NEWTOWN 6. O. P.
 PICKS NOMINEES
Wheeler and Tilson Named For Representatives and Curtiss is Candidate For Judge of Probate.
(speciaI to The Farmer. )

Newtown, Oct. 1o.-Editor A. F. Smith was the chairman and Herman N. Tiemanns Sr., secretary of the Re- publican caucus held last night in the town hall. About forty voters were present. John B. Wheeler of North Newtown and Josiah A. Tilson of Sandy Hook. were nominated as representatives and Hobart H. Curtiss the Sandy Hook merchant, was nam ed as judge of probate. The first two nominations were made by acclama- ton, but it required two ballots to decide the choice for the Judicial nomination. w. c. Johnson, despite his disinclinatton to run was put. in nomination by his friends and aI- though the first ballot showed him far in the lead, he persisted in his declination and resigned in favor of Curtiss, his nearest competitor. The second ballot still showed that the younger element would not forego Johnson for he, received ten votes. MT. Johnson then peremptori1y declined and spoke in favor of Curtiss. Ac- cordingly the meeting by exclamation made choice of Curtiss.
 The discussion during the intervals between. ballots showed the tension of friction between elements of the party, and the insinuation was made that some votG rs participating in the caucus did not intend to support the choice of the meeting fer judge of probate. At this point the chairman hurried matters so that the inpend- ing outbreak might not happen ibv ordering the selection of Justices of the peace, and the trouble was avera- ed for the time being. A large mum Der of Democrats were spectators in the gallery of the hall and enjoyed, the excitement among their friends. the enemy, and the matter is an in tnTaEfinO &r16 ' k

MELEN SAYS HE
 SOLD N. H. SHORT

New York, Oct. 1e-t'what do you think of the annual reports of the New Haven?" a reporter asked Charles S. Me1len, yesterday.
 ''I haven't looked at 1t. You know I am not a stockholder,' replied the ex-president of the road, who spent the afternoon testifying before the fed- eraI grand jury.
 'sYes, sir,'' he went on. .tyou see when I ceased to be president of, the road, I got nervous, real nervous and sold all my stock; so nervous that I sold more than owned, so you can see how nervous was, and how badly I must have. felt when I found out that had sold nore'n owned and I haven't bought 1t back yet.''
 Let's see,'' said the reporter isn't that what wicked Wall. street calls selling short ?''
 Mercy no, nothing like that. I was just nervous, so nervous I sold more than owned and I've been so nervous since haven't been able to buy it back

HABERLIN'S STAFF
 LEAVES HIM FLAT
Waterbury Reporters Strike Rather Than Work Under
 Former BridgepOPter.

Waterbury, oct. 10-Leaders of the I. w. w. take notice. A reporters strike
 Efas been declared in Waterbury and
 four members of the pad and pencil fraternity are idle today when all efforts at mediation" failed yesterday afternoon The reportorial staff of the Waterbury Republican is affected al though it's editors refuse to feel alarm ed over the situation. The places of the 'tstriking scribes' have been filled
 and the different beats were covered last evening without any difficulty. Considering the fact that there's a1- ways two sides to a story, the strike aspect of the incident is overshadoW- ed in the statement made by Timothy IF, Barry, general manager of the Re- publicans. The latter. does consider or rather recognizes the claim that
 the former reporters are on strike but
 has stated that the four men who
 sponsored the ultimatum, were dis
 missed from the staff.
 The dissension among the reporters of the Republican dates back about two weeks. When Ralph Ebbert re- signed as city editor to accept a posi- ton with the Public Ledger of Phi1a-
 de1phia, James H. Haberltn was pro-
 noted to his position from the rank
 of telegraph editor in accordance with the papers policy <of Awarding contin- uous service.
 The four reporters, three of whom live out of town, are Eugene T.. Nor ton, Charles s. Zack, Clifton v. Cross
 and Louis Sobol. They gave their side or the story last night. First of
 allS'S they said, I've wish it understood that we are not on strike. If Mir. lBarry wanted us to work last night or until he could secure men to fill our places, we would have given our ser vices and asked no pay for the work, n 11TJ
 when we refused to work under City
 Editor Haberlin and demanded that
 MT. Norton. the police reporter, be
 hired back again. MT. Norton had been discharged by City Editor Haber- lin, following an argument between the two, and had been given a week s notice. We then went to Mayor Scui- ly and presented our case to him, as an ex-reporter. We asked him to act
 as our spokesman to MT. Barry and
 present our demand to him, to have MT. Haberlin removed as city editor and to have Norton's discharge recon sidered, as Norton is an efficient re-
 porter. The result was that Norton's
 one weeks notice was withdrawn and he was discharged without ceremony, into the affair. As matter of fact, 1t was not Norton who asked Mayor
 Scul1y as an ex-newspapernan, to tn-
 tercede for us.
 E When Norton was discharged we refused to take our assignments and told MT. Barry so. He would not Hs-
 ten to our appeal to have Norton re-
 hired. Then he asked us, one by one, fW1lI you go to work?' We answered
 sNos and he told Us to get our pay. We
 were discharged, and there is no strike
 James H. Haberlin, mentioned in .the foregoing, was formerly employed as sporting editor of the Bridgeport Tel
 egram, but left town suddenly about two years ago.

ROaches

Some people tolerate roach es and waterbugs in the kit chen, in vain belief that the rest of the family will not find it out. Perhaps they will not, but suppose that some day you would serve roach in the pie; perhaps then you would wish that you had spent 2Oc for a box of Cyrus Roach Powder. It is certainly worth your while.
