sideration of the question for which the meeting was called. The chair man stood corrected and the discus sion was resumed.
 John E. Lamb, F. l.. BenZon and E. H. Hills were among those who favored making the experiment. Peter Brock declared that this great ma chine is not always correct and he cited the trouble in Hartford during the Cheney-Lawler mayorality con- test as proof of his contention.
 Questions as to what charges would probably be made for the rental of machines for a single day, should the town later decide against purchasing them, were answered by R. G. Hart, who was positive that the manufac- turers would willingly allow the ex- pertinent without cost to the town
 Selectman Johnson believed that two machines would be necessary and he thought that the expense of buy ing them would probably be about $1,4OO. Peter Brock suggested that something be done regarding a five cent fare to Bristol, but his remarks were allowed to pass unnoticed.
 The resolution was finally passed with the opposition offering a few very weak "noes' when the chairman called for a vote.

Town to Discard Australian
 Ballot As An Experiment

Opposition Stricken Dumb When Vote is Called FOr-Meet on November 20 to Take Action Regarding Pur- chase of Machines-Other Items.

Opponents of the plan of installing voting machines were apparently struck speeches. for the moment, al- though there seemed to be a number of them in the hall last evening, and as a result Plainville is to throw the Australian ballot into the discard at the election next month while it experiments with the mechanical de- vices which automatically register the wishes of the voters. Postmaster P. J. Prior's resolution that the select chimes for use at the state election and that the voters assemble again on November 20 to consider the ad- visibility of purchasing the appac- atus if it is proven to be satisfactory was passed by the special town meet ing, few voices having been raised 11l protest when the vote was taken.
 SaloOnkeepers were expected 70 play an important part in the voting machine question and while they ap- peared to be we'll represented they offered but little resistance and little difficulty was experienced in getting the resolution through. The meeting of course did not adopt the machine permanently, a move which the ad- vocates of this system of voting had promised to make, simply favoring making the experiment and the real contest may develop after they have been tried Out
 Except to authorize the voting ma chine experiment and to adopt a reso- lution permitting the selectmen to use a part of the highway appropria- tion for the construction of sidewalks, last nights meetings accomplished but little. Talk of fireworks over Sunday court sessions and police matters which had been freely given during the past few days by men who took a prominent part in the session proved to be but a gaseous conver- sation bubble and found no place at the session, although it will prob ably be discussed as usual on the curbstones, the men responsible for it remaining silent when they attend meetings where their opinions on such questions are more in order.
 There Was a fair attendance at the meetings but the voters for the most part were apathetic and the predicted debates and exchanges of verbal com pllments did not materialize. Stan ley GWlllim served as chairman of both sessions and R. c. Usher acted as clerk.
 The adjourned annual meeting. which is invariably a '1ong-winded" affair, lasted but thirty minutes and the matters contained in the call were either disposed of quickly or put over to some future date.
 The reports of the town officers were accepted favorable action was taken on the plan which it is hoped will encourage the building of per manent sidewalks, the tax rate ques- tion was put over until Monday eve- ming, January and an effort to make the salary of the selectman $1,OOO d year was declared out of order

STRIKE CLOSES PLANT
Five Hundred Thrown Out of Work When Thirty Molders Quit for An- other Increase in Wages.

Bristol, Oct 10.-The entire plant of the Sessions Foundry company, em- ploying about 500, was closed today as result of a strike of about thirty employees in the molding room. The men involved are about one-third of the brass moulders and are on piece work No specific demands were made by the men, according to com pany officials, and efforts to get them to delay action pending discussion of the demands, they say, were unsuc- cessful.
 About a year ago the men were given increases ranging from ten to twenty per cent and last April an ad- ditional ten peer cent. raise was made.

No Not a Code Message, Merely an Anpreciation of Worlds Series News Service of Associated Press.

New York, Oct. 10.-An unprece- denied feature in the telegraph1c transmission of news was accom- Dished by the traffic department of The Associated Press yesterday when one operator sitting in the stand at Braves field in Boston was enabled to flash over eight thousand miles Of leased wire the story of how the Bos- tons beat the Brooklyns in the second game of the worlds baseball series.
 Taking dictation from the Asso- ciated Press representatives, who were covering the game, this oper- ator, J. A. Bates, through the tele- graphic connections arranged for the service, was able to send the story to 300 Associated Press offices and newspapers in the United States tick for tick into each office simultane- ously-as far west as San Francisco, as far north as Duluth, and as far south as New Orleans.
 The operator sent the story over this 1S,Oo0 mile circuit continuously for two and one half hours, and at the instant McNally crossed the home plate wi ththe winning run in the fourteenth inning, the flash Boston wins had gone the length and breadth of the country
 Heretofore in reporting worlds se- ries, the news had been relayed at

Chicago and other points. The ex- pertinent today of making a complete rans-continental connection was re- ported entirely successful.
 Five thousand additional miles of circuit received the story through re- lays but this was bl reason of news conditions. The 1S,00O mile cir cult, however, stands as a record in telegraphic history.
