Democrats Caucus Too. ‘While the Republicans and I. P. A. are making up their party office list tomorrow night in the town hall, the democrats will .be doing the same thing in the court room or assessors ofca of the same bullding. The call for the democratic ¢aucus was posted Saturday by Thomas Fa. ®an, chajrman of the democratic town committée, and the call states that men shall be named for the party tick- et to be used in the fall election. There is no hint at all on the part of the democrats to their choice of men this year. The republicans are wortied sick ovep the aotivities of the . A. and the latter are worrying theménlves about their strength, dut the democrats are sitting back, mum as' & dummy, and just wafting for ac- tion. . I P. A. Night Tonight. Tonight is 1. P. A. night in Berlin and members of the clan will a semble in Foresters’ hall in anticip: tion of one of the most important political meetings ever held here in Berlin. Tonight means the making or breaking of the party. Most of the men are looked ypon as good re. publicans bt they kicked the traces and are now counted out of the run- ning. If the I. P. A. decides tonight to go to the republican caucus and fight there are two things possible. Either the 1. P. A. wins or it loses. If it wins it will cease to exist for it will be the republican machine but if it loses, it may not take defeat In the general manner and may turn over to the democrats to help defeat the men they opposed. That's why tonight’s meeting is important for at it the policies and activities of the cldn at the caucfus tomorrow night will be determined on. The organization has sent letters ‘broadcast throughout the town urging men and women voters to go to the eaycus on Friday night and show their voting powers. The asséciation pro- scribes men who usurp political pow- er and maintain all authority in one -o-mon wis Support Strengthens. The .uupon of C. F. Lewis who I3 seeking reappointment at the re- publican caucus tomorrow night Is gajning strength every hour, accord- ing to one of the big men in political circles who 18 in a position to know. They are crabbing Lewis because he polds two obs, this man safd, “and they offer you A man who if chosen i1l hold three jobs. Is that jus- fce? The party at the head of this organization is one who had control of’the republican machine in this tewn and made it a one-man power. He was ousted and now he is seek- ing revenge." » Mr. Lewis was silent this morning when asked what he had to say. “The nsople know how I have filled my of- fce’” he sald. “and I leave the out- come in their hands.” Just Thinking Caucus. We are not weather prophets and 40 not care to qualify but here is a statement that is true. Tt will be a hot time in the old town tomorrow night. Every man, woman and child in town is talking caucus and that is all they will mention. Every- one, from the shoemakéP - to the resident of the bank and the leading anufacturers is interested to the pitch of excitement.’ One old resi- dent stated this morning that it will probably be the most exciting time Berlin ever had. I think the eld party will win” he-satd “but it will be A big fAght and -a close one” Ten't it all talk and ne action?” the reporter asked him. “Well, 1 thousht that myself at first”” he sald, “but I kppw now from what I've heard about town that it is all true and there will be a fight all right.” That seems to be the general opinion all gver the three districts. The Town hall will have to go some tomorrow night to hold-all that say they are going, The Interest is teem- ing over the alleged inread which the T.-P. A says It will make on the re- publican machine ~backers. Candi: dates h been mentioned by the I. P. 'A. to fill two positions. Now, sinte their eandidacies have been re- ported, the men can not very well refuse to run. As a result they are looking for the backers and hope to win out. These men are George Baldwin for selectman and E. G. Robbins for tax collector. It is al- most certain that the republicans will renominate George B. Carter for selectman and C. F. Lewis fur tax collector. The fight will then be on. Berlin Bricfs. Aitivities are noticed to be on the increase at the Beckiley Quarry where men are now busily ensaged in miaking repairs.

AGENDA AT LEAGUE BEING WORKED ON Preliminary Steps Are Being Taken by Diplomats London, Sept. 8.—Preliminary work in drawing up the agenda for the con- ference of limitation of armaments to be held in Washington next November is showing considerable progress it is declared by the London Times. This work is so far advanced, the newspa- per says, that it is possible to begin informal conversations between the powers to be represented in the confer- ence regarding the exact definitian and limitation of the subjects to be discuss- ed,” The newspaper understands these conversations will begin as soon as representatives of the interested powers return to London, and hopé is expresss ed ‘that they may rapidly lead to fav- orable results so that the main features of the agenda may be decided upon by the time the Japanese mission leaves Tokio for Washington. In urging Quick action, the "Times says editorfally: “‘Since the agenda will mean so much, it will be a relief to the world soon to know that it has been setgled. "It 18 a satisfaction to be able to -announte” that preliminary-conversa« |- tions will begin soon and that in some quarters they have begun already.” POSTMASTER OFFICE 1S SOUGHT BY MANY Several Already Have Received Application Blanks DOUBLE WEDDING . S00N Machines Being Moved From New Haven Plant to Local Standard Steel Conipany—Many Attend Dollar Day in New Britain—Items. ,It 1s already cvidemt,that when the examinations are received for the position of postmaster here there will be a tight squeeze as there are more in the race this term than there has ir_the race this term than there have been approximately seven local prom- inent men Who'applied for applica-~ tons to fill out. Those who have called at the office for blanks and who will undoubtedly enter the race, are: Peter J. Prior, James J. Gra- ham, Charles W. Hird, George Bying- ton. Frank Thompson, Gordon Hart- son and James Usher. Practically all of these men, with the exception of Mr. Usher, hold local positions and many have served in town offices. Mr. Prior is the present postmaster and has served in that ca- pacity for eight years. During his two terms, Mr. Prior has brought.the lecal office to a high point of effi- ciency and has aided it materially in reaching its second class which it now holds. He was also instrumental in securing the present rew quarters on Whiting street hav- ing it moved, from the old Newton block on West Main street where it had -been decidedly cramped. Mr. [actual resi@ent Prior had always taken a keen in- terest in his work and that of the town as well. His knowledge of the conditions of the local office stands him in well with the examinations and the prospects for his re-appointment look good. James J. Graham is at present as- sistant postmaster. He. has served as such for the past five .years.and is well acquainted with the.opera- tions of the office.. When. Mr. Gra- ham first entered the position he acted as sub-clerk for a period of six months. - His rapid rise followed until he attained the position he now holds. His friends are confident ot his reaching a high average in the examination and he has been given the assurance of support by many lo- cal prominent men. George Byington, propriétor of By- ington’s” drug store, served as judge of probate for several terms and acted in the office faithfully. He did not enter the race last election for pro- bate judge and was succeeded by Meritt O. Ryder . who holds ° that office now. Mr. Byington is an inter- ested party in local affairs and “will ake a good postmaster. Charles W. ‘Hird, town treasuter, is one of Plainville's best known grocery men. He had been in the grocéry ‘business for the past 13 years or more having sold his interests re- cently to two local young men. "Mr. Hird has been town treasurer for some time, Gordon Hartson, another applicant, i employed as-a mail carrier at the office. He has served in that ca- pacity since the service has been in- malled and is well versed in the ways of the office. Frank Thompson, owner of the Central gacage on Whiting street, Is also a town office holder. Mr. Thomp- son is fire warden and takes an in- terest in the doings of the town. James Usher. son of Town Clerk Robert C. Usher, is not at present an of. Plainylille. Mr. Psher lives in Newark; 'N. J.; and is employed by a New Britain concern. He does not hold any local office ‘and this is his first attempt at securing a local position. There are more applications ‘avail- able at the post office. The examina- tion blanks must be sent in to the United States Civil Service commission at Washington, D. C., not later than September *27. The position is' pure- ly one relying on education and bus- iness abilities and is non-political. clause in the blank reads to the ef- fect that persons over 65 years of are are not eligible and persons not being an actual resident in the deliv- ery of the post office, are not eligible for the position, but must be an in- habitant of the town for the past two years prior to the appointment date.

Several machines have arrived and are being installed. The work is being done by automobile trucks and it will be but a short time when all the New Haven machinery will be teen at the Plain- vill eplant. This will be good news to the Plainville residents as it will un- doubtedly mean some work for those out of employment. Several local men have secured positions at the factory. Although the officials are not hiring help directly, nor intend to take on a large forte, some of the old hands who worked there before the closing, were hired back again.

BRISTOL MAN SEEKS BETTER RAILROAD State Commerce Chamber to Study State Railway Facilities Hartford, Sept. 8 —A detailed and scientific study of the relative efficiency of railway and motor truck transporta- tion in Connecticut was decided on at a meeting of the directors of the Cham- ber of Commerce ‘Wednesday in New Haven and it was voted to have President Bullard of the chamber ap- point a committee to investigate and report on the problem with recommen- dations suitable for presentation at the next session of the general assembly. The aim of the state chamber is o propose some method whereby legisla- tion that will further the interests of the most efficient transportation method may be enacted. At present many of the directors feel there is an endless amount of duplication between the rail- ways and motor trucks. The plan for a study of the trans- portation situation is being forwarded by John T. Chidsey, president and treasurer of the C. J. Root Co. of Bris- tol, and the matter received much fav- orable comment at the meeting Wed- nesday. “‘The maintenance of two distinct systems of transportation plants, the rajlroads and the highways for motor truck transportation has become of acute interest on account of the ever increasing expense of both,”” says Mr. Chidsey in a letter addressed to E. Kent Hubbard, president of the manufactur- er’s association of Hartford county and read at the chamber directors’ meeting in New Haven. ‘‘The public interest | suggests the study by disinterested par- ties as to what extent those two plants may duplicate or supplement each oth- er so that, with proper facts establish- ed, such legislative or other action may be taken as necessary to the proper de- velopment of all our transportation fa- cilities in harmonious relations to each other, if possible, for the economic benefit and practical convenience of our people.’” REPORTS OF LEAGUE ACTIVITIES HEARD Activities of Council, Reviewed for Benefit of Delegates Geneva, Sept. .8 (By Associated Press)—Reports detailing the activities of the council of the league of nations since the last meeting of the assembly of the league were taken up by the as- sembly at this morning's sessjon. These reports were expected to open a wie: and comprehensive debate on nearly all ‘work done by the league since last De- cember, comprising the Polish-Lithu- anian dispute, the Albanian complaint against Greece and Jugo-Slavia, and the controversy between Costa Rica ana Panama over territory along the fron- tier of those two countries. It was also expected that exchanges relative to the transit of international troops through Swiss territory might be discussed. It ‘was expected there would be some sharp debates as to the work of the council and its relation to the assembly, The commission on disarmament has decided to hold open sessions and give fullest publicity to its work. This de- cision was reached upon the motion of Sir Robert Cecil, representing the Union of South Africa, who was sup- ported by Signor Schanzer of Italy ana Rene Viviani of France. M. Viviani, spoke yesterday on the lack of under standing of the subject of disarmament on the part of the people generally and declared that widest publicity was ne- cessary. Referring to the conference on limitation of armaments to be held in ‘Washington this autumn, M. Viviani said he did not know whether the dis- cussion there would include land arma- ments, but if it was confined to the naval service, the result of the con- ference must be limited. He declared, therefore that the league must go on with this work. REVOLUTION REPORTS FALSE. Bogota, Sept. 8.—Reports that a rev- olution has broken out in Colombia are false.

The monument stands on the summit of Cole's' Hill,- facing the open sea and on the site of the first burying ground. ‘‘Here, under cover of darkness, the fast dwindling company laid their’ dead, leveling the earth above them lest the Indians hould learn how mahy were the graves’ was one inscription on it. The bones of some of the Pilgrims, which were taken from the canopy over Plymouth Rock last December, have been deposited in the memorial. The' monument was dedicated at for- mal exercises in the First church as the last of the principal tercentenary observances which have extended over nearly a year. After the-exercises it was arranged that those participating should march to Cole's Hill to inspect it. In the absence of Major Gen, Leon- ard Wood, who was to have presided as past governor general of the so- ciety, Asa P. French, past deputy gov= ernor general was the presiding officer. The principal speaker was Benjamin Brewster, Episcopal bishop of Maine, a lineal descendant of Elder Brewster. “*The monument we dedicate today. he said, ‘‘commemorates one of those stories of sacrifice which means to hu- man society, not loss, but gain. ““This occasion invites a. considera- tion of their adventure in its relation to the broad currents of thought which af- fect powerfully the course of history, They were Puritans, vet with a dit- ference. They followed the logic of their individualistic creed to its con- clusion. “In their endeavors to realize their ideal of accomplishment they were more single minded than the bulk of the Puritan party. They sacrificed the lesser loyalty to authority to the high- er loyalty to the spirit, and took the step of separatism,. repugnant to the Puritans no less than-to Anglicans in full sympathy with the ritual of. the prayer book and the rule of "bishops. Compelled to choose between imprison- ment and exile they became Pilgrims.” Bishop Brewster, pointing out that Rev. John Robinson warned his flock against the dangers of ‘disputation jn religion’ and argued for civil tolerance of alleged religious errors, added: Now it is the simple truth, that in the temper of the Plymouth colony—by contrast particularly with the strong neighboring colony of ‘Massachusetts Bay—we see plainly the fruit of -this ‘Christian wisdom' of ° their. -pastor whom they had left behind. This dis- tinction has not always been recognized, and historical justice demands that we recognize it. In sympathy with the spirit of their open-minded pastor, the Plymouth pilgrims had moved from a position of negative revolt'to a posi- tive stage. ‘‘We touch out one ele- ment in the character and power of these pilgrim fathers, when we *speak of their individualism. More funda- mental was their innate social ‘con- sciousness, : “It is the value of Interdependence, not mere independence that our age is bringing home to us." Rev. John C. Adams of Hartford, Conn., elder general of the society, of- fered prayer and Rev. Harry St. Clair Hathaway of the Pennsylvania society, pronounced benediction.
