TWO FRATERNITIES AT WESLEYAN BARRED
Corpse and Coffint and S;Sna Thu Honorary Junior Societies Ac-
 cused of Breeding Trouble.

Middletown, June 19.-By a decree
 of the faculty announced today tho Corpse and Coffin and the Sigma Tau
 honorary junior societies have been abolished.
 The Corpse and Coffin society was established in 1872 just half century ago. Sig1na Tau was opened here in 1895, It has k'een the custom to take out 12 men each year for each body. In recent years, it is explained as throwing light on the abolition of these two societies, that some of the societies had ceased to make contribu- tions to the development of satSs- factory spirit and morale at Wesleyan. They also had been charged with fail- ure 10 elect representative students and were responsible for friction be- tween fraternities and the college body. It is further stated that the action of the faculty will have no bearing upon the senior societies of Skull and Serpent and Mystical Seven.
 The trustees announced that they had reelected Leroy Albert Rowland, Fiske professor of mathematics. as vice president but had taken no action on the selection Of an acting president during President Shanklin's absence.

The original charge was highway rob- bery with intent to kill,
 Judge William Nj. Msltbie pro- nounced sentences. He said before doing so in part:
 Played For Big Stakes.
 There is need of increased sever ity in crimes in which autom obles figure. They are so increasing that now is the time for the severity of the penalty to be raised according ly. This was a premediated crime and was not the outcome of an Acci- dent, no matter what counsel may say. The men played for high stakes and they shouldn't complain If they get the limit I shall not commit Kiviat to the reformatory for that wouldn't amount to anything He could apply for pardon in a year and it would have a bad effect on gunmen in New York. This was big crime and one death resulted. It is necessary to i'm pose a substantial sentence. Nine to ten years each in states prison.'
 The sentencing followed a confer ence between States Attorney Cum mngs and counsel for the prisoners at which the charge was changed and the plea altered. The court trial was l special session.
 States Attorney Cummings referred to the physical condition of kiviat, by reading letter from Dr. John H. jail physician who ex- amned the man yesterday and re- ported that it was Ian arrested case of tuberculosis"
 Becker and Kraut were represented by attorneys. The courtroom was crowded. The proceedings were short. A jury was in waiting but it's service was not necessary because of the plea of guilty made by the men.
 Becker's mother was in the court room as were tlso his brothers, sisters and father of the other prisoners.

 However, When Naval Bill Is Passed.

Washington, June 19.-senate re. 30 to g against laying aside the tariff bill to consider the soldiers bonus.
 A resolution favorin@ final dispo- sition of both the tariff bill and the bonus measure at this session and be- 7 fore any recess then was adopted 27 10 Il. The bonus measure would. be made the unfinished business after a final vote on the tariff
 Senator Walsh, democrat, Mass achusetts after learning of the action of the republican conference said a move to bring up the bonus would be made in the senate after the pas sage of the pending naval appropria- tion bill.
 McCumber's Attempt Fails.
 Chairman McCumber of the finance committee who has charge of both pieces of legislature made a final ef- fort to put the bonus ahead, but his motion mustered only nine votes.
 He also was author of the resolu- tion proposing final disposition of tariff with the bonus then to be made the unfinished business of the senate. This resolution was opposed By Il republicans counted as opponents of the adjusted compensation measure.
 A number of republican senators in- cluding Johnson of California and La Toilette of Wisconsin who favor speedy action on the bonus absented themselves from the conference A number of democratic senators also desire early disposition of the bonus and it may be that a move will be made on the floor to override the program of the republicans, which has the approval of President Hard ing.

CHILDREN GIVING TO
 FRESH AIR FUND NOV West End Circus" and "Sing Song Society"
 Donate Their Bits
Total Today ....... s1s4.71

Two children's organizations today
 made their contributions to the Fresi Air fund which will be used in send ing youngsters not so fortunate as tc
 Abe assured of a vacation and in such
 physical condition that they need one
 to the Fresh Air Camp in Burlington for two weeks of outdoor exercise
 and wholesome food. The West End
 circus receipts were, we imagine, in
 the neighborhooh of s4.46, which
 amount we received and the Sing
 Song society, an organization of Vine
 and Lincoln street youngsters gave a
 recital which netted $500 for the
 fund. The interest being displayed by
 the children of the city in their fel-
 lows Is a charming display of the gen. eral realization of the good that the
 Fresh Air Camp is doing and shows an admirable spirit in the coming generation.
 The fund today is reaching very respectable total, although of course much more is needed. Several large contributions direct to the committee will probably swell the whole amount The Herald. however, believing that everyone wishes to help in the work of the Fresh Air Camp is undertaking to solicit small and large contributions. One is as vel come as the other, twenty-five cents from some sources means as much as dollars from others as it indicates public support and approval. Hot days are coming, fatiguing tagging days for the children, particularly those whose bodies are not too well to withstand strain, hard trials are coming for those who can- not procure creature comforts neces- sary to well being. There are many such children here-too many-but the Fresh Air camp offers an oppor- unity to many of them to build up heir constitutions and to enjoy the 'resh life of the country-fresh food, 'resh air and fresh water to drink md bathe in-<for at least two weeks. Children not actually sick, but in 1eed of a rebuilding are selected for he camp.
 Your dollar will go as far or fur her in taking care of prevention of sickness through the Fresh Air fund han in any other way-and will give great pleasure besides. If you wish o contribute the Fresh AG fund at The Herald will be glad to acknowl- dge the amount.

CHURCHES REQUEST
 THAT HARDING ACT Want Administration to Bring
 About End of Coal Strike ALL CREEDS REPRESENTED
Protestants, Catholics and Jews Unite in Appeal to Chief Executive to Do Something to Bring About Order Again.

l Washington, June 19.-President Harding was asked today to take steps to end the coal strike in a joint ap- peal presented to him by the commis, sion on the Church and Social service of the Federal Council of Churches, with which are affiliated 30 great Protestant communions, the depart ment of. social action of the National Catholic Welfare council and the social justice commission of the Gen. tral Conference of American Rabbis. This Is the first time, as far ~as is known. that these representative or ganizations of Protestants, Roman Catholics and Jews have taken joint action in an industrial matter. The church in their appeal asked the president
 To call a national coal conference. To get the facts of the coal industry through government investigation.
 Not to wait until the suffering wom- en and children of the mining camps has become national calamity and
 To end the coal strike now.
 Appeal in Full.
 Hc SLdlCIHCHI CAPl OSsCD 6I dLIllSd- ton that the press, as a whole, has been successful in recording the facts in the strike. The appeal of the churches in full is as follows: ITO the President of the
 United States:
 We desire to express to you. on behalf of the three great religious or ganizations that we represent, our conviction that the time has arrived when our government should act tc bring about a conference in the bitu- minous coal industry to end the pres- ent strike. We believe that the ma- iority of the people of this country are unwilling to have it's vitally im- portant industries subject to econ- omic combat as means of settling disputes.

I ALONE AM BOSS,'
 PA0NESSA DECLARES
Executive Will Ignore "Si. lent Seven" and Insur-
 gents Both, He Says

Calmly puffing at his cigar, Mayor A. M. Paonessa sat in his office in
 city hall this afternoon and laughed
 heartily as he discussed the alleged ;dissension in democratic ranks, news of which was broadcasted over the city Saturday following an anti-ad-
 ministration meeting Friday night. ! The claims of certain members of the democratic town committee that
 they were being sidetracked by the present chairman of the committee
 Lawyer David L. Dunn-who feared
 that he would be displaced to the
 embarassme of the administration, | should he call meeting, together
 with charges that the administrations policies were dictated by silent
 seven" appeared to give the mayor | little concern.
 Mayor Paonessas comment was:-
 I'm the boss"
 Either as mayor of this city or in private business I have to look to no one for the safety of my job. I'll consult no silent seven or seven in- surgents' as a group, although I may ask individuals advice from time to time during the next two years. At that time one seven or another may
 replace me, but until that time I alone am boss
 Changes in the organization of the committee are believed certain to take place as soon as Chairman Dunn calls the members together. John J. kiniry, one of the most active cam paigners for Mayor Paonessa, but now said to be divorced from mem- bership in the silent seven," is re- ported to be slated for the chairman ship. Philip Smith, disappointed candidate for chairman of the police board, has also friends who like to place him at the head of the com ! mittee. The insurgents have seven votes pledged against the present or ganization, they assert.
 Unless Chairman Dunn calls meet ! ing very shortly the insurgent mem- bers threaten to get together and | proceed to organize, electing either Mir. Kiniry or MT. Smith as head of | the committee.
 The grievances of the insurgents are said to be:
 Too much dictation by the silent seven'; refusal of. the administration to consult the town committee on . matters of importance; too much family affairs in city business; dis with the displacement of Hjerpe of the fire board by Chairman keevers; Chairman Dunn's refusal to call the committee together so that it's preference for a chairman might be expressed.

Mrs. Lillian Northrop, Who Kept Apartments on Main Street, Found Beaten to Death
Nothing Stolen-The Police Have no Definite Clue, But Are Questioning the Boarders Who Discovered Body.

Bridgeport, June 1s.-Mrs. Lillian | 143S Main street, was mysteriously
 murdered during last night and up till noon the police had found no clue to the assalant The woman was found dead on a bed in her room by two men who lived in her apartment, one, Charles Neddo. being . tenant of an apartment upstairs, and the other. George Coftis, being one of the boarders, he said, in Mrs. Northrop's own rooms
 Medical Examiner s. M. Garlick, who viewed Mrs Northrop's body, said she had died from blow in the face. The body was in a pool of blood on the woman's own bed. It was in . house dress without stockings. Tho face had been injured by blow which also had broken the nose and the hemorrhage had been profuse. Both eyes had been blackened.
 The mystery about the case was that nothing in the apartment ap- peared to have been disturbed.
 Nor was there bloodstain except on the bed, Mrs. Northrop had been putting away clothing, or taking it out of bureau, for there was a pile of garments in front of the bureau and the drawers were open but there had been no disturbing of the con- tents by the murderer. There was no sign of a struggle around the room. What weapon was used was not indicated.
 Both doors of Mrs. Northrop's apartments were found closed when George Coftis and Neddo returned to the building from their club" at 6 a. m. They say that they got into Mrs, Northrop's apartment by way of the back entrance. The police are inquiring why the men sought en- trance.
 Story of Boarders.
 The men say they found Mrs. Northrop on her bed and immediately notified the police. Sergeant John Burns and Sergeant John McGovern at once took steps to question every body in the building.
 Louis De Besta said he heard loud talk down stairs during the night and Mrs. Northrop's voice, saying, get out of my apartments" De Besta said he did not pay much attention to the talk as Mrs. Northrop was accustomed to having gay parties in her apartments. Jimmie Maheran, a roomer in the Neddo apartment, said he heard screams but paid little attention to them as he heard muth noise on other occasions.
