INGERSOLL HELD
100000 SHORT
Bankruptcy Petition Against
Watch Concern Lists S.
100000 Liabilities.

New York, Dec 27-An invoIun-
tary petition in bankruptcy was fill
ed in Federal Court today against
Robert II. Ingersoll & Brother, manu-
facturers of Ingersoll watches, of this
city. Liabilities were set forth as
$3,000,00O and assets, exclusive of
good will, as 100000.
The concern admitted its inability
to pay its debts and expressed willing
ness to be adjudged bankrupt.
The proceedings we're brought by
the National City Bank of New York,
Chase National Bank of New York
and Hathaway, Smith, Folds & Com
pany, with combined claims of $780,
900.
Edward H. Childs was appointed
receiver under bond of $4,000.
The company has plants in Tren-
ton, N. j., Waterbury, Conn, and Chi
cago.
The petition for receiver, which set
forth that the concern had agencies
all over the United States and con-
trolled the Ingersoll Watch Company,
Ltd, of London, asserted that COM
mittee of creditors appointed last May
had been supervising the business.
The petition asserted also that
claims totalling $3.50, 469 had been
deposited with this committee and
that plan for reorganization of the
company would be submitted to the
creditors.
Robert Fl. Ingersoll was the origi-
nator of the dollar watch, Recent
reports showed that since the manu-
facturer of the famous cheap time
piece known as the Waterbury watch
down to the present time almost
100 ,000,0 900 had been sold.
Since it's manufacture was started.
however, the price of the dollar
watch increased materially.
No reasons were ascribed for the
company's financial difficulties.
Howard c. Smith, chairman of the
creditors committee, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
The creditors committee has APP
piled for.this bankruptcy for the pro-
lection of creditors and with view to
reorganization.

A CORRECTION

In our issue of last week we stated
that the local High School b. b.
team played jacksonville Basket
Ball team in the latter place etc. We
have been informed that the team was
in no wise representing the local
school and was not accompanied by
any of the teachers or any represen-
tatiye of the faculty, although the
boys who played in the jacksonville
game compose the Hartford High

IRISH SENTIMENT
IN FAVOR OF PACT
De Valera May Cancel OPP
position Is Rumor
In London.

London, Dec. 81. = Sentiment
throughout Ireland, as reflected IL
dispatches to London newspapers to
day, is overwhelmingly in favor Of
the Irish peace treaty. Reports from
various provinces indicate that fully
go per cent of the people in the TWEEN
ty-slx counties of Southern ireland
want the pact ratified.
This confirms predictions made
when the Dali Eireann adjourned its
debate on the treaty last Thursday
until January that the recess would
bring definite expression OF the PEG.
pies Will, and the view is now put
forward that when the Dali reassem-
bles the treaty will be approved by a
majority which will make an appeal
to the country unnecessary.
The Morning Posts correspondent
says a rumor is afoot of a possible
again, this being taken to mean that
canon de Valera intends to announce
sensation" before the Dali meets
withdrawal of his opposition in view
of the weight of opinion for the
treaty.
The Times sent a special correspon-
dent to County Clare, the Council of
which appealed to Mr.. de Valera to
abandon his opposition. According
to the correspondent. the Councils
action Is Endorsed with pride by a
vast ma ority of the people. Clare is
known as "the banner county" from
its having been the traditional home
OF Irish political movements, among
them Daniel O'Connell's emancipa-
ton campaign and Charles Stewart
Darnelrs land league struggle, and
its people regard the Council as hav-
ing lived up to traditions.
The reporter discussed the ques-
ton with all ranks and classes of
people from the highest ecclesiastics
to the lowest menials and says that,
while he heard nothing in disparage-
ment of Mr.. de Valera, he was assur-
ed that from 20 to 80 per cent of
the country favors the treaty. The
minority he believed to be mostly
members of the Irish Republican ar
my.
The Dublin correspondent of the
Times cites as evidence of the public
support Of the treaty the fact that a
long letter from Erskine Childers,
published in the newspapers Satur-
day, explaining and supporting the
alternative oath of allegiance ascrib-
ed to Mr.. de Valera, attracted little
interest. Moreover, it was regarded
as breach of the agreement made
before the Dali rising that none of
the members would issue controver-
sial statements during the recess and
was interpreted as an indication that
de valsra's party is increasingly in
fear of defeat.

MOVIES CONE At
A BILLION A YEAR
Public Pays Enormous Sum
For Its Screen En-
tertainment.

Washington, Dec. 27-The Ameri-
can people spend from seven hundred
and fifty million dollars to one bill
lion dollars a year to see motion pic
lures, the Senate Finance Committee
was told today in the course of argu-
ments for and against high tariff on
foreign-made pictures. The invest
ment in the industry totals about
$3.50 900, 900 and employment is CIV
en- to about 100000 persons.
Paul NJ. Turner, of New York,
speaking for the Actors Equity AS
ISOLATION, testified that the idea that
everybody connected with the indus
try made "big money" was erroneous;
that 96 per cent of those engaged in
making films received only "a living
wage"
Mr.. Turner and John Emerson, an
Independent producer of Now York,
speaking for himself and for ID. w.
Griffith, urged a duty on Imported
films of from SO to go per cent ad
valorem in place of the 80 per cent
in the Fordney BILL They said the
industry was in bad shape with May
studios and large number Of the
$4,000 motion picture theaters over
the country closed.
Declaring that only high tariff
stood between the industry and ex-
termination, Mr.. Turner declared
that at this time fifty-four German
made pictures were being exhibited in
this country and that four or five of
these had yielded the exhibitors ST.
100000. American producers can
not compete with the Germans, he
said, adding that pictures which cost
from 5000 900 to 100000 to produce
in this country could be made in
Germany for from $4,000 to $12,-
900.
Saul F. Rogers of New York,
speaking for the National Association
of Motion Picture Industry opposed
the duty in the Fordney bill, urging
that the present rate of three cents a
foot be retained. He declared that
only few foreign films and those de-
picting great spectacles had been sue
cessful in this country. American
producers, he testified, export films
of many of their productions. He
feared that higher duty than that
now proposed would bring retaliatory
legislation and damage the industry
here.
An attack on the Eastman Kodak
Company featured the hearings. Mr..
Rogers, William A. de Ford, of New
York, counsel for the International
Film Service Company, Inc, Fred
erick r. Coudert, of New York, coun-
sci for Pathe Exchange. Inc, and 9th
er witnesses charged that this COM
pany, thru a monopoly, of the raw"
film product, would be able to con-
troll the motion picture industry II
imports were shut out. They conse-
queltly opposed the 20 per cent ad
valorem duty on raw" films pro-
posed in the Fordney bill,
Mr.. de Ford asked the committee to
investigate an agreement which he
said he believed the Eastman Com
pany had made with representatives
of the Film Laboratories. He charg-
ed. that, after the laboratories had
opposed the proposed duty On the i'm
ported films, the Eastman Company
bought several laboratories as a
"club" to keep the others in line.
Threatened with an invasion of their
field. the witness said the representa-
tives of the Laboratories entered in
to a written agreement among them
selves on last September 9 to use
only American-made films.

A PREACHER WHO Is
EQUAL TO THE JOB

From n reliable source we heard a
story of a recent occurrence in Logan
county, W. Va, that is quite interest
ing. At various mining camps an or
Ganized effort is being made to carry
on mission work Young ladies are
used largely in this work because
enough men can not be had. bdg
husky preacher has general supervis-
ion OF a number of these missions. Re-
Gently he received an urgent call from
one of the young ladies to come to her
mission. He found her in great dis
tress because a few exceedingly tough
young fellows We're trying to break up
her meetings. One of the several
methods they used was to sing Ca
sey Jones" when she announced a
hymn.
After learning the facts the preach
err thought the matter over carefully
and decided to see the outlaws and
talk il over. First he went to the 10
cal magistrate and put the case before
him. Not getting much encourage
ment he told the official of his inten-
ton to see the men. The magistrate
told him they lived in a hut some dis
lance up in the woods and that he
would endanger his life by going there
Seeing his determination te=go the
ma sistrate offered him a pistol the
preacher at first declined to take H.

the four fellows at their hut. They did
not know him, but he went in and talk

CHURCH NEWS and
OTHER MATTERS OF
RELIGIOUS NATURE
A CHALLENGE TO METHODIST
LOYALTY.
By Bishop U. v. W. Darlington.

For a day such as this the Church
must carry through an enterprise that
demands sacrificial service-one that
is challenge to the faith and to the
spirit of conservation of Methodist
people. We have this in the program
of the Christian Education Movement
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South.
AS is understood, il means far more
than the getting of S33,0e0.000 for our
schools. The financial objective is no
small item nor is 1t one of the inciden-
tai features of the Movement. Our
schools must have the money asked
for If they continue 10 live and serve.
They have wrought well during all the
wears gone, and in the achievements of
cur Methodism they have had large
share We did not give them all they
needed even in the days when 1t was
not demanded of them that they take
rank with the strong secular institu-
tons of learning in our country. They
must in this day have rating with the
other institutions of their territory:
and Methodist people. even in this
time of financial depression. are able
to give what Methodist schools need.
To fail to pledge the money asked
would be to our discredit and would
make uncertain our future educational
progress The present generation of
Methodists. in the providence of God,
have the opportunity and the high
obligation to serve the Methodism of
tomorrow,
In the giving of our money we shall
do something more than guarantee
the future service of Methodist schools
of today. We shall, at the same time.
bring our people to see more clearly
than they now see how vital to the
future prosperity of the Church and
the nation except we build them into
ideals cannot be realized in the life of
the nation ecept we build them into
the home and the school. In saving
ourselves we shall help to save the
nation. In the losing OF our lives in
this larger service we shall give to the
nation and the world, we shall find
that larger life to which our Lord calls
the Methodism of today.
The Christian Education Movement
brings us our best opportunity until
now. The faith OF the Church was
pledged to this enterprise, pledged at
a time when we saw no way out of the
difficulties that the Church and the
nation faced except in the leadership
of the Head of the Church. Shall we
turn from this best opportunity be-
cause we question whether He still
leads, or we doubt our inability to
follow His leadership? Only one way
is open to US, and that is forward with
our Lord. We cannot turn back; we
cannot fail to use what God has com
mitted to the present generation OF
Methodists In His name we shall
meet this issue and shall complete this
task,
