VACANCIES IN CITY
 ARE LESS THAN 300
Real Estate Transactions Fallen Of Slightly in Past Three Months.
 Values Maintained

New Britain's real estate dealers deny the statement that more than fifteen hundred rents are vacant in the city and three hundred is given as the maximum number of vacan- cies The greater part of these va cancies exist north of the railroad tracks where it is said many of the factory workers are doubling up in houses formerly occupied by only one family in order to cut down ex- penSes.
 There has been no tendency to decrease rents on the part of property owners on account of the retrench- ment of the factories except in a few cases in the north end Real estate transactions have fallen off slightly in the last three months but there is not the slightest reason to suppose that valuations have decreased. It is practically impossible to get mort gages and as a result much building has been postponed. The Savings Bank of New Britain is the only one in the city which issues loans on real estate under normal conditions and this bank is now holding out because it's depositors may need cash in case of hard times this winter.
 It is believed that as soon as the present money stringency< is over valuations will be found increasir 2 in the city.

PASSES VOTE FOR
 MILLION MORE MEN
House of Commons Endorses Meas. ure for EnQ,and's Additional Army.

London, Nov. 20, 1:57 D. m.-The house of commons today formally passed the vote for the supplementary army estimate, which provides for an additional army of one million men.
 This is the additional million men mentioned by Premier Asquith in the house of commons last Monday. It is quite apart from the territorials, and is additional to the 100000 men now said to be under arms.
 Sufficient for Success.
 Referring to the supplementary es- innate, Harold J. Tennant, under sec retary of state for war, said the of ficial view was that this further mill lion men ought to be sufficient, so far as the government was able to see at present, to crown British arms with success. He declined to give the actual numbers of men enlisted, but he said the figures recently given by the prime minister, which were, roughly, in the neighborhood of 100000, were below rather than above the actual total.
 The present idea of the war office MT. Tennant continued, was to dup licate the territorial force, making one battalion for home defense and the other for foreign service. Change His Decision. With regard to the suggestions thai Lord Kitchener's army of recruits should be treated differently to the , professional soldiers, Mr. Remnant re , marked: "The chief characteristic o1 Lord Kitchener is not sentiment, anc not even persuasive eloquence. These advocates of differential treatmen would make him change his decision 1 in a matter on which he feel: i strongly"

 Death Came.

Having arrived in this city but three days ago, after spending the past four teen months in Los Angeles, Califor- nia, Alpi Petrawski. aged twenty seven years and a teamster by occupa- . tion, died suddenly yesterday at the home of his sister, Mrs. Agnes Sawoka of 59 Beaver street. As the dead man had no medical attention since arriV- ing in this city Medical Examiner pr. T. G. Wright was called.
 Questions put to the sister showed that she knew nothing of any pre- yious sickness that her brother suf- fered and all she could tell him was that he retired, was taken violently i'll. and died almost immediately. IL could not be ascertained whether or not Petrawski had been i'll in the west. Dr. Wright gave the cause of death as natural but unknown.
 The sister, at whose home he died is Petrawski's only surviving relative and her joy at his return has been turned to grief at his untimely death
 The funeral will be held tomorrow morning and interment will be in the new Catholic cemetery.

Hardy, of Deer Isle and the crew of four men of the three masted schooner Fannie and Fay, finally succeeded in reaching land after a second battle with the elements today.

 The men were assisted in reaching shore by'Harry Chapman, who went to their assistance with motor boat.
 Had Terrible Passage.
 Captain Hardy said he had a terri ble passage after leaving Vineyard Haven on Monday morning on his trip from New York to Portland with fertilizer and he never expected to see land again.
 First the schooner was blown or by a northwestern. Then the wind sniff ted to the eastward and the Fannie and Fay stood off shore. When the snow storm and gale began last night, Captain Hardy made for the best anchorage possible under the circum- stance. He had lost his bearings and did not know that he had select ed one of the worst places along the Maine coast.
 ! Schooner Rolled Heavily. 1 The schooner rolled heavily all dur- i ing the night and the waves frequent l lv broke through the cabin windows l and doors She was leaking some l what when abandoned.

OHIO COUNTY COUPLE
WE'D At INDIANA FAIR
The Ceremony Was Witnessed
By ThOusands-A Very
Happy Occasion.

Rockport, Ind. Aug. 29.-One of
the most popular features of the
/ Rockport fair is the public wedding.
| During the past few years several
unions of hands and hearts have
been made on the platform on the
north side of the track in full view
of admiring thousands in the grand
stand. AS a serenade the band al
ways plays "Therel BE a Hot Time
in the Old Town Tonight, ''and when
people hear the above piece they
know that the ceremony of holy
matrimony has been performed.
Last Thursday afternoon Mr.. Ellis
Hines and Miss Flora Ralph. from

lucky, were the happy parties
words that open the doors to con-
nubial bliss. In all respects the
affair was a great success but there
was one little variation that Squire
Poole hadn't looked for. The groom
beat him to it, and kissed the
bride while he was getting ready.
Royal treatment as usual was ac-
corded Mr.. and Mrs. Hines by the
fair company. The company paid
for the license, settled the marrying
fee, provided free automobile ride
to the fair grounds and gave free
entrance TO attractions on the
grounds. They left for home that
evening with happy hearts and a
feeling OF gratitude to the company
for their big day at the Rockport
fair.

SUBMITS A STATEMENT
To the People In Regard To
School Matters OF
Ohio County.
Hartford. Ky. Aug. 10. 1914.

Hartford, Ky. Aug 10, 1914.
To the People of Ohio County
Realizing that it is always best for
those interested in the same object
to have definite understanding,
we, the County Board of Education,
in executive session, wish to submit
the following facts which directly
concern, not only the County Board
of Education, school teachers and
trustees, but every taxpayer and ev-
cry citizen of the county.
To the trustees we will say that
we will not be able this year to do
the building. repairing and furnish
ing of school houses that we have
been asked to do and which perhaps
absolutely needs to be done, for the
reason that on account of the unu-
sual drouth of last year and the
great expense incurred i'm procuring
water for the schools and other un-
avoidable expenses, We are now pay
ing interest on more than $1,000.
borrowed money, which debt we are
anxious to liquidate just as soon as
1t can be consistently done.
To the teachers of 1913, We wish
to say that we regret very much
that We We're not able to pay any
thing for extra attendance, for the
reason that according to the sched-
ule for that year the public money
fell short more than $4,000 of pay
ing the salary OF the teachers, which
shortage we We're forced to make
good with borrowed money.
Not in spirit of criticism of any
one, but that there may be better
understanding of these matters in
which We are all mutually interest
ed, these facts are submitted
We would assure the public that
we are earnestly and honestly striv-
ing to manage the school affairs of
our county in fair, honest and
economical manner, and We would
urge all loyal citizens everywhere to
lend helping hand. that conditions
may be made better for our more
than 5000 girls and boys.
With this object in view, may we
all work together. To this end We
pledge you our earnest endeavor and
honest effort.
