POSTMASTER MATTER
 10 BE CONSIDERED
Congressman Lonergan De- sires Action By Democratic
 Town Committee.

It was announced this afternoon that Congressman Lonergan had made a request through State Com mitteeman Landers that the demo- cratic town committee be called to- gether and action taken on the ques- tion of the postmastership. If it is impossible for the members to agree on candidate then the con- gressman will make a selection him self during the latter part of the week.
 When the four candidates. w. F. Delaney. J. M. Brady. J. NJ. Halloran and John O'Neill met with MT. Lon erean in Hartford December 26, it was agreed that the campaign should close on January 8, but that the congressman would receive any mail bearing on the matter on the day following if it was mailed on the Sth. As he has made request that the committee be called together, it will be done, but otherwise Chairman Delaney would probably feel averse to calling a meeting on account of the agreement made in Hartford
 During the campaign the commit tee was pretty well split up, some Of the members taking the ground that they would remain neutral rather than make a selection from among men whom they all knew. It was said this afternoon that there was no change in the sentiment of the committee and that when meeting is held the members will agree to dis agree.
 Mir. Delaney said this afternoon that the committee would be called together tomorrow afternoon.

 Offered Germans Freedom.
 The mutinecrs offered freedom to all Germans in the detention camp who would join them. Only seven of the prisoners accepted this proposal, the others preferring to remain where they were.
 The half of the regiment which re- mained loyal soon organized itself and started out to attack the muti- neers. The troops were joined by Europeans of all ages, who offered their services as volunteers. In the running fight which followed four fifths of the revoting Indians are said to have been killed and it is believed that only about 100 now remain in the country surrounding Singapore.
