The meeting of the new city coun- ell last night at the council chamber was one of the most interesting held in this city for long time and was marked with many arguments, the greater number concerning the ad- vent Of the automatic traffic signal control at the Memorial monument, where the boulevard intorsects Mel lon street. Thomas A. Tracy, sitting Tn at his first session of the board, was bitterly opposed 10 the proposal that Bristol rent the system from the signal concern at a fee of $22 per week, saying that be thought the city should own the signals. He fur ther stated that the system operating at the west side and at the Main street junction with the Memorial boulevard and School street has proved entirely satisfactory. Mir. Tracy and Councilman Frank w. button voted against the three month trial of the plan but were out numbered by the other four mem hers. The system. it was decided. will be placed on trial at the intersection for 90 days and. if satisfactory. a contract for three years will be given to the signal firm.
 Mayor W. Raymond Crumb. by virtue of the action of the council, has been authorized to draw un the necessary contract for the mstalla- ton Of the system at the intersection Whether or not the plan will go through after the trial is yet to be seen.

 Charged with criminal negligence, John kolodzy of 9 Pennington av- enuc, New Britain. was bound over to the March term of the superior court as the result of an automobile accident at Upson's corner, on Sep tember l. which Harry ,Semon of III Rhodes street, New Britain, was fatally injured. He was under bond of $l,000 for his appearance in Hartford.
 Disclaiming any knowledge of the accident, two of the passengers in the car at the time of the acci- dent Edward Corbctt of Berlin and Edward Birmingham of New Brit ain, protested that they had fell asleep and could not tell whether Nobody or Semon was the driver Of the car.
 Constable Frank Brown Of Berlin was called to the scene of the acci- dent between midnight and 1 a. m pon his arrival he found car badly damaged as the result of head on crash into a tree. Two of the occupants of the car were lying on the ground. Upon Investigating. Constable Brown found that Cor bctt were drunk, he testified and upon questioning them the former denied that he was the driver and declared that he knew nothing 4hnlIt if Irhi1o lot T the fact that he was the driver. Brown arrested Corbett, charging him with being the driver of the death car. Upon information re- ceived later in the week, Constable Brown released Corbett and arrest ed kolodzy and held him pend ing a coroner's inquest.
 Corbett. on the stand testified that on the evening of August 3 he had left his car in Finnegan's alley, New Britain, being too drunk too drive and had gone away to get more drink. He returned later and went to sleep in the car, walk ing up the time of the smash in kensington. Birmingham. the fourth occupant of the car. also testified that he was drunk and had gone to sleep in the rear seat of the car He claimed that before he fallen asleep kolodzy was at the wheel but did not no whether he was driving at the time of the accident. He further stated that Corbett was in the rear seat at the time of the accident. "I do not know how he got there for he started out in the front seat with kolodzy and Semon, but at the time of the accident he was in the back seat" he said.
 The most damaging bit of evid- ence was brought out when Officer Brown testified that Kolodzy had told him that the inSides of both his arms were skinned and that his chest was bruised" the officer being of the opinion that this was done by the steering wheel Andrew Lash and Walter klorowitz of Hart ford testified that they helped pull the two injured men from the wreckage.

Feature State Societies.
The work of the State societies was
featured in the morning program,
which started at 815 o'clock. John
D. S. Zimmerman, State secretary
of Kansas; John c. ALDER, Nebraska
State secretary, and Rev. Claude j,
Miller, Hutchinson, Kans., pastor, de-
livered addresses.
Mr.. Zimmerman described the mis-
sion field of the church as a world
commission, and asserted I'VE have no
right to restrict the commission" The
logical order in church work today, he
said, is the local congregations. State
missions and world conquest. Address
ing himself to the subject. THE Center
of the State Commission" Zimmerman
said that State missions occupied a
prominent position and should be en-
.phasized.
Mr.. Alder, In an address on the SUBJ
ject of State missions, told the conven-
ton that in % States last year a staff
of 273 men and women spent total of
$4,000 days serving churches in the
field under the auspices of the State
societies. This staff, he said, Travelled
more than 100000 miles and preached
more than $4,000 sermons and carried
on their work on revenues Of less than
$3.50, 900.
U. S. Fertile Field.
Again emphasizing the prominent
place which the State societies hold ir
the brotherhood, the speaker asserted
that the United States Is still the most
fertile field for missionary work, with
two-thirds of its population not ANIL
lated with any church.
Missionary work was again touched
upon by Mr.. Miller, who recently In
terested himself in the work Of the
church pension fund. He declared thai
If "the church membership had followed
the system of tithing generally in the
last year, the brotherhood would be
better of financially by $4,000, 900,
enough to have financed the new Ma
tional City Church in the Capital and
virtually all active accounts Of the
brotherhood.
eff we are to continue successfully, :
he said, Eve must return to the divine
order and remember always that we
are not giving until we have tithed.
Fund Plans Discussed.
H. r. Ford was chaplain of the meet
ing this morning, and David Owens
directed the convention in the singing
of songs. Mr.. Ford read the scripture
lesson from the seventh and eighth
chapters of Acts, section which EN-.
phasizes the preaching Of the gospe
throughout the world.
Following the addresses on straight
missions the convention embarked upor
a special program designed to call at
tention to the brotherhood's campaign
to establish a fund of million dollars

Sermon Delivered.
He said in part as follows: "This
pulpit is dedicated to the proclamation
of a Hberating gospel, q gospel that Is
of bondage-political theological So
cial, personal; gospel that includes
the idea of redemption and the min
iStry of rescue that recognizes the
presence of sin in the world and shows
the way out. It Is committed to that
passion for souls and concern for the
salvation of others that has been the
motive power in missions.
This pulpit with its emancipation
proclamation should produce among
those who listen the spirit Of the last
words of Capt. Oracle, survivor Of the

night, seemed to see the struggling

years ago from the prophecy Of Isaiah,
