KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Special Meeting of the Directors IIelt
Yesterday.

Special Meeting of the Directors Held
Yesterday.
The board of directors of the Knights
of Columbus held a special meeting in
New Haven yesterday. 1t was the first
meeting since the recent annual meeting
of the board of government. Those
present were Supreme Knight ]. j. Phe-
Ian of Bridgeport; Daniel COlwell, the
general secretary of the order, of New
Haven; A. w. Tracey, the examining
physician of Meriden; James Mccarthy
of Middletown,B. F. Reid of Waterbury,
John G. Murray of New London, Richard
j. Dryer of Hartford.
At the recent meeting of the board of
government the board of directors were
given supreme authority in the establish
ing rules of the order. Heretofore this
authority reposed in the board of govern
ment. Under the new power, the direc-
tors met yesterday to discuss and adopt
new rules. The particular changes in
the rules relate in the examination of
candidates. Hereafter the physicians in
making their report to the secretary will
forward a secret certificate. 1t is bellev-
ed that in this manner there will be a
tendency to secure more faithful reports
of the candidates exact physical con-
dition. Several members were rein
stated.

sAENGERFEsr AFTERMATH.
Figures From n Private Score Kept
BY a Waterbury Man.


BY Waterbury Man.
The official figures of the standing of
the different societies competing for
prizes in the recent saengerfest in Hart
ford have not yet been announced. \
Waterbury gentleman who has kept a
private score at every state saengerfest
for a number of years, and whose figures
never varied more than one point from
those of the judges, gives the number
of points scored at the recent cOmpeti-
ton as follows:
First closs-Concordia, Waterbury. Go
out of a possible 75; Mannerchor,
Hartford, So.
Second class-Concordia, Bridgeport,
6S; Bergische Harmonic, New Haven,
60t Germania, Bridgeport, 534 Men-
nerchor, New Britain, 49t.
Third class-Malnerchor, Union City,
81; Liederkranz, Southington. 55!; Lie
derkranz, Thomaston, 4st; Lyra, Water
bury, 45t. Concordia, Seymour, 40; Lie
dertafel, Rockville, 354.l
In regard to the alleged protest against
the Concordias of this city, on the
ground that some of the singers who as
sisted were not Germans, we can say on
authority that the rules of the associa-
ton do not exclude singers of any
nationality from becoming active mem
bers. 1t is to the credit of Waterbury
that German, American and Irish singers
can work together in harmony and carry
off the first prize against all corners.

DEMOCRATIC STATE POLITICS.
Colonel Joselyn of Hartford Prefers
to Remain In the Ranks.

Colonel Charles M. Joselyn of Hart
ford, whose name has been mentioned in
connection with the democratic nominal
ton for governor, is not in the race.
We have it from the best authority that
Colonel Joselyn's only ambition at pre-
sent is to remain in the ranks and fight
for the success of the party.
Senator David B. Reads Bridgeport
friends are earnestly disposed to bring
him forward in the race, and hold that
the coast is clear, as Ex-Governor Wal
Ter will not run again, while Luzon B.
Morris of New Haven has already been
standard bearer of the party. Besides
this they assert that Fairfield county has
some claims to name the first man on
the ticket. But some leading democrats
maintain that Ex-Governor Waller will
step in and run if the party commands
it, and add, moreover, that Luzon b.
Morris having run 500 votes ahead of
Governor Bulkeley is entitled to be run
again. But Fairfield county men say
they want recognition that the county
has been neglected, set aside, over
looked, etc. They point with pride to
Senator Reads popularity, personal
magnetism, great capacity for telling
good stories, sociability, good staying
qualities in campaign, good record in
running for Senator, etc. He was
elected to the last senate by S03, while
the normal democratic majority in the
district is only 400. and it had been
previously carried by republican.

the calamity which has befallen her was
wholly unexpected.
There was q close call for an accident
on the Shore Line road yesterday after
noon. Near Crescent Beach the east
bound express passed the west bound
accommodation at a turn out. Both
were moving slowly but the express
reached the Junction of the tracks be-
fore the accommodation had pulled en-
.tirely past, and the last half of the last
car was badly torn to pieces. No one
was hurt. 1t was supposed to be due to
careless signaling.

LOVE TO TALK HORSE.

Some EmmInent Men.

A Sure Passport to the Good Graces Of
Some EmmInent Men.
Would you like to see grim million
aire lose his look of absorption and
grow young, eager and voluble in an
instant? Mention horse to him. 1t
does not make the slightest difference
whether he wears the repelent look of
Vanderbilt, the stony reserve of Hag-
gin, the senatorial taciturnity of
Hearst the inherent reserve of Bel
mont or the social veneer of Lorillard.
Horse is enough. A stranger of wide
distinction or a man of imposing title
would receive q formal nod from these
men, while they'll turn boys in the
presence OF racing people in whom
they recognize the kindred love for
horse. l have seen August Belmont
lean heavily on his stick and wrangle
with red-faced insistence with a trainer
in n check jumper for half an hour, in a
stable yard, over the particular quality
of bran that should be given to a colt,
while the same man, in his house, bank
or club, wore an air of such icy reserve
that to approach him meant a Fremont
tory symptom of chills.
One day, when l was a boy, l hap
pened to be on the piazza of Gabe Cases
old road-house watching the trotters,
when old Commodore Cornelius Van
der6ilt drove along in a small road
wagon with his jaws set hard and his
brows drawn together in thoughtful
scowl. AS he came along an old horse
man with a wisp of whiskers on his
chin wandered out of the door of the
hotel and. catching sight of the great
railroad king, suddenly started forward
and yelled:
Hay! Cornell come in herei want
t see yer"
AT the sight of him the Commodore
half refined in his horse and, losing all
hts look of worry and anxiety, cried:
'Hullo, Bill When'd y'u come t.
town? Can't stop now. Glad t sec"
Come on in here, l tell you," said
the stranger.
Nearly every body was abashed at
any man addressing the greatest citizen
of New York in that fashion. but the
Commodore seemed to think it was all
right.
II will stop a minute" he said.
The two men shook hands, but before
the Commodore could speak the old
backWoods horseman said with q gilt
tering eye:
You know the chestnut colt?"
with the white stocktngs?"
THE same"
"Well?" =
WELL" said the rural visitor, with q
smile that spread all over his face.
''he's only done eighteen, that's all
An you put him out of yer stable"
He amt trotted in eighteenP" said
the Commodore, excitedly.
He's done that same"
BILL" said the railroad magnate,
thoughtfully, but with an airrof over.
whelming conviction, 81 must say that
when it comes to q boss, you're a
daisy"
The stranger accepted the great COM
pliment modestly, and then the two
men sat on a bench and talked about
crossing different breeds for speed with
the animation of school-boys. The
richest man in New York was absolute
ly oblivious to time and his surround
ings, and it was seven o'clock when he
suddenly bounced up and started for
home on the discovery that he was al
ready an hour late for dinner.-Blake

OFFICER LANNIGAN,s CLUB
Descends With Effect Upon jaime,
MONEYS Uranium.

MONEYS Uranium.
NEW HAVEN, August l. - James
Mooney is teamster who has been in
the employ of the Smedley Brothers for
several weeks. He was under the influ-
ence of liquor about half-past o'clock
yesterday afternoon when he drove up
to the Smedley's warehouse on Brewery
street. Clark Smedley said something
to him which he did not relish and he
became very abusive to his employer.
Words soon led to blows, and Officer
Lannigan of the precinct squad was
called to arrest the unruly teamster.
He found some difficulty in this. The
precinct wagon arrived, but it was
found almost impossible to master
Mooney sufficiently to get him into the
vehicle. Frequent applications of the
club by Officer Lannigan, however,
finally induced him to a more docile
mood. In the scuffie it appears that
Moneys leg was broken. This was not
discovered until the wagon had taken
him to the precinct. He was then sent
to the hospital. Superintendent Boil
man has ordered a detailed report of the
affair to be made to him.

PREVIOUS FIGURES ECLrpsED.

Revised Census Figures Give Water
bury a Population OF 33, 1S4.
New Haven, Waterbury, Meriden and
Bridgeport are rejoicing over the latest
census figures, which are much more
satisfactory than those first given out.
Bridgeport's official popopulation is now
placed at 45 $40, nearly 1000 more than
the approximate estimate. New Haven
is given not only $4,000, but nearly a
thousand more-S5, 1926, Waterbury is
given 80, 1874, an increase of 916 over the
original estimate, and Meriden is set
down at %, 1920. These are all large
gains over the first estimate and will
have a very important bearing on the
total population of the state, which will
now go over TAO, 900 without doubt.
The population of the seven towns of
over 10000 inhabitants in the district is
definitalv stated as follows:
