Statistical Reports For Year Show Interesting Figures
 Big Real Estate Boom.

An enormous volume of business has passed through the office of the town clerk during the year just com- ing to a close and thousands of deeds and legal documents have been re- corded during that period. In spite of the fact that the work has been unusually heavy it was all handled without additions to the clerical forces in that department.
 The death rate during the current year has been unusually low and while the report for the full month is not available it is not expected that it will pass the $50 mark. A most in terestng comparison is the report of the office for last year which shows the deaths to have totalled l 1,115. This abnormal number is due in the main to the influenza epidemic which, in itself, was responsible for about 400 deaths during the month of October, 1918. The deaths during that month, exclusive of about 5 service men who died out of the city, some of them Overseas, was 426. October, 1919, shows a tota! of 49 deaths.
 By months,s the report is:
 January, 45; February, 5s; March, Il; April, A. May. 43; June, s2; July, 3s; August, 37; September, 2s; October, 49; November, AZ; Decent Der, 46 to date.

Henry B. Wilson and Henry T.
 Mayo Join Controversy
SIDE AGAINST SECY DANIELS
Secretary of Navy Probably Will Ac- ccpt Revised Report of Knight Board After Its Convention, Janu- ary 5, He Says.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The revised report on naval decorations to be made by the Knight board after a survey of all the facts probably will be accept ed, Secretary Daniels said today. He added that he either would forward the report to the president or act for the president in accepting 1t.
 MT. Dan1els disclosed that he had received letters from Admiral Henry B. Wilson, commander of the Atlantic rect and formerly commander at Brest, and Rear Admiral Henry T. Mayo, who commanded the Atlantic heet during the war, supporting the position taken by Rear Admiral Sims and other officers with regard to Inc decorations. The letters called atten t1on to what the officials called certain inequalities in the published list and recommended that a review of particu lar cases be made
 In revising the lists of naval decora- uons to be awarded officers for their serVlces during the war, the Knight board, secretary Daniels said today. WILL De instructed to follow in general the same policy adopted by the secre- tary i'll revising the original lists
 At the same time, MT. Daniels said, the board would give full considera- ton to the views expressed by Rear Admiral Sims and other high officers who have objected to the manner in which the decorations thus far an- nounced were awarded
 The secretary added that he hoped the new recomm endations of the board could be approved by him with out amendment. The revised report either will be sent to President Will son for final action, or acted on by the secretary on behalf of the president.
 In discussing his order of last night reconvenlng the board to review cases already considered and act upon ad- dlt1onal recommendations made re- gently, MT. Daniels disclosed that Ad- mlral Henry .B. Wilson and Rear Ad- miral Henry TT Mayo had written him calling attention to what they de- scribed as inequalities in the awards recently announced.
 Admiral Wilson conmands the At lantic fleet and was in charge of American naval forces in French waters during the war. Admiral Mayo commanded the Atlantic fleet during the war and is now a mem Der of the navy general board. N- ..
 The whole subject of naval decora- tions will be investigated by a joint senate and house naval sub-commit- tee when congress reconvenes Repre- sentative Lufkin, republican, Massa- chusetts said today after a conference With members of the senate naval committee.

Records at Police Station Show
 Decrease Since July 1 . MINIONS OF LAW ACTIVE
Tabulaton of Figures Show Differ encc of 414 Since 191S-Two Men T1ghting-Many Autoists in Court.

The records at the police station for the calendar year show the wartime enforcement of prohibition has had it's effect on the work of the local patrol men, and the number of arrests for lntoXication since the war act became effective shows a marked decrease. While the figures are not availa ble fo1 the total number of itemized arrests, as the fiscal year of the police depart ment begins April 1 of each year, there are interesting figures to be seen in a tabulation of total arrests for each month for the past year and the corresponding months of 1918.
 During the months of April, May and June, before wartime prohibition became a law, the arrests for intOXi- cation were as follows: April 26; May, 24, and June, 20. After the act became effective the arrests were as follows: July, 10; August, 10 Sep tember, IA; October IA; and in Mo- vember s. These figures indicate that the decrease in arrests for this offense was 50 Der cent
 The record of total arrests for this year, up to the present time in com parison with 1918, show a decrease of 414. The list as compiled is as fol- lows:

Two Deaths From Quarrels.

During the year which is Ion it's last legs, the city has been free from much serious crime. There were two cases of quarrels that resulted in the deaths of Charles Asal and Paul Bucco. Michael Nappi,s the convicted slayer of AsaI, is serving four months sentence in the county jail, the eXtenuating circumstances with the affair, securing for the accused a light sentence In the Bucco case, Thomas Cacace, who was identified by Bucco at the New Britain General hospital on Dec. ', a short time after the affair, is in the county Jail under bonds of s3,O0O awaiting hearing in the police court on Monday morning. In connection with this affair. An thony Arbucci, was apprehended in New York last Wednesday, for his al legged part in the fight and as soon as possible will be brought here. Detec- tive Sergeant A. J. Richardson left extradition papers to secure the sig nature of Governor Smith.
 Strict Automobile Laws.
 During the past year, autoists have found the local minions of the law on the alert for violators of the laws laid down in the statutes regarding the operation of the vehicles. The arrests and convictions have been large dur ing the year. The personal tax col lector also has had a number of de- linquents haled before the court for neglect to pay their taxes.
 Several Raids.
 Several raids were executed bv the police on the temples of knights of chance", and the proprietors and fre- quenters were fined in police court later. The city is fairly free from this sort of vice but there are few of the ''tin horn'' type who are evidently getting away with something. A fortune teller paid a fine of s100 and costs in court about two months ago for alleged mulcting a customer ont of his roll.
 Last Sunday, Detective Sergea nt Richardson engin eered a raid on the saloon of William Zimatravich on getting a large quantity ofs"stuff'' be- sides three frequenters and a barten q - CT. A fine of $2O0 was imposed on the proprietor and the bartender and fre- auenters were assessed $5 and costs each.
 nelly has also found a difference in the duties of luis office since John Barleycorn passed away.

New York, Dec. 27.-Heavy imni- grafton is so taxing the facilities of Ellis Island that officials expressed doubt today whether there would be another concentration of anarchists there in the near future for deporta- tiOn.
 During the past AS hours some 5000 immigrants have arrived in port and today 1,16S were detained at the island for further examination as to their fitness for admission to this country. The personnel at the island was not large enough to handle any more, it was said.

Back To The Meadowlands.

l must go forth to the fields again
Where the meadow grass is rife,
And all | ask is some calmness
And a little ease from strife,
And a colts neigh, and the winds song,
And the grass blades shaking,
And a low note from a birds throat,
And a pink dawn breaking.
Wherein the verse maker, in other
years and out of the desire of his
heart, pretty accurately outlined the
program for American farmers in the
good, peaceful year of 1919. The
strife is passed. The calmness is
come. And now the call is for a re-
turn to grass meadows and pasture
lots and live stock.
