued young men rang ed from $7 to $50 a week. Several of them were already married and a number had been married while on probation and had established homes; some had started bank accounts one having been able to save upward of $5O0 While on probation.

RUBLEE DEFEATED
 BY SENATE, 38-3S
Tie Vote Puts Him Out of Rare for
 Federal Trade. Commission.

Washington, May 24-George Rub lee of New Hampshire was finally re- Jected by the senate yesterday as Fed eral Trade Commissioner. A motion to reconsider the decision by which weeks ago failed by tie vote, 3S to 3S.
 The Influence of the administra- ton had been exerted to overcome the adverse vote and Col. Roosevelt add ed his, influence in MT. Rublee's fa- Vor While in Washington MT. Roosevelt was greeted by Mr. Rub- lee and the ex-President expressed regret that he could do no more than voice his indignation that the nomin- ation was being held up.
 The vote by which the Rublee nom ination was rejected on the first vote was AZ to 36, after Senator Hollis had changed his vote to make it pos sible to move the reconsideration. The real alignment was 41 to 37.
 When the senate took up the con- sideratiOn of the motion to recon sider friends of the administration were claiming a victory for their man of two majority. The action in refusing to reconsider disposes of the case finally and the president will have to name another commissioners
 He must choose one who is a mem- Der of some political party other than the democratic. He could name a prohibitionist or socialist, but it is believed he will name a republican or progressive. Senator Clapp and senator Works have been suggested.
