SUPREME COURT HAS ALL ELECTION FACTS
Beckley-Aling Controversy Aired Before Highest Tribunal
YoRESTERS' INSTALLATION
Funerals of Mrs. Ducy Hunt and Mrs. Carrie Bennett Pollard Held This !, .Afternoon-Midnigh Dieturbers at the Depot-Briefs.

One of tho first matters that came to the attention of the supreme court yesterday in the third days session of the January term was the contest in- volving who was legally elected first selectman of Berlin in last October's election. Willard I. filling, the re- apblican nominee for the office was declared elected by the moderator of the election and because of the declaration, Norman L. Beckley, the nominee on the democ cratic ticket, ap- pealed to the superior court, claim ing that ballots cast for him were Illegally rejected and that he should hfvye been declared elected A re- count of the ballots was held before Judge Joseph P. Futile. On an exami- nation of the rejected ballots Judge Futile ruled that certain of the bal lots should have been counted and with the counting of these rejected Vballots which Judge Futile held to Ehave been legally cast, decision was sT sTeached whereby it was ruled that MT. Beckley was entitled to the office. Ac- Rcording to the moderators announce sment there were 28O ballots cast for 2 MT. filling and 279 for Mr. Beckley shut on Judge Tuttle's recount the de- scision was that i2s4 ballots had been east for MT. Beckley and 2S2 for Mr. Falling. Mir. filings appeal is taken Ion the ground that Judge Futile erred in holding that the ballots which had sDeen rejected by the moderator were a1eEAl ballots which should have been scounted. There are six alleged errors seet up and each one of the six treats with different classes of ballots ecob1e E. Pierce appeared for Beckley and Warren B. Johnson for filling Decision on the contest was reserved. p Mrs. Lucy Hunt.

 Disturbance at Depot
 For some time past there has been 8 disturbance of some kind almost every night around the Berlin depot and even more so on Saturday eve ming. The place seems to be sort of a hang out after the saloons have closed for the night and only recently several small fights occurred. Last Saturday evening several Italian men had some young ladies with them and were making their way toward the station when four or five of their countrymen started an attack. For several minutes the road in front of the water tank resem bled section of some European battlefield but the defence was too stubborn and soon carried the day. Perhaps this has been the most serious affair so far but free reign in one will only lead to another and if some precautions are not taken that section of the town will not be a safe place to travel in after Il o'clock at night.
 Today at the Churches.
 Starting at o'clock this afternoon the annual meeting of the Berlin Con- gregational church will be held. The supper in connection with the meet o'clock and a cordial invitation has been extended to all the people to come and enjoy an evening of good fellowship together.

ORDNANCE NEEDS MEN
Many Posts Open to Americans
in That Service.
Chief Officer Announces That oppor~
tunlties for Technical Men With
Unit in France Are Good.

Paris.-The ordnance department of
the United States army in France
wishes to correct an impress
sion prevailing-that, by reason of be-
ing a particularly desirable branch Of
the service, 1t already has enlisted its
full quota. On the contrary, there are
openings In every class, from private
to the highest ranking noncommis-
stoned officer.
Enlistments are required to fill the
positions of clerks, stenographers, typ
lists and general Office help, both at
headquarters and the various depots
throughout France. Many armorers
and carpenters are also needed, and
a prompt warrant for a grade COM
mensurate with ability displayed is
assured.
An especially attractive opportunity
is presented to technical men and
graduates of mechanical schools. The
ordnance department offers to such
men a chance to specialize along the
lines of their individual training. Pro-
motions to the grade of commissioned
officer are made on the merits of the
work done. and many enlisted men
have won this reward solely upon the
grounds of the ability and training
they possessed.
Enlistments will be accomplished In
the usual manner and under the mill
tary rules and regulations observed By
the recruiting offices In the United
States.
Men who are eligible and DESTROYS Of
enlisting should make application a
once, writing direct to the chief ord
nance officer, American expeditioaar.
forces, France, who will make all ar
rangements and notify the applicant
accordingly.

Madison Women.

Too many women mistake their

to the sex. More often d~isordered
kidneys are causing the aching back,
dizzy spells, headaches and irregular
urination. Kidney weakness be-
comes dangerous If neglected. Use a
time-tried kidney remedy-Doan's
Kidney Pills. Hosts of people testify
to their merit. Read a Madison case f:
Mrs. G.. H. Vrezens, 705 Main
street, says: II have used Doan's
Kidney Pills for several years and
they are the best kidney remedy |
have ever tried. / had attacks OF
kidney trouble and my back ached
awfully. had dizzy spells and spots
floated before my eyes. I was run
down and didn't have any strength
or energy and 1 was bothered with
my kidneys acting irregularly
Doan's Kidney Pills, l found, were
just what l needed and soon after ]
started using them, my back was
strong and / felt better in every way
Whenever my kidneys have been al
all out Of order, Doan's Kidney Pills
have given me quick relief"

happy. Jackie was a bit angered at
