Many local people who have at- terded the schools in this town will . uwbe shocked to learn-of the death of S Bdwin Peck of Beckley yester- day ‘at the home of her father-in-law, H. F. Peck, of Bethany, Conn. Be- lore ‘marriage, she was Miss Mary rmina Dohrenwendt, teacher, at one ‘time, in the Christian Lane school and Jlater in the West Rocky Hill ¢ schopl, and was very popular with ‘her pupils. Mrs, Peck was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dohrenwendt of Beckley Quarter and leaves, besides her husband and two children, Harold iLéster, aged four years, and Leona oise, aged four months; her parents, -.and two brothers, Frank Dohrenwendt of New Britain and Charles Dohren- wendt of Hartford. ¥ . The funeral will be held at 3 9'clock Sunday afternoon from the ‘Heme of -Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Peck in Béthany. An Interesting fact in con- nection with the services is that they will be' conducted by Professor E. E. Nourse of Berlin, who performed the . marriage ceremony almost six years ¥ ago. When the deceased woman be- + ithe bride of Mr. Peck. Burlal ' willbe in Bethany. ts, Peck was born in Middletown . foMy-one years ago. Soon.after that time her parents moved to Beckley . Quarter .and she resided there all her ife.

The death of Mrs. Peck came very unexpectedly.

Simple, but impressive funeral ser- vices were held over the body of Miss Catherine Melinda North this after- noon at the Second Congregational church in Berlin, Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, the pastor, officiating. As the procession of mourners filed into the church the organist, Mrs. H. H. Dameon, played Shubert’s “Death and the Maiden.” When the body was borne out she played Handel's “Largo.” The pall bearers were four deacons of -the church, Francis| Deming, Arthur = Woodruff, —Ernest Mildrum and Allen North, Major Frank L. Wilcox and A. B. Good- rich. . i i Interment was in Maple cemetery, near the spot ‘where the deceasqd woman'’s father, Deacon Alfred North, was lajd at rest about twenty years ago. ? Today’s funeral recalled to many of the older residents, the funeral ob- sequies held 'in the Berlin Congrega- tional church in January, 1894, upon the dgath of Deacon Alfred North. One beautiful incident #n' connection with those services was the placing of flowers on the éasket by young children of the Sabbath school, of which the deacon had been super- intendent for twenty years. 5 Birthday Party. Eugene, the son of Mr..and Mrs. Charles Sharpe of Kensington enter- tained a dozen of his little rriends’ at a party held this afternoon In honor of his fifth birthday.

Y., where he is to rep- resent the Christian Endeavor society of his church at the missionary edu- cation conference. .

CHAIRMAN Will Not Serve as Head of Cam- paign Workers This Fall UNCLE SAM G.YES HELP MORE PAY Postmaster and Local Secretary Get Increases—Raise Also Expected for Assistant Postmaster—Ship P. O. Equipment Next Tuesday—Briefs. While it is early to begin prepara- tions for the fall campaign, republi- can leaders are anticipating the resig- nation of H. C. Thompson as chair- man. of the town committee and are looking over the available timber with a view of selecting his successor. Mr. Thompson has announced that he pro- poses to quit as the head of the party machine, his private business requir- ing_too much of his time to permit his Ineddling in politics to any great extent, Mr. Thompson has served as chair- man’ of the committee for over a year and has given satisfaction. The re- publicans elected the town ticket at the October election last year, win- ning handily, a result accomplished chiefly by the efforts of Mr. Thomp- son.and his associates on the commit- tee. Much of the strain of a cam- - palgn falls to the lot of the town com- mittee chairman and as there will be both town and state elections this fall, with” a possibility of exceptionally hard fights, the man occupying that position will be kept busy. The job is a thankless one at best and the leaders anticipate that they will have considerable difficulty in get- ting anyone to take it. They will ‘make an effort to have Mr. Thomp- son remain at the helm until after the fall campaigns, but as he appears determined to quit it is doubtful.if they can persuade him to reconsider. There are already two candidates in the field for the nomination for first selectman, W. J. Johnson, the present incumbent of the office, and his sec- retary, George S. Babcock, being anxious to serve as the town's busi- ness agent next year. Mr. Babcock claims to have received assurance of support from several prominent re- publicans in addition to. many from the “rank and file,” and he has an- nounced his intention of staying in the race to the finish. o i Party leaders claim that they have not as yet considered the selection of ‘a candidate for representative and they do not know of: anyone seeking -the honor. It is not expected that Paward T. Carter, who represented the town the last session of the legis- lature, will be in the race this year. Get Salary Increases. Postmaster P. J., Prior has received notice from Washington of an increase in his salary of $100, making his com- pensation as Uncle Sani’s Plainville representative $2,300 a vear. The post office did a business of over $11,- 000 during the fiscal year ending March 31, and the increase over the -preceding year was large enough to entitle the postmaster to a salary raise. At the postmaster’s request the postal department has also granted an increase In salary to Miss Edith A. Ells, the local secretary, She will now receive $1,000 a year, a raise of $100 having been granted. This is the last increase that can be given her un- der present conditions, $1,000 being the limit under civil service rules for an office of Plainville’s class. Postmaster Prior has sent a peti- tion to Washington for an increase to $1,100 a year in the salary of his as- sistant, Clinton J. Morse. . The latter is at present receiving $1,000 a year and it is likely that the department will approve of the increase. Both Mr. Morse and. Miss Bllis give entire satisfaction and patrons of the office feel that they are entitled to in- creased compensation. Move By July 16th. Officials of the Corbin Cabinet Lock company in New Britain, today ‘an- nounced that the boxes and .other equipment for the new post office in the Rogers’ bullding on Whiting street will be shipped here next Tues-- day and will be placed In positiony probably within twenty-four hours after its arrival. Work on the equip- ment is n&w practically finished -ana the company expgets to get the entire outfit installed- bystfe 15th, the date on which . they priginally promised shipment. * Carpenters, who are at work at the building, will be through before that time and as soon as the boxes are installed there will be nothing to pre- vent the change in the location of the office. . Postmaster Prior has been hopeful that he could give up the present lo- cation in Newton’s block on West Main street after closing business Tuesday night but it is doubtful it the change can be: made before Thursday. oA Trolleymen Get Extra Pay.

Reed ot this place, that some features of his decision recently given against the Orient Music company of Forestville, in Reed’s favor, were not properly interpreted and that benefits of $5 a week for the time he is incapacitatea are all that he is entitled to. Mr. Reed received a check for $81.50 a few days ago from the in- surance company with which the Orient people carried a policy. He understood, however, that Commis- sioner Chandler had decided that as the company instead of employing a ‘regular physiclan or surgeon to at- tend him at the time bhe was in- jured, engaged a chiropractor, it would have to pay the bills of doc- tors employed by Reed's parents. The comrhissioner states that 1n writing the decisibn he did not mean to convey this impression and that Reed himself is liable for the bills of his doctors. Brief Items.

Judge Gary, just before starting on his trip abroad, made a parting ad- dress to the presidents of the sub- sidiaries of the great steel corpora- tion of which he is the official head, in which he referred to the causes of depression in the irom and steel and other industries. After referring to general causes affecting other coun- tries as well as this, he said that in this country “the depression has been worse than in many others.” He did not, so far as appears in the published reports, attribute this to anti-trust legislation, actual or proposed, but he remarked that in his judgment “the tarift law lately passed has adversely affected the business conditions of this country.” He spoke of It es- pecially as it affected the iron and steel business. He sald that “while the imports of iron and steel in this country may not be large us com- pared Wwith the total of our produc- tion, yet if they are not large it will be because .the prices are so low that the foreign manufacturers cannot afford even to dump their surplus into this country.” How is it that in referring to 'the effect of the tariff those who plead their need of protection refer only to | imports. of foreign products which compete with their own? We have been, exporting iron and steel of late about ten times the value of that i ported. The exports have fallen but slightly under the reduction duties and such diminution as h taken place is accounted for by ti general depression affecting all thi principal markets. At the same ti there has been a slight falling off the imports due to the diminishi demand. If our manufacturers meet their foreign rivals in neuf markets and sell there in competiti, with them ten times as much as om markets take from them, they can- not be suffering severely from lack protective duties. The condis which make it unprofitable for rivals to “dump their surplus into country” must have some other eca than low duties. It is the same cf demand that affects the market f cur own producers, Another remark of Judge Gary # that “we have reason to expect tha under the present tariff law the earn-, ings of manufacturers will not be large as they ought to be in order furnish to the investor a fair retu: on the capital actually invested y his business or the payment to hi employes of the wages they need an: should be entitled to receive.” In th iron and steel business, unfortunately, much of the “capital actually in. vested,” as it stands today, especiall; that of the Steel corporation, has invested out of earnings in excess o payments of interest and divid upon a grossly inflated capitall on paper. That seriously weakens plea from that quarter. The chair« man of the corporation speaks with Tegret of the possible necessity of re-, ducing wages, which he also attributes( to the “tariff, but if the effect of that| is to cause reduction in prices, not| only of iron and steel but of othen, things as well, will it not in the 'ooc' time coming, which the judge an« ticipates, lower correspondingly the, cost of the things which wages p fer? What matters in everybody” income, whether from wages o salaries or profits of business, is no the figures in which-it is reckoned, but the means of living and enjoying life which it will' commgnd. . If high wages are accompanied by oo pondingly high prces for everything, what does it profit a man? If ti is less cost of production with, greaten; abundance, those who work and ti who trade may be alike better to the value of from $250,000,000 to $300,000,000 a year, which is just though the figures in their and outgo are smaller.
