AM MM unique as prob
Ct X3uhX ably the first
Va Ks state which was
HNAA@@ created In the
SSZLZ world by writ
~ ten constitution.
1t was really an offshoot from
Massachusetts, for In 1886 there
was dissatisfaction over the form
OF government among the Puri-
tans in Cambridge, Watertown
and Dorchester. the three towns
surrounding Boston. A large
part Of these three towns, there
fore, decided to journey to the
Connecticut valley. as they had
heard that there was to be found
excellent farm land, and the
Dutch from New Netherlands
had been forced out the previous
year by the erection by the Eng
lish of fort at Saybrook at the
mouth Of the river. The Cam
bridge people, under the leader
ship of their pastor, Hooker,
founded Hartford, the Dorches-
ter people settled Windsor, and
those from Watertown estab-
lished Wethersfield. For few
years they remained a part of
Massachusetts, but early in 1889
the people of these three towns
met and drew up written con-
stitution and agreed to govern
themselves. Meanwhile, in 1888.
large company of colonists un-
der the leadership of John Dav-
export arrived from England and
settled the town of New Haven,
later spreading to Milford and
Stamford. These two distinct
colonies were later united and
took the name of Connecticut
from its principal river. This is
an Algonquin Indian name mean
ing long river" 1t became the
fifth state to join the Union
when it adopted the Constitution
on January 0, 17S8. 1t is some
times called the Land of Steady
Habits, but is more popularity
known as the Nutmeg state from
the humorous accusation that
its peddlers were accustomed to
palm off wooden nutmegs to
their customers. The area Of
Connecticut Is 1866 square
miles, the third smallest of our
states. Its population, however,
entities it to seven electoral
votes for president.

would certainly be astounded and per-
haps hOrrihed TO find how great a part
material theories play in human cal

a recognition or acceptance IS given to
spiritual facts. Our world OF today ac-
cepts as science that which deals wholly
with material things. and whatever
thought enters into its sO-called scien-
tifc calculations, Is always mortal or
material. This world likewise accepts
theology which is supposed to be quite
apart from science, and indeed until re
Gently 1t was considered little less than
blaspbemous to couple theology and sci
ence. It may well be asked If science Is
not akin TO Christianity or Christliness
IS 1t OF any value to humanity and in
deed Is it not anti Christian unless based
on spiritual facts? Also II theology is
not related to science can it possibly be
true, for to be true it must be scientific,
since the word science means only ex
act knowledge: These material views
OF science and theology have naturally
evolved a healing system which is based
wholly on material theories and which

NeW Affinity
of StilLmGn
Is Disclosed
Was Cause of Dismissal of
DiUorce Action, Is
Claim.

NEW YORK, May PA former
affinity Of James A. Stillman, whom he
had srurned, went to the National City
Bank to shoot bim while the famous di-
vorce suit Sensation was at its zenith, it
was disclosed today.
Equipped with a revolver, this new
woman oe mystery tried to gain access
to his office in the bank Of which Still
man then was president. This woman
then volunteered to testify on behalf OF
Mrs. "Fii' Potter Stillman and 1t was
this that prompted the multimilliOnalre
ex-banker's sudden decision to settle the
case out of court to the tune of an an
nuity of more than $4,000 for his wife.
At conference today at the offices or
Mrs Stillman's attorney at which John
Mack, guardian of Guy, was today pres
ent as well as all members of her staff
of attorneys, 1t was believed that the
final details of the settlement offered by
James A. Stillman would be agreed upon.
John Mack since the question of a set
tlement was first presented by Stillman's
lawyers, has stood out against any com
promise. 1t was not certain today that
he would consent to the present terms.
He was said to be of the opinion that
nothing short of a decision from Justice
Morschauser establishing for all time
Guys legitimacy would satisfy him.

LLOYD GEORGE AND
BRAND CONFERRING?

LONDON, May 23-Premlers BRAND
of France and Lloyd George of Great
Britain were absent from their usual
haunts yesterday and early today.
Likewise the French ambassador could
not be located here nor could the British
ambassador to France be located in
Paris.
Members of the four stats professed
ignorance of where their chiefs werc
spending the weekend.
The mysterious absence Of the four Of
ficials at the very height Of the Upper
Silesia controversy gave rise to much
speculation. With the airplane bringing
Paris and London so close to each other
there were numerous rumors that the two
premiers had met somewhere on the
French coast to reach an agreement on
how to dispose of the troublesome ST.
lesian problem.
Throughout the arguments featured by
the heated statements issued first from
Britain, then from Paris, there have been
rumors thta the two actually were not
so far apart as they appeared to be. Both
being astute politicians, some of their
opponents argued, there was a possibility
that they were using the situation to put
their parliaments more strongly behind
them.
BRAND was certain Of a vote Of con-
fidence when the council resumes debate
Of his policies this week. Lloyd Georges
statements opposing the French pro-
cedure in Silesia were credited with sol
idifying the premier's position.
Meanwhile there were reports that
Lloyd George had devoted his week END
to conferences on the mine strike, which
many officials appeared 10 believe would
be settled this week.

ONLY DEFENDANT
IN CASE LACKING
Court Record Imposing Six
Months Sentence Complete.

Federal authorities believe that it is
just about time that Willis d. (Pete) VIII
liams, whose conviction for violation of
the Federal liquor laws in the Federal
Court almost two years ago and was
recently approved by the Supreme Court
of the United States comes in, gives him
self up and Begins the serving of the six
months jail sentence imposed on him by
Judge Anderson.
Last week the mandate of the Supreme
Court decision was received by Noble C.
Butler, clerk of the Federal Court, and
the only thing lacking to the serving Of
Pete's sentence was Pete himself. SO far
he has not put in appearance, although
on April IS he came to Mr.. Buffers Of
fee and paid $5S634, representing the
fine of $1OO imposed OF him by Judge
Anderson, together with costs in the case.
Judge Anderson pronounced sentence
on Williams and his son Azel July 8.
1919 Pete was given a jail sentence of
six months and a fine of 800, while Azel
got off with fine of 800. Williams and
his son appealed their cases to the Su
preme Court on constitutional grounds,
but the verdict of the lower court was
upheld in a decision handed down
recently.
