BULNELEY STADIUM | e coses ms oo THRONGS IN OMAHA FOR 1.5, CONTEST Hartlord and New Britain High Grid Game Arranged Bulkeley stadium in Hartford will be the acene of the annual Hartford Public High-New Britain High school game on November 24 in preference to the Velodrome in East Hartford, unless the present plans ot the athletic authorities of both schools are changed. This decision was arived at in a meeting between Principal Louis F. £lade and Comptroller Newell 8. Ames of the Senior High school and | Dr. Fox, who represented Hartford. It was decided to allot 1,400 student tickets to take care of the pupils at the Scnior High and two Jjunior high schools in New Britain. Tickets to care for junior high school pupils have never been al- lotted before. Hartford in turn will be allowed enough tickets to take care of its thrce high schools. Accommodations will be made for over 10,000 persons. Although the capacity of Bulkeley stadium, which was formerly Clarkin field, is not quite that number, the park board of Hartford has consented to allow the use of 2,500 seats about the field. As was the case last year students tickets and tickets for reserved seats will be sold at the school and prob- ably at several other places about the city, STORM NOT SOBAD INTHE BAHANAS No Loss of Life Occurred 8 Yet Nassau, New Providence Island, Bahamas B.

Canon Gooding said: “In my opinion, a good, healthy ‘damn’ is much better than contin- uous grumbling. 1 object to stupid, ugly swearing, but “damn’ relcases the emotion and eases the feelings. “The late President Wilson's ‘tut- tut’ sounds most impractical to me.

SMITH (Continued frem' First Page) had_sought engagements to report to the party leader on conditions in the state, Smith’s address set for 9 o'clock Central Standard time in auditorium will be the first formal political speech the democratic presidential nominee has delivered since his notification nearly a month ago at Albany. In it he announced he would treat the agricultural question more exhaustively than he did in his speech of acceptance and probably amplify his position on the surplus crop problem. Nolsy Celebration After a noisy celebration in his honor in the train yards of west side Chicago last night where several party leaders took the opporunity to report bright prospects for him in Illinois and Wisconsin in Novem- ber, Governor Smith listened in on one of the trains three radio sets, put the finishing touches on a rough outline of his farm speech, and re- tired. The remainder of the jour- ney to Omaha was through northern | Illinois and the heart of Towa, Her-| bert Hoover's native state and one which Smith managers see little hope of carrying in the presidential contest, A crowd which stayed up late to give the democratic nomince a wel- come to lowa routed him from bed after his train had crossed the Mis- sissippi and come to a halt just be- fore midnight at the station in Clin- ton, the first stop after the suburbs of Chicago. The two rear cars of the campaign spectul, occupied by the governor and those in his im- mediate party, were dark, indicating that all had retired, but cheers from the platform, and the sounding of automobile horas brought a flashing on of lights. On Platform In a minute or two Governor Smith wds out on the rear platform, an overcoat over his pajamas, and his brown derby affotding him pro- tection from the chilly night air. His appearance set the crowd off on another wave of cheers, as he leaned over to shake hands with a number of persons who wished him luck. Mrs. Smith waved greetings from a car window. Although his farm speech will be given out in advance to newspapers the governor in accordance with previously announced plans will speak extemporaneously and prob- ably follow only the general ideus laid down in the rough draft which was prepared principally for news- papermen who made early morning editions to catch in the east. This policy will be more or less followed in his five other set speeches during the two weeks' tour at Oklahoma City, Denver, Helena, St. Paul and Milwaukee, George N. Peek, of Moline, I, chairman of the farm committee of 22 from the corn belt, was aboard the *“Smith-Robinson spectal” hav- ing entrained last night during the yover in the Chicago railroad yards, He planned to leave the party after the speech tonight. With Peek when he boarded the train were six other Smith adher- ents including Thomas Denovan, Illinois national committeeman. He gave the governor some favorable reports on the political trends in lllinois, Senator Wagner of New York, political associate of Smith's told him that Wisconsin, where he has been doing some organizing, was as good as won. There was little | doubt, the govcernor was informed, that the Badger state carried by L Follette four years ago would go! democratic on the national ticket. Donovan who also is chairman of | the Illinois democratic state commit- tee gave assurance that Illinois nor- | tion sonal greeting and the Jam became #0 rough at one time that it looked as if the governor would be pulled oyer the rall, A burly policeman after a filock ot youngsters who were acrambling for Smith-Robinson campaign but- tons being flung from the train, picked dozens of the more aggres- sive button chasers from the tail end steps as if he were picking ber- vies from a bush. The governor plainly showed that he enjoyed the show particularly when he received a cigar from John J. Denny who used to live and play in the Smitn neighborhood years ago -on New York's East Side. Schedule Changed Phe overnight ride to the Mis- souri river crossing at Council Bluffs was uneventful except for the wel- come extended. A change in schedule announced last night calls for departure from Omaha Wednesday morning for Oklahoma City at 9:30 a. m., instead of 10 o'clock. Two Clubs Interested In Amateur Ring Shows The license committee of the common council will meet next Tuesday evening at city hall to dis- cuss’ the amateur boxing situation in the city. The Mohawk A. C. has already been granted a permit by the committee to conduct indoor and outdoor exhibitions, and last night the owners of the Stanley Arena were heard on their petition for a similar permit. Action was deferred pendfng an inquiry intended to show whether or not two clubs should be allowed to operate. Clarence F. Lanpher, Jr., who has successfully promoted professional basketball in this city for several seasons, was granted a permit to operate on Wednesday and Saturday nights from November 1 to May 1.1 1t is his intention to have a New Britain team in a state league for girls, playing at home Wednesdays, and the usual Saturday night at- traction of professionals. Suit Is Entered to Settle Up an Estate Mrs. Joseph G. Woods of 135 Columbia street, wife of Prosecutor Joseph G. Wobds, is one of the de- fendants named in a superior court action in which Truman D. Cowles secks to collect the one-eighth in- terest which his deceased wife, Mrs. Margaret Curry Cowles, had in the trust estate of Thomas Curry, late of Hartford.

SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO LARGE FITCH-JONES CO. young | UNRAINAN CHURCH HAS NEW LEADER Rer. Busll Hrivmak Bocomes Pastor in This Gty For the firat time since the sudden and somewhat mysterious disgppears ance of Rev. Dennis Kulsatycky early last spring, when he left the Ukrainian Greek Catholic chureh of St. Mary's Immaculate Conception on Winter street without notice, parishioners of that church have se- aured the services of a priest. { Rev. Basil Hrivnak, arrived Sat- urday, and celebrated his first mass as an independent priest on Sunday in the Ukrainian church on Winter street, being the first priest to hold services In the mow independent church since Rev. Father Kulmaty- cky's departure. Rev. Father Hrivnak comes to his |new parish from the far off plains f North Dakota, where for five years he perforqed his duty as | spiritual leader to a large oongrega- tion on the western farmlands, where his nearest church neighbor was nearly 600 miles away. Some time ago he asked the bishop for a {transfer because of his failing |health—the raw climate of the plains not agreeing with him. He waited, but never received an answer until finally he decided to go to Philadelphia and make a personal plea. Upon his arrival, the bishep advised him to wait a few days un- til he could make a study of the dif- ferent parishes in need of a priest. { Rev. Father Hrivhak moved to a hotel and for three weeks he re- ceived no word from the biship. {Then he saw a notice in:.a news- paper stating that the New Britain parish was seeking the rervices of an independent priest and without giv- ing the matter a second thought communicated with the corporation, with the result that his services were engaged. Rev. Father Hrivnak is about §7 years old and prior to his engage- ment in North Dakota, held pastor- ates in Minneapolis and in Pennsyl- vania. He was educated in Rome, Italy. In explaining the word “in- dependent,” Rev. Father Hrivnak stated that the church of which he is now pastor is not independent of Rome and that it broke away only from the head of the church in America only as a protest against the bishop's alleged unconcerned at- titude towards the Ukrainian people. In other words it is independent of all jrisdiction of Bishop Bochachev- sky, - but the Church of Rome still retains its rights as far as governing the affairs of the Catholic religion is concerned. The church recently went into the hands of a new corporation ut whose head is Nikofon Nostin, after the bishop failed to rvédeem the property which was foreclosed by the Commercial Trust Co., Wwhich held a mortgage note for $4,000 against it. After the date of redemp- tion passed, the parishioners with the cooperation of the bank: heads, came into possession of the prop- The congregation is a compara- tively lurge one in this part cf the country and the parish conducts & sachool for its children every day“in the week after the regular sessions in the public schools.

The front end of the car was almost demolished in the im- pact. Had it not been for the quick work on the part of Moterman Harry Lang in putting the trolley into reverse and backing it & few feet, the train would have crashed into the center of the car which was occupled by about 20 passengers.

TELL OF HORRORS IN FLORIDA (Continued from First Page) Other passengers told the United Press that they could see houses scattered about in Palm Beach in almosts unbellevable shapes. Per- sons who met the train at the Palm Beach station said West Palm Beach had been almost levelled. Flood waters poured in on the shattered bulldings, and groups of refugees could be seen milling in the streets, the passengers said. “As we traveled north,” Hilliard said, “it was plain to see that the damage had been extensive. There was much water everywhere from the heavy rains which accompanied the hurricane.” ‘W. J.
