The two could not have done better had they conferred about it befoge talking. President Coolidge stated:— “If there is anything which is dear to Americans, which they are bound to preserve at all hazards, it is their independence. T mean by that the privilege of reserving to themselves the choice of their own course apd the decision of their awn actions, We do not propose to intrast to any o of powers, any authority to make up our minds (or us.” Or pOWer. ne esmhinagl Secretary Hughes at Cincinnati made the following statement: “Our people are devoted to the interests of peace. We propose to perform our obligations under our treaties and under interna- tlonal law. We have had & gratifying leadership in promot- ing peaceful settlements. Our ypolicy has established an abiding peace in this hemisphere. But the people 8f this country would never tolerate the submission to any power, or group of powers, of the determination of any of our domestic questions. If we are to cooperate, we must be permitted to cooperate with- out the sacrifice of our right to determine our own policies.” John W. Dafhs quickly the Democratic the and candidate, gauntlet of Secretary Hughes characterized is as a sterile formula which cannot Secretary Hughes at the Washington confer- ence gladly joined with other powers in determining what naval policy we were to pursue, which was a do- mestic policy. Davis pointed out that every treaty is a give and take docu- ment and curtails the sovereignty of the nations participating. Being hound by the League, of Nations would not materially differ in this} respect from the resyits of treaties heretofore made.

SHITH MUCH BETTER —_— New York Governor Now Is Plan- ning To Again Resume His Cam- paign 'For Reelection. New York, Oct. 1l.r— Governor Alfred E. Smith, who returned from Boston last night, today rested in the Biltmore hotel in preparation for starting his reelection campaign next week with an address at One- enta Tuesday evening. The attack of rheumatism which compelicd the cancellation of the governor's tour on behalf of the na- tional democratic ticket has abated, but he decided to favor the trouble- some foot as much as possible be- fore he returns to Albany tomorrow. The governor's first care of the day was to register at the polling place at Henry and Oliver streets on the East Side—his old district. With him went Mrs. Smith and his daughter and sonm, who also regis- tered. This duty done, Governot Smith returned to his headquarters. 1t was said at the headquarterd® today that the pressure of business at the capital required the gover- nor's presence in his offices on Mon- day, and that he would therefore go to Albany tomorrow afternoon, re- maining at his desk until Tuesday afternoon when he will leave for Oneonta to fire the opening gun of his campaign for rcelection. The special train which is to take him and his party on the Central and Western New York tour, will leave New York Tyesday noon, but it was said the governor might motor to Onenta, meeting his train there. FAYORS LONG GRU[SE Secretary Wilbur Calls Proposed Australian Trip Another Link On | Chain of Friendship. Washington, Oct, 11. — Secretary Wilbur today characterized the pro- jected Australian cruise of the American navy as another step “cementing the bonds of friendship petween the two countries.” “Officers and men of the fleet are looking forward with great pleasure to the anticipated trip to Australia, he said, “the department shares in that pleasure and rejoices at the prospect of further cementing the friendship between the two countries by personal contact and friendly intercourse incident to the trip.” Policeman on Duty as New Vaters Are “Made” Because of an aitercation that arose in the corridors of city hall last year when voters were made, the board of selectmen opened their annual session this morning with a policeman on duty near tht common council chamber.

That Erwin will not be the new chairman is practically assured Ly the mayor's stand. The only other democrat is Dr. Joseph H. Walsh, who led the oppdsition to ap- pointing the present superintendent, advocated and voted for a chlef clerk other than the one selected this month, and urged and worked for the election of a third sanitary inspector other than the inspector who was named at the last meeting. His official relations with the retir- ing chairman are not the kind that would be likely to produce the best of feeling should he be tendered the chairmanship. Mayor Paonessa re- gards highly the dictates of Dr. Bray in matters of health and ad- ministration of the department and election of Dr. Walsh would prob- ably be contrary to his wishes. Dr. E. T. Fromen, Republican, ac- cepted th: commissionership only after much deliberation. - Although his attendance record at meetings is excellent, he would probably refuse to become chairman because hé could not afford the time. Dr. M. 8. Dunn is a dentist and on that account is not being con- sidered strongly for the chairman- ship, leaving an apparent open field for Dr. Kinsella. Dr. Kinsella is the wife of Dr. Michael Kinsella and has practiced lier profession here for about 10 vears. She is serving her first term as a member of the board. What ails us?

Boys will be boys, and ice cream is ice cream, until the ice cream man pulls up in front of a house where a party has been arranged for the night, remoyes a container with the delicacy in"it, and places it on the rear veranda, The ice cream then becomes an irresistible tempta- tion and the cause of a hurrled roundup of the *“gang” which pro- ceeds to go into solemn conference. The result of this conference is that after the shades of night haye fallen, stooped figures can be seen weking their stealthy way in the direction of that rear veranda, then a bustling nolse about the container with the noise of falllng ice infer- spersed, and then a wild scamper for the dark recesses again. The ice cream that had become a tempta- tion has now becomé loot, and after the boys have reached their rendez- vous, they proceed to make their loot a part and parcel of their be- ing, sending it the way of all deli- cacles that come within the grasp of a growing healthy boy. In the meantime the party guests have arrived at the house and are enjoying themselves when thelr host announces that refreshments will be served in a few minutes and makes her way to the rear veranda to bring in her ice cream, only to find a tip- ped over bucket with the ice spilled over the veranda, Another confer- ence is then held, this one being participated in by the host and a few of her aids, the result being hurried trips to the nearby store and the purchasing of a new stock of delica- cies for the guests, The refreshments are finally serv- ed and the party goes on, but after the guests have left, a call is made to the police, telling of the disap- pearance of the fce cream. Such a report is entered on the police blot- ter. This s usually the end of the case as well as the ice cream. “Forget-me-not” day will be ob- served in this city on November § when' the public will be asked to help the Disabled American Veter- | ans of the World War provide funds for the assistance of comrddes who cannot help themselves.

MACHINES T | Tudge Rules La Foetts Blectrs May Have Two Columns Albany, N. Y, Oct. 11.—Despite the fact that the names of candl- dates are identical in both parties, La Follette and soclalist candidates for presidential electors are entitled 1o single columns or rows on the voting machine as well as upon the paper ballot, Attorney General Carl The opinion had been sought by Sccretary of State James A. Hamil- ton, with a request for information as to the arrangement of the names of La Follette and soclalist candi- dates, ‘Under certain provisions of the election law, it. was said. it would seem the La Follette party was en- titled only to have its emblem placed at the head of the column or row of the socialist party because of the same {dentity of its elector candi- dates. The attorney general, how- ever, based his opinion upon a de- cree of the state court of appeals which held a former provision of the election law providing the “name of a candidate shall not appear more thqn once on the ballot as a candi- date for the same public oftice” 1is an unreasonable restriction upon freedom of voting and a violation of the fundamental law. Present provisions of election law affecting independent parties the a torney general declared, are substan- tially the same as those declared in- valid by the court of appeals. The officlal ruling said: “The names of the candidates tor presidential electors nominated by the soclalist party ahd by the pro- gressive party should be placed upon the voting machine ballot in sep- arate rows of columns under or in connection with the proper party name and emblem. “The fact that the candidates for presidential electors nominated by these two organizations are identieal does not change the rule that in the arraigement of ballots there must be no unjust discrimination between electors i the facility afforded them for casting their votes for the can- didates of their choice.” INCREASE IN CAMP CHARGE. An increase of §1 a week in the amount charged for each boy . at the New Britain Boy Scout camp will be necessary next year, accord- ing to the report of the committee on camping made last night by Chafrman E. L. Warren. During the past year the charge was $7 a week, but the cost of leadership, food, and preparation was $7.63 per boy, not including the cost of new buildings or hiring. the camp site. The committee feels that the coun- cil should at least break even on the boys who attend camp, so the charge will be increased to $8 fo 1925, The attendance .during the pa: | vear increased 40 per cent and f' | camp was a gratifying improvem: over those of previous years, but th committee recommended that step he taken to secure a site even more favorable and still better suited to |a scout camp. New Britain Boy Scouts will again {have an opportunity to witness the Yale-Brown game this year as in past years, an {invitation being re. celved yesterday from the New Ha- ven scout council.

FRANK CRANE'S DAILY EDITORIAL ” in 1923, Twelve persons were kill- ed and hundreds injured while thousands of dollars’ worth of auto- mobiles and other property was bad- ly damaged. * Multiply these figures by the num- ber of trolley lines operated in New England alone, and we have an ap- palling Mst, 76 per cent of which is needless. Trolley cars are met in overy city and also on hundreds of the main roads leading into the sub- urbs and- country districts. Many of them traver up to 40 miles per hour and offer an element of danger of too serious a nature for motorists to regard with undlfsturbed fear. Cross streets in the country, curves and where trolley tracks change from one side of the street to the opposite are danger spots to be guarded against by the exercise of particular care, for a meeting with one under any of the conditions ramed means a serious mishap. With motor travel at its height at the present time, the limit of care Is of the utmost imporance. ‘While the majority of serious col- lisions take place in daylight and dangerous thing.” Miss Sweet:—"“Well, at least you know that much.” ~Morton Pels. in cities at street intersections, many due to the biinding of motorists by the strong lights used on many inter- Alienist Testimony By DR.
