 Leon Zane of 21 Main street Hart ford, whose case was continued from last week was arraigned in town court last night before Justice of the Peace E. Stanley Wells on he charge of driving d motor Fe- hicle while under the influence of liquor Zane was arrested on the night of March by State Police man Henry Zeihrer on the Berlin turnpike after the police had re- Ceived a complaint that a car was being driven by someone who ap peared to be in an unfit condition. Officer Zehrer did not see Zane driving. but met Officer Elehers on the pike and told him to be on the lookout for such a driver.
 Elehers saw Zanes car in q ditch about opposite the Maple Leaf fill ing station, went up to him and saw that he was very sick from his liquor." Elchcrs admitted on be- ing cross examined by Attorney Corners of Hartford, who represent ed Zane. that he did not sec Zane drive his car. neither did he notice whether the keys were in the switch box.
 Nor did he feel of the engine to See if it had been running recently. he said. When Officer Zehrer came to the car Zane asked the officer if he could not give him a break the officer then asked Zane if he was driving the car and Zane replied "yes," it was said.
 He then took Zane to the State Police barracks for examination and later went to Zane's room where he found Zanc's roommate and a gallon jug of liquor 3-4 full Of alleged cider brandy. |, Several witnesses were present and claimed that Zane was intoN- icatcd, but no one would admit that they had seen Zane drive. :, One witness testified that he was coming from Meriden at 11:45 o'clock and was attracted by head lights waving across the road. but when he got there Zane was slouch- ) ed in his seat and over the driving wheel Zane had feminine compan- ion in the car with him the witness testified.
 Judge Wclles stated that he must decide the case upon the evidence submitted and he could not find any one who saw Zane driving his car.
 The fact that the car was ditch ed and Zane at the driving wheel did not prove that Zane had been drivingg He therefore nolled the the case upon payment of costs, which amounted to s17.71.

1ST BAPTIST CHURCH
NOW 128 YEARS OLD
Anniversary to Be Observed
Tomorrow With DR.. Porter
in Pulpit.

The 12sth anniversary of the found
ing of First Baptist Church will be
observed tomorrow morning. DR.. Samuel
Judson Porter. the pastor, will preach
on IF the vision larry" In the eve
ming his subject will be Healing
Streams"
The first stated meeting of Baptists
in Washington was when Rev. Mr.,
Richards of the Baptist Church in
Baltimore preached in July, 1901, in
the Treasury Office. The first church
was organized as result of that meet
ing on March Z, 1902, in private
house. The first members were Charles
Peale Polk, Cephas Fox, Charles
Rogers, John Burchan and Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Borrows RevS. Lewis Rich
ards of Baltimore, Adam Freeman, Will
liam Parkinson. chaplain of the House
of Representatives. and jeremiah Moore
of Alexandria, Va, assisted in the
organization Of the church. Rev. Mr..
Moore preached the first sermon.
Pastor for 4S Years,
Plans were made for the erection of a
church building at a meeting March
Il. 1902. In the Autumn of that year
a brick building on a lot 70 by 81 feet
was purchased for $225 at the southeast
corner Of Nineteenth and streets. Rev.
william Parkinson preached the dedi-
catory sermon and continued to supply
the church, without salary, until 1904.
From 1904 to May 81, 1907, the church
was dependent upon temporary supplies
of visiting clergymen to fill the pulpit:
During 1907 Rev. Obadiah B. Brown Of
Newark, N. j., became the first regular
pastor of the church. He remained 43
years.
Elder Luther Rice, the most noted
Baptist of that time. helped to eStab-
lish a Sunday school at First Baptist
Church in 1919, and it was for some
years conducted as a union school, the
teachers being of different denomina-
tions. The colored children were adj
mitted to separate part of the room
(under the gallery.
In 1888 the building was taken over
By colored Baptists. The church then
moved to another brick building on
Tenth street between E and streets,
later to become well known in history
as Ford's Theater, where President
Lincoln was shot, by John wilkes Booth.
The building was first used on June rs,
1884.
Two Churches Unite.
A union of the First and Fourth
Churches was effected in 1859, and the
latter's new edifice on the east side of
Thirteenth street between G and H
streets became the church home. Rev.
Isaac Cole, pastor of the Fourth Church,
became co-pastor with Rev. DR.. Hill.
In 1862 the building was struck by
a tornado which demolished the Steeple,
the weight of which, with that of the
massive bell, crushed the roof and side
walls. Almost as soon as the building
was repaired it was taken over by the
Government as o hospital for soldiers,
as the Civil War was then in progress.
The corner stone of the present build
ing at Sixteenth and o streets was laid
In 1883, and in 1890 was dedicated by
DIR. c. A. Stakely.
The pastors who have served the
church are Rev. Obadiah B. Brown,
1e07-l850; Rev. DR.. Stephen p. Hill,

WHY is the proportion
of Washington brides which insists on
Sterling silver mounting steadily every
year?
Is it because the newer generation has
more educated taste, greater respect for
the genuine . or, are they acting upon
the advice of mothers who wish they had
bought Sterling when they married?
Is it because these young women have
wiser sense oi economy because they
know Sterling will last them for lifetime,
and grow more beautiful as the years pass?
Is it because they've found out that
Sterling is really not expensive, after all?
And why do they choose their patterns
so carefully? Why do they make sure that
serving pieces and flat silver match. that
hollowware harmonizes?
Is it because they've been ashamed of
the hodge-podge of unmatched silverware
in their childhood homes?
Or, is it because decorators have taught
them how to make their tables beautiful
and correct with matching Sterling table
silver and hollowware harmonizing with it,
as we'll as with the decorative scheme of
their homes?
And, is it because only recently has
Sterling silver been so easy to buy ever
since the members of the Sterling Silver
smiths Guild instituted the Guild Purchase
Plan of pin-money payments?
