That the advocates of license do not propose to sit idly by while the prohibition force is making its drive to send Plainville into the no-license column is the claim of several who are opposed to discontinuing the legal sale of intoxicating beverages here and who take issue with the state- ment of Barleycorn's enemies that a victory for the cause of temperance at the October election ig a foregone conclusion. While little, if any, actual work has been done by the saloonkeepers and their supporter§ to keep the town “wet” it is expected that they will soon begin to line up their forces to resist the invasion of the prohibi- tion army, which, according to its leaders, is now recruited to full war strength. The local “dry” are to have the support this year of Bristol and Terryville workers as the rep- resentatives of the cause have banded together to close the saloons in the entire section, making a concentrated effort in each place. Although the “drys” claim a vic- tory by a majority of over fifty even at this stage of the campaign, ob- servers not particularly interested in the outcome, figure that this year the soldier vote will play an important part in the outcome. Plainville at present has nearly fifty men in the service of Uncle Sam, a fair propor- tion of which are voters. Nearly as many more will probably be in camp by October and it is evident that the boys in khaki will hold the balance of power, providing they are permit- ted to return home to cast a ballot. The voting machine will be used for the first time at’ a town elecion this year and the temwperance workers claims it will serve to the advantage. Daniels Child Dead. Sterling Duane Daniels,. the two year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Duane M. Daniels, died this morning at his home on Broad street, following an illness of several days. The child had been suffering from intestinal trouble and had been in a critical condition for some time. The funeral will be held tomolrow afternoon. Services will be conduct- ed at the Daniels home on Broad street, Rev. J. W. Denton, pastor of the Advent Christian church, officiat- ing. Interment will be in West cem- etery, Bristol. Out With Challange. Flavy Benjamin, known, in the ath- letic world as Kid Benjamin, is seeking a wrestling match with Al- bert Ventrees, the Berlin blacksmith, and is anxious to meet him at any weight or under any conditions. Young Benjamin lived in Plainville a number of years ago. Until re- cently he has been in Chicago where he has figured in over sixty wrestling bouts. He has been recognized by some sporting authorities as the 135 champion of the country. The young man is back in Plain- ville and is employed at the Trumbull Electric company’s factory. He hopes to give a few exhibitions of wrestling and he is very anxious to try his mettle with Ventrees, who claims the New England championship at 150 pounds. Benjamin sent the Berlin man a challenge, he says, six weeks ago, but didn’t receive a reply to his letter. Returns to Work. Miss Margaret Farrar of North ‘Washington street, has resumed her duties as stenographer and book- keeper at Cooke's garage, having fully recovered from the bullet wounds received when she was at- tacked by James French, also em- ployed at the garage a few months ago. French remains in the Hartford jail in default of $10,000 bail. He will be tried at the September term of the Superior court on the charge of at- tempted murder, the police claiming that he confessed his intention of killing the young woman. Hydrant Installed. The water company has completed the installaton of a fire hydrant on the property now being developed by the Plainville Realty company in the eastern section of the town. An. other hydrant will be put in posi- tion in the fall. The Realty company will soon have sixteen tenements ready for occu- pancy. - Some of the buildings, the erection of which the company started last fall, are now tenanted while others are well advanced to- wards completion. The company will erect a dozen houses in all for the year, building others later if con- ditions warrant. The activities of the Marlin Rock- well company and the big increase in the business of other manufacturers in addition to the extension of the railroad business here indicates that Plainville’s population will show a big gain during the next few years and it will be necessary to provide many extra houses to accommodate the families of the men who will come here from out-of-town to seek em- ployment. There are comparatively few va- Lespieault, BordeauX, Giroude, France.

The report covers more than one hundred pages and it is the longest document ever filed here to be recorded. At the Hartford hospital today it was reported that Leland Hart, who is receiving trsatment for blood poisoning, will not be able to return to his home for another week. It was expected he would leave the in- stitution today but the doctors did not believe his condition warranted the change.

The house is prepared to vote with- out delay whatever is recommended by the ways and means committee, members of which have eliminated partisanship entirely from their de- liberations, While there may be an objection here and there to the enormous bond issues proposed by the secretary of the treasury, these will be individual objections which will not be of much avail, { Indications were that congress, to- gether with Secretary McAdoo, will have to determine on a definite ratio between the money to be raised by taxation and the money to be raised by bonds. When the revenue bill was | first submitted it was figured that the | cost of war for the first year would be less than half what it probably will cost. On this basis the treasury de- partment determined that $1,800,000,- 000 would be a sufficient amount to raise by taxation. This estimate it has since increased, but it is becoming more apparent every day that the proportion of money raised by taxa- tion to that to be raised by bonds is entirely too small. As a matter of fact, the treasury de- | partment and the two committees of congress have had no fixed rule of taxes to bonds. The treasury depart- | ment has been reporting bond bills and the revenue bill in a haphazard disregard for anything except the fact that the money had to be raised. The question of the proportion of the bur- den of the war which this generation should bear to that which coming generations should assume has been discussed only in a general way. May Follow McAdoo’s Advice. Chairman Kitchin indicated before he left Washington that some definite conclusion would have to be reached on this subject. Since the question is a complex one and is more likely of solution by persons who are students of finance and money conditions, it is probable’ that the two committees of Congress will follow the recommenda- tlons of the treasury department. It has been suggested that a com- mittee of bankers meet with the fed- eral reserve board to attempt ta map out some definite financial policy. So far, such a suggestion apparently has proved unpopular with Secretary Mc- Adoo. The ways and means committee will meet August 25 to consider the ques- tion of raising part of the $9,000,000,- 000 asked by the administration. It is expected that a bond issue of between $3,000,000,000 and $4,000,000,000 and authorization of an additional $500,- 000,000 in taxes to be added to the war revenue bill now pending in the Senate will be proposed. The remainder of the $9,000,000,060 will not be author- ized, according to present plans, until the regular session of Congress, begin- ning in December.

Ten thousand copies of a set of questions have been sent broadcast, with a re- quest that the recipients vote “Yes” or “No” on an inclosed ballot. “On May 18,” naire, ‘‘conscription became a law of the land.
