At the request World he prepared the following statement, showing the situation: “So far L judge from the latest official figures of exports of foodstuffs the sudden increase in price which we have noted within the past few weeks can scarcely be due to an increase in exports which, as I under- of the New York s can foodstuffs | | out bank, | | large stand, is the chief argument made to sustain the very recent increase in prices. “In a food very ticle large proportion of . exported the movemer of the country in September and in the nine months ending with Sep- tember are less than those of the cor- responding periods of last year, so far as relates to quantity. True, there are some exceptions to this, but in proportion of the articles ix question the exports of September of this year and of the nine months end- ing with September are less than those of last vear. As I understand the present situation the sudden advance which has been made within the pa few weeks in many articles is based upon the assertion that there is now a very large increase of exports over the corresponding period of last yea and hence the necessity for the sud- den increase of prices at the present moment.” | The following figures of exports are from the foreign trade department of the National City bank for September, !

J. Dunlay & Co. undertaking rooms. Plainville disclaimed responsibility because Kel- ley had not established a legal set- tlement in that town, and A. J. Hart, superintendent of the local charity department, makes the same claim for New Britain. The facts of the case as set forth by Superintendent Hart are that Kel- ley, who came to Plainville about two weeks ago, is believed not to have been in Connecticut long. How- ever, he was employed in the Plain- ville freight vards and lived there. Last TFriday night he came to this city with some companions and was killed while returning home. Mr. Hart notified First Selectman John- son, but he declined to act because of the aforementioned reason State Will Pay Bill. As explained by Mr. Hart, neither the body | has | Of an immediate and amicable settle- to bear neral, the expense of Kelley's fu- but the considerable clarical work connected with the case, he thinks, should be done in Plainville, inasmuch as he lived the The pro- cedure under the pauper law of 1907, Mr. Hart explains, would be to find out all possible regarding Kelley and then submit the facts to the state comptroller, showing that he had not established a settlement in the town. The state would then reimburse the. town for the expenses connected with the burial. Mr. Hart states that Se- leeman Johnson could easily do the investigating in Plainville, while if New Britain has to do it the city will have to stand the expense of sending a man there especially to’make the necessary inquiries. Under the 1907 pauper law a man must live in one town in Connecticut, |iom cror o Ereiies i e TG | there for four years during which time he is self supporting and receives aid from public charities before he has established a residence that holds no the town to pay any expenses, accord- ing to Mr. Hart’'s interpretation of ! the law. Thus, it would appear that neither of the two places at odds over this case would stand to lose, vet the little work connected with making the proper report seems to be in the w ment. “Superintendent Hart states that this a short time that Plainville has tried to avoid doing what he believes to be its duty. Not long ago itinerant freight handler from Plainville came to this city one evening. He was ejected from a Main street saloon and he fell, being injured. The police took him to the hospital and the hospital au- thorities sent the bill to the local charity department. Mr. Hart advised the hospital officials to send the bill to the Plainville authorities, but Se- lectman Johnson refused to accept it. The two cases are identical, Mr. Hart states, except that in one the state will is the second instance within an BRITAIN SEEKING {High Class Collateral to Be | of the have to pay a hospital bill for a per- | son not having a legal settlement, and | visited the troops on the line of that‘xe\v Britain nor Plainville would have ' in the other it is a funeral bill. §20,000,000 LOAN Offered for Cash New York, Dec. 19.—Great Britain preparing to float another large se- cured loan 0,000,000 or more—in the United States, according to in- formation obtained on high banking Columbia Grafonolas and Double-Disc Records Will There Be a Grafonola in Your Home This olflmbia s 2 J fif Note™ Model 50 $50.00 Cabinet in Oak, Mahogany or Early English Finish Model 35 $35.00 Cabinet in Oak or Mahogany Finish Model 75 $75.00 There is a world of entertainment in a Grafonola.
