The Colonial offers for a headline
attraction a masterpiece Of the silent
drama, 1.-THE Serpent" a William Fox
production in six parts. The far-famed
Theda Bara is starred in 1.-THE Serpent"
and her acting Is Of the sort for which
she has become famous. Raoul A.
Walsh directed this production which
is another guarantee Of worth. Walsh
reaches a high point Of perfection in
the splendid mounting Of the picture
and in the management Of some bat
tie scenes which are realistic through
out. Summed up, "The Serpent" is
probably the best Of the productions
starring Theda Bara, superior to most
because of fine direction, and Miss
Bara's acting which is even more con-
yincing than usual. 1.-THE Serpent" has
met with unusual success wherever 1t
has been shown, and in many cities
people were turned away. Tonight in
order to accommodate all who desire to
see this photoplay, it will be shown
twice, the first time at 7.05, the second
time at 900 P. M.

BETTER SERVICE
 TO FOLLOW R. R. EIGHT HOUR LAW
Assistant Secretary of Labor Says It Will Benefit
 Shippers.

The eight hour law recently passed by Congress will benefit the shippers as well as the railroad employees, &C., cording to Louis F. Post, assistant sec retary of labor, who has made an ex- haustive study of the act. MT. Post says that the law will give the ship pers better service, because their wares will be transported with greater speed without any increase in rates.
 MT. Post says:
 The people have been told that the threatened strike was to secure an eight-hour day with ten hours wages and that this would cost the railroads millions of dollars for the wage in- crease. No such condition is involved.
 "A fair rate of speed would be 12 1-2 miles an hour. The men have been kept down to 10 miles an hour, or even less. What the men threatened to strike for was 12 1-2 miles an hour, which would cover 100 miles in eight hours. If the railroads will manage their roads decently they can cover the 100 miles at the same wage cost as now. This would give tue men a shorter time for the same wages. 1t would cost the companies no more for the same run, and 1t would furnish a better service to the public.
 The railroads say # costs moro in coal to go 12 1-2 miles an hour than ten. But does 1t? Why are they not willing to leave that to investigation as the President advises?'

C0MPERS GIVES WILSON PRAISE
 FOR LEGISLATION
Liberty-Loving Americans Cannot Fail to Sustain
 President, He Says.

| In my experience with United States Congresses during two score years I have not seen anything like the fine spirit toward labor, toward the rights and welfare of all the people, pervad- ing all the branches of the Wilson ad- ministration. Labor has been recog- nized neither in the spirit of deference on the one hand, nor of patronage on ] the other.
 1 But the spirit of recognition has been the right one: that labor should be made part of the national councils; that its patriotism should be conceded, and that it's knowledge of it's own needs should give it paramount voice in legisation directly and peculiarly affecting its own rights. This fundamental right spirit has guided the Wilson administration to wise and righteous labor legislation. Because of that spirit and it's results in definite laws and policies, how can liberty-loving Americans loyal to the republic and its ideals fail to sustain an executive who has done so much for their realization?

In all the centers of Jewish popula- tion there is an almost total suspen- sion of business activities by the Jews, only works of absolute necessity or charity being permissible. For twen- ty-four hours the orthodox Jews ab- stain from food and drink of all kinds, the only exemptions being in the cases of the sick. nursing mothers, the very young and the very old. The fast begins at sunset this evening and is not broken by the devout Jews until after the religious services tomorrow evening.
 the religious services in connection with Tom Kippur commence this evening and, in orthodox congrega- tions, will be practically continuous tomorrow. An impressive feature is the solemn memorial service for those who have passed away within the last twelvemonth.
 Special collections will be taken up by the Jews of this country for the benefit of their suffering brethern in Russia. Poland and other countries beyond the seas, where the red lights of war aref laming. Following Tom Kippur will come a series of festivals, beginning with the Feast of Taber- nacles on Oct. 18th.

TWENTY YEARS AGO
THE DANBURY FAIR.

The Danbury fair which opened Monday had bad weather for two days with light attendance, but good wealth CT came to-day. It is as large and comprehensive an exposition as any that has been seen upon the grounds. The departments and classes are all full The flowers, the chickens, the dogs, the cats, the ladies' industrial and the art and machine\ \displays are large and fine.
 The catch-penny attractions are many.
 The exhibition of cattle and biooded stock is larger than has ever been shown at Danbury fair. There are fine herds of Devons, three herds of Holsteins, two Heresfords, four of Swiss cattle, two Guernseys, two Red poles, two Jerseys, four Ayrshires, and eleven head of Dutch belted cattle.
 The poultry exhibit is a great i'm provement over it's predecessors. There are 50 pairs of foul, besides a great variety of Nancy birds, pigeons, cats, pets and etc.
 Machinery becomes less noticeable every year and nearly all the space is now devoted to mercantile displays.
 Some of the fakirs complain of the restrictions placed upon them this year. and some have left town in dis gust. The Main building has been repainted in bright colors and with its white and pink trimmings looks decid- edly, attractive. The number of mer- cantile exhibits is about the same as in former years. but the show is much richer. There are few new names in the lists of exhibitors

UHE DECLARATION OF
 THE INDEPENDENCE OF ARGENTINE REPUBLIC

The representatives of the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata, in con gress assembled at the city of Tucu- man. on the ninth day of July, 1916, the dispatch of the usual and ordinary business being over, they took again into consideration the motions and speeches made in the preceding days upon the great and important sub- ject of the independence of the people represented by the same congress and who most earnestly. decidedly and uni versa1ly wish and claim solemn act of their emancipation and freedom from the despotic power of the kings of Spain.
 They therefore weighed their mo- mentous matter, with the utmost at tention and care, devoting to its res olutfon all their talents, with that pe- riod of intention requisite in sanction ing their own fate, that of the peo- pie they represent, and their poster 1ty. On the question being put wheth- provinces should be free and inde- pendent from the kings of Spain and its metropolis, 1t was voted in the affirmative by unanimous acolama- ton of all the said representatives,: who likewise each of them individual fly ratified and confirmed their respec- tive, spontaneous, unanimous and de- cided vote for'the independence of the country. In consequence whereof, the following resolution was determined, ito wit:

THD GREAT MATCH

The most interesting game OI UdSe- ball that was ever witnessed in Bridgeport cameI off yesterday after noon in the B. D.. between the Bridge port club who have held the champion bat thus far, in several contests and the Pequonnock club, which has al- ways been considered the strongest club in the city. The excitement in ball circles regarding this match has been on the increase as the appointed time drew near.
 The Bridgeports in each match for the bat, has evidenced a continual ad- vance in batting and fielding. and very many who, previous to their victories over the Americans and the Eurekas, were confident, the Pequonnocks would finally hold the bat. were doubt full as to the result. A large crowd of spectators were on hand, and we noticed several policemen constantly employed in keeping them back of the flags. Throughout the game the ex- citement of the spectators was intense. and made itself manifest especially in the last two innings. The cheering and applauding at different parts of the game, by the friends of each club, making 1t impossible to hear the decis- ions of the umpire. The game was very close, and each club exhibited some fine play. Although we think that in some of the innings both show ed considerable mufing, owing prob ably to the excitement of the specta- tors. The game closed with a victory for the Bridgeport club who now hold the bat permanently having won all the games. The score was 50 to 43. Batteries: For Bridgeport, J. c. Cur tiss and w. H. Jones, for Pequonnock E. Casey and T. Coulanam.
