MORE IMPROVEMENTS
FOR EAST MAIN ST.
New Business Blocks to Be
Erected In Near Future

Malcolm T. Kerr has purchased
the Elizabeth Moore property at
Stratford avenue and East Main
street and resold for immediate im-
provement 105 feet of the property
prepared for block of five stores
with apartments overhead to be built
this fall on this part of the property,
and negotiations sare also under way
which if concluded will call for a
three story pressed brick and cement
building and include the remodel1ng
of the Wilmot homestead.
Other improvements in the immed
late vicinity are the remodeling of the
Davis property on the northeast cor
ner of Stratford avenue and the new
block on the Parker property at East
Main and Nichols streets.
Realty investors have noticed the
increase of population has been large
ly east of the Pequonnock and indi-
cations point to a still larger develop
ment in that direction. The most
available manufacturing sites are to
be found along the line of the New
Haven Railroad and water front be-
tween the Pequonnock and Housa-
tonic Rivers.
Stratford avenue as a continuation
of Fairfield avenue is the most direct
connection with the center for the
city for this fast growing territory.
One need only stand and watch the
flood of traffic over the lower bridge
daily to see that a new and broader
structure will be necessary in the near
future With the new bridge will
come other improvements, old struc-
lures will give place to new buildings
and Stratford avenue is destined to
become one of our most prominent
business thoroughfares.

Woman Mayor

Hunnewell Men, One Deputy
Sheriff, Pay Fines For Sum
day Gard Playing

Hunnewell, Kan, Sept. 9-The re-
form of Hunnewell the pet project Of
Mayor Ella Wilson's heart, has begun.
Four men of this town were arrested
recently by the order OF the County
Attorney at Mrs. Wilson's request,
charged with playing cards on Sum
day. One of the four is a Deputy
Sheriff.
They pleaded guilty and paid fines
of So each yesterday. The money goes
to the City Treasury, and will be used
to carry on the crusade for right
eous' Hunnewell which Mrs. Wilson
promised when she ran for office last
Spring. The crusade had not made
much progress up to the time the four
were arrested. because of the refusal
of the City Council to support Mrs.
Wilson or even to meet when she call
ed a session.
MY present duty is to keep a seo&et,
and. though woman, shall keep it,
was the reply the Mayor made upon
her arrival here yesterday to all ques-
lions concerning the result of her con-
ference in Kansas City, Kan, with G.
W. Trickett, special attorney appoint
ed by Gov. W. r. Stubs to restore
peace between the woman executive
and her obdurate Council of men.
So Hunnewell for months without an
effective government, now awaits the
meeting of the Council next Monday
when the secret is expected to come
out. From Mayor Wilson's confident
manner it is believed that the ques-
ton of dealing with the rebellious
Council will be solved at this meet
ing.

BANKS TO RETIRE.
New Britain Herald

According to a statement made to
the, Bridgeport Farmer Judge Banks,
the Republican whip of the house at
Hartford, is to retire from politics
upon the adjournment of the legisla-
ture.s eHe has been a state figure for
several years but somehow his lead
ership at this session of the general
assembly has not been up to the
standard he set in past sessions
There are those .who think, honestly
too that Judge Banks is not fitted
temporarily for public life. He is
well informed and can debate with
clearness, force and sincerity but he
will lose his temper and when he does
he is apt to say things that call for
subsequent revision and explanation.
An incident of this kind occurred dur
ing the discussion of the New Haven
judgeship question in the house. about
which, however, there were contradic-
tory statements. Many felt that
when he was elected speaker two
years ago that he should have ap-
pointed his opponent, Judge Malone of
Bristol, chairman of the judiciary
committee, instead of Mr.. Burnes OF
Greenwich, whose leadership was any,
thing but satisfactory. Judge Ma
lone had previously displayed leader
ship ability and would have made a
tactful general for Speaker Banks
had he given him the opportunity
Representative Banks has evidently
come to the conclusion that dabbling
in politics does not pay. 1t takes
too much time for the money allowed.
He has been in Hartford since jan
uary and when the legislature ad-
journs he will be paid $500, a little
over SAG a month. He is judge of
probate in Fairfield and prosecutor
in the court of Common Pleas but
these are not lucrative positions and
take time that if devoted to private
practice would bring larger remuner-
alton. The last campaign was not a
pleasant one for Judge Banks and the
fact that he and Senator Judson do
not agree and that the latter has been
successful in securing the passage of
the public utilities bill, to which he
was opposed, he said on constitution
al grounds, has probably strengthen
ed his desire to retire from public
life. He has had all the honors of
house representation and further SER
vice there can possibly have no
charms for him. Representative
Banks will not be the first man to
leave politics for the practice of his
profession in order to lay aside some
thing for the proverbial rainy day.

ICE DEALERS MOST
PHILANTHROPY IN
THE SUMMER time
SAYS Their PRE- SlDEN7

! Bristol, Sept 9.-Upwards of Sew
enty retail ice dealers. after an I'M
usually prosperous season, blew
themselves to sheep barbecue din
ner at Lake Compounce yesterday
afternoon and everybody seemed to
| be in a very happy and extremely
contented frame of mind From the
! benevolent faces present it could be
1 seen that the torrid weather of July
had left it's impress on the minds and
pocketbooks of the dealers, who were
engaged in the philanthropic business
of keeping people cool the past sum-
mer. The members of the Connecti-
cut Ice Dealers Association gathered
at the lake early in the day and spent
the time as only an ice dealer can
who is resting on his oars after one
of the "best ever seasons
Representatives of many ice COM
panies were there including large
Norwich, Bridgeport, New London,
Stamford. South Norwalk, Meriden and
many other smaller places. The sheep
barbecue dinner served at 1870 was
one of the finest and the ice men en-
joyed it.
When the dinner wass concluded
President Albert Weidnan of New
Haven made a short speech in which
he congratulated all the ice men pres
ent on the magnificent showing they
had made in helping out SWelterlng
humanity during the past summer.
He said that while the summer had
been hot and they had all enjoyed
big business he hoped the winter
would be correspondingly cold so the
exhausted supplies of ice could be re-
cuperated.
After the speechmalSing a baseball
game took place on the lawn near the
merry-go-round The committee in
charge of the days outing consisted
of Albert Weidman of New Haven;
H. A. Walker of Bridgeport; Dexter
L. Bishop of Meriden; j. A. Culver
of New London.

Has Invented
New Explosive
The Safest, Yet More Powerful
Than Dynamite, Says
Prof. Wright

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 9-B. F. B.
Wright, formerly a professor in chem
istry at Harvard, has perfected a new
explosive, SO he says, that possesses
three times the power of dynamite and
is harmless from conclusion. Prof.
Wright's experiments made yesterday
by dropping a lighted match on two
ounces. of the powder gave forth a
quick flame but no explosion. The
blasting propensities of the powder
were also demonstrated
THE powder cannot be exploded
except BY fire or extreme heat unless
1T is packed in an alright Enclosure,
so that the gases cannot escape" said
Prof. Wright. ct will stand 275 de-
grees of heat without igniting. This
eliminates the possibility of spontan-
eous combustion. 1t has been ham,
mered on an anvil and packages of it
have been shot at with a rapid-fire
revolver without explosion. 1t is the
safest explosive to store or handle
that has ever been invented.
"One-third of the quantity used for
blasting is equal to any other powder,
including dynamite. A great advant-
age the new explosive has over dyna-
mite is that it can be made by any
one who has the formula and used
fifteen minutes later, while dynamite
has to be kept at least ninety days.
1t doesn't freeze like dynamite
"a peculiar thing about it's use in
firearms is that while it does greater
execution there is scarcely any recoil
For use on warships the saving would
be enormous, not only on the cost of
the powder, but it would also prevent
the damage done to the ships by the
recoil of the large guns and would pro-
long the life Of the weapons

In connection with presenting his

of Charities, Stpt. Joseph v. Brennan
of the Charities department points out
to the commissioners that for the last
month the city has been remarkably
free from sickness.
1.-The health conditions of the poor
are a fair thermometer of the general
health. When we have many calls
for physicians among the poor it is
an unfailing sign that illness is gen.
eral," said he
