Farmers Kill Joy
 In ventriIoquism
Clergyman Lets Vagrant Voice Cry ''Help" from Fireplace and Neighbors Want to De- molish Chimney

Winsted, July 27-Of all parlor ac- complishments it would seem that fewer risks attach to ventriloquism than to others. but the possession and exercise of ventriloquial powers have caused a reign of terror in this com- munity, where the unexpected is all ways happening.
 The Rev. w. w. Blackman, pastor of the Congressional church in War ren was the ventriloquist who threw his voice so successfully that he also threw Winsted into a panic. MT. Blackman is spending his vacation here. Every day or so he takes out his voice and exercises it, tossing it from one part of the house to another, catching it on the rebound, hurling it to a tree in the orchard and then dragging it back into the cellar all for his own amusement, and with no idea of disturbing the current of events. He was about to begin his vocal calisthenics yesterday when Elm CT Barton, a neighbours boy came in to borrow a cup of sugar for his mother. In spirit of fun the clergy man unloosened his voice and made it sound as if it came from the fire place.
 Help, help!' cried the imaginary person in the fireplace, "I'm in the
 
 The Barton boy waited only for this bulletin and stayed not for further de- tails. He ran wildly into the high ways and by ways crying that a man was suffocating in the chminey at the clergyman's house. Agriculturists quit their work in the fields and hur- ried over to dig the man out. These volunteer life savers came in droves and as none of them stopped to wipe his feet the clergyman's parlor was sad sight.
 My friends" asked the clergyman "why the commotion?''
 Out of the wayi" yelled Charley Smith. one of the best all round farm hands in Connecticut. We'll tear down the chimney"
 They started to do it, too
 The clergyman succeeded in getting the farmers to listen to his explana- tion. He told them that the Barton boys excitable temperament was re- sponsible for all the fuss, that there really was no man in the chimney and that for the benefit of those pres ent he would repeat the ventriloquial feat which had caused all the alarm They let him do it and then they went away bewildered to report what they had heard to Professor Stone a scien- tist, who lives here. Professor Stone said he believed every word they told him. He added that there are strang- CT things than ventriloquism in the world and said that he had scrap books to bear out the truth of his as- sertiOn

Governor Wilson Called Ingrate
 And A Liar
In Restaurant Filled With Mili- tia Officers Democratic State Chairman Offers Insulting Toast

Camp Wilson, Sea Girt, N. J., July 27-James R. Nugent, chairman of the Democratic State Committee in New Jersey, who since the Legislature passed much reform legislation last winter has been an ardent foe of Gov Wilson, publicly termed the Cover nor an ingrate and a liar in a res- taurant at Avon, and the matter has been the principal topic of conversa- tion with the officers at camp, as many of them were present when the insult to the Governor took place.
 Several officers have gone to the Governor and said that, while they do not wish to appear in connection with the matter now, MT. Wilson can rest assured that they are ready to verify every word which they attrib- uted to MT. Nugent
 Nugent was at the restaurant in Avon accompanied by Bob Delany Of Atlantic City and two women. At the same restaurant were about a score of officers. All agree as to what took place. Before a dining room full of people, Nugent, without any warning, rose from his seat, and of- fered the following toast, the latter part being given in deathlike silence:
 "I propose a toast to the Governor
 
 Chief of the militia He's an ingrate and he's liar. mean Woodrow Wilson. I repeat, he's an ingrate and a liar. Do I drink alone?"
 The officers were dumbfounded, and several said yesterday that it was only by exercising the greatest re- straint that they were kept from at- Nugent, but not another man left his seat at the moment. Delany saw that something was wrong, and instead of drinking the toast remained standing, and Nugent's was the only glass that touched lips.
 One member of Gen. Collins staff got up and left his seat. Soon he was followed by three more militia officers, and a regular army officer, who was present. Delany followed the man who first left his seat outside, and started to say something to him. The officer cut him short with the remark that eff he started anything he want ed to be sure that he could finish it." and Delany returned to the dining room, rejoining Nugent.
 Nugent and Gov. Wilson have not been on friendly terms since last win ter, when the Governor damned ably distasteful to the old-time bosses in both the Republican and Demo- cratic parties. Frequently he has taken occasion at public dinners since the Legislature adjourned to attack the Executives policies.
 Delany achieved fame seven or eight years ago, when he went on the bail bond of two gamblers at Atlantic City, and the two men jumped their bail. Delany tried to get out of pay ing the $S,0o0 which he had pledged for the men on the plea that he was drunk when he signed the bond. and did not know what he was doing. An effort to collect from him was made in the courts, and after the matter was carried to the Supreme Court he was ordered to pay. He said he did not have the money, and the Attorney General was unable to find any prop erty of his to seize at the time. This winter, however, he paid up with in terest. He is member of the Re- publican clique which rules Atlantic City.
