transpired on the submarine. He gave three reasons why the "prs- major responsibility rests properly on the s-4." These, he said. were that the s-4 lookout should have sighted the Pauldins; that it was the duty Of the sup marine to keep clear of the Paula ing and that 1t was her duty 10 avoid surface vessels.
 The court gave it's opinion that the cause of the failure of the E." te take proper action when the de- stroyer was 75 yards distant can not be determined absolutely.
 "The cause lies with the com- manding officer of the s-4," the re- port said, due either to his lack of vigilance, or to the quality of his observations while the Paulding was approaching from e,ooo to 7s wards, from which observations flowed an action which by an error of judgment. possibly as to the speed and distance of the Pauldlne. failed to insure the safety of the vessel
 "The inefficient lookout on the Paulding whereby the S-4 was not sighted until only f5 yards away, was due to the lack of a proper lookout solely charged with that duty. especially at time when the Paulding was approaching at high rate of speed the submarine trial course.''
 se Bodies Recovered
 Thirty-two bodies have been re- covered from the S-l. Six more are believed to be in the torpedo room and two are missing. The vessel itself Is expected to be raised dur ing the coming month.
 Medical data attached to the court findings indicated that the 5:
 men found in the engine and motor rooms lost consciousness before I1:so D. m. of the day following tht collision and that they probabl,
 died by asphyxiation from carbor
 monoxide.
 The court, apparently cognizan

 fWashinSton Bureau of the N. B. Herald Washington. D. C.. Feb. ?: - A letter from Gardiner T. Robinson of Stamford. Conn.,. endorsing the at tacks he delivered in the senate on the Roman Catholic church was chosen by Senator J. Thomas Hehln of Alabama for presentation to the senate as representing support of his position by the people of Connecti- cut.
 Senator Heflin created quite fur ors in the senate several times last month by violent attacks on the Roman Catholic church which he charged with using its influence to embroil the United States in war with Mexico. Hefiin has let up in
 his attacks since he was taken 10 task by Senator Joseph Robinson or Arkansas, democratic floor leader. in a reply he delivered in the senate to one of the Alabamian's speeches. The senate democrats on the follow- ing day unanimously supported Rob- inson, with the single exception or Senator Trammell of Florida.
 Senator Hef1in presented to the senate yesterday 49 letters, one from each state in the Union and one from the District of Columbia, which he said he had selected from thousands he had received endorsing his posi-
 ton.
 The letter from Connecticut reads
 as follows:
 "so Myrtle Ave, Stamford, Conn.
 January 26. 1928. Hon. J. Thomas Hefin, U, S. Senate. Washington. D. (. Dear Mir Heflin: I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate you
 for the great, unflinching, manly l courage which you have at all times
 displayed as a senator, but eSpeciai- lluy that which you have shown in
 the last few days in spite of the
 many threats and ridicule which | i, know you have received from the < enemies of all Protestant Americans. the Roman Catholic hierarchy and
 the Roman controlled scurrilous f press.
 Brother. I feel that you are fight ing this great fight for liberty for all
 of us, and may the protesting Pro- testants of America uphold your
 arms as did Aaron and Hur hold the :. hands of Moses in the wilderness. | This remember, Mir. Hef1in, that one
 shall chase a thousand and two shall II put ten thousand to flight. "My prayer is that God of out fathers shall strengthen you in thli
 great hour of need and send forth g more manly men like you who art c willing at all times 10 tell the truth n The lip of truth shall be established s forever, but lying tongue Is but fo' . q moment I am,
 n Yours truly for Protestant America 1t "{Signed)

was for effect
 Two trifling incidents. it might be said, scarcely worthy of com- ment in he passing. And yet 1t IS the little things, as a rule, that go to make up life. Coming events, We are told, cast tl1eir shadows be- fore, and those of the smaller often loom more portentious than the large.
 In the weird twistings and turn- ings and the seemingly hopeless sit nations from which the characters in this drama of human events finally emerge, one is ever recalling the words of these two women. It is worth comment, at least, the odd, intritiye dislike each instantly conceived for the other at first, in view of what transpired later. Both seemed then to realize that they were destined to be important factors in the lives of each other. What form their interests would take might, had they been able to look ahead, have greatly surprised 1 them.

!. London, Feb. cc R)--A Bombay dispatch to the Daily Mail today dis closes | sequel to a match such as that contemplated by Tukoji Rao. former maharajah of 1ndore. and Miss Nancy Ann Miller, of Seattle. Wash.
 slta Devi, wife of the maharajah of Tikari, is suing him before the high court of Patna for the payment of an annuity. Sita Devi was Miss Elsie Caroline Thompson, an Aus tralian actress. She was converted 10 Hinduism and married the mahara- jah in 1909. The maharajah in 1913 deeded her an annuity of 1925 (3l,l25) monthly but later stopped payment of 1t.
 The maharajah admits executing the deed but pleads that according to Hindu law the plaintiff could not become a Hindu and consequently no lawful marriage was possible.
