SOON ID OPEN LONDON EXCHANGE Bank of England To Advance sixty Per Cent, of Loane-A Govern.
 ment Operation.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-The re-opening of the London Stock Exchange has now come within the pale of practical politics. A plan was officially an- nounced today to provide against forced realization on stocks on a large scale. This is the first step in rehabilitating the Stock Exchange position.
 The banks, protected by their abil- ity to secure the new currency rates, have found themselves able to dis pense with state assistance, and they agree not to press for repayment Of loans until one year after the war. The government will arrange with the Bank of England to advance to Stock Exchange members 60 per cent. of the value at July 29 prices of stocks held by leaders at per cent. above the bank rate, these advances to be repayable at any time. When stocks reach the July 29 prices again the lenders have a right to call their loans.
 The Stock Exchange Committee will shortly publish new rules by which clients. so far as possible, may share in the advantages of the scheme. If any leader who might come under the scheme presses for repayment of loans the Exchange as a body will on the borrowers behalf plead the Courts Emergency Powers act.
 The Stock Exchange will only re- open at date and under conditions approved by the treasury. By this plan the operations of the London Stock Exchange are for the first time submitted to government approval The chief criticism likely to be made is that big men rather than small are helped.

VILLA MARCHING
 0N THE CAPITAL Bloody Battle Expected soon-Gen. Obrequon Calls To Southern Mex
 tcans To Aid Government.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.-The State department has been advised by it's agent in Mexico that the Vil- la forces are now near Queretaro and threaten that city. The reports al so show that the new rebellion now opening promises to be the bloodiest war in the history of Mexico.
 Both factions are we'll armed, the constant importing of arms and am- intuition the past two years has re- suited in the arming of all the able bodied men in the republic. Both sides have many field guns, Carran- ga has an aeroplane and Villa is re- ported to have one if not more of the air-warships.
 The State department is working hard to secure from both sides guar antees of safety for all foreigners for foreign-owned property.
 WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.-Reports received here by the State depart ment from it's agents in Mexico in- dicate that General Villa has made rapid progress in his march to Mex ico City. It is believed by most Mex jeans that Villa will soon be in con- trol of the capital.
 MEXICO CITY, Nov 20.-General Obrequon has summoned the people of the republic to arms to aid in fight ing Villa and his horde of rebels. Obrequon calls Villa traitor and a criminal, who should not be al- lowed to gain power because it would only be used for his own glorifica- tion and not to further the interests of the people. He calls upon south ern Mexicans to drop all personal and factional quarrels and rally to the aid of the provisional government.
 WASHINGTON Nov. 20.-The fol- lowers of Provisional President Car ranza are fleeing from Mexico City, fearing that General Villa will take the city. They will seek safety in flight to Vera Cruz.
 VERA CRUZ, Nov. 20.-General VVlla has captured the city of Que rato and has moved his headquarters to that city. His advance upon Mex ico City is expected to require but a week or ten days.

PUTNAM FLAMES pANIELsoN. Manager of H. s. ouintstts Claims K. H. S. Players Are in Fault in 5as- kstbaII Disagreement.

The statement given out by the basketball management of the Putnam High school W ednesday has stirred things up considerably Ih the town to the southwark for it was immediately answered by a most sarcastic and bit- ter article in which Putnam High was charged with playing mean, ungentle- manly and unSportSmanlike basketball. In spite of all this, the basketball root CTS of Putnam consider that they have a little to say on their side of the question, and they know that Killingly High is not as spotIess as 1t Is pre- tending to be. For example: They do not consider the account of the Christ mas night game of last season that ap- peared in a Hartf9yd paper the follow sportsmanlike article; yet this was sent from Killingly. Putnam High school players declare that no article has ever been sent from their school Tor publication that was not absolutely true in all its details, and which the entire student body would not stand back of. The manager of the P. H. s, basketball team says he would like to know why, if K. H. S. wished to regis ter protest against Putnam's play ing, 1t did not do so in the manner specified in the Quinebaug Valley league rules. At the banquet held at the close of last season the captain of the Kilhngly 1913-14 five was called upon to speak. In closing he said he hoped for as pleasant season with Putnam in 1915 as the one just closed. His remarks were greeted with pro- longed applause and cheering. Killing ly apparently did not harbor any ill., feeling then, but now their absolute refusal to play Putnam makes ittoolz as if they were afraid to come out and play like the sportsmen they are pretending to be. The Putnam mana ger is also anxious to know why Man. ager Brown of the KIllingly quintette answered the two written requests for games by a cold enclosed dates un- satisfactory" and then made excuses when he was called by telephone and again asked for series. Why didn't Killingly~ come right out and say they didn't want to play if they didn't, in stead of trying to sidestep Putnam's friendly attempt to get c series? Is the Putnam manager is asking. Moreover, the Putnam manager claims that he is still willing to give any date of the present playing season for a game with Kiliingly. this game to be played under absolutely neutral conditions.

 Danielson Case compromised
 Relieving the short calendar, the jury WAS iInpanelied for the case of Charles Barron. or BatTy, as he is more commonly called, ys. the Crystal Water co1npany of Danielsdn. There were exactly 12 jurors in attendaIice the balance being either i'll or excused. Attorney Dwyer of Hartford asiSFd a few preliminary questions and ap- reared satisfied that none of the twelve were prejudiced.
 The case was then proceeded with. and after the evidence in both sides was in Messfs. Searls and Torrey for the defense argued motion to direct a verdict. which was opposed by At torney Dwyef. The question raised was difficult one, and the court de- cided against the motion pro fornna, and the case was about to proceed, with permission to the defenes to re- new the motion next Tuesday, when, at Q short recess taken before the afgu@ mentS, the attorneys got together and agreed on a settlement, the exact de- tails of which were not forthcoming.
 Court then adjourned until next Tuesday morning.
 Facts in Barron Case
 The facts in the Barron case were lAAcbI IAAC nAlll6 SCIN4l1B d 6Gu~ tence for intoxication in the Windham county jail in Brooklyn was farn1ed out to work digging d trench for the Crystal Water company on Potter street in the town of Danielson, and while sc working was injured by cave-in, which filled the trench up to his shoulders, so that he had to be dug out. His leg was broken, and the suit was for $1,o00 for the resultant injuries.
 The point of the defense was that Barron was not under the control of the defendant company, but that the county of windham was an independ- ent contractor, and therefore the Crys- tai Water company was not responsible for the accident. Numerous authori- ties were cited by both sides in the argument over the motion for a yer dict, and the case, if continued, would in all probability have gone to the supereme court on this point
 Among those who testified in the case were Dr. George M. Burroughs of Danielson, George s. Brown, superin- tendent of the Crystal Water company, Willis F. Berry, who was in charge of the prisoners engaged in the work, Gill; bert s. Fields. deputy jailer, the plain tiff, and B fellow prisoner at the time. Henry Lizzie of Plainfif1e1d.
 At l.: 30 o'clock the noon recess was taken and lasted until 2 o'clock, that the judge and members of the bar might attend the funeral of Hon. Eu- Der Clark.
