At the Majestic.

A famous play will be the bill
presented at the Majestic next week
by the North Players. General Man
ager North and Stage Director Blay-
lock have worked hard to give an
excellent presentation of the famous
play, and one is assured. The North
Players have been working with this
bill for the past month, knowing that
nothing short of a faultless production
would make the piece success.
The play itself needs no introduction
to the theatergoers of any state in
the union. 1t has been known from
coast to coast for twenty years or
more as one of the most thrilling
plays ever written. Many great stars
of the stage today. have played in it,
and thousands and thousands of peo-
pie have witnessed it. This vehicle
never loses it's interest nor its hold
upon the public.
Robert Blaylock will be seen in the
title role that of forger.. Sport North
will play the detective and Roy Hill
lizard has been given the character of
the German baron. The coming week
should be a redletter one for the Ma
jeStic theater.

$ Philadelphia, March 22.-With both sides hopeless1y dead1ocked, negotia- tions looking to a settlement of the differences between the Phi1ade1ph a Rapid Transit Company and it's strik- ing employees have been abandoned and interest shifted to the possibility of the calling of a Statewide strike. Par ticirants in the numerous peace con- ferences today declared they see no way of breaking down the ''defenses.' 9 Labor leaders conducting the strike here will meet with presidents of all local unions and hope to devise some means to keep the strike here from spreading.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa-. March 22-To de- eide whether or not union work1nen in every city. town and hamlet through out the State shall join in a State wide strike, the executive committee of the State Federation of Labor is in session here this afternoon.
 The big surprise today was the dec 1aration of prominent mine workers that, in the event Statewide strike be called, the miners will not respond.
 Members of the committee in dis cussing the situation said: FNThis means a whole lot to organized labor. and you can depend that no Statewide strike will be called until the matter has been given careful de1iberation.''

r. Torrington, March 22.-The body of ttJim'' Hogan, former Yale football captain and later deputy street clean ing commissioner of New York City, was buried in St. Francis Cemetery at Il o'clock today in the presence of hosts of friends, classmates, athletic comrades and citizens of Torrington. Without doubt the funeral procession was the longest ever seen in Torring- ton.

McMahon, George Goss, Edward Glass, Big Bill'' Edwards. all well known football play CTS and 'Con" Daley, the famous school, was also in attendance Owing to the inability of Rev. Ar thur Hogan, of New York, cousin of the deceased, to be present, the cele- brant of the high solemn requiem mass was the Rev. Joseph King, of Torring- ton. Rev. William Kennedy of Hart ford, Qne of Hogan's class mates, was deacone Rev. James Hennessey, of Ansonia. was sub-deacon.
 Long before the hour for the ser vices to begin St. Francis church wa s crowded to the doors. Every pew was occupied and people stood in a long respectful line in the street near the church door. The ceremony was one of the most impressive ever held in this section of the state. Perhaps the largest body representation at the funeral was sent by St. Francis To- tai Assistance and Benevolent Society and Division No. 1, A. o. H., of both of which Hogan was member. Full 1y 4O0- members of these organizations followed the bier to theacernetery.
 So many friends Weree1n attendance at the funeral that it was necessary to hire carriages from surrounding towns in order to accommodate all who went to the cemetery. A special train arrived here shortly after, g o'clock this morning, bringing a dele gation from New York and way sta tions.
 The active pail bearers were: Den his M. Hogan, Michael H.. Hogan, John P. Cook, Thomas J. Carroll, M. F. Dwyer, and John Hogan.
 The eulogy, which was very brief, was. pronounced by the Rev. Father Duggan, pastor here for the past thirty-three years. He reviewed the hardships of ,Hogan's early life and the ambition which helped him to withstand the trials and financial diff faculties until he was able to put him. self in position for better things. He particularly congratulated the in stitutio1s that prepared him for a short though useful life in the world
 Father Duggan characterized Hog ans faith in his religion one of the main factors in his remarkable successes from the day he left home for Exeter Academy.
