ate. EXccping these two illustrious men, the only other public servant of the state whose record as a na- tional legislator exceeded that of MT. Hills was the Hon. Samuel w. Damn, cl MiddletoWn. MT. Damn was in the house from 1796 to 1S10, and in the senate from 1910, and in the senate from 1910 to lS21, a total of 25 years in Washington. In his own district, one must go back to the days of tho Hon. John Davenport of Stamford. who was in the house of representative at large, and later as congressman from the fourth district from 1799 to 1917, Is years, to ap- proach the service of the man whose memory We have come today to honor Mir. Hilrs record is indeed an unainue one, and one that will not bo cXcelled in Connecticut in many years.
 There are but nine men in con Gress today who sat in the fifty fourth congress when Mir. Hill first entered national life-Mr. Cannon of Illinois NIr. Jones of Virginia. Mr. Cooper of Wisconsin, MT. Gillett of IIassachusetts. MT. Fairchild of New orl<. MT. Crisp of Georgia, Mr. Toss of Illinois. Mir. Mondc1l of Wyoming, and Mir. Parker of New Jersey. Our beloved speaker had been in the Fifty-ti1ird congress, and returned in the Fifty-ffth congress from which time he had been associa ted with Mr. Hill in many important matters, and has on more than one occasion indi- cated his admiration of our deceased colleague.
 The longer an industrious man re- ,ai,, jJ,c l,1> is to his constituency. the greater op- portunity he has for the development of his talents, and the richer is his state for his achievem rents
 MT. Hill was in congress when the United States declared war against Spain in 1898. and when the existence of a state of war thrust upon it by the Imperial German government was formally declared in 1917. He had seen other problems, less historic, in deed, but in themselves large, met and overcome by the country he served so faithfully.
 He leftto his family the priceless heritage of a life we'll spent. It should be to them q rich source of consola- ton; and it should be to every man an incentive to added effort.
 When a man has worked so cease lessly as did MT. TIiInl for the things he thought best one wishes that an All-knowinC Providence had granted him more years in which to continue his constructive activity and to enjoy association with those for whom and with whom he labored, but in his be- ing taken off. still achieving, still pur- suing his family and his friends are comforted with the assurance that when he entered into his reward his stewardship was accounted for 8 hum dredfod.''

TANKS GET EDDIE
Huegins and Mack Complete Big Deal Giving New York Team Hard Hit ting OutficIdcr.

New York, March S.--On the eve of his departure for the Southland yes tcrday Manager Miller Hugsins startled the town with the most sur prising bit of news that has oozed out of the Yankee offices this winter, Ping Bodie. the Pacific Coast fence breaker, will play in the Yankee out field during the coming season. Hug gins had to pursue and gum shoe his way on a roundabout course to land Bode. He bought Firstba scn1an George Burns from Detroit and then presented Burns to Connie Mack in re turn for Rodie
 Thus it happened that at the eleN- enth hour the hard-hitting outGeldcr which Huesins has been looking for ever since he took command of the Tanks has at last arrived. Huggjns has intimated right along that he was after Outflelder Clarence Walker, who went 10 the Athletics in a trade with Boston. In Bodic, however. the Yankee manager has a, much harder hitter than Walker and one who should drive in a great many runs.
 Bndie had a batting average of ," with the Athletics last season which was a higher mark than any member of the Yankees attained. The best batsmsn of the Yankees was Frank Baker with .2s2. It is as a long hit ter that Bodie should be of Nalu" to the Yankees. Last year he had 2s tWo- baggers Il threo-ha%e hits and had seven home runs to his credit. The only American Ieaguer who was bet ter than Dodie at hitting home runs was Walter Pipp. who made ninc while Ty Cobb was tied with Bodie with seven.
 r. George Burns. who goes to the Philadelphia Athletics in exchange for Ping Bodje. is subject 10 the National Army draft Connie Mack. of the Athletics. lart night said he did not know whether Burns ha d been placed in Glass l under thA new classification. but he did know that his draft num- bcr was well back.
