Trom the ex- terior, the handsome structure gives the appearance of entire completion. | Grading work is going on about the | grounds and this work will be finish- ed before winter sets in. Finishing work is now going on in every department and much progress is apparent. The upper floor, which will be devoted to class rooms, |is finished =o far as the woodwork is concerned. The hard wood floors have been laid and the inside trim is also done. Steam fitters are busy pre- paring to connect the radiators which have been distributed in every room. The electrical fixtures remain to be installed and the painters have con- siderable work ahead. The heating | plant, which is separate from the ! main structure and is approached by an underground tunnel, is practically finished, the furnaces and boiler hav- ing been installed and connections made with the large yellow brick stack which marks the location of the school from a distance. School to Be Proud Of. New Britain people may rightly be proud of this addition to its splendid school plant. The city has been a pioneer in this section in the matter of vocational training. The first trade training school in the state, financed and conducted by the state, was opened here in the factory formerly occupied by Cor- bin Brothers’ company below Whit- ing street and it proved such a mark- ed success that educational leaders from all sections of the country had their attention drawn to it. The city followed up this initial effort by the construction of the Prevocational school in the rear of the Central Grammar school. This building has been occupied some time and the students there are doing a work which has guaranteed the success of the latest and more advanced under- taking, the Vocational High school.

Mrs, Peter Robe who was called %o Michigan by the death of her hus- pand and who was expected to return today, has been detained by illness Fireproof in Every Way. The Bassett- street building is not only admirably adapted for its pur- pose, the training of the youth of the city to the use of tools and the making of articles of practical value, but it is an architectural ddornment also. It is, moreover, fireproof and that in the most up-to-date sense. The wide stairways and corridors are all laid in concrete reinforced with steel and the railings and guards are of wrought iron. [very floor is laid in concret although finished in hard wood. The lighting, heating and ven- tilating are of the most modern type and in fact it is difficult to offer adverse criticism of any part of the structure. A concrete roof finished in loose slag guarantees that the building is free from the danger of fire that might be carried by sparks and the separate heating plant adds a further protection from that most dreaded catastrophe, a school fire. The building is constructed in the form of a huge “T.” The main part fronting on Bassett street. This part of the structure will be given up to class and recitation rooms and the rear and basement rooms to the var- jous shop and construction depart- ments. Y. W. C.A. NOTES. Miss Mary Brehovsky, city mission- ary, will speak at the Y. W. C. A. vesper service tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Everybody is cor- dially invited. A welcome party will be held in the new building on Thursday eve- ning, December 2, at which time the old members of the Y. W. C. A. will welcome into the association the new members of the past three months. There will be games, danc- ing and refreshments and much other fun. All members, both old and \new‘ will have a wonderful time. The various clubs and classes will meet as usual on their stated eve- nings. New Foreign l)h ision Opencd—Result of Holy War.

Vocational | NO PLOT TO SINK LINER SAYS BERLIN Germans Take Exceptions to Stories On Sinking of Lusitania Pub- lished in England. Berlin, Nov. 27, by wireless to Sayville.—The Overseas News Agency says: “According to cablegrams from ‘Washington, as published in England, it has now been proved that the sinking of the Lusitania was planned by Germans in the United States; that Count Von Bernstorff represent- ed the proposal to Berlin, and that the German foreign office expressly approved the plan. ‘These stories are ridiculous in- ventions, thie ohject of which is very easy to perceive. Therefore, every sensible person here expects the iwhole world will have sufficient com- mon sense to value such reports at their true merit.” STATE BUILDING NUMBER OF BRIDGES No More Contracts Will Be Awarded This Year Hartford, Nov. 27.—Highway Com- missioner Charles J.

Paris, Nov. 27, 2:50 a. m.—News- rapers of Bulgaria, says the corres- pendent at Saloniki of the Petit Parisien, are declaring that the Bul- garian army, having conquered Ser- Lian Macedonia, Bulgaria should be satisfied with .its triumph and, seeing that Thrace is being retained by the Turks, should not further the fears of the Serbians. BRITAIN YIELDS, Washington, Nov- 27.—Great Brit- ain has yielded to the American rep- resentations for removal of all re- striction on the shipment of toba to neutral consignees in neutral countries.

Iniantrymen Reinforce | Garrison on Border Nogales, Ariz., Nov. 27.—With the evacuation of Nogales, Sonora, by Gen. Villa’s forces and the arrival here to- | day of an additional 1,700 United States infantrymen to reinforce the border troops at this point, residents of this town experienced a feeling of security such as had not been enjoyed since Villa forces took possession at Nogales, Sonora, following their de- feat at Agua Prieta. | The belief was generally expressed | that should there be a recurrence of | the exciting events of vesterday when Villa snipers fired into American ter- ritory from the Mexican side, killing one United States soldier and wound- | ing two others, such an attack would meet with prompt and vigorous re- sponse. The troops scheduled to arrive to- day compose a provisional brigade | made up from the Seventh and Twen- tieth Regiments of United States In- | fantry stationed at Douglas, Ariz. | Cates Seriously Hurt. Herbert L. Cates, private in Com- pany L, Twelfth Infantry, was the most seriously hurt of the two wound- ed American soldiers. He was shot in the abdomen. It is believed that he has an even chance to recover. Arthur L. Saupe, private in the same company was shot in the right foot. The dead American soldier was Stephen Littles, who also was a mem- ber of Company L. His home was at Fairmont, N. C. Evidence that any attempt at loot- ing in Nogales, Sonora, during the oc- cupation of that town on the Mexican side of the border by Carranza forces would be summarily dealt with was conveyed to the American side last | | | 1 | eral Alvaro Obregon’s forces, who en- tered the town following the evacua- tion by Villa forces, had executed eight alleged looters. Carranza Men Executed. Among the men executed were a Carranda captain and three Carranza soldiers. Latest reports of the casualties among the Villa snipers whose firing into American territory precipitated the battle of yesterday, placed the total dead at more than forty. Efforts to ascertain the exact loca- tion of the Villa forces who evacuated the Mexican town opposite here, thus far have proved futile. At a conference last night with a representative of Gen. Obregon, Col. W. H. Sage, commanding the United States troops. explained that the firing exchanged between the American sol- diers and the Carranza cavalrymen was due in a measure to the 1 of information by him that Gen. Obre- gon’s forces under Col. Cardenas were approaching so closely. I had arranged with the Carranza consul to notify me when the Car- ranza troops arrived,” Col. Sage said. | “The wires were down last night and the consul failed to receive the expect- | ed information.” Beltran Shot Bean. Col. Sage received an affidavit last night by Joshua Urbana, a fireman who worked with Edgar Bean, the American locomotive engineer for- merly of Bridgeport, Conn., who was killed in Sonora early this week, which asserts that the Villa commander, Beltran, shot Bean with his own hand. | According to the affidavit, the shoot- ing took place when the locomotive Bean was driving jumped the track afer leaving Cananea, where the Villa | men had looted a bank and the prop- erties of the Cananea Consolidated Copper company.

FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS PRAISED Have Had Good Effect on Nation’s Finances, Declares Hulbert Chicago, Nov. 27.—Praise for the federal reserve banks and the effect they have on the finances of the na- tion was voiced today before the con- ference of the Western Economic so- ciety by Edmund D, Hulbert, a Chi- | cago banker. Mr. Hulbert said that no one fa- miliar with the facts could doubt that had the federal reserve banks been in operation in August, 1914, as they are today there would have been no suspension of payment in this country. “Violent contractions in money and | credit are always followed by periods ' of expamsion which, if unchecked, lead almost certainly to another cri- sis,” said Mr. Hulbert “We are now passing through just such a period of expansion. The function of the federal board to contract credits in a period of over-cxpression is just as important as is its function to expand credits in a time of excessive contractions.” “What we want is to get the coun- try accustomed to having the brakes put on at both ends,” continued Mr. Hulbert, that fluctuations of rates shall limits, be NO ENDOF T.
