It's too bad those Tigers couldn' t
have been rejuvenated just about
one game sooner and taken the
series from Portland. We would
have been gracing second step to-
day and would have had that much
of a start over the Spokane In
dams. But then there's no use of
filing gall that will have to be
done is to win the series, and If the
heavy smuggling the Bengals have
shown in the last few games con-
tinues 1t will come easy.
In batting averages for the sea-
son so far Spokane has the ad-
vantage, Netzel, Kippert, Frisk,
Zimmerman and Nordyke all being
in the 800 class. In the field they
have nothing on us. and our pitch
ers are Just as good. We've made
Spokane fight before, and it was
hard work for them to slip that
series over on us last May. Since
then we're different team alto
gether.

 Col. Ike UIIman ,Butterworth Declares the Re publican Leader Admits
 Being a Boss

well, MT Butterwoftf1, what do you
 think of what Col Ullman said of
 you Tuesday night at the republican
 dinner, that is, that you are sore
 head and the third ticket movement
 was composed of disappointed office
 seekers?' was asked of the city citi-
 zens' candidate for mayor in New Ha-
 ven, last night. He said:
 That sounds rather like an Ull-
 man remark. Our issue in this cam
 paign is bossisn, machine control and
 politics in city government where it
 oughtn't to be. The colonel admits
 that the cap fits him as far as being
 boss is concerned by answering, but
 he doesn't discuss the issues but calls
 us names. He would be more inter-
 esting and honest if he discussed his political activities, his secret deals, and the methods by which he exer- cises control over New Haven poli- tics There are the things that are of interest, and not conversation about soreheads delivered to a body of men trained to applaud and follow any of the colone1s remarks.''
 "Republican organization men and some others are saying, senator, that vote for you is a vote lost and will be vote taken from Frank Rice and, therefore. for Martin"
 T 6Ss I lk1lOW they dTG Il kuOW there are number of people-quite a nnmber-enough to elect me-who say that they want to vote for me and against the boss and the machine, but that it is impossible to elect me. want to say to you that if the men who want to vote for me do vote for me, I will be elected. These excuses too often indicate a lack of courage l to do what is right with faith that results will be good if one does the right thing. When opposed the | combined machines and corrupt poli- ticians in running for the Congress sional nomination year ago, every one said didn't have ghost of a show and few good people in this town lifted 8 finger to help in the fight. If just a few citizens of this city had put shoulder to the wheel, I the machine and corruptionists would have been beaten.
 Someone said the other day that ]
 was always tearing things down. Un- | til you tear rotten thing down, you
 can't build a good thing in its place Is it wrong to want to put out a
 boss and his political machine and put in clean self-government in its place? Is it wrong to tear down an old ramshackle building and build a | new modern one? Is it wrong to try to raise the standards of our city life
 and make New Haven better city
 and a more attractive home? I do not | think it is.

 SeleCtmen'S Action

Special from United Press.)

Especial from United PreSSo
 New, Haven. Sept. 2S-In an official
 statement just issued, the prohibition
 ists openly charge that the board of
 selectmen were unfair and that the
 selectmen are suppressing information
 on the no-license vote question. The
 statement, in part. follows:
 We wish to call the attention of the
 public to some very peculiar things in
 the trial of this case. From the day our petition was filed, up to the pres
 ent hearing, the press of New Haven
 repeatedly stated that selectmen were,
 by committee of it's own appoint
 ment,7 endeavoring to ascertain the
 number of legally registered voters on
 the petition.
 Ut developed before the first hear ing that the committee examinging the petition were selected by the li- quor dealers and were under pay py the liquor dealers
 saThe corporation counsel advised the | selectmen that it was their business 1 to make an investigation as to the | number of names and the legality of | the petition
 l The selectmen, so far as we have l ascertained, have made no effort 1 whatever to find the names on the I petitioners registered Ast of 1910 They | have simply heard the parties in in | terest. Our Attorney, MT. Bishop, ! asked the selectmen at their session, | registrars before them to give infor- l nation as to the street and number of the various petitioners son the reg l istrars' list. The selectmen promised to have these deputy registrars pres ent on Monday night of this week.
 'tNothing was done. by the select men, Saturday and sunday, toward the accomplishment of this object. It was not until noon of Monday that we discovered no steps had been taken | to secure their presence. We then l furnished an automobile for the se- l lectmen to use in taking notice to the various deputy ward registrars. | .'The selectmen were able to obtain | the presence of three out of 30 depdty ward registrars.

Scene from cover Night at Park Theatre
POLI's

Little Billy is still the favorite at Polls Theatre this week. This act alone is we'll worth the price of ad- mission and is one that every man, one of! the smallest comedians that has ever appeared at this theatre and P ncan dance far ahead of some of the life size performers who grace the boards and every number he puts on is big hit It is very Amusing to hear the, comments of the audience upon the rise of the curtain of his act when d little man less than three feet in heigi1th, attired in eyening dress, top hat and cane appears from behind the plu ush curtain. Little. Billy has very pleasing way and has the recitation of James Whitcomb Rileys famous poem Orphan Annie with ap- puropriate setting is making a big hit.
 Jere Grady and Co present a very amusing playlet entitled .The Butter fly. The plot of the sketch is out of the ordinary the scene being laid in the dressing room of theatrical star. Jere Grady in the character of wealthy Irish contractor who is try ing to keep his son from falling in love with the actress is very clever ly done and keeps the audience in roars of laughter.
 
 songs that are making a big hit and has snappy way of putting them over that pleaseS. She makes three complete changes of costumes and has some very classy dresses. The LaToy Bros. present something new in the pantomimic line. They are extremely clever acrobatic dancers and the ease and grace with which they perform their numerous difficult tricks are making them favorites at every per- formance.
 The Kaufman Bros. black face comedians have a very funny act and one that keeps the audience in roars of laughter. It is an act that is hard to. describe but if you have a bad case of the blues here is a chance for a good long hearty laugh.
 Kenno and Green singers and danc- CTS are very good especially the aero batic dancing of MT. Kenno. Their interpretation of Alexanders Ragtime Band is very funny and gets them we'll earned applause
 The Weston Sisters in a neat mus ical act are going well at every per- formance. The three playing at the piano is a novelty and the cello and violin playing and singing is very cleverly done. The cornet trio at the finish is well rendered The young la- dies make very pretty apeparance in their neat costumes and hold the at- tention of the audience from the rise or the curtain Manager Poli has se- cured two very good comedy pictures for the electrograph that pleases the children and the grown folks as well. Tickets are selling fast for the bal ance of the week so if you have not already secured your seat do not de- lay in ordering tickets

MORE MILLS TO REOPEN. Fall River Iron Works Company to
 Start Seven Oct. 9.

{ Fall River. Mass. Sept. 2s-The inn provement in New England industry recorded during the early part of Sep tember, when S5,00O cotton mill opera tives resumed work, is further accen- tuated by the posting of notices on the gates of the Fall River Iron Works Company announcing that the big plant would start the machinery in all seven mills of. the corporation on Oct. g. The mills have been shut down since Aug. 5, and during the nine weeks idleness many Of the 5000 operatives have left the. city.
 The Fall River Iron Works Com pany is controlled by M. c. D. Borden of New York, whose factories and print works constitute the largest cot ton plant in the world owned by an individual.
 Previous to the shut down the iron works mills were operated but four days weekly for six weeks, and for six weeks before this short-ti1ne per- iod the plant was idle alternate weeks.
 The print-cloth industry has shown an improvement this month, and the amount of idle machinery in other mills here is being gradually decreas- ed.
