LICENSE QUESTION
 BEFORE 5I TOWNS

The question of allowing the licensed | sale of liquor within their boundaries
 will be voted on by ffty-one towns at the town election to be held the nrst Monday in October. This is somewhat
 less than the number of towns voting on the liquor question in 1912, as the proposition was considered by the Vot- CTS of fifty-four towns last year. Almost without exception it is the smaller towns that will consider the
 license question. The only large city that is voting this year is New Ha- ven. A few years ago it was the GUS
 tom to vote upon the license question in almost every town every year, as It
 required only petition signed by twenty voters to have the question considered. In 1907. however. the Leg is1ature so modified the law as to re- quire a petition signed by 10 per cent. of the voters.
 Besides New Haven, the following towns will vote upon the question: Barkhansted, Bolton, Bristol, Burllng- ton, Canaan, Cheshire Chester, Corn wall, Coventry, Cromwell, Darien, East Granby, Ellington, Farmington, Glastonbury, Goshen, Griswold, Gro ton, Gui1ford. Haddam, Harwinton, KiIlingly, Killingworth, Litchfeld, Madison, Manchester, Milford, New Canaan, New Hartford, New Milford, North Canaan, Plainfeld, P1ainville, Plymouth, Prospect, Bedding, Ridge field, Simsbury, Southbury, southing- ton, Stafford, Sterling, Stonington. Tolland, Trumbull, Vernon, Volun- town Wilton, Winchester and Wind sor Naugatuck will vote on license in May, 1914
 Of these ffty-one- towns, thfrty-eight voted on the license question in 1912. Ten of the thirty-eight voted in the negative, so that the question in these towns has evidently been raised by the involuntary "dFys'' who want to be wet once more.
 The 1912 election reduced the num- Der of dry towns by six. The fig ures for 1911 were, license, 75, no-li- cense. 93, while for 1912 the respective figures were 81 and S7. The largest town voting in 1912 on the license question was Stamford, where the 'swets'' won by a big majority.

Brooklyn. Mr.. Morgan fell in love
with her when she was six months old
and signally honored her. Though she
was too young to realize all about 1t,
she knew 1t was a very serious mat
ter.
It was in January. 1909, that little
Virginia. then baby In arms, was
made a fellow by Mr.. Morgan. AL
though she has never seen him since,
she receives the regular notices of the
museum meetings ana invitations to
museum functions

tendant at the museum at the time
and on the night that some important
German paintings were first shown his
wife took Virginia, who was cunning
and pretty. and went up to see the

nearing gentlemen were looking at the

ginia holding up her arms to the pic

came over and spoke to her. She
looked up laughingly in his face and
cried "Da-da!

her under her chin and laughed and
turning to another gentleman said:

are grossly inaccurate, very ignorant and
ungrammatical and convey an absolutely
wrong impression of what / said
The Judge soothed her by promising that
she would have an opportunity later to
correct them.

the arguments used during the prellmi-
nary hearing in the police court lie SAID

hurst was present at the time the bomb
was placed in LlOyd-George' house, but
