MCMILLAN HAS RESIGNED
Main Street Business Man No Longer Vice President and Director of Commercial Trust Company.

Dugald McMillan, vice president and one of the board of directors of the Commercial Trust company, has resigned these positions, it became known today. MT. McMillan was one of the prime movers in the organiza- tion of this banking house and has always taken an active interest in it's management, but it is said that fn- creased business duties of a private nature have made 1t impossible for him to devote additional time to the bank.
 The officials of the bank have not yet decided just when they will meet to choose MT McMiIlan's successor.
 Officers of the bank stated this morning that they deeply regretted MT. McMillan's action as his influence at the bank has been felt all along and his advice in business matters has always been dependable.

"TEDDY" THOUGHT T HIS DUTY ID. OFFER COMPROMISE CANDIDATE.

Oyster Bay, June 10.-Col Roose-
 welt in a telegram sent this morn
 ing to the progressive convention at
 Chicago, suggested the name of Sen-
 ator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massa
 chusetts as a compromise candidate
 upon whom both progressives and re-
 publicans could unite.
 Col. Roosevelt said that at about
 o'clock this morning he was notified
 by the progressive cOnferees that they had come to no conclusion with the republican conferees and that the re- publican conferees had again asked for any suggestion of a name, as a candidate from the progressive con- ferees. He then wrote to the pro- gressive conferees stating that he deeply appreciated their loyalty to him and their efforts to get him nominated but that he thought the time had come when, carrying out the spirit of the statement of the progressive naional committee in January and the statement made by him in Trinidad in February, it was their duty to pre- sent an alternative name on which he hoped the republicans and progres- sives could unite.
 Why He Favored Lodge.
 Continuing MT. Roosevelt said he presented the name of Henry Cabot Lodge He quoted the three para graphs of his telegram to former Sem ator Jackson, of Maryland of day be- fore yesterday
 In his letter he stated that MT. Lodge had been member of the lower house of, congress and of the senate of the United States for thirty years. that he was a man of the high est integrity, great farsightedness, and of wide vision as to national needs; that he had been twenty years on the foreign affairs commit tee of the senate and had taken part in the most important negotiations, being for example, member of the international Alaskan boundary com- mission; that he had also been on | the naval committee; that he had | fought vigorously in behalf of the navy, to upbuild it; that he had stood for fortifying the Panama Canal, and had favored in every way the up- building of the army; that in addition to this he had championed the safety appliances bill for railroad men, the workmen's compensation act, the pure food law, the anti-child labor bill, the Hepburn rate bill and a bill to estab- fish a bureau of corporations and many similar measures; that he means every word he said in his re- cent speeches, in his Trinidad state ment and in his telegram to Senator Jackson day before yesterday, that he had put the needs of the country as he saw them in the sentence quoted in his letter to MT. Jackson; that the

LANDERS WINS
Momand Must Show Former Mayor of New Britain Did Conspire to Injure His Business.

Justice Dugro of the New York su-
 preme court has set aside the verdict
 rendered by the jury in favor of the
 defendant in the case of Landers vs Momand. George M. Landers of this city, sued Ragland Momand for libel on account of a telegram which the latter sent to him o the 9th day of October, 1913, accusing him of con- spring to ruin ---~ -----ure Lighting company in the interest of the United Gas and Improvement company of Pennsylvania.
 MT. Landers was the president of the Pressure Lighting company and Momand an inventor who is interest ed in it, concluded that the lack of success of his invention was due to the fact that the Gas Trust was in- terfering with him. It transpired that MT. Landers was a personal friend of the counsel of the trust, and Momand, therefore, concluded that there must have been a conspiracy and so charged MT. Landers in his telegram Mr Landers resented this charge and brught an action against Momand for libel.
 The jury found that MT. Landers ] had not been libeled, but the court l has now set aside the verdict and a new trial, in which Mo- l mand will have to show that MT. | Landers did conspire as he stated.
