WARD FAVORED FOR
COMMERCE POST
Native Of New Britain May Be
Chosen Secretary

An important meeting of the New
New Britain Chamber of Commerce
directors took place this afternoon at
O'Clock, at which many matters of
importance to the organization were
scheduled for transaction due to the
long absence of regular meetings by
the board during the summer months.
One Of the most important was the
discussion on the selection of an ex-
,ecutive secretary to succeed A. H. An
drews. who retired July /, to accept
place in the New Bedford, Mass
chamber. Numerous applications for
the vacancy have been received, but
of this number three have received
the bulk of attention. In securing
around for a suitable secretary, an
official who has an idea of all phases
OF the work was desirious, and to
one of the three the selection seems
to be unanimous.
This man is Joseph Ward, a former
resident of this city, and young man
who,- by his successes in other cities,
In chamber of commerce work, has
proved his worth. Mr.. Ward has been
in this city for the past few days and
members Of the directorate of the
chamber have expressed themselves as
favoring him.
Mr.. Ward is a native Of this city
ana was educated in the parochial
school and later graduated from the
New Britain High school. In his
scholastic life he evinced his quail
hcatlons of rising to great height in
the business world and after accepting
responsible position with the New
Haven road, he continued to gain
promotion by his diligence and close
application to his duties. A few years
ago., Ward branched out in the work
of organization of chambers of COM
merce in various cities, and he met
with good success.
The local chamber has taken steps
toward Strengthening it's mem bership,
and with a secretary Of Mr.. Wards
calibre at the helm, should succeed.
Campaign workers are now here and
plans are being formulated for the
work soon to be undertaken. The
policies of the conduct of the cham
Der for the coming year were also
discussed at length by the directors.

In three or four instances, it is I'M

There is no intention to treat the

WHY SOCIALISTS BALKED
Refused to Aid Ribot in Forming
Cabinet Because Some Ministers
Were to Be Retained.

Paris, Sept. O.-Yesterday's action
of the socialist party in refusing to
collaborate with Alexandra Ribot in
forming new ministry, which
caused M. Ribot, after consultations,
to notify President Poincare that he
was obliged to give up the effort, was
quite unexpected.
An explanation of the socialist step
was given by some Of theeir deputies
in the Hobbies of the chamber, their
declaration being that when Premier
Ribot announced a reconstruction of
the ca binet would take place the
socialists were under the impression
that fundamental changes would be
made, and it was on that understand
ing that they agreed to continue to
collaborate with the governm ent.
They found out, however, that a ma
jority Of the existing ministers VIII be
retained. That being the caBef they
considered the ministry did not offer
sufficient guarantees either of more
vigorous conduct of the war or truly
democratic policy, the deputies ex-
planned, and consequently the party
decided TO withhold it's support.
The political situation has now be-
come complex and difficult one, and
it Is considered in the lobbies that it
will require some days to resolve it. ~

Death Penalty Cause of Crisis.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Russian en-
bassy officials believe the resignation
of General Korniloff was forced by
elements of the council of workmen's
and soldiers delegates opposed to en-
forcement of the, death penalty for
nutinous soldiers and that General
Klembovsky, the new commander, will
modify the death penalty order.
Representatives of the workmen
and soldiers in the Kernsky cabinet, it
was pointed out, have been dissatis
fed with the stringent measures
adopted to restore the Russian army
to discipline, fearing the power might
menace the new democratic ideals of
the republic. They insisted that less
drastic discipline would receive more
whole hearted support of the army
and consequently would be more eff
fective.
The embassy had not received off,
cial news Of General korniloff's re-
moval.
