OUR BAND MAKES

ST. Louis. Mo, is musical center
It is the home of one of the best bands
in the United States. That st. Louis,

pleasant to hear.

largely attended by the many friends
of the mother and by the fellow
scholars of the little girl at st. An
drew's Cathedral Sunday school. The
Rev. Mr.. f. T. Simpson conducted the
services and the choir of st. Andrew s
Priory sang the two hymns, and made
the responses. The heartiest sympa thy

IMMIGRANTS WILL
 HAVE HARD TIME In Getting Into This Country f the New Rules Are En-
 forced RULES ARE VERY RIGID
Examination Similar to Preliminary Steps Toward Naturalization
 Will Be Made.

St John, N. B., Oct 2.-The Amer ican immigration inspectors here have received new set of regula- tions governing the admission of per- sons to the United States. The rules are much more rigid than any ever enforced here.
 The immigration department of the United States in an effort to exclude from that country all who may in any way be considered undesirable has decided that an examination simi- lar to the one for first papers, or the preliminary step towards natural ization shall be made at the border. Hence under the new regulations all persons from Canada who intend re- siding in the states will be question ed at great length.
 In the past no physical examina- tion of passengers has been made un- less the appearance of the person was such as to attract attention, nor will this rule be changed for the present, although 1t will be more strictly ob- served. The financial requirements remain the same, but it is understood that certain amendments on both of these points will be made shortly.
 These new regulations will mean much extra work for he inspectors in St John and in fact ali along the Canadian border.

Troops for Cuba.

New York, Oct 2.-Preparations to embark four battalions of troops and engineers for Cuba on board the United States transport Sumner were being rushed through the final stage at the New York navy yard early to- day. The troops, comprising three battalions of the Fifth infantry from the Plattsburg barracks, with twenty eight officers and 517 men. command ed by Colonel c. D. Cowles: two bat talions of engineers from Washing ton, comprising twelve officers and 341 men. commanded by Major M. M. Patrick, and detachment from the hospital corps numbering two officers and twenty-twO men. were all on hand in readiness to sail.
 The Summers departure was only delayed by the necessity. of taking on board a great quantity of supplies and ammunition. piles of which en- cumbered the wharf and was being rushed on board and slowed away in the hold. Captain Nye. commanding tho Sumner, expected to sail before / yson, but 1t depended upon the dis patch with which the supplies were put on board.
 As officers of the troops expected to be assigned to garrison duty on reaching Cuba, they expressed no great enthusiasm over the expedition.

AL ADAMS MAY HAI
 BEEN MURDERE Coroner naIburysr S,ys Int 10 Led to Believe 1hsIs Ws
 Foul PIsy
POSITION OF TIE BODY
And Other Things Leads IT Corner to Doubt the Suieids
 Theory.

New York, Oct 2.-Coroner Hal~ burger in statement made early to~ day, gave an intlmation that he wae not entirely satisfied that the death of Al Adams, the former so-caIIed policy king, was the result of sufcida The coroner said:
 The police and all the witnessee n the death of Al Adams believe and are convinced that he committed sui. eide but from the position found his body, lying over chair and the head resting near cuspidor. leads me in some ways to believe that there might have been foul play.
 T am now in doubt as to What motive there was for a man of srch wealth to take his life. The force of the shot penetrated and went through the forehead and the ball nit the door embedding itself in the wall. mn shows how powerful the shot was that ended his life. 5.
 Tt is supposed that he got out cf bed at 7:45 a. m. Generally peoul4 do not commit suicide when they rine from slumber.
 All the indications are that he 'did commit suicide. but I am not thoroughly satisfied and I will ex. amine every witness and try and ind out what motive there was for sell. destruction

FISH FOR MANY STREAMS.

Pennsylvania Railroad Distributing
 Minnows Throughout the State. Early in. this year the Pennsylvania rnilroad undertook rather novel ex- pertinent, that of assisting In stocking the mountain streams of Pennsylvania with fish, says Philadelphia special dispatch to the Pittsburg Dispatch. The experiment has proved 50 success full that hencef0rth 1t will be continued with increased vlgor. The company In this work is cooperating with the United States government and the state of Pennsylvania.
 More than 10000 minnows, none of them more than an inch long, have been turned over to the railroad by the state of Pennsylvania. The state de- pertinent of fisheries did not have enough money at its command to dis tribute properly all the fish 1t had to dispose of. and when all the clubs and individuals that wanted any had fin- lshed putting in their applications 1t looked as If the other thousands would have to be thrown away.
 It will take three years for the fish to grow to maturity. and then those that haven't died will be from six to ten inches long. Before the three years are up. though. many more fish will have been distributed In the same way by the Pennsylvania. It Is expected that the scheme will result in develop ing a very fine line of fish in the streams of the Allegheny mountains.

San Francisco. Oct 2.-Major-G Gen. eral w. R. Shafter. U. 8. A.. resired. who commanded the military opera tions in Cuba in 1898, said in an in- terview yesterday that he did no; think the army of occupation would have much to do in the island. "A hundred American soldiers would b, sufficient to seise and hold Cuba at the present time," said the general. "The Cubans themselves realize this and will make no effort to offer any resistance to the army of occupation. There are. however. some willy na- tives among the contending Cuban forces. and they may be expected to hold out and be an uncertain quan. tity until assured that the American occupation is an occupation in fact"

WILL PLACE A MARKER
At Place Where Aboliti0nist Garrison
 Published Journal of the Times.

Published Journal of the Times.
 Bennington, Vt, Oct 2.-A move- ment is on foot here to place a mark CT on the spot at Bennington Cente" where for nine months. from Oc:obe. 3, 1928. to July s, 1929, William Lloyd Garrison of Boston, the aboli- tionist, published the Journal of the Times. Those who have the project in hand have communicated with some of the Garrison relatives to ob- tain a, consensus of opinion relative to the form the memorial should take, and from letters received a plan has been outlined for rough faced granite boulder, with one smooth surface for the inscription.
 As the spot where the Journal of the Times office stood is private prop erty, permission has been obtained from the village trustees to place the marker on the common, only a few feet away from the site of the ofiice.
 There is in the local library a com plete bound file of the Journal of the Times during the time that It was published by Garrison. It was four page paper set in solid condensed type with but little advertising. Un- der the heading was the motto. "Rea- son shall prevail with us moro than popular opinion"

BALLOON RACING
 FOR BENNETT CUP Shlt Made Sunday Afternoon Was Ended at Noon To-
 Day AMERICAN BALLOON WON.
English Air Ship the Last One to Arrive, But Cause of Delay
 is Not Explained.

Paris, Oct 2.-All the uncertainty
 regarding the result of the balloon
 race for the James Gordon Kennett
 cup, started from here on Sunday af-
 ternoon, was ended at noon to-day,
 when dispatch was received by the
 Aero club announcing that the Hon c. s. Rolls and his companion, Col onel Capper, in the balloon Britan- mia, landed at Sandringham Upland at 6:30 last night, thus establishing that Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm, Sixth cavalry, U. s. A., the American competitor in the race, who descend ed near Whitby yesterday afternoon in the balloon United States, is the winner.
 Signor Vonwiller, Italy, Is second; Count de La Vaulx, France, third, and the Hon c. s. Rolls, Great Brit ain, fourth.
 Some anxiety was felt on account of MT Rolls, 1t being feared that he had attempted to cross the North sea. The delay in reporting his de- scent is not yet explained.
 Lieutenant Lahm's friends are en- thusiastic over his victory. With the exception of Senor Salamanca, the Spanish aeronaut, Lahm was the youngest competitor. Since his as- signment to the cavalry. school at Saumur Lahm has devoted much at tention to aerostatics and his rapid advance as an aerial pilot has already attracted considerable attention. He made dozen ascensions during the summer, the longest voyage being from Saint Cloud to Saint Brisuc. The lieutenant took the place of his fath- CT in the race, the latter. who is the best known American aeronaut in Paris, being called home on Setur, day. Major Hersery's trip as Lieu tenant Lahm's assistant was quite ac- cidental, a Frenchman. Levee, hav- ing been selected as his assistant. But the Aero club of France protest cd and Major Hersery. who has just arrived here from Norway with Wa1-- ter Wellman, leader of the Polar ex- petition. eagerly seized on the chance.
 Lieutenant Lahm, who is expected to arrive in Paris to-day, covered 415 miles against 370 miles, covered by Vonwiller. his nearest competitor.
 The beautiful cup, presented for competition by MT Bennett, becomes a trophy of the Aero club of America The first cash prize of $2,900 goes to Lieutenant Lahm and the endurance medal to MT Rolls. who was the long, est in the air.

Convention Thursday.

Boston, Oct 1.-The democratic state convention is to be held Thurs day. but a permanent chairman is still to be chosen. At state commit tee headquarters 1t was said to-day that a chairman might be named to- morrow. The unusual situation pre- sented by the failure to decide upon the presiding ofiicer is largely the re- suit of the split in the state commit tee, caused by the candidacy of Dis trict Attorney John B. Moran for nomination as governor. George Fred Williams was named first for the po- sition. but he. as we'll as former May or John w. Coughlin of Fall River. declined to serve. Mr Williams will nominate Mir Moran at the conven- tion.

 All the towns in Connecticut held elections yesterday for town officers, except the towns of Ansonia, Bridge port, Derby, Hartford and New Hav- en. These towns, by charter changes comprise cities and the city charters or statutes provide for elections on designated days, other than the first Monday in October.
 The vote upon the question of bi- ennial meetings did not seem to at- tract particular attention. The towns had the right to accept or reject the proposition based upon the adoption at the October election last year of constitutional amendment The addi- tion of biennial elections will bring town meetings month before the bi- ennial state election and give year of quieture ]. At present several of the town officers are chosen biennially so the matter of town election every two years will not be radical change.
 On the license question there are not many changes from wet to "dry," as campaign for license usually Is met by rally of the no license advocates and when the votes are counted the results seldom change existing conditions in some towns ad- jacent to the cities. The towns bor- dering upon New Haven illustrate this and they almost invariably go for license. Yesterday East Haven went for license by a margin of 8 in a vote of 05 to ST. In Cheshire the ives" vote was 43 more than 'no". and in Milford D majority for license.
 The republicans had an overwhelm- ing victory in Meriden. The average majority was 4a4. The license vote was 2060 to 380 mo"
 Walter A. Main was elected first se- lectman in Orange by majority of 62. The democrats lost Branford by three votes and the republicans car ried Guilford.
