 Over pr. Gurdon S. Allyn.

Albert H. Lanphere, democrat, was declared first sclectman of the town of Waterford Friday morning following a recount of the ballots cast at the cleo ton this week, in the superior court in New London Friday morning. The recount showed that Danphere had BOP votes and Dr. GurdOn $. Allyn repub- lfcan, had 291.
 The recount was the result of a tie election for first seiect!nan as shown by the returns election day. When the votes were counted on election night the returns showed that Dr. Allyn, who was a candidate to succeed him self, and MT. Lanphere each had 2S4 votes. Dr. Allyn contested the count and applied to the superior court for a recount.
 Friday morning Attorney John C. Geary, counsel for MT. Lanphere, and Attorney Charles B. WhittIesey, ccun- sel for Dr. Allyn, appeared before Judge Lucien F. lBGrpee in the superior court and united in asking for a recount inn mediately, both attorneys agreeing to waive all techricalities. Ordinarily the petitioner for the recount would have been compelled to give the respondent six days notice and all legalities would have had to be complied with.
 Judge Bur2ee agreed to hold the re- count and set it for II o'clock, follow AlS luS SLIOtL Cd1GIlcdT S6SS1On the court. At the appointed time Judge Burpee ordered the ballot boxes opened and Town Clerk Charles A. Gallup broke the seals.

VOTE COMMISSIONERS WILL
 START NEXT WEEK.
Must Go to Border # Only One Man
 Remains.

Colonel William C. Cheney, of South Manchester, and Christopher L. Avery, of Groton. commissioners appointed by Governor Ho1comb to take the vote of the Connecticut troops in the service of the United States government, will not leave this state on Saturday to perform their duties, as they mad intended to do. They will leave some day next week.
 Tn the original list of soldiers en- including those at Nogales and at Tobyhanna, Penn. When the First infantry was ordered home this number was reduced to 1929 and now it has been further reduced to 400 by the return of the Second in fantry. These 400 consist of 100 men and officers of the First Con- necticut Field company. Signal troops, at NogaIes, and 300 in Bat tery E of Branford and Battery F. of Stamford It is understood that these batteries have been ordered from Pennsylvania to Ell Paso, Tex, which is about twelve hours ride from Nogales. The tickets have been completed an dthere will be no de- lay in having them ready in time for the commissioners when the lat ter are ready to start.
 The return of the Second Infantry will not require a change to be made in the manner of arranging the ballots in packages. While the home town of the military organizations, which remain on the frontier, might suggest the confining of the ballots to three congressional districts representing the First, Fourth and Fifth, there was the possibility that in the organiza- tion there might be men entitled to vote in other districts and to meet that possibility ballots for the five districts in the state will be given the commissioners. There will there fore be five packages as the law con templates.
 There is another possib bility which must be provided for in the sending of ballots and that is that the Second infantry may not have started home by the time the commissioners reach Noga1es.
 In that event the vote should be taken in Nogales, and 1t would be un- fortunate if the commissioners had not supply of ballots to enable the soldiers to exercise the franchise. It Is for that reason that no chances will be taken with a limited supply of bal lots.
 As a matter Of fact. the ordering of the troops home makes no difference with the arrangements, that the office Of the secretary of state is making to carry out the provisions of the act of the general assembly, except that the certain return of the First infan- try may reduce the number of ballots which will be given the commission CTS. So long as there is single Con- necticut soldier left on the border. to Fote. the machinery defined in the law will enable him to exercise his right of citizenship.

AMERICAN BASEBALL
 INDUSTRY THREATENED.
UnderseIing United States Concerns
 in Spite of Tariff.

Washington, Oct. 6-On the eve of the baseball worlds series, news came to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce today of a Japanese inva- sion of the American baseball manu- featuring business which already has captured Canada and has leaped over the protective tariff trenches into the American markets.
 In appealing to the government to repeal this invasion of a trade so pure- ly of American origin. a western base ball manufacturing firm asserted that Japanese manufacturers, despite a protective tariff of forty per cent, are selling five-cent baseballs in this coun- try for thirty cents a dozen.
 "The danger of the Japanese com petition," says the letter to the Bu- reau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce, lis that through the leverage of the five baseball, they event. uaIly will create a market for the bet ter grade of goods.'

A number of boarding houses which make a specially of table board have increased the price of their regular dinher'' from fifty to sixty cents.

rate the COW was moved to kick and the cows hoof struck the lantern. The | lantern fell over. The oil spilled on the floor and the city of Chicago was all wiped off the map.
 The city of Chicago has reason to
 remember that day in October and so 1t Is that Chicago has taken a mighty interest in the establishment of Ma tional Fire Prevention Day on the an- niversary of it's misfortune, that other
 municipalities may learn a lesson from it's experience.
 Last year the governors of 29 states gave forth proclamatfons calling upon
 their people to observe the day by cleaning up their home; by removing
 rubbish from dark corners; by seeing that they were prepared to meet fire if ti came. This year it is believed that practically every state will take part In this great movement
 A Programme For the Day. In his letters to the governors urg- ing them to impress upon the people the Reed of preventing the loss of life
 and property by fire, Frederick H. Elliott executive secretary of the Safety First Federation, laid down the following programmes
 On October 9th all public buildings, factories and homes, be thoroughly
 cleaned of rubbish accumulation. That
 all heating. lighting ana fire ex-
 tinguishing apparatus, be examined, and if found defective properly repair ed That fire drills be held in all the
 schools, factories an oother places where fire drills are necessary. That lectures be given in public schools, and that sermons be preached in the churches on the subject of fire pre-
 vention and that meetings be held to arouse public interest in the move ment.
 The latest estimate of the loss by
 fire in the United States and Canada
 in 1914 was $25O, 100000. Add to this
 the cost of maintaining fire depart ments and the total is S5O0,000, ,000.
 This amount is so stipenduous that the
 mind cannot conceive 1t. $500,000,0 900 would build a Panama canal. There is tax of $5 head on every man,
 woman and child in the United States.
 people pays $35 year for fire pro- lection.
 Ninety per cent. or all fires are due to carelessness or ignorance. It may be carelessness in erecting the build ing; it may be carelessness in hand In placing matches or in hanging cur tains close to gas Jec; 1t may be careiessness in neglectrng to put light
 ming rods, but it is carelessness and
 might be prevented.
 The idea of personal responsibility for fires is spreading rapidly through
 out the United States and it is cer- tain that within the next few years states will adopt laws holding to per- sonal responsibility the individual
 whose carelessness causes damage to
 I neighbours property.
 Chief Stanton to Demonstrate Cost.
 In order to give the rising genera
 ton some idea of the great cost at
 tached to the maintainance of fire de- partments Chief Stanton is planning 10 run the local apparatus out and around the vicinity of Union square
 Monday morning at S.30 o'clock, the time when the school children will be on the road to Broadway schoolhouse.
 It is hoped by so doing to impress them with the importance of fire pre- vention, not only on October 9th, but on every day of the year.
