Especial from United Press.)
 Cleveland, Aug. "A brand new Ananias Club has been organized py the claimants to the reward Of $l5,0OO offered by the State of Pennsylvan1a for the apprehension of the kidnap- pers of Billy Whitla, and a stormy hearing is on to-day at the Central Police Station, where candidates will present their claims.
 Chief of Police Koh1er and man named O'Reilly who claims to have given the first clue to the whereabouts of the boy were present. When O'Reilly was relating his part of the sensational capture of the Boyles yes terday, Chief Kohler interrupted with an irnputation that the saloon keeper had withheld his information from the police for a length of time to enable him to sell the fugitives s200 worth of liouor. "You're a liar Chief" yelled O'Reilly half rising. Every word you have uttered is malicious lie"
 J. B. B. Cunningham, deputy attor- ney general of Pennsylvania, who is conducting the hearing, interfered as pacificator. To-day detectives and officers will go on the stand to tell how under. Chief Kohler, i've cap tured and convicted the kidnappers."
 Under fire of cross-examination by attorneys for the claimants it is said the police will be compelled to testify concerning Detectives Barnhard and Moore who were reduced to the ranks for their failure to round up the BOyleS.

The summer stock season is fast drawing to a close, but there is no let up on the part of MT. Poh in the securing of the very best of material in the way of plays and attractions to close the season with. It will be sure to close in a blaze of glory. Only four more weeks remain, but in that time four of the very best successes will be given by the famous all star stock company. Starting with mati- nee on Monday the Man On the Box will have it's initial performance. It will be sure to please the patrons of this popular playhouse. The plot is meagre, but the comedy is all that the lover of a good laugh desires. The Man on the Box" was the play used by that world wide known comedian, Henry Dixey for starring tour and was used with the greatest financial as well as artistic success for three seasons. The story is one of interest.

ANARCHISTS SPUR
 SWEDISH STRIKERS
Special from United Press.)

Stockholm, Aug. 1.-The first Anar- chist display in the Swedish strike was manifested today by a group of Anarchists who are making valiant effort to drive the f1agging spirit of are in conference with the labor lead CTS and though the latter disclaimed any connection with the Reds" the activity of the later caused apprehen- sion among the authorities
 While no serious clashes have yet oc- cured between the troops and the strikers the leniency shown by the soldiers in the small outbreaks indi- cates clearly that they are in strong sympathy with the strikers and may not prove desirable opponents.
 Strikers paraded the streets today singing the ''Marseilles" and the "1n- ternatiopal." There were few recruits to the strikers ranks today and the declaration is made that the strike will wear itself out in a few days. Many grave diggers have returned to work and the break is imminent in the ranks of other unions.
 Indications today are that the rail- way employees will not strike. Even in case they do walk out, the govern ment declares that it will be able to run trains without interruption. The food scarcity was slightly relieved to- day by the bringing in of large stores from surrounding towns. Prices, how ever, are still almost prohibitive and a plan is under way by the govern ment to relieve the situation.

JAPAN BUILDING
 RAILROAD UNDER
 GUARD OF TROOPS
(special from United Press)

Especial from United Press.)
 London, Aug. 7.-The foreign office is in receipt of messages from Tokio that Japan has commenced work on the construction of the Antung-Muk- den Railway thereby carrying out the ultinatum which Japan submitted to the other powers yesterday. The work is being done under guard of the Mikado's troops. Hundreds of Chinese soldiers are stationed along the line, the dispatches say. but they are not of sufficient strength to offer any resistance should occasion arise.
 English representatives in the far east who are keeping the foreign of fee posted -claim the situation most threatening. The Milcado declares that Japan is entitled to reconstruct the railway under the treaty of 1905 and he attributes China's attitude to the re-actionary tendencies of Prince Ching, the regent. Minister Jordan sends word that the Chinese govern ment has informed him that the An tung-Mukden Railway will be com mercially useless to Japan and is be- ing built purely for military purposes and to be used as a club to extract CO ~assio~~ from Ct1ina

BAN ON CATHOLIC
 CHILDREN REMOVED
Winsted in Town Meeting Finally Determines Vex-
 ed Question. !
HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION

wfnsted, Aug. 7.@The question of providing a High School education for the children of Winchester, which has been the cause of much agitation for the past year, as a result of the en- forcement of a provision in the will of William Gilbert, the founder, that no child who has been educated in a parochial school shall be admitted, to the Gilbert school now used by the town as a. High school, was satisfac- torily adjusted at the special town meeting held last night at the request of Catholic petitioners.
 The meeting was attended by about 900 voters and was in session twelve minutes. Representative George Car rington presided and immediately after the reading of the call, Representative R. T. Higgins, one of the towns most prominent Catholics, presented the fol- lowing resolution which was passed with hardly a dissenting voice: voted, that the School committee of the town of Winchester be and they hereby are authorized, empowered and directed to provide suitable High School accOmmO- dations and facilities for all children of the town of Winchester who may be qualified and who may make applica- tion therefor, either by establishing High School course of four years; by providing free tuition in any estab- lished school of High School grade in the town, or by a one-year course of High School work in our public schools and the remainder of the course in an established school of High School grade in the town"
 MT. Higgins said the resolution was drawn, at a joint meeting of the conn mittee appointed at meeting of the men of St. Joseph's church and a conn. mittee of prominent citizens. and that 1t was understood that a one-year High School course will be provided at the public school in a. separate room and with separate teachers the children to enter the Gilbert School after the first year and with the hope of ultimately combining the High with the Gilbert School. N
 Upon the completion of their studies they will receive Winsted High School diplomas instead of Gilbert School di- plon1as.
 MT. Higgins thought the arrange ment a. satisfactory one and urged its passage. Colonel w. B. Smith also favored the resolution, he being the only other speaker.

BIG TOBACCO CROP
 IS NOW ASSURED
Harvesting of Early Grown Begun-Of Especially
 Good Quality
THE BEST IN YEARS

Bloomfield, Aug. 7.-Harvesting of the early grown crop of tobacco is well under way and several of the large corporations have large acre age already housed and in process of curing, and this present weeks end will find a large proportion of the early crop under cover. The Krohn Tobacco Company, one of the largest growers on the Bloomfield plains, has 115 acres of the weed, of. which four acres are under shade. One acre is Halliday Havana, the remainder Con necticut Havana. The Krohn com pany is now engaged in harvesting the crop by the method of priming. the stringing is done by girls and pierce and string the leaves. forty to the string. which is fastened to the laths and hung in the shed.
 The Krohn company has already grown tobacco and the second priming is being made. They have also talk en the first priming from the regular Havana seed and early in the week about forty acres had been primed. About 100 persons are employed in the harvesting thus far and probably more help will be required to handle the crop. In addition to the large and well equipped plant of the com pany an experiment in plant breeding
  ed for the Connecticut Experiment station under the management of Dr. B. M. East, Ph. D., and H. K.- Hayes as assistant. The United States gov ernment is also taking data from spe- cial plants under shade, which is un- der the supervision of J. B. Stewart, tobacco expert.
 F. B. Griffin, vice-president and manager of the Krohn Tobacco Conn pany, says that the outlook at present for the 1909 crop is of the best and that barring all weather conditions unfavorable to the growth and cur ing of crops, one Of the finest crops had in a number of years may be expected this year. The recent rains have materially helped the growth of tobacco and the conditions have great ly changed since the early. summer drouth. t,'' F
 Other tobacco in the vicinity of North Bloomfield is also looking fine and most of it will be cut in two or three weeks. Messrs. Gabb and Mo Cormick have about fourteen acres in this section, which is said to be very handsome, and also the same may be said of Byron B. Barnard's fourteen acre piece of Connecticut Havana. The other tobacco corporations, such as the American Tobacco Culture Company and Olds & Whipple, have large acre ages of tobacco which is being har- vested in the,usual manner. It is re- ported as especially fine in growth and texture.
 The total acreage of tobacco grown in town and on Bloomfield plains is upwards of 400 acres.
