The Chamber secured the ruling of the Attorney General through the State Bureau of Labor, that the law calls for the closing of Mercantile establishments employing female help for seven full holidays with pay, dur- “ing the year, before they can avail d | themselves of the provisions of the law allowing working or female help overtime during the ten day period previous to Christmas The ruling of the Attorney Gen- eral clearly shows that neither the closing of a store for parts of days, nor the keeping of the store open and allowing the female help time off, can be considered as in any way com- plying with the seven holidays’ pro- vision. TROLLEY EXTENSION WILL BE SOUGHT Ghamber of Commerce fo Begin Work on Three Propositions Trolley extension work, so much needed in New Britain, is not to be allowed to lapse. One important ex- tension through the north-west sec- tion of the city has been achieved this year and now the Chamber of Com- merce is considering two further ex- tensions. Extension of the East Main street line from its present terminus at Fairview cemetary eastward to the railroad crossing is desired by resid- ents living beyond the tracks. Service for this same section, the upper end of East street including the Seymour Park section, was proposed some years ago by an extension from the Hartford line at the junction of East and Dwight streets and it was thought at the time that the work would be carried out at once, but bad business conditions put a quietus on the pro- position and it was never taken up again. Extension of the Chestnut street line, which now terminates at Pleas- ant and Fairview streets, is to be sought. Some years ago the trolley company lost its charter privilege to extend in this direction by allowing it to lapse, but a renewal was secured from the legislature when Ex-Mayor Holloran was in the senate. Wheth- er it has again been allowed to lapse is a question that will be investi- gated by the street railway extension committee of the Chamber of Com- merce. An extension of the line through Stanley street if possible is desired by The Hartford Auto Parts Company, which will soon be housed in the new factory on East Ellis street. Residents of Stanley street south of Pleasant have for years sought trol- ley extension in that direction, but without success although the matter was urgently placed before the offi- cials of the Connecticut company. Another trolley extension that is de- sired is on Shuttle Meadow avenue from the terminus of the Arch street line, The extension committee of the Chamber of Commerce is to take up the matters at a meeting within the next few days and it is understood will lend every effort to the work. SHIF AHOY R. & E- Come on shipmates, listen to a yvarn spun about the outing of the office employes and foremen of the Russell & Erwin Mamufacturing com- pany. This here now outing will he held next Sunday and the good ship Bohemian has been chartered- The course will lay east by south on the Connecticut river. The party will weigh anchor at Hartford at 8 a. m. and will heave to at Middletown to take aboard any landlubbers who couldn’t get up in time to ship at the Capitol city. Up anchor and away from Middletown at 9.830- That’s the schedule and as the Bohemian always warps away from the dock on the minute all must be aboard when the pilot rings for full speed ahead. A life on the bounding wave, that's the life. But what ho, a few hours later there will be an ‘appetizin’ odor com- ing from the galley: An investiga- tion will show John Fred Eppler, who would be chief cook to the king if they allowed such things in this country, busy getting a chicken din- ner ready. Chicken? Sure, Mate, this is a real cruise. No salt horse and hardtack on the menu. After dinner has been stowed away below there will be sonks on deck with nary = care for the morrow. Then home- ward bound in the moonlight. Life’s a short cruise but a gay one. Bohem- ian ahoy. SALVATION ARMY FESTIVAL. This evening at the Salvation Army hall, 316 Church street, the annual harvest festival will be held. Many articles consisting of harvest pro- ducts will be sold and refreshments will be served.

His companions suffered less ) serious injuries. 0GER GETS FIVE YEARS IN PRISON Former Canaan Bank Cashier Ad- mits Embezzlement Charge New Haven, Sept. 29.—George Roger, until recently cashier of the Canaan National bank, was sentenced to five years at the Atlanta prison by Judge E. S. Thomas in the United States district court' today, after a plea of guilty to the charge of em- bezzlement had been entered. Rogers had nothing to say when: arraigned: District Attorney Spellacy said to the court that Roger had worked for a small salary and had a wife and six children. The amount of the em- bezzlement ‘was about $6,600 and the money had been taken in driblets to pay living expenses: The court im- posed the five year sentence, which is the minimum under the law as it ap- plied to this case. Wiibur H. Webb, of Hartford, who wrote letters to a man named Bragg in Windsor threatening to expose alleged illegal practices but offering not to do so if he received $100 was returned to Jjail for ten days, he having been glready confined for eight weeks. Canvasser Sent to Jail. Joseph W. Ryan of New London, who sent a number of fictitious or- ders to a nursery concern for whicn he was canvassing and received part of the commissions on the order was sentenced to six months in Hartford jail. He told the court that he met another canvasser who made out the orders and he forwarded them. Wong Gong, of Hartford, describ- ed as a ‘“bad man” was sent to At- lanta for two years and fined $100 on another count under the Harrison An- ti-Narcotic law. Mr, Spellacy said that the Chinaman not only had sold his own people but had been sup- plying others. .Judge Thomas recog- nized the prisoner as a witness in a recent case, and remarked that evi- dently he had not learned a lesson from that.case.” Donk Kee, charged ‘with having a drug in his possession was fined $60 without costs on each of two counts: Charlie Kee of New Haven was sent to jail for . four months fer violation of the narcotic drug’ law- Case to Washington. In case of the Arena Centerfreze company, which was before the grand jury yesterday, it is understood, that the matter of a settlement will go to ‘Washington. This case, it is under- stood, remains a civil and not a crim- inal .one. The charge is that a rep- resentative of the company brought four hockey players here from Can- ada under the alleged promise that they would be used on an ice hockey team which was to be promoted by the company at its ice rink. The four men came, and did not get posi- tions, and were finally not needed as hockey players. It is said that the men were stranded' here, unable to pay their board, and the company, or its representatives, refused to pay their carfare home. The men sought a lawyer to see if they could get financial assistarice through legal action but as nothing could be done the attorney called the case to the attention of Secretary of Labor Wil- son who sent an immigration inspec- tor here- Because the men were likely to become a charge they were deported in May having been here in almost destitute circumstances from February- The government brought civil suit and it is said that .an offer of settlement was made. The case from the aspect of the alien co tract labor law was brought to t: attention of the grand jury yesterday.

STEAMER ISABEL AGROUND ON REEF Beached By Captain Alter Strik- ing Obstruction in Sound Stamford, Sept. 29.—With her valuable cargo of general merchan- dise piled on her upper decks to es- cape damage by water, the steamer Isabel of the Norwalk Steamboat line was hard aground on Cow Reef to- day about half a mile or a little less off Shippan Point. She was beached during the night by her captain, George H. Rowland, to prevent sink- ing in Long Island Sound after she had struck an obstruction off the south ‘end of the reef while bound from New York to Norwalk. The tug Annie V., of Norwalk went out to the stranded vessel this fore- noon to assist in the transfer of the cargo to the Cimbria of the same line. It is believed that after the cargo has been removed the Isabel will be | taken off, unless a storm comes Uup. Struck an Obstructin. Captain Rowland, who came ashore today for a short time told Manager George Foote of the company .that last night when the Isabel was off the southern end of Cow Reef she struck an obstruction- He though it must have been a submerged wreck. A hole was torn in the vessel through which the water began to pour in such volume that it was apparent the Isabel would go down in a few mo- ment’s unless she could be beached. Captain Rowland said he was fa- maliar with the surreundings and he at once turned her nose toward shore and ran his vessel aground on the reef. When the crash came and a hasty investigation showed the ves- sel’s danger, he said, Second Engineer George Brown and six members of the crew took to a life-boat and made for the light off Shippan point. The remainder of the crew and ships officers remained on board. and after the Isobel had been beached set to work piling up the cargo on the upper decks to protect it from damage by waterr When this was done early today the crew came ashore in the small boats but several of the officers, including the captain remained on board. The steamer is lying in about ten feet of water. The sea is calm, and it was believed that the vessel was in little danger unless conditions changed. Returns to Ship. Captain Rowland remained ashore only a short time and then returned to his ship. ‘When Second Engineer Brown and bis party reached shore they told a story of having left the vessel only about ten minutes before she went down as a result of a collision with some underwater object. Brown was of the opinion that the captain and rest of the crew had also taken to the boats but he could not tell any- thing more about them. Later when it was found that Brown was laboring under a misapprehension of the con- ditions, President Anning J. Smith of the company said he believed that the story told by Brown was due to the excitement under which they had been laboring. President Smith went to New York today to arrange for the taking off of the Isabel. The stranded steamer is 155 feet long, has a gross tonnage of 421 and is valued at about $40,000. The dam-~ age to her was estimated today at about §1,000. The Isabel is a pas- Senger-carrying steamer with a -ca- pacity of about 800 During the sum- mer she plies between New York and Rockaway Beach. She was sub- stituted - recently for the freighter Marion which is in dry dock, Preparing to Float Vessel. South Norwalk, Sept. 29.—George F. Foote, the local manager of the Smith Transportation company, this morning stated that Dpreparations were being made to float the steamer Isabel, which struck a submerged wreck off Stamford last night- The Isabel later was beached by Captain George H. Rowland, of Bridgeport The latter, with thirteen members of the crew, remained on the vessel, and were in no danger. S8ix other members put ashore in a life-boat, and told sensational stories of the sinking of the boat, and the suppos- ed loss of the others on board. The boat had about ten feet of ‘Water in the hold, and the crew shift- ed the cargo to the upper deck, and today it will be transferred to the Cimbria, of the same line, and brought to Norwalk. The damage was estimated at about $1,000. TUTHILL MAKING GOOD. New Britain Athlete Fullback on Varsity Football Team, (Special to the Herald.)

LOAN TERMS PLEASE BRITISH FINANCIERS Amount of Credit Shade Higher Than Was Looked for Originally in in Some Quarters. London, Sept. 29, 1:40 P, M.—The definite announcement of the terms on which the Anglo-French loan is to be issued in the United States was about in line with the expectations of British financiers. Though the yield is a shade higher than had been looked for originally in some quar- ters, the general opinion is that heroic measures Wwere Necessary to remove the deadlock in exchange transactions which had been allowed to continue for so long. It is folt here that the advantage rests with America in obtaining such a good rate of interest and facilities for its export trade, although Eng- land also reaps benefit by the post- ponement for at least five years of payment of the debit for goods re- ceived. The question of exchange is now of first importance. Belief is ex- pressed in banking and exchange cir- cles that further measures will be necessary to bring the rate more near- lv to a normal figure. It is known that a good deal of money is being held for remittance as soon as cable transfers reach 4.80. Gold is still going out and will con- tinue to go in payment of munitions.

MAY BE SOLD AT Old Steam Auxiliary Frigate Franklin Not Fit For Service. Washington, Sept. 29.—The old steam auxiliary frigate Franklin, re- ceiving ship at Norfolk navy yard, probably will be sold at auction soon, as no longer fit for any use by the navy. The Franklin was completed soon after the close of tne Civil War and was one of the finest unprotected craft of her day. Ironclads had displaced wooden ships as a result of the bat- tle between the Monitor and the Mer- rimac, however, and the Franklin made only one foreign voyage. She was a sailing vessel fitted with aux- ilary engines of smafl power for use in ill winds or over soundings. Her two-bladed propeller could be hoisted out of water, giving the ship free action under canvas. CTION. MURDER AND SUICIDE Young Man Kills Cafe Piano Player and Himself.
