that an early breakup is at hand he

THROUGH THRILLING TIMES
AROUND CHIHUAHUA.
Mrs. Rowland. Formerly of Da9ieIson,
Writes of Perils in Disordered
Mexico.

A personal letter from Mrs. John
Rowland (Miss Chollar of Danielson),
wife of Rev. DR.. John Rowland, writ
ten Jan. s from Chihuahua, Mexico,
tells of their safety after the eVSnts
connected with the evacuation of Villa.
She writes as follows:
We were very anxious for a few
days, as there was much disorder and
a strong feeling against Americans on
the part Of Villa. When the fire of a
Chinese laundry blazed up around the
block, and store on our corner was
looted to the very shelves, and while
30 of our countrymen were in con-
f1nement at the hotel waiting for ran
som, it looked dark. But every one
was very kind to US and seemed to
realize that we had not come to get
things from Mexico, but to give and
help.
The new army came on very quietly,
and all is going on well. There has
been general amnesty. We are
thankful for this respite and pray that
it may continue, and we are thankful
that the boards property and we our
selves came through all right. We
start for Panama next week whenever
a train goes to Ell Paso You can
imagine the crowds when trains go sc
rarely.
DR.. and Mrs Rowland, who fol-
years have been missionaries in Mex
leo, have been appointed delegates tc
the congress at Panama and are now
visiting their daughter in Miami, Fla.
en- route. Later letters give an ac-
count of thrilling experiences passed
through, but they were kept in great
courage and trust. -

Responses that have been very graft
flying to those who have had a par
ticular interest in the matter of en-
couraging the thrift spirit among the
young people of Norwich have already
been shown in the recent offer at the
Norwich Savings society, since over
900 new accounts have been started
with at least a dollar to which the
savings bank has added dollar.
This was the requirement, accord
ing to the announcement made hy
the hank about ten days ago, that
any person under 81 who would start
an account with a dollar would have
another dollar at once added to it by
the bank and if no withdrawals were
made from the account for two years
the dollar given by the bank would
be the property Of the depositor.
There were 1000 such new accounts
that could be taken care of as the
sum of $1,000 was deposited with the
bank for that purpose and the plan
meant no expense to the bank for the
extra dollar that was given.
The responses to the offer came in
promptly Immediately after it was
made. Many of those who made their
first dollar deposit have shown that
they have got the habit of saving for
they have made their second depos-
it's on their accounts.

GETTING HABIT Or SAVING MONEY
Over 800 Wdeawake Young People Open New Accounts at
Norwich Savings Society-Take Advantage of Offer to
Get Dollar for the First Dollar They Put In

The wide awake newsboys were in
this class. They came in with their
first dollar and at once saw their
wealth increased by a whole dollar
more when the deposit books were
handed back to them with their own
dollar entered and the dollar extra.
That 81 on the book looked pretty
good to them and not many days later
they were back with some more
money that they had gotten together
and that promptly went in to swell
their accounts.
Some of those who are taking adj
vantage of the offer have made their
initial deposit more than a dollar and
the ages have ranged from the very
young to those just under the age
limit of 81. The youngest were not
more than two or three months old
their deposits, of course, being made
for them by some relative.
1t is gratifying to those who are
| watching this offer to see that it is
being appreciated and that a num-
Der of the Young America of Nor
witch are learning what it is to save
| and acquiring a habit that will teach
them that pennies can be used for
something else than to be spent for
chewing gum and candy as fast as
! they are handed out by indusgent

The standing call for children's sec
ond hand clothing is still issued with
peculiar force at present. The lack
of nothing: in the clothing line is quite
so distressful to the mission and its
constituents who, are calling for it, as
that which pertains to this peculiar
clothing. Some girls are going from
house to house asking for clothing
under the plea (partly true) that they
cannot find. any at the mission rooms.
In some cases, some people needing
things prefer not to- come to head
quarters. If there were a larger sup
ply of children's dresses and shoes sent
to US, we could easily and properly
give them out to real deserving folks.

LIVING IN HONOLULU
BUT LONG THOUGHT DEAD
Miss HI L. Hampstead Heir to $S17.-
IS Waiting for Her in New London

Passed from the recollection of To-
cal relatives because they believed
her dead, and absent from New Lon
don for 43 years, so that an admins
traitor had been named for her estate,
Miss Harriet L. Hampstead Of Homo
lulu, H. L. is still living, it was an
nounced in the New London probate
court on Thursday. Furthermore she
is entitled to $SI7.45.
Attorney Frank L. MCGUIRE, who
was appointed administrator of Miss
Hempstead'si estate two years ago,
made the announcement in connection
with a petition for the revocation of
his appointment. Judge Calkins took
the papers in the case.
The story of the strange situation
is an interesting one. Miss Hemp
stead is daughter of the late Capt.
John Prentis Hampstead and was born
in Honolulu Oct. 6, 1853. She is also
niece of Capt. Benjamin B. Hemp
stead, deceased, of New London. AS
a girl she came to New London to
visit relatives and attended school for
a time. Later she went to school in
Rochester, N Y. When zoe years of
age she went west and afterward to
Honolulu, never returning to New
London.
Capt. Benjamin B. Hampstead had
no children and when he died, in 1905,
realty which he owned in Starr street
| passed to collateral heirs, Benjamin
H. Lee Of Howard street. Miss Char
lotte r. Colt and Miss Hampstead.
Mrs. Nancy Colt Wight had the life
use Of the property. Herbert l..
| CyrandalI was the adnintf ftrator tof
Captain EIempstead's estate and Mr..
Mcclure acted as attorney. Upon the
death Of Mrs. Wight soon after the
| property was sold and the proceeds
divided, each OF the heirs receiving

the Eastern department of the Peters
Cartridge Company, committed suicide
in his home No. PSI West Eighty
seventh street yesterday. He was IS
years old.
According to his wife, Keller en-
tered her room with revolver and
told her he was going TO end it all.
She grasped his wrists and struggled
with him for several minutes, but he
broke away and locked himself in
his room. Then, as his wife vainly
impiored him, he fired two shots into
his head.
Ill health had depressed Keller
lately, it was said. He was a captain
in the Old Guard and competed In
State and National Militia rife
tournaments. Keller acted as a secret
service agent for the Government IN
keeping track Of munition sales.
Cigar dealers in this vicinity will re-
member Mr.. Keller as he came to
Norwich selling cigars. especially the
Telkay, which was named after him.
He was at one time also manager
from 1895 to 1900 of the Plainf1eld base
ball team that played here. He came
here with the team. The Norwich
team also went TO PIainfield for a re-

ing her share among the other heirs.
About that time Mr.. Lee, one of the
heirs, was in Buffalo and by strange
coincidence became acquainted with
a lawyer there, who knew of a Miss
Hampstead living in Honolulu.
Acting on this clue, he wrote to the
postmaster there and received in due
time an answer stating that a Miss
Harriet, Hampstead received mail at
the office. Mr.. Lee erred in reading
the communication and thought it
stated that mo" Miss Harriet Hemp
stead received mail He put the let
ter in his pocket and some time after
ward showed it, to Judge Calkins and
told him the story. Judge Calkins
read the letter correctly and since
then Attorney Mcclure has been car
rying on a voluminous correspondence
with the result that Miss Hampstead
is identified beyond question.

ECONOMY is QUESTION
BEFORE FINANCE BOARD
State Body Elects Senator Wadhams
of Goshen President.

The state board of finance. which
is to consider the methods of admin
istering state expenses, of raising and
collecting income and other matters
vital to the state treasury which was
created at the last session of the gen
eral assembly, met for organization
In the comptroller's office at the cap
ftal this week. Senator John NJ.
Wadhams of Goshen was chosen as
Watertown secretary. TIE other ap-
pointed member of the board is E.
Kent Hubbard Of Middletown. State
Treasurer Frederick S. Chamberlain,
State Comptroller Morris C. Webster
and Tax Commissioner WiIfam H.
Corbin are ex-officio members of the
board. Governor Marcus H. 1Iolcomb,
who was present at the meeting, adj
rninistered the oath of Office to the
appointive member.
Aside from organizing the members
of the board did nothing but to dis
their work. AS they have no report
to make until the 1917 session of the
general assembly, their preliminary
meetings will be devoted to an inves-
tigation of conditions. Not until the
session has fairly commenced will the
result Of their labors become known
They have the power to advise any
any legislation on financial matters
to be enacted, and sit with the legis-
Iative committee on appropriations.
The proposition which confronts
the board appears to be one of econ
.omy rather than one Of raising more
Income. In recent years the state ex-
penditures have exceeded its income
by about 100000 a year. While the
increased taxation from new revenue
measures will, in part. take care OF
iris over expenditure, it may also be
necessary. for the, board to devise
methods of economical administration
to enable various departments to
work under decreased appropriations
The next meeting of the board will
be held Wednesday, March l. at II
a
