EDUCATION AND COMEDY
FEATURED AT EMPIRE

Cruel injustice is done in photo

length that will be featured as a star
attraction at the Empire theater this
afternoon and evening when the pic
ture, The Hero OF Consequences" Is
offered patrons of this house for the
first time However alls we'll that
ends well, and everyone comes to the
front and center of the stage indicat-
ing that troubles have vanished. The
plot is interesting because Of the APP
parently hopeless way in which the
characters are scattered. They all
meet at the interesting climax.
The program for today combines
both educational and comedy feature
films. A tour through the Caucasian
mountains is depleted by the aid of
{ the camera. Some clever photography
is combined to make this picture one
of the best displayed on local screen
in many, weeks.

duce the requisite number of laughs.
Over the Crib is stirring drama In
which several favorites on the moving

is a comedy selection that has been
highly praised on the mainland.

WOMAN'S EXCHANGE TO BE ORGANIZED
Will Be Organized By Woman's anb Mfrs. w. w. Bracket to
 Be ill Charge.

As an echo of the exhibit of handi- work and canned fruit, etc, which was given at the First Congregational church last winter under the auspices of the Woman's club, the civic de- partment of that club is considering plans for the establishment of woman's Exchange in New Britain early in the fall.
 Arrangements are yet in tentative form, but it is probable that the new Exchange will be opened with a pulp lie exhibit late in September or early in October in one of the vacant stores on Main street, This exhibit, which will be made up of articles sent in by the different members of the Woman's club, will then be re- moved to the home of Mrs. w. w. have permanent charge. Here the articles will be sold to the public and the receipts, minus a slight commits sion, returned to the persons who con tributed them.
 Instigators of the movement for an Exchange are Mrs. Frank F. Porter and Mrs. Isaac D. Russell. They were actively engaged in the conducting or the exhibit at the First church last winter and, after hearing many vis- itors express their desire to purchase some of the articles on exhibition, they conceived the idea of establish ing permanent Exchange in this city. These two women, together With Mrs. R. N. Hemenway and Mrs. J. H. Robinson constitute the committee on arrangeme ents.

PREDICT WARBURG
 WILL WITHDRAW
Some Democratic Senators Believe New York Banker Will Follow
 Example of T. ID. Jones.

IAdHIplC O1 II. D. JOn6S.
 Washington, July 25.-Some dem ocratic senators close to the admin istration were predicting today that Paul M. Warburg of New York would follow the example of Thomas D. Jones of Chicago and ask President Wilson to withdraw his nomination as a member of the federal reserve board.
 Word was still awaited here today from Paul M. Warburg of New York, President Wilson's nominee for the federal reserve board. as to whether or not he would accept the invitation to ap- pear before the senate banking com- mittee. Upon his final decision in the matter was said to hinge whether President Wilson and administration leaders in the senate would make a fight for his confirmation.
 Pending disposition of the War burg case, the president probably will not choose a successor to Thomas D. Jones of Chicago, whose nomination to the reserve board was withdrawn. Should MT. Warburg be eliminated 1t would be necessary to select an- other banker, the law requiring that there shall be two bankers on the board, and there is only one among the three nominees already con- firmed.

RAILROAD STRIKE
 SEEMS PROBABLE
Federal Mediation Fails to Settle Wage Difference of Vest
 ern Employes.

Chicago, July 25.-Mediation has failed to settle the wage differences between the ninety-eight western railroads and their 5e,e00 engine men.
 Although no statement could be ob- tained from the mediators or any of the disputants, it is known that lit- tie or no progress has been made toward an agreement and that a strike of enginemen on the ninety eight railroads west of Chicago may take place at any time.
 A special meeting was held last night after the mediators had met during the day with both the engine men and the managers committee.
 Rumors that the strike would be called Tuesday were denied by one of the enginemen, who said: 'It has not progressed that far yet" Unofficially, however, it was stated that today's would probably be the last of the meetings with the federal mediators. The enginemen have promised two days notice of a strike to the rail- reads.

.UNION|STS PREPARING
 FOR GENERAL ELECTION
Amending Bill to Irish Home Rule Measure Comes Up
 Tuesday.

London, July 25.-Since the failure of the conference on the Ulster situa- tion between the leaders of the vari- ous political parties at Buckingham Palace, politicians have turned their attention to the next step to be taken in the home rule controversy.
 Premier Asquith and the other members of the cabinet remained in town for the greater part of today, and several communications passed between King George and the pre- mier, but no meetings were held.
 It is understood that much depends on the result of the meeting of the Irish national party on Monday, when the Irish members of parliament will decide what attitude they are going to adopt toward the bill to amend the Irish home rule bill. The amending bin comes up for discussion on Tues day in the house of commons Many of the Irish members consider that as the Ulster unionists rejected the offer of a settlement embodied in the amending bill as originally introduced the bill should be withdrawn and the home rule bill allowed to become law under the operation of the parliament act.
 The government, however, is gen. orally expected to urge the passage of the second reading. of the amend ing bill as amended by the house of lords, so that it may be restored to it's original condition in committee. This, it is pointed out, would give another chance for discussion with the pos- sibility of reaching an agreement. Few, however, expect this step to be successful.
 The unionists are, meanwhile. pre- pairing for a general election in the belief that, failing a settlement by consent, Premier Asquith will advise a dissolution of parliament

CENTENARY OF PEACE
 OBSERVED IN ENGLAND
Home of Washington Do. hated As Gift to Ameri-
 can People.

Sulgrave, England, July 25.-The first formal ceremony in honor of the one. hundred years of peace be- tween the English speaking nations occurred here today when Sulgrave Manor the home of the family of George Washington, purchased for $42,50O subscribed in Great Britain, was handed over to members of the centenary committee as a gift to the American people.
 This quaint village was in holiday attire in honor of the occasion. The visiting party consisted of the Ameri- can ambassador, Walter H. Page, the Duke of Teck, Lord Shaw, Shirley Renn, member of the house of com mons, H. s. Ferris, secretary of the committed; Harry Britain, secretary of the Pilgrims society, and Arthur Rranscombe, author of the history of the Washington family. They were greeted by the mayor and other officials of the Municipality, in their official robes. after which the school children, who had been gathered for the occasion, sang the national an- thems of both the United States and Great Britain.
 Following this pretty greeting, the party proceeded in motor cars to the Manor, where, at the ancient doorway, the Duke of Teck handed the keys to Ambassador Page. The party then went to the ancient church where Washington's ancestors are buried.
 At Queen Eleanor's cross, erected by Edward l., and which now stands in portion of the city of Northamp- ton, the spot where the emigrating Washingtons took leave of the family, the centenary party was received by the mayor and local officials of Northampton, also in robes. A re- ception and luncheon followed in the guild hall.
 The mayor and committee members then visited the country seat of Earl Spencer. whose ancestors were related to the Washingtons, and viewed other Washingtonian shrines.
 Moving pictures were taken of the ceremonies and will be exhibited throughout the United States It is expected that. they will be first shown before President Wilson in the White House at Washington.
