EXEMPTIONS ALLOWED.
Several Said to Have Been So Ad-
 yiScd at Eleventh Hour.

It is unofficially stated that the reason several young men, who were originally scheduled to leave on Thursday With those going to Aver. were not sent is that they obtained an eleventh hour exemption from the district board. It is said that about a dozen such young men were affected and although they had been prepared to leave were advised at last that they did not have to go.
 It is furthermc re said that in al most every instance the exemption was granted because of industrial rea- sons and at the request of the factory employing the men. The name of the New Britain Machine company, work ing on government orders, is cited as one instance where exemption was se- cured for employees. It is likewise said that the exemption granted was not permanent and was only during the term of their employment on government work.

 Wise Liked Army Life.


 Added strength to the argument against Wises possible intention to desert the army and elope with the woman is given in a statement made by wise to an acquaintance on Tues day, only @ few hours before the kill ing. At this time Wise remarked that he must report back at Fort Slocum on Wednesday morning for, although he would be given six additional hours of grace, he did not intend to take ad- vantage of it. He said that there is another Jewish holiday, yom Ripper, coming next week and he hoped by returning to his command on time to gain the good will of his superior officers and be given another furlough at that time when he again intended to visit New Britain. To friends here Wise professed a great liking for army life.
 Friends of Wise think that an add ed injustice has been done him by any attempt to intimate that he may have had some knowledge of the Taft mur- der last winter. There is not one iota of evidence to warrant such thought, it Is said, and it Is now thought that the police have given up this theory which even they did not, apparently, consider very seriously.

president, from whom he had re- ceived an invitation to be his guest for an evening" They were admitted to the White House and to the room of the president. The first glimpse that Major Hicks had of the president was a peculiar one. The president was sitting in an arm chair deep in thought with his legs thrown over an arm of the chair. When he saw his visitors the president jumped up and greeted MT. Allen: How are you Friend Allen? I'm right glad to see you" Senator Allen introduced Major Hicks who was then a captain but the president said: Tt doesn't re- quire an introduction to my boys to know them.' Major Hicks then en- joyed half hour of the most de- lightful conversation with the pres- dent and Senator Allen at the open fire place of the presidents private study.

SPRINGFIELD PLANT
 TO MAKE AIRPLANES
Force Of 1,5O0 to Engage in h.
 dustry by January

Springfield, September 22.-Air- planes for the great fleet which may be Americas chief contribution to the winning of the war will soon be under construction in Springfield at first 400 to 600 school machines for the training of aviators and then giant aircraft similar to the Italian Caproni type. capable of carrying hugh charges of explosives.
 This new and additional role for the city in equipping the armed forces of the nation will be due to the taking over of the Wason car works in Brightwood by the Springfield air craft corporation, about to be char tered in Massa chusetts. The organ izers of the new corporation already have assurances of a contract from the government for training machines with promises that as the plant is equipped and enlarged with new buildings, it's capacity will be taxed to the utmost with further government work.
 An Italian officer within the last few days has been demonstrating two of the Caproni machines in the neigh borhood of Newport News, Va, and Washington, D. c. It is expected that the larger of these two machines, cap- able of carrying 25 persons, will soon be taken to pieces for the purpose of standardizing the manufacture of similar machines by the Springfield aircraft corporation and other plants in this country
 
 The Wason plant is to be leased to the Springfield aircraft corpCl ation by it's present owners, the J. G. Brill company of Philadelphia. Negotia- tions have been in progress for some time and the final papers will be passed in a day or two, after which work will be at once begun in the ex- pectation that 25 or 30 of the training will havo been completed by January and that a force of 1.4O0 to 1,50O mon will then be at work.

Price Of Milk Expected to Take
 New Upward Move

Hartford. Sept. 22.-The price of milk in Hartford and throughout Con- necticut will advance again on Oc- tober 1. probably about cents d quart, making the standard price II cents to the home consumer instead of twelve cents as at present. The in crease is expected os result of a meeting of the directors of the Con- necticut Milk Producers association, to be held in this city. Sunday, when, it is admitted, by the producers a higher price will be fixed as the one to be demanded by dairynen from the milk dealers or distributors. The amount of the increase will not be decided until after the meeting but it is expected that it will be about two cents
 Until last April. when the milk producers association was organized the price paid for milk to the dairy men was in the neighborhood of cents a quart. Since April it has been 6 IA cents d quart The new price is expected to be about 8 cents. The dealers say that whatever increase is set by the oairymen will probably be paid by he lealers put that it will have to be added directly to the retail price and the whole burden will come upon householders and other consum- CTS. The standard retail price in Hart ford is 12 cents a quart, though some dealers :harSe as high as 1 , or 16 cents.
 Cream Going Up.
 The retail price of cream is ex pected to take a still higher leap as each quart of cream represents sev- eral quarts of milk. Heavy cream that is now sold at 60 cents quart will probably go up 20 cents to price of 30 cents a quart.
 The increase in the price of milk, which the dairymen say will be due largely to the increased cost of haH and other food fodder, will follow increases for October and Novem- Der announced in New York state and Massachusetts early this week. Milk in those states s sold by the dairynen in a weight basis with the weight computed on butter fat basis. Here it is sold by the quart, The price per 100 pounds in New York has been set for New York state at from s2.S6 to SPA, and for November when an additional in- crease will go into effect at from $3.1O to sa4s per 100 pounds.
 The average price in New York is computed on a quart basis at "A cent for October and 7.9 cents in November. Dairyrlen say that the price in Connecticut is usually a lit tie higher than that in New York, so if the Connecticut dairymen meet the New York increase and exceed it a little. as they have done in thc past the wholesale cost of milk will be not far from cents in Connecti- cut during October and November.
