Queer Hhhng9z happen in some of the small towns of the state, where there are n1ores offices to be filled at the an- nua1 wnau1eeting than there are men qualified to i'll them. One of these now exfstsf and some of the possibiH- tfes66f7s 7shs eitdafI6n are interesting. A voter wasi elected a justice of the peace last f7Qovember and qualified for the offce,s and at the October election he was elected assessor, tax collector and constable, making four offices in all
 The possibilities arise through the personal tax law, as it is the duty of the man. to assess tax of $1 against himself, then to pay it to himself and give himself a receipt for the sum. Assuming that he has not paid it there are other possibilities He could ar rest himself as constable and be brought before himself for failure to pay the tax, could fine himself and he could even issue the warrant for his own arrest upon his own complaint as grand juror and bring him before him self and then tax the costs against himself and, finally, settle up. Un- luckily there. is a statute which would operate against a part of this, but, even then by remitting the fine and costs, he might be able to bring the matter about and settle his bill for the dollar which is supposed to be due the state. -f e7A

DEMOCRATS SEE
 GAIN IN MAINE

Washington. Sept. 9-Representatfve Doremus, of Michigan, chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign committee, was an early White House caller today, and analysed the results of the Maine election, yesterday, as a distinct Democratic gain. MT. Dore- mus pointed out that Pattangall, the Democratic candidate, boiled a great sr vote than did President Wilson in the same district, last fall.
 '-In district that has always been Republican, he said, having elected 9 Democrat only once since the Civil War, the results show that the Demo crats more than held theff own. This is highly gratifying, especially in an off year election

terson of the Empire theatre will present to his patrons tomorrow and Thursday the four reel feature film "A Sister of Carmen
 The story is by Charles L.. Gaski11. The scene is in the mountains of Spain and the plot is said to be more inter esting than Carmen" It is said to be the most captivating role that Miss Gardner has yet essayed. Beautiful, dramatic and picturesque, are not mis- placed adjectives when applied to the description of this picture. Most of the scenes were made in Spain and Miss Gardner and her company have finished posing for the remaining scenes at her studio at Tappan-on-the- Hudson only a few weeks ago. The film will be shown for the first time in Bridgeport at the matinee at the Empire theatre tomorrow.

HOUSE KILLS
 ANTI LOBBYING
 BILL QUICKLY
Senate, However, Passes More Drastic Wood Bill on Same Subject; Pre- dictcd It Will Die in the House

The excitement in the house ycster-
 of the committee of the whole during
 the consideration of Irvines anti-lob- bying bill. It was apparent from the
 beginning that the house did not feel
 very strongly in favor of that sort Of legislation although in response to a speech on the constitutional mandate part of it. they agreed in the commit tee to instruct the judiciary committee to bring in draft of a bill that would more nearly meet the views of the house.
 Jones was in the chair in the com- mittee, and the bill was being read py sections. It is officially known as housebill 15. First a few sections were read without any alterations being
 made, but soon Lynch was on his feet and two lines Tn section three were ! stricken out. Then Kane took the floor with the statement that he could see no reason for the bill Graham said it was a constitutional mandate and had | to be passed. Here Maddock intervened with the statement that there is al- ready a stringent bill on the statute books, that was placed in the revised statutes of 1901 and is found on page 1902 He therefore could see no reason 1 for the bill.
 Crofoot said the bill was a whole lot of riggamarole that meant nothing. It's main function seemed to be that it in convenienced and caused trouble. He said it was not an insult to this legis- l h h,It nat hp suit to every succeeding legislature. After much discussion Kirk T. Moore said he believed he had the solution of the difficulty and moved to strike
 out the enacting clause. This was car | ried by a vote of IS to 15.
 Then on roll call it was decided ] that when the committee rise it recom- mend indefinite pOstpOnement for the bill This also carried by a vote of l IS to Is. Irvine said that he had tried l three times to get such a bill passed 1 by the house, in each succeeding Ses- sion of the legislature and he would | try no more. Then on motion of Cro- 1 foot the judiciary committee were in
 structed to bring in bill on the sub
 ject. Brooks thought the rules of the
 house covered the subject fully enough
 but to ease the conscience of some why not reenact the old law
