MAINL ANDER TRIES
TO CHEATtWEATHER
AND SCORES FAIL URE

NEW YORK, N. vt Hampton
Bliss, an insurance adjuster of Jack.
sonyiile, Fla, tried to even up things
with the weatherman in his apart
ments at the Hotel Majestic recently,
when he climbed into his bathtub and
and turned on the cold water.
The last he remembers he was
dreaming of chasing polar bears
around the North Pole with daggers
made of icicles. He felt the ice be-
meath his feet give away and he be-
gan to struggle for his life.
What had happened was told later
in the hotel office by Mr.. Bliss. Short
ly after turning on the cold water he
had gone to sleep. The water over
flowed. It flooded the bathroom and
swept out into his bedroom and then
his head slipped from the edge Of the
tub and he awakened under water.
He fought heroically, bruising both
arms and scraping some skin off OF
each hip, and when he got his head
above water he gave a shrek for help
that aroused everybody on his floor.

 Or the number of applications men tloneG, POP were filed by women. ITO by men. It will be seen from this that the campaign to elect woman mem per of the town school committee is not the only thing that enters into the surprising increase in the mum Der or applications. For years past the number of men who have applied for registration as voters in any one year mas not usually exceeded 100, and at times has been as low as 70 or SC,

PARLIAMENT
 SCENE OF EXCITEMENT
When Leaders of the Opposition At-
 tackled Premier Tisza.

Budapest, Sept. IA, via Berlin and London, Sept. 15. S.27 p. m.-The Hun garian parliament today was again the scene of great excitement. Count AL bert Apponyi, Stephan Rakovsky and other leaders of the opposition attack ed Premier Tisza and the latter de- tended himself by criticising them.
 Premier Tisza inserted apersonaI is sue into the discussion when he said he regretted his 'foolishness" in rec ommending to Baron Burian, the Aus tro- Hungarian foreign minister, that he confidently discuss the state of af- fairs with Rakovsky. The premier called the criticisms of the army lead - ership by the head of the people s party well poisoning" Count Ap- ponyi declared that three chief ques- tions needing discussion were the for eigr policies, the military situation and the food supply. The harmony and unity needed for considering these three problems, Count Apponyi said, were endangered by the introduction of other questions such as Premier TisZa's attempt to bind Hungary eco nomically to it's allies for a long period.

1s0 MEN, f21 WOMEN
Desire to Be Made Voters :n Advance
 of Town Election

Registrars Harmon G. Carver and George Potvin on Friday held meet Ing and made a compilation of the applications that were received dur ing Thursday from persons who de- sire to be made voters in time for the coming annual town meeting.
 The figures as given out Friday af- ternoon show that 1S0 men filed ap- plications to be made voters and that l2l applications were received from women. This is an unusually large number of applications, much larger than has been the rule in years in the past.
 From the list of men voters as con- piled for use at last years elections the registrars erased 76 names and restored 10. this being in accordance with the yearly practice of revising the lists, names being removed for reasons legally sufficient, such as re- moVals from the town, deaths etc. and restored names where restora- lions were warranted. Five names were erased from the list of woman voters, as compiled for last year, and B names restored to this list
 Indications are that the list of vot- CTS as revised for the coming town election will show the largest number of voters in Putnam in the history of the town.

A. Phillips of St. Paul, Minn., in an address before the American Life convention here today
 "The losses suffered by companies On Women's lives are greater during the first five years of the existence of policies" Phillips said, 'and the risks are greatest on young married women: among spinsters the mortality rate is lower than that of men, among mar ried women it is higher, while widows and divorcees die at about the same rate as men,
 According to Phillips, as women grow older they become more desira- ble risks.

Thomas Kelley, for six weeks past g loomf1xer, in the employ of the French River Textile company at Me- chanicsville, turned in a little sensa-
 ton Friday morning, when he at
 tempted to pass a check that he had endorsed at the First National bank and then turned and ran out of the bank when the teller questioned the
 authenticity of the signature. Kelley speeded up Main street into Union square and down into the subway, where he was captured and taken back to the bank. After a conference with bank off, cials and police officers he was taken to the police station and locked up. This morning he will be presented before Judge L. H. Fuller. in the city court. to answer to a charge of forg- cry.
 Captain Joseph A, Ryan had talk with the prisoner at the station and heard from him the story of the check. Kelley went into the office of the mill company at Mechanicsville Friday morning and there saw a letter ad- dressed to Robert Blanding, foreman in charge of the powerhouse con- struction work. Kelley said to Cap- tain Ryan that he took the letter and upon tearing it open found a check tor $45, payable to Banding.
 Kelley came to Putnam with the check, went to the First National bank and endorsed it. Teller Alvin s. Martin recognized. it is alleged, that the signature Robert Blanding'' was not genuine and upon calling kelley's attention to this fact Kelly turned and ran. The chase followed.
 Kelley told Captain Ryan at the po- lice station that up to about a year ago he was a very earnest and hard working citizen and that he held one place in Maynard, Mass for a period of sixteen years. In October of last year his wife died and since then he has lost much of his courage. He came here from Franklin, Mass.
