ANDERSON five
Meets Richmond n. S. Friday Night
in Basketball.

Friday evening at the Garfield
Gymnasium the Richmond High
School basketball team will meet the
Anderson High School team. The To-
Gals have played two games so far
this season and lost both of them
but the boys are practicing hard the
few days remaining before the Ander
son contest and they are confident
that victory will smile on their eff
orts. Local followers of the game
have failed to fathom why R. H. S.
lost to Kokomo or why such a large
score was run up against them by
Earlham, considering the fine show
ing the same team made last season.
It is safe to say that the results of
these two contests was due to a
slump and the boys will again hit
their old time stride Friday night.
Anderson has a good team and a
fast game can be expected.

Financial Calamity Facing Germany.

Berlin, Dec. 14.-Discussion is
still rife here concerning the report
of Finance Minister Won Stengel is
sued a few days ago which shows a
falling off in many of the country's
revenues and the need of a $7S,00O,-
600 loan, if the company is to be
saved from financial ruin. The re
port will nc. doubt be the cause Of
some very strong speeches in the
Reichstag. The re9rettable condition
in Germany south west Africa, and
the increasing eE.clljtU"o for mill
tary pensions have consumed many
millions of dollars, and st present
it is difficult to see that any fresh

CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS
Reassemble Today at Sea Over Balance
Of Their. Ticket.


NEW HAVEN. Conn, September with
very little actual business settled in con-
ferences following the adjournment over
night the delegates to the democratic state
convention reassembled in the Hyperion
Theater today with conflicting opinions as
to the final makeup of the state ticket
1t was evident that the nomination of
Judge Robertson for governor, with Gen.
Henry A. Bishop as his running mate. was
expected and the chief problem ahead was
the selection of men for the other places
on the ticket, who would be acceptable both
to the state central committee members,
VINO had brought Judge Robertson to the
front, and the adherents of Mayor Thayer
of Norwich, who had hoped to win for him
first place.
Judge A. Heaton Robertson or New
Haven received the nomination for gov
ernOr by vote of 1858 to 1S1 for Mayor
Thayer of Norwich.
Henry A. Bishop of Bridgeport was nomi-
mated by acclamation for lieutenant gov
ernor.
John NJ. Ney of Hartford was nominated
for treasurer.
Temporary Chairman Dean Rogers was
made permanent chairman. The platform
was read and unanimously adopted. PresI-
Dental electors were chosen and the con-
vention proceeded to select candidate for
the various state officers.
James Huntington of Woodbury. was nom-
mated for secretary of state.
Judge William Beicher of New London
was nominated for controller.
The nomipation of William Kennedy OF
Naugatuck for representative-at-larg COM
pleted the ticket.
The platform heartily indorses the nomi-
nation of Alton B. Parker for President and
Henry G. Davis for Vice President, ratifies
and confirms the declaration of principles
adopted at the democratic national conven-
tion held at st. Louis, July 9, and demands
Canadian reciprocity.

GRAY HEARS ARGUMENTS.
Members of Miners Board Question
Operators Rights.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September l.
Judge Gray, who was chairman or the
anthracite coal commission, today, as UNI
pire heard argument by the members OF
the board of conciliation on the question
of the right of the operators to collect
money from employees with which to pay
checkweighmen and docking bosses un-
less a legal assignment OF the amount is
made by the employe. The question was
recently decided by Umpire Wright, but
the operators claimed that he overstep-
ped his authority, and the matter, by the
consent of all members of the concilta-
ton board, was referred to Judge Gray
for final settlement.
The hearing was attended by the full
board membership, w. L. Connell, presi-
dent of the board; r. c. Luther, superin-
tendent of the Reading company, and s.
E. Warriner. general manager of the Le-
high Valley Coal Company, representing
the operators, and District Presidents T.
D. Nichols, John Fahy and William Det-
try representing the miners.
The argument was opened by Mr.. War
riner. He stated that there were two
questions for Judge Gray to decide,
namely, whether the resolution of the
conciliation board of July 8, 1908, regard
ing the payment of checkweighmen and
docking bosses conflicts with the decision
of Umpire Wright, and If so, whether the
boards resolution was annulled by Mr..
Wrights deliverance; and an interpreta- l.
tion of the entire text of the conciliation
boards decision regarding checkweigh-
men.
Alter the questions at issue had been de-
bated by fboth sides Judge Gray took the
exhibits in the case and at l 80 O'Clock the
meeting adjourned. The discussion went
over the same ground as that presented at
other meetings of the concilators, and
nothing new was brought out. Judge Gray
did not announce when a decision will be
