SAVINGS BANKS IN
 STATE PROSPEROUS
Report to Commissioner Sturges Shows Increase in Thirteen Months
 Amounting to S2O,127,O76.

Hartford, June 12.-Bank Commis- sioner Everett J. Sturges has receiv- ed reports from all the eighty-one savings banks of the state showing the amount of deposits and assets in each bank April 1, 1916. It shows an increase in the amount of de- posits for the year. The deposits on April 1, amounted to $333,790, ,127.25. On March 1, 1915, they amounted to $314, 573, 3,O79.52. This shows an in crease for the preceding thirteen months of $19,217, ,047.73.
 The assets of the banks on April 1, 1916, amounted to 356,337, 931 and on March 1, 1915 to $336, 210, 855 50, an increase of $20, ,127, ,076.14.
 The last printed statement issued bv the bank commissioner was for Oct. 1, 1915. The total deposits in the banks at that date amounted to s322,56O,4 O,462.02. This was an in crease over the same date of the nrevious year of over $10, 0,000,000.
 There are at present 81 savings hanks in the state, or one less than a wear ago. The reduction in num- Der is due to the fact that bank in Fairfield County is in course of liouidation. Bank Commissioner Sturges says that the banks of the state are in satisfactory condition.

ENGLISH SEAMEN
 ARE POOR SHOTS
Had Many Opportunities to De-
 StrOy the Elbing.

Berlin, June 12, from Associated Press Staff Correspondent by Wire less to Sayvlle.-Officers of the Ger man cruisers Elbing and Frauenlob interviewed in the FranlIfurter Zci- tung give additional details of the North sea battle, the Elbing's officers emphasizing what they described as the "extra aordinarily bad marksman- ship of the British gunners. For a long period. they declare, the Elbing was exposed to the heavy fire of Brit ish dreadnoughts and a single fair hit would have sufficed to sink her, but she was not hit once. On the other hand, according to the German officers almost every German shell found it's billet The Germans suc cess, they declared, was due sulely to superior marksmanship.
 The officers give the duration f the battle as seventeen hours during four teen of which the Elbing was con- tinuously engaged. During this per iod bread was distri buted once but there was no pause in the fighting in which it could be eaten. Only eight men from the Elbing were lost.
 The FrauenlOb was engaged from ' D. m., until 1030 D. nl., and again en- tered the battle at midnight The res cued men said that shells hOWicd con tinuously over their ships while the fight was on. Finally the FrauenlOb was hit fairly twice, the explosions be- ing so terrific that practically eVery- thing on board was swept away. At one o'clock in the morning the cruiser was struck by a torpedo, the explosion lifting her into the air.
 The torpedo entered the engine room and exploded there, the ship sinking seven minutes later. Pre- ceding hits by shells had made it i'm possible to get more than a few of the life rafts away. Eight survivors on three of these rafts which, were about three feet wide and six feet long, f1oated for ten hours sitting back to back with their legs in the water and with heavy waves washing over them continually.
 The Elbing's officers characterized as silly the British allegation that the German fleet abandoned the field. It was but natural that the Germans should gradually have worked nearer their base but there was no truth in the statement that they avoided q de- cision. the officers declared.
 The cruiser Wiesbaden was struck by a shell which penetrated the en- zine room and completely disa bled her and she had to be left behind. She went down finally, her men fisht- ing to the last.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox Asks Release
 Of Herbert ". Taylor

. Hartford, June PA letter from Ella Wheeler Wilcox asking for the pardon of Herbert w. Taylor, life prisoner, was read before the board of pardons at it's meeting at the prison in Wethersfield today Tay- lcrs father, who had net seen him since he was 12 year old, came from Boston to plead for him. Taylor is thirty years old. He was committed from New Haven for shooting one Jennings of East Haven, his mothers second husband, ten years ago. The mother, convicted at the same time Is insane. States Attorney filling said the boys bravado before the jury prejudiced his case.

quence the south is deluged with them, especially in cotton picking time. The black man likes to feel the weight of his money, wants to hear the cheerful jingle in his pocket and is said to be suspicious of treasury notes.
 But the laboring negroes form only 6 minority and the southern ma jorty is glad enough to get treasury notes, especially when they are new and clean. Yet the citizen of all colors, tastes and habits in that sec ton is expected by both bankers and merchants to load himself down with cart wheels and go about with bulging and jingling pockets when ever he offers a ten, twenty or five dollar note for change. There is a practical reason why the southern protest is not more effective. The government pays the express charges on shipments of silver from the treasury, but when it accumulates in the banks the bankers must pay the cost of shipping the bulky wealth to a sub-treasury for exchange. It is manifest that more silver dollars are coined than are desirable It ought to be possible to give the southern negro satisfaction without burdening the general public.

HID IN WALDORF
 TOAVOlD HUSBAND
Mrs. Hilton in Deadly Fear Recon-
 CiliatiOn Would Follow

New York June 12.-Mrs. Frances Duer Key Hilton, well known in so cial circles in Washington, it was an nounced yesterday by her counsel, Jo- seph H. O'Neill of Boston, remained immured in her apartment at the Waldorf all of last week until she left the city on Saturday, because she and her attorney felt certain that her young husband, John H. Hilton, would attempt to effect a reconciliation.
 Mrs. Hilton came to this city with her attorney to obtain an injunction which would prevent her husband from collecting money which she said belonged to her.
 Mrs. Hilton was married to John H. Hilton in Baltim ore in April when he was in her employ, and it was as serted in the application for the in junction made to Supreme Court Jus tice Thomas F. DonnelIy that her hus- band had made a bet that he could meet Mrs. Hilton and marry her as we'll as obtain her money, or a good part of it in ninety days. Mrs. Titon's local counsel is the law firm of O'Brien, Malevinsky & Driscol, and the case comes up for a hearing on Tuesday.
 Mrs. Hilton, who is Al, while her husband is 23, has two daughters, one a graduate of Radcliffe College and the other in attendance at that insti- tution and she was a wealthy widow as Mrs. Frances Duer Key. In April she had arranged to meet MT. O'Neill in this city, in connection with a suit for S1OO,OOO damages which she was bringing against her mother, Mrs. .TOnac. ho, e,;e Ma hal Barnes; the latter's husband, and J. K. Post, for having her confined in an insane asylum in Boston in 1912. Triton, who is said to have been her chauffeur, was engaged to drive her motor a few days before she started to New York. They were married on the trip on April 17.
 Withi in three weeks, says Mrs. Til tons affidavit, Hilton had made good his bet to the extent of obtaining $5S,5OO from her in assignments of securities. All of the cash, however, has not been paid over to him. The affidavit continues, saying that on May 2O her husband began to abuse Mrs Hilton. She says he got the assign ments in the first instance by promis- ing to buy a seat in the New York Stock Exchange to hold it for her. On June 1, through her attorney, she started proceedings which tied up $51, 900 in securities. She then came to this city, met her husband and a reconciliation took place. The couple went back to Washington together.
 Within two days, she says, her hus- band had broken into the house and she had to call in the police to have him arrested. Securities worth S25,OOO, which had been released after the reconciliation, were tied up through MT. O'Neill.
 When she came to New York this time Mrs. Hilton asked the manage ment of the Waldorf to guard her lest a peace dove fly into the hotel apart ment, and because, as MT. O'Neill said, she feared to trust her heart.

NEWPORT MISSING
Insane Man, Who Shot Howard C.. Webb of New Haven, ESludes Guards at MiddIetOWn and Escapes.

Middletown, June 12.-Walter K. Newport who, several years ago was adjudged insane after he had shot and painfully wounded Howard c. Webb, an attorney of New Haven and who has been confined in the Con- necticut hospital for the Insane, vio- lated his parole yesterday and has disappeared.
 Dr. William E. Fisher, assistant su- perintendent of the institution and in charge in the absence of Dr. Havi- land, the superintendent, confirmed the report of Newports disappear ance. He declined to state what steps have been taken to find him. The Middletown police have not been noti- fled by the asylum authorities who today sent word to police of other cities asking them to watch out for the man.
 Last week a petition was placed be- fore the superior court for New Ha- ven County asking that Newport be conditionally released.
 The petition was withdrawn later in the week.

Confidence.
(New York Times.)

Why does this country tend always to belittle it's wealth, it's works, it's men, and it's power to meet calam- ity? It does, and yet we are thought to be a people unembarrassed by modesty. Yankee boastfulness IS Q proverb in the world, but no Yankee ever told quite all the truth. He never dared, and, besides, he could not make himself believe the whole length and depth and breadth or u. Distrusting their own judgment, the American people la-.- confidence in their great estate. The temperament is rich in daring, faith, and optim- ism. but poor in confidence, which IS a quality that comes with time. A young people perhaps should not have it, It is not good to have every thing.
 When a great man dies among us we are all somehow surprised that his greatness happened here, as if it had been an accident diversion of
