Congressman_Mahan, when he was told in New London by a railroad employe that the Hartford lodge of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen had passed resolutions at a recent meeting condemning. his stand on the literacy test in the immigration bill, and op- posing his candidacy for senator on that account, said he took the same ground as President Wilson in oppos- ing_the literacy test. He said: “I as sorry that the members of this organization do not regard the literacy test and the necessity for its elimination in the same light in which many members of congress, including mysel?, did. I cay only repeat that I share the views of President Wilson on, this most important subject. Per- haps it is sufficient to suggest that had there been a literacy test established say a guarter of a century ago, the fathers of many of those now protest- ing against it would never have been able to enter this country. I believe that the record of good citizenship that has been attained in_years past by those who when they first came to the United State§ could neither read nor write, {s answer enough to any argu- ment in favor of a literacy test as an essental to immigration.” OBITUARY. = Mrs. Charles H.

The 20 schools under town manage- ment, which opened their sessions for the year on Wednesday, have a total Tegistration at the start of 3,115 pu- pils. according to figures compiled by Superintendent Edwin J. Graham. Last year on September 30th, there were 3,221 pupils in the schools, but the smaller number this year can be ac- counted for by the elimination of the ninth grade which has been accom- plithed in the last two years and which had 138 pupils two yvears ago. Those pupils who under former condi- tions would have been in the ninth grade, have now been graduated’ and have gone forward to the Academy so that there is one grade less to count since the schools have been placed,on an_eight grade basis. The three largest schools this year are Greeneville with 431 pulips, Broad- way with 417, and Mt. Pleasant Street with 383. The three smallest are Scot- land Road with 20, Bast Great Plain with 32 and Yantic with 43, 3 The registration for this year by schools is as follows: Broadway 417, Boswell Avenue 85, Broad Street 174, Greeneville 431, Mt. Pleasant 383, High Street 237, West Town Street 101, Wequonock 191, Pearl Street 135, Occum 143, Town Street 120, Hobart Avenue 107, Laurel Hill 113, Falls 109, West Thames Street 140, Bridge 78, Long Society 56, Yantic 43, East Great Plain 37, Scotland Road Sixth Grade at Laurel Hill. Due to the crowding in the sixth grade at Broadway school, a similar grade has been started in the Laurel Hill_school, where before there were but five grades. No more teachers will be_required as the work will be di- vided among the present staff, each teacher having two grades. This ar- rangement will relieve the conditions at Broadway as sixth grade Laurel Hill pupils will go to the school in their own neighborhood. Small West Thames Street First Grade In the first grade at West Thames street _there are only 35 enrolled this year, where last year there were about 50, and two teachers were needed. Thig year only one teacher will be needed so that it will not be meces- sary to fill the place of Miss Mary Young, who recently resigned. Miss May I. Graham will have charge of the_ grade. Change in Greeneville. In the Greeneville school, due to the change in promotions, the enroll- ment in the seventh and eightrh grades has been greatly increased. Last year in these two grades there were about 48 pupils. This year there are 79 at present. This change in promotion conditions will bring about the grad- vation of a great many more pupils from the eighth grade than in former years, and because of this increase in registration an extra teacher has been placed in the grammar department. She is Miss Catherine Coughlin, who for- merly taught the sixth grade. Conference with Principals. Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock, Su- perintendent Graham met the princi- pals of all the buildings at the Broad- way school and discussed with them several matters pertaining to organi- zation and administration, The sub- ject of home study. was taken up and the superintendent advocdted that there should be little or no home study required of the first five grades. In the 6th, 7th and 8th grades a mini- mum of one hours time should be spent in home work. Another subject discussed was that of detaining pupils after 4 o'clock in the afternoon and he gave it as, his opinion that only for special reasons of some nature should pupils be re- quired to remain in the room after 4 o'clock. Methods for spelling, arithmetic, penmanship and English were also among the subjects discussed. FAIR GROUNDS DANCER WAS LEFT STRANDED Thelma's Manager Decamped After the Act was Broken Up. Thelma, who is better known among theatrica] folks as Millie Margina, and who became involved in the rumpus at the Fairgrounds on Labor day aft- ernoon, when a crowd of some 150 people who had paid their dimes at the ticket stand were turned out of the tent in which she was to have performed without getting anywhere near their money’s worth made a statement to a Bulletin representa- tive on Friday night in which she ex- onerates herself »f blame, and bitterly denounces her manager, who she say decamped anq_left her _complete stranded with Ter small son among, stronoers. Millie Margina claims that she is a prozessional dancer and was perefectly willing to_perform if only the mana- ger had allowed Her to, and she says that the blame {hat has been ‘Dif on her shoulders for failure to appear is vriust. According to her story . she was engaged by the manager who tu.e s name as N. C. King of New Britain in_ response to an advertise- ment which she had inserted in one of the leading theatrical papers and that she was to received a perceentage on the ticket money. With her she had a young lady of nineteen years, who had been irtrusted in her ‘care and who was to have appeared in her act as a living picture. It was agreed between she and King that he would engage thelr services for the fair season and that afterward he was to organize a show and go south. On_Labor Day the opening day of the New London County falr, ~she gave one show alone successfully as the young lady who was to have ap- d with her refused to stay and 8s_she had no money had to be pro- vided with funds by the local police so0 that she might return to New York. The tickets were sold for the second show and the audience was all seated for the performance but she was not allowed to dance for some' reason, which is not yet clear to her. Then the manager stuck his head in the tent with the information that the show was all off. The dancer told the people to go to the ticket agegt and get back thelr money which they at once procecded to do leaving the tent in a grand rush. She then slipped out under the tent, at the rear side, and manager t6 demand an explanation was just going on a search for him ‘when she was gathered in by a police- man as an accessory to the game which the manager was playing. She was then takén to the police station with the manager in an automobile.At the police station she told the ser- geant that she had not been allowed to dance and the manager in turn told tna police official that she had refused to dance. Matters were straightened out and she was scon given her free- dom. As she was without money she asked King for funds but he said he ‘had no money as the receipts had been turned over to the fair secretary. At the police headquarters King gave the neme of King McNamee. It was agreed between the two that it she should telegraph for her hus- band and that he took charge. she would continue to perform at the grounds. Accordingly the husband who is @ whirling dervish and who was appearing elsewhere was tele- sraphed for and he came on to Nor- wich. King, who also had charge of the diving_girl and boy in another tent, refused to let them give exhibitions and on Tuesday he disappeared with both tents, Thelh says. A _tele- gram was received from him Thurs- day stating that he would return to this_city and straighten out matters on Friday, but the dancer and her husband are still waiting for him. They with their son Eugene, who is with himat 18 Union streetintend to return to New York today (Saturday). Host to County Commissioners. Landlord Selden B.

Lyon, His Niece, Dismissed, At a hearing in the probate court on Friday morning before Judge Nel- son J. Ayling, there came up the mat- ter of the appointment of a conservator for Sherman Loomis of Franklin and for his niece, Miss Mary N. Lyon, who has been housekeeper for Mr. Loomis, who i3 her uncle. The petitioner was Charles Loomis of Hartford, who is a brother of Sherman Loomis, Sherman Loomis is reputed to be worth $45,000 and Miss Lyon has about $22,000 in the bank. The petitioner was represented by Attorney Willlam H, Shields, while Attorn Amos A. Browning repre- sented Lyon. There was no opposition to the ap- pointment of a conservator for Mr. Loomis, who is 91 years old and is in impaired health. ~Charles Loomis, the petitioner, did not appear. and has not visited his brother in five years past. His petition, it is understood. was based on letters and on stories which gave him an impression quite different from the actual facts. Judge Ayling decided to make Hen- ry Bellows conservator of Mr. Loomis and bonds were fixed at $5000 and were provided. A new man will be engaged to look after the farm. The application for a conservator for Miss Lyon was dismissed by the court and the woman will continue to live with her uncle. There was no feeling in the matter: as Miss Lyon took the conservator and ‘witnesses out to dinner. Miss Lyon was the only witness ex- amined on her own case and she tes- tified to her oversight of the farm and the caré of Mr. Loomis. She made a good witness for herself and show- ed that she is capable of looking after her own affairs. One of her bank ac- counts showed that ii had tripled in the last 21 years from accumulated interest as nothing had been drawn from it. OBELISK at old price.
