Acting as a committee of the Buck- ingham Republican_club of the town of Brooklyn, F. C. Babson and DeFor- est Wells have purchased a lot on South street, West Side, in the town of Brooklyn, upon which is to be erected a clubhouse for use of the or- ganization. Arrangements have been made to flnance the deal, so it is ex- pected that the club’s proposed home will become a reality at an early date. It is expected that the building will be erected this fall. The club has about 50 members, but this total will be con- siderably increased. The building will be so erected as to make it easily pos- sible to convert it into a_dwelling. The Buckingham club will give the West Side its first social club organization. YOUNG CHILDREN BARRED. Those Under 10 Will Not Be Permit- ted to Attsnd Brooklyn Fair.

Killingly, Putnam and Plainfield— three license towns that are in a row 11 vote on the license issne the first Monday in October, date of the annual town meetings. The campaign of the no-license forces in each of them will be active, especially in Killingly and Plainfield, where the issue is always stubbornly ~fought out. No-license workers in each of the towns men- filed the necessary appli- [ for a vote on the question. In Killingl last year the license ma- Jority was 248, changing the toAvn into the “wet” list of the state. This was a record majo {illingly. Plain- field voted v 40, Putnam get- ting ual margin. No. Jicense workers have pianned a Speak- ing campaizn for the three towns and this 11 be ir full swing next week The license werkers are also beg inning to get busy and planning to strenuous- ly campaign to hold the advantage they won last tyear. TOTAL OF 372 APPLICATIONS. New High Record of Voters to Be Made- 202 Are Women. Returns from tricts of Kill ¥ ee voting d 2y as received and com piled Friday show that the applica ions to be made volers reach the new high record total, for any one vear, | of 372. This figure is more than three and a haif times the usual run of such applications in any fall season. Of the number of applicaticns men- 202 filed by women, 170 It will be seen from this that ign to elect a woman mem- the town schooi committee is only thing that enters into ber not the surprising increase in the number of the of applications. For vyears past the number of men who have applied for registration as voters in any one year has not usually exceeded 100, and at times has been as fow as 70 or 80. The town's feverish industrial ac- tivity and industrial growth, [taken with the consequent increase in popu- iation, is held to account for the in- crease in the number of men appli- cants, in many cases urged to file ap- plications. | The r s was as | tollows: 93 men, 185 women; | Second. ¢5 men, 7 women; Third, 12 | 10 women. The women, it will he noted, made by far their best showing in the First district. In the Second d the {number of apnlications rec | men establishes a new s district includes Dayville, Af- ugan, Ballouville and rapidly de- veloping Willlamsvyille. Those having an Interest in election day possibilities Will scan with eager eves this list of voters-to-bs, endeavor- ing to c fy them by party, and, so far as may be possible, as to thelr position on’ the license question. Schools to Open Monday. No announcements having been is- sued to the contrary, the impression has been rightfully zained in Daniel- that the graded school, School street, and St. James’ parochial school will open for the fall term Mond bringing approximately 600 children back to their studies.

Few Deer Seen. Residents in the rural sections here- abouts report that very few deer are to be seen this fall in eections where they were plentiful two years ago. The deer have been subjected to the attri- tion process and are becoming as scarce as hen's teath. For this the farmers who have suffered crop losses on account of the depredations of the animals are not sorry, though in many cases regretting that such pretty ani- mals could not be lesser raiders and destroyers. - Chiidren Cry POR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA A. F. WOOD “The Local Undertaker” DANIELSON, CONN. Parlors & Mechanio Street PUTNAM Thomas Kelley, Mechanicsville Loom-. fixer, Finds and Endorses Check— Runs When Questioned by Bank Teller—One Hundred and Twenty- one Women Want to Vote—Fall So- cial at High School—D. A. R. Go- ing to Danielson. Thomas Kelley, for six weeks past a loomfixer, in the employ of the French River Textile company at Me- chanicsville, turned in a little sensa- tion Friday morning, when he at- tempted to pass a check that he had endorsed at the First National bank and then turned and ran out of the bank when the teller questioned the authenticity of the signature. Kelley speeded up Main street into Union square and down into the subway, where he was captured and taken back to the bank. After a conference with bank offi- clals and police officers he was taken to the police station and locked up. This morning he will be presented before Judge L. H. Fuller, in the city court, to answer to a charge of fors- ery. Captain Joseph A. Ryan had a talk with the prisoner at the station and heard from him the story of the checlk. Kelley went into the office of the mill company at Mechanicsville Friday morning and there saw a letter ad- dressed to Robert Blandinz, foreman in charge of the powerhouse con- struction work. Kelley said to Cap- tain Ryan that he took the letter and upon tearing it open found a check for_$45, payable to Blanding. Kelley came to Putnam with the check, went to the First National bank 'and endorsed it. Teller Alvin S. Martin recognized, it is_alieged, that the signature “Robert Blanding’ was not genuine and upon calling Kelley's attention to this fact Kelly turned and ran. The chase followed. Kelley told Captain Ryan at the po- lice station that up to about a year ago he was a very earnest and hard- working citizen and that he held one place in Maynard, Mass,, for a period of sixteen vears. In October of last year his wife died and since then he has lost much of his courage. He came here from Franklin, Mass. The hearing of Kelley's case is set for 5.45 this morning, earlier than the usual court hour, as Judge Fuller de- sires to leave the city for the day on the morning express for Willimantic. 180 MEN, 121 WOMEN Desire to Be Made Voters in Advance of Town Election. Registrars Harmon G. Carver and George Potvin on Friday held a meet- ing and made a compilation of the applications that were received dur- ing Thursday from persons who de- sire to be made voters in time for the coming _annual town meetin The figures as given out Friday af- ternoon show that 180 men filed ap- plications to be made voters and that 121 applications were received from women. This is an unusually large number of applications, much larger than has been the rule in years in th mast: From the list of men voters as com- piled for use at I ar’s elections the registrars erased names and restored 10, this being in ordance with the yearly practice of revising the lists, names being removed for reasons legally sufficient, h as re- movals from the town, deaths, etc., and restored names where restora- tions were warranted. Five names were erased from the list of woman voters, as compiled for last year, and 8 names restored to this Hst. Indications are that the list of vot- ers as revised for the coming town election will show the larsest number of voters in Putnam in the history of the town. No-license Rally Sunday Evening H. H. Spooner, Kensington, secre- tary of the Connecticut :Femperance union, is to speak Sunday evening at the Bradley the at first no- license rally of the fall. The rall has' been arranged by the Citizens' No-License committee, which will en- deavor this vear to stimulate interest this fall in the cause they advocate to such an extent as to make the con- test on the license question at the polls the closest Putnam has had for vea Another rally is to be held at the theatre Sunday, Sept. 24, when Rev. Fr. George Zurcher is to be the epealcer. Sunday Afternoon’s Game. President Thomas McDermott of the Putnam club said Friday afternoon that up to that time he had not received from Manager Johnson of the North Grosvenordale team the lineup that is to represent that town in Sunday afternoon’s game here. He understands, though, he says that the visitors expect to show some big leaguers in thefr lineup and that their twirling is to be done by a member of the pitching staff of the Boston Braves, now engaged in such a des- perate struggle to land the National league pennant. Hanley, who has unscored on for 24 consecu- . is to do the twirling for Putnam. FALL SOCIAL Held Friday Evening by Members of High School Association.

The premier called the criticisms of the army lead- ership by the head of the people's party “well poisoning” Count Ap- ponyi declared that three chief ques- tions needing discussion were the for- cign policies, the military situation and the food supply. The harmony and unity needed for considering these three problems, Count Apponyi said, were endangered by the introduction of other questions such as Premicr Tisza's attempt to bind Hungary eco- nomically to its allies for a long period. NO FEDERAL INVESTIGATION OF RISE IN BREAD PRICES. Department of Justice Calls a Halt on Move in Chicago. Chicago, Sept. 15—The department of justice at Washington today called a halt on federal investigation in Chi- cago of the increase in bread prices. “This department does not wish an investigation made at this time,” said a message from A, Bruce Bielaskl, who visited at his home here _this week, has won the distinction of b ing mentioned as the capitol city's poet-philosopher. This is due to the fact that Souvenir has very regularly for the past few months turned out a number of interesting short poems. that have appeared in Hartford pa. pers and have attracted much favor- able attention.

MORTALITY AMONG WOMEN LIGHTER THAN AMONG MEN But Insurance Companies Have Found Risks on Women Unprofitable. St. Louis, Sept. 15.—While mortality among women is lighter than among men, insurance companies have found risks on the lives of the former un- profitable, and write policies on wom- en’s lives only for limited amounts, and at higher rates, or under restric- tions, according to L. A. Phillips of St Paul, Minn, in an address before the American Life convention here today. “The losses suffered by companies on women's lives are sreater during the first five vears of the existence of policies,” Phillips said, “and the risks are greatest on young married women; among spinsters the mortality rate is lower than that of men, among mar- ried women it is higher, while widows and divorcees die at about the same rate as men” cording to Phillips, as women grow older they become more desira- ble risks.
