FAVORITISM CLAIMED. Charge Made That Only Democrats Are Getting Civil Service Blanks. Washington, July 28.—Because of complaints that only democrats were receiving from the civil service com- mission application blanks with which candidates for appointment to post- mastershps ip various localities may prepare themselves for examination and qualification, Postmaster Gen. Hays announced today that an addi- tional list of names now in prepara- tion would be furnished the commis- sion. o The lists now being used by the commission were built up largely from officlal sources, created in the last eight years under the Wilson ad- ministration, Mr. Hays said adding that some justification might exist for the complaints. The additional names, however, will merely supplement the list already in use by the civil service commission. BIG GRAIN MOVEMENTS.

Mr. and Mrs. William E. Smith ot 1 Prospect street observed the 40th anniversary of their wedding at their home last evening. Members of the family were present and the occas- ion took the form of a family re- union. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were given $40 in gold by their four chil- dren. The couple are well known ia this city where Mr. Smith is superin- tendent of City Hall. They were married forty years ago yesterday by Rev. Father Rodin at St. Ann’s church in Bristol. At this time Mr. Smith and Miss Annie Hor- rigan then of Farmington and Thomas Smith and Miss Catherine Pentlow of this city were married. Each couple acted as best man and bridesmaid re- srectively for the other. At the same chur@h, but thirty-five years after. Robert A. Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, ‘was married to Miss Julia Moran of Bristol. Robert Smith’s birthday was also celebrated yester- day. Following their marriage the couple lived in Farmington, but came to this city 38 years ago. Mr. Smith was em- vloyed in local factories until he went to work at city hall. The couple have four children. They are Fireman Robert A. Smith, Mrs. Michael J. Souney, and the Misses Grace and Gertrude Smith. The observance last evening was a complete surprise to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Takes the ERROR out of TERROR A single moment may turn your security into a peril.

Chicago, July 28—William J. Bryan Wwas arrested twice last night for speeding along the North Shore to- ward Waukegan, where he was to lec- ture on prohibition. A whiskered constable in Antioch nabbed him first. “But I am William Jennings Bry- an,” he protested. “What's that stand for?” “Didn’t you evér hear of ‘Bill’ Bryan?” asked Jack Barstow of Wau- kegan, the commoner’s chaufteur. ‘Never did,”” said the constable. “There used to be a Bryan down Zion way, but his name wern't Bill. He'’s dead now, anyway. What busiyess are you in?” : Mr. Bryan gasped. “I'm a writer on gubjects of poli- tical economy,” he exsplained, a bit indignantly. “I've been in politics forty-one years. I have been a can- didate for the Presidency of the United States. I have been Secretary of State. In Lincoln, Neb., where I live, I am fairly well known and re- spected as a law abiding citizen.” “That may go in Lincoln,” admitted the policeman. “But I never heard of you, Mr. O’Brien, and you'll have to tell the judge about it.”” There came a talk between Jack, the chauffeur and the constable. “I'll let you go with a warning,” the cop informed the Commoner at length. “If you’re a ‘friend of Jack’'s you probably are all right."” There was no further adventure until Zion City, where a motorcycle drove them to a curb. “I'm William Jennings Bryan,” said Mr. Bryan in response to a request: for his name. “Glad to know you,” said the mo- torcycle cop. ‘“We’ve met before. I'm Woodrow Wilson, and that man in uniform across the street there is Robert E. Lee. Christopher Colum- bus is out shooting craps with Queen Elizabeth.” The Commoner, unable for the first time in his life to frame an answer, stepped out of the car into the light. This time the copper apologized. “Let me shake the hand that rais- ed grape juice to its present high es- tate,” he said. Mr. Bryan complied and sped on toward Waukegan. CO-OFPERATE WITH FARMERS.

That the scenery in Connecticut, and especially about New Britain, far surpasses anything he has seen in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania or New York is the opinion of Ralph Greer, of Wilmington, Delaware, who with his wife, has been motoring through New England for the past five weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Greer have been the guests for the past few days of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Nowland, of 67 Hillcrest avenue, Belvidere. “The Connecticut Valley is one of the finest sights I have.ever seen,” said Mr. Greer vesterday. He spoke of the low flat country in the vicinity of Wilmington, and compar- ed it with the rugged beauties of na- ture to be found among the hills of Connecticut. Mr. Greer who formerly came from the agricultural and tobacco raising section of Pennsylvania, was astound- ed at the masgnitude of this industry in Connecticut. *“I saw acre after acre of tobacco,” he said “which were as fine crops asthe famous Lancaster county tobacco crops of Pennsylvania, which county has been said to be the banner tobacco raising country of the United States.” What impressed Mr. Greer very for- cibly was the vast alfferefice ig the cuspms and manner of speaking be- tween the people of Delaware and New England. He said he thought the hills about New Britain were far ° prettier than the famous Moun- tains of Pennsylvania. Mr. and Mrs. Greer morrow for their home. will leave to- MUCH HELP GIVEN.
