PEACE TELEGRAMS FLOODING
WILSON AND WASHINGTON

WILSON AND WASHINGTON
Washington, Feb. 1O-A virtual
propaganda to influence the govern
ment against entering war against
Germany is under way throughout
country.
Thousands of letters and tele-
grams, inspired by different individ-
uals, classes and organizations, are
being sent to white house, other gov
eminent departments and congress.
They have originated in Socialist or
gans, peace leagues and many are
believed to be inspired by former
Sec'y of State Bryan.
Today's influx of kilograms was
overwhelming in wake of news that
Pres. Wilson does not contemplate
war as his next step against Ger
many, if some overt act demands
more aggressive action.

San Francisco, Feb. 10.-ThOs. J.

Superior Judge Franklin Griffin next
Tuesday, following his conviction Of

Returning its verdict after less
than six hours elaboration last
night, the jury declined to include a
recommendation of clemency, and
Judge Griffin has no alternative but
to send the convicted man to the gal

In the midst of the excitement
which swept the city following the

A. A. LYMAN DIES
 FOLLOWING FALL
Maple Street Sewer Contractor SuCCumbS to Cerebral ImbeIIiSm

Abner A. Lyman of 113 Maple street, died yesterday afternoon at his home following a fall at Barnes dale while supervising some sewer work. News of MT. Lyman's demise caused surprise throughout the city. He was about 79 years of age, and for the past 40 years has lived in this city where he carried on a sewer con- tracting business.
 Early yesterday morning he was on his way to a tool box to get an inn plement for one of his workmen, when he slipped or piece of ice, striking heavily on his left hand which doubled up under him. Assistance immediately came to his side and he was taken to a house nearby for treatment. For the remainder of the forenoon, MT. Lyman remained around the job, and when noon arrived he went home. pr. Joseph Robinson the family physician, was notified of the accident with instructions to be at the Lyman home. Examination by Dr. Robinson disclosed that MT. Ly- mans left wrist was badly fractured, besides suffering from the shock, and the injured man was ordered to bed immediately.
 During the afternoon, the prescrip ton which the physician ordered failed to arrive from the drug store, and Miss Lyman called the doc tor on the telephone regarding it. On leaving the phone, she detected an odd noise coming from the injured mans bedroom. Rushing to the bed side, Miss Lyman at once noticed that her father had an apparent change m condition and pr. Robinson was summoned. Before his arrival MT. Lyman died. Dr. Roger M. Griswold of Berlin, who is acting medical ex- aminer i'll place of Dr. Harry A. FL cock, who is indisposed. gave the cause of death due to cerebral imbellism.
 MT. Lyman was born in South Co., ventry, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Eli Lyman. He was descendant of Richard Lyman, one of the original settlers of the city of Hartford. On leaving his native town, MT. Lyman resided in Sutfield for period. and then came to this city, where he worked for his uncle who was super intendent of the water department. He continued in this capacity until 1883. when he entered into business as sewer contractor. During the twenty eight years he conducted the business, he did some of the biggest jobs in the city, having handled most of the fac tory work
 Politically, MT. Lyman was a re- publican. He was member of the First Baptist church and the New England Order of Protection.
 He was a widower, his wife dying about three years ago. Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. Marion L. Par ker of Oakhurst, N. J., Mrs Ella Hale Talmadge of Reds> Bank, N. J., and Miss A. F. Lyman of New Brit ain; two brothers, A. J. Lyman of Suf1eld and Rev. H. Lyman or, Nor walk, O.; and two sisters, Mrs. Earl Hathaway of Hartford and Mrs. H. ID. Sackett of Hollywood, California. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at o'clock. Rev. Dr. Earle B. Cross will of1lciate at the services and burial will be in Fairview ceme' tery. ''.'.

OUR LAWSUIT.

DR.. Boyd, the chief Baptist of the
nation around whom more war is be-
ing waged at this time than around any
other Baptist in the world, and upon
whom more eyes are centered than
upon any other one Negro in the
world, has suggested that the con-
troversy between the National Baptist
Convention and the National Baptist
Publishing Board and the Incorporat-
ed National Baptist Convention and
the Incorporated National Baptist
Publishing Board should not be
fought out in the newspapers, should
not be tried in the jublic journals, but
should be left to the courts to decide.
The editor of the Peoples Defend
er heartily agrees with the advice of
this old sage, and yet feels it not out
of place to suggest to the public in
terested in the final outcome of this
matter that the lawsuit is progressing
nicely, for indeed there are hundreds
of people all over the country among
the rank and file of the Baptists who
are more interested than one at first
sight would think. The laity of the
church, the intelligent laity of the
church who believe in Negro progress
and Negro enterprise are exceedingly
anxious as to the final outcome of
the National Baptist Publishing
House. They realize that IL the in
corporated brethren are to win in
their contention that the race, and
especially the Baptists will be set
back many, many years, and therefore
they are praying God that the arms OF
those in the lead of our contention
shall be strengthened, and that the
enemies Of Baptist. regularity, that
the enemies OF racial progress and
