Mr. Fenton called up the office of the secretary of state in Hart ford and reported the matter. He was told that former attorney generals had ruled that if there was no such name on the voting list. and it was evidently a mistake. it was all right It is prob able. however, that Attorney General George E. Hinman of this city may be asked to pass upon the question. If his opinion is unfavorable there seems te be no other course than to have tie ballots reprinted.

Washington.-Two discoveries, both of vast importance to American indus tries and one regarded also as a price less military asset, were announced by Secretary Lane of the Interior De partment
 They are chemical processes. devol' oped after years of research by Dr. Walter F. Rittman, chemical engineer of the Bureau of Mines.
 One is expected to enable oil re- liners to increase their output of gaso- line by 200 per cent; the other makes possible the production from crude petroleum of tuluol and benzol, bases for dyes and high explosives, for which in the past the United States and the rest of the world had depended almost exclusively on Germany.
 These processes" said Secretary Lane, fare fraught with the utmost importance. The Standard Oil Com pany has had a big advantage over she independents in production of gas oline. having patented process ob- taining three times the amount Of gasoline from a given quantity of petroleum the independents now ob- tain. Independent producers as a whole have never been able even to approach these results.

 Although the indictments are based on the alleged ooaling and provision ing of German warships, Julian Hart ridge. assistant United States District Attorney, who has charge of the case, in an interview. said they charge noth- ing more than a violation of the Unit ed States code governing shipping and that if the charges be proven, the de- fendants would be just as guilty in time of peace as in wartime.
