This ction against fraud in newspaper Sistribution figures to both national and NEW BRITAIN'S “FOURTH.” Probably the largest crowd in the Ristory of this city’'s Walnut Hill Park celebration of Independence Day gathered at the park last eve- ning*and watched the fireworks. Men, women and children enjoyed the goappy and beautitul exhibition and the police repori iittle trouble in pandling the vast multitude. Good ssture -prevailed and people seemed to sense the fact that the display was put on by those anxious only to help Sive them s pleasant evening on the spniversary of the day when = this country becime, officially, the best place inithe world in which to live. "' The city need not feel that the mén who contributed privately to the cost of entertaining the people of ‘the city, were displeased with the city amusement commission’s decision .mot to spend the city's money for .this purpose. The people who contributed to the "ecost of the display need not feel that the. city is displeased at their action. What was quite proper, and even fine, for the individual to do under the circumstances, might have been most unseemly for the city to do. Results count. And those results were most unquestionably good. Members of the Rotary club want- ed to have the display for the people. The men who contributed fell in with ‘the des. The people had s A‘:ull time. -~ The idea was conceived in altriusm and carried out in the same spirit. One would like to feel that this “sheeting of brilliant rockets into the air; that this celebration of the great ‘day. marks a Deginning to the end of “hard times.” . With the knowledge that the city has now money at its command yith wich to go on with city work which will assure jobs for a great number of men and with the knowledge that employers of labor have spoken more encouraging words, very hesitantly it is true, than in months, and with the remembrance that the natural growth of the coumtry, it nothing @lse, will demand more work to do the things absolutely necessary to .be done, perhaps we may all feel the Rope that this day will mark a de- eided beginning of a change for the Detter, is not ridiculous. And such is our prayer. THE FIGHT. While there has been a lapse of a . eouple of days since the affair down in the erstwhile little known Boyle's thirty acres in Jersey last Saturday when Mr. Dempsey, world champion of the squaréd circle met Monsieur Carpentier, aspirant to the same title, and meeting him knocked him cold, “the Herald feels that it is jusified in ¥ giving itself a figurative pat on the Back for the service it rendered to New Britain folks, many of them, in yeturning the verdict of the flashing #loves, first through the voice of our , sporting editor, afterwards through the medium of print. ' Devold ot gush, stripped of the pro- duct of the fertile brains of writers, paid to write lengthy sories an ade- ! quate description of the fight action ‘was. placed on the streets within a fow minutes after the game little Prenchman had taken the count of ten geconds. The Herald was off the press with the news of the fight, as far as the news was concerned, before the eontestants had left the ring. That . our efforts were appreciated may be garnered from one who saw the crowd fn front of the Herald office. Fully 3,500 men and boys and a few wom- on Hstened to the words that told the story of three and a fraction rounds of fighting. Many bought the papers “on the street soon afterwards to read them again, even though they were aware that a Herald would await them at home if they preferred to wait until they got there for the story. And this Was no extra edition of the Herald, it ‘went to press even earlier than the regular time. For fuller descriptions) for great enlargements upon minor details, for columns upon columns of stuff about the fight, it was neceasary to await the morning papers. But the fnews was in the evening editions. This follows in many events of the dey. Things that constitte news, things thet happen, usually take place in the time when humanity as a maass, is swake and about. Thus the evening gets the greater grist of actual although it is usually in con- densed form, nothing but the facts Welag given in a briet form which we _ #ve convinced the public is thoroughly “JEST RUMINATIN’" (Robert Russell.) Some people residin® New York town Plan spendin’ their summer right there; an’ no frown Is born by the prospect, for such-folk believe It’s such a good summer resort they wont’ leave. They think that pure iv'ry » must make up the dome O’ him who can't rest an’ have fun right at home. My pipe, as it ruminates, thinks there is sense In what those chaps say—an not countin’ expense. It's splendid to get away jest for a spell; There!s splendor in havin’ your fun here, as well. It's not where you are that's the point—by a mile— The thing’s what you are that makes livin’ worth while. in gay This On Your Wise B i How is it possible to use the numbers 1 to 9 inclusive, once only, in a problem of addition to make them total 100? Answer to Saturday's: 61 silver! dollarg, 61 being the least common muitiple of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (60) plus 1. satisfied with. The morning paper fol- lows up with greater descriptions, greater enlargement of details per- taining to the same fact. Reporters on night assignments have more time in which to prepare stories upon events which have already been described and they have _no new events of equal importance to detract their attention. You will find, if you check carefully, that the great- er proportion of news is carried first in the evening papers even though the stories are briefer. Your morning paper enlarges upon the items which you have read the night before in a surprising number of instances. Such is the “time and human element” sit- uation in regards to morning and evening newspapers. —_— “N(\)l PRESENT.” Delegates from thirty-three nations of the world and invited delegates from interested organizations met last week under the auspices of the League of Nations In Geneva. The subject of their discussion was the control, looking to suppression, of traffic in women and children—white slavery. The United States was “Not Pres- ent.”” The United States had no pow- er to lift up its voice and cry out in denunciation of any ‘“‘regulation” that would do ought but stamp out for- ever, by the gradual stegs that must be taken, the most awful of crimes. Governor Lake, in a political speech here in this city before his election, denounced those who would join a league which contained an article (23) mentioning the “control”” of this terrible thing, recognized to exist, shuddered at by all decent men and women. i But how eager would man be to be placed in a position to represent his government in this matter, unclean though it is! How the stalwart, strong, clean-living American would strive to bring all his powers to bear, to set all his wisdom to work, to make a beginning &t least toward banishing from the avorld this awful monster whose shadow falls over all the girlhood, all the womanhood of the world. But the United States was Present.”” One strong, “Not upstanding man—an athlete of the Yale of twenty years ago—is there as representative of the United States Public Health associa- tion. But his hands are tied. He may not speak officially for this gov- ernment of ours. One who knowa the man intimately feels the torture that must be his in his inability to speak burning words for the land he loves ~—and for the childhood and woman- hood of the world, loved by all who are strong and clean of heart. The United States is “Not Presént.” NOW FOR RESULTS. Certainly there comes a feeling of re- lief this morning, the day after our celebration of the anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Inde- pendence by Congress, that the chance has come to make a great number of men in this city independent once more of the need of financial aid. Most of these men have not sought aid without giving their labor in re- turn. But they have sought in vain to a great extent. Today there are smiles upon the faces of those in charge of the municipal employment bureau. They have sat there at the table in the entrance to the office of the Mayor so long, able ogly to give out a few jobs at a time, that the prospect of soon being able to make many men happy with a ‘‘card,”” which assures them work, has brought sincere joy to them. s It is true that this morning only eight jobs were open. The city engineer has to continue his figuring and the board of public works has a lot of work to do before men in great numbers may be em- ployed. But the authorization of the issue of bonds, at the meeting of the City Meet- / ! By John LIGHTS AND SHADOWS J. Daly < Cne T el e Oh, you mustn't be a There's a fever that's a-ravin’ Oh, you mustn’t be a For you mustn’t be a ing Board last Friday night, brings the assurance that before many days there will be a great deal of work for the men. True, the city work for this week was assigned last Thursday, and only extra jobs will bring a chance for the many who apply early each morning. So local employers should continue to send word of work to be done. But the tangible, certain hope has come, and the applying men may be sent\ away with a definite promise upon which they may rely. The work that'is planned to be done is_so arranged that men out of work in this city will do it. : There will be provisos in every contract that local men shall be em- ployed—men whose names are regis- tered at the municipal employment bureau and have, perhaps, been so0 registered for a long time. | There is no question but that the great betterment of the unemploy- ment situation, promised if the money were forthcoming, will be seen shortly. And now that there is assurance that the city will have the money, the feel- ing of relief is universally expressed. MATH. One unfamliar with the procedure of the city in regard to letting con- tracts and other matters of impor- tance, might have come away from the meeting of the City . Meeting Board last Friday evening with the idea that, in the matter of the Com- fort Station, for instance, the board rather “went it blind” in ratifying the appropriation therefor, without having plans and other details be- fore it. The City Meeting Board is no place to discuss the details of such mat- ters. 2 The practical way in which the matter of the comfort station will be worked out is proof sufficient that such discussion at the meetings of the City Meeting Board is not only unnecessary and practically impos- sible, but also unwise. The City Plan Commission, a small body which will be able to decide matters in regard thereto much more intelligently, will tentatively decide upon the location. It, if any body of people in the city, should be best informed as to the best location for the comfort station after due con- sideration of the . viewpoints of everyone. The committee appointed by the Mayor to have charge of the bufld- ing of and matters pertaining to the comfort station will take up those matters. Then the Common Council, the body elected to run the affairs of the city—the .body which has far rhore important matters to decide at meet- ing after meeting, will have the final say in regard to contracts,®etc. Thus will all details be thorough- ly covered and dissatisfaction will be guarded against as surely as it is humanly possible to do so. “THAT BOW’S TOO LOW.” President Harding is said to have greeted the Information that Demp- sey had knocked out Carpentier, Sat- urday afternoon, with a brief “Was it a good fight?”” and immediately turned to something else. Which, it true, indicates to us that the Presi- dent is either an admirable actor or is losing his interest in matters in which the public is interested. The latter would indicate a startling change in the character of a proven newspaperman. The amount of money spent in *cov- ering’’ the fight by newspapers is al- most beyond estimate and, of course, the Marion Star spent its quota of this. That the expenditure of the sum was justified was proven even here in New Britain where a greater crowd listened to The Herald an- nouncer than has ever before assem- bled, even at national election times. We cannot believe that Mr. President was ag unconcerned as he would have had us think. Last Friday’s papers made “Eve’ of Battle almost as well known as “Eve” of Eden’s Garden. ‘Twas said before the fight that Carpentier wanted to fight Dempsey because the latter could not nounce his name.

SHOOTING CASE T0 BE HEARD THURSDAY Victim of Accident Is Patient at Hospital-- ; A . Upon the suggestion of Prosecut- ing Attorney Albert A. Greenbersg, the'case of Santi Patozza who acci- dentally shot William Fiedorczk yes- terday afternoon while the Fourth, was continued until Thursday morning. His bond, which was originally $1,000 was reduced to $500. The accused has retained Law- yers William M. and Josiah Green- stein. The injured man is confined to his bed at the hospital. An X-ray picture shows that the bullet after plercing his arm and chest has lodged either in the lungs or the liver and while his present condition is good the ultimate result is °in doubt. Standing on Veranda. The injured man was standing on the veranda of his home at 393 North Burritt street holding an in- fant in his arms when struck by the bullet. The police were notified and Fiedorczk was taken to the hos- pital. Ag investigation was insti- tuted by Detective Sergeant A. J. Richardson. He was informed by neighbors. that four men had been using a revolver in a lot near the injured man’s home. The sergeant went to the next house and directed inquiries at a party of men. Patoz- za immediately admitted having fired the gun but neither he nor the po- lice were in a position to state posi- tively that he was the man who caused the injuries. Reckless Driving Case. Boleslaus Yungegrevicz was found not guilty of reckless driving. Judge, G. W. Klett remarked that the ca as presented indicated that civil ac- tion, rather than criminal, should be brought. The accused was driving a car northerly on Stanley street last Tuesday. Fred: Doty, driver for the New Britain Wet Wash company turned into a side street and Yung- egrevicz collided with him over- turning the car driven by Doty. An 11 year old boy who was riding in the overturned car, sustained a broken arm. A nolle was recommended by the prosecutor in the case of Joseph Motta, charged with assaulting Wil- Ham Dubraholski. The men argued over money matters. e July 4th Docket. Amn unusually heavy police court docket was before Judge Klett in police court yesterday as the result of the week-end and holiday eve ac- tivities of the police. James Smith was sentenced to sixty days in jail for drunkenness and breach of the peace, and John Laverty was fined $10 and costs for drunkenness, the jail sentence being suspended. The men, in company with several others, created a dis- turbance on Stanley street Saturday and the police were called. Rocco Giovino, 17, was fined $2 and costs for discharging firearms without a permit, and Martin Koh- koin, who was arrested by Patro]- man Thomas Feeney for a similar offense, was fined $5 and costs. Judgment was suspended in the case of George Huck, 20, who was arrested by Sergeant George C. El- linger about 2 o'clock yesterday morning - for discharging a revolver without a permit. Judgment was also suspended in the cases of George M. Peterson and Barnard Anderson, who were arrested by Patrolman Adelbert Veley, and, in the case of Joseph Annenti, 18, who as taken into custody by Patrol- man Feeney, for the unlawful dis- charge of revolvers. Fines of $2 without costs were im- posed upon Paul Misuei and Max [ Feigenbaum for parking their auto- mobiles in restricted areas Saturday. Judgment was suspended in the cases of John Brasal, who was noti- fied to appear in court yesterday, and B. Stein for allowing their automo- biles to stand in restricted areas. John Donovan was fined $50 and costs for operating an automobile while under the influence of liquor. Peter Nutofski, <charged with breach of the peace, was placed on probation. Patrolman Patrick Mee- han arrested him. Francis Forcell, 25, and Joseph Backvus, 15, who were arrested at the carnival on Stanley street Sat- urday night by Supernumerary Policeman Zandfiain for fighting, were arraigned. The cases of Joseph Kenney, charged with assault, breach of the peace and resistance, and Oscar Tan- quay and Patriek Gunning, charged with interfering with officers in tha performance of their duty, as the result of a small-sized riot staged at the corner of Hartford avenue and North street, Sunday evening, in which Policemen William Doherty and Anthony Walinczus received in- juries which will force them to re- main off duty for several days, were continued until Thursday morning blame the American? by Judge Klett in police @surt yes- celebrating THE McMILLAN STORE, Inc, — ALWAYS RELIABLE — Our Annual July Sale of Linens and Domestics ° Begins Wednesday, July 6th, at 8:30 A.

This is not because the Catholic members of the ministry have been increased from two to three but because for the first time Catholics have obtained the much-desired port- folio of justice. It is pointed out that this post is most important, as it deals with eclesiastial questions. _— HIS VACATION ENDED. Rarian, N. J., July 5.—President 2nd Mrs. Harding today brought to a close their holiday vacation at the home here of Senator Frelinghuysen. Leaving Bound Brook station at 8:47 a. m. (standard time) the president and his party, who came here last Friday, were to reach Washington by early afternoon. As on the trip here from the capital, the party travelled ia the chair car of a regular train. The world war was mentioned more often last Saturday than it had been for six months previously —and that included Memorial Day. not “I'd rather be right than Presi- dent,” but “I'd rather be at the fight than resident here.” The fact that Carpentier's atten- tion, before the fight, was attracted to two aeroplanes over his head, did not indicate that he was “up in the air.” Before the fight the mention of Carpentier's name for some reason suggested to many such. words as “Argonne,” ‘“Meuse,” etc., but re- minded Dempsey of nothing of the sort. e Headline ‘‘Harding Signs Army Rill, But May Ask Change,”’ reminds us that often we forget to ask for change when we present a bill, ‘““‘Know Your Tow: Slogan to the Women, says New Haven paper’'s headline.
