 cross a street while some of the anna teur drivers of automobiles are ram ming machines about the streets of Putnam needs more than one guess as to just where he wants to get, and get quickly, to avoid them. Climbing 8 pole seems the best way. Wednesday afternoon one of this class of drivers, paying considerable attention to pipe that he was smoking, drove a car di- rectly at a man who had taken the precsution to hurry to the opposite side of the street than that on which the car was travelling. The suggestion has been made that the authorities ir- Vestigate whether or not certain men who are driving machines have a h- cense to do so. If they have, the won- der is how they came to secure it. |. Lumberrnen to Meet in WIlimantio.

DIR. Ortega said the liberals had 2.OOo

Der of the conservative government OF
Diaz. and his revolt represented dis

liberal movement, Ortega asserted, was
quite a different affair and soon would
demonstrate that it had the support OF
more than so per cent of the people.
DR.. Ortega, who spent several days
in the capital of Salvador after his
departure from Leon August 30. stated
that the people of that country are
excited and incensed over the attitude
of the United States in the Nicaragua
affair. He said strong anti-American
feeling prevailed, not only there. but
in other Latin American countries, and
that in San Salvador he witnessed sew
eral public manifestations against the
action of the Washington government.
DIR. Ortega gave vivid description
of the battles of Leon and Chinandaga,
and denied the statement that the

massacred About five hundred persons
were killed in the battle of Leon. but
