Club, and Forrest Street Maidens Do Their Bit Two organizations of girls were the principal contributors to the fund to be used for paying the expenses of many New Britain youngsters on a two weeks' vacation at the Fresh Air camp in Burlington today. One letter, accompanying two one dollar bills, explained that the donation was from the C. of M, club, “a fine lot of girls.”” The Fresh Air Editor does not happen to know what the initials stand for but he does admit that they are indeed as the letter described | them. Actuated by the spirit of charity and benevolence the girls of Forest street gave an entertainment and| raised two dollars. An individual gave one dollar. Miss Bartlett's letter from the camp, which The Herald printed last evening, will go further toward de- ecribing the good times of all the little guests of the donors to the Fresh Air fund than can the editor's words, it also outlines the lasting benefits to the health of the youngsters.

He later worked as a clerk at McMlillan's and also in the G. Fox company at Hartford The Hague, July 12. (By Assoclat- ed Press)—The morning session of the conference on Russlan affalrs which was devoted to consideration of private property question broke up amid considerable confusion, many of the delegates declaring the Russian replies meant that the collapse of The Hague conference was inevitable. No decision as to this, however, had been taken up to 3 o'clock this af- ternoon. A meeting of the commission on debts was arranged for later in the |afternoon. Discussion Seems Useless. Sir Philip Lloyd Greame, president of the commission on property which was the body sitting today, announc- ed in the conference at 1 p. m. that | further discussion seemed useless and brought the conference to a sudden close after two hours of debate in which delegates persistently tried to get Maxim Litvinoff and his associ- ates to answer questions regarded as essential to have cleared up. These related to the plans for the | restoration of foreign property confis- cated by the soviet regime. The chief bone of contention was the foreign property that had been nationalized in Russia. Sir Philip found the replies of the Russians uneatisfactory because they declined to make any promises con- cerning compensation. WHITE APPOINTED President Names Indiana Man To Have Charge of Newly Created Posi- tion in Charge of Immigration. Washington, July 12.—Carl White of Muncle, Ind., at present chairman of the board of review of the depart- ment of labor, was today named by President Harding as assistant secre- tary of the department of labor. This position recently was created by an act of congress and Mr. White will have executive charge of all immi- gration matters. Mr. White has been identified with the labor department | since January 1. Smith and his brother-in-law, Patrick W. of High street, in the grocery meat business. Became a Cop in 1904, 5 He became affiliated with the pouce department as a supérnumerary po-| liceman in May, 1904. He was ap- pointed as a regular policeman on June 15, 1908. Always an alert offi- cer, Hart gained the confidence of the men with whom he was associated in the ranks, and his superior officers were always ready to pay him a com- pliment for his efficiency. First to Pass Exams. In 1916, there occurred an oppor- tunity for patrolmen to take the civil service examination for promotion to a sergeantcy) in the department. It was the first time that they had this opportunity, and among the appli- cants for a promotion was Hart. He topped the list with an average of .98. When the board made an ap- pointment, Hart received ft. Later the office of lieutenant was created in the department and again Hart stood high in the test, but he was not given the place. *Had No Favorites, When the liquor crusade began and in this city were such that a specially trained body of men would be needed to take care of this work, Hart was detailed to the difficult task. manner that he waged a campaign against the violators of the liquor law, and on all sides the greatest of praise was heard of his work. Is Promoted Rapidly. a After A. J. Richardson was ar- rested, the board of police commis- sfoners placed Sergeant Hart at the head of the detective bureau, but it was not until a few weeks ago that he was officially designated as chief detective sergeant. It is believed that his rapid promotion from the ranks of a sergeant, to chief detective ser- geant to chief of the department, is near to a record. Other Facts.

The reports said the mob, com- posed of strikers, attacked rallway guards and employes in an isolated section near the Missouri, Oklahoma jand gulf railroad Denison shops. “Rallway guards were kidnapped, |whisked away in automobiles to the |river bottoms where they were beaten” said H.
