 If there was anything missing from the program of the Second Ward Re publican club that would have the slightest tendency to spoil the outing at Savin Rock, Saturday it has yet to be discovered. The affair was a com. plete success. one of the biggest sue. cesses in the history of republican or. ganization in this city. Nearly 200 were in attendance.
 Everyone went to the Rock" in automobiles So many machines were rendered that there was room for all who wished to travel by gasoline and everyone wished. Then there were several autos left over and these were returned to the garages. It was an ideal day for the trip and all the natives in the towns on the line of march" gaped as the New Britain contingent whizzed through their fair villages.
 Dinner was served at 3 o'clock prompt. Score another point for the club. There was no waiting and when the minute hand of the clock touches B. the head waiter at the Colonnade gave the signal and the first course was served. The dinner was excel lent, leaving nothing to be desired

GAINS GROUND; WOMEN
URGE MEN ON
(By Associated Press.)

New York, July 21.-There was Is
oting in the plant of the Standard Oil
Company today, when a mob of strik
ers encountered the guards. The
police say that five thousand men
were engaged. One rioter was killed.
Fifty persons, including the polio e
and rioters were injured.
The fact that the Tidewater plant
of the Standard oil Company is in
operation today, seemed to anger the
strikers, who understood that the
strike was to extend there, and this
is believed to have caused the attack.
The uniformed police of 'Bayonne
bore the brunt of the attack They
were stationed just outside of the
plant. When the rioters rushed the
police drove them back.
Many police were hit by stones,
pieces of Stag and shots fired at the
officers.
The police fired one volley over
the heads of the crowd. This, how
ever, halted the attack only for a |
moment, and then the order was CIV
en- to fire again, Dut this time to aim
low.

are few favorite traits about the
