WILL NOT GO TO wILLIMANTIc

Adjutant-General Cole says that re- cent statements coming from Washing ton reporters regarding Connecticut's attitude toward the proposed maneu- vers at the eastern end of Long Island sound, were entirely erroneous. In stead of being invited to take part in the maneuvers,' said he, T have been in correspondence. with General Ran dolph, the man who is planning this campaign in connection with the navy department, and with General Sanger, assistant secretary of war, with the idea of having the Connecticut militia participate in this demonstration, and there has as yet been no definite dis position made of my application. At the request of General Randolph l sent, month ago, a roster of the entire Con- neeticut force, and I have heard noth- ing since. then. If the national govern ment does not require Connecticut troops for this demonstration. we will have something equally good our selves" General Cole was asked at this point whether 1t was intended to change the usual features of the an- nual encampment, to whch he replied: sYes; had a plan in mind which will be something new In Connecticut I am not prepared to reveal it at present, but it will take the place of the annual encampment"

THRASHER TELLS HOW.
Gives Bridgeporters Hint About
 How to Make Raids.

How to Make Raids. Bridgeport, April 19.-At the Advent church, corner of Barnum avenue and Brooks street, last night, Secretary S. F. ThraSher of the Law and Order league gave talk entitled The Legal Phases of the Temperance Question 7 An audience of about POO listened to the speaker and at the close asked questions regarding the enforcement of the law in this city against Sunday violations.
 At the close of his address Secre- tary Thrasher stated that if anyone preSent wished to ask any questions regarding the work of the Law and Order league or how they should pro- ceed to start a movement against Sun day liquor sellings, he would answer the same to the best of his ability.
 One man in the audience arose and stated that one Sunday recently he watched saloon and counted 26 men who entered. The following Sunday he watched the same place and saw 40 men enter and leave it within an hour How would you proceed against that place?'' he asked.
 Secretary Thrasher replied that it would be a good idea to get camera and get the photographs of the men as they passed in. After you have the lot, take the picture and get it de veloped and then take it to the head of the police and show your evidence. Summon these men as witnesses They can't deny going in, as photographs will tell the truth.''
 Another man arose and asked: eff three men want to start q reform movement on the liquor and gambling violations in this city, how would you proceed?"
 Ihe answer was: "Get together in secret and make a canvass of 25 or 30 good law-abiding citizens who are fearless and then keep up your meet fngs and raise money to keep the movement on. You will find that it will take lots of money to fight these law violators, who obtain some un- scrupulous lawyers to defend them in the courts. 1 am surprised that in the recent Stratford case Attorney Stiles Judson, with all his abilities, should lend himself to defending it. I am shocked
 Several other questions were asked by interested parties who wish for re. form in this city. Secretary Thrasher said that while he did not take the part of the policemen in not enforcing the law, the men were in general not to be blamed, as in most cities the fault lies with the citizens, who do not make any complaint about violations They are let go on. Until they arise and show that they want the laws re- spected the police will be slow in acting.

I,2OO ENPLOYES OUT TODAY
Cheered as They Marched Down
 the Street This Morning

The Shops of the General Electric
 Company Are Virtually Tied Up-
 More Than 1000 Girls Will Join the
 Strikers on Monday By Refusing to
 Go To Work.
 Schenectady, N. T., April 19- About 1,200 more employees of the General Electric company left their work to-day. They were the mem bers of the drill punchers, blacksmith and amateur winders unions. The men left the works in a body, and as they marched up the street leading from the factory they were enthusias- tically cheered by sympathizers, but there was no disorder. A conservative estimate now places the number of men out at 4.S00 The shops to-day virtually are tied up. The strikers claim that over 1000 girls who are employed in various departments will not return to work on Monday. The company has a large number of print CTS and pressmen in it's employ and an effort is being made to have them go out in sympathy. Neither the otf1- cials of the company nor the strikers have made any overtures for settle ment, and the strike has every pros pect of being a prolonged one. The various unions have strong line Of pickets and thus far have prevented any non-union men going to work. The company, however, says that it will in a short time fill the places of the strikers.

NINE HOURS FROM MONDAY.
Change of Working Time in the In
 derwood Factory.


 Hartford, April 19.-Notices have been placed in the factory of the Un- derwood Typewriter Go, on the corner of Capitol avenue and Woodbine streeI, stating that a nine-hour working sched.. ule will go into effect on Monday.
 In explanation yesterday Superinten- dent Charles D. Rice said that ever since the company located in Hartford the working hours had been ten, with the last hour paid for at the rate of '1A time. Spring was coming on and the demands Of the business did not require such long hours, therefore the time had been changed. MT Rice would not state whether the pay would be less than under the ten-hour sched- ule, but it Is improbable that the men will be paid the same rate per diem for one hours less work. The relations of the employees and the management have always been amicable and MT Rice said that he had no reason 10 think they would be otherwise.
 A large number of the GOO employees of the company have recently joined the local union of the Allied Metal Me chanics and the employees of the shop have appointed committee of five to confer with the managers regarding the time schedule. They had not yes terday approached MT Rice on the sub- 1ect and he said that he had no knowl- edge of the matter. It has been stated that the committee would report to a meeting of the union to be held In Gen. tral Labor union hall tonight. Ru- mors prevailed yesterday that if the men were not paid as much as they have been receiving for an hour a day less labor. as provided to go into. effect Monday, they would strike, but no con- tirmation of this could be obtained yes terday. The management was moi aware that any such action is contem- plated. It is asserted that the commit tee of five will ask the management to pay the same amount per day for nine hours labor as has been paid for ten hours heretofore.

 Boston, April 19-The annual cele- bration of the historic achievement of Paul Revere in warning the farmers from Boston to Concord of the ap- proach of the British army on April 1g, 1115, and the opening fight of the American revolution, was generally ob- served in Massachusetts to-day. Sm;l- ing skies favored not only the multi tudinous patriotic meetings, social and sporting events which had been ar- ranged, but gave hundreds a chance to get into the country from the city for the first time this spring. As usual the mecca was the vicinity of Concord and Lexington, where the patriots took up their stand against the regulars.
 The celebration In these two towns was less elaborate to-day than in some preceding years. In this city the Daughters of the American Revolution held q reception to Mrs Charles ". Fairbanks. president-general of the D. A. R. The base ball grand stand and golf links made a strong appeal to many. The most notable sporting event was the twenty-five mile Mara thon road race from Ashland to Bos- ton. which has become an annual fea- ture of Patriots day.
