MAJOR HURLEY'S
Not True that He Has Resigned from National Guards Contemplat-
 ing Doing So, However.

A report has been industriously cir culated to-day that Major James J. Hurley of the First Battalion, Third regiment. c. N. G., and ranking officer in the city of Bridgeport. had rendered his resignation and that the document had been submitted to Col Gilbert L.. Fitch to be forwarded to Adjutant Gen. eral Cole at Hartford. To a Farmer representative this morning Major Hur- ley, said: Tt is not true that I have rendered my resignation. It is true that have had the matter under con- sideration for a long time but so far l have not arrived at any conclusion When l do reach a conclusion I shall be ready to announce it immediately"
 Major Hurley finds his time filled up with his private business and other duties and is looking for relief in some direction. He has been an officer of the National Guard for many years and much has been accomplished through his untiring efforts. Should the state decide to enlarge the armory here it will add much to the duties of the commanding officer of the state troops in this city.
 Along with the report of the retire ment of Major Hurley came conjec- lures as to his probable successor Capt. Louis J. Hermann of the 11th Company Coast Artillery is next in the line of promotion to the position of Major. It is reported that Capt Herr mann does not care for advancement In that case 1t is reported that Capt. Clifford B. Wilson will seek the office Major Hurley has been one of the most popular officers in the state. While he IS a strict disciplinarian his subordi- mates respect him and have absolute faith in his judgment and fairness.

Fancy mohair.

From England, where fin est mohairs are made, there has just come one lot of fan cy mohairs worth quick att tention. Two-toned stripes give each piece in the lot a special attractiveness. They have a luster which is un- usual; gleam like polished metal. Their weight is good, too. Run them through the fingers and they have that firm stout feel that marks durable fabrics.

SCHREIBER GOT MORE
 VOTES THAN MILLER
Ten Democratic Aldermen Caucused on Harbormas- ter Nomination.

A caucus of ten Democratic alder men was held last evening and after a session of two hours during which the merits of former alderman John c. Miller of the 12th district and Fred erick Schreiber the well known street department foreman were discussed in connection with the nomination for harbormaster. MT. Schreiber was nom- mated as he received more votes than MT. Miller. An opinion was express ed at the caucus that in view of the splendid record of the Republican nom- inee, Harbormaster Charles H. Morris, the Democrats could find abundant precedent within, the party for SUD- porting him. Aldermen McMurray and Mahoney did not attend the eau GUS. The election. of a harbormaster will be held next Monday night. The term is for three years. The Tele- gram this morning announced that the caucus did not agree upon a candidate. Evidently the informant of the Tele- gram is trying to put that paper 'in bad.''

Special from United Press. :,

Tapma, Feb. 13.-Jack Wade, color ed, was lynched today at Lakeland 30 miles from here, for an attempted criminal assault upon Miss Irma New ell of Lakeland. Wade was arrested at Trilby. The sheriff attempted to get him into the county jail at Bar low without going through Lakeland, but a mob in the latter place met the train at a way station, seized Wade and lynched him. Wade was tied to a tree and his body riddled with bull lets.
 Wade was first strung up to the tree and then cut down in the hope that he would make a statement but he would not talk. He was the sixth negro ar- rested for the crime. one of whom. Will Crumley. had a narrow escape from being burned at the stake on Wednes- day. Just as the match was being ap- piled the sheriff rescued him. Crumley later established his innocence and was set free. The jail at Lakeland has been unguarded by the state militia until yesterday.

KNOX RESOLUTION RAISES A TURMOIL
 IN LOWER HOUSE
Attempt to Remove Obstacle to His Becoming Member of Cabinet Is Strongly Op- posed.
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press)
 Washington, Feb. 13.-The Knox en- abling resolution of the Senate popped up in the House today and created a turmoil. Representative Henry, Oem- ocrat, Texas), demanded to know whether the Senate resolution had been referred to committee. He was informed by the Speaker that it was on the table but would be referred to the committee on election of Presi- dent, Vice President and Representa- lives. Henry then demanded that the resolution be referred to the Judiciary committee.
 A long parliamentary discussion en- sued. The Speaker finally ruled a motion that the bill be referred to the Judiciary committee out of order and made reference himself to the commit tee on election of President, Vice Pres tdent and Representatives. He admit ted that this reference could be cor rected if the House saw fit. How ever, the minority members gave up their attempt.
 House is known to be unfriendly to all attempts to repeal the provisions of the legislative, executive and Judicial appropriation bill so as to permit Sen- ator Knox to serve as Secretary of State, believing that 1t is unconstitu- tiOnal 1nasmuch as the salary of that office was raised during Knox'S ser vice in the Senate.
 There were four Republicans and four Democratic members of the com mittee present today.

New fancy black mohaiirs.

It does not seem as though black fabric could have such beauty. Why it doesn't seem to be black at all. It seems to have more life than one would dream black could have.
 Here are plain blacks that just sparkle with life. Here are black checks, both large and small, and the check is as plainly as though it were of a separate color. Here are stripes as distinct as black is from white.
 And over them all, and in them all, is a luster which is delightful. It is the luster of a gleaming jewel, of a shin ing light. It is simply sur prising. And satisfying. Never have we seen such handsome black mohairs- never.

MARCKO MUST
 STOP BUILDING
Third Story Added to His Property Gets Attention of Building Inspector Rowland.

The Building Commission through Inspector Daniel Rowland has ordered A. Marcko to cease the erection of an additional story to a. three story house at Ogden and Pembroke streets, on the ground that it extends beyond the building line and because the material with which it is being built is not up to standard. The testimony taken in the case by the commission was very confusing, as an interpreter was em- ployed, and while Marcko and the in terpreter seemed to get along famous ly, one Francesca who has an inter est in Marcko'S 'nture could not con- meet with the ir cerpreter though he did understand Marcko.
 | The commission showed its good sense by leaving the matter to the building inspector.
