DISSAFFEcTIQN IN
 REPUBLICAN RANKS IN SEVERAL WARDS
Contests in Three Districts Promised For Primaries
 Next Week.

Despite the assertion Of J. Alex H. Robinson, Republican town chairman and city clerk, that all is harmonious in the Republican ranks it is known that there is disaffection in the ranks and that there will be contests in at least three districts when the primar- ies are held "Wednesday night of next week, October 6.
 The announcement of the date of the primaries was made today. The hours will be>fron 6 to g o'clock.
 In the eighth district the 1iyeliest contest is likely to take place. There a drive is being made to remove James Gilmore as district chairman and also to put tip a delegate ticket that will favor Alderman Malcolm F. MacFay- den for mayor. The movement is be- ing fostered loy Francis Rooney and George D. Dell.
 Rooney was promised a place on the police force by the present ad- ministfation but did not get the place. George F.. Dell was formerly engineer at the jail and was c1assed as a Democrat. He turned Repub- lican but lost his job at the jail when the regime of Sheriff Pease began. Gilmore, who wants to remain as chairman has a very ardent supporter in George Groshans, who is employ4 ed at the city yard and ~Grosshans will undoubtedly head the adninis- tration ticket in the district.
 In. the Fifth district there is trou- T ble also. Alderman BIakeslee seeks a, renomination and is supported by Frank Ba1fards county commissioner, and district chairman. Edward Nay Tor and others will put an opposition ticket in the field and it will not be a King ticket or a Wilson ticket. There is little topposition to a re- nomination for Alderman BlakesIee, but there is much opposition to the return of Commissioner Ballard as district chairman.
 Alderman MacFayden is not in too high favor with the, administration because it is known that his ambitions for thes nayoFalty nomination and be- cause he is said to have vouchsa fed the opinion that the present Republi- can officials cannot be reelected.
 There is likely also to be opposi- ton to Charles Kingston in the Sixth district.
 At a meeting of Sixth district workers held last night it is said that Thomas Cunningham was endorsed for chairman instead of Charles Kingston and that Town Chairman Robinson will be asked to, name him.

 FIRM FIRED" 3
Machinists and Helpers Walk Out Today Because
 Workers Lose Jobs.

More than 125 machinists and helpers walked out this morning at the Max Ans Machine Co. in Fairfield because three men who had been active in ob- taining the eight hour day there. were discharged.
 The last of the three was fred Saturday. The other employees became indignant and decided to discourage the practice. At a, mass meeting held last night. in Machinists hall, they voted to send a committee to call on the management this morning and if redress were not granted, to walk out at 10 o'clock.
 The committee asked this morning for the reinstatement of the men, showing that they were good workmen and that their only <offense was in be- ing active to obtain better working conditions. The officials did not con- cede the point, so the entire machine rooms force quit in body.
 The Max AIns Go. granted the, eight hour day and better wages several weeks ago. and the men who were most active suffered last week.

 \ To Washington Of His Recall
State Department Expects Him to Sail For Home on Oct. 5-Now at Summer Embassy at Lenox.

Washington, Sept. 28.4Dr. Con stantin Theodor Dumba, of Austria Hungary, telegraphed the state de- partment today from the summer em- bassy at Lenox, Mass, that he had been ordered. home by his government and asked that a safe conduct be ar ranged for him.
 In the light of advices~ from Am bassador Penfield at Vienna, that the Austrian foreign office had given in- Normal assurances that pr. Dumba would be recalled, as asked by Pres ldent Wilson, that state department construed pr. Dumba's despatch of today as a notification that official action has been taken by Vienna and will arrange for his safe conduct with out awaiting formal notice from the Austrian foreign office.
 This action is considered by the Am erican government as closing the in- cident, pr. Dumba made himself un- acceptable to this government when he attempted to transmit through James F. J. Archibald, an American newspaper correspondent, a report to his foreign office which disclosed his participation in plans to cripple Am erican munitions plants Aby strikes. British agents found the proofs on Archibald at Falmouth, The Ameri- can government cancelled Archibald s passports and demanded the recall of the ambassador.
 A proposal that Dr. Dumba quit the United States on leave of absence was unsatisfactory and President Wilson insisted on his recall.
 In his conversation with Ambassa- dor Penfield, the Austrian foreign minister is understood to have told MT. Penfie1d that pr. Dumba's re- call was matter Of course, final. The stae department understands Dr. DuInba will sail Oct. 5.

HUNT HELPS MAKE SOLDIERS
Preparedness for Military Emergency
Is Undoubtedly Aided by Out
door Sport.

While not every one of the three
hundred thousand citizens who Sc
cured hunters licenses last year
could qualify as a sharpshooter, Doc
tor Kalbfus, secretary of the state
game commission, is not wholly mag
NATIVE in suggesting that in the main
tenance of its game preserves and il
the cement of the hunt the
state is contributing to its prepared
ness for military emergency, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin.
An essential of a soldiers equip
ment is to know how to shoot, and
training for craftsmanship in the pur-
suit Of bird or rabbit is obviously of
value. But even more essential is
the soldiers health, the ruggedness
of constitution and physical condition
to stand the stress of march and work,
and outdoor training is the sine qua
non. Anything that the state does
to get it's young men out of doors and
to interest them in heaIth-building
muscle-strengtheniI nerve-resting
sport, goes far in preparing efficient
soldiers, and to this physical condition
there is added the practical training
in the handling of gun and rifle.

CRIDIR0N CHANGES
MEET APPROVAL
Present Code Has Eliminated
Nearly All Bad Features.
KICKERS' VALUE INCREASED

Penalty Has Resulted In More Action.

Run Back Punts-lnterest In Football
Game Greater Than Ever-Ten Yard
Penalty Has Resulted In More Action.
Following the changing of the rule in
regard to forward pass being thrown
out of bounds, the value of a kicker in
football has increased 80 per cent. I'm
der the old rule the ball went to the
opponents at the point where it crossed
the side line. Coaches took advantage
of this by developing players who
could throw the ball thirty and forty
yards down the field with the accuracy
Of a baseball. When a team was forti
fed with such players punting was
rarely resorted to, and on the fourth
down the ball was thrown down the
field and out of bounds.
Such tactics, of course, did not give
players Of the defending team a chance
to run the ball back, and so much ad-
vantage was taken Of the rule that the
committee at its meeting last yeaI
changed the code so that a penalty of
a down is inflicted and the ball put in
play at the point of the previous down.
If the ball is thrown out of bounds on
the fourth down the oval is brought
back to the point Of the previous down
and given to the opposing eleven.
Can Now Run Back Punts.
1t readily can be seen that the
change was for the best and increased
the value of a kicker and went further
to equalize the offense and defense
than any alteration in the code in the
last three years. A team on defense
now has a chance to run the ball back
and lessen the distance of the punts.
The change also benefits the kicking
side in that it can recover the ball in
case of a tumble by one of the catching
side. AS result the players who are
stationed in the back field must catch
the ball. There also is more action and
interest in the plays by having the ball
in the playing field at all times.
The effect of the change is shown by
the numbers of kickers developed at
various colleges this year. Most OF
these players are punters and field goal
kickers, and a number of important
games already have been won by the
air line route. A player who is punter

Notified Teeth is Newest Disease.

Announcement of data on recently
discovered unnamed disease of the
teeth, affecting only people in certain
localities, was made today by Dr. Fred
erick S. Mckay of Colorado Springs,
Colo, before the Panama-Pacific dental
congress. Doctor Mckay read a paper
written in collaboration with Dr. G. V.
Black of Chicago, who died recently,
and based on their joint research.
The disease, which was described as
a disfguring, notified or streaked dis
coloration Of teeth, was said to be cpl
de1aic in several localities in the
Rocky mountain region, in large area
in the Southwest, and here and there
in other places, including a small dis.
trict near Naples, Italy.
