At 4 o’clock this afternoon Louis W. Bruemmer and Miss Edith M. Powell were married at Trinity Methodist Eplscopal church by Rev. Warren F. Cook, the pastor. The wedding was largely attended by many frlends and relatives of the contracting parties. The bride was glven in marriage by her brother, Harry Powell, and was attended by her sister, Miss Clara Powell as bridesmaid. Clair Upson was best man and the ushers were Arthur H. Parker and Henry Schwab. The wedding march, played as the bridal party entered the church, was rendered by Oliver H. Nichols. The bride was prettily gowned in a dress of white crepe de chine trimmed with lace. Her vell was trimmed with orange blossoms. An unusual feature of this wedding was that the lace on the bride’s gown was the same that her mother wore at her own wedding and the dress worn by the bridesmaid was her mother's wedding gown. It is of cream of satin draped with pale green net. After the wedding Mr. and Mrs. Bruemmer left on a wedding trip, after which they will reside at 220 Maple street. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bruemmer are well known young people and both have been prominently identified in church work. Mr. Bruemmer is presi- dent of the New Britain Christian En- deavor unfon and is also the head of the Burritt mission. SAVINGS BANK STATEMENT.

Nogales, Arizona, July have before stated, so will I state again. There is something wrong with the mails and we have not been getting our letters from home as fre- we should. However, a bundle of letters from old New Brit just arrived and has put me at ease regarding the possibilities of a sus- pension in the mail service. Now, that I have assurance that mail is com- ing through, I'll again straddle an empty hardtack box and proceed to exercise the vaccination. I have just collected a variety of material from the boys on the street and this I will proceed to inflict upon the good na- ture of the folks back home. Prefer “Eats” to Poems.

Everything connected with the scr- vice here is most novel, not in the least excepting the church service on Sunday. The men still keep their good health and there is but littie complaining. Company I boasts of the best hospital record of either of the two Connecticut regiments here. We have only had three men on the sick list thus far. This is considered a very good record by the surgeon, par- ticularly when our long trip, the change in climate and water and other things are remembered. Private Crow- ley Is at present on the sick list. He is suffering from a sore toe that effect- ually keeps him out of any of the foot races. Privates Boyd and Parkington are not feeling well, not having be- come fully acclimated as yet. These are the extent of the ailments in Com- pany I. Our good physical condition can be traced to the excellent advice glven us by Captain Ladbury and the judgment he uses in working his men. There still remains quite a iittle difference between us militiamen and the regulars of the Twelfth Regiment. The regular army officers are giving us daily talks that help a lot towards getting us acquainted -with military cthics in the shortest possible time. Wanted—Sult For Pickup. Up to now we have had to wear our heavyweight uniforms, but fortun- ately the lightweight uniforms will soon arrive and that will help a lot. Pickup has been anxiously watching for this announcement because thus far we have not been able to locate a uniform that would fit his massive bulk. He has had to use a needle and thread almost continuously every since we left New Britain and he is really quite an expert seamster now. Any New Britain tailor seeking a first class assistant had bet take note. Eddie Ogren ha just received the initial Stanley Works' bulletin which gives former emploves at that con- cern the kind of information they like to receive. Eddie asks that the home folks send him some ‘“roseberries.” This is an expression of his own and we think he means dried apricots. Yew quarters have usjt been com- pleted for Cook Tom Dyson and all the boys helped. They like to keep on the right side of the cook. 'To- day the men have been spending their time making mud floors for iheir tents. Mud here is very sticky and is the only kind of cement that the Mex- icans use in making their little adobe hovels.

Nogales, Arizona, is some town. It is a regular town. It sports two mov- ing picture shows, so what more is needed to make it regular? The shows however, are not on a par with Fox's or Keeneys, or even the Scenic. Every- thing is given in the open air and be- fore a very mixed audience consist- ing of “Grease: Chinamen, Japs, negroes and Americans. The movie screen is so situated that a bunch of Mexican children climb to the top of their huts and watch the show free. Makes some of us think of the davs of yore, when we were wont to sneak into baseball games at Electric fleld. Bricre To Lose Job. Private Henry Briere is one of the busiest men in camp. He is kept busy at his trade all day long. It has so happened that Henry is the only en- listed man in the regiment who Is a regulation barber and he is certatuly an handy man. However, we just re- celved a telegram stating that Traut & Hine was sending us 300 safe ors. With this information Rricre's stock has dropped several points. “Someone is always taking the Joy out of life,” says Henry.

Jn a wrestling tournament Spillar contin- ues to hold his own against all com- ers. His one fear, however, is that Pickup will challenge him and then sit on him. In case anyone don't know Spillar—he is no less than five feet tall. Pickup, by the way, is not much over six feet tall and is built along the graceful lines of an Alco truck. Last night a special race vas taged between Private Roberts and rgeant Chamberlain. had partaken of a hearty supper and the race proved disastrous for nim. Members of Company H had their typhoid inoculation (July 9) and some of them are pret- ty dopey today because they very fool- | ishly disobeyed the advice given them and exercised freely immediately aft- er being vaccinated. The regular army men here are taking a great lik- ing to the Connecticut men and we stand as high as any militiamen. Company I Does Outpost Duty. Last night there was a vaudeviile show in town and some of the volunteered to put on an act of their own. A quartet from the Conne cut and Celifornia troops performed. Notice I say “‘performed,” rather than sang.” Another member of our bat- talicn gave a roller skating ex tion and it was truly an ‘“‘exhib This morning someone corraled & cow pony and Captain Ladbury some bronco busting antics. Y day morning Captain Ladbur shalled the men of Company T tozeth- er and took us for a long hike into the hills around the camp. We marched as far as the Mexican border until we were brought face to face with the Mexican sentries. This is only one of the several trips we have cen and they are proving the ing us in condition for forced marches, as well as malking us more or less familiar with the country. Tonight (July 10) Company I will Go gunard duty again, so the rest of the regiment will sleep in peace. We get our first taste of outpost duty. In this line of work we have to go away out from camp and guard every approach, permitting no one to pass without credentials. It is a rather ticklish job, or would be if there was any real danger of an attack. As it is, nons of the boys feel very sleepy while on duty. boy State Lax in Pay. Thers is one condition here that could have been avolded, had proper attention been given to the matter. The majority of the men left Niantic with little or no money in their pnck- ets, mainly because they had families or dependents to whom they gave their last cent before starting. Today we get the cheerful (?) news that it will be at least three weeks more be- fore we can get the ten days’ pay due us from the state of Connecticut. This hits many of the men very hard and is really working an injustice on them, especially since they cannot help but worry about those they left at home. Among other things, cards games are all the rage here. “Rummy” is the most popular pastime. There is a stray bull that roams into camp cc- casionally. It must be about 109 vears old for it is not at all vicions and Buglers Anderson and Bigge have had some fun by pestering the old brute. Recently, however, they got theirs for the old beast draggzed one of them around the camp as he clung to its taii. First Sergeant Duffy is mads the target of many questicns.

POLICE COURT TODAY Shot Neighbor Will Be Tried in Two Man Who Accidentally His Weeks—Other Cases. The cast against John Kozgatha, charged with John Pasie and with discharging firearms with- out a permit, continued for two weeks in police court today. On the third of July Kozgatha accidentally discharged a revolver at his home on Broad street and the bullet across the and struck Pasie, of Booth street. Pasie is still at the hospital, but will soon be able to be out. The assault charge is pure- 1y technical and Kozgatha pleads guil- ty to the second count. M. D. Saxe represents the accused. Anton Bodziak of 67 Sexton street was fined $5 without costs by Judge Meskill for violating a health ordin- ance. Dr. T. Eben Reeks, superin- tendent of health, testified that od- iak has neglected to keep a cesspool in his yard clean. The accussed promised to improve the unsanitary conditions. John Johnson pleaded guilty to a non-support charge. His wife testi- fied that he is drinking hard and has not been contributing to her support.

Former President Being Seriously Considered for Seat in Senate Washington, July 15.—One hears a good bit of gossip at the i capital about the senatorial situation | in Connecticut. The recent report that former President Taft may be brought forward as a candidate for United States senator this year in Connecticut is attracting attention and ! discussion in Washington. Well informed Connecticut repub- | licans now here admit frankly that | (helr party would have great difficulty carrying the state for its senatorial candidate unless the latter is one of | two men, namely, Senator George P. | McLean or former President Willlam | Howard Taft. Republicans say that | Homer S. Cummings, the prospective democratic candidate for senator will be elected unless one of these two republicans is nominated, and they are not sure that Cummings will not | make a strong race even against them. Democrats say that Cummings can defeat Taft or McLean or anybody else. Friends of both Taft and McLean say they do not think the former will run for the senate against McLPz\n.i They believe, however, that if Me- | Lean should withdraw and retire Taft ' would be willing to be “drafted” for the senate. They say that the former president has a very consclentious idea about his duty to his party and his country and that he could be pre- vailed upon to re-enter politics, which he claims to have abandoned March 4, 1913. That Taft would get out a big re- publican vote and carry the state of Connecticut for the senatorial, ticket is the claim of Connecticut republi- cans. They basge it in part upon the fact that Taft is a Yale alumnus and a Yale professor and popular with Yale men everywhere. They say that practically all such men in Connec- ticut would line up behind the former president and do thelr best to “put | him over.” However, it is not known | that these prophets make full allow- ance for possible refusal of bull moosers in Connecticut to follow Col. Roosevelt into the republican camp. | While Taft has many friends in the state, it is pointed out that the bull moose party had no more earnest members anywhere than it did in Connecticut. i Another source of weakness for Taft, in the opinion of some Connec- ticut republicans here, is the fact that he has been a resident of the state only three years .and it is id that some old line republican leaders in Connecticut may not be satisfied if a comparative newcomer were to cap- ture the senatorial nomination prize. If Taft were nominated for the sen- ate the country might face the in- teresting possibility of two former presidents being members of the sen- ate, as there is a good deal of talk about Col. Roosevelt becoming the re- publican and progressive nominee for senator in New York state. The presence of these two ex-presidents in the senate. once such warm per- sonal and political friends, then such bitter enemies. in 1912 and since then, but now united once more in support- ing the candidacy of Charles E.

P. leaders of New York to stand for Roosevelt as a senatorial candidate to succeed. Senator O'Gor- man, a democrat? As to the first of these thoughts, Senator McLean has made no public statement so far as known as to his | plans in politics. One hears rumors that he may decide to retire this r, but inquiry among his friends forth the tin that he will prob- ably run azain. His friends say that he would not be a candidate for re- election if there was republican oppo- sition to his nomination. but they do not believe that there will be such to any substantial extent. Taft may be eliminated from consideration in con- | nection | fact. | extent is this true that | Lean and other members of congresgs with any possible plan republican opposition to McLean, it is said. McLean's friends, republicans democrats and progressives, say he is a great vote getter and would do as much as or more than any other republican candidate in Connecticut could do this year. He been & loyal and regular republican, but at the same time he has not antagonized the progressive vote. On the contrary, he has many friends in the bull moose ranks in Connecticut, including men like “Joe” Alsop, Fred Griffin, Cowles and others like relatives Roosevelt, Pinchot and Eno families. He is admitted also to have quite a number of friends and admirer§ among the ranks of the democrats. It is believed that McLean might roll up more votes than Taft. Hence it is that republicans are anxious to know what his intentions are. Some of them have urged him to stand again for senator; many of them, in Perhaps others who have been identified with the old party organization woull and that has more closely Connecticut { prefer to nominate Taft or somebod$* that he his else. In due time, it is believed Senator McLean will indicate that will be willing to run again if party wants him. However, his tempered- enthusiasm about serving in congress has been for some time the subject of reports and rumors from various quarters. Mrl McLean is said to personally his books, his country place and birds, fishing and nature more than he does Washington legislative, official and society life. There is no secret about that. Whenever he feels that he can, he runs out of town to spend a few days in the great outdoors close to nature. Before he was elected to congresg®” the custom as a general rule was for that body to be in session on the avers age five or six months out of each year. During the last five years, more or less, the length of time when thg national legislature is in herg has gradually increased. To such af§ Senator M session have had to spend most or all of the summer each year in Washington for some years past, except last year only, Whenever some of them compare the hot, muggy weather of the capital to that of New England and some other sections of the country they would just about as soon leave congress per- manently in order to get back hon for a good long stay. a Senator McLean has a beautiful place at Simsbury, which he has not been able to enjoy fully in the sum- mer until last vear. Though in good health, he is an enthusiast over hot weather. He is understood to be well fixed financially. He will be about 60 vears of age when his pre: ent term in the senate expires. He ha made his mark in the senate along certain lines, but he Is reported to feel at times that he would as happy probably in Connecticut he is in Washington However, that he will the senate at this time under present circumstances is doubted by those in touch with the situation. Few men, and probably he among them, like to quit the game of politi lative activity and public life. men in congress and cial here will tell you that. Some know they would better happier and wealthier and somewhere else engaged business or a professional they do not want to and will the game here. It has att some, its certain glamor holds the imazination of others. There is a fas- cination about being behind the scenes and watching the wheels of govern- ment go around and helping to form them, so to speak. Then some of these men do not want be- cause they are not quitters about anys+ thing. They will stay in the game 28 they would in some other line of ac- tivity until the finish. They do not want to have their places taken by somebody else even if it were a case of free will and not compulsion Connecticut people in Washington believe that Senator McLean's atti- tude is one of willingness, not anxiety, about the senatorial campaign.
