The S85,OOO fund for the Boys club IS assured. With the prospect of an additional subscription of s1OOOO from six local citizens to spru them on to the collecting of a similar amount the workers went after the reouired sum with zeal, and as a result the glowing reports today showed that SIS, 3,6O9.35 had been secured. This amount added to the promised sub- scription of $10:0O0 bringing the total amount today to s23,069.35, and this added to the grand total report ed yesterday at s57,792.35 sums LID today a grand total of sS1,4O1S1 leaving $3,598.19 to be collected before tomorrow noon, the closing day of the campaign. Interest in the reports today, reached fever heat and when the time arrived for Vice President Philip Corbin of the Bows club to call the roll, there was a noticeable hush.
 Big Attendance.
 One of the largest gatherings or the noon luncheons was on hand to- day, many of the team captains re- portlng full quota of members pres ent. seated at the head table were: Chef Rawlings of the police depart ment, A. N. Lewis, F. A. Searle and others who have been prominent dur ing the campaign. Prayer prior to the luncheon was offered by Rev. J. E. Rees of the Stanley Memorial church. Superintendent Crawford was on hand again today with a small army of his charges and the youngsters sang, cheered and in oth CT ways contributed to making the day one of the happiest of the cam paign MT. Crawford gave his usual talk on the merits of the boys who are members of the club
 The calling of the roll of reports was taken up and four or five of the ladies teams turned in glowing re- ports. When team No. 33, with Mrs. Howard Parsons as captain. reported subscriptions amounting to $2.25O, a storm of applause broke over the building for with this sum records Of the entire week were broken. Mrs. Parsons team has been doing fine work throughout the campaign ard with the crowning achievement of b. day to cap the climax, it certainly deserved the cheers. also the Tiger" Second honors today went to Mrs w. l..

ENGLAND TO DISAVOW
 SEIZURE OF CHINA
Will Repudiate Act of Cap tain in Taking Ameri-
 can Ship.

London, May 4, 5:1O p. m.-The be- lief is expressed in neutral diplomatic circles that the British foreign office not only will order the release of the Austrians and Germans seized on board the American steamer China while on her way from Shanghai to San Francisco on February 19 last, but also will disavow the action of the captain of the auxiliary cruiser Laurentic in making the seizure.
 Although the latest American note refuses to discuss the actual move ments of the seized passengers or their plottings, it is known that the attention of the British authorities has been called to the fact that those arrested, although enroute to Manila, could not have reached that port on board the China but would have been compelled to trans-ship at Nagasaki where they would have been within the jurisdiction of Japan, England's S ally; and that, therefore, the seizure rot only was unjustifiable but un- necessary.
 The United States government takes the attitude that seizure was an exact parallel to the case of the Trent

Although the new municipal slaughter house has proceeded no farther than rough sketches the health department is being lombard ed with applications for the inspector ship. To date, no less than thirty men of various stations in life have shown willingness to accept the $1,- 900 plum if such it may be termed.

NEW CONCERNS MAY
 COME TO THIS CITY
ForestVille Company Said to Have
 Its Eyes on New Britain Site
OTHER NEAR NEW HAVEN
Both Said to Be Ready to Make Offer to Building Company of Chamber of COnmcrce-AutO Parts Co., Near 1y Ready.

James M. Carney, one of the leading figures in the Hartford Auto Parts company, was in this city today, look ing over some of the final details of preparing the new factory erected by the Chamber of Commerce on Ellis street, into which the company will move as soon as the machinery can be secured. In discussion with a Her aid man, MT. Carney said that it Is hoped to be able to commence opera tions early in July. At present work men are engaged in wiring the build ing and on the completion of this work, there remains but little to be done.
 The Hartford concern at present is taxed with orders and for working space. Realizing the splendid oppor- tunity that confronts the concern on it's location in this city, the officials of the plant are more than anxious to get here as early as possible. On his acceptance of the presidency of the Chamber of Commerce, George M. Landers immediately got busy in reaching the cOmpany's officials, who have assured him that all possible haste is being made in getting per- manently located here. The com pany was the recipient recently of an order from one of the largest clutch concerns in the country, and this, with considerable experimental work that is to be taken up, will be the first work that will be done in the new building.
 Other Firms May Follow Suit.
 The arrival of the Hartford Auto Parts company, will it is reported mean the locating here at a later date of two rapidly growing manufacturing concerns in the western part of the state. These concerns have expanded so fast in the past few months that it means the building of new factories at their present locations.
 Some of the members of the board of directors are in close touch with the fine treatment accorded the Hartford concern by the building company of the Chamber of Commerce, and are seriously considering offering a prop osition to that body which will no doubt be acceptable. One of these concerns is the Peck & Young con- cern of Forestville. MT. Humason, one of the officers of the company was interviewed this afternoon, and while he admitted that the company's bus mess was very good, he denied that it was it's intention to leave Forestville.
 The other concern is located near New Haven and has recently placed large orders with the Hartford Auto Parts company. The Herald inform ant states that it is the wisdom of be- ing closer to the local factory that will eventually mean the locating in this city of this concern, which employs over 100 employees, manufacturing electrical parts and other articles per- taining to the automobile industry.
