FIREMEN'S INCREASE TO BE DISCUSSED
 BY BUSINESS MEN

At the regular September meeting of the Bridgeport Business Mems associa- tion in the assembly room of The Stratfield, this evening at 8 o'clock, the subject of the proposed increase in the salaries of f1remen, will come up for discussion. Taxpayers interested and any who desire to express their views either for or against the pro position are invited to be present. AS the expenditure is a large one it is believed that business men are inter- ested in it. Members of the board of fire commissioners will be present and the discussion will be informal. At the last meeting of the directors this topic was made the chief subject for the regular meeting. The report of the outing committee will also be heard.
 Representative George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill has accepted an invitation to appear before the Business Men's association on the first Tuesday in October and give a. talk on legislative matters As MT. Chandler was one of

Prof. Collins Reception
Opening of Dancing School for Fall and Winter Set for October ,.

Much interest is being taken in the opening reception of Prof. Charles J. Collins dancing class at the Social Session Hall, Elks' building. State street, Tuesday evening, Oct. 5 Prof. Collins is one of the foremost dancing masters in these parts and his annual schools for dancing are invariably most literally patronized& by select pupils. All of the new dances so pop ular with the younger set are to be taught and the professor will have a most efficient corps of floor assistants. Those who desire to arrange to attend the opening reception can do so by sending their names to the professor or by procuring tickets from any one of his former pupils. This is a rare chance for all who are interested in the art of dancing to become pro- fc:ent in the pastime under agreeable auspices. Personal attention is given to each pupil and the opening recep- ton promises to be one of the most important events of it's kind locally this season.

THE 10 PER CENT LAW
Judge Holcomb Does Not Think it Applies
 to Vote on October 4.

Attorney General Holcomb was ask ed yesterday if he had given an opin- ion on the act of the last General As- sembly which requires that 10 per cent. of the voters of any town must sign a petition to the selectmen for a. vote upon the question of license or no license in order to have it legal.
 Judge Holcomb said that he had re- ceived many requests for an opinion on the act, but had replied in every instance, first, that the matter did not lie within his province as attorney general. He then went on to say that, as a lawyer, he did not feel that the act affected the votes to be taken at any annual town meeting held on Ocv tober 4, 1909. The act, he said, be- comes effective on October 1, but the existing law provides that the select men shall issue their warning for town meetings not less than five days before the meeting is called, which this year brings the issuing of the call into the month of September, a date prior to the time at which the act be- comes effective.
 The call must be made in accord ance with the law in force at the time it is issued, and in this case the pe- tition for vote on the license ques- tion must be signed by not less than twenty-five voters instead of 10 per cent. of the voting list. Towns hav- ing a voting list containing 250 or more

Hartford. Sept. 21.-Dr. F. J. Foster 1f Vermont. an adopted son of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, said yesterday afternoon at the home of Dr. Robert C. Hannon that he was certain that his foster mother. Mrs. Eddy. was dead and had been dead for some time, though information of her end had been concealed from the public by a coterie of Christian Scientists.
 He, with Dr. Hannon, who incident ally would like to become Mrs. Eddy s successor and thus consummate a compact which he alleges Mrs. Eddy made with nim years ago which in substance was that he as the only qualified and logical successor should take up her work when she died. is positive that clique in Boston has been perpetrating a gigantic fraud on the public for some time.
 He also intin1ates that vast sums of money donated for church work are either being hoarded up in the vaults of the society or have been diverted to improper private uses pr. Hannon further declares that legal action will soon be taken against the alleged plot terS.

The Common Council. by a resolu tion unanimously adopted, asked City Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan to show them the way out of the blunder that was made when the so-called Rail road" Harbor line was made. It now appears that the job was bungled so that two lines were laid in front of the property of the Locomohile works. This, the aldermen are given to under stand. is the same in effect as if no line were laid at this point The re- suit is that eleven acres were given to the New Haven Railroad, Intentionally and some 25 or 30 acres to the Loco mobile Company of America. uninten- tionally, although there is a shrewd suspicion that some of the insiders knew pretty well what was being done.
 The resolution was offered by Alder man Eugene Meyer. The City Attor- ney is asked to determine if the blunder in laying the line invalidates the entire action. or only so much of it as relates to the portion of the line from a point at the center of the breakwater to the foot of Main street. Iris is the portion of the line affecting the Locomobile Company.
