court order was signed October
requiring the ballot boxes and the
ballots in them be preserved until the
grand jury asked for them. Another
order was signed specifying which
OF these boxes should be deliv-
cred TO the jury which wished to re-
count the ballots. In response TO this
latest order written answers from the
two boards were presented in the
Criminal Court, in which for the
first time they stated they were
unable TO produce the ballots in the
manner ordered. According TO the
statements made in the answers, the
ballots were taken out, that the
boxes could be used in the primaries
on August 80. and their removal took
place about four months after the
mayoralty primaries. This was done,
it was said. in order TO save the ex-
pense OF purchasing new boxes.
Judge Duffey sent for the grand
jury and turned the documents over
to the foreman. Action in the matter
was deferred until Monday.

COMMISSIONERS 5 ARE TO REVIEW
 HARTFORD DEPT.

Upon a cordial invitation from the Hartford Board of Fire Commissions ers the local board of commissioners will go to Hartford on Thursday and there witness a review of the entire Hartford fire department, and a test of that city's big water tower.
 President Dwight c. Wheeler will take the local board in his automobile to Hartford, and possibly Fire Chief Mooney, who has just returned from the national convention at Milwaukee, will accompany them.
 The parade will undoubtedly be an inspiring sight Hartford has one Of the finest and most complete depart ments of any city of it's size in the country. The local commissioners will watch the test of the water tower with the greatest interest. Bridge port has no water tower, but may add such an equipment at later date.
 The possibility of having a firemen's s parade and possibly some tests of the apparatus in Bridgeport is being dis cussed. While it is known that the fire commissioners as matter of pol icy are opposed to leaving the out skirts of the city unprotected even for a short space of time, it is believed that this difficulty may be overcome and such an exhibition given. It would undoubtedly strike a popular chord.

Maine Blown Up
 From Outside
Position of Double Bottom of Wreck Said to Show Ex- teri0r Explosion

Havana, Sept. 25-The recent c1t- ting away of the wreckage piled up, cone-shaped, over the sunken bow of the Maine, reveals an heretofore par fiiable double bottom of the vessel tial1y concealed and doubtfully identi- some feet above its natural position.
 This double bottom broke off some forty feet aft of the present position and became heaved up to where it is now at right angles to it's natural horizontal position, plainly showing that huge mine must have exploded under the ship about midway between the stem and the beginning of mid ships. The superstructure from the point of the explosion, which seeming ly tore the ship apart, between the decks and the bottom, folded over the forward part, while all aft of the ex- plosion was blown up, the explosion carrying the immensely heavy coming tower far aft and to starboard, where it now rests on the main deck be- side the extreme after end of mid ships.
 The position of the superstructure and double bottom, folded forwarded, the latter identified in it's present per pendicular position by the stanchions which rose from it to support the or Top or lowest deck, which stanchions are now horizontal, pointing stem ward, proves unquestionably that an exterior explosion had taken place. Members of the Maine Board are si- lent while the newspapers here seem ingly discovered nothing.

THE PARK

Naughty Marietta the ringing musical comedy by Victor Herbert and Rida Johnson Young will be presented at the Park Theatre tonight by Os- car Hammerstein's Manhattan Opera House artists This unusual opera had the distinction of pleasing a New York audience all last season and this fact alone should make the visit to this city a most popular one. The de- lightful music of the opera has been whistled and sung by all lovers ot music until we are all more or less familiar with it, but it is said thai this play not only had some of the best music from the pen of the prolific Herbert but the book contains a. most interesting story. Miss Florence Web ber who won much favor for her beau tiful voice in ..The Climax will be seen in the principal role of "Countess Marietta while John Cardo will sing the role of Captain Richard Waring- ton the principal tenor role. The balance of the cast, the big chorus and the augmented orchestra are se- lected from the members of The Man haitian Opera House.

Is I02 Years Old And Interested
 In Reciprocity
New Haven's Centenarian Cuts Her 1O2nd Birthday Cake and Regrets Laurier's Defeat

New Haven, Sept. 25-Although she is 1o2 years old, reciprocity and it's defeat is the chief concern of Mrs. Julia Ritner, who resides at the St. Paul Home at 600 Chapel street. h. terviewed by friends she was very much affected by the fact that Can- ada had refused the, outstretched hand of the United States in the reciprocity treaty and that Premier Laurier had been defeated.
 Mrs Ritner, who has just reached the age of 102. is we'll versed On cur rent topics, and she has her daily and morning papers about her all dur ing the day, reading and studying the items that are of interest to her and to the rest of the world in general.
 When the subject of reciprocity was preached she immediately started to read about the state of affairs that was existing between the two coun- tries. She has followed reciprocity's trials and ups and downs until the present time, and when it was an- nounced in all of the papers that Can ada had defeated reciprocity by an overwhelming majority she was visi- bly, affected and expressed herself as being sorry that Canada took such a step
 A party was given to Mrs. Ritner, Friday, in honor of her reaching the 1O2nd year of her life and about 35 of her very intimate friends attended in her honor. She is still quite vig- OrOus
