DAMAGES TO PROPERTY
 FROM LEvEE CONSTRUCTION.
Owners Along the Lower Mississippi
 River Seek to Recover Losses.

Washington, May 33<-F'or a decade or more attempts have been made boa1 in Congress and in the courts by owners of land along the lower Mis- sissippi river to recover damages al- legged to have resulted to their prop erty from the construction of levess by the government The alleged dam age in some cases dates back to 1883 and millions upon millions of dollars have been claimed from time to time
 A landmark in the struggle of the Mississippi river land owners was the decision of the Supreme Court on June IT, 1913, in the case of tAfattie W Jackson, a iand owner who had sued the government for damages in the Court of Claims. The Supreme Court held that damages could not be re- covered.
 About the time of tGlis decision John F. Cubbins, of Memphis, Tenn. on his own behalf and on behalf of all other members of the Riparian Land Owners Protective Association, was bringing suits in the federal district courts in Mississippi, Louisiana, Ten nessee and Arkansas to enjofn the Mississippi River Commission and va rious state levee boards from main taining or further constructing levees along the river. He sought to dis tinguish his cases from the Hattie W Jackson case, but the district courts decided against him and he appealed to the Supreme Court. Tue appeals constituted the basis for the action today.
 The effort to distinguish the cases from the Jackson case was based first on the contention that the Jackson land was subject to overflow at times before the levee construction across the river by the government whereas the Cubbins land was not so subject to overflow previous to levee constrIc. tion. Secondly, it was eontended that the Jacksons built a 1evee on theii land before the construction of the levee on the oposite side of the river and hence they could not complain when the others did that which they themselves had done.

EIGHT COUNTY CONFERENCES
To Be Held by Connecticut Woman's
 Suffrage Association.

It was announced a short time ago that the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association would hold a spring con
 ference. At the c. W. S. A. headquar- ters in Hartford, the executive board met, Mrs. w. J. Bartlett present. After listening to the interesting reports from all over the state, it seemed wise to greatly enlarge and expand, and instead of holding one such conven- ton it is now the intention to hold eight conferences, one in each of the counties of the state. The chairman of each county will preside over the conference and be responsible for the arrangements. She will select her own committees and issue the calls to the workers in her county to at tend. But such conference will be att tended by the workers and officers from the other counties and by all the members of the state board. Zach conference is planned to be as impor- gle conference originally planned was intended to be. It is expected that the result will be an enormous quick ening of interest in the suffrage movement all over the state.
 The first of these conferences will be held in New Haven on June 10th. ] Mrs. Carlos F. l.. Stoddard, chairman | of New Haven county, has already is- sued the call for the conference and I the Lawn club has been secured as l the place of meeting. Much work has been done recently in the county by Miss Katherine Mullen, the organizer | for the county, and since the last suf- | frage convention many new leagues
 have come into existence. The second conference will be that of Hartford i county which will be held the follow | ing week under the presidency of
 Miss Mary Bulkley. This conference 1 but delegates are expected from every one of the towns and villages in tht county. In Collinsville and SimsburS especially there is a great deal ot suffrage sentiment and activity anC neither of these towns was represent ed at the last suffrage convention.
 Mrs. ". J. Bartlett has recently ac' cepted the position of chairman fol Holland county and she intends tS
 hold the convention for her county also during June. Mrs. Taylor O
 Litchfield county has decided tha
 August will be the best month fol
 her county and the dates of the con ventions for the other four countiei
 have not yet been announced. Mis-
 Katherine Ludington of Lyme is tn chairman for New London county ant will take charge of the conferenc
 there. Miss Danie1son of Putnam
 who has organized nine leagues il Windham county, presides over Wind ham county, and Miss c. Ruutz Rec over Fairfield county while the chair man for MiddIesex county is Mrs John Allan. of Saybrook. It is prob
 able that the conventions in thes two counties will be held during July

TERM IN BROOKLYN JAIL
 MAKES HIM A NEW MAN
Rise of a Down-and -out to Realiza- ton of Life's Meaning Significant Letter to Chief Grimshaw.

A remarkable letter has come to Chief Michael Grimshaw from pris- oner who is soon to complete in the Brooklyn jaii a sentence imposed up- on him ip the town court of Killing ly. When John Doe, aSi he may be called here, was sentenced May to serve 30 days Judge Woodward rec ognized in the prisoner a. man of such a. high type as is seldom seen in a police court. The man was in poor physical shape generally and his toes were crippled and almost curled un- der from the result of walking here from Providence while wearing pair of shoes much too small for him. Judge Woodward sent him to jail as a mercy, telling him a stay at Brook lyn would prove of immense benefit to him.
 Here's what John Doe has to say as to results:
 MT. Grinshaw, Chief of Police. Dan
 ielson, Conn.
 Dear Sir:-In consideration of the fact that you are thoroughly famil- far with the circumstances attending my confinement here-and especially the di1apidated physical and nervous condition to which had reduced my self preceding my convictions thought a few words concerning my present condition would be aeeepta- ble and interesting to you.
 Since my arrival here have beer treated in manly straightforward way, and, not being accustomed tt | jail life, it has been a surprise to me
 because on coming here expected abuse and very little consideration However, it has been just the oppo,
 site, and as a result I feel 300 pel i cent. better and am a better ant wiser man in every respect. I am employed in the kitchen de l partmeflt, as there is very little labol I I-a farx1 | in return, of course I do what I an | ordered to do and, as a consequence l my peace is not disturbed.
 During my leisure moments gail a great deal by quietly observing tn
 various habits and actions of differ ent men: naturally there is an abund ance of material to work upon, fo any man who may be inclined t0werl literary expression.

Monday morning the bright-colored Wilson's warbler was seen flying in and out of an apple tree which was fin full bloom. These birds, light yellow with black wings and crest, are ml- grating from Central America to the northern part of our country, and stop here in fruit blossom time to snatch insects from foliage and buds or catch one flying by. An indigo bird was seen on grass blade near a house and stayed there some tinla while be- ing observed. The purple finch was noted and the chewink caught sight of Monday as he flew across a wooded road. An all white bird was flying out of a cedar tree on Huntington lane Monday. The observer would like to krow it's name, white sparrows have been about at rare intervals, but this bird geemed as large as robin.

New Order Regarding Limit of Pos

An order from Washington an- nounces that postal savings deposit tor may now have an account amount ing to $1000 upon which interest will be paid. Forraerly $500 was the max mum amount he could have to his credit Another feature of the amendment that will avoid further embarrassment to the public and to the postal officials is the doing away with the limit on the amount that could be accepted from a depositor monthly. Under the old law only $1O0 could be deposited in a calendar month The amendment abolishes this restriction.

Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or pA,cephate may be bought for a trifie less than Royal Ealsing Powder, which s made from crsarn of tartar, derived from grapes. Alum powders are not only cheap, but they differ greatly in leavening power. s If "a cheap baking powder is used for a , fine cake and the cake turns out a failure there is q waste of costly materials worth more than whole can of the cheap bak- ing powder.
 Royal Baking Powder produces the finest food, and it's use therefore, results in an actual saving.
