MARKS WILL TALK TO MANUFACTURERS
 ON ILLUMINATION

The November dinner of the Manu- lecturers association is just an- nounced, together with the speaker and the subject of his address. Thurs day night at the Stratfeid. the Manu- facturers convene for the first time this season, in resumption of those popular get-together gatherings which have done So much to make that body almost a fraternal club {. They have not only increased the membership until it comprises prac- hcally every manufacturer in the city, big or little, but that mysterious influence of "feet-under-the-sa table, now starting its third year, has created a sort of brotherhood among the manufacturers who, in other communities, are often found as bitter business. rivals Business men are invited to attend.
 They are to listen to an address by l.. B. Marks, a consulting nluminat- ing engineer of New York, on the general subject of Illuminating En- gineering, with especial reference to factory lighting. MT. Marks address will be illustrated, and is divided in- to an analysis of daylight illumina- tion, and night illumination. The extent of the field as a study for a trained engineer will be surprising to many. The subdivisions of daylight illumination alone comprise in part some of the following considerations: Brightness of sky, relative light loss es from adjacent buildings, light loss es through plain window glass (clear), light diffused through plain, ground, prismatic and ribbed glass, together with comparative illumina- ton derived from eack; sidewalk and basement lighting, skylight and roof lighting; indirect lighting, etc..
 Under night illumination, Mr. Marks will treat of quantity. diffusion and direction of light; quality or color, special systems of direct, indirect and local illumination with combinations of these three; characteristic distri- button with various forms or reflect ors, focussin. intensive and exten- sive; discussion of the general QueS- ton of good and bad practice in lighting; principle of contrast; charts and tests of many concrete rases, with discussion Of their merits and demeritS.
 One of the characteristic features of these monthly dinners, is the most habit manufacturers have, of eating by the clock. Din- ners are usually announced for 6:3O D. m, and the members and their guests, proceeding directly from their at the time announced. This makes it possible for the many who enjoy the dinners in themselves, to meet later appointmenes at the theatre and elsewhere.

BY-PRODUCTS co. 1, ASKS COLLECTION
 OF SI,OOO CHECK

The Board of Health will wrestle with the garbage reduction problem again tonight, and in view of the continued silence of Charles H. Wheel wr.ght, President of the American Extractor Co. steps will be taken to cash in the s1,000 certified check de- posited> by WheelWright as guar antee of good faith,- when he signed the contract to reduce the city's gar bage.
 This sum has given consfderable worriment to the Bridgeport. .By-Pro- ducts Co.,, who have taken steps to formally warn the city not to be neg hgent- in the matter of collection of the check.
 At the last meeting of the Board of Health, Commissioner Bogart offered motion that the $1, 900 check wh ch has been repoSing ill the safe of Supt. Birmingham at police headquarters, be deposited for collection. None sec Onded his motion.
 Today City Clerk Boucher received from the Bridgeport By-PrOducts Co. and the Aetna Indemnity Co.,, by their counsel, Marsh, <Stoddard & Day, the following communication, addressed to the city Attorney, and the City of Bridgeport:
 We are informed that the city of
 
 certain bond, certified check or other obligation in the amount of $1 ,00O by reason of the failure of the Ameri- can Extractor Co. to fulfill it's obli- gat.ons to the city and that the city is likely to fail to take the proper pro- ceedingS to enforce said obligations.
 "Since the city is alleging that the undersigned has violated certain con- tracts with the city and has brought suit upon such alleged violation we hereby notify you that if you have in fact suffered damage as you allege (which we do and shall deny) and if you have any suchi right of action as above mentioned or any other, by which you can in whole Or in part avoid or .reduce such damages if an exist. and fail to enforce the same, We shall hold you responsible there fore by all legal means and remedies available to us.''
 At the meeting of the Board of Health this evening the Wheelwright proposition will likely be dismissed from the further consideration of the board, much to it's disappointment, for it was regarded as extremely advan- tageous to the city. The next best bidder was Charles E. Fisher of Penn sylvania, who proposes to reduce the garbage for S1 per ton. But it re- mains for the commissioners to take action tonight as to whether they will seek to do business with MT. Fisher.

WILL FORGE PARLIAMENT
 TO DISSOLVE
Special from United Press.>

Especial from United Press.)
 London, Nov. 15-Parhament reas sembled in due form today. but on the verge of an upheaval which may re. suit in 9 political revolution in Eng land. The business of today's session was purely routine, owing to the lack of time in which Premier AsQuith in tended to prepare his formal statement to the Commons and the Lords.
 After this mornings cabinet meet ing. it was announced that Premier AsQuith would defer making his for mai statement to parliament until Fri day. This is not taken to mean that the ministers have receded from their position to force a dissolution of par lament and a new general election. bu; that they wish further time in which to strengthen their position before go- ing before the people.
 The sole issue at the pending general election will be the question of remov- ing from the. hereditary House of Lords the right to veto bills passed by the elected House of Commons which the question of Irish home rule made an incidental matter.
 The Liberals are in the saddle and trouble Is anticipated should they prove successful in the general election. The
  fairs, was rec.pitated by the Lords themselves. Lloyd-George, the Eng fish Chancellor, introduced in the Com mons a budget for 1910 from which receipts and disbursements of the gov ernment were made up. This famous budget was, according to the Peers, almost Socialistic in some of its de- nands upon the rich and the exemp- ton of the poor. Nevertheless, the measure. by a large majority. was passed by the Commons and sent to the Lords by approval. Instead the Lords vetoed the budget and England was in an unusual position. The Com mons refused to recede from their orig iRal stand It was finally agreed that parliament should be dissolved and a general election called. If the Liber- als won, the Lords agreed tn- paSs-the LloydGeorge budget.
 There was considerable talk, during the electioneering. of taking away from the Lords the right to veto meas ures inaugurated by the Commons. The Liberals won and the Lords passed the famous budget
 At the present session the Liberals majority was not sufficient to ensufe the defeat of the Lords, and the Lib- erals, headed by. Premier Asquith, pre- cipitated matters by preparing to have the Liberal ministry resign and call for a new general election The Lib eral element has been growing strong of late and the Asquith followers be- neve such a majority will be rolled up in the House of Commons to ensure all the Liberal measures or success,
