Yoo s NEW BRITAN GETS FULL PROMINENCE 35 OFFIGERS LOST WITH FORMIDABLE Gity Wil Hereafter e Buletined | British Warship Torpedoed by Ger- a Stop on lnmuun Trains. The cfforts of the New Britain Chamber of Commerce to get full prominence for the city’'s name on the bulletin boards of the New Haven road met with another success today when the company sent word to Sec- retary A. H. Andrews that the rail- road officials will not hereafter neg- lect to post New Britain as one of the stops on the through trains Boston and New York. At the Union station in Boston the Bulletin boards have not always in- dicated New Britain as one of the stops on the through trains and this fact has been noted a number of times by New Britain residents. The Chamber of Commerce for some weeks has been working on a few minor details that will assure New Britain better service. The placing of the bulletin board in the station here last week is one of the details arranged by the chamber. The work of the Chamber of Com- merce will be resumed with a rush next week with four important meet- ings of bureaus and committees: The first meeting of committee on char- ter changes and home rule legislation of the Civic bureau will be held Mon- day evening, January 4, at 8 o’clock. 1t is expected that the principal work of this committee will be to keep in touch with the committee appointed by the common council and to keep the chamber advised of the progress of the agitation for home rule legis- lation. The members of this commit- tee are C. J. White, Carl S. Neumann, and A. H. Andrews. The first monthly meeting of the | directors of the Bercantile bureau will be held Tuesday, January 5 at 10 a. m. Two committees appointed by W. H. Crowell, the president of the bureau, were announced today- The committee which will investigate and report on the matter of co-opera- tive deliveries is composed of S. M. Davidson, Robert Sloan and John Erickson. The committee on uniform hours and practices is composed of W. W. Leland, William J. Dunlay and C. A. Hall. The first meeting of the committee on charities of the Civic bureau will be held Thursday afternoon, January 7, at 4:45 o'clock. Considerable in- formation on this subject has been gathered and will be discussed by the committee at its meeting. HOgs Slade, principal of the High school, is chairman and the other members are Rev. J. T. Winters, George P. Hart, E. W. Pelton and Miss Mary Campbell.

HIGH SCHOOL FIVE WINS IN WINSTED Whipped to meeting of the direct- will be held s, at 8 Gilbert Basketball Team a Fare Thee Well by Sturdy Sharpshooters. The New Britain basketball team started the New Year right last evening when they defeated the Gilbert schoal in Win- sted before a large crowd in an ex- citing game, 28-24. While New Britain led throughout the Gilbert boys tied the score with but one min. ute to play. Then Schade and Tut- hill dropped in two field goals in fast time which decided the game. The first half ended 18-10 in favor of New Britain. For the Gilbert school Cady starred in floor work and shooting baskets from fouls, but he was well covered by Dudack and shot but three field goals. Captain Schade and Ander- son led the New Britain scoring and the whole team showed remarkable improvement in passing, but the shooting was weak. Summary: N. B. H. s. Gilbert School.

The scheduled game with Ansonia for this evening has been cancelled. The manager received notice this morning after bringing the team as far as Waterbury. The teams are under contract to play, but the An- sonia manager seems to have lost sight of this fact. This makes the athletic relations between the schools somewhat strained and all relations i In sports may be discontinued. ANOTHER COASTING ACCIDENT. Four Persons Seriously Injured in Crash at Torrington. Torrington, were serfously received minor Jan. Z.—Four injured and six hurts lust night when a double-ripper which they were coasting ran off the road und against a large tree on Scoville Hill, Harwin ton, just Torrington line. The double-ripper was demolished, James Fahey, steersman, received a sprained ankle and injuries to his back, and his brother, William Fahey, was injured about the head.

M.—The Brit- ish battleship IFormidable, which sani in the English channel Friday morn- ing with the greater part of her crew was torpedoed off Portsmouth b: German submarine, according to a re- port current in Paris. Must Be Expected. London, Jan. 1, 10:20 p. destruction of the British battleship Formidable in the English Channel today by a mine or a submarine boat, which, although it is one of those events Englishmen now realize must be expected so long as the British navy is compelled to keep to the seas, has caused widespread grief. This is not due so much to the loss of the ship, which W fifteen years old and cost about $5,000,000, as it is to the death of the men—600 in num- ber—who are believed to have gone down with her. Thus far only 150 men of the Formidable’s crew of 750 are known to have been rescued. A light cruiser picked up eighty Tor Bay trawler sevent Locality Kept Secret. The British admiralty has not glven the Tocality where the disaster oc- curred and declares that it is unable to say whether the ship struck a mine or was torpedoed; but as the British fleet again has been active in shelling . the German positions on the Belgian | coast, and as the German submarincs have been more and more using Sce- brugge as a base, the inclination here is to believe that a submarine again has been successful in an attack. MARSHALSHIP BERTH IS STILL UNDECIDED Connecticut Congressmen Have Not Yet Agreed on Candidate.— Reilly Makes Speech. Washington, Jan. 2. ment from the leading democrats of Hartford county of United States marshal in Connecticut is expected here any day now. It is understood that the candidate will be a Hartford city man. Who it will be is not stated. Whether he will be appointed will depend upon Represen- tative Lonergan and the appointing powers. Other Connecticut congr: men will oppose any Hartford man. The delegation has not got together on the matter. Senators Mcl.ean and Brandegee voted against the Martin amendment to eliminate the literary test provision from the immigration bill. The amendment was defeated by 4 to 1. The Connecticut senators voted against the Reed amendment to immigrants from —An endorse- a country.
