NEW YORK CLEARING HOUSE REPORT B vn,mus 823,200,000 176,500,000 ANTIGONISH GHOST HAS MANY FRIEND Washington Scientist Scouts Theory That Manifestations Were Caused by Wireless. ‘Washington, March 14.—The tigonish ghost has found friends in Washington. They have comq out by discrediting the enemies of the spirit who wish to credit its pranks te radio disturbances. One of the ghost's supporters Prof. J. Harris Rogers, inventor of the un- derground wireless, and the other is E. B. Judson of the radio laboratory of the bureau of standards, both of whom charactériced as absurd the story that the ghostly manifestations reported to have occurred in the Can- adian farm house were due to electri- cal disturbances. “The ghost's dotra((()l claim that the playground of the ghost in An- tigonish is mid-way between two wire- less stationg:at Wellfleet, Mass, and at Glace Bay, N. 8, and explain that electrical aétion resulting from the radio wavés -from these stations caused the fires at the barns. This was contradicted by the local experts, who also denied that the dropping of temperature to 25 degrees below zero could be laid to electrical activity. An- .NUMBER BALL PLAYERS.

The withdrawal of the Nosco steam- ship lines from New London was dis- cussed in connection with the New Haven project but the lack of facili- ties for expediting shipments by steamer have so ‘operated in the past that many customers are demanding shipments to the Pacific coast to be made by rail. It was the sense of the meeting that Secretary Ray L. Makin answer the questionnaire sent out by the New Haven harbor and improve- ment commission to the best of his abillty, mcording to local traffic con- ditions. Dissatisfaction was expressed with the present freight shipping rules which require a car after being un- loaded to be routed back to the rail- road by which it is owned,and not D. L. & W. line, but. he cannot load a car from B, & O. line, unloaded in New Britain must be sent back to the B. & O. territory loaded or empty: The same man who unloads that car may have a carload of good for the D. L. & W, line, but hecannot load it into the B. & O. car. | The condition has caused consider- able trouble and has lost some trade for New England shippers in southern and western markets.

Mr. Lauder's talk dwelt on the sub- ject of work and succe He told those present the old story of the fact that one can only get out of life what one puds into it. “The first feeling a man must have to be successful is to know that he is out of debt. IJt is a great honor to be able to walk down the street in! your own boots and to ride in your own automobile,” Mr. Lauder said. “A man taking on debt is hanging mile- stones around his neck and debt in- cites the bravest men to become dis- honest.” “Dishonesty is one of the greatest ly the hemnnlnp; of it."” NO CAUSE FOR ALARM That is What Expert Tells People of Bethel, Worried by Smallpox Scare, Bethel, Conn, March 14.—At.a| public mecting here tonight the re-| port of the physicians sumomned here the result of a citlzens’ meeting heid | on Sunday to examine patients qua antined on account of supposed small- pox wili be made public.

NEWINGTON ADOPTS 22-MILL TAX RATE at Morans', v Mar, Town Meeting Votes Iavorably on P’e- titions—Reporters Not to Be Ousted. A 22-mill tax was passed at a town meeting in Newington last evening. The grand list amounts to approxi- mately $2,875,000. The tax will raise approximately $63,000, of which $30,- 500 will go to the schools, which equals 10% mills. A 1 mill tax was laid for the town's 'sinking fund and the remainder for the town expenses. The following petitions were re- ceived and acted favorably upon: Two street lights for Elm Hill, one to be placed on Berkeley Place and the oth- Terrace; the appro- priation of $1,500 for the repairing of the north end of Maple Hill avenue. A committee of three was appointed by the moderator to investigate the condition and what it would cost the town to re-surface Maple Hill ave- nue from Newington road and Robbins . This com- mittee will make their report at the next meeting at which time will come up the question of a finance bhoard. A motion to oust newspaper porters from the meeting was lost. The matter was brought about through arguments by one of the se- lectmen in regards to the signing of bills for repair work done in the town. The arguments were strong and in- volved personal matters and it was feared by some that the publicity would make the town the laughing stock of the state. A request was made to ask the reporter to cross out the parts of the story which were lia- ble ta’cause this, but the request was refused. The matter was settied by and the reporters stayed and be allowed to attend in the fu- re- will ture. HARTFORD DRUGGIST DEAD Philo W.
