The Bulletin's Girculation in Norwich is' Double That of Any Other Paper, ~and DECISIVE DEFEAT OF RECIPROCITY Conservatives Score an Overwhelming Vic- tory In the Canadian Elections RETIREMENT OF LAURIER RESULTS Announced During Campaign That Defeat of His Party Meant End of His Public Career—Fear of Ann:xation Responsible For Landslide In Ontario—Victors Pledged to Closed Door Montreal. Sept. 21.—The Laurier ernment and reciprocity suffered en overwhelming defeat in the Cana- dian elections held today. By a verit- e political landslide the liberal ma- v of 43 was swept away, and the servative party secured one of the heaviest majorities, upward of fft 15t any Canadian party has ever had, ven cabinet ministers who served with Premier Laurler were among the cefeated candidates. Liberals Lest Ground Everywhers. The libernls lost ground in practi- eal every province of the Dominion. Where they won their majorities wers Where the conservatives won their majorities were tremendous. On- tario, the leading province of Candda, ceclared almost upanimously against the aéministration and against reci- yprocity. Robert L. Borden, leader of the conservative party, will shortly oe- ome the prime minister of Canada He will be supported in parliament by a working majority far more than am- ple for his purpose. Means Closed Door to United States. The government defeat means that the Flelding-Knox reciprocity agree- ment, ratified the American con- Eress in extra session, Will not be -in- troduced when the Twelfth parliament ®essembles next month and that a re- | vised basis of trade with the United States, looking to closer commercial relations, will not be ossible in the immediate future. The' copservatives | are committed to a policy of trade ex- pansion within the empire and @ cldsed door against the United States. Means Retirement of Laurier. Although re-elected in two constitu- encies in Quebec, the defeat of the lib- rarty also meams the retirement from puslic iife of Sir Wiifrid Lfur- Ser, who for nearly two decades has directed the destinies of the Dominion. Beveral times during the bitter cam- yaign which precedfd today’s election the ble premier said that de- feat of Bis party at the polls meant the end of his career; that he would never consent to lead a minority in opposition to a conservative govern- ment, Ontario Feared Annexation. A liberal membership of 53 from Quebse was cut down to 36, which taken alome, seriously threatened the supremaey of the party. But it was in Cmtario that the conservatives won thelr greatest victories. Spurred on by appeals to patriotism and the cry that reelproeit was -the entering wedge for annexetion, the conserva- tives swept meariv evervthing before them. That province, which in the last pariiament was represented by 35 lib- erals and 51 conservatives. will send @ delegation to the next composed of 13 liberals and 75 conservatives. A no- Policy Against United States table feature of the defeat was the opposition's capture of two hitherto liberal seats in Saskatchewan. Results of the Poll.

Laurier Philosophical. “There is no doubt bmt that we have been decisively defeated,” said Sir Wilfrid Laurier, early in the evening at Quebec, to a group “of friends who had gathered with him to hear.the returns, “I gladly lay down the pre- Jniership, a burden which 1 have car- Tied for fifteen years. We believe that in making_ the reciprocity ar- rangement we had done something which would be greatly to the benefit | of the people of Canada. The electors have declared otherwise and I bow to their decision. I regret that we have been unable to carry reciprocity, which T still believe would have pro- ! :noted the material advancement of | Canada, and would have promoted the growing friendship between the Unit- ed States and Great Britain. Howe er, the country has spoken. We mus bow to the inevitable, and I cheerfull do g0.” Taft Greatly Disappointed. Kalamazoo, Mich, Sept. 22.—Presi dent Taft said af the banquet today “I have just been informed that rec- iprocity has failed in Canada. For me it is a' great disappointment. 1 had hoped that it would be put through to prove the correctness of my judg- ment that it would be a good thing for_both countries. “It takes {wo to make a bargain and if Canada declines we can stiil go on doing business at the old stand.” 8plit Even in Nova Scotia. Halifax, N. S, Sept. 21.—After the hottest pelitical fight in the history of Nova Scotia, the two parties split |'wanting to do heroic even on the question of reciprocity, the liberdls electing nine members and the conservatives mine in today’s gen- eral elections for the Dominion par- liament. The congervatives made good gains, capturing three seats held by the liberals in the last house. Two cabinet. ministers went down to de- feat. WESTERLY LANDMARK REDUCED TO ASHES almer Street School Building Gutted by Fir Oid (Special to The Bulletin.) Westerly, Sept. 21.—The old Palmen streat school building, a landmark on the west side of the city for the past v vears, was totally destroved by fire this evening. For the past ten years tne bulding was unoccupied, on account of the opening of the new West Broad street school building. Seven vears ago tiie property was pur- chased by the Lorraine Manufacturing compeny, who own considerable ad- ent property. The company did not ccupy the building. The fire originated in the center of the bullding and when discovered at €1 by William Donahue, a resident of the neighborhood, had aiready got 3 mood start. P. 8 Barber hose com- pany, the only company on the West Side, responded and soon had four streams on the fire, but the firemen were unable to save the structure. The arge tower in whic his located a clock that has served the public for the past twenty-five yea fell through the bull@ing with a crash and at 11 o'clock hing remained but the ashes. The building was a three-story wooden structure, 2nd the flames made short work of it. A lirge crowd was at- tracted by the illumination. The loss 4= fully covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as it cvidently started near the center of the building in the basement. WOULD ABOLISH FREE SEED DISTRIBUTION.

Danbury, Sept. 21.—Yesterday being the Italian Independence day, August Mangani, of the Italian banking firm of Mangani Brothers, took an Ameri- can flag and an Italian flag and sus- pended them overthe sidewalk in front of the banking house on White streef. The flags were hung horizontally, on a rope extendine from the store to a telegraph pole, and were so arranged that their heads faced each other. The Italian flag was nearest the street. Special Policeman George P Read came along and ordered Mangani to change the pesition of the flags, tell- ing him that he was insulting the Stars. and Stripes by hanging the Italian flag nearest the street. When Man- gani hesitated, Policeman Read got a step ladder and vanked the Italian flag down. The Mangani brothers are in- dignant at the insult offered their flag sent a letter to Italian Consul Rissio in New Haven, telling him of the policeman’s insult to the Italian flag and requesting him to take action i, the matter. Although T was born in Ttaly, I love the American flag very much. Mr. Mangani said, “and certainly did not inténd any discourtesy to it. I was careful in arranging the two flags and meant thelr arrangement to show the good feeling between the - two countries.” GIPLS’ CLUB ADJOURNS TO CONDUCT A SCRAP Ten Members of Harlem Sunshine So- ciety Locked up in Cell New York, Sept. 21.—Disagreement during a discussion of winter clothes led the members of the Harlem Sun- shine society, a girls’ club in the up- per section of the city, to adjourn their meeting and fight out their dif- ferences in Morningside park. It took six policemen to separate the strug- gling, squéaling combatants. Today in Harlem police court the president of the society, Miss Kitty Schnader, accused Miss Edna Hall of cutting her with a safety razor blade in the melee, and the latter was held in $1,500 ball on an assault charge. Nine other members who had spent the lat- ter part of the night in cells, were released. Policemar Dennis Sullivan, who first reached the scene, ran for help before attempting to arrest the clubwomen. “I wouldn’t have gone into that mob of girlg for anything in this world,” he told the magistrate later.

Trenton, N, J., Sept. 21—Dr. George B. Wight, 'state commissioner of chari- ties and’ corrections, said yesterday that he is convinced that moving pic- ture shows and similar forms,of amuse- Tcents are having a_baneful influence upon the youth of New Jersey. _For a number of yVears there has been a gradual decrease in the average age of boys committed to the state home at Janesburs. An investigation Tias been made, with the Tesult that Dr. Wight is now cénvinced that the Wild West and other sensational forms of picture drama-ave responsible for many younig boys going wrong. Sixteen years is the maximum age at which boys may be committed to the home, OF the 501 inmates at the | home, 6 were committed at the age of | 9, 47 at the age of 10. 86 at the age of 11, 88 at the age of 12, 76 at the of age of 13, 89 at the age of 14, 88 at the 1 and 8 at the age of 16. Consulting the records of former ears, Dr. Wight confirmed his suspi- cicns’ that there had been a gradual reduction in the age of commitments. Dr. Wight said last night: “I ‘am heartily in favor of moving pictures from an edueational stand- point, and other proper amusements, but when the morals of the youthful moving picture patrons are at stake'I| denounce the indecent films. One of the bést agencies for education is through the illustrated moving picture film. There i8 no better opportunily offered a youth or grown-up person than shown in respectable moving pic- ture shows. I myself frequently take | my nephew. who is hardly in his teens, to these exhibitions. You see that.by my attendance I am in sympathy with the pictures. “Boys get Wild West notions, and. deeds, which hampers and preys upon their minds. and the consequence is that some rash deed is committed that would not have happened if the precaution of stop- ping such pictures were taken.” Dr. Wight said when he heard of the efforts being made against the:exhi- bition of the Beattie trial, said he was more than glad to know that the offi- cals of some cities were awakening to battle with a difficult problem. He added: “My idea of establishing a censor- ship would be to put the responsibility of adjudging the moral and immoral movirde pictures on the shoulders of the municipal government. For exam- ple, T would suggest that the chief of police or any head of a city be em- powered to pass or reject films submit- ted to him. This idea would be less expensive and would have little bother attached. “The law requirine_ children to at- tain the age of 16 hefore they are al lowed admission to an _amusement Pouse is one of the best that ever has been enacted. This Is one of the steps in the right direction to prevent crime coming from the influence of the moy- ing picture film " In' conclusion,,Dr. Wight emphatic- ally stated that he did not want to be represented as one against the pro= duction of movipg pictures, but he wanted to be known as a staunch sup- porter of pure and decent films. POLISH YOUTH ADMITS SETTING OFF BOMBS Says, He Did It Because He Is Fond of Big Noises. New York, ‘Sept. 21.—The arrest to- day of Walter Mikoluejki, a Polish youth, 18, is thought to have cleared up the mystery surrounding several recent bomb explosions here.

THE CASES NOW NUMBER 182 Effort to Be Made to Secure State Armory for a Temporary Hospital— Naugatuck Bars Torrington Milk. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 21.—Analyses of the watér supply of Torrington shows that it has been contaminated to a considerable extent and the colon baccilli or typhoid germ, has been found to be present to a considerable extent. The tests made are mot con- clusive, but_they point o the source of infection. The state board of health through the local health authorities i1 continuing its inquiry into the typhoid epidemic there. 34 Patients Had Used W. In a canvass made of the city it was found that where 35 persons.were ilf 34 had been nsing the borough water supply, and the other patient worked in a factory where the borough supply was used for drinking purposes. This fact, combined with the first analysis made of the waler, appeared to indi- cate the probable source of infection. Water Contaminated by Refu The water showed tha it had been contaminated with a great deal of refuse. This is attributed to_the fact that the recent heavy. rains, following an extremely dry spell, when the earth had been hardened by the heat, had washed much surface debris into the water coursss which supplied the res- ervoirs. The tests fail to show wheth- er the typhoid germs came from hu- mans or animals. Danger Believed to Be About Over. Expert opinion is that the danger is about over, as the water courses have been cleared and the typhoid germ Joses its vitality after a certain length of time. The inquiry and tests of water and milk are continuing and un- til they are completed the actual source of infection will not be deter- mined beyond question. The presence of the spécific germ among other bac- teria to a noticeable extent raises the presumption in the minds of the bac- teriologists that the water supply might have been the cause of the epi- demic at Torrington; Want Armory for Hospital. Torrington, Conn., Sept. 21.—A meet- ing of the committee having in hand the establishing of a temporary hos- pital at a meeting tonight decided to try and secure the new armory, and 4 delegation will ask permission from Gov, Baldwin tomorrow.

New York, Sept. 21.—The conquest of the Atlantic, the most ambitious exploit yvet undertaken by an aviator, is_contemplated by a Danish airman, who describes his plans in_a letter to he published tomorrow in the Nord Lyset, a Danish newspaper published in Brooklyn. This aviator writes that he has “enlisted the necessary finan- cial aid and made arrangements to fly mext spring from Copenhagen to New York, resting only at London and Queenstown, and upon ships stationed at intervals across the North sea and the Atlantic ocean. At the aviator's request his name is withheld from publication at _this time. He says that he has the aid of English and American capital and will use a biplane of American manufac- ture. One steamship will be stationed in the middle of the North sea and six cthers will be strung out across the Atlantic at intervals of 790 kilo- meters, or approximately 490 miles. He expects to ‘fly at the rate of ninety kilometers or about 56 miles an hour. The steamers will be equipped with landing stages and apparatus for gen- erating a wireless current which will supnlement gasoline as motive power for his engines, thus enabling him, he hopes, to make continuous flights of unpercenedted" length. By the same means he expects to communicate with the auxiliary ships by wireless telegraphy. S In case of accident the Danish air- man believed he can motify the near- est ship of his plight and then by means of pontoons with which his bi- plane is equipped keep afloat until Tescued. The precise date for starting the flight has not been settled. KILLED BY ELEVATOR IN A BRIDGEPORT HOTEL New York Man Attempted to Get On After !t Had Started.

DEADLOCK ON JUUGESHIP Housé Stands by Hoyt and Senate Fa- vors Webb—House Balked at Friday Session—Special Session Probable. Hartford, Conn,, Sept, 21.—The gen- eral assembly will probably adjourn sine die an Tuesday, the hour not fix- { ed. The house would not agree with | the ‘Senate to come in fomorrow and complete business. When the adjourn. ment was taken this afternoon the | New Haven judseship matter was still in the “air” between the two branches. Never Such Condition” Before. it is the opinfon generally held by the legislators that never before had such a condition been produced in re- Jation to the appointment of a mem- ber of the judiciar: House Stands by Hoyt. _When the house opened, the ques- tion came up on the disposition of a senate resolution on_which was the name of Howard C. Webb. THe body yoted to adhere in its action in favor | of Samuel E. Hoyt. In the senate on the motion of Senator Woodruff a con- ference was sought with the house, Senator Marsden being named. Resolution Mysteriously Disappears. A Webb resolution which was befora the body was tabled. The conference was to be on the house resolution. Sen- ator Marsden reported that as: the house had adhered on the name of Mr. Hoyt there could be no conference. Mr. Woodruff then moved that the senite recede and concur with the house in the choicc of Mr. Hoyt. The clerk could not find the resolution and @ recess was taken. The document had ‘mysteriously diappeared. Senate Vote Favors Webb. After recess the resolution had show- ed up. It was said in the corridors that it was in some one's pocket. A conference had been held by Webb men to plan a new way of getting action. When the resolution appeared on the clerx’'s desk the question came on receding and concurring with the house in the choice of Mr. Ho; The vote showed a tie at 12. In moving to vote, Senator Donovan had said that there was a chance for an agreement between the two branches. Lieutenant Gpvernor Blakeslee said that taking netice of what ihe senatér from the 25th had said, he would dissolve the tie by voting not to recede. This left the senate still in favor of Webb. Unanimous Vote for Webb. Senator Donovan had this resolution tabled and then called off the table another regolution ' in fayvor of Mr. ‘Webb and asked for its passage. Sen- ator Dickerman did not understand the motion, and when the vote was taken it was found that sixteen sen- ators had voted for this Webb, resolu- tion and none against. This took some senators by surprise. A motion was passed to send the resolution over to the house. ~This was done, but the house adjourned before it could be brought up. The democratic members in both branches had voted almost £olidly for the Webb resolutions. The house has voted three times against Webb in the past two days. T Bé Thrashed Out Tussday. On the vote to adhere on the original Hoyt resolution in the morning the vote stood 75 to 70. This matter wiil be contested again Tuesday. New Connecticut River Company Bill. In the closing moments of the house session Representative Kelly of Wind- sor Locks prevailed upon the house to admit under suspension of the rules a new .bill for a charter for the Con- necticut River company, and it was ordered printed. Mr. Kelly said that except for the fact that it carried no franchise tax to the state the governor favored the bill. A short time before the senate had refused to receive & new bill on this matter offered by Sen- ato- Hooker. House Against Friday Session. The senate wished to adjourn for good tomorrow, but house members were adverse to holding a Friday ses- sion. The ‘belief is general that as there are only the judgeship and Con- necticut ricer matters to he disposed of, business can be finished Tuesday. As the house sustained the governor's veto on the bread iill this did not go to the senate. , Possibility of Special Session. The propesition to equalize the sen- atorial districts was indefinitely post- | poned in the house, 84 to 48. There re- mains the impression, based on a let- ter sent by the governor to Represent- ative Stevens of Berlin, that a special session may be called to make the re- apportionment in this regard.
