SAV- With one of the largest gatherings | in the history of the organization the annual assembly of the Connecticut Chautauqua association’ opened this afternoon at the Plainville camp | i grounds which is to be the scene of | many interesting sessions during the current week. Clear skies and ideal weather conditions helped to *make the attendance exceedingly large for | the opening day and the Chautauqua | made a most auspicious start. Many of the members of _the association came here last week to get settled in their cotages before the opening of the | a >mbly but there were a large num- ber of new arrivals today and by the time President Truman J. Spencer of | Hartford formally declared the be- ginning of the session the crowd had swelled to proportions that were most gratifying to the officers, ! President Spencer welcomed the | 0ld members and the visitors and | commented on the prospects for a | most successful assembly. He out- | lined the plans that have been pre- | pared by the officers and gave a brief report concerning the program ‘"‘“di the manner in which the various | classes are to be conducted. Mr. Spencer has heen associated with the Chautauqua for many vears and he was glven a most cordial reception by the old members.

(Special to the Herald.) Nogales, Arizona, July 10.—Last night Company I of New Britain did outpost duty ouside of Camp Holcamb. The men are wondering what is the this sudden extra prevaution and it is being whispered about camp that the officers have received infor- mation from scouts that a band of n.arauding “Greasers” is in the neigh- borhood and may possibly make an attempt to sacvk the town as they did at Columbus. There was no outward sign of hos- tilities last night, hawever, and al- though all of the New Britain boys who were on guard were on the qui Mo Take Action on Gutter and| Curbing on Worthington Ridge “STATE NOW WISHES 8700 cause of On Fishing Trip.

The ar- | Railroad Company to Have Colony. | guments waxed warmer and warmer of Selectmen This Afternoon—Mariy spective Infants Have Summer When the state highway department, | decided to lay the new concrete road on Worthington Ridge, the town was asked to contribute $300 toward the expense of laying a concrete curbing | and gutter. This matter was brought | up at a town meeting and the propo- sitlon was voted down. Since the work has started many citizens have come to realize that a gutter of some sort will be necded. At the recent meeting of the Village Improvement soclety the matter was discussed, but nothing definite was done. Saturday afternoon Deputy Commissioner Saun- ders was a visitor in town and inter- viewed First Selectman William H. Gibney The department now esti- mates the town's share for the con- struction of a suitable gutter and curbing will amount to $700 and has asked for that amount.. There 1s a question whether the town wiil willing to do this, and at a meeting of the selectmen, which was to be held this afternoon, the matter of calling a special town meeting to take action on the matter, was to be discussed. This will have to be held in the im- mediate future, for despite the lack of labor, the Suzio company of Meri- den is making fast headway on the street and work on gutters will be starteq after conclusion of the: con- crete 'aving. Many Children Sick. Many cases of cholera morbus and cholern infantum have been reported in the town during the past few davs. These are usual summer sickness for children and consequently, no alarm is felt. Dr. R. M. Griswold said this morning that the amount of iliness along this line is practically the same as other years. Dr. Gris- wold says there is no trace of infan- tile paralysls in the community. Negro Colony at Peat Works. Much interest was manifested about town yesterday, when it was noised about that the New Yok, New Haven and Hartford railroad was importing a negro colony of 100 to do manual labor on the company’s lines. It was «aid the negroes were coming Virginia and that a permanent dis- trict would be established for them on the Peat Works land. Rumor had it be | from | and finally they decided to have a competition. Accordingly, accom- panied by Mrs. Hubbard and M Westcott, they left for Raymond, Maine, this morning, where they will pend the next month, tacking the finny rascals to their lair. to have a sufficient supply of bait, the men took a trunk full of artificial bait ! They had heard be found in that to carry them in the contest and ‘“night walkers.” the latter could not state ,and decided along, so the loser | could offer no excuse.

Although the traln was scheduled to arrive early in morning, it had not done so up till noon today. The railroad company has been hampered more than usual this summer owing to the scarcity of labor and in common with other great the | Wilsons ‘ SHIRTS In order | I vive they had nothing to report. Yesterday was the first Sunday in camp and it was spent in a quiet manner. Chaplain Berg of Hartford preached several sermons and thare were also special services for the Cathalic boys in the regiments. Captain Ladbury of Company I and Captain E. Raymond Low of Company ¥.. with the officers of the First regi- ment, held a long conference yester- day morning with Colonel Richard Goadman regarding camp affairs, Vancouver’s Unemployed. (Springfield Union.) In view of the number of men the Dominion has sent to the European war and the well-known labor scarcity in the United States it is rather sur- prising to hear from the American consul general at Vancouver that labor is something of“a drug an the market across the border, and that there is no warrant for the report that 30,000 farm workers are desired there. On the contrary, he asserts that there are more than 1,000 unemployed in Van- couver and that for the want of work many able-bodled men in that province are dependent on public charity. Tt is not easy to account for this condition, in view of the encour- agement that the fareign demand has given to the raising of immense cerehl crops in the Dominion, and the un- questionable fact that in Canada, as in the United States, immigration has been reduced by the war. In the circumstances, one is justi- fled in assuming that the boom pro- moted for same years by the railroads running into Western Canada was somewhat overdone. Talk of stagna- tion and unemployment in Vancouver is particularly surprising, by the way, gince that is the community whose &acoption of the single tax idea has teen widely exploited in recent vears as a prosperity maker that our Ameri- can citles were advised to accept. Tt rather looks, too, as if the advantage of that arrangement were overrated by the enthusiasts. If not, we shall be interested to hear what the trouble is really’ with Vancouver.

The Chautauquans have been great- ly pleased with the improvements | made at the grounds during the vear. | Although the little colony is far in the woods, city conveniences are avail- able and the association members are not put to the inconveniences usually experienced at camp grounds ‘Bus service to the grounds was in- | augurated today and during the week | it is expected that jitnevs will be in operation to help transport the visit- | ors on the grounds | To Be Buried Here. Plainville friends of Mr. and Clayton B. Sechrest were shocked to- day to learn of the death of their | voungest son, Charles B. Sechrest, | which occurred t evening at the New Britain hospital after a few day illness with spinal meningitis. The boy was well known in this town. His pleasant disposition made him many | friends who learnéd Mrs. this morning of | his death with genuine grief. Young Sechrest at one time at- tended the local schools and since his parents moved to New Britain he fre- | quently visited here, making many | friends among the people of the town. | He was a nephew of John E. Lamb. His funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 from his home and the remains will be brought here for interment in West cemetery. Novelty in Church Service. Members of the Raptist church had the pleasure of attending a nov- el service in the church last evening when Rev. J. Smith of Ragoon, Burma, appeared before them to give a sermon in the interests of mis- sionary work in that country. Mr. Smith’s tall, which was descriptive of the country and its people as well as the efforts that are being made to Christianize the inhabitants, was most interesting.
