MANY RESIDENTS
 FAVOR SALOON IN
 NORTH MAIN ST.

A difference of opinion as to whether North Main street is a bus mess or residential sthoroughfare was manifested at a hearing before the county commissioners this morning, when a remonstrance against Chris LaCroix's application for a license transfer was heard. Those in favor of the applicant said the street was devoted mainly to business, and the remonstrants said it was a residential section.
 The applicant had about 50 prop erty owners on hand who favored the transfer William T. Mullins, who owns considerable North End proper ty, said he did not consider the section residential. He did not think a sa- loon would decrease property values. The witness also represented former Mayor Frank E. Clark, another prop erty owner in the neighborhood.
 David Reichel, a builder, declared there were a number of stores as well as a blacksmith shop and a garage in the neighborhood. He also called attention to the young toughs who congregated at the street corner and thought a saloon would drive them away.

Tn Address to Workingmen Progressive Candidate
 Speaks Plainly

George F. Shepard, of Bethel candi- date for the Progressive nomina tion for represents in Congress, Fourth district, spoke to some 800 persons at the IT. M. C. Co. plant at noon today.
 He made strong presentation of the principles of the Progressive party, and a scathing denunciations5 of E.. J. Hill. who is running for reelection on the Republican ticket, declaring in strongest terms that Hill is a mere product of Republican bossisnns from which he has neither the energy nor the desire to escape.
 MT. Shepard also predicted that the Republican party will be represented by not more than eighty men in the next House of Represent tatives, hich he regarded as substantial annthtla- ton:

mony of an apparently credible na-
 ture points to a different origin. French investigators declare that he was a native of Corsica the island which later produced Napoleon Bon aparte. Arribas' Tural, a Spanish historian, has written a book in which he holds that Columbus was a Jew, and that he was born in Spain The Portuguese have also claimed Co1um- bus as native son. While these al- legations were interesting, it is alto gether unlikely that Genoa will ever be deprived of its greatest glory as being the birthp1cea of Columbus.
