Berlin News LONG ISLAND SHOP CONINC 10 BERLIN? 
 R0Inored FiEepY0of Door Nanufac- tory Vii Occupy Vacant Buildings. GET FIGURES ON WATEa QUESTION
Sclcctman Gibney and Others Asccr- ', taining Number Who Would Bcnc-
 Mains.-Christian Endcayor Day.

In a telephone conversation with a Herald representative yesterday after noon, director of the Peck, Stowe and Wilcox company of Southington intimated that the Long Island City CFireproof Door MHnu1actory which made a proposition to certain Ken sington citizens about a month ago, is now considering the matter of moving into one of the vacant factory build ings in East Berlin.
 From the fact that New York capi- tslists have heen seen about the building, and inspecting the old dam in the Mattabessett river during the past week, it would seem that there is some truth to the persistent rum ors that the wheels Of industry will again be revolving in the peaceful village before many weeks.
 For some reason. those interested are extremely reticent about the mat ter and decline to discuss it. The mana ging director of the Peck, Stowe and Wilcox company, claims that his firm has not leased the build ings yet, but admits that he has had a number Of inquiries about them.
 When the New York capitalists, representing the Long Island City concern preached their proposition at a.conference at the Berlin Savings bank it was suggested that they To- cate in East Berlin They did not take favorably to the plan at that time but seem to, have re-cons idered, as they have been seen in town since.
 Their proposition, as outlined to President William Bulkeley of the bank, Secretary and Treasurer Francis Deming, RepresentatiN Roger M. Griswold and others, provided for the erection by local capital of a factory building of at least 3o,o00 square feet upon the Robins estate opposite the Iaerlin passenger station. They would then lease the structure, which was not to be more than one story high.
 As a structure Of this kind would cost in the neighhorhood of S50.000, there was but little likelihood of any party or parties accepting the prop he conference dropped the matter at once.
 AS might be expected as a result of the capitalists great anxiety to move out this way to avoid labor difficult ties in Long Island City, they did not give up. Berlin seemed to strike them about right, and runors have it that ls is here that they will locate even- taally.
 Some Philadelphia men were look ing over the lot between the old Hook and Eye shop and George Ventres' Blacksmith shop yesterday afternoon.

The foregoing statement IS at Vari- made in Paris and Tokio in December to the effect that the members of the crew of the Emden who made their escape had been captured. When the spectacular career of the Emden was brought to a close by the Australian cruiser Sydney, which ran her down in the Indian ocean and destroyed her on November 10, 40 mem bers of the crew under command of Lieutenant von Muecke escaped. They were members of a landing party which was on Cocos island at the time of the battle.
 They communicated schooner the Aysha, loaded her with provisions and sailed away. A dispatch from Manila subsequently, said that these men had captured a collier on which they mounted two Maxim guns evil dently brought with them from the Emden and had begun raiding com merce in the Pacific.
 On December IS, the French min istry of marine announced that the British auxiliary cruiser Empress of Japan had captured the collier.

Getting Figures.

Getting Figures.
 Selectman William H. Gibney and members of the New Britain water board are taking a canvass of the dis trict of kensington to ascertain the CTS who connect with the water sys- tenn if the New Britain water mains were extended from Towers corner where they terminate, into the village of kensingtOn
 Each of the canvassers is taking different section and, before the next meeting of the charter revision com mittee, which is to be held on Tues day evening of next week, they will hold brief session to prepare their figures It is expected that definite action of some kind will be taken Tuesday night.
 Solectman Gibney was seen to en- ter Representative Roger M Gris- Wold's office in kensington last eve ming and a rumor was clrcu- lated to the effect that meeting on the water question was being held there The doctor denied the rumor this morning.
 Although the officials of the Amer ican Paper Goods company, who are prominent in the kcnsington Water Power company, have not committed themselves regarding the extension of the New Britain water system, it is thought that they will raise no ob- jeCtions. 1t will be remembered that the legislature granted this company t charter to supply l\cnsington with water a few years ago. It is believed that tho paper goods factory will be satisfied to retain control of the streams in kensington. Whether or not the firm, will connect with the water mains is q matter of conjecture, but, as it has plenty of water of it's own, it is improbable.
 The water question is the topic of much of the conversation about the district nOwaday and the ma ajority of the residents arc heartily in favor of the extension of the New Britain sys- tenn. Practically ali those who have been asked if they would connect with the water mains have answered in the affirmative.
 Illness Prevents Presentation.
 Owing to the illness of the two Tur- ner boys who are suffering with pneu- mOnia, the teachers of the South school have found il necessary to cancel second presentation of their little sketch, which to be given in the Town hall next week. The un- fortunate boys took q prominent part in the playlet when it was staged last week. Their condition was reported to be favorable today.

Carleton Hazen will deliver a sermon on ''YOUth and Re- ligion,' and at the Berlin church Rev. Saruol A. l'iske will speak on "Neutrality in Religion

ing measures passed during the 1915 legislative session of California are
the so-caned "non-partisan" bills.
Comprising four in number, these. bills have for their purpose the
making of all state offices, from governor down to members OF the legs
lature, non-partsan and the elimination of parisanship in state elections
Most important OF the four is the non-parhsan direct primary law
which regulates the method and manner of holding primary elections.
Under this law the names of all candidates will appear O the ballot
without any party designation whatever. The two candidates for any f.
flee who received the highest number Of votes at the primary will be
nominated and their names appear O the general election ballot Should
any candidate receive a majority v all other candidates for the same
office, his name alone will appear on the ballot at the following general
election.
States political conventions and political committees, both state and
county are eliminated under the new law.
Parisanship is retained to a certain eNtent in the nomination and
election of congressional officers in that they are nominated by their
respective parties. The ley law provides, however, that any person
who is a candidate for congressional office may secure the nomination
of Tor than n political party
Under the provision OF the non-partisan direct primary law, voters
will be required to register non-partsan to be eligible to participate in
a primary election. AT the time of entering the voting booth at the polls,
a voter desiring to vote for a congressional office candidate of any poll
teal party must announce his party utilization and then be will be entitled
to a ballot containing that partys candidates for congressional office.
Provision is made in the bill for the organization of congressional
party conventions by the various political parties for the purpose of pro-
mitigating party platforms as to national issues only.
The non-partsan bills have been referendumed and will be submit
ted to a vote OF the people al the special election called by the governor
for the 10Th of next October.
