The vote on a motion approving the act- tons of.the labor,members~of the governiment-showed a large ~majority in its favor, the affirmative vote be- ing 1,405,000. . A second .motion de- claring that the best interests of the nation demanded that they remain in office was adopted by a majority of 1,- 127,000. f The aélegates “itook domparatively little interest in_today’s . proceedings; the discussion of the.previous . two days of the conference having. shown Berlin, Jan. 29.—(By wireless to Say- ville) —Freiburg was bombarded at ten o'clock last night by two hostile aero- planes which dropped five bombs on the town, according to reports re- ceived and given out here by the Over- seas News Agency. There were no casualties. Some damage was caused, the ex- tent of which is not stated in the re- ports so far .to hand. The city theater, because of the cel- ebrations attending the emperor's birthday, was crowded but the audi- ence remained calmly inside the build- ing until the raid was over. Joint Meeting of School Board cision—Adjourns to Next sion—TmCondethHe Believes Failure to Carry Out Inspection Will Lose State School Money. A two hour discussion during which the question was looked at from every point of view was held on Friday aft- ernoon at the joint meeting of the town school selectmen and Town Counsel H. H. Pettis, before whom the question of medical inspec- sion. m n at 3.30 af the office of School Superintendent E. J. Graham. At the end of the time they had reached no conclusion except !0 ‘hold another meeting next Tuesday after- noon at 3.30 at Superintendent Gra- ham’s office when the discussion will be taken up again. The town school committee ir,also to hold a meeting of its own ©n Monday to discuss the situation. School Committee Chairman Charles O. Murphy presided and all the mem- bers of the committee except Dr. P. J. Cassidy, were present. The three selectmen—Casper K. Bailey, C. P. Bushnell and A. W. Lillibridge—were all present, as was also Town ‘Coun- sel H. H. Pettis. One thing that the persons at the meeting were all agreed upon was that the law providing for medical Inspection should be complied with. OPENS SIXTH SEASON WITH ADMIRABLE CONCERT. Bass-Clef Has Assistance of Arthur Middleton of Metropolitan Opers House. The Bass-Clef concert at Slater hall on Friday evening was a great success. There was almost a full house, as five successful seasons of work by the club under Charles D. Geer's skilful direc- tion have given it a name and place of its own in the musical life of the city. The assisting artists brought here for the concerts have ali been of high rank as well, so that the announcement of another concert by the Bass-Clef arouses public interest and this first concert of this winter was no excep- tion. Although the personnel of the active members has changed somewhat from the first vear, it is still the same Pass-Clef. The work has gone stead- ily on and each year shows a gain in the ambition of the organization and the same artistic finish given to each selection rendered. Besides the excellent work by the club itself, they were fortunate in se- curing the assistance of Arthur Middle- ton, basso, from the Metropolitan opera house, New York, who immediately found favor with his audience and was the sentiments of an -everwhelming majority. “When an Edinburgh store clerk ap- pealed to he conference not to join in the coercion of )(grs he was met with cries’ of ‘deris] The declara- tion of.

Mr. Middleton responded generously to the wishes of his delighted audience and added a large number of extra songs to his part of the programme. The opening number was The Trum- peter, given in good volume by the club. Frederick W. Lester was the ac- companist for the evening. Mr. Mid- dleton followed with Thomas' Aid du Tambour ‘Majeur from “Caid,” ang for encore number the majestic selection, Natures’ Adoration, by Beethoven. Two other eelections by the club were enjoyed, Parkers Lamp in the West and Hatch’s The Way of the World. * A Plainsman’s Song by Bliss was en with life and spirit by Mr. Middleton and the club and had to be repeated. Another number that de- manded repetition was Folly and I (A Bacchanal) by Burnham, in which the club had a four hand piano accompani- ment, Miss Annie L. Tafft assisting at the second piano. A group of songs by Mr. Middleton included the beautiful Der Wanderer by Schubert, and his Der Leierman. Bell's Kipling Ballard Follow Me *Ome was also enthusiastically received and Kernochan’s Smuggler's Song and Homer’s How's My Boy? given artistic interpretations. In response to urgent requests for more, three other encores were added. The first was a new negro secinouette, Da's Gwine to Be a Landslide. Another finely rendered song was the Largo al Factotum from Rossini’s Bar- ber of Seville, which was followed by Mililotti's Povero Mariner. Another number by the club was Pache’s Silent Recollection and the closing one was Cadman’s A Mighty Vulcan (Hymn to Pittsburgh), sung impressively by the club with Mr. Middleton.

The recent rapid accumulation of freight has been due to a number of causes, not the least of which was the dense fog hanging over the waters around New York the last few days. The New York, New Haven and Hart- ford railroad, because of the fog, and because of an accumulation of freight on its own lines, has been unable for some time past to take from the Penn- sylvania railroad its normal number of cars. The result has been that cars loaded with freight for points on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, or routed via that line, have j accumulated rapidly until there are to- day on the Pennsylvania railroad ap- proximately 5,000 cars awaiting such { delivery. +The Acme f Consideration. “I shall never find another msn like George was,” moans the lady in heavy black.

At present they are paid 3100 for looking after the town poor and it was argued that if they had th meedical inspection added to their duties it would have to be un- der a fee system that would bring the cost at least up to and probably over the $1,000 that-the school com- mittee asked the annual town meet- ing to provide. Another suggestion was that the work " should be done by the town health officer. On this point it was argued that payment by a fee sys- tem would have to be made and that this would fully equal the $1,000 cost. It was apparent that. it was the feeling of the town school committee that the best way, ‘as they viewed it, and the most satisfactory - from all standpoints was by the appropriation of the.$1,000 which they iginally asked from the town meét! but which the voters cut down to $100.

Stevens of the Connecticut Agflc.xlmnx college and his topic was The Home Fruit and Vegetable Gar- den. Prof. Stevens sald that when he first came to the college, which was eight years ago, he was deeply im- pressed with the great number of per- sons, farmers in particular, who visit- ed the college for their vegetables. He commenced to inquire the,reason for their not raising their own veg- etables and was told that they lacked the time, Prof. Stevens said that he has ar- ranged a chart which shows the pos- sibilities of one acre of some of the garden crops when sold at retail store prices and he demonstrated the chart at the meeting. Prof. Stevens showed that by planting lettuce one head in a per square foot of ground less loss, 40,000 heads in the acre, at 5 cents a head would net $2,000, planting 2,000 bushels of asparagus would net $300, radishes in rows one foot apart, 165 rows, 264 feet, 40,000 bunches of 12 each would net $2,000, bunch perennial onions, in rows 3 1-2 feet, 46 rows, 12,144 bunches at 5 cents, would net $607.44. On a plot of ground 90x120 feet there could be raised a sufficient amount of vegetables for a family of fgur What would cost at retail prices $84.62. Insects Injurious to Vegetables and Fruit was the subject of the address delivered by Dr. W. E. Britton of the Connecticut Experimental station.

During the evening session there were addresses by B. Burdick, County Agent F. C. Warner and Dr. G. P. Clinton of the Connecticut Ex- perimental station. The session which was called to order at 8 o'clock was preceded by an excellent concert pro- gramme provided by Lambert's or- chestra, H. F. Huber, secretary of the State Vegetable Growers’' association, pre- sided at the meeting and introduced A. B. Burdick as the first speaker. Mr. Burdick gave a highly interesting talk on the growing of strawberries. He spoke of the methods he followed and of the success he has had with his crops. Mr. Burdick told of the various kinds of berries he has experimented with and said that he found the Hav- iland_ strawberry the most profitable one for market purposes.

In considering other sources, said Mr. Warner, we have the barnyard manure, which can't be beaten. Barn- y'ard manure furnishes elements for plant life that commercial fertilizers do not. The liquid part of the manfre has practically three-fourths of the potash in the manure. If you have a dirt bottom in your manure pit, dig that up and spread it. It has a cer- tain percentage of potash that has fil- tered through. In preserving barn- yard manure you want to keep it fair- ly moist.
