STATE PASSOVER
$4,000 DAMAGES
CAUSED BY DOGS
Bridgeport Claims Tota
1892 and Stratford Bills
Reach $50

The state of Connecticut is paying
out of its treasury this year s11, 312.27
for damages done by dogs, A small
part of this. about $3,056.82, has beer
spent for Pasteur treatment for per-
sons bitten by mad dogs. An even
smaller part has been spent for ply
sicians' care for persons bitten.
BY far the larger part Of the money
has been expended for actual dam
age done by dogs. One peculiar fea-
ture of these damages is the fact that
in the towns where the expenses to
thes tate have been largest with the
possible exception of Waterbury
most of the money paid out has been
given to individuals who have claim
ed damages for dog ravages.
Danbury has big expense account
against the state, $51s.50, but only 50
of this is in claims from individuals
for property destroyed. Their est is
for Pasteur treatment. Harwinton
stands well up in the list with $11S2 %,
a large part of this being paid to Tor
rfngton for ravages committed by
dogs outside tibet own. Norwalk's
whole claim of $257.12 is for Pasteur
treatment. Westport spent 1920 out
of 381. 46 charged up to the state for
damages done by dogs here. The
whole of Waterbury's $500 went for
Pasteur treatment. Torrington has
lsclaims of $55548. but $420.70 of that
went for Pasteur treatment,
< Some towns did not have f5eany
charges for damag es done by dogs.
The towns and cities, in which the
dogs apparently behaved themselves,
include Barkhamsted, Bethlehem,
Bridgewater. Brookfe1d, Colebrook,
Cornwall, Coventry, Kent, Litchf1eld,
New Milford, Norfolk, Redding,
| Ridgef1e1d, Salisbury, Sharon, Shelton,
Thomaston, Trumbu1l, Washington,

The other towns and cities of the

MASS. PRIMARIES
Frederick w. Mansfield Only
Candidate for Democratic
Nomination

Boston. Sept. s25-Republican voters
went to the polls in the state primar-
les today to decide whether Governor
Samuel w. Mccall should be renomi-
mated for a. third. term. His opponent
was Grafton D. Cushing of Boston.
All the other state officers also were
candidates, for reorganization on the
Republican ticket. Attorney-General
Henry G. Attwill was opposed by Con-
rad w. Croker of Brookline, and
Charles G. Bruce Of Everett sought
to wrest the nomination for auditor
from the present incumbent, Alfonso
B. Cook.
Frederick W. Mansfield was the
only candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor. No names
of aspirants for other state office ap-
peared on the Democratic ballot, but
stickers bearing the names of candi-
dates had been distributed. Mr.. Mans
field was the Democratic nominee for
governor last year.

Along with other managers of the

the appeal will meet with very

satisfied and to direct their thoughts

along better lines. Nothing will be
more entertaining or instructive than
reading the new. modern, well chosen
books which will be supplied by this

ACCUSE WHOLESALERS
OF HOLD-UP TACTICS

Plainheld, Sept. 25-The local milk
dealers, speaking for the Fairfield
County Milk Dealers Association, al,
legged last night that the wholesalers
have refused to buy milk from the
producers; saying that they cannot
buy because they cannot get enough
from the retailers to make a. profit,
and that they then tell the retailers
that they cannot buy milk from the
producers as they charge too much
for their milk. The retailers have in
vestigated these charges before MAX
ing the above statement, and allege
that the wholesalers are working both
ends so as to create such a demand
Tor milk that they can charge as
much as they please to the retailers.
The wholesalers, on the other hand,
alleged that they cannot buy milk for
low prices enough to make a profit
when they sell to the retailers, who
have the price-hxing power in this
county. according to the wholesalers
allegations.

Opened

Washington, Sept. 25 AZ third
series of officers training camps will
be opened by the war department
earlyi in January. Candidates for
commissioners, AdjutantS General Nc
Cain announced, will be selected from
enlisted men of the regular army, or

selective draft law no applications
from civilians being considered.
None of the training camp sites
now being utilized will be utilized for

no intimation of the location of the
camps has been given, it is probable
that, following the system used in
selecting national army contonments
the majority Of the camps will be sit
uated inAthe South in order to escape
the rigors of Northern winter.
The camps will afford men of the
national army an opportunity to win
commissions and it is probable that
the drafted men will be heavily rep
resented. Secretary Baker recently
announced that every chance will be
offered national army men to rise
from the ranks.
Establishment of the third series of
camps is part of a general policy Of
the war department to- continue the
making of officers by Special training
in order to keep pace with the enlist
ed strength Of the service.
