Prosecuting Attorney William F. Tammany did not agree with Mr. Ounce this morning, expressing the opinion that this being a simple case. the strike should not. be considered as having anything to do with It The case came up this morning at 9:30, but at the request of Attorney Cuneo. who had only just been engag- ed to defend Jondreau, a continuance to next Tuesday afternoon was agreed upon. The complainants are Edwin Weldner and George A. Townsend. Two lawyers were present In behalf of the complainants from the C. & K. Company, and included Henry Stod- dard, of Stoddard, Bishop & Stoddard. of Bridgeport, and C. K. Seward, of New York. The lawyois and complainants went to court in the automobile which the company has been employing for a number of days. The court room was crowded. After adjournment, many walled to see the complainant party leave. As they came out of the court room, someone called out “llold your nose.‘ This evidently displeased Al» torney Seward. who made a. quick turn around to discover who had made the remark.

Its Winning Finds Conduits. In Hat Trade the mo. From yesterday‘s Danbury News: Today begins the seventh week of the tie-up in the hat trade and so for as Dsnbury is concerned. at least. cou- dltlons remain practically the same as they have done since the trouble began and there seems to be little or nothing in immediate prospect. There was a conference yesterday of members of the citizens' committee which has interested Itself In the effort to bring about a. meeting of tho oppoe lug forces. Some suggestions that had been made to members of the commit tee were considered but it was stated today that nothing definite had devel- oped in regard to any course of action that it might be possible to take to ward renewed effort to bring about peace. News comes from Bethe] today that another new but factory is to be estab llshed there. It Is to be located in what was formerly the Grassy Plain school house, but since the erection of s new school. building. has been used for manufacturing purposes. A company of which some Dnnbury and Bethe] hat tors are to be members is being formed but when inquiry was made at the fac- tory this morning It was said that the plans had not advanced sufficiently a: yet to make the personnel of the con- cern ready for announcement.

James P. Maher. national treasurer of the United Hatters of North Ameri- ca, arrived in town last evening and it a representatIVe of The Now who asked him today for a. statement in relation to the prosent‘sltuation, he said: “We are pleased with the loyalty of our members all over the country to their union. i believe that the condi- tions are very encouraging to the cause. While there'are rumors of fac- tories starting up and getting large numbers of men. the rumors are erron- eous. The Mundheim factory In Brook lyn, to which i have paid particular at tentlon. has six or seven finishers from Yonkers and no slzers. Up to date we have lost possibly two dozen of our members. and think that is all the weakening we hays had and all we will have. We believe that it.

Mr. Mailer said that he came up from New York for the purpose of look lug over M. T Cuff's plant and see what progress he was making and else to look over the other new factories He said also that he understood that there were to be several other new and large factories started In Dan ry and Bethel in the near future and tgat athe was looking over conditions In general.

DARWINISM. (The Outlook.) . Darwinism has revolutionized not uIeIely biology, but all the sciences. in‘ eluding theology, which is the science of religion. Traditionalism is not dead, but It is decadent; it no longer dom- luatES the thought of the church. The new conception of life which he gave to the world has entered the Protes- tant churches, where it is own as the New Theology, and the Roman Catholic church, where it Is known as Modernism. The Holy Calhoiic church Is no longer a body of quslllbly en- dowed teachers, whether Pepsi or Protestant; It is the whole body of those who are spiritually developed and spiritually aspiring. The Bible is not an infallible book about religion, written by theamsnueuses of the Al- mighty; it is the historical record or the spiritual experiences of the spirit- ual leaders of a splritlially endowed people. Redemption Is not the recov- ery of a lost state of innocence; it is the development of a spiritual order of creation emerging from an animal condition and being educated toward a splendor of divine character and life as yet inconceivable by us. The fall is not a historical episode occurring in a remote past; it is the individual ex- perience of every man when, by con- scious disobedience of the laws Of his own developed nature, he descends In- to or toward the animal nature from which he has partially emerged. The occasionally glimpses of a higher Being may be seen, thanks to his ocv 'casional interferences; it is the per- petual and continuous expression of his Presence, so that the natural is always supernatural and the super- natural nlwsys most natural. And his. tory is not the despairing struggle of a "remnant" against the ignorance. superstition and malignancy of a fall- en race of 'men on their way to become devils; it the evolution of a race in the making, toward a soul predeter- mined for them by their Maker and their Friend For this helpful and Inspiring con- ception of life the world is indebted to of; one men more than to Charles Dar- n.
