Senate And House Disagree On County
 Board Election
If Deadlock Continues, Governor
 Will Name Eight Democrats
Py our Staff Corres.)

Hartford. May 15-The defeat Of all the Democratic candidates for county commissioner throughout the state, by strict party vote in the House yester- day, now places the naming of eight such officials in the hands of Cover nor Baldwin The Senate has already elected the eight Democratic candi- dates. and the House. as had been ex- pected, elected the Republican nomi- nees.
 The F'afrneld County Democratic candidate. Former Mayor Denis Null vfhil1 of Bridgeport, was included, as was expected, in the Democrats who went down to defeat in the House vote. Like the other Democratic can t1idatss, he received his full party vote
 The nearest any of the Democratic candidates came to election was in the case of Representative A. H. Lan- phere, who, a member of the House, was a candidate for commissioner for New London county
 Lanphere voted for himself. making the vote a tie. As under the rules no member of the House is allowed to vote for himself, or even to be pres ent when a vote is taken on matter concerning himself unless by unani- mous consent, his vote was not count ed Speaker Webster instructed the clerk not to count his vote and this resulted in the defeat of MT. Lanphere.
 It was currently reported that Lan- phere would be put over in place of the Republican candidate because cer- tain powerful Republican influences -xere said to have induced some of the majority members to agree to step outside when the vote on Lanphere was taken
 Should the deadlock persist, Cover nor Baldwin will name eight Demo- crats to the county boards. thereby in minority FAnFRERntR tiOn the board of every county. They will re- main members of the board until the next General Assembly, when their successors will be chosen.

THE FUTILE BUILDING LINE

THE FUTILE BUILDING LINE
 Besides the matter of the highway appropriation, the matter of establish ing a building line in front of the property Of William B. Futile on Church street will come before this evenings town meeting. It is stated that the present line of Church street ats laid out the old town maps is right in on the steps of the Futile house, and also cuts across the lawn of the John Thompson place next door to Tuttles.
 When the surveyors went oyer this ground just prior to time the Neigh borhood church was built it is said that they found that the town of Stratford owned the land right up al- most to the foundations of the Futile and the Thompson houses.
 The fact that the present line of the street and the old line do not coincide is sure some day to result in :iis- pu+e over the title unless building line is established and this is what MT. Futile would like to have the people of the town vote to do at this even ing's meeting.

MEXICO
MAKES A
PROTEST
TO AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
AGAINST SHIPPING
OF ARMS
And Asks United States to Exer-
else Greater Vigilance and
Intercept Them. -

MEXICO CITY. March 3o.-The
Mexican government has made a for
NAL protest to the American govern.
ment against the shipping OF arms and
ammunition from the United States to
the rebels and has requested that
greater vigilance be exercised in
guarding the frontier Mexican OF.
ioials understand that numerous con.
signments OF war material. including
many machine guns. have been sent
across the border. in some cases even
at the regular ports OF entry. and are
now in the hands of the rebels.
II is pointed out by the same officials
that since the rebels control a large
part OF the frontier. this country is de.
pendent absolutely for the time being
on the United States to prevent the
rebels from obtaining supplies. That
the rebels are securing quantities OF
ammunition appears 10 be a fact
NO notable Improvement in the rev.
olutionary situation Is apparent. The
greater successes in recent days are
credited TO the rebels, although severe
punishment in minor engagements ma =
been inflicted on the adhereafs OF Ven
Hstiano Carranza. near Monterey.
The report that Carranza and his chief
lieutenant Major Carfias. have been
captured has not been confirmed. -
The followers OF Carrdnza appear 10
be less organized than those OF Nav.
tOrena. IN Sonora but numerous bands
are successfully harassins n wide area
throughout Coahuila and In part OF
Nuevo Leon. and the new organiza.
ton OF rebels in Rurango and San
