POLL PLAYERS IN
 500TH PERFORMANCE

Five hundred consecutive perform ances by stock company is record to be proud of and Manager Neal Harper and the Poli Players were Justified in their celebration yester- day. A large section of Hartford playgoers also celebrated by going to see the opening performances of "Sky farm, the most rural of all rural dramas. Every woman attending the matinee received a box of chocolates from the management and all were happy as they munched candy and watched favorite type of play pre- sented by the most competent stock company in New England, bar none.
 Sky Farm" is the most bucolic of all the school of New England plays. Compared to it, "The Old Homestead" and Shore Acres" are plays of metro politan life. One almost catches the odor of the wheat and hay, and the management heightened the illusion by decorating the lobby plentifully with farm products. Also, it is play of types" of characters, always the hardest sort of part for the stock actor, trained in his part through but few brief rehearsals. To their credit the Poli Players tackled the difficult job bravely and brought it to an ex- ceedingly successful conclusion. Had they failed, they would have been justified in claiming excuses, but they didn't fail.
 From the point of view of plot, Sky Farm" is much the same as its predecessors and successors. There is the usual concealed marriage, threatening dire trouble and the loss of her reputation for the unfortunate bride, the usual grasping landlord with the usaul mortgage, the usual noble hero and heroine and the usual comedy parts But the Poli Players managed to get under the skin of all the melodrama, and translate their roles into the language and doings of real people.

"LiI" Comes Visiting.

Sit down, Lii. Hello, Harry" Dicky was on his feet in an instant, and Lillian Gale was seated next to me with Dicky and her husband leaning over us before I had fully realized that the woman, the thought of whom had so disturbed my evening, was so close to me. l.
 want you to know Mrs. Graham, Harry" Dicky said. I glowed in- wardly at the note of pride in his voice, and looked up to meet pair of brilliant black eyes looking at me with an appraising approval that grated. He was tall, good-looking chap, with an air of ennui that sat oddly on his powerful frame. I felt sure that J would like Lillian Gales husband as little as I did the woman herself.
 What are you up to tonight, any way, Dickybird ?" As Mrs. Under wood spoke fnvoluntarily thought of Dickys description of her voice as D Comanche yell. It was a voice with great possibilities of beauty in it's tones. but she evidently did not know how to modulate 1t, or did not care to do so, ....

 He handed her the program with it's marginal drawings. She studied them intently for 8 minute.

DANBURY FAIR OPENS
 MONDAY, OCTOBER 4

The great Danbury Fair opens Mon- day, October 4, and that date Is close at hand, for it's forty-seVenth annual exhibition. Entries in all classes are larger than ever before, especially in agricultural products and farm ma chinery. The introduction of alternat- ing electric current for power and light from Danbury direct to the Fair Grounds will enable hundreds of machinery men to put their power plants under belt, and machinery hall at the Fair will hum merrier than ever before with all the latest and most approved appliances for saving labor at planting, cultivating, har- vesting and feeding time. Industrial exhibits at the Fair requiring power grow in number and importance each year, and for all enterprises on the large grounds this year there will be no lack of electric juice" for any purpose exhibitors or concessionaries wish to put it to. The result is bound to be pleasing to the thou sands who throng the aisles and enthuse over the wonderful new in ventions that are shown at this great est of all fairs.
 The loss by death of James Morti- mer, who had managed the dog show for many years, Is keenly felt by the officials, who all recognized MT. Mortimer's ability and enjoyed his comradeship. He will be suc- ceeded by his son, Harry, who has worked hand in hand with his father and is a thoroughly capable man. The entries in the dog show are more numerous than ever before and in- clude the aristocrats of dogdom from all quarters of the globe.
 The horse show at the Danbury Fair is progressing rapidly under the able management of w. s. Blitz, of New York, who conducts similar shows at the Syracuse and other large fairs. He has achieved renown in this line of endeavor, and the liber- ality of the Danbury Fair in the matter of treatment of exhibitors is fully appreciated by horse show peo- pie who thoroughly enjoy coming to the Fair.
 The poultry show. the automobile
 show, the cattle show the trotting and pacing races, the motorcycle races, the grand stand and track attrac- tions, the band concerts, and the thousand and one different lines of activity that go to make the Danbury Fair the greatest of them all, will draw a record attendance this year, interest in the Fair as evidenced by

AUSTRIANS FAIL TO
DLSLODGE ITALIAN FORCES.
Progress of Invaders is Impeded by
Heavy Rains and Swollen Rivers.

Udine, Italy, via Paris, June s.
Austrian troops have made repeated
efforts to dislodge the Italian forces
which have succeeded In establishing
themselves on Monte Nero Ridge,
across the Isonzo river, along the front
north of the Gulf of Trieste. Accord
ing to advices reaching Udine today,
the Italians are still in possession of
the ridge.
The advance of the Italians across
the Isonzo has been accomplished in
the face Of unusual difficulties. In con-
sequence of heavy rains, it was i'm
possible to ford the Isonzo, except for
detachmeuts of cavalry whose horses
swan across the river. Engineers,
protected by artillery, constructed
pontoon bridges for the infantry.
Water from Mountains Uproots Tree
Once the troops had reached the fur
Their bank of the river, still greater
difficulties were encountered. The rain
had transformed the mountain paths
into beds of swift running streams
Water pouring down the mountain
sides uprooted trees and INSTRUCTED
progress at every turn. The few
mountain bridges left by the Austri-
ans were carried away by the foods
Rest for the troops was impossible, as
the rocky mountain sides were too ex-
posed, while the valleys, knee deep in
water, were unsuitable for camping
places. Thick fog hung over the whole
region, making it impossible to see for
any distance.
Progress Slow Up Mountain Side.
Progress was slow, but the invaders
made their way up the mountain side,
taking with them heavy artillery, am
munition and transports with sup
plies. They occupied Drezenaca, Cosec,
Karfreit and other smaller villages be-
low Monte Nero, and finally obtained
possession of the ridge. Regular COM
munication with the base on the right
bank of the Isonzo has been maintain
ed, including telephone wire over
which the commander at Caporetto has
been Immediately informed of each at
tack by the AuStrians in their efforts
to dislodge the Italians.
Monte Nero dominates the whole
Friuli valley. Possession of this ridge
enables the Italians to menace ToInirlo
from the rear. This town, together with
the batteries recently erected on Santa
Maria and Santa Lucia hills, presents
one Of the most formidable obstacles
to an italian advance across the Isou-
20 at that point.
Monte Nero also commands the val
leys leading to the northeastern part of
the Isonzo-Plezzo district, having on
it's north Predil pass, which, strongly
fortified. protects the road to Jarvis.
The Italian occupation of this ridge is
thus connected with the action which.
from the Raccolana and Bogna valleys,
threatens the Zebach valley leading to
PTedil.

DAYLIGHT BURGLARY
IN NEW LONDON
Broke Into Cellar and Used an Axe
Inside House.

Burglars perpetrated a bold daylight
robbery in New London Thursday af-
ternoon in the house at the corner of
Buckley palce and Hampstead street,
occupied by Mrs. Idella Holloway and
Mrs. Jane Getchell. The burglars Sc
cured SIS in money, a gold lavaliere
with a chip diamond, and a pearl pin
belonging to Miss Dora Getchen.
Entrance to the house was effected
by breaking into the cellar hatchway,
breaking a door at the top of the stairs
with an axe and entering the Hollo-
way apartment on the first floor. The
apartment was ransacked, but nothing
was taken except that a diamond ring
belonging to Miss Holloway was found
on the floor in the parlor of the
Getchel apartment upstairs.
The burglars broke in the door lead
ing to the Getchen apartment, which
was also ransacked, and the articles
named taken from there. The burg
larry took place some time between
o'clock, when the inmates of the house
all left, and $50 when the burglary
was discovered and reported to the
police.

CASE AGAINST EDITOR PAPE QUASHED
Judge Wolfe Ruled There Was No Case Against the Water

Going to the Jmy-Defendant Failed to Appear in Low
er Court and Was Sentenced to Thirty Days in Jail.

for two days. Bronson. Lewis and
Hart. counsel for the accused, had put
in demurrer to the form Of the com
plant at the opening of the trial, but
the court this afternoon sustained the
demurrer and dismissed the charge
against the editor. The state can either
appeal from this ruling to the supreme
court or file another complaint against
the editor, but it Is probable that
neither proceeding will be taken, the
court having consistently ruled that
criticisms made with good intention
and from q sense of public duty were
privileged matter.
The charge made by the newspaper
against Senator Peas1ey was that after
being elected senator on a pledge that
he was not seeking an appointment in
the Waterbury city court he accepted
an appointment as prosecuting attor-
ney In the court. The appointment was
made by the Judges. who had been
appointed to Office by the legislature
of which Senator Peasley was a mem
Der and during the legislative session.
This resulted in the editors arrest.
In the preliminary hearing the &C
cused put in no defense and was SEN
fenced to 80 days in Jail, taking an
appeal Immediately and furnishing
bond.

Waterbury, June 9.-The criminal
libel case brought by Senator James
A Peasley of this city against Viii
liam ]. Pape, editor of the Water
bury Republican, ended abruptly this
afternoon without going to the jury.
Judge Isaac Wolfe of the New Haven
court of common pleas. sitting in the
Waterbury district court. asked the
jury to retire just as Prosecuting At
torney Leonard J. Nickerson was about
to open his argument for the state.
Judge Wolfe then told counsel for both
sides that In his opinion the state
could not make out a case against
the accused under the complaint which
had been fled under section 1924 of
the statutes, alleging the use of Of
fensive and abusive language in edi-
torials and charging that this was
breach of the peace.
Judge Wolfe stated that If the theory
of the state were correct no news
paper that exercised its duty and priv
iIege of comment and criticism upon
candidates for Office or upon the acts
Of public officials, would be safe In
the exercise of that duty. He was
reluctant to allow the case, although
completed, to go to the jury at all
