LEADERS PUNCHED IN ROGUE TOURNEY

Gerald Brassill, local leading roque expert defeated George Huot in a long game on the local courts on Thursday evening in the national tournament thus landing him within striking dis tance of the national championship Huot, c. G. Williams of Washington and Brassill have cad lost two games, but Huot is out ina front, as he has played one more game than the run and lost two, while Williams and Brassill have each won six games and lost two.
 In Thursday nights game 'Brassili got away to a good start and made several arches before Huot got well under way. Huot did not play his usual strong game and was rather weak on his long open shots. Huot got going in good style when just about to round the stake, missed an easy shot near the cage which cost him the game and may have prevented him from winning the championship.
 c. G. Williams. southern champion and many times national champion, was handled rather roughly by his fellow Washington opponent, Judge l.. c. Williamson, who did not give him a look into the game and shut him out spelling his chance of swinging into the lead Judge Williamson play ed a careful, heady game and shot with great accuracy.
 In the second division play J. c. Walton swung into first place with six games won and one lost. Talbot is a close second with five to his credit and two chalked up against him. There was no play in the third division on Thursday.
 Among those present at the tourna- ment Thursday was Winner Atkinson of Philadelphia, father of roque" in the Quaker City. MT. Atkinson is founder and editor of the Farm Jour mol, publication of over a million circulation. MT Atkinson, although not personally known to many in this section, is a friend of many here through his editorials. He is one of the men that put Philadelphia on the roque map and is president of the Quaker City Roque club, which is represented in the present tourney by eigEf members. MT. Atkinson hasn't played in a roque tournament in years but has lost none of his ability with the mallet and only regrets that he did not arrive in time to enter. The match between c. c. King of Chicago and George Huot of Chicopee Falls for the first Van Wickle medal vas postponed until tonight. During the evening McCord's orches- tra furnished music. Tonight will be watermelon night. which will attract a large crowd.

LESS MILK USED IN
 EASTERN CONNECTICUT.

Miss Charlotte Molyneaux Holloway, industrial investigator of the state bureau of labor has returned to Hart ford from an investigation of condi- tions among the factory operatives in towns in the eastern part of the state.
 She finds there has been a consid- erable reduction in the quantity of milk used by families, owing to the increase In the cost. In some instances the reduction has been from two quarts to a pint. There has also been a substantial reduction in the quantity of butter and eggs used by families, due to high prices.
 The attention of the bureau has been directed to the reports that the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company had appointed wo- men to take the places of switch ten ders, conductors and brakemen. She finds the reports to be without founda- : ton and that the employment of wo- men in railroad work is confined to the position of gate tender and clerical positions in offices.

ton, and wounded Herman Chapman at the same time so that Chapman died some time later at the Backus hospital in spite of the utmost efforts that were made to save his life.
 Salsberry recently escaped from the jail here by saving out a bar from window in the cell corridor came just in time to make it look as if there would be no need to call in the grand jury at the coming term of the court, but his recapture last Tuesday makes certain that the man can be presented at this term.
 The picture of Salsberry shown herewith is the one which Sheriff Sid- ney A. Brown sent out in a general warning for all police authorities to look out for the fugitive. It Is made from a photograph in which Salsberry was wearing a hat but the hat was cut out of the picture. Salsberry is bad headed so that the picture would look very much as he does when his lat is off.
 The day after SalsbeTy escaped jaiTer Oscar H. Main made a search
 to find the cell bar that the prisoner had sawed out and found it hidden in a bed in an empty cell off the cor ITOIl WHICH OoiSDc1IN anu LlIS negro Albert R. Wells escaped to- sether
 While held by the police authorities in Manchester where he was first taken after he was captured, Wells told that the bar had been cut through with a fragment of a saw that was found among some waste 1 that these two prisoners were sorting over. No trace Of the saw fragment

,PAsToR-AcroR AT
 AUDIToRiuMsTHEATRE

as .t .-
 Robert Downing, who has deserted the pulpit for year for the stage, in order, as he says in little speech he makes before the curtain. to preach the lesson of temperance, play. ed the lead on Thursday night at the Auditorium theatre in Ten Nights in Barroom, and did it with a. talent that made a powerful impression upon the good sized audience,
 Cast as the town drunkard whose slavery to the drink habit brings wreck to his home and the death of his lit- tie daughter at the moment he is in the spasms of defrium tremens, MT. Downing made the part a living one before his audience, and was equally strong in the contrast that was pre- scented by the reformed man, Rev. Mr. Morgan. whose saving VOW was made at the deathbed of his daughter.
 There was a capable supporting cast that included Elizabeth Conrad as his wife, Florence Conrad as the little daughter, who did notably fine work
 Arthur Fox as the city gambler and blackleg and Frank Howard as the town sport furnish some of the trage- dy of the play, while Bert E. Melville made much of the character of the tipping constable, who was not so much of fool as he appeared at times. All three were heard in pleas ing solo selections. Frank Base fur nished the typical tavern proprietor, who once had been the village miller, but had deserted that calling and be- comes degraded by his associations.
 This play at the Auditorium is the first in a plan that the management has of putting on first class plays for part of each week, probably the last three days or one night stands. For the last three days of next week the booking is A Little Girl in a Big City.

F. p. BENT FIGHTING
 FOR CONGRESS NOMINATION,

Francis P. Bent, formerly of this city, who is one of the democratic candidates for congress in the Third district in the city of New York, is having a warm fight over the nomi- nation.
 Charges that many of the subscrih- ing witnesses who collected signatures to Bent's petitions were residents of assembly districts not within the Third congressional district were made by friends of John MacCrate, the repub- lican who is running in the democratic and republican primaries on an all American support of the president" platform. It was also alleged that many of the witnesses were employees of the city giving their business ad- dress as the municipal building.
 It does not constitute violation of the election law for subscribing witness to live outside the district in which the candidate concerned runs. The MacCrate supporters made public the situation. however, in order to back up their argument that Bent is unpopular among the democrats in the district in which he is running.
