 'Buses-NO Violence Reported.
 Waterbury, Jan. 28-The first break in the ranks of the striking motornen and conductors of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company occur red at meeting of the men tonight. Frank Miller, an old employe of the company, addressed the meeting and asked If there was any objection to his returning to work for the company, not as mOtorman or conductor, but as an inspector. In no mild terms he was in formed that there was objection, to which he replied that he would go to work tomorrow morning. Miller was immediately fined $50, expelled from the union and invited to leave the room.

CANADA BOUND TO LOSE.
Heads.You.W Wtn-TaIes-I-L Game
 TupPeF's Opinion.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 28.--A special from Vancouver, B. C., says:
 Sir Charles Hilbert Tupper, who won his title by his work as a iurist in the interests of Canada at the sessions Of the Behring Sea commission in Paris, in speaking of the proposed commits sion to settle the boundary question: said that it means that the United States will euchre Canada out of her rights. He said further that England will never fight the United States for one inch of Canadian territory. The United States knows this and is sure of her ground when she arbitrates with Great Britain over Canadian rights. The three similar arbitrations known to the world, prove that the United States knew what she was doing when she agreed to a commission of three on each side. For the side of Great Bri- tain there will be one, and perhaps two Englishmen and where Canada is concerned in the arbitration, English men are disposed to lean toward the United States on the ground of justice. the merits of the case and strict inn partiality. They are careful as to the legal phase of the question.
 On the other hand, American jurists on an arbitration commission never sWerve a hairs breadth on any grounds. If the English jurists favor the Americans, Canada loses. If each side holds it's own. Canada loses, for. according to legal procedure. the case falls to the ground, which leaves the Americans in possession of the disputed territory. The United States will say:
 Canada could not prove it's case and we have the territory" so the United States will doubtless win in any event.

PANTHER FIRED ON FIRST.
A Statement Issued by the German Em-
 bassy at Washington.


 Washington, Jan. 2S.-The following statement was made at the German embassy tonight by Count Quadt, rela- tive to the Panther episode at Fort San Carlos:
 "We had thought until now that the Panther was trying to get into Mara caibo harbor, which it had a perfect right to do, to make the blockade more effective and to stop the supposed i'm portation of supplies from across the Colombian border. Heretofore this opinion prevailed in Berlin and only now has a report come showing abso- lutely and clearly that the Panther had not the remotest intention of get ting into the harbor and could not have done so because she was drawing too much water to cross the bar Her intention was to get better shelter near the bar and when she was approaching the bar she was fired on by the San Carlos forts"

General Republican Split tn State to be
 Conttnued.

Dover, Del, Jan. 2S.-J. Edward Ad- dicks, who has within six votes of the necessary majority in the deadlock of the legislature for United States sena- tor tonight issued a statement in which he says that as the "bolter" of regular republicans have broken faith with his faction, the union republicans, and violated the agreements made be- fore the joint primary election on Octo- Der 4, 1t is impossible to consider any cooperation with the "bolters." This is taken to mean that in state. county and city elections in Delaware there will hereafter be two republican tickets.

TOW for the Mtner

TOW for the Miners.
 Philadelphia, Jan. 2S.-The mooted question of responsibility for the lirni- tation of the hard coal production was. again an issue before the anthracite coal strike commission to-day. The. matter was brought up by Attorney Darrow, counsel for the miners, who re- quested the commission to summon the presidents Of the coal carrying railroads as witnesses. The demand resulted in a lengthy discussion between Chairman Gray, Lawyer Dickson, counsel for the independent operators, and Mr. DarroW. Chairman Gray said the commission would consider the matter of calling the presidents for the stated purpose, and if the issue is regarded as being be- fore this body they will be called, other-s wise the presidents will not be asked to testify.
 Counsel for the miners also arl- nounced that he had received numerous letters from large operators and gover- nors of states in the bituminous coal re- zion and desired to have some represen- tatives of that district appear before the commission to give information concerning trade agreements. If this could not be done the miners union would like to have the letters read be- fore the commission. The chairman said the subject at present is being held under advisement.
 In asking the commission to request the attendance of the coal road presi- dents MT. Darrow said:
 There has been evidence offered here on the part of the operators for the purpose of showing that the miners have limited production in the past year. We believe the fact to be that the coal roads have placed limit on production for years. So long as they make the charge to this commission for the purpose of influencing its decision want them to bring into court for our examination the presidents of the roads so that we may find out the situation.
 DO you mean to charge or express the belief," said Chairman Gray, "that there has been 8 limitation by the pres- idents of the coal roads other than the limitation that the market and the de- mand that the market creates? Of course there is 8 natural limitation. Apart from the interests of the opera tors and the miners 1t would be most lamentable waste to the country to keep on mining coal for which there was no demand" &
 Continuing, the chairman said the

Respecting Payment stail Under Dis
 cussion-Powers' Answers Awaited.
 Washington, Jan. 28.-The British and German ambassadors and Count Quadt, the German charge d'affaires, called on MT. Bowen, Venezuelas rep resentative in the negotiations looking to raising of the blockade and a set tlement of the claims against Venezue- la, about 10:30 o'clock tonight and were still in conference with him at 1:30 o'clock. The conference was by ap pointment and at the request of the representatives of the allies. It is be- Ieved that the purpose was to present the claims of the allies to preferential treatment in payments over those na- tions which have not eXerted physical pressure on Venezuela, but it was inn possible to get any direct information on this point.
 The conference broke up at 12:30 and the representatives of the allies pro- ceeded at once to their homes It was made known that no agreement had yet been reached for the raising of the blockade, and that further word must be awaited from Europe before this stage of the negotiations is passed. Details respecting payments still re- main to be adjusted to the common sat isfaction of all concerned, and as under the instructions of their governments each diplomatic representative of the allies must report to his own country, these reports in turn being the subject of cablegrams between the allies in or der that the concert between them may be preserved, it will be at least twenty four hours longer before the blockade can be removed. By common consent the duty of giving the press state ment of the conference, as far as it was deemed polite to make any announce rent, was devolved on MT. Bowen. That gentleman's statement was as fol- lows:
 We have been discussing tonight certain points which needed to be clear 1y understood. They have been refer red to us for consideration, and our views are now to be communicated at once to Rome, London and Berlin.'
 The further statement was made af- ter the conference that there was abso 1utely no foundation for charges that Germany was delaying the signing of the preliminary protocol The repre- sentations considered tonight emanat- ed from the London foreign office.

Every one interested in the Confed-
crate bazsar, just closed. il Richmond, !,
will be delighted to hear that it has
been most successful. No official re-
port has been published yet, bnt from
private letters it is learned that
$4,000 was cleared, Of which sum
$15 ,000.goes to the monument Of Pres
ideut Davis and 81, 1000 to the Confed-
crate Museum.
All the tables did well. The South
Carolina table was conceded to be the
prettieat and stood third in the sum
of money made. s5
Virginia naturally made the most,
$1,000. The Solid South table, rep
reaonting the chapters in New York,
Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, California
and other States NOS OF the Confed-
eraoy, came next with little over
$1,000. South Caroline came third
with over 81 500.
Those who worked so hard TO this
good end have;every right to be not
only satisfied but proud and very
grateful to the Richmond ladies, both
Carolinians and Virginians, Who. by
sneir seal, perseverance, and good
management, accomplished so much.

Friday Is q Lucky Day.

Contrary to the tradition and 60 the
firm belief of the civilized world,
Friday is the luckiest day Of theweek.
Such is the conclusion reached By e;
competent and painssaking statisti-
clan, the results Of whose lsbors are
exploited in the Chicago Tribune.
After thorough search of statisti-
cal tables, he discovered that for great
calamities aud disasters Monday is.
the most unlucky day and Friday is
the luckiest. :
A summary Of the results shows the
following,
The worst day for murders--sun-
day.
The worst day for fires-Monday.
The woEst day for shipwrecks--..
Thursday.
The worst day for railroad accidents
Friday.
The worst day for foods--Saturday.
Il viii 5e seen that the fears Of
those who refrain from beginning
journey on Friday are to some extent
justified. But in nothing but railroad
accidents does Friday sustain its repu-
tation, having very small record for
shipwrecks, murders and fires. A
table Of averages for the various days
of the week shows that 1923 per cent
of the disasters took place on Friday
the normal averages would have
been over II per cent-that 1856 per
cent occurred on Tuesday, IA 1-2 per
cent on both Saturday and Sunday,
and 13 2-3 per cent on Monday.
Wednesday seems to be the best day
on which to begin journey.
We are reminded also .has Colum-
bus started on his voyage of discovery
on Friday, first sighted land on
Friday, and discovered the American
continent on Friday. This day is
certainly lucky one in American
history. The battle Of Bunker Hill
was foughs on Friday. the motion Of
John Adams that the United States
are and ought to be independent was
made on a Friday, Saratoga was sur
rendered on Friday and the Merri-
mac was sunk in Santiago harbor on
Friday.
We might add that the Msyaower
landed Oh Friday and that George
Washington was born Friday, Febru-
ary 20, 1882.
The anti-Friday superstition, ia
probably due to the fact that Christ
was crucified on that day. Past re-
cords, however, seem to establish be-
yond question that Friday is not an
unlucky day, but one Of good omen.-
