CARPENTER AND JOE BECKETT WOULD

There aren't any pugs walking
around this u, S. A. today with chips
on their shoulders. waiting for Demp-

bearers before y, knocked Willard

Right now two European fighters
would be drawing cards II sent
against the new heavyweight champ
These birds are Georges Carpcntier
French ring idol and Joe Beckett,
English heavyweight.
Judging from comment OF soldier
boxing fans recently returned from
abroad neither one OF these fighters
would stand much Of chance with
Dempsey.

young enough to still be in his prime,

Mass Meeting in New Haven.

New Haven, Aug. S.-Strike cOndi- tions among the shopmen of the New Haven railroad in Connecticut were without special incident this forenoon. So many trains had been cancelled on the main and branch lines that larger stations were scarcely more lively than on Sundays. Traffic had been notice- ably interrupted to the discontinue of thousands of VacatiOniSts and com muters. The upset of train schedules suddenly thrust a large volume of business on the Southern New Eng land Telephone company and it's toll lines were almost congested for a time. Subscribers in small places which had not received the morning papers containing notices of cancella- tion of trains, used the wires to get information. In remoter places there were rumors of more extended strikes than exist and non-arrival of trains awakened curiosity. Some of the larger towns found themselves with little or no mail service. At Winsted, for example, stoppage of three trains on the Central New England road and three over the New Haven road left that community with but a single mail train for the day.
 In this city the 2,0O0 or more shop men had a morning mass meeting Elsewhere, it was understood, various locals of the crafts represented in the ShOpmen group were to have meetings to perfect organization. Aside from Verlfication of the operating schedule of trains made up after a list of can- cellations had been issued al last mid night, there was little information available at the offices of the New Ha- ven road here. Report of a wreck at East Derby was based on deraiiment of several freight cars at i a. m., the track being cleared at 6 o'clock with small material damage.
 It was said at the office of the Hartford and New York Transporta- tion Co.,, at noon today that while the curtailment in railroad service had not yet been reflected in heavier steamboat freight and passenger traf- f1c, it would undoubtedly become evil dent tonight. The company antici- pated a congestion of freight for the straight Hartford-to-N New York haul if the strike continues any length of time.
 A leading marketman today assert

Twenty Passenger Trains Taken of.

Waterbury, Aug. S.-The railroad situation caused by the strike de- clared by repair and platform men ot the New Haven railroad is causing great concern here. Twenty paSs"n- ger trains operating in the local dis trict have been taken off the schedule and a general embargo on all out going freight has been declared.
 For the first time in years postal carriers left the local office this morning with only last nights late mail. Metropolitan dailies arrived in the city after S:30 o'clock. The fac tory officials are storing their prod ucts in the hope that the embargo will not continue. Practically all of them admit that Waterbury will be entirely isolated from the industrial world in case of a continuance of the

Suburban Service Cut.

a Boston, Aug. S.-Annulment of suburban passenger service on the pBoston & Maine and New Haven lines on account of the shopmens strike interrupted rapid transit between 50 clues and towns and this city today The Boston & Albany road also af- fected by the strike, started it's su- purban business as usual but officials said it might have to be curtailed later.
 > Upwards of 10000 mechanics em- ployed in shops, roundhouses and terminals in Massa chusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Con- necticut, who struck yesterday expect ed to be joined by several thousand others today. The shopmen and me- chanics demand from 66 cents an hour to S5 cents with an increase for helpers from 45 cents to SO.
 Thousands of commuters who cus- tomarily use the trains were com pelled to travel by trolley today re- sulting in confusion, congestion and general traffic delays.
 Mail distribution to suburban points was carried on by automobiles.
 Besides the cancellation of Subur- ban trains, scheduled stops of all through trains on the New Haven and the Boston x Maine roads were Sus- pended in the affected zones and sev- eral through trains were taken from their runs. Parlor and dining car service of the New Haven system was discontinued on all trains except the

ed, when asked what effect the strike might have on the food situation that there was enough beef in cold storage in New England to supply the section for six weeks.
 It was said at the office of Super intcndent C. A. Mitchell of the Hart ford division, today, that 34 trains coming in and going out of Hartford had been discontinued because of the strike. As this is the height of the holiday season and thousands of Hart ford people are accustomed to go the shore bv train the discontinuance of trains will have wide effect on Nac&- ton plans.

to starved nerves, Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists bitro- phosphate, which is sold by Clark x Brainerd in New Britain and most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro phosphate should pro- duce welcome transformation in the ap- pearance; the increase in weight fre- quently being astonishing.
 Increase in weight also carries with 1t a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thnness should disappear, dull eyes ought to brighten, and pale cheeks agIow with the bloom of perfect health. Miss Georgia Hamilton, who was once thin and frail, reporting her perience, writes: "Bitro-Phosphate has brought about a magic transformation with I gained 15 pounds and never before felt well "
 CAUTION:- Although bitro- o-phosphate is sleepiessness and general weakness, 1t should not. owing to it's tendency to in crease weight, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh

One of the big type engines was de- railed near Midway soon after mid night and it took all day to clear up the wreck. The car inspectors who were ordered out received instructions to continue work and are on duty.

Hartford, Aug. S.-Only about 25 additional New Haven road workers employed in the East Hartford shops had joined the 119 who went out yes- terday, up to noon today. About $50 are at work and a report from the shops this morning was that these men would probably stick. They are mostly repair men.

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are contin- nally being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy. developing arms neck and bust. and replacing ugly holows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of and women who lSeenly feel their excessive thinness.
 Thinness and weakness often due
