GYPSY "HEN" HICKS SOME HOSS TRADER
I wentiefh Century NOmads Have Developed Commercial Side Of Their Romantic
 Existence

NewtoUn, Aug. 1.-The band of gypsies who held worth in South Cen ter district the past week pulled mp stakes to-day and started north to- wards the Massachusetts line. While here their stable of sixteen horses was reduced by four sales outright but several trades brought the mum Der up to the original sixteen on de- parture. H. M. Greenman was the purchaser of the handsome Shetland pony with which the gypsies delight ed all childish hearts on their first parade through the borough.
 While the party are seemingly gyp- sies and carried on all the deviuos ways of the tribe, conversation with the leaders discIoses a state of affairs we'll worth recital. H. A. Hicks, is the manager; and this is the return trip of his band to Hartford where the Hicks Livery stable is. For over eighty years the Hicks family have been carrying on this business of gypsying to sell their surplus stock rectIy by the trade. They have sta bIes at Providence, Springfield and Boston as well as Hartford and GlII carry on this singular method as feature of all their sales stables.
 Whenever gang of gypsnes went shy of horses, the nearest stable was communicated with, ard the horses were shipped to them by rail- None are. however, shipped back this way. And here is where the art of the gy2- sy jockey has full play. He will exchange three or four dilapidated specimens often for one fair beast found in the possession of some coun- try jockey. This genius will patient 1y apply the horse dope for a few weeks in the sec1usion of the woods fe his charges until To and presto! he will start1e the neighborhood with a string of trotters that will find ready sale among the farmers boys who pride themselves on owning "a high hooker with tail over dash when they go a courtin' or take a, trip to town.
 This is MT. Hicks explanation of one feature of his evolutionary plan in the business of horse dealing, as practiced by his family for more than two generations. That this is no fairy tale is proved by the fact that MT. Hicks called upon the long dis tance telephone, his brother, who is the mayor of Holyoke, Mass, who assured his auditors at this end of sy leader was a person of veracity and his every word and act could be relied on except in a hoss-trades then broth CT Hicks the mayor, chuckHngly re- marked from his den in City Hall Holyoke: Everybody should lookout for himself
 But the gypsies CD have departed from Newtown and our citizens will be glad to know that in entertaining Gypsy Leader Hem and his band, they have been. honored by the visit of a distinguished member of the fa- nous Hicks family of New England, and incidentally get Q pointer, How to carry the message to Garcia in the conduct of their own business.

TO ASK INJUNCTION
West Haveners Threaten to Try to Close Rendering Plants By
 Court Action.

Walter N. Scranton. of 12s Spring street, West Haven, the chief com plaina-nt in the action against the Rendering companies in West Haven, declares that he and other people nv- ing near him have decided to apply to the superior court for an injunc- ton to prevent the further operation of the West Haven factories of the New Haven Rendering company and the Connecticut Eat Rendering & Fertilizer corporation, unless they can be run without emitting objectionable odors. This announcement, together with announcements of contemplated damage suits by property owners in the vicinity of the two rendering plants and the possibility of further criminal prosecutions, followed the action of the Orange town court yes- terday in fning Frank D. Clark and George c. Woo1ley, managers of two companies, $50 apiece for violating the town ordinance against the opera ton of factories emitting objection able odors.

INVESTMENTS ARE
 GROWING LESS BY ARMY RESERVE ACT

Washington, Aug. 14-EnIistments in the army are falling off about 400 men a month and army officials be- 1ieve it to be due largely to the estab- 1ishment of the army reserve created by act of Congress. However, only eight men formerly in the army have joined the reserve, which was in augurated last November, although this record does not include those men who have enlisted since November who must serve three years in the reserve following their first enlist ment- The average number of en- Iistments in the army since November 1, last, has been about 2,o0O a month, whereas it should have been about 2,400. Officers opposed to the reserve plan contend desirable men willing to enlist for four years hesitate to bind themselves for seven years, even though in the final three years they would be on furlongh. It was painted out also that ''reservists" would re- ceive a bounty of only $5 a month in case of war whereas man who re- enlists would receive bounty rang ing from $S downward.

DR. FLINT OF YALE
 DIRECTS SURGICAL WORK
 ON WOUNDED SOLDIERS

Dr. Joseph Marshall Flint. professor of surgery at the Yale Medical school, is at present in Athens attending wounded Greek soldiers, returning from the war with Bulgaria
 Dr. Flint went abroad early this summer with Mrs. Flint, and had in tended attending the great medical congress at London. At one of the European capitals he met the Greek ambassador, who extended to him an invitation to go to Athens to aid in directing the general surgical work upon the wounded.
 At the time the invitation was re- ceived, some 10000 wounded were ex- pected in Athens within a very short time, so pr. Flint decided to cut the medical congress and go at once to the Grecian capital, where he now is. Dr. Flint served in the Philippines and is greatly interested in wounds from modern implements of war. He is expected home the latter part of next month.

CULBERSON ILL HERE. .
Texas Senator In Serious Condition In
 Connections Sanitarium.

Washington, Aug. 14.-News of the serious illness of Senator Culberson of Texas has discounted the feeling of re- lief among Democratic leaders occa- Sioned by the announcement of the appointment by Governor O'Neal of Alabama of Representative Henry D Clayton, chairman of the house judi oiary committee, to the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Johnston Sen ator CuIbereon is reported in a serious condition in a Connecticut sanitarium and although the anxiety felt by ma Jority leaders concerning the vote on the tariff bill was much relieved by the news of MT. C1ayton's appointment. the fact that the enforced absence Of Senator CuIberson will throw the yote back to the same alignment as that obtaining before MT. Cfayton's appoint ment is causing much concern Be- fore Senator Johnston's death the vote on the tariff bill stood 49 to 47 In favor of the measure.

SLIT SKIRTS BARRED
Newt Britain Factory Gives Girl Em- pIoyes Notice to Dress Differently.

New Britain, Aug. 14.-Landers. F'rary & Clark of this city is the first manufacturing concern in the country to take official notice that the pres emt-day plan of feminine dress needs reformation. This concern has mo- tifIed the stenographers and other young ladies employed aS clerks that they will be expected in the future to dress with more decorum, and more clothes. The notices were en- closed in the pay envelopes of the young ladies and state that they must dress in a more bustness-lilke manner
 The notice did not refer specifically to the sIashed skirt or the diaphanous draperies that swish and swing and make the men crane. their necks. It left that to the imagination of the wearers and to their better Judgment. What the punishment will be if the hint is not taken is not known.
 As far as is known there are only two young ladies working in Landere, F.rary & C1ark's who wear slit skirts. and the sIits are just little rips in the hem and wouldn' t offend anyone's sense of propriety, the employees say.
 There has as yet been no inhmation of a strike because of the notice.
