Politics have again taken first place in the town's talk with much dis- cussion over the breaeh which seems apparent in republican ranks because of the fact that the three districts of the town have each a candidate de- sirous of election as representative in the general assembly.

The position of representative is re- ported as paying $300 and the work of the assembly generally lasts sev- ral months. A good attendance rec- ord is considered one of the necessi- ties of a live representative, and this is where friends of Mr. Mildrum fail to see his acceptance of the. honor. His business would have to be cared for during that period and a substi- tute would be necessary to handle it. The renumeration from the polftical office would not be sufficient to pay the local man for taking the place if elected. The name of R. O. Clark of Ber- lin was mentioned this morning but it was reported that Mr. Clark refused acceptance of the position because of lack of time due to business. Had Mr. Clark accepted the nomination, Francis Deming would not be in the race at the present time, for the lat- ter concedes the fact that Clark s probably the most deserving man in town for this political office. Local followers of politics are sit- ting up and taking notice. The men- tion of a compromise and a dark horse candidate have mude public the fact that the republicans now doubt their fall strength. State Police Get Whiskey The whiskey which was taken from a Ford truck driven by William Myers of Portchester, N. Y, last Saturday night is now reported to be in the hands of the state police in Hartford. Myers had a truck load of the liquor en route to Massachusetts when ar- rested. The consignment was seized and the car confiscated. The local authorities were notified but were not given charge of the llquor. A state policeman made the arrest and Judge Griswold reports the liquor was taken from here to Hartford to the police barracks in that city.

The other 13 were divided between Judge Meritt O Ryder and Assessor Schuyler P. Wil- lfams. The nomination of Miss Morgan did not come as a surprise to either the democrats or republicans, as she ap- peared to have had a clear fleld ahead of her before the balloting started, This office nomination was the main lesue of the G.

The engineering bureau has com- piled a few facts on coal and its use, ta ald the public until coal returns to normal production. The main point of the buresu's papers is the need for economy in burning coal. Coal Waste. It has been stated by good author- ity, the paper said, that 25 per cent of the coal wasted in home heating can be saved. The main point in economy is cleanliness of the plant as soot is an insulator against transfer- ence of heat and must be kept out of Soft Coal Soft coal demands greater care in firing. In putting in fresh coal, it should not cover all the burning sur- It it does, the gases driven off the while searching for another mysteri- ous speed boat which escaped.

WHITE MEN KILLED IN NEGRO SECTION Two Are Found Strangled to Desth aon Roof of Tenement Populated By Colored People. New York, Sept. 15.—Two unidenti fled white men who had beea strangled to death, were found todey on the roofs of two tenements on the west side in a district populated al. most entirely by negroes. Their pockets were turned inside out. The two victims had been strangled with their own neckties. Police were mystified as to whether.they had been slain where the bodies were found or had been dragged to the roofs after- ward. One body was identified by Harry Levine, used motor car dealer as that of a farmer from Norwalk, Conn., who had visited him yesterday to eell his car. One of Levine's cards was found near the body. Levine said the victim had spoken of being acquainted with Thomas Howard, vaudeville actor, and the po. lice are seeking Howard in an effort to complete the identification.

That a compromise is being sought was authoritatively learned this morning when it was rumored that in case the three candidates are un- able to agree on some united action, a dark horse may be run in an inde-| pendent manner in order to make cer- tain of victory. Just who this dark horse will be is not definitely known. One of the real leaders of the repub- lican party offered the name of E. W. Mildrum of East Berlin as the one capable of running in this manner and coming through victorious. Mr. Mildrum is thought to belong to the old line of machine republicans and it is doubtful whether he would per- mit the use of his name. He {s well kpown locally because of his activity in the insurance business anrl‘ has a large following of friends in all the districts of the town. The mention of Mr, Mildrum this| morning by one of the old line repub- | licans shows that the G. O.

Auto Brealks Through Fence. It was reported this morning that an autoist came to grief some time during the night at a point just east of the bridge on Farmington avenue when his machine left the roadway and plowed up the embankment, breaking through the fence at the cemetery before halting. The fence this morning showed results of the crash, The front wheels of the car were damaged and it was towed to a New Britain garage this morning. Heavy Auto Traffic.
