Ancona, Victim of Submarine, Had Figured in War News FLOOR AND CHAIR 11 New Rule Is Adopted He Cannot Debate and Preside, Too While the committee revising .the rules of the common council is by no means near its goal, good progress iz being made and Alderman M. I Jester, the chairman, is confident that it will be able to make a report to the council at the January meet- irg. The committee has already held three meetings. Important changes are being con- sidered and, in the words of Chair- man Jester, when the committee’'s work is completed the rules will be up to date and not in need of further revision for a long time to come. Probably one of the most import- ant changes contemplated is one re- garding the action of the mayor dur- ing debates in the council. In the past it was permitted for the mayor to step from his chair, express his views on any matter and then re- sume the gavel. The committee has a change under consideration which Wwould prevent this and which for- bids the mayor to resume the chair after participating in debate until the subject under. discussion is defi- nitely disposed of, Five Minutes for Debate. The indiscriminate and wastefui use of perfectly good language will be prevented by the adoption of a rule which automatically shuts off lengthy speeches. This will be a fixe-minute rule and it is proposed to apply the gag to any member who speaks more than five minutes at any time without permission of the pre- siding officer or the council. For the recommendation of this rule, or one similar in nature, the committee will no doubt receive the blessings of many in the council. Disputes such as have been experi- enced recently. over the appointment of an advisory committee to the board c{ public works and water commis- sion will be presented in the future if the council adopt8 a recommenda- committee which is revamping the rules. A rough draft of the rule in avestion says: “The mover of a ques- tion may V\lthdraw his motion at any ime before a decision or amendment and when a motion has been carried in the affirmative or negative it shall Le in order for any member who voted with the majority to move a re- consideration thereof at the same or the meeting next succeeding that at which the motion was passed and such motion shall take precedence over all other questions except to fix the time to which to adjourn, and to adjourn, caused action that cannot be reversed be reconsidered.” nor can a vote which has Parlor Language Only, Only gentlemanly language will be permitted as another rule will say: “No member shall be mentioned by name but may be referred to by such designation as will be intelligible and respectful.” Constituents will hereafter know just where their representatives stand * BLACK AND WHITE * EFFECTS IN ‘WALL PAPERS The demand for this pattern wall paper is indeed large—we are able to supply this demand for our display is -~ complete with the finest quality ‘wall pgpers in the city.

She was a twin screw steamer of 8,210 gross ton- nage, 482 feet long and with a beam of 58 feet. The Ancona had been tion now under consideration by the | in the Italian line service for X years, and without her cargo was val- ued at more than $1,00,000. She played a prominent part in the res- cue of passengers from the burning Fabre liner Sant’ Anna in mid-At- lantic in 1914, coming to the Sant’ Anna’s aid and taking off more than 600 passengers: The Sant’ Anna suc- ceeded in checking the fire and pro- ceeded to the Azores without further assistance. For seyeral months be- = [ fore Italy’s entrance into the war the Ancona was engaged in carrying home Italian reservists from this country and supplies for the Italian government. On one of her. trips from New York to Naples late in August last year the Ancona ‘was stopped by th British at Gibraltar and twenty-four Germans and one Austrian were taken off the ship. LECLAIR TELLS OF SHOOTING CHUM Boys Werc Hunting Squirrels and Ac- cident Was Cause of Terry’s Death. Collinsville, Nov. 11.—Lawrence Le- Clair,” fifteen years old, who shot and killed ‘his companion, Ru; the same age, while the two were hunting in the woods near here Mon- day, was to be taken to Hartford to- day to tell his story to Coroner J. G. Calhoun. The boy, who will be ac- companied by a deputy sheriff, is not under arrest. According to the story which he has already told, he and Terry were seated on the ground when they saw a squi rel in a tree. Both reached for their guns, and LeClair, in his excitement accidentally pulled the trigger of his rifle, the ball aitting Terry. An autopsy performed showed that contrary to the vesterday first appropriations of mony shall be taken by roll call.” Another rule regarding voting says: “The vote on every ordinance shall be taken by a two-thirds vote of the members present.” Special reasons will be required from a member who wishes to be excused from voting as a Tecummen- dation says: “When a question is put by the chair every member present shall vote unless the council for special reasons shall excuse him but if personally interested in the result he shall not vote and no member shall bte permltted to vote after the de- cision is announced by the presiding cffice Regarding members courfcil chamber during a meeting, the committee recommends: 'No member shall absent himself from the council chamber before adjournment without leave unless there be a quorum without his presence.” All cormittees to whom any petition or other matter is referred shall re- port within one month or ask exten- sion of time upon reasous stated to the council for delay HORSE SHOW ENTRY IS DISQUALIFIED leaving the Animal Entered As Highball Was Really Sir Braxhon—“The Monk” Wins, | New York, Nov- 11.—Discovery that the horse entered in the horse show as highball and winner of a blue ribbon in the class for heavy- weight saddle horses was really Sir Braxhon, resulted today in the with- drawal by the judges of the ribbon and its award to a third horse. Highball was one of the entries from the Belmont plantation, under which named Edward B. McClean of ‘Washington shows his horses. After the award of the prize, Miss C. M.

SWIMMING NOW IN SCHOOL CURRICULUM Miss Beatrice Fox Engaged for Sacred Heart Children more step is being taken by Lucyan Bojnowski. the energetic Sacred Heart of Jesus One Rev, pastor of the Polish church, for the advancement and betterment of the scholars of the parochial school by the introduction of swimming into the curriculum of studies now being pursued by the Scholars. Plans for this new line have been under cunsideration for some time by the pastor, and have been completed by the engaging of Miss Beatrice Fox of this city to take charge. The classes will be divided into two sections, one consisting of twenty-five boys and the other of twenty-five girl. Lessons will be given every Friday afterncon for the boys and Saturday mornings for the girls The school is equipped with twc up to date tanks with dimensions oc¢ 36x50 feet. The first lessons will be given tomor- row. The idea of having swimming les- sons in the school was formulated by Father Bojnowski during the summer after careful study of the many deaths from drowning and also the many narrow escapes. The pastor has felt for some time that it is essential that the body should be trained as well as the brain, and to carry out this idea he has equipped one of the finest gymnasiums in the state, where young people are taught by capable teach- ers. In securing Miss Fox as teacher of swimming the priest has made an ex- cellent move to rd the carrying out of his plans. She is one of the best qualified teachers in this line of work in New England states. Miss Fox se- cured her training in the State Nor- mal School of Gymnastics in New Haven and has had considerable ex- perience, particularly among women at Y. W. C. A, camps- She is at pres- ent teaching swimming and gym- nasium exercises in the American School for the Deaf in Hartford. City Items ———— L Mr. and Mrs. E. W.
