Residents of Wooster street in the Barnesdale section have given notice that they will appear before the county commissioners in opposition to the granting of a club liquor license to the German Rifle club, which has its headquarters at Schuetzen Park on the top of the hill. Objection is raised on the grounds that the place -is not peliced, net sufficiently lighted nor possesses means of fire protection. street Cuff Shirts he fall season demands a Inge from summer wear. cuffs give the dressy ap- rance at the wrist.

The hearing will no doubt be well attended and the issue will be fought out to a finish. Peaple all over the county will watch with interest the outcome as the decision is likely to have important bearing on the com- missioners’ attitude in regard to club licenges to summer parks. Thus far no club Ticenses have been refused as there have been no remanstrances filed. E. E. Mucke: an officer and promi- nent member of the German Rifle club, speaking in reference. to the threatened remonstrance today said the trouble appears to be due to a misunderstanding. The residents of the club house neighborhood thought the club license meant an open saloon, whereas the license under the new law is of a restricted character and will permit the serving of liquors to mem- bers only. The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday morning, Navember 16, at 11 a. m, NO ACTION TAKEN ON PICTURE. Colored People Discuss Matter But Take No Definite Stand. Members of the A, M. E. Zion church at a meeting held last evening discussed the matter of the presenta- tion of the moving picture, “The Birth of a Nation,” here next month, but due to the absence of a number of the leading members of the church no definite action was taken. Rev. J. S. Gurley the pastor said this morning that the matter would again be bhrought up tomorrow even- ing, and something of an important stand would than be taken. | Saturday’s Hard Candy Specials Candy Puffs Asst.

Bartlewski, the local priest whose delayed arrival in this country caused considerable worry to his parents who reside on Clark street and who safely arrived in this city yesterday afternoon, was the source of much gratification on part of his friends, in an interesting mgnner tells his experiences. since leaving the University of Freiburg, Switzerland, where he graduated a { month ago. The priest said that he was not scheduled to arrive here until this week, and the trip was somewhat delayed on account of the Steamship America on which he secured pass- age springing a leak while at the dock in Bordeau, France. The priest said the voyage was an excellent one, without accident, and was the means of greatly improving his health. Speaking of conditions in Switzer- land, Father Bartlewski said that business there is normal and thg¢ war now urging in European countries does not seem to greatly perturb na- tives. His attention to studies at the university prevens him from ge- ting #bout the country very much. At the outset of the war an army was mobilized in Switzerland and has been kept in readiness since. Young men and boys are drafted for three months service at a time to guard the French and German borders, serving until they are relieved. Much excitement prevailed when mobilization was or- dered and this continued for several months. At the outset the Swiss peo- ple were of the opinion that the war would continue but a short time, but the situation is now regarded With more gravity, with the feeling pre- vailing that it is an unnecessary evil and should end soon. ' The sentiment is not prompted how- ever by the feeling that the Frdhich government should give into the Ger- mans and the enthusiasm is at as-high a pitch as ever. None of the students in the university was hampered at any time by the soldiers, their studics and other ‘activities continuing as if nothing had ever happened. Slight trouble was experienced by them at times making their way about the country, No signs of fighting were seen in the vicinity of the university, nor was there any evidence of hard- ships endured by the people- News of the progress of the war is one of the things that is hard to secure in Switzerland due to the cen- sorship. Even civilians in that country are prone to treat the war with abso- lute secrecy- There were a number of German families making their homes in Switzerland at the beginning of the conflict and sentiment at that time favored the Kaiser, but lately it has been noticeable that the feeling is somewhat leaning toward the Al- lies’ cause. In speaking of his trip through France, Father Bartlewski said that the people are forced to secure: pass- ports to go from one city to another and these passports are under the su pervision of the police and soldiers. The priest did not get into the war zon and in consequence he saw no fighting. The tone of the people in France, the priest said, is that the end of the war would be welcomed. The young priest has made no ar- rangements about celebr:rqng his first mass but it will probably be said at the Sacred Heart of Jesus church a week from tomorrow. He has not received any assignment from the bishop. A son was born at St. Francis’ hos- pital yesterday to Mr. and Mrs Ed- ward J. O’Connor of 25 Capitol avenue Hartford.

He said howsver, that there are no signs; or other notices telling where the park property begins so he thought he was cutting on Mr. Kilbourne’s land. This | cxplanation seemed excusable until| park Superintendent Ralph G.

MOVE ON FOOT TO CHANGE LICENSES Peddlars Would Rather Pay Yearly Fec Than Take Out License Each Month. 1f present suggestions being freely made are carried out, one of the new ordinance changes to be asked for will be one which will set the license fee for peddlars at a certain rate per vear, rather than $2 per month as at present. Tnder the present system every peddlar has to take out a new license cach month for which he pays $2. In this manner hardship is worked on lccal men who are in this business all the year. A couple of strangers will come into town with a carload of certain produce which they have bought cheap. They take out a month’s rermit for $2 and sell their carload of produce at a greatly reduced price, killing business for the local men who are here all the time. Then they leave. The suggestion is to have a_ fixed fee for a year's license and ‘make every peddlar take one out. This would do away in a great measure to the many violations of the license law for while it is now impossible ffor o peddlar to manage to sell a short time without a license, it would not be so easy $665,915 BUILDING HERE IN SIX MONTHS Over Half a Million Is Value Repre- sented in Permits Given Out By A.
