DRY, BUT WET

New Milford Saloonkeepers Keep
 Cafes Open Though Town Went Dry
 in the Last Election.
 New Milford, Nov. 6.-This town has today five saloons doing business apparently without license. The town voted no license last month and it was supposed that the saloons would close on the first Monday in Novem- Der when their licenses expired. It was later found that under one amendment adopted by the last legis- lature the saloons were permitted to keep open apparently until December l. A still furthr amendment was later discovered, which 1t is claimed, added confusion to the issue, some asserting that 1t nullified the other amendment.
 Five of the saloonkeepers applied to the county commissioners for re- newal of licenses were refused and have taken an appeal direct to the su- preme court Pending this decision the saloonists claim they have right to continue business until the first Monday in December and are so do- ing.
 It is not expected that a decision from the supreme court will be hand ed down before January. Meantime the no-license advocates say they will take no action.

Voting For Governor.

Boston, Nov. 6.-Perfect weather prevailed for the state election today. Massachusetts voters besides casting their ballots for governor and other state officers and members of the leg islature had before them three amend ments submitted by the constitutional convention.
 One of these, the so-called ''anti- aid' amendment, was responsible for the principal prediction excitement and it was thought that the intense feeling aroused would result in throw ing gout 8 large vote for an 'off'' year. This amendment would prohibit the granting of state aid to any institu- ton not entirely under public control. Cardinal O'Connell has attacked 1t as being aimed at the Catholic church but some of it's principal supporters have been Catholics.
 The other amendments would en- able the legislature to establish ar engagements for absentee voting and empower the state. cities and towns, to take and distribute necessaries of life in times of emergency.
 Governor Mccall, nominated by the republicans for third term, was op- posed by Frederick W. Mansfield democrat. There were also prohibi- ton, socialist and socialist labor tick cts in the field. Matthew Hale, a well known progressive, was the nom. Inee of both democrats and prohibi. tionists for lieutenant governor.
 Tn the sixth district Wilfred W Lufkin, republican and George H schofleld, democrat were the candi. dates for election to the seat made va. cant by Congressman Augustus P Gardner's resignation to enter thu army. ttf

INCREASED RATES
 HAS ANOTHER PHASE
Hearings to Be Held Now On Separate Rate
 Schedules

Washington, Nov. 6. - Another phase of the fight of the eastern rail- roads for increases in freight rates which brought the executive heads of various great trunk lines systems here for yesterdays; hearing before the InterAtata Commerce commission was inAuglFated today when examiner Dtsque by direction Of the commission begdn FAs@etries of hearings on sep arate rate schedules involved in the case. The railroads are asking not only the complete horizontal 15 per cent. increase which they sought previously and were partly denied in the commissions decision last spring, but are urging further increases or the ground that the 15 per cent. adance now would be inadequate to meet the mounting costs of wartime railway operation.
 President Req of the Pennsylvania railroad has advised the commission that even If 1t granted the balance of the 15 per cent. increase it would only leave the roads where they started in the case. He suggested that there might be an increase of a. few cents Der ton on coal, coke and ore while New England railway heads propose increases in class, coal and passenger rates.
 The separate hearing began today with 8 presentation of the case of the proposed increased rates on anthra-
 cite coal The New Haven road alone expects $300.O00 additional revenue l annually if the increase in coal rates 1 Is granted and other roads will derive considerably more.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT
  CURES DIPHTHERIA
Chairman c. H. Bodley Thinks Epi- demio Has Been Overcome-
 Now 34 Cases in City.

Two additional cases of diphtheria were reported to the health depart ment today. one on Lawlor street and the other in the family of Superin- tendent George F. Kibbe at the town farm. The patient in the last case is High school student and has been taken to an isolation hospital. One previous case has been taken to the isolation hospital in Hartford, making total of 34 New Britain people af- fected with the disease.
 Chairman George H. Bodley of the health department today stated that he thinks the backbone of the diph- theria epidemic has been broken but, he adds, it is the duty of the school teachers to be doubly careful in checking up their records to prevent any children from attending school while there are either dtphtheria car- riers or patients in their homes. AL though the Rockwell school has re- sumed sessions, the children living in families where there are either peo- pie sick with the disease or where there are known to be germ carriers are excluded.
 Tn many cases" Dr. Bodley says, the patients are Mn the families of foreign born parents who, because of their unfamiliarity with the English language, do not understand the pur- poses or restrictions of quarantine. Therefore 1t is necessary for the school teachers to keep an accurate check on all children known to have been quarantined. Especially is this necessary where some of the chill dren attend ono school and others at tend another schooL'

Of the 69e,sos voters who registered 1t was expected that at least 675,00O would cast their ballots. The polls opened at o'clock and close at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
 Many close political observers be- heve that the result may hinge upon the vote of the soldiers and sailors, estimated at about 5000. It will be about month before it is known 1low these men voted. s4,,
 At the close of campaign almost unparalleled for it's bitterness cam paign managers of the four parties issued statements claiming victory. The fusion party predicted that Mayor Mitchell would be reelected by a plur- ality of at least 60,0OO: Tammany Hall claimed that County Judge John F. Hylan. democrat would be elected by 10000 plurality: ex-State Senator Wm. M.
