MRS. MELLEN SEEKS
 CARNEGIE HERO AID
Father Of Her Nine Year Old Daugh- ter DOrWncd Last Summer
 Off Indian Neck.

Mrs. Charles A. Mellen of Maple street, widow of the late Charles M eI- len who lost his life off Indian Neck last summer while attempting to save the life of a drowning child, has ap- piled to the Carnegie Hero Fund in behalf of her nine year old daughter, Irma, asking that the bravery of the husband and father be properly ac- knoWledged. Officials of the society have advised Mrs. Mellen that as soon as the committee again investigates in this section of the country this par ticular case will receive careful con- sideration.
 The facts in this midsummer sea- shore tragedy are we'll known to New Britain people. MT. and Mrs. Mellen with MT. and Mrs Frederick Eldridge and infant daughter, and Mrs. Fannie Remington, were in a boat off Indian Neck when the Eldridge baby fell into the water with it's mother
New Britain herald., 1916-12-11

Mr. Mellen, despite the fact that he had just recovered from an operation and was in a very weakened condition, heroically leaped overheard and took the baby from it's mothers arms as she was pulled to safety. At that in stant the mechanism on the motor boat broke and it was impossible to control it. The unmanagea boat immediately drifted away from the drowning man and babe, although Mr. Mellen frantically hurled the little baby through the air in hopes that the father in the boat might be able to catch it. His last dispairing chance failed and both man and babe were drowned. Mr. Mellen was we'll known in this city and was a veteran of the Spanish American war.

1t manifest both publicly and prl- vately that they would vote for Mr. Wilson if the commonest courtesles were exchanged between Mr. Hughes and myself
 The statement issued by Chairman Rowell follows, in part:
 "Johnson received 3OO.605 more
 m majority than Hughes, but only 112,-
 IF more votes. Johnson's vote, in fact, fell 157,91S behind the com
 bined progressive and republican vote of two years ago.
 Neither will those who rememb Der
 how the Hughes trip in California was
 manhandled wonder at the compara-
 tive weakness of the Hughes vote. It
 is not generally known that the tour,
 coming as it did in the midst of a
 bitter primary fight, was undertaken
 against the joint telegraphic protest
 of National Committeeman Crocker
 and myself. If this advice had been
 taken. Hughes would have been elect ed.
 . "It has not been printed that Mir. Hughes was brought by his custo-
 dians to address a meeting of 'repub-
 lican' editors from which every paper supporting Johnson, including many
 of the most influential papers in the state, was excluded; that his speech was followed by an anti-J ohnson harangue by M. H. De Young, and that the editors, without rising from their seats, from which they had just listened to MT. Hughes, formed them selves into an anti-Johnson newspa- per league. It has been printed, I think, that, just before going to this meeting, MT. Hughes had been de- livered to a luncheon at the Mer- chants association, where he sat un- der an anti union pla card, and was served by negro strikebreakers, brought in in the midst of a bitter industrial conflict
 "The only organized campaign made for Hughes in California was made by the new republican state committee in the brief month that re- mained after the prOgressives came into control of that committee. Our predecessors devoted all their ener- gies and whatever money they may have had to a fight within the party to defeat Johnson and myself that he and his committee would be neutral as between Johnson and Booth, State Chairman Keesling conducted the fac tional campaign of Booth from the tee and in it's name. His committee sa crificed the interests of Hughes dur ing the campaign to the petty fac. tional purpose of preventing Johnson's nomination and finally turned over the committee to us at the very end of the campaign, with assets consist ing literally of an empty office, with the rent due, without cent of money, a scrap of paper or the record of any campaign made or attempted for Hughes"

HEALTH DEPT. WANTS
 SANITARY CRUSADE
In Monthly Bulletin Recommend That Police Enforce Anti-Spit-
 ting Law.

The health department in its bull letin urges an immediate campaign to enforce rigidly the anti-spitting law and recommends that the police department do this at once. pr. T. E. Reeks, superintendent, declares that the fall is the worst time of the year for the spread of dangerous dis. ease by the habit of expectorating on the sidewalk. The wind soon dries the sputum and imm ediately the germs are liberated and whirled through the atm mosphere.
 Following Is the anti-spitting cru- sade bulletin:
 What is more disgusting to the average person than to see masses of phlegm on the sidewalk, in the path of someone who is likely to step into 1t and carry part of it into the home Or office. It requires no amount of to follow the mouthfuI of sputum deposited in public places by

CABBAGE GARDEN STRIPPED.

Albert Kapeina of 13S Oak street is mourning the loss of 300 heads of cabbage from a lot on Wilcox street, where he worked hard to raise them last season. He has informed the police that the cabbage heads have been appropriated by some unidenti- fled visitor and wants loot and looter located.

 But in California, he says, the sit uation was aggravated "by the worse than idiotic mismanagement of Mr.

 Governor Johnson is acquitted by MT. Powell of opposing MT. Hughes In support of this statement MT. Row ell produces a telegram, never pub ished, from Governor Johnson to the manager of the Hughes train on the eve of MT. Hughes departure from the state, as follows:
 Tt goes without saving that I wish and have wished to extend to MT. Hughes Q most cordial and hearty welcome to California and that in view Of my advocacy of him I would be very glad to present him to my fellow citizens and to state to them the reasons for my advocacy. Until now it has been rendered impossible for me to do either. The mon sur Mir Hughes in California and in charge of his tour are more interested in my defeat than in MT.

CATHOLIC INDIAN SCHOOLS
CONGRESS RESTORES THEIR
STATUS AS FAR AS THE USE OF
TRIBAL FUNDS FOR EDUCATION
is CONCERNED.

Last year four Catholic Mission
schools among the Choctaws and
Chickasaws of Oklahoma were de-
prived of the contracts which it had
been customary for them to receive.
incidentally, three Protestant Mission
schools and one state school were de-
prived of contracts. The Choctaws
and Chickasaws have large coal royal
ties which they devote to education.
Although for several years the word
ing of the law had not been changed,
the comptroller of the United States
treasury, William P. Downey, in an
swer to direct question, for the aris-
ing of which there was no good reas
son whatsoever, declined to permit
the use of Choctaw- Chickasaw funds
for education in other than strictly
tribal schools, on the ground that the
act of congress which served as a
basis for these contracts was not
ample. The Downey decision meant
loss to the Catholic schools of $27,-
900 per year.
The United States congress has now
endeavored to be fair and has sue
ceeded. AS to the Downey decision
there was no appeal from the comp
troiler of the treasury except to con-
gress, but congress needed the appeal
and, in no uncertain terms, has pro
vided that hereafter the Choctaw-
Chickasaw funds may be used for the
education of the children of these
tribes in mission schools, but may also
be used to reimburse such mission
schools as have carried through the
fiscal year, without contract, Choctaw-
Chickasaw children.
Notwithstanding the more than or
dinarily strenuous efforts put forth
to make the 100000 annually appro-
priated to the Sioux under an extended
treaty, gratuity, congress this year,
although it did not extend the treaty,
appropriated the 100000 in question
as payment under another treaty,
''The Black Hills" treaty, which has
never been adequately lived up to and
which has no time limit so far as the
educational provision is concerned.
Hence, thanks to the congress of the
United States, the status of Catholic
Indian Mission schools remains the
same as it has been since 1900 and
until the decision of Comptroller Dow
ney.s

LAKE JOHANNA CAMP


Lake Johanna Summer Camp began
It's third season on Monday. June II.
The opening was favorable and augers
well for another successful term. The
weather, however, was not entirely
satisfactory during the first week, and
were it not for this one unfavorable
feature the registration even at this
early date would be much larger.
Camp life, when the skies are unpropi-
tious, is not by any means very enjoy
able. In fact, inclement weather robs
the camp Of It's best and most attrac-
tive sports.
Boys who are thinking Of spending
a short time at Lake Johanna should
make application at once as the regis
tration for July is practically filled.
A new rule was inaugurated this sum-
mer, namely, not more than thirty
five boys will be entertained at the
Camp at one time. This rule makes
control and proper supervision secure.
1t will be necessary TO close the
Camp early in August this year as
other duties await the Director before
the opening of school. Send in yonr
application at once.

The following table indicates the
actual condition of Professionalism in
the various Latin-American countries,
says America" 1t was officially pre-
pared by the Panama Commission on
Survey and Occupation" on whose
executive committee was DR.. H. K.
Carroll Only the totals are given
here, but they will suffice to form an
accurate estimate of Protestant &C
tivity.
The total number of foreign Prot
estant missionaries in all these coun-
tries is 2,010. They are divided as fol-
lows: Ordained missionaries, 700;
physicians, men and women, "a; lay
male missionaries, not physicians, $50;
married women, not physicians, $50;
unmarried women and widows, not
physicians, 418. The total number of
native, Latin-American Protestant
missionaries is 4161. They are thus
divided: Ordained men, 566; unor-
dained men, preachers, teachers and
other workers, 2,540; women mission.
aries, consisting of Bible women,
teachers, and other workers, 1,055.
There are SIS stations with resident
foreign missionaries and 1868 sub-sta-
tions having regular work. The church
organizations number 1882, the full
communicates 257 7,103, and the adher-
ents, 421, ,937. There are 35 theological,
normal and training schools, 101 board
ing and high schools and 1000 ele-
mentary and village schools. The to-
tai contributions of Latin Americans
in United States gold are estimated at
$919,808. Medical missions have been
established in nine of the Latin
American countries. Mexico has one
hospital and five dispensaries and
Porto Rico three hospitals and nine
dispensaries under Protestant control
Naturally these interesting statistics
are not complete, since it was impos
chile for the Commission gafal e re
turns from all the missionary societies
but they are sufficiently suggestive OF
the work that is being done by the
various Protestant denominations. Ric
de Janeiro, Buenos Aires and the City
of Mexico have been selected for the
founding of universities, and a college
is to be erected at Panama. Theo
logical seminaries and publishing
agencies are to be established in seven
leading cities. A seminary is to be
opened during the coming autumn in
the City of Mexico and the several
mission presses of Buenos Aires are tc
be consolidated into one large estab
lishment. For a correct perspective
we must take into account the popu
lation of these. Latin-American coun
tries, which often mounts up into the
millions. Thus Colombia has 5,O0O,OOt
inhabitants. Central America 100000
Peru 100000, Uruguay 100000, ant
Brazil as many as 25,000,000.
