Are in Perfect Accord.

Are in Perfect Accord.
Danbury, July 30.-It was learned
here tonight that at a meeting held
in New York city this afternoon be-
tween representatives of the National
Association of Hat Manufacturers and
the executive board of the United Hat
ters of North America, an agreement
was reached whereby certain matters
of more or less technical nature and
which threatened to bring about trouble
and possibly strikes in the hat making
industry, were adjusted to the satisfac-
ton of both sides. The manufacturers
desired the modification of certain
rules regulating the work in the
shops modified and discussion, it is
understood, finally resulted in the find
ing of some common grounds of agree
ment. The settlement will prevent, it
is understood, the threatened trouble
among the hatters. The question of
the open shop was not brought up. All
Of the Danbury manufacturers were
present and many manufacturers from
other points of the country,

Not one tclue did he leave behind him

Johnson, who is the caretaker of Lake

This week his sister-in-law and his
children were to come down with him.
Before setting out for the city, how
ever, he told his family he was going
down to measure the depth of the wa
ter in the lake, but that he would be
directly back. But they waited and
waited for him, and after q consider
able time one of the family went down
to the lake to hurry him up, but he was
visible nowhere, His disappearance
was complete.

farmers and a posse was formed to
search the nearby woods. But sue

not found, nor was even any trace Of
him discovered.
Last night Bethany Lake was drag

As thought that, If he fell In, last even
ings search would have brought his
body to the surface, as the lake was
dragged in very thorough manner
Johnsons brother Frederick does no

other theory, either.
All the time Of his disappearance
Johnson wore soft black two dolla
hat, light pair Of overalls and
black sateen shirt.
When last seen by his family Mr.
Johnson was In his usual good spirits
