 missioners' Ruling.

The first liquor dealers to get li- ,censes within the hitherto restricted Barnum avenue territory are Jacob Hausman and Pax Bros, who were granted transfers this morning by the county commissioners. Until the pres ent time there have been no saloons on Barhum avenue between Seavtew avenue and the Stratford line.
 Many residents and manufacturers have been anxious to keep saloons out and liquor dealers. realizing the rich profits to be made, nave been fight ing hard to get a foothold there. Hausman formerly conducted place in Willard street. His transfer gives him permission to locate at 17SO aBr- mum avenue. Pax Bros are given the right to transfer from North Wash ington avenue to Barnum avenue and Elizabeth street.
 There were big remonstrances against both Applications. The Rem ington Arms and the Remington-U. M. c. Co. opposed the transfers on the ground that the establishment of new saloons would prove harmful to em- ployes. The Whiting Manufacturing Co. and numerous other taxpayers op- posed the applications too. It is prob able the renonstrants will appeal the cases to the superior court

 C0MMENDATI0N , FOR CONGRESS
Hopes For Completion of Strike Legislation at
 Next Session.

5 Washington, Sept. S.-Following the adjournment of Congress today. Pres ident Wilson issued the following statement:
 "A commendable session of Con- gress has just closed, full, as all TO- cent sessions of Congress have been, of helpful and humane Legislation ws ;ch constituted contributions of capital impostancei to the defense, the economic progress, and wholesome life of the country.
 "It is to be regretted that the ses- sion could not have continued long enough to complete the program re- gently projected with regard to the accommodation of labor disputes be- tween the railways and the ehployes. but it was not feasible in the circum- stances to continue the session any longer and therefore only the most immediately pressing parts of the program could be completed
 ''The rest. it is agreed, has merely been postponed until it. can be more maturely deliberated and perfected. l have every reason to believe that it is the purpose of the leaders of the two houses irnmdiately upn the reassem- bling of Congress to undertake his ad- ditional legislation It is evident that the country should be relieved of tho anxiety which must have been created by recent events with regard to the future accommodation of such dis putes'

 "I have $500 strike-breakers here" ]" said Waddell, land 1,7OO of these are now working. They are more than enough to control the situation"
 Subway and elevated trains ran last night and this morning as usual.

A horse was so badly injured that 1t had to be shot, and an Automobile was damaged practically beyond re- pair after 2 o'clock this morning At North Main street and Stoehr place, near Bethany chapel. when the auto- mobile crashed into the horse and then into the, milk wagon it was drawing. In the city court today, the driver of the machine was fined $35 and costs for reckless driving. A civil suit will also result as the owner of the horse said today that he would seek recompense for its loss.
 The automobile driver was Howard Dflliston of L0ng>HilI, who was on his way home while the milk wagon 1was owned and driven by Theodore A yincellette, a milk dealer and darmer of the north end neaf the Trumbull line.

Wilder, 1t appears that Wheel 7ette was driving his wagon to this city and was accompanied by boy who assists on the milk route. As they passed Jewett avenue, Vincellette said that he noticed the automobile about 200 feet away. being driven di- rect1y for his wagon. Pulling the horse close to the right hand curb he took the lantern from the floor of the wagon and waved it in the road to warn the automobile driver of his Hanger
 But almost in an instant, MT. Vim cellette claims. the automobile struck the horse and the wagon and caroom- ed over to the other side of the road. The horses left fore leg was broken 1n two places. the wagon was badly emashed, and the milk spilled about while the automobile was wrecked. Nincellette and the boy jumped from the wagon as the machine fstruck the horse and escaped serious injury.
 DilIiston claimed in court that he was not driving faster than 20 miles an hour at the time though Wheel. 1ette alleges he was going much faster. Another young man was in the car with Dil1fston.
 City Sheriff Alexander Howell ar rested Di1liston on the charge of peckiess driving, The right hand side of the road at the spot where the ac- cident occurred is not used for driv- Ing but Sheriff Howell testified he had seen khree machines pass eacl other on the left side of the stree. and Dilliston had plenty of room.

REFUSE TO TAKE W|LKES-BARRE'S
 MAYOR IN UNION
Slovaks Have First Serious Dispute in National Con
 vention in This City: FEELING DUE TO
 STRIFE ABROAD
Anti German Sentiment is Blamed in Some Quarters
 For Failure to Qualify.

Refusal of the Catholic Slovak Union to act favorably upon the ad- mission for membership of the mayor of Wilkes-Barre. at heated session late yesterday brought into the big national convention here the first in dication of animosity due to the strife in Eugope.
 Because it was charged that the mayor, though of SlavoniEn birth, is of German ancestry, there were many adverse votes, due, according to re- ports about the convention hall, tOthe fact that there was pronounced anti German sentiment in certain of the delegates.
 The suggestion of his name for membership yesterday aroused a dis pute which brought forth acrimon- ious Statements on the part of mem- bers and threatened to sadly divide the assemblage. Delegates are re- ported to have arisen upon the floor to state that though of Siavonion birth, Mayor Kosek had German ante cedents. His champions asserted that other memb bers in the hall were also of German descent and that German Influence should be eradicated from the union. A turbulent session was ended by the vote which debarred Mayor Kosek from electiop.%
 The battle continued throughout discussion held after the convention closed yesterday and renewed scenes of argument were enacted in the hall today when the question of increasing the salaries of the local officers was discussed.
 The entire morning session was consumed in debate which at times ran exceedingly high, with accusa- ton and recrimination running rife. It was finally decided to increase the salary of the president from $500 to $1.200, the two vice presidents from $50 to $100 each and the financial secretary from $1,000 to $l,S00.
 The addition of another vice presi- dent for the purpose of an increased organization campaign brought forth the assertion that the order expects to increase from 6o.o00 members to over 100000 during the next biennial period.

 T0 AVOID TRIAL IN BRIDGEPORT COURT
GOSSIP IN WAKE( OF REMOVAL OF
 MRS. S.B. CANDEE
Lawyers Engaged Following Sudden Leave Taking oH
 Publishers Widow.

The elite residential neighborhood of Fairfield avenue in the vicinity of Elmwood place is agog today over re- cent incidents in the home of Sarah B. Candee, widow of John D. Candee, founder of the Standard.
 Mrs. Candee, who lives at 1249 Fair field avenue, Is not at her home to- day. which is occupied by Mrs. tIar- riet C. White widow of Daniel A. White.
 Reports that Mrs. Candee was for cib1y taken from the home on Sep tember 1st, after an entrance had been effected into the mouse, and hastily removed to New Haven by force, are partly denied by the family here to- day. \/
 Mrs. White asserts that Frederick H. Stevens, formerly secretary, treasur- CT and manager of the Standard asso- citation, who once lived with Mrs. Can dee. came from New Haven on Sep tember 1st and took" Mrs. Candee back to that city, wherefshe is now residing with MT. Stevens at 120 Cot tage street. Judge Carl Foster has been retained to attempt a settlement of the family difficulties which have been suddenly precipftated by the re- moval of Mrs. Candee from her home in this city to that of her son-1n-law in New Haven.
 The family here deny with vigor that & doorway in the beautiful Fair field avenue residence was forced dur ing the absence of Mrs. White, who has yaeared Tor her aged mother In this city, asserting that a trolley car was the medium of trans. pcrtation used by MT. Stevens and Mrs. Candee.
 A well known firm of New Haven Stevens to protect his interests as a result of his recent trip to this city.
 Judge Carl Foster, representing the White family in this city, refuses to discuss the affairs of his clients be- yond admitting that Mrs. Candee is now in New Haven and that an un- fortunate family differences has caused his services to be solicited.
 Really, have not had time to full ly investigate the actual conditions, or tho facts relating to Mrs. Candee's removal from this city" said Attorney Foster in evading direct inquiry to- day.
 Mrs. Candee, whose husband for many years was the guiding genius of the Standard, is admittedly a wealthy woman. For nearly 20 years she hat occupied her present residence fin this city. One daughter married MT. Stevens and for manf years occu- pied the home with her mother. Re- gently Mrs White, another daughter. took up residence with her mother, and MT. and Mrs Stevens were seldom visitors at the home.
 Persons acquainted with the family declare that painful friction resulted from a minor breach, which upon the removal of MT. Stevens from this city grew materially.
 The particular reason for legal counsel being called into the dispute following the removal from this city of Mrs. Candee is not made plain by statements of the family today who refer all inquirers to Attorney Foster. though it is denied by Mrs. White. that violence was used in getting Mrs. Cam dee to visit New Haven.
