ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO
 REGISTER VEHICLES
Non Residents Must Apply Tn This State Before
 Operating Here
Special to the Farmer.

lCP0Cldlf lOE 4t46
 Hartford, Dec. 19-To a request of State Secretary Albert Phillips for in- formation in the matter of non-resi dent motorcyclists registering their machines before operating in this state Attorney General John H. Light has given the following opinion
 You ask my opinion as to wTl ether nonresident motorcye1ists, from states which do not require registration of motorcycles, may be required to regis ter their motorcycles before operating them in At1ais state.
 The purpose of the act concerning registration of motor vehicles is to protect the travelling public by pre- venting the use of motor vehicles by incompetent and reckless persons and to render detection Of violators of the lawlaw easy by means of registration numbers upon such vehicles.
 After quoting Section 10 of the law the opinion continues. Under this pro- vision nonresident may operate a motorcycle here only when 1t bears the distinguishing number or mark of the state within which he resides, When a foreign state does not require registration, it is evident. that the mo- torcyeIe operated by a resident of such state does not bear a distinguish ing number or mark, and for that reason 1t cannot be operated in this State unless it is registered here

Grand Rapids Furniture Go. to Open Monday
 Pending Reorganization

With preparations being made for the reopening of the Grand Rapids Furniture 6 Supp1y8store which closed it's doors over month ago, that a receivers sale may be effected that will permit of reorganization, some interesting details of the former club scheme were made known today. It is hoped that the doors may be thrown open to the general public next Mon day, but in this sale the accounts of club members or the claims of mer- chandise creditors will not be valid. The sale it is understood is to be strictly a receivers sale at cost prices that money may be secured at the Christmas time to defray the ex- penses of the receivershfp.
 It was learned that a petition in bankruptcy has already been filed in Hartford by merchandise creditors.

BELIEVE BRADLEY WILL JOIN ALLIES
Shot Mother-in-Law to Death After Bitter Guar
 rel With Wife

That Joseph Eardley, sentenced to life Imprisonment from Bridgeport in April, 1904. for the murder of his motherzin-law, and now given his freedom by the board of pardons will join the British army and go to fight in Europe was the belief expressed to- day by his former friends here. Eard- ley was sentenced to life imprison- ment for the murder of Mrs. Eliza beth Lawrence of Booth street, whom he shot to death after a bitter quarrel which he claimed she brought about with his wife.
 Since his incarceration EardIey has repeatedly petitioned for pardon. His wife had never visited him in prison and about two years ago she obtained a divorce and soon afterward married a man named Bronson. Eard1ey's plans for the future are not definitely known to any one here nor has he communicated with any Of his old friends in the Bridgeport Minstrel club or the English organizations with which he was formerly affiliated.
 Eardley has brother and two sis ters who live here and after his re- lease he will probably visit them all. Before his marriage here he was a sergeant in the British army. His friends declared today that he would probably leave the country and re- enlist in the army. Eard1ey will be released either Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning.

State Debt Amounts
 To $11, ,oO0. 900 Now

State Treasurer Edward $. Roberts has presented his report to the gover- nor, for the fiscal year ended Septem- Der 80, 1914.
 The year showed the seventh an nllal deficit, hut much larger this year than the averages for seven years, be- ing $2,467. 7.6O3.71-
 In seven years the state has turned a surplus Of $265,47O.36 into a net debt of O,961,272. being a. loss of $11.226,742. 39, or an annual average of more than $1.6O3,0O0.
 Tn the last two years the deficit has been $6,0s3, 415.75.
 It is time to call a halt in all but the most pressing expenditures
 On November 20th, 1918 I sold state bonds amounting to $4,OoO,O00 bear ing interest at per cent. and receiv- ed a premium on the entire issue of s1O,840.
 On the delivery of these bonds the bonded debt of the state amounted to S11.O64,1OO This is a larger amount than was ever stated by the treasurer in any previous annual report.
 Three million sixty-four thousand dollars of the bonds now outstanding will be due in 1884 and eight million dollars will mature July 1, 1936. Thus it will be seen that in about twenty one years the entire amount must be paid. A state tax of half a mill per annum would probably raise this amount in that period, and it would seem to be best to enact a tax levy of shat rate for the next twenty-one years, to be used exclusively for the purchase of state bonds for cancella. ton.
 Ii addition to this f-3 mill 9azt I recommend a tax of mills for the needs of the state. This will be none too much.

BERLIN GAY THOUGH
 LACK OF MORE NEWS
 IS DISAPPOINTMENT

Berlin, Friday Dec. 1s, via The Hagus and London, Dec. 19.-(Delayed in 4nsTnission.) )-Berlin was still in festive array today celebrating the reported victory in Poland, but the people experienced a shade of disap- pointment from the breyity Of the official war bulletin, which failed to supply any further details of the Pol ish engagement. The newspapers this afternoon point out that the present developments in the eastern arena of the war will require several days to reach a stage where the net results can be approximately set forth
 In the meanwhile, various runors are in circulation concerning the very large number of prisoners taken by the Germans.
 Rudolph Yon Valentini, chief of Emperor Wflliams civil cabinet, an- swering a telegram from the East Prussian synod to the emperor, wrote as follows:
 'T1is Majesty confidently trusts
 that the unswerving will to con
 quer, with Colds help, will lead
 the fatherland through the present
 trying days to a happier future.
