H. & H. INCREASES ITS
 CAPITAL TO $3OO,OOo
Fafnir Bearing Company Ex- poets to Buy Out Hart
 and Cooley

A certificate of increase in capital stock from $2OO,OOO to $30O,OOO was filed today with the city clerk by Hart & Hutchinson, one of New Britain's most progressive manufacturing firms.
 The shares will be increased from 2,OOO to 5000 with par at $1OO and all will be common stock. The de- cision to increase the stock was made 9 few days ago at a meeting of the directors.
 Hart & Hutchinson's plant is located or Corbin avenue in the western sec- tlon of the city and the principal line is lockers. The concern is one of the infant industries but it is growing to be a healthy youth and under good management it's business is increasing fast.
 If business conditions continue to improve and plans which are now contemplated mature, the Hart & Cooley Co.,, manufacturers of sheet metal registers, will move their entire concern from it's present location on Booth street to the western section of the city on the tract which was bought several years ago by the Hart & Hutchinson company. In connection with this change it is probable that the Booth street plant, which is now jointly occupied by Hart & Cooley and the Fafnir Bearing company, manufac cturers of ball bearings, will be sold to the latter firm.
 The Fafnir Bearing company, which is doing a large and increasing busi- ness is in need of more floor space and an addition to the plant is con- templated by the erection of new buildings.
 This question of new building is still to be decided, but the continued growth may lead to it's eventually ac- Quiring the entire Hart & Cooley plant. Howard S. Hart, who is presi- dent of both concerns, was authority for the above story in a statement issued to the Herald today.

FIR. BOJNOWSKpS HOME
 IN HANDS OF INVADER
Brother Fleeing from Ger mans, Thought to Have
 Been Shot.

Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, pastor or the Sacred Heart of Jesus church, Tn nathetic letter received from a brother who is now in Moscow, Rus sia. learned of the complete devasta- tion of his former home,' which was regarded as one of the most modern in Poland. at the hands of the German soldiers while on their triumphant en- try into the city of Warsaw.
 The missive tells of the terrible con- dition that exist in that country and of the fight made by the priests two brothers and sisters out in the night to escape the soldiers. It also states that one of the brothers In ms dash for safety disappeared and no word of any nature has been heard from hlm since. It is the belief that he fell a victim to German bullets.
 Starvation and disease is prevalent in Poland and few children are to be found in that part of the country. Women particularly have felt priva- tion and have fallen victims to want and hunger. The sisters of the priest are now in Miensk, Russia while the surviving brother is Tn Moscow.
 The family have abandoned all idea of ever recovering their home. Father Bojnowski and other Polish priests of the state will attend meet ing tomorrow afternoon in the Hotel Gotham on Fifth avenue, New York, at o'clock. The meeting has been arranged by Mrs. He1ena Paderewski, wife of the noted pianist, to start a movement for raising funds for the Polish sufferers.

GERMAN PAPER
 COMMENTS ON NOTE
Says That Wilson's Words to Eng

Hamburg, Germany, Nov. Il, via London, 12:55 p. m.-Commenting on the latest note of the United States to Great Britain relative to inter- ference win American trade since the beginning of the war, the Frem- denblatt is struck by the similarity Of the tone and thesis to communica- tions sent to Germany, but the news paper holds that judgment upon the note must depend, not on the phraseology but on how it is trans lated into action
 Continuing the Fremenblatt says: "1t will surprise many that MT. Will son. regarding whose personal sym pathies we entertain no doubt, has maintained this principle in such energetic words against Great Brit ain and it is indeed noteworthy that he does. not suppress his penchant for vigorous phrases, but demands cessation of the burdensome and ii- legal practice and challenges the validity of the ostensible British blockade.'' - s

Kansas and Adjacent States Swept
 By Wind and Rain
GREAT BEND SUFFERS MOST
Two Known to Be Dead in that Town Telephone and Lights Out or Order-Material Damage Expected to Be Heavy.

Kansas City, Nov. 11.-Six dead, at least fifty injured and property damage of more than half million dollars were results of the terrific winds and rain storm which swept over central Kansas last night.
 The paralyzed condition of wire communication made it impossible to reach much of the stricken dis trict at noon today. According to information available here deaths were distributed as follows: Great Bend, Kas., two; Larned, Kas., two; Zyba, Kas., one; Derby, Kas., one
 Many persons at first believed dead were later found buried in the ruins of their homes and rescued alive. Some, after being reported dead for several hours, were found long dis tances from their homes.
 Great Bend, Kas., was the heavlest sufferer. A tornado struck the town, killed two persons, injured hun dred or more and wrecked many buildings. The town was plunged into darkness and a drenching rain followed Property damages there was estimated at $50O,000. Consider able damage was done in the country in the vicinity of Hoisington and Claf- lin.

Two Dead in Great Bend.

Great Bend, Kas., Nov. Ill., Two persons dead, and two score in- jured and property loss amounting to $500,000 was believed today to be the extent of the damage caused by the tornado which swept through the southern part of Great Bend last night.
 Physicians were rushed here from nearby towns as quickly as telephone wires, which had been snapped by the tornado had been restored. The tor nado, coming out of the southwest struck the city with only few sec- onds warning.
 Water and lights Out.
 The water and electric light plant and a group of three mills were de- stroyed, together with the depot of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad.
 From there a path several blocks wide and three quarters of a mile long was cut through the soutk resi- dence district.
 When the electric light plant was struck, the city was thrown into dark ness which with the blinding down pour of rain that followed added to the confusion. wires broke out in many places, but were soon extin- guished by the drenching rain.
 Searching parties spent the night exploring the debris of residences and business structures for dead and in- jured.
