MT. Brodeur the newly elected president, is one of the most active members of the Cercle d'Advance- ment. He has always been interested in the welfare of the society, and has done much to bring about its success and present state of prosperity. In addition to this, Mir. Brodeur has shawn nnusnal interest in matters at present is serving as represenrarrvr in the state legislature. He is affili- ated with several local organizations, and recently was selected as delegate to represent Putnam Council, No. AT, St Jean Baptiste, at the Union St. Jean Baptiste convention to be held in Springfield in October.
 Mir. Brodeur has always been an ar dent baseball fan, and at one time was manager of the c. A. C. team. On the field his host of friends always knew him as "Chick." He has also ever been willing to take part in anna teur theatricals, and has acquired con- siderable success as a comedian.
 Mr. Brodeur is employed as sales man at the Blanchette store. He is married and has one daughter.
 The Cercle Advancement was never in more prosperous condition that at present, and no small amount of the credit for this prosperity rests with the retiring officers, who have been earnest workers, and who have done all that lay in their power to bring about the steady growth of the organization. They have served well, and have been untiring in their efforts to increase the society's strength. They gladly retire in favor of the new officers who they feel certain will take the work up where they left it, and carry it along so that the society may continue to do it's work as thor oughly and successfully in the future, as it has done in the past.

 The following statement, relative to the arrest last Tuesday of 48 suf fragists, was issued this Friday through Miss Katherine Byrne of this city:
 Wanted-by the police of the dis trict of Columbia, a reason for their arrest of the forty-eight suffragists taking part in the protest demonstra- ton Tuesday afternoon in front of the statue of Lafayette.
 The women appeared in the police court Wednesday morning, according to instruction, but were immediately asked by the government for weeks grace until the prosecuting attorney, Mir. Ralph Givens, could find out on what charge they could be tried The suffragists are, therefore, in the un- precedented position of being requir- ed to give bail, although charged with no offense.
 At present the officials are debating whether they could prefer charges of violation of an obsolete park regula- tion forbidding congregating in the public park, repealed in 1902, or of the espionage law by women releasa a4 on $500 bail, or of the old Coxev statue. passed 25 years ago by Con- gress to prevent walking on the grass of the Capitol grounds. None of these laws are applicable in the suf- frage cases, according to MT. Mathew O'Brien, counsel for the suffragists.
 The.members of the Woman s Par ty protested vigorously against any delay in the trial Many of the wo- men arrested, came long distances some even from California, Texas, and Oregon, and as Mrs. Helena Hill Weed, selected to handle the case for the other suffragists in court, pointed out. wait of a week longer in Wash ington is almost impossible.
