Takio, Sept. 5, (By the Associated Press.)—Discussion by the Japanese press of the action of the United States senate foreign relations committee relative to the Shantung provision ot | the peace treaty reflects that an un- pleasant impression has been caused in Japan. Newspapers say that ‘“‘con- sidering Japan's repeated assurances that Shantung is to be returned to China the committee’s attitude is un- necessarily insuiting and provocative.” for | PLAINVILLE NEW. ELECTION TIME 13 § INTERESTING TOWN “Ifet”Interests Not Satistied That | Nation Is “Dry” MAY VOTE ON QUESTION Mrs, Sarah Allen Dies at Age of 89— Local Teams Win and Lose—Other Interesting Items of News. Town Clerk Robert C. Usher re- ceived a number of election this morning which were sent H: ford for use in the town election on the first Tuesday of October. These forms have not been used for the past ars as the voting machines have taken their place and it is likely that the machines wiil be used again next month, The close proximity of the annual election brings with the question of license which has agitated the town at elections for a number of years. One or two former liquor deale tarted the agitation for a petition about two weeks ago and a rumor was circulated at that time that a concerted effort would be made to return the town to the ranks of the “wets.” As far as could be ascertained this orning the petition has not yet been circulated and it appears that the men who once worked the hardest to swing the town into the license column are taking lit- tle interest in the question. The few tho are working for this end at the pr nt time seem to have little doubt but that the town would go “wet,” fecling that they will receive support from a majority of the voter: There is a condition that seems to bear out this belief to which people who were in the center on Saturday and Sunday nights can testify. By- standers could not help seeing and hearing the crowd of inebriates at what was formerly known as ‘‘Mur- phy’s A number of the “sou ve musical aspi 5 on Saturday ev ngs they the corner after imbibing liberal pota- tions of “‘red-eve” and proceed to en- tertain the crowds who wait there for the Connecticut company’s cars.

They frequently take offense at flections which are cast on their abi ity and intervention by their friends is necessary to prevent their engaging in battle. Although these young men may be expected to support a petition for license, it is very evident that tho so-called dry spell is not wo ing them and that they do not suffer from thirst. corner.” vident Mrs. rah Allen. Mrs. Sarah Allen died Saturday night at 11:30 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jennie Johnson. of Whiting street. She was 89 vears old and was one of the oldest residents of the town. She was ill for nearly a vear and has been confined to her bed for three months. Besides her daugh- ter she leaves a son, Chester, of Waterbury, and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
