BERLIN NEWS REPUBLICANS READY FOR MONSTER FIGHT Caucus Tonight Promises Some- thing in Line of Action BOTH FACTIONS CONFIDENT —_— Tonight American Democrats Cancus Also— Important Meeting of Legion on Number of Births Reported. Monday Night—Large All roads, trolleys, automobiles and other means of conveyance will lead to the Town hall tonight, where the republican caucus is scheduled to be held at 8 o'clock. Perhaps never in the history of the town has there been such interest in a political meeting. Despite the fact that it has intimated that it is mostly talk has been going around about the in- terest in the caucus, there will be a big fight tonight between the regular republican faction and the new ex- tremists known as the Independent Political association in an effort to fill the offices to be named on the ballot. The I. P. A. faction has been cam- paigning for some weeks and has gone to the trouble ang expense of sending out circular letters to all the republican voters of the town The committee also offers the serv of free transportation to the caucus for anyone who wishes to go and has not the means of conveyance There is an axe to be ground in republican circles here and the ecaucus will prove the grindstone, so the story goes The present regime has its enemies, mostly consisting of former officials who ve a desire to take a new lease on public life and a great desire to run politics in Berlin again Therefore the attempt to “cut out” the present administration, which they term “dead” and appoint a personnel which will give Berlin new life and prominence, it is claimed Two of the leaders of the Indepen- dent Politieal association are not voters at the present time, according to a review of the lists this morning. and while these men may be active In tryl to geet new men in office, they will not be able to do anything about it by their own personal vote Daniel Malarney, president of the body. stated this morning that there are about 200 followers of the fac tion in town and that they expect that many to support them in their fight at the caucus tonight. Mr Malarney had nothing to say about plans which had been made to the caucus over to the I P. A cholces for office but intimated that the Interest would be at the caucus when the strength of the new asso- ciation will be shown Everything in Readiness Selectman George B. Carter was & the hall bright and early this m seeing to it that everything Is for the moster gathering. At noon only a few detalls remained to be cared for and the men In charge r ported that preparations would eompleted before nightfall Plans were made to accommodate a crowd of over 500 persons. The chairs In the hall have been repaired and several news ones placed In posi tion. They are to be rather crowded tonight in order to allow for seats for all_who attend Pomsibly the feminine faction at the eaucus has been the cause for the clean up and repair of seats for the men In charge would desire chance for the women voters to hav something on the men by seeing a h been that win re be no for political purposes which was not neat and clean and comfortable in every respect There are new electric lights and everything for the night. New bulbs were placed in the sockets this morn- ing and the lighting system has been remodeled so as to permit of regular city service on the lights in theatrical effect. New switch buttons have bec placed in position near the town clerk’s office and these permit controi of all lights in the hall from one posi- tion instead of the old system | which each light was controlled in- dividually The state police have been secured to handle the traffic situation. The hail is on the main thoroughfare to New Haven and s traffic here is always heavy it was thought advisable to have the state officers care for the situation and thus have responsibility taken from the shoulders of the town officials The caucus will start at and some of the leaders think it will be over at 10 o'clock. Others are of the opinion that it will be long drawn out and will last for several hours The Candidates. Geoigo B. Cartes, tha present select- man, is out to succeed himself for another term.

SCHOOL ATTENDANGE HEAVIER THIS TERM Nearing 800 Mark With More Coming A. Gillette of Canal Swrect Has Blooming Cercus—Bascball Games Scheduled for Tomorrow— Election Notes—Other Items. From all indications, the Plainville Grammar school will have one of the largest enrollments this term that the school has ever witnessed in it his- tory. Principal Orrin L. Judd and the teaching force, bave been taxed to the utmost getting the pupils in their proper classes. The first day schocl started, there was an attendance of 755 which has increased to 788 to date and there is no doubt in the minds of the officials but that this will be over the 800 mark and even higher. For a comparison, the figures last vear were much lower. On the open- ing day, there was an enrollment of about pupils. Although there are more children at the school this year than any other term, it is not thought but what suita- ble accommodations can be found for all of them. Some of the teachers have as many as 40 and 45 in a class and this is considered high. There have been many out of town pupils enter- ing and several youngsters have been enrolled for the first time. Town Clerk Usher has been kept pretty busy mak- ing out birth certificates and there have been about 15 or 20 issued so far. The school building can easily ac- commodate $00. The force of teachers is complete and there are few new ones among them. The exact number of town pupils has as yet not been ascertained but will be made out by Principal Judd next week when his reports are handed in. The usual routine will be followed when the conditions at the school are all finished and the pupils will have an opportunity to see their much loved moving pictures in the miniature school theater. A successful vear is looked forward to by Mr. Judd Bascball Tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon. the Aces will not play as there is no game sched- uled. However, on Sunday afternoon, the team will journey 10 Avon to play their fast opponents of that town. The players will take the trip by automo- bile and will leave Plainville center at 1 o'clock. So far, each team has been successful in winning one game and this game will be the deciding one. The local management will have its best battery for the occasion and Kalish and Marino will be seen at the pitching and receiving ends. It is also rumored that the management of the Aces is striving to secure an- other series of games with the Plain- ville Athletic club. The Aces are still of the opinion that they can defeat them and intend evidently to show them that they can The Plainville Athletic club will play Portland tomorrow afternoon. Portland is in the lead in the Inter league and will be the fastest team the locals have ever been pitted up against. This will be the first of a series of three games between the two teams and will be for the cham- pionship of the Valley league. The local team ‘“‘copped” the pennant of the Hartford County league and are now after that of the Inter league. Portland has some speedy ball pla: ers on their lineup and the locals will have their favorites with them On Sunday afternoon. the first of a series of games with Collinsville will be held in that town. There is nothing definite, however, ahout this series as a side bet is understood to be under consideration. When the sea- son started. Collinsville was in the league with the locals but never scemed to be anxious to play the Plainville team and they will now have an opportunity to show their mettle. The management for the Plainville team has raised a sum said to reach $200 and are willing to place it on their team. Has Night Blooming Cereus. Mrs. F. A. Gillette of Canal street, is proud possessor of a night blooming cereus, probably one of the best in this vicinity. There are at present four blossoms in full bloom on it. This makes a total of six the plant has borne so far. The four blossoms sprouted out last night shortly before 12 o'clock and were seen by many people. Some of them came from as far Bristol, Unionville and New Britain. Mrs. Gillette had the occa- sion as a sort of family reunfon. Just as the clock in the Congregational church was sbowly tolling the hour of 12, Charles Fisher, also of Canal street. took a flashlight picture of the beautiful plant and this morning. took another snapshot of it. The flowers are the largest that have ever heen scen in this section of the as Gillette has had the plant for some five or six years and it has al- ways bloom~d heavily. It had eicht biossoms on it but two fell off. For a plant to have eight blos- soms and six of them in bloom is considered wonderful by many florists The majority of the plants have a tendency to drop about half the buds. During the time the plant has heen in bloom. more than 100 persons have called at the home and viewed it The plant started to blossom three nights azo. Albert Oakes Returns. Albert Oakes, local southpaw pitch- er. has returned from Pennsylvania where he has been playing profes- sional ball for the past season. Oakes played with the Hanover team of the lue Ridge league of Pennsylvania and had a good average of sames won. He is now playing with the Wa- terbury team and yesterday. pitched four innings for them. He started the season with this team but they sent to the Hanover management for : tryout and he was accepted. He will finish the scason with the Waterbury players. Mrs. cereus Election Notes. Much speculation is being given to the coming town election and to the republican caucus to be held Monday Patches, Worn Out Shoes and no Lux- urics For Southern Baptists Until $75,000,000 11 Raised. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 9.—Southern Baptists will cut out all luxuries this iall, ehminate many of the common necessities and wear old shoes, and patched clothes if need be to meet their pledges to denominational inter- ests, if they heed an appear formulat- ed today by the conservation commit- tee of the $75,000,000 campaign. Meribers of the committee have challenged the local Baptists through- out the south to meet them in sacrific- ing pe:sonal comfort rather than fail to meet their obligations to the general causes of the denomination. GARRIER PIGEONS ACTING REPORTERS Will Carry News of Mine Work- ers’ Convention Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 9.—Carrier pigeons are to be used for dissimenat- ing news of the convention of the United Mine Workers of America here starting Sept. 20. Miners in Nokomis, Ill.. have in- formed international headquarters here of this novel method of keeping men back home informed of conven- tion proceedings, and the officials here assert this is the first time that such use of he pigeon has been made in this country. George Spavin of Nokomis, owner of 80 homing pigeons, has offered the Nokomis delegates to the convention the use of his birds so as to enable them to send daily or hourly dis- patches from the convention hall here to the two local unions in Nokomis. Mr. Spavin brought the pigeons to this country from England for racing purposes, and he will give the use of them to the convention delegates. “We look forward to these novel news carriers with great interest to bring us the semi-daily proceedings of the convention,” writes Willlam Mar- cus Hanney, president of one of the miners’ local unions at Nokomis. “There has been some fine work done by the homing pigeons during the last and greatest coal strike in the history of England. When no trains were running and it was diffi- cult to send or receive daily news this was very important. The homing This Game Will Be Regarded By Man- agement As on Par With Prince- ton and Harvard. New Haven, Sept. 9.—The Yale football management will prepare for the West Point-Yale game in the Bowl on October 22 as one on a par with the major contests against Harvard and Princeton.

There is no doubt but that there will be many of- fice seekers this term which may be traced to the presént employment con- ditions.

The following are the offices which must be filled: Town clerk, selectman, town treasurer, tax collector, one assessor to the present board, constables, grand jurors, regis- trars of voters, one appointment to the board of relief, auditors, school com- mittee and library directors. The health officer, dog warden and forest fire warden are appointed through dif- ferent channels. The selectmen ap- point the fire and dog wardens while the health officer is selected by the state.

(By Associated Press)—Japanese diplomacy now is be- ing vigorously devoted to the securing of a settlement of three outstanding problems before the opening of the Washington conference on Far Eastern questions and the limitation of arma- ments, namely, those of the island of Yap, Shantung and Siberia. According to information received in Tokio the main lines of a solution of the Yap problem seem to have been agreed upon in Washington but import= ant details have yet to be worked out. It is understood Yukichi Obata, Jap- anese minister to Peking, has received explicit instructions, concerning a re=- newed attempt to induce China to open negotiations regarding Shantung. The Kokumin Shimbun today interprets Japan’s last move as a form of uitima- tum to China. Officials here describe the Japanese plans for restoration of Shantung as conciliatory. They point out that Jap- an waives any request for international or exclusively Japanese settlement be- ing content to make Tsingtao an opem port but insisting on joint management of th~ railroad, mIing and other econ= omiu enterpris hitherto directed by Germany, Under the Japanese plan China would regain full sovereignty) over Shantwaz. the Japanese troops be- inf compictely witnarawn The negotiations with the representa~ tives of the Far Eastern republic of Siberia concerning Siberia are being pushed actively Japan apparently seek- ing an economical and commercial trea- ty with the Far Eastern republic so that she can go to the Washington con= ference with an accomplished fact.
