DEFEAT OF HOOKER PROTEST AGAINST
 THE FOLD GUARD"
Especial to the Farmer. )

Hartford, April 7.-The defeat of Mayor Hooker continues to agitate politicians who had expected an en- tirely different result. The victory won by the young Democratic law yer, Edward I. Smith, is attributed to many causes. Mayor Rockers own view of his defeat, that it was chiefly the result of the enmity of the churches, which did not like his liberal Sunday views, is not shared by everybody. The Hartford Times, for instance, points out that he prob ably gained as much one way as he lost the other, by his beliefs upon this subject
 The general view seems to be that the defeat of Hooker was caused by the resentment of a younger element of the Republican party who opposed the long rule of older men who have dominated Republican councils.
 The situation, indeed, is not dis similar to that in Bridgeport, where for several years the rank and file of the Republican party have strug- gled to throw off the grip of the dominant personalities who have controlled primaries and conventions for many years, making up in skill, cunning and organization what they lack in popularity.

LAKE DENIES ANY
 HOOKER KNIFING
SAYS HE WORKED FOR HIM IN THE HARTFORD NATIONALITY
 ELECTION.
Goodwin, His Gubernatorial Oppon- ent, Also Comes to His
 Defense.

There is a hot time on in Hartford Gubernatoria1 politics over the state ment made by ex-Mayor E. W. Hook CT there. regarding ex-Leut:-G Gov Everett J. Lake, who is a Republican candidate for Governor, that the op- position of his (dr. Lake's) friends was one of the causes of MT. Hooker defeat at the municipal election on Tuesday.
 In Consequence of this statement MT. Lake now finds it necessary to come cut and square himself with his po- litica1 friends in Hartford and he did so yesterday to a Times reporter, say ing: ffIf, contrary to my expressed wishes, any political friend of mine saw fit to vote for MT. B. L. Smith as against MT. Hooker. he had his own personal reasons for doing It..
 He then declared that he worked at the polls all day personally, and with lis automobile, for Hooker and the Re- publican ticket.
 ton with Executive Secretary Charles A. Goodwin. who is MT. Lakes rival for the Republican nomination for Governor, in reference to ex-Mayor Rockers statement Hooker is a Goodwin man.
 It should be stated that MT good e% Hooker. He does not hesitate to say that MT. Hooker deserved better from the people of Hartford than to be for reelection. He worked hard all day for the election of MT. Hooker and he would be likely to discover any evidence of disloyalty that might be shown to the ticket.
 ''I believe that MT. Lake was loyal to the Republican ticket and that he did what he could for the election of MT. Hooker and the entire ticket" said MT. Goodwin.
 ''How about MT. Lakes friends?"
 To this question MT. Goodwin re- piled that he had no reason to think that the Republican friend of MT. Lake were not loyal to the ticket. He believed they were loyal, and that they supported the candidacy of MT. Hook er MT. Goodwin further said that he could not see what object MT. Lake or his friends could have in not being loyal to the Republican ticket. MT. Lake is a Republican, and a strong one too. He is the personal friend of MT Hooker. They belong to the same and they have always been friendly.

ADVANCES WAGES
American Sugar Refining Go. Among
 First to Advance Wages


 First to Advance Wages
 American Sugar Refining Co. is the first of the larger and more import ant industrial corporations of the United States which has given the question of the increased cost of liv- ing practical recognition. For the past few months the agitation the part of hundreds of thousands of railroad employees has been bearing fruit in the shape of wage advances, the increases varying in most cases between 6Go and 8@o. American Sugar, however, has by it's own vol Untary action elected to advance the wages of the majority of it's thou ss nds of employees, the individual in- ereases ranging between % and 10Go. This action is understood to be based solely on the recognition by the management of the increased cost of living and is a voluntary step with out any u1terior purpose Not only that, but the sugar refining business is intensely competitive by nature that there is no way by which the American Sugar Co. can advance prices of refined sugars, even should it desire to do so, to a point that would make up the financial expense involved in the increase. In other words, unlike wage advances made by many corporations, the burden of this increase in wages must fall di- rectly and permanently upon the net earnings of the American Sugar Co.

EXCELLENT BILL FOR DEITz FUND
 SUNDAY NIGHT
All Star Bill Provided by Mana
 ger POli For Worthy Event.

The magnitude of the program for the Deitz Benefit Fund Concert at Polfs on Sunday evening next grows far beyond the expectations of the committee in charge and the re- sponse to the invitations to various PoI artists in the different theaters most gratifying. Today Manager Gull yer of the Meriden theater sent word tha6 three of the best acts on the bill at Polls in Meriden this week had contributed their services to the pro gram and two of the acts cancelled sunday night engagement else dentally favor Manager Poli. The acts are those of Estelle Hueston, one of vaudevil1es best singing com ediennes and Ten Brooks and Henry, talking and singing comedians of na- tiona1 fame.
 It is now thought that the vaude- mean more than a dozen selected acts and perhaps fifteen making the most pretentiouS array of profession als ever seen at benefit concert in this city.
 The police department through Clerk Clayton Smith reports an in creased demand for tickets daily and the chart at Poli's is rapidly being marked up owing to the fact that so many have exchanged seats. not able feature of the exchange of tickets at Polls is that seats in blocks of five and ten together seems to be the rule which would mean that theater parties will be the rule rather than the exception.
 One of the most active workers for the success of the benefit is Archi- bald McNeil, Jr.. chairman of the turns are all in it will be found that MT. McNeil has disposed of more than two hundred tickets which is quite an individual record. The box seats are now on sale with the first box lower sold to city officials and taken in it's entirety.

SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT THE PATENT MEDICINE BUSINESS.

t"The Fourth Estate has been warn ing publishers about the risk in allow ing credit to new medicine concerns. It is said that there have been only one two of the thousands of new proprietary medicine houses have made any considerable money that have started the past twenty years, and only a very few more that have met with even moderate success. It is the general impression that the business is immensely profitable while the facts are that there is a larger percentage of failures than in any other line. The new concerns usually start with lots of confidence in the merit of their goods and advertising but soon ex- haust their capital, leaving dealers who have stocked their medicines with unstable goods on their shelves. It is the experience of many publishers that have accepted this new business that they have been compelled to charge off their bills to profit and loss.
 There are many old and reliable medicine houses that continue. to do a good or increasing business from year to year, but the new ones are finding it more and more difficult tO become established.

Especial from United Press.)

Constantinpo1e, April 1.-The stabil- ity of the Young Turks regime is to- day seriously threatened by the growth of the Albanian revolt which has as sumed the proportions of a formidable reactionary uprising.

 Related messages arrived today tell ing of a heavy engagement in which several hundred were killed and injur- ed. The troops succeeded in check ing the advance of the rebels. The latter. however, were not decisiveIy beaten and were awaiting reinforce ments when today's messages were filed, preparatory to renewing the at tackS.

DETECTIVES CLAIM BANDIT MURDERERS
 ARE FOREIGNERS
Especial from United Fress.l

(SpGfIdI. HUH O IIIIo-1 [ 0s>Eo.
 Pittsburg, April 7.-Working in the theory that the bandits who shot and killed Manager Samuel Friedman and Cashier Ignatz Swartz of the Victor Bank at McKees Rocks and then es- caped with s4oo, are foreigners, and a. personal grievance against Friedman was the motive, detectives today re- stunned their search for the despera- does. According to Detective McMil- Han, it is not believed that the rob bers intended killing Swartz and the robbery was an after-thought, but it was only with the intention of fin ishing'' Friedman that the bandits en- tered the bank.
 Detectives today are attempting to locate three men who are supposed to have stolen skiff and then rowed across the Ohio river not far from the scene of the robbery.

There is an excuse maybe for city

the best actor may inadvertently drop
an accent, or trick of speech, occa-
sionally. Mr.. Dietrichstein "can not
lose" his; and this consistency on his
part made the performance double
joy. Neither Miss Beecher nor Mr..
Dietrichstein could detract one from
the other. The two characters and
the two players supplement each
other.
The whole performance bears the
stamp Of its producer, David Belasco.
