 Having broken their quarantine in Killingly and skidded over the line into Punam-on the Bennett farm in the eastern section of the town-two idents of New York, were made the subject of an investigation by Captain Joseph A. Ryan of the local police when his attention was called to the matter Saturday by Constable Michael H. Cfrimshaw of Attawaugan, who IS acting as a quarantine officer in the northern section of Killingly.
 When interviewed by Captain Ryan and Constable Grimshaw the party of six who had crossed into Putnam said they had left the farm where they had been staying in Killingly on account of the poor sanitary regulations at the place. They made the claim that two more wOmen six men and nine chil- dren were occupying a small cottage.
 After listening to their tale of woe, Captain Ryan told them that unless they returned either to Killingly or New York before this (Monday) morn ing he would have them placed in the peSthOuse, under quarantine restric- HOns. There is no illness among the members of the group, but, consider ing certain circumstances, it was be- leved best to be very careful in safe guarding public health here.
 The outcome of the interview was an agreement under which the two women and four children were to be allowed to proceed on Sunday by troll Icy to Norwich, there to take a boat back for New York.
 During Saturday Captain Ryan re- CeiVed information that several chil- drCn from New York have arrived now staying with friends or relatives in the city. These came by train direct from New York to this city via Hartford and Wiliimantic
 On Both Sides at Same Time.
 Filing two applications-one for registration upon the republican eau GUS list, the other for listing as a member entitled to participate in the democratic CaucuSeS to be held in Put nam this fall-is not at all a nourish- ing proceeding. it would appear from on opinion given Saturday by Attor- ney Charles l., TOrrey, at the request of Hermon c. Carver, registrar of vot- CTS for the republican party.
 During the past week there has been considerable activity on the part of the scouts of the two political parties Tn securing names that might be add ed to the caucus lists. The story goes that several young men, the number said to be about a dozen, filed appli- catiGgs to ba registered as democrats. Larer for reasons best known to themselves, these men also filed appli- cations for registration on the repub- icGn caucus list.
 It has been given as an opinion by Attorney T2rrey that the men who fled applications to De registered both as republicans and democrats are not entitled to participate in the coming caucuses of either political party.
 His point is that the real day of registration is the day that the regis trars are in session; therefore, no mat ter in what order filed, the opposite applications Of the voters referred to neutralize each other and do not enti- tie them to participate in either eau GUS, the status of these voters being the same as though they had filed no application at all.
 II was of interest to republicans here to learn that 50 additionaLnanes for the party list was filed with the registrars about 10 minutes before the time for so filing expired, these names being in addition to the number hand ed in during the present month
