Union Missionary Meeting.

The friendly spirit of Christian CO.
operation. that parades the various
church activities of the city, was
shown in a marked degree in the in
terdenominational day of prayer,
held in the M. E. church, Thursday,
March 1st.
The session of the forenoon was
presided over by Mrs. Ed Kraus. In
tercessory Prayer was the general
theme of the day and the assembly
was many times in prayer for all
phases of missionary work.
''Why this day of Prayer" was
explained in a talk by Mrs. Wood,
as a day set apart for definite prayer
for missions.
Mrs. Hale gave one of her best
missionary readings which was very
suggestive of the growth of interest
in missions with growth of know
| ledge of the work of missions.
Mrs. Snyder sang. "In the Secret of
His Presence" Preparing her solo
with history of that song.
At noon lunch was served and a
social hour was enjoyed by all.
Mrs. Snyder presided during the
afternoon session which opened with
a violin solo by Mr.. Tilley.
Mrs. Rogers read a very interest
/ ing and comprehensive paper pictur-
/
/ sionary."
Rev. West talked on Influence
of Missions on National Ideals" He
emphasized the thought that interest
in missions is the saving at home as
well as abroad. God acts upon the
whole world through missionary &C
tivity. As the act follows the
thought and habit follows the act so
! thinking Gods thoughts after Him
will carry out Gods plans through
US; and Gods ideals for nation can
become through its people nations
ideals. We gave to our own land the
best that we can give.
Miss Birdie and Eva Wood pleased
the audience with vocal duet.
Mrs. Reed presented "The Man
sion." The missionary appeal in this
reading is very strong and all who
heard Mrs. Reed hope to hear hel
again.
All present voted to make this IN
ion missionary meeting an annual
event here and a committee consist
ing OF one member from each church
was appointed to arrange for the
meeting which will be held IN the
Baptist church next year.

HON. ALLYN L. BROWN
 NAMED COURT DEFENDER
Appointment Has Been Made by Judge
 Gardiner Greene.

Hon. Allyn l.. Brown has been ap- pointed defender for the September which opens in Norwich on Sept. 4 The appointment has been made by Judge Gardiner Greene who will pre-
 tide al the session.
 The appointment of court defend CT is in accordance with the provisions of a new law enacted at the last ses- sion of the general assembly. The de-
 tender will act as counsel for all prls- oners who Ire not provided with coun- = seI and will eliminate the custom of having the judge assign counsel to prisoners as they are put to plea dur
 ng the session.
 Lawyers are wondering what will be the full effect of the new law which is now in operation, calling for the appointment of a public defender.
 Under the old way of doing busi- ness a lawyer was appointed by the court for each case, as the accused response to questions that he had no lawyer and desired counsel.
 Tn this way a large number of law yers were recognized and the fees, not very large. in most cases amounting to about S10 were divided up
 At some criminal terms. especially the September term, would be many lawyers in attendance at the opening of the court when prisoners were put to plead
 A list of all the lawyers wishing to get assignments would be prepared and handed to the presiding judge. When a prisoner was put to plea and asked for counsel the judge would se- lect a name from the list. The lawyer would then confer with the prisoner and direct him to plead mot guilty
 In the next q hours the lawyer would spend most of his time trying to get the states attorney to promise to recommend a light penalty upon the prisoner changing his plea to guilty. Once something of the kind was obtained. the lawyer would next labor to get his assigned client to make the changed plea.
 There were occasional exceptions to this, the general rule, but at least three-quarters of the cases at each term would be cleared off the docket in this manner.
 At the last term of the general as- sembly it was proposed to appoint a public defender, just as the judges name a states attorney. The present law was a compromise. Under it's provisions the judges, at their annual sessions, may name a defender, or he must be appointed prior to 30 days be- fore the beginning of the term. Wheth- er or no this will deprive all the law vers of their assignments is not cer- tain. The law is on the books and will be applied for the first time at the coming September term of the crimi- nal superior court which opens Sept. Ii.

ELKS HOLD BAKE
 AT LINCOLN PARK
Nearly Two Hundred and Fity En-
 joyed Big Athletic Programme.

Nearly two hundred and fifty Elks from Norwich, New London and Willi- mantle enjoyed one of the best clam takes ever held by the local lodge at Lincoln Park, Sunday. The boys left the city during the morning, some go- ing by auto and others by trolley. to .he grove, where at noon Chef John Vetter served some of the most deli cious corn fritters that the boys ever tasted.
 After lunch the athletic programme was carried out much to the enjoy Caent of all. The event of the day was lhe chicken chase which was a new feature and furnished all kinds of amusement for those not participating vt, but it was not quite so humorous to those doing the chasing, as many got fe whard knocks. The ball game was a close contest with the odds in favor of the single men. There were many other events which were heartily entered into.
 Tubbs' Military band furnished music during the day. At three o'clock she bake was opened and proved to be a most excellent affair. refiecting great credit on the chef who was George L. Parks.
 The committee in charge of the out ing was as follows: James Hayes. chairman; James Purdon. secretary; James Sample, John Lynch and George o. Benson.

SIX CHINAMEN TAKEN
 IN GAMBLING RAID.
Local Police Squad Swooped Down Suddenly on Laundry on Lower Broadway.

At 1920 o'clock th:s (Monday) morning squad of local police raided the Chinese laundry at 22 Broadway, formerly conducted by Charlie Wing, and placed under arrest the proprietor and five Chinamen on the charge of gambling.
 The police learned that gambling was going on in the laundry Sunday night and Captain D. J. Twomey de- tailed a squad headed by Sergeant John H. Kane to surprise the China men. Little resistance was offered. At the police station the prisoners gave the following names: Gee Wah, 50 years of age, Norwich Gee Sonn, 49 Norwich; Yip Tie, 10. Norwich; Zip Lee, 40, Jewett City: Tip Planky, 42, Norwich Tee Lee, 40, New London.

 The Chinamen were all liberated for their appearance in court Monday morning under bonds of $10O each. Gee Wah, who is charged as the bro prietor, put up $500 in cash as bonds for himself and the five others.
 In the raiding squad were Sergeant John H. Kane and Officers Charles McFadden. John Carroll. Daniel ONei, Patrick Murphy and Ralph Diveto.
