Men in Service The monthly meeting of the Uni- versal club of the Landers Frary & Clark company was held last night. Plans were made for the fall outing down the Connecticut river. Al- though in a measure a social organ- ization the club has been organized for the purpose of keeping in touch with and assisting in every way pos- sible those employes of the company who have gone into service under the colors. The object of the club is primarily patriotic. Sixteen members of the office. force of the factory are already in service and there are many more throughout the factory. It is the aim of the club to keep in touch with all. of the boys in service, whether in this country or abroad, by writing to them, sending them read- ing material and comforts of various sorts. Four letters from soldier and sailor boys were read at the meeting last night. One from Private Murphy of the 64th U. S. A. Infantry at pres- ent in Texas, one from James P. Rogers in the Reserve Officers train- ing camp at Plattsburg, N. Y., and two from Fred Andres and Carl Eck- berg in the Naval Reserve, stationed at New Haven. President Charles F. Smith is much interested in the club to which any one in the| factory is eligible for membership. There are 91 members In the club already and the roll is fast being enlarged. The big object of the club is to stand behind the boys in uniform whether in tralning or at the front and there fs enough enthusiasm in evidence to guarantee the carrying through of the proposed plans. TWO SUITS HIS Joseph E. Howard, Actor, Has Debts of $127,238. New York, Auz. 8—One sult of clothes for the Broadway boardwalk and a trick suit of evening attire, much worn, is all that Thespian ways have left to Joseph E. Howard, vaude- ville singer, song writer and one-time producer of musical comedy, according to his petition in bankruptcy, which he filed yesterday in the United States court. His liabilities, most of which were contracted several years ago, he places at $127,238, distributed among 160 creditors. i Fully half of the creditors are wom- en of the stage, including chorus girls. These are remembered for wages due and also for small loans, of which Mr. Howard evidently kept careful note, lest the proverbial generosity. of the chorus girl should go entirely unre- membered. The largest creditor is Mrs. Flora Stern, for $12,000. Mrs. Stern, who lived at the Woodstock Hotel, is now in California. The sum was said to be money advanced to Mr. Howard for his theatrical enterprises. Debts due women of the stage run as small as $5. Mr. Howard owes the Messrs. Shubert $5,000 for alleged breach of contract; Selwyn & Co., $4,406; Miss Mabel McKame, his one-time partner in vaudeville and member of a promi- nent St. Louls family, $5,000, and Miss Emmo Carus, singer, $385. Mr. Howard, who lives at 204 West 108th street, was seen much on the stage with the late Miss Mabel Barri- son, who was his third wife. His creditors have been notified to present their clalms to Willlam H. Willls, ref- eree in bankruptcy. Beyond two suits of clothes there were no assets men- tioned. 25,000 MINERS TO STRIKE. Coal Production in Kentucky and Tennessee Will Be Crippled. Lexington, Ky., Aug. 8.—Reports today from Pineville state that the strike among the miners of south- eastern Kentucky and northeastern Tennessee is rapidly growing and that after fruitless efforts to induce the operators to enter negotiations dis- trict number 19, United Mine Work- ers of America, voted to strike. If the order is fully adhered to 25,000 men will be on strike throughout the district by Saturday night. It was also stated that the large mine operators say they will shut down their plants rather than recog- TRAFFIC SIGNS IN | BASEBALL PRACTICE But Base Runners Are Undecided Whether to “Stop” or “Go” New Britain is going to have a real baseball team very very soomn. Some people have been bewailing the lack of a fast ball team since the professionals moved out of town. Now there is going to be plenty of fast ball for the New Britain policemen ed to make up the defci- sce about 20 stalwart guardians of the peace practicing or rather learning baseball yesterday afternoon at Walnut Hill park was enough to bring inspiration to any ! poet, to cry “O what men dare do! what men may do! do, not knowing what they do The policemen must be given due credit for their talent however. They swung .their clubs with considerable grace and ease. They ran the bases with speed. But one of the .main faults with the nine was the coach- ing system. At the first and third base coaching lines Officers J. J. King what men daily e and Clearance Lamphere stationed with the new traffic signs labelled “Go” and ‘“Stop”’. When a runner reached first and the signal came to steal the traffice cop turned the sign to go and the base runner immediate- ly went. But when the ball reached the second baseman before the runner reached the bag the coacher swiched the sign back fo “Stop” and the runner stood still on the base line and was usually tagged out. Due to the failure of this system of coach- ing a new plan will be instituted at the next practice. For the individual honors of the afternoon there were many aspirants. First thete were the two Dbatteries. Sergeant Hart and Neil Cully worked well for the ‘‘Scrubs” and “Dick” Dart, Captain Porter and *“Tom"” Storey slaved for the ‘‘Washers”. In the outfield it is difficult to say which player was the worst. The outfielders complained that the flies bothered them and the other players declare that is true to say the least. Officer Frank Hahn drove a terrific drive in the fifth, and tore around the bases till all the crowd began to howl O, Mr. Hahn you've made foul” but Frank didn't believe them, he wouldn’t believe them, and he stayed anchored on third base which he reached with great dffficulty. The next practice of the blue coats will not be announced. It is going to be secret practice behind closed gates. This is the best plan for any police baseball team as can be readi- 1y seen. WANT ALL COAL SEIZED Illinois State Council of Defense Fav- ors confiscation By Federal Govern- ment—Executves Anxious to Meet. Chicago, Aug. 8.—Practically all of the governors of sixteen states from Pennsylvania to Kansas, had respond- ed favorably today to an invitation extended yesterday by the Illinois Council of Defense, to attend a con- ference in Chicago on August 16 for the purpose of bringing about a uni- form regulation of the price of coal. While the State Council of Defense recommended to Governor Lowden seizure of coal mines in Illinois for the period of the war as a means of reducing prices, the hope was ex- pressed that.the states of the central west will join in urging congress to enact a law that will confer full pow- ers of control over coal prices and distribution in an administrative body of the federal government, which would have machinery to give Instant relief. g “Coal mine owners do not dispute the right of the state to seize the mines,” id Herbert H. Taylor, of the Taylor Coal company, and mem- ber of the operators’ committee meet- ing with the council. “We claim, however, that the council had not as- certained conditions in the coal in- dustry and its recommendations are not thorough enough.” INSTRUCTIONS ON APPEALS Judge Cooptr and Judge Gaffney Ap- pointed by Gov. Holcomb to Handle Claims in This City. Judge James E. Cooper and Judge B, ¥. Gaffney have received instruc- tion from Governor Holcomb as to their duties in handling unjust exemp- tion claims. Judge Cooper has been designated .to look after the claims of local board No. 1. and Judge Gaffney has Dbeen appointed to handle the claims for exemption of local board No. 2. Following the rules and regu- lations prescribed by the president for the local and district boards, Provost Marshal General Crowder has author- ized through the recommendation of Governor Holcomb the two local men to take appeals from the local boards to district boards where certificates of discharge have been granted. The sccond purpose of the appoint- ment of the local men is ‘“to have some person within the jurisdiction of each local board to whom information may be brought by any person who has knowledge of an attempt to im- properly secure exemption or dis- charge.” The performance of the duties out- lined in the rules and regulations pre- scribed by the president will be un- dertaken at once by Judge Cooper and nize the union mine workers and claim that the miners now receive the highest wages in the history of this fleld. The miners demand union recogni- tion and wage adjustment. l Buy an Indiana truck.—advt. Judge Gaftney. The Rartlett school playground baseball team defeated the Smith school team yvesterday 11-2.

Editor of The Herald.) Yesterday afternoon a resident of this city came into the Herald office with a clipping which was taken from a Stamford paper. The article showed that one Leon F. Nafey has enlisted in the military after being rejected twice for minor physicai dis- abilities. The young man, who is the son of George H. Natey of Stamford was born and spent his boyhood in New Britain although having lived In the former city for several years. It is a known fact that a large number of local boys oered their ser- vices in other cities and that their enlistments were not accredited as coming from New Britain. This is only another example which adds to the above statement. Through the campaign which the Herald is waging such disclosures are made daily. In- cidentally the returns bring back memories of boys who were almost forgotten but were once well known here. Nafey is a member of the 2éth com- pany, hospital corps, U. S. A. sta- tioned at Columbus barracks. Ie is only nineteen years of age, was re- jected twice when he attempted to join the army for physical reasons. Determined to serve his country he tried again, meeting With success on the third attempt. Mr. and Mrs. Nafey are proud to have a boy in the army and still more proud to have one who showed =0 much perseverance in his efforts to be a soldier. DIlanks are steadily pouring in and if the same amount of enthusiasm which has been hertofore manifested continues, the *“honor roll” will be completed shortly.

Petrograd, Aug. 7.—The first meet- ing of the new government was held today. Premier Kerensky, who pre- sided, said the cabinet must concen- trate all its attention on national de- fense and organization of the country, principally in connection with the fi- nancial economic situation.

Haywood Says Sentiment for Organized Walkout Grows—“Ruling Classes” in Montana Receive Threat. Chicago, Aug. 8.—Sentiment for a general strike of all members of the 2 1. W. W. is growing, according to W. D. Haywood, general secretary and treasurer of that organization. He stated today that he had received tel- egrams from all parts of the country endorsing a general strike for the lynching of Frank H. Little. Haywood said that more than 75,- 000 men are out now. A general strike, he said, could be accomplished only by individual action of I. W. W. branches. Helena, Mont., Aug. 8.—“Deadly re- sults to the ruling classes,” are threatened in telegrams received last night by Governor Stewart from east- ern locals of the I. W. W. should other members of the order be lynched. The threats are an outcome of the lynching at Butte last week of Frank H. Little, an organizer and leader of the organization.

Major Goldthwait had been in Eng- land, chiefly in London and other big cities where there are base hospitals, instructing younger surgeons in treat- ing injured bones. “This is the science of orthro- paedics he said, “and aims at correct- ing the defects or injuries of the bones. The word comes from two Greek words ‘orthos’ (straight) and ‘pais’ (a boy); but it refers to ‘straight’ boys.” In former wars, it was believed to be enough to save a wounded man's life; modern orthopaedics, however, aims at a more ideal treatment. “It aims at restoring a man to so complete a state of wholeness his wounds are soon virtually forgotten and he goes to the front again almost as hale as before. ‘When the younger surgeong considered competent to apply what they have been taught at the base hospitals, they are sent to the first line trenches in France. Unless a surgeon restores the complete use of the limbs to a wounded soldier, he is not regarded as having accomplished are anything worth taking -credit for, even ' Japanese parliament. though he saves the man’s life under what would, ordinarily, be considered the most hopeless circumstances,” said Major Goldthwait.

Mr. McCormack said that on the eastward voyage a U-boat chased their vessel, but desisted when the stern guns were swiveled to take aim. ‘““The U-boat then submerged,” he said, “and two hours later we passed three destroyers going out, it seemed to search for that particular U-boat.
