NEAR PANIC IN CHAUTAUQUA TENT Center Pole Bends, But Big Canvass Does Not Fall ¥Presence of mind on the part of ‘“Donie” Bush for 13 Years a Member of the Detroit Tigers to Pass On. Detroit, Aug. 18.—With today ths last on which options could be exer- cised for the services of Owen “Donic” Bush for 13 years a mainstay in the infield of the Detroit clubs, Tiger faas anticipated an early announcement as ito the scene of the future activities Chautauqua officials and coolheaded- ness on the part of the audience averted what easily have been a panic at the fairly well filled Chautauqua tent last night. During a lecture by Harry R. Mc- Keen on economic [rinciples and ideals of ¢ditizenship, the large iron centerpole of the tent buckled under the tremendous weight of rain watcr and threatened to drop. Words of reassurance on the part of Mr. Me- Keen and Superintendent Kent finally convinced the audience that it was impossible for either the tent or the pole to come down. A few seats were changed so as to be out of range 'of the swinging pole and, although Mr. Kent offered to stop the program and permit the people to go home, assuming that they naturally would feel a little nervous, the audience insisted upon Mr. Mc- Keen completing his lecture, which he did. Immediatoly following the pro- gram, Tent Captain Paul Crosby got on the job with his crew and re- paired the defective polce so that there will be no danger of a repiti- tion of the accident. “‘Chautauqua is an addition to the educational facilities of the city which New Britain people like to have. It has a tendency to uplift the morals of the community,” said Mayor O. F. Curtis yesterday afte noon as he introduced Superinten- dent Samuel N. Kent and his staff. Abram Buol in presenting the mayor spoke of Chautauqua being a nek venture in the city and his confi- dence in the feeling that New Bri- tain people would be very much pleased with this type of entertain- ment. “The Chautauqua idea is to instill higher and better ideals into the people of New Britain, to make the poor spirit in the city good, and to make the good spirit better,” said Superintendent Kent in 'response. The lecture yesterday by Mr. Kent was a masterful argument in favor of immediate disarmament. Col- umbia artists rendered during the aft- ernoon and evening, vocal and in- strumental selections they make for talking machine records. Those of the Columbia artists in- clue Torcom Bea Bezaztan and Misses Edna White and Florence Dewey. Piano, cornet and violin music was added to the vocal selections. This evening a lecture on “Work, Wealth and Welfare,” will be delivered by Leslie Willis Sprague. Tomorrow evening Dr. Russel H. Conwell will render his famous lecture, ‘“Acres of Diamonds.” The Jolly Junior Chautauqua me# after the afternoon program yester- day with Misses Viola Wagner and Dorothy Blackburn and again this morning at 9 o'clock. The real meaning of Junior Chautauqua was explained to them . “Two funny stores which delighted the children, “Jimmy's Lost Leg” and “The Wriggles Boy in School,” were told. The children will meet these ladies every morning at 9 o’clock until they have their pageant on the last day. SUFFERED ALL A WOMAN COULD Mrs. Meyer Finally Found Relief and Health in Lydia E.

Announcement that waivers had been asked on Bush was made by Frank J. Navin, president of the De- troit team last night. Two major league organizations which is was said have put in bids for Bush had until tody to take advantage of their claims and in the event neith- er takés over the player, Bush will be entitled to his release under the ten vear eervice rule. . In well informed quarters, the re- lease of Bush was taken to indical that the local management had begua to put into operation contemplated plans for strengthening the Tigers. Bush came to Detroit from the In- flianapolis club of the American As- sociation late in 1908. For many years he was the lead-off man and although never classified as a slugger, had a reputation for timely hitting and was considered a hard man to pitch to. From a fielding standpoint Bush left little to be desired in the opinion of local fandom. = SEEKS MILLION DOLLARS.

THURSDAY, SUST FOOTBALL PLAYER IS FINED 6,000 FRANC Has Four Months in Prison and Money Penalty for Injuring Player Paris, Aug. 18.—A Rouen court has condemned a football player to four months in prison and to pay a fine of 6,000 francs for injuring another play- r during a match. This is te first time such a sentence has been delivered in France and if the judgment is held on appeal, it is believed in sporting circles that it will have a lasting effect on sports, as players will hesitate to risk going to prison for a game. The Olympic Club of Paris was playing the Rouen club (Association) and during the first half Aymard (Rouen) had to leave the ground om account of an injury to his eye after a -ollision with the international player, Langenove, (OlympicL The day was very foggy and only two or three slayers could see what really happen- ed. The Rouen club lodged a complaint with the French Football Federation which found it impossible to obtain proof of misconduct against Langen- ove. Aymard then sued Langenove be- fore the Rouen courts.and the fore- going judgment was given py default. French courts always give the max- imum penalty \/her they condemn any ene who does not appear for trial, but the sentence may be changed if the condemned man takes the case to ap- peal. Langenove says he never received a summons to appear before the court. He was a student at St. Cyr Military college When the match was played, and was in garrison at Mayence when the case was heard. When he charged Aymard, the latter said: “It wasn't decent to charge me like that.” Lan- genove said, “there is no truth in the accusation that I struck him with my fist.” CHAMPION MEETS DEFEAT.

CITY STANDS HIGH IN HEALTH REPORT But One Case of Scarlet Fever Shows| Against New Britain—Warning Issued For Greater Care. The weekly morbidity report issued& by the state department of health, shows New Britain far up in the cities with good health conditions. The only mark against this city for the week is shown in one case of scarlet fever. That one case is out of a total of 97 cases of general communicable diseases, not-including 117 cases of other communicable diseases. The report carries the announce- ment of the appointment of Dr. Rob- ert E. Perdue as health officer of Nor- walk to succeed Dr. W. A. Tracey, Wwho served since 1893. Dr. Walter L. Barber of Waterbury has been ap- pointed health officer of Woloott, suc- ceeding Dr. C. N. Denison. who will continue as health officer of Cheshire. A warning is issued against food contaminated by typhoid or other germs. Impure milk, raw foods, and other products handled by germ car- riers have caused most of the sick- ness, the report states, and asks for co-operation in trying for more clean~ liness in handling foodstuffs. Health officials and school authorities ara asked for greater help n stemming the sprcad of smallpox which has more than trebled since 1916. The school officials are expected to make use of the state statute which gives them authority to require vaccination of children before entering school. Tubderculosis still runs high in the state although the deaths in the past few months have been fewer than im the same period in other vears. ‘Hudson and Essex Prices Again Reduced Hudson Super Six, $1895.00 EFFECTIVE AUGUST 17.
