CURTISS SENTENCED TO
 NINE MONTHS IN JAIL
Begged Sheriff to Shoot Him When Jury Returned
 Verdict

E. W. Curtiss, who was found guilty of criminal libel by a jury in the superior court at Litchfield last week, was sentenced by Judge George E. Hinman to nine months in jail. The attorneys in the case, Walter Holcomb for the state and Thomas J. Wall for Curtiss, had asked that sentence be deferred but after a conference they withdrew their re- quest. Curtiss almost collapsed when the jury brought in it's verdict. After the first shock was over he showed signs of becoming violent and was caught and held by one of the court officers. "I'll give you $100 if you'll shoot me-" he shouted to the sheriff. He was trembling so hard that he could scarcely stand. No appeal will be filed, Attorney Wall said.
 Consideration of the charge of contempt of court, which has also been preferred against Curtiss, was scheduled for II o'clock :?
 morning. A plea in abatement was filed by Attorney Wall and the case was continued subject to call by the court.
 The libel charge against Curtiss was based on pamphlet which he printed and circulated attacking Judge Burpee, Lawyer Herman and others. The alleged contempt of court is that he refused and continues to refuse to obey an order of the court to divulge the whereabouts of his daughter. His defense is that he doesn't know where the daughter is.
 Curtiss' case began early in the year. His wife had sued for divorce. Pending the suit an arrangement was effected between husband and wife by which she was to have custody of their child and he was to be per mitted to take the child out day. timestimes. One night he failed to return with the child, and through Lawyer Samuel A. Herman, of Win sted, Mrs. Curtiss brought action be- fore Judge Lucien F. Burpee in the court to secure complete custody of the child until decision was made in the divorce case. When Curtiss appeared in this action, Judge Burpee ordered him to produce the child forthwith. Curtiss disappeared at once, and the child also.

FINISHING TOUCH TO
 THE LOAN ACTIVITIES
Liberty Loan Chairmen Meet at Hartford on
 Nov. 11th

Connecticut will put the finishing touch to its Liberty Loan activities on Tuesday, November 11th, at 12:15 o'clock, when, in the presence of His Excellency, Governor Marcus H Holcomb, and various members of the Connecticut Liberty Loan Com. mittee, the American Flag which flew over the Capitol at Washington throughout the war period will be raised over the state Capitol at Hartford.
 Efforts are being made to have guards of honor of the Connecticut State Guard in attendance, as well as a large turnout of the school children of Hartford.
 Invitations have been sent to Lib- erty Loan Chairmen throughout the State to be in Hartford on Armistice Day to participate in the exercises at the State Capitol.
 This flag was first used over the National Capitol on March 5, 1917, when President Wilson was inaugur- ated for the second time; its second appearance was on April 2, 1917, when President Wilson addressed a joint session of Congress on the sub- ject of War with Germany, and the flag again flew when Congress, by joint action, declared war. During the almost two years that intervened, the flag was used on all historic occa- sions and even after Armistice Day, it was the flag that was displayed over the National Capitol upon the occasion of the visits of the various allied countries to this country.
 Another unique distinction is found in the fact that this flag was raised above the National Capitol on the only occasion in the history of this country when the emblem of another nation was displayed from the dome. This occasion was the visit of the French Commission, headed by Marshall Joffre, and at that time the American banner was displayed in company with the French Tricolor.

PIan To Unite English Church.
 Aud WesIeysan
Bishop. of London Proposes Anglicans and Methodists
 Combine

LONDON, March 31.-Definite proposals for union of the Wes- leyan Methodist church with the Church of England are made by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Arthur F. w. Ingram, Bishop of London. The bishop suggests that Anglicans and Wesleyans should unite, be- cause. he says, mo religious body was ever closer to the church than the Wesleyans."
 Under his plan, bishops would be present at the ordinations of the Wesleyan Methodist church which would become an order within the Church of England, but would retain its own practices. Wesleyan pastors would, if they preferred. be ordained by Wesley an bishops.
 When the principle of union was established, the Bishop of London would favor exchange of pulpits but he declared that he would reserve judgment on the question of confirmation as he re- garded it as. an open question.

PLAN FOR CONFERENCE COMMITTEE FOR MEAT
 PACKERS IS OPPOSED
Senator Kendrick Proposed Regulation Will Not
 Answer Purpose

WASHINGTON, March S1.-Senator Kendrick of Wyoming, who introduced a bill at the last session of congress providing for the government regula- tion of the meat packing industry, is sued statement tonight opposing the creation of a conference committee of the livestock, industry" as has been proposed for the adjusting of differ ences between the packers, stock raisers and the government He de- clared permanent solution of this situation could not be obtained through the work of such a commit tee.
 'sThe interests of packer, producer and consumer" said Senator Kendrick, may be- conserved, according to my judgment, only by legislation which shall in the first place, remove all graunds for misunderstanding and dis trust, and in the second place give full publicity to all the activities of both the producing and the-consuming mar kets.
 sNo conference committee can bring about these results, because no con ference committee can destroy the ab- solute control which a few packers now exert over the stock markets on the one hand and the distributing sys- tenn on the other. It is essential that the packers be divorced from owner ship and control of the stockyards and that the refrigerator car system of the country be placed absolutely at the service of all shippers upon equal terms. These reforms may be secured only by legislation"

TURKEY IS DECLARED
 WELL SUPPLIED WITH
 FOOD; PRICES HIGH
Vegetables Abundant, All Kinds Being Offered. and
 Cost Is Moderate
coNsTANTINoPLE. Feb. 2s. 2

CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 2S - Correspondence of the Associated Press. Contrary to reports Turkey is we'll supplied with food. and, while prices are unusually high, they are much lower than those prevailing in the Balkan states ana m some other Countries of Europe
 The following list of current prices which the consumer is called upon to pay shows the actual condition:
 Flour, 26 cents a pound; potatoes, II cents; beans. 20 cents: meat 50 cents. and eggs 90 cents a dozen.
 Vegetables of all kinds are not only abundant, but relatively cheap. Cloth ing and shoes also may be had. but generally the prices charged are SO high as to take them far beyond the purses of the poor. Hotel rates are lower than in most European cities, and the service is as good as could be expected in country just emerg- ing from a long war
 Flour Ten Gents.
 In order that 4oodstuffs may be placed within range of the poor, the American food administration is now selling white flour at 10 cents a pound. which is expected to bring down other prices as far as the actual necessities are concerned. The work of the Americans is attracting wide attention and much interest.
 Drugs, and, in fact, all medicines. are very scare and expensive Most large centers in Turkey and' Asia Mi nor need medical assistance
 The care of a million or more desti- ute Armenian, Syrian and Greek ref ugees in the Caucasus and throughout Asia Minor presents a most serious problem. It is estimated that there are in these countries no less than half a million fatherless children, whose condition demands immediate relief. The American committee for relief in the Near East is taking up the task, but is finding that it's re- sources are being severely taxed.
 Smallpox Prevalent.
 Smallpox is prevalent in Constanti- nople two cases having developed in the American colony, while the Swed- ish minister is only now recovering from a severe attack. Most hospitals are hard pressed for medicines and supplies. while the shortage of phy- sicians is pronounced.
 Finances. too. are disturbing the Turks. The Turkish bound has de- preciated; it's present value being. 20 per cent below normal, while gold is at high premium The exchange of money of most other countries also has declined the American dollar. the English pound and the Greek drachmai being the only issues which have stood firmly at par.
