LOVE’S DREAM ENDS WHEN LAWS STEP IN English Girl Who Jilted Canadian Must Return Without Any Husband At AlL New York, June 23.—Exercise of woman’s right to change her mind today resulted in Miss Nell Butler being ordered back to England hus- bandless after she had crossed the Atlantic to wed. She had set sail for Halifax to marry a Canadian army officer she had met during the war but a three days courtship of Captain Paul Miller of the British army, a fellow passenger resulted in her switching her choice of husbands before reaching port But Halifax immigration officials said no; she must marry the Canadian who had paid her passagt or she must sail on. So she sailed on to New York, with Captain- Miller hastening here by rail Vainly he pleaded at Ellis Island for her release—at least a temporary, re- lease, in order for him to marry her. But a special board of inquiry de- cided that if she was not to be ad- mitted to Canada, she was not to admitted to the United States. 'R. R. LABOR BOARD IS URGED TO SPEED UP.

Reports to labor headquarters here today pointed to increased unrest among the men. Labor leaders said that since the beginning of the wun- authorized strike thirty thousand men have been dismissed from the unions, but that the feeling was growing that to continue disciplining the men was impracticable.

The annual graduation exercises of the New Britain High school will be held Friday morning in the Lyceum theater when the Class of 1920 will receive diplomas in recognition of the successful completion of four years at the local institution of learnins. The class this vear is an extra large one, numbering 225, of whom 134 are young women and 91 young men. Honors in scholarghip are awarded | to those who maintafin an average of 85 per cent. in their studies for the | four years, as well as for completing | subjects with at least 76 credits. There were eight members of the class who attained these honors. They are: Bernard Menas Chernoff, Harriet Esther Flagg. KElsie Romenia Haus- mann, Julia Duhring Mann, Howard Hooker Mitchell, Harry Leo Nair, \I:)‘hc\ Lydia Pihl and Bernadine Eleanor Walker. Due to the fact that no appropria- available for rental of a large auditorium for the exercises, the Lyceum theater is being used for the first time for a graduation. The theater is somewhat smaller than ' needed and for this reason the grad- uates are receiving but two tickets each for the exercises. The upper balcony will be used and each grad- uate will receive one ticket for this section. The program of graduation is shorter than in former vears. Speak- ing by members of the graduating class has been done away with. In former years three or four graduates A number of also were rendered. This year the only speaking will be done by George Herbert Shafer, principal of the Wil- Jimantic Normal school, who will pre- sent the diplomas and address the sgraduates.

BRYAN THINKS WILSO IS NOW DOWN AND OUT Discounts McAdoo, Hoover And Palmer As Likely Lincoln, Neb., June 23.—Discussing possible democratic candidates for the presidency William J. Bryan, in an article in his newspaper, the Com- moner, declares that William G. McAdoo is handicapped as a candi- date “by his close relationship with the president,” while President Wil- son himself, he says, “need be " considered.” He says McAdoo is also handi- capped by “his silence on the peace treaty,” that he is unable to call to his support ‘‘those to whom the presi- dent’s candidacy appealed with special force,” and that he would “furnish an easy mark for all of the president’s enemies.” Referring Bryan says: “While vague hints and suggestions have been thrown out occasionally, no one claiming to speak for the president or near enough to him to be assumed to express his wishes, has announced his candidacy.” Herbert Hoover is eliminated from the list of candidates whom Bryan considers available, while Senator Owen of Oklahoma and Secretary of Agriculture Meredith are described as being “among the few available men thus far mentioned.” To be avail- able this year, Bryan asserts, a can- didate must be known to be for woman sufffage, for prohibition and against Wall street. As to Attorney General Palmer, Bryan says he entered the campaign in a position to ‘‘deal sternly with the profiteer and an expectant public stood ready to applaud, but the profiteer seems to have things all his own way and the attorney general is !now suffering from the reaction. { He adds that the attorney general is "‘unlortunale. too, in having to espouse the ratification of the treaty without reservations.” Former Speaker Champ Cla mentioned W s | behind , wa! opposibn to Governor ¢dwards of New Jersey and (‘-m ernor Cox of Ohio, is reiterated. Governor Cox's friends,” the ar- declares, “will urge him as a ompromise between the wets of the 'wards type and the bone drys.” “Judge Gerard's candidacy uth Dakota’s support and he has many personal friends among other delegates,” Mr. Bryan says. * INJURED IN CAVE-IN Bridgeport Plumber Partially Buried not to President Wilson, for Several Hours While Ambulance Waits Nearby.
