STRIKERS MOB

Special from United Press.)

Especial from United PreSS.)
 Berlin, Sept. 28.-s"The clashes of the last two nights between the strik- CTS in the Moabite precinct and the police, were nothing less than the signs of a grave revolution. They were of immeasurably more gravity than mere attacks by mob on the police.''
 This was the import of an official communication by Insp ector Won Jagow to the government today. Von Jagow declares that the heavy char acter of the disturbance was mainly seen in the systematic plan worked out by the strikers
 'sThe revolt was organized down to the smallest detail" he says, "and the rioters answered to a. complete system of signals When finally dis persed the strikers sang the Mar seilles' the hymn of the revolution ists.'
 Although the communication does not mention the Socialists by name there is question but that it aim ed at them. The majority of the la boring men involved in the riot are highly paid and skilled worlxmen and the trouble was the result of seeth- ing political discontent rather than because of dissatisfaction over wages. according to many. .
 The Moabite nrecinct was again quiet today but fresh trouble is ex- pected tonight The police force in that section is being increased.

Especial from United PreSS.) Saratoga, N- r., Sept. 2a.-The full extent of the Roosevelt victory of yes terday only came home to the dele gates to the Republican State Con vention as they dragged themselves from their beds today. Not only had the "Old Guard lost in their fight to control the convention and dictate the platforms but today they had lost their last buIwark of influence, the that body and the new chairman, Lloyd GriscoIn his personal lieutenant, have the solid New York delegation to the next Republican convention at his back. His enemies admit he can nominate himself or anyone he may insurgent commonwealth of the west behind him and his "New National isIn.''

Early today he said that he antici- pated hot debate and announced that Speaker Wadsworth would make the keynote" speech for the anti direct primary men.
 It was a heavy eyed bunch of dele gates that wended their way to con sion.

MILK MAY 60 UP
 IN BRIDGEPORT
PRICE WILL JUMP FROM EIGHT TO NINE GENTS AROUND
 THE STATE

New Haven, Sept. 2S.-Beginning early in October the retail price of milk in New Haven and vicinity will be raised one cent a quart to meet the increased price made by the farm CTS, so that when the advance goes into effect the price here will be nine cents, inst cad of eight as at present. Mine cents probably will be the price all through the winter and up to early spring. there being little pros- pect at the present time that 1t can be sold for less sum profftably. Ma turally when the price of milk is raised everybody wants to know what sent 1t up and the farmer is only too glad to come forward with his req sons. There are just two reasons for the. forthcoming advance, namely the incfease in the cost of hay and grain. and the scarcity of labor the latter. affecting the price of this necessity food stuffs. The farmers claim that it Is hard to get the proper help on their farms for any length of time If good steady men could be employ. ed. With hay at $2S a ton and mid d1ings at the same price the farmers to continue the summer price of milk hence the raise.
 George c. Platt of the New Haven. Dairy company says that while milk at the present time is selling for eight cents. in all probability it would cost one cent more by the middle of October, if not before. MT. Platt said that New Haven is the only city of any size in the state where milk is selling at 8 cents a quart. Hartford, Stamford. Waterbury and Bridgeport having charged cents for some time. Springfield milk dealers also get nine cents 9 quart, so 1t can be seen that New Haven has been getting the best milk for a cent less than many of her neighbors. The farmer used to get four cents quart wholesale, but he now demands four. and 8 half and five cents, 50 &he dealers, in order to

Secretary Wilson, OF lhe Department Of

Creature is Very Green As to Piumage
But in Other Directions Not ut All
Among the articles offered for sale at
an auction few days ago. says the De-
troit Free Press, was parrot. The bird
was in big cage and was very green 90
far as his plumage was concerned but no
further.
Apparently realizing that he was about
to be subjected to the indignity Of being
stood on the auction block, the parrot
seemed determined not to be knocked
down without hearing, and some OF his
remarks caused the women to stuff their
handkerchiefs into their ears and the
men to laugh uproariously.
As the bird was picked up by the auc-
tioneer and held aIoft so that all might
have good view of him the parrot
promptly greeted the assembIaRe with
''Ah, deelightedr'
How much am / bid for him2' cried
the auctioneer.
Fifty cents.'' lisped ar old lady, and
as she did so the parrot cooked his head
to one side aud shouted: "MaryI MaryP
'Twouldn't pay the price Of the cage"
walled the auctioneer. "WelI, I'm offered
fifty centsE Any other bids2'
Seventy five centsr' shouted man
on the fringe of the crowd. As though
trying to stir up strife between the first
and second bidders the parrot broke in
With, "Get the axel Mary, Mary, get the
axeP' Then, as if to prove that be was
a parrot of many parts, he sang something
about "WaItz Me Around Again Willie"
The auctionesr, evidently thinking that |
the parrot was making a hit with the |
crowd, permitted him to Werble the mel |
ody for some time and then announced |
that the bird should bring at least $40.
"0i, 0il'' screeched the parrot, and the |
auctioneer smilingIy asked for good,
generous bid.
'1'll blow couple OF bones on hiuiP'
,alled the man who stood before the par
OTIS cage. Immediately the parrot caught
Up the word "blow" and blurted out,
BLOW, blow yourself! Ha, ha, hal Blow

As the parrot was handed over TO his
purchaser, a jolly faced German, who
aid he would teach him Low Dutch"
he parrot, evidently enraged, said things
which no self-respecting parrot ever
you'd dream of saying in polite society.
hen as he was carried out into the street
y his new owner, the bird mumbled to
imseIf despairingly, "Ob, h-Ip
