CLATWS NATION'S WET BY CLOSE VT Liberal Deduces Wine Would * Carry by 2,500,000 Washington, Jan. 17.-=0n the third anniversary of national prehibition in the United Matds, Captain W. H, Stayt founder and executive head of the Association Against the Prohis bition Amendment, declared Soday that the prospect of modifying the dry laws grew better and better every day in every way: Y Hased on election results in eight important states, Captain Stayton made the elaim that th 8 & vot- ing majority of 2,600,00 in the coun- try in favor of the manufacture and sale of heer and light wines, He es. timated that the voting in Ohie, Cali- fornia, Massachusetts, Tllinois, New York, Maryland and Missouri showed an approximate wet majority of ngar- Iy 1,000,000, Captain ayton said that there were “unmistakable evi. dences” of a general change in sentis ment since the dry laws went into tf+ feet, “After three years of unsteady reign, old King Prohibition i fast tottering to a fall,” he said, “During that period the tyrant has had his twin favorites, the Anti-Saloon League and the bootleggers. To please one he bhas sacrificed the liberties of the people, while to the other he has turned over the revenues of the state, 4 Saloon League. “Just three years ago the Anti- Saloon League succeeded in imposing its tyranical laws upon an unsuspect- ing people, by which they were de- prived of a part of their liberties, Since that time, they have had no complete chance to pass on the queg- tion, “Happlly, however, there are most encouraging évidences of a changed sentiment. This has been steadily crystalizing and it will be only a mat- ter of time until the voice of the peo- ple will be made mandatory by their vote, “The Anti-Saloon League has con- sistently fought anything that savors of a referendum on the issue. Where it has been forced, officials of the league have distorted the returns. In a speach in' New York city last, Sat- urday, Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the league, made the statement that in every {nstance where the people had faced the issue of legaiizing beer and wine, the pro- posal had been rejected by 8 large majority. Nothing is further from the facts. Let us take stock: “Despite the opposition of the League, there has been a virtual ref- Over 67 | | Years |'f "+ | [ \: | Success | or | Co{ath and Colds roads continue unabated, Consider- able destruction is reported to have resulted from s on the West Clare rallway in the distriet between Ennis, Kilrush and Kilkee, One report says that practically the whole line 27 miles long has been ruined, Beveral stations have beeu burned, the tracks have been torn up and the rolling stock destroyed, . BURRITT BANK HAS ' NEWTHRIFT PLAN (Continued from First Page) servance of the week, by fixing it so that every new depositor who opens an account with fifty cents at that bank will be given credit for one dol- Iar. A dollar in savings is selling for fifty cents to those who have no pre- vious account in the bank. How's that, pretty fair? We are printing a coupon on an inside page. You must clip this coupon (just like a plutocrat clips bonds) and, having raked up fifty cents somewhere, take it around to the bank with the fifty cents. There you will be given a nice little savings bank book with the statement that you have deposited a dollar written in its pages. Of course you must agree to deposit something more before the end of six months, If it is only fifty cents, and you must agree not to withdraw the dollar as scon as it is deposited. That is simple enough to understand. If we wanted to give away 50 cent pieces it could be -done without giving you a TELLY INTERESTING STORIES OF ORIENT Educator, Gives Lecture Adventures encountered in elimbing the Himalayas, erossing the plaing of Thibet, traversing Aslatic deserts, through vast salt plains, over glaciers, ele, were recounted and illustrated last evening hy Professor Ellsworth Huntingten, of Yale, to the South Congregational chureh Brothérheod, Professor Huntington spent years teaching, traveling and exploring in the Far Fast and has a vast store of knowledge of life and econditions among the people of India and China, He took as his subject, “Chinese.

Mountain peaks, as much as 20,000 feet high, #0 high that animals could not climb them because of difficulty of bpreath- ing, were scaled and photographed by the speaker, Visits were made to and photographs taken of strange nomadic tribes which had never seen a white man and either reared or threatened him, Gorgeous ceremonials of welcome by Chinese mandarins wero shown and told of. Startling mixtures ot foodstuffs, such as a tea which in- cludes among other things soda and rancid butter, or meals made from bowl#ef sour milk, were discussea. A quartet of young women from the New Britain Trust Co, rendered several selections. Mrs, Charles Bern- stein sang two solos, accompanied by Miss Anne Mawe. Rev. Dr, George W. C.

Going into the hall, the Gorham ehildren saw smoke, Their father, believing the fire to be in the basement, rushed down the stairs to the cellar, Finding nothing wrong he hasten. ed upstairs and saw firemen of En- gine company 2 carrying chemical ap- paratus to the third floor, A passer by had turned in the alarm. Fol- lowing the firemen Gorham was told that a person had burned to death, In the small room, 10 by § feet, oceupled by Miss Daley, flames had licked the curtains at the lone win- dow, charred the coverings on the white iron bed, and streaked the buff plaster walls black. The door was stripped of its varnish, Close to the window stood the kerosene stove on the floor and béside the stove rested a pot of boiled cabbage, which Miss Daley had been preparing to eat. Mrs. Nathan Gorham was a dis- tant cousin of Miss Daley, who was born in Ireland. Formerly Miss Dal- cy was a dressmaker in New York. She had lived with the Gorhams for the last two and one-half years, Miss Daley lived on the income from pro- perty that she owned at 27 First ave- nue, West Haven. She also possessed a lot adjoining the above property in Second avenue, and had a small sav- ings account in a New York bank. The Gorhams said that several times Miss Daley had been confused while going to visit friends or to shop, and had been escorted back to her room at the Gorhams. It is thought that she may have become dizzy yesterday, and that her cloth- ing had come in contact with the kerosene stove. Nieces of Miss Daley will arrive to- day from New York to take charge of the body. FIND HERMIT DEAD. Attention! Depositors of Savings Bank of New Britain Especially, and All Others Interested!
