COUNTY BOARD GIVES. LICENSES
 TO TWO CLUBS Young Emmet and Gaelic Athletic Clubs Found Legi- timate Organizations. NOT CLASSED WITH MUSHROOM" CLUBS License To Be Issued To Theatrical Comedy Club
 Also.

After delay of over month, the county commissioners this morning granted liquor licenses to the Young Emmet club. located insthe> PoH build ing in Main street, and the Bridge port Gaelic Athletic club, of 1o5 Mid dle street. These are the first of the organizations included in the blanket rem onstrance filed by local cIergymen to obtain licenses.
 After careful Investigation the com missfoners found that these clubs were bonahde organizations and were not formed solely for the purpose of sell ing liquor. It was found that the money obtained from the sale of liquor to members did not go to individuals but was put into the club treasury Both clubs have been organized here for many years so were not elassed with the fsInushroom,, clubs, formed recently to evade the law.
 The. commissioners visited the prenlses of the Young Emmet and Gaelic clubs and also inspected the books. Everything was found to be in Agood order. At the time the re- monstrance was filed against Il club applications the remonstrants were satisfied that the Young Emmet and Gaelic clubs were bona f1de organiza- tions, but thought there ought to be some improvement in their method of keeping records of receipts and ex- penditures.
 Applications of the Royal Social club, the Golden Inn and the Elm Country club have already been de- nied following hearings on the re- monstrances. A number of app1ica. tions are still pending. The com n1fssioners expect to hold hearings on these within the next few weeks. At torney. George F. Mara appeared for the Gaelic, club in the recent pro- ceedings and Attorney Thomas M.Cu1- lfnan represented the Young Emmet club.
 It was also announced today that the remonstrance against the .Theatri- cal Comedy club, 98s Main street, had been withdrawn. It is expected that a license will be granted to this club in a. short time.

DELAY HEARING
 ON HILLS SEAT
 IN WASHINGTON
Congressman Absent, Con ference is Postponed
 Cummings Talks.
Special to The Farmer.)

Washington, April 25-The final hearing on the contest brought 1by for ner Congressman Jeremiah Donovan to unseat B. J. Hill as congressman from the Fourth Connecticut district will be held about the middle of May. It was originally planned to have the hearing begin tomorrow, but several members of the House elections com mittee are absent.
 States Attorney Homer s. Gum rnings, who is counsel for MT. Dono- van in the action,N at a conference with Chairman Stephens of the com 1nittee yesterday arranged for the postponenent of the hearing. Mr. Cummings will confer with Judge w. F. Henney, of Hartfordd, counsel for MT. Hill. as to the exact date. Mr. Cummings stopped here on his way home from a months vacation in North Carolina He is confident that President Wilson will be returned to office at the coming election. FI9 thus expressed Himself in an interview Of the presidential election as a nationwide proposition have no doubt-it will undoubtedly be Wood row Wilson for four more years. The people of the country are with him, and the people, not politicians, elect presidents. Of the presidents elec- tion, I say, I have no doubt, but one must view with frankness the ssitua- ton that confronts us. It is not go- ing to be wa1kover to elect the pres ident.
 "Mr. Wilson is not going to run away with the election as he did in 1912. There are many states, no doubt, that gave their electoral vote to the president in 1912, that will not do so in 1916. New England, for instance, was almost solid for Wilson. Then the Republicans were split to pieces. Now l they are practically reunited.
 l Events move with such celerity in these days that-one cannot predict to- day what will happen tomorrow have the utmost faith, however, that I the people of the United States are Ibehind the president. They wanted peace and prosperity, and he gave 1t to them They will not be quick to throw it away.
 ''I know it is customary for the po- I litfca1 party that is out to make the issues, but 1t will not do it this year.
 The presidents policies will be the issue in the coming campaign He has made them the issues, and I be- lfeve the people will endorse them''

 Lowestoft is on the North Sea coast about 100 miles to the northeast of London, almost opposite the Hague.
 On previous occasions, during the war attacks on the English coast have been made by German warships. The most important raid was made on Dec. 16, 1914. The towns of Scarborough, Whitby and Hartlepool, about 150> miles north of Lowestoft, were bonn barded and about 130 persons were killed. Aided by fog,-the German ves- sells escaped. .5k
 On June 2A, 1915, a further attack of the kind was made but the German squadron was Fnet off Doggerbank by the British battle cruiser squadron un- der Vice-Adm1raI Sir David Batty. On being sighted, the Germans made for home at high speed. Their rear ship, the B1uecher, was sunk, and two other cruisers were set on fire and damaged severely.

 As to what kind of pavement was to be lafd,'' said Alderman EIarrfgan, T understand that when the subject was first broached and a bond issue proposed, you said it would be decided later"
 Do you still doubt my word?'' his honor replied, with bIandness and gravity.
 The protesting aldermen pointed to many objections, to such an expendi- ture, as that strets paved two years were already in poor shape; that it was proposed to lay the pavements on streets where were almost no houses.
 Argument was entirely wasted. The administration during many months had bent it's energies to getting this half million, they were there to spend it with the greatest speed possible. This they did. And when the expendi- ture was authorized, Mayor Wilson lost no time putting his signature upon the resolution-

The number of men in the expedition was not disclosed although the Rus sian contingent was described a strong force" It was intimated in a despatch from Marseilles that possibly a quarter of a million men would be sent this spring from Russia to France as Russia has more men under training than she can used on her fighting lines and it is easier to equip them in France than in Russia.

Further Report From Ger ard on Berlin's Reply is
 Awaited.

Washington, April 25-A report from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin outlining the results of his long con- ference with Dr. won Bethmann-Holl- veg, the German chancellor, over the American note, was expected at the state department today.
 It was announced that the ambaSsa- dor would shed further light on the attitude of the German government regarding America's demands in the submarine controversy
 Mr. Gerard is understood to have already reported that strong political influences are at work in Germany to prevent a rupture between the two nations Labor leaders and Socialists were represented as being particularly adverse to a severance of diplomatic relations. The ambassador is al- ready reported to have said there IS already strong indication of Ger rnany's to make some concessions. Whether these concessions will be broad enough to meet the American demands is prob1ematica1.
 The fact that the ambassador and the chancellor conferred at some length was pointed to here as hope full sign. If Germany was not dis posed to meet the demands of the United States it was believed that there would have bene no lengthy dis cuSSion.

With the Solid Clans.

One essential fact about northern
Albanian clans is that they have re-
NAMED exactly as they were when the
Norman Crusaders landed on their
coasts from southern Italy and rode
along the ruinous Roman road that
still leads to Constantinople.
Fheir SHOWS and their poverty, their
strange tongue and their habits of
rapine, have been the amber that has
preserved the prehistoric fly.
If novelist or historian wished
to plunge himself into the atmosphere
OF the Dark Ages at some period after
the barbarian invasion and before the
full recovery of the power of the
church he could not do better than
spend year among the Mirdites or
the MaIessori.
They profess Just such a nominal
Catholicism as reigned in Europe be-
fore the superstitions of the primitive
north had been partly dissolved in
baptismal water.
They hold their faith with the same
partisan intensity which made AriaRs
or Catholics Of Goths and Vandals be-
fore they were Christians.
The one social fact in their lives is
the solidarity of the clan.

HEAD BRUISED, PIANO RUINED
instrument Falls Distance of Thirty
Feet and Splinters on Man, Whose
Injuries Are Trivial.

Only slightly dazed when he dropped
30 feet with a grand piano, which fell
on top Of him and was badly damaged,
Morris Gross, twenty-eight years old,
colored was held for further exami-
nation in the West Philadelphia
Homeopathic hospital, where the
physicians were puzzled at being able
to find merely few scalp decorations
instead of the fractured skull they
expected.
Gross is a piano mover. At Sixty
second and Arch streets he was one
of several moving men who had been
hired to hoist a piano to the top floor
of four-story building. Gross had
the job of riding the piano to keep
it from swaying into contact with the
brick wall. Between the second and
third floors the rope broke, and Gross
and the piano were dropped to the
sidewalk. A corner of the piano landed
squarely on the mans head and shoul-
ders. He was taken to the hospital,
and short time later appeared none
the worse for his accident, which he
says is his fourth. The cement side
walk was cracked in several places.
