HEARING IN NEW HAVEN
ON RECEIVERS PETITION
Asks Court for Permission to
Issue 100000 Receivers
Certificate

A meeting of the creditors of the
Barnum-Richardso Co. was called
for 2 o'clock Wednesday (yester-
day. at the United States court
room in New Haven to seek permits
sion for the receiver to issue $780,
900 of receivers certificates. OF
this 100000 about 100000 is to be
expended upon completion and out
fitting of the works at the Connecti-
cut Chemical Co. which, it develops,
stands on land belonging to that
corporation and not to the Barnum-
Richardson Co., and covered by a
mortgage of 100000 issued by the
Chemical Co.
The Barnum-R Richardson Co. has
outstanding $4,000 of first mort
gage bonds and $284,00O of refund
ing bonds, and, if the holders of rs
per cent of these will pledge their
bonds as additional security the GER
tificates can be placed. The arrange
ment is said to have been definitely
made.
The receiver says ITO suspend
completion at this time would appar-
emily result in a total loss of the
amount already invested there,
$4,000. If the business should stop
and the property be liquidated for
the benefit Of creditors, it is more
than probable that there will be a
large deficiency upon foreclosure Of
the mortgages, so that, although
there are assets that do not appear
to be covered by the lien of the
mortgages, the percentage Of reali-
zation to the unsecured creditors,
after sharing with a deficiency judg-
ment on the mortgages, would, it is
feared, be small"
The statement of the Barnum-
Richardson Co., as set out in the re-
ceiver's letter to creditors, shows a
balance sheet of $1,421, 249.05, with
100000 CT preferred stock on each
side as authorized bat not placed
Woodlands are put in at $61,793.70
and land, buildings and machinery
at $745,662. The statement says
that the business for five months
ended with Sept. 80, 1918, showed
a net loss of $16,884.58.

LOCAL BOARD NO. 10
WILL CLOSE DEC. 18th
Major Buckley Receives Orders
for Discharge of Limited
Service Men

Major John Buckley of Hartford
received telegram from the provost
marshal, quoting an order from the
war department to the effect that as
the local draft boarads will not be
needed to complete the demobiliza-
ton of the returning soldiers, they
are to report to Major Buckley an
estimate of the earliest date upon
which they can wind up their affairs
and go out of business.
Major Buckley said that he
thought the process of completing
the classification of the men between
10 and 81 could easily be completed
before January 1. The boards are
required to complete all pending
classifcations and other matters
which are so far incomplete before
they demobilize themselves.
Major Buckley has also received
orders to discharge the limited SER
vice men who have been doing cleri-
cal work at the draft board Offices
as soon as the need for them is
passed. The men will be sent to
Fort Slocum, N. Y, where they were
indicted, to have their discharge
completed.
Chairman J. Clinton Roraback of
local board division No. 10 has mott
fed Washington that he can close
his office by Dec. Is. He expects to
finish all work by that time and to
seal all questionaires and other re-
cords pertaining to this district by
Dec. r. The local board handled
the names of about 4,500 registrants
and the work was strenuous at
times.

MAJOR BISSELL OF LAKE
WILLIE, DIED MONDAY
Was Prominent Surgeon and
Authority on Use of
Radium

The following account of he
death of Major Bissell, a native Of
Lakeville, is taken from a New
York paper as follows:
Major Joseph Bidleman Bissel.
celebrated, radium specialist, a man
whose work, since he gave up prf-
vate practice to serve his country In
the medical corps, has been the
means of saving unnumbered hives,
died Monday, at his home, as West
55th street. Death was due, it Ia
said, to an infection of the blood
contracted at Fort McHenry, Md,
where Major Bissell was serving as
chief surgeon. The funeral services
were held Wednesday, with a re-
QUEEN mass celebrated at st. Pas
rick's cathedral.
Major Bissell, who was So years
old, was native of Lakeville, Conn.
educated at Armenia seminary and at
Yale, where he was q member Of
Alpha Chi and Chi Phi fraternlties
and an editor of the Yale News. His
medical schooling was received at
the College of Physicians and Snr-
geons, Columbia university, and In
the hospitals of Vienna and Munich
For 81 years he was an attending
surgeon at Bellevue and St. Vicent's
hospitals.
Throughout his long and distin-
guished career Major Bissell was
noted as one who was ever willing
to perform operations on persons
who could not afford to pay. In 1915,
when he performed the first radium
operation for cancer ever attempted
at Bellevue hospital, it was laborer,
James Grogan, who was the patient
DR.. Bissell-as he then was-plaeed
$4,000 worth of the costly cement
on the patients eyelid.
1t was shortly after this that DIR.
Bissell sailed for England to under
take special treatment of wounded
at st. Mary's hospital, London, and
instruct the English surgeons in the
use of radium on wounds where sep
tic poisining had set in. After ex-
tended war work in both England
and France characterized as invalu-
able by his assistants, DR.. Bisseh in
July of this year, went to Camp
Custer for a six weeks military
course. It was here that he OBJ
tanned his commission as major and
his appointment to Fort McHenry.
Eight years ago DR.. Bissell estab-
lished a sanitarium in New York for
the treatment of cancer with radi-
UNI. He leaves a widow, two sons
and two daughters.

Christ Church Notes

The services next Sunday will be
morning prayer and sermon at 10.t5
Church School at noon and Vesper
Service at a o'clock.
A special season of prayer is be
ing observed by the Tomea Of the
Episcopal church throughout the
country. 1t is known as the Advent
Call" In every parish there is n
band of messengers who visit every
woman of the church and invite her
to use a booklet of prayers. The
idea is to get the women throughout
our nation to put the power OF
prayer behind the righteous efforts
of the Allies and to learn them
selves how to render more conse-
Grated service to the nation and the
Kingdom of God.
The children of the diocese of
Connecticut are asked to make An
Advent Offering for the relief Of the
100000 destitute and starving boys
and girls of Armenia and Syria. The
Thanksgiving offering win be added
to the children's Offering. Those
who were unable TO attend service
on that day and who wish to share
in this worthy cause may send con-
tributions to the Rector.
The following were baptized hast
