an offshoot from;
Massachusetts, for in 1886 there was
dissatisfaction over the form of gov
eminent among the Puritans in Cam
bridge, WatertOwn and Dorchester,
the three towns surrounding Boston.
A large part of these three towns,
therefore, 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
English of fort at Saybrook at the
mouth of the river. The Cambridge
people, under the leadership of their
pastor, Hooker, founded Hartford, the
Dorchester people settled Windsor,
and those from WatertOwn established
Wethersfield. For a few years they re-
manned a part of Massachusetts, bat
early in 1859 the people of these three
towns met and drew up written con-
stitution and agreed to govern them
selves. Meanwhile, In 1888 a large
company of cOlOnists under the leader
ship of John Davenport 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 It's principal river.
This is an Algonquin Indian name
meaning "long river" 1t became the
fifth state to join the Union when 1t
adopted the Constitution on January

Land Of Steady Habits, but is more
popularity known as the Nutmeg state
from the humorous accusation that
its peddlers were accustomed to pain
off wooden nutmegs to their GUS
toners. The area of Connecticut Is
1865 square miles, the.t smallest
Of our states. Its population, however,
entities it to seven electoral votes for

/ Senator Borah (Idaho) in n speech in
the Senate to-day in support of the bill
to appropriate $4,000, 600 for Russian
relief. condemned in forcible language
the Allies and declared that IL he had
HIS way n would recognize the de facto
| Government of Russia.
The Senator predicted that whatever
government is finally established in
Russia will be one developed step by
step from the Bolshevist Government.
He he'd that recognition or the present
Soviet Government would tend to sta
lilize conditions in Russia and keep the
people there from starving
Continuing, the idaho Senator said he
would vote for the bill providing relief
for Russia not because he believed it
was constitutional nor because of any
belief that it would be an economic
benefit but simply because l have not
the heart TO oppose it," Then he
added:
~ vote for il purely as an act or char
ity. l do not believe it would help the
farmers in this country ] vote for il
for the reason that | would give food to
a hungry man at nay door in a starving
condition.
II vote for it but protest here and now
gainst the treatment the Russian Gov
ernment and the Russian people are re-
cciving at the hands OF the Government
of the United states
Then he told Of the vast losses OF the
Russians in the war against the Ger
mans and the Powers allied with Ger
many. He said that in some respects
the fighting OF the Russians against the
German. Austrian and Turkish armies
had no parallel in the war when all the
circumstances and difficulties were con-
sidered
The Russian relief measure, which
was brought up by Senator Snoot. led
TO long debate The bill was adopted
without q record vote, after two amend
ments proposed by Senator Ashurst
(Ariz) had been approved One of the
amendments provided for an appropria-
ton OF 100000 to be used by the Sec
retary of Labor in trying to relieve un-
employment and 100000 for further
disqualification of soldiers.
Senator Wadsworth (N. " denied
that the measure would prove to be OF
any economic value to this country and
warned the Senate Of the danger OF the
Government acting as a welfare agency.
He quoted from Herbert Hoover's re-
port on conditions in Russia to show
that the wells OF private charity have
gone dry and now such appeals are
being made TO the Government" He
warned of the danger OF establishing
such a precedent as the bill would estab-
lish.
The Senator expressed the view that
part of the money could be used to
great advantage in furthering the edu-
cation OF Russians who since the revolu-
ton have been deprived OF any opportu-
mites for higher education.

the stand that Secretary Mellon is try

the suggestion as an attempt to hitch
the liquor question to the bonus bill.
Representative Murphy (Ohio) char
acterized the suggestion as an insult.
II am opposed to it, he declared, with
some heat, "and / resent it, 1t is an
insult to the intelligence of the Ameri-

many renewals Of it since. He has been
known as plain Robert Tourbillion, and

Tramp Steamer Seized.
What was perhaps the clevarest ruse
for putting great amount of liquor
into circulation in New York city was
uncovered by customs inspectors who
raided the tramp steamer Javary, out
of Baltimore to Constaatinople. yester-
day, and arrested the captain. Danial
Docherty. who is also the owner OF
record and makes his home aboard the
ship. The Javary, according to the Gus
toms men, tried to unload q 500 gallons
of 1870 proof alcohol in this port
Alcohol Of this strength could be re-
duced four times, giving more than
100000 gallons strong enough to sell
as whisky. with the addition of colorng
matter and hsvoring. That's 1000
quarts. and it's a cheap excuse for
whisky that doesn't bring $40 quart
to-day.
The Javary left Baltimore about q
week ago, carrying ESQ drums Of 10
gallons capacity each. They were listed
In the manifest as containing glycerin,
and the cargo was destined for Con
stantinople. The ship put into New
York Saturday ostensibly to take on
other cargo and a supply of fuel oil.

The customs officials became suspi-
