WOMEN IN LINE.
Noticed Among Thousands Of Fhna
Seeking Tickets.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Today is the great
day of all the baseball world. This
afternoon. the New York team, cham
pions of the National league, and the
Chicago White Stockings, champions
Of the American league, were to meet
for the worlds championship.
All night long a line of two or three
hundred persons including few
women stood in line at the windows
where, at 10 o'clock this morning. the
$1,000 remaining pavilion and bleach
err seats were sold.
1t was cold and most Of the night
there was a drizzle of rain. Some
quit, only to re-appear before dawn,
but mostly they obeyed the impera-
tive order of the good of baseball ana
stuck.
Sunrise was delayed somewhere in
the fog. Through the long hours a
ghostly line stretched its length along
the fence of Comiskey park Electric
lights showed dimly through rain
washed globes. The only cheerful!
thing in sight was the flicker of the
gas flame under coffee boilers in a
makeshift canvas shelter across the
street, although there was some cheer
too, in the steam and the odor which
arose from frankfurter boilers, the
owners of which did thriving bust
ness through the night

PRAISE by WILSON
GIVEN TO CONGRESS
85th Congress Deserves tho Gratitude
And Appreciation, President Says
IN Statement Today.

Washington, Oct. 6.-The work Of
the congressional session adjourning
today was praised by President Will
son in statement saying:
1.-THE needs of the army and navy
have been met In way that assures
the effectiveness of American arms
and the war-making branch of the
government has been abundantly
equipped with the powers that were
nation effective"
1.-THE 65th congress, now adjourn
ing" the president added, deserves
the gratitude and appreciation of a
people whose will and purpose I be-
lieve it has faithfully expressed. One
cannot examine the record of it's &C.
ton without being impressed by it's
completeness, it's courage and it's full
comprehension of a great task
II believe that it has also in equal
degree and as far as possible In the
face Of war, safeguarded the rights
of the obscured in the hasty read
justments of such a crisis
1T seems to me that the work of
this remarkable session has not only
been done thoroughly but that it has
also been done with the utmost dis
patch possible in the circumstances
or consistent with full consideration
Of the exceedingly critical matters
dealt with. Best of all, it has left no
doubt as to the spirit and determine
ton of the country but has affirmed
them as loyalty and as emphatically
-as our fine soldiers will affirm them
on the firing line"

ENLIST FOR BIG
LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN HERE

No agency for bringing before tne5
general public, and especially those1
mployed in factories, the illlrnediate]
need Of money to finance the war Will
be neglected. All the manufactured
ere 100 per cent. in earnest They be-
lieve the war is not nearly ended hAv-
ing become convinced OF this through
channels to which they have access
as manufacturers. They are not alarm
lists but they appreciate the fact that
the country is not awakened to q prop-1
er realization of the situation. There
fore they intend to put their shoulder
TO the p!ow a-cd push with All their
might Several told OF information
they had received from trustworthy
sources abroad Of conditions In tho
countries Of the Entente Allies and IN
those Of the Central Powers. Thosl
pictures they drew were not rosy, to
say the least. There's long row to 4
hoe yet and they intend to provide the
hoe and encourage Other to do like
wise.
In opening the meeting, Pregicentl
Sloper said more intensive Efforts
would be necessary to make the Sec
ond Liborty Loan a success than waAl
the case in the campaign for the frst
Liberty Loan. He expressed the
opinion that many would be forced to
sacrifice their golf and other pleas
ures and buckle down to hard work
to dispose OF the second allotment An1s
to uphold the honor of New. sHnta3t&
as a center of patriotism. After disE
cussing the situation thoroughly IL
was decided to ask each factory how
much 1t would invest in bonds for It's
self and how much it would undcr-
write for it's employees. The request
for definite information was contained.
In letters sent out today to industrial
heads and carried by special sI;oys
Scout messengers. The answers ara
expected to be filed by next Tuesday
night when the bankers will meet the
manufacturers again.
If personal effort and advertising
can make this loan success in New
Britain then that success will be
gained. Posters appealing to tho pa
triotism and civic pride Of all residents
will be flung broadcast. They will
peer from windows, look down on the
busy worko"., in factories and call
from billbc""ls. No spot in which a
poster can i,c used effectually will sbe
overlooked. After deciding the amount
to which it will subscribe for its en-
ployes. each factory will transmit to
it's workers, by means of tho pay on
vetope, an appeal for subscriptions.

DON'T BUY COAL NOW
Mayor Qufgley Officially Advises
Public That Local Prices Are Far
Too High.

100 f1l8n.
Following a conference this noon
with certain officials whom he did not
care to quote, Mayor G. A. Quigley is
sued a statement advising the public
of New Britain not to place orders for
coal at the prevailing prices.
II am convinced that the local
dealers who are asking anywhere
from $1,000 to $11.25 per ton are
charging too much and 1 have been
unof1cially warned that such is the
case. Therefore, as mayor Of the city
L would recommend that the people
wait. a week or more before placing
orders for coal at the prevailing
prices. I think that within a short
time these prices will be materially
reduced, the mayor said.
In addition mayor Quigles is in
vestigating the food situation as a
member of the food committee and
has called a meeting of all potato
growers in this section of the county
for Tuesday afternoon at o'clock in
city hall. The food committee will
also meet at this time.

BRANDED AS DESERTERS
Names OF Those Wanted BY Author
ities-Conslsiracy Evident in One


Secretary Stephen Robb of the Sec
ord exemption board today announced
the names of the following men schcd-
uled to have left on Thursday, as de-
serters: Baba J. Murzi and Eshoo J.
Murzi both of 80 Union street: John
Puieck, of 81 Franklin street; Solo
mon S. Joseph, of 80 Union street; MI
chael Raciwcis. of rs Seymour street;
Peter Joseph, 119 North street; VIII
liam Skirka, of 33S Church street: and
Peter 1amersky, Of 322 Church street.
In each instance the police have
tried in vain to locate the missing men
but have been informed that they all
left town several days ago without
leaving any address behind them. The
fact that three men have deserted
from 80 Union street. two of them
brothers, leads the authorities to be-
lieve that there was a we'll laid con-
spiracy there to avoid army service If
captured these men will be turned
over to the proper authorities and
treated as military deserters.
Five men whose names have been
previously announced will leave Mon
day morning for Camp Devens from
the first district.

N. II. TAX ON VT. CARS
All Entering State More Than 20
DAYS in Year to Reolster.


Bellows Falls, June 1S.-Local own
ers OF automobiles and motor vehicles
are considerably concerned over re
cent ruling of New Hampshire on mo-
tor vehicles. Louis Burnette, who
lives in this place, owns and operates
motor truck with which he has been
drawing lumber from Alstead, N. H.,
to this village. On one of his trips
while in New Hampshire he was held
commissioner and was informed that
he must pay for the registration of his
truck in New Hampshire
The fee was SIS which Mr.. Burnette
paid and subsequently received a re-
ceipt and registration papers from Con
cord. This is the first instance when
Bellows Falls people, travelling in cars
properly registered in Vermont, have
been molested in New Hampshire.
Shief OF Police w. f. Severance
took the matter up and was told over
the telephone by Commissioner Chase
of Concord that Vermont cars going
into New Hampshire more than 20
different days during a season were
subject to registration in that state.
This is causing CONSERVATION among
local owners of cars as the fine state
boulevards in New Hampshire are
popular and there is hardly an own
err who does not visit New Hampshire
more than 20 days in season. There
are no restrictions in Vermont on
visits from New Hampshire cars. Mr..
Severance has taken the matter up
with Secretary OF State Guy w.
Bailey.
