MERITS APPRECIATION.
Chamber of Commerce Applies for
 Modification of Rule.

Steps have been taken by the local Chamber of Commerce to secure a modification of the rule governing the draft shipments of freight mater ial into this city, which, in the event of it's being secured, will be pleasing to local merchants. In the past it was the rule on draft shipments that as soon as the draft reached the bank the merchant to whom it had been sent would be forced to appear at the institution and pay what the draft called for. Tn many instances the goods would not arrive for several days, which was the unfair part of the proceeding. The local officials have asked that in the future the draft be not payable until the goods have been received. A letter to the secretary of the chamber this morn ing brought the information that the matter would be taken up in a few days.
 A new ruling was effected today by the railroad officials, whereby at the end of five days $5 would be added to the usual demurrage rate of $2 for all cars not un1oaded by the consignee. This rule does not effect any shipment on the rails previous to today. The

PRESbYTERIANS ID
 PROBE SEMINARIES
Adoption of Plan Avoids Contest
 on Floor Of Conference

Atlantic City, N. J., May 25-The Presbyterian general assembly in session here today adopted a recom- mendation that all theological sem inaries affiliated with the church be investigated by a committee of seven as to their relationship to the church and the assembly with a view of making the relationship more secure, uniform and mutually helpful.
 The assembly at Rochester, N. Y, last year rescinded the "contract of 1870' whereby the assembly vas given authority in ratifying faculties in all Presbyterian seminaries. This year an overture was presented re- questing that the Rochester action be reversed and the 1870 compact re- sumed. The overture, it was said, was aimed at Auburn and Union Sem inaries, and the adoption of the recomm endation avoids a contest on the floor of the assembly with regard to the affairs of these institutions. The committee is to report to the next assembly.
 Work of Foreign Missions.
 pr. Waldo c. Cherry of Rochester, N. Y, made a report for foreign mission boards. It showed that out of each dollar given in the United States for foreign missions. 93 cents reach the natives for whom it was intended. Natives in Presbyterian fields have given over $7o0,00O which means that a dollar and quarter has been used in foreign fields for each one dollar given in this country.
 A special plea was made for the evangeIization of Mexico.

and discharged a fusillade Of stones and bullets from revolvers at said officers while they were retreatIng towards said building, and at and into said building, shattering large number of window panes upon said southern side of said building and greatly endangering the lives of those who were in said building.
 @In order to protect themselves and the property of said manufac turing company and the lives of the working employees within said build ind, said special officers and said Ansonia police officers discharged quite a number of bullets from re- volvers held by them from the win down on said southerly side of said building. Concealed behind some building material upon said vacant lot was deceased, and while said bullets were being discharged from said revolvers by the striking em- ployes and said special officers and said Ansonia police officers, he re- Ceived bullet wound upon the left side of the neck, the bullet cutting the jugular vein and passing through the spine. Deceased was at once re- moved to the Griffin hospital, where he died at 10:55 D. m., May IS, 1916, death being due to said wound.
 While I am of the opinion from report of theautopsy and personal observation made at said factory that the bullet which inflicted said wound was discharged from the second floor of said factory by some of the off cers who were there stationed, I am unable to determine which of said officers discharged said. bullet. I therefore find Charles Lalco's death was due to gun shot wound inflicted upon him by some person unknown. J am also of the opinion said death was not caused by the criminal act, omission or carelessness of any person.

FRANCE TREATS HER
 PRISONERS POORLY
Germans Say They Were Deprived Of Many Comforts

Berlin, May 25, (By wireless to Say ville) ).-An account of the treatment of German prisoners in France, said to have been obtained from incapaci- tated German soldiers who have been sent home in exchange for French prisoners, is published today in the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung.
 "All of them complain of abuse from fanatical mobs and of the ar5i- trary behavior of the commanders of the French camps who apparently pay no attention to instructions" the newspaper says. This may be due to the fact that the French war minister does not exercise sufficiently close su- pervision of the prison camps.
 Severely wounded prisoners in seV- eral camps were not exchanged, al- though they were only able to move about on crutches. This fact eX- plains why no prisoners were sent home from the camps of Amiens, St. Brieuc, Belleville, Blaye, Toulouse and northern Africa, nor from Mar seilIes.
 Prisoners Return In Rags
 Virtually all the prisoners returned in rags. In several cases it was point ed out that clothing sent from home was withheld from them Special complaints were lodged against the commander and an interpreter at Camp Borcelonette, who put the wounded to hard labor. It was fur ther stated that in several eases Frenchmen were seen wearing trous- ars which had bean Sppt from many for the imprisoned Germans. The railroad station at Brunaire, situ- ated nearby, has been filled with par cells sent from Germany since Septem- Der, 1915.
 Complaints were made by the ex- changed prisoners regarding the camp at Sundudun, where non-Commis- stoned officers are given the right to punish prisoners with arrest. In camp Maselesti the prison room is too small for lying down; it is only possible for a soldier to sit. At the same camp parcels sent from Germany are ram sacked by the guards. The inter- preters have cup boards filled witb stolen cigars and other things. Food Exceedingly Poor. ''In the camp at Meyers the prison CTS were forced to work hard, even . on Sunday. In LaPallice he food was exceedingly poor. Prisoners were forced to send home forged i. letters.
 Further complaints were made by the soldiers regarding the kind of work which captured professors, law yers, artists and. clergymen were forced to do, such as unloading ships and repairing roads, canals and rail- road tracks
 "The French government when asked to change these arrangements replied that it was impossible because 1 of French democratic ideas. The French government also declined to transfer war prisoners from the un- healthy north African climate. Apparently in answer to the Ger man requests, French newspapers now publish the news that captured French have been employed in the Russian swamps. It is semi-officially stated here that this report is untrue. Frenchmen employed in the occupied parts of Russia are in much better position than are the Germans who must spend a second summer in the hot, unhealthy north Africa climate and who are forced to hard iapor un- der deplorable conditions"
