HARTFORD TROLLEYMEN
FAVOR ZONE SYSTEM
Largely Attended Meeting of
Union Held-Business Agent
O'Meara Talks.

Hartford, Nov. THAT the trolley
men on the Hartford division of the
Connecticut Company lines are going
to do everything possible to put over"
the zone system was shown by meet
ing of their union, at the close of day
which saw the first real test of the sys-
TEN and which was unduly trying for
many of the company's employees. En-
p1oyees of factories were delayed by the
new method of collecting fares, strings
of cars were stalled many times during
the day, but as whole the system was
accepted with general good spirit by a
public somewhat doubtful of its success.
The meeting of the trolleymen was
was large and the operation of the
zone system received much attention,
few members registering disapprova1,
which did not represent the opinion of
the great majority.
1t is not up to our association to
say how the company should collect its
fares" Frank O'Meara, business agent
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railroad Employees,
said at the close of the meeting. "The
company's interest is naturally our in
terest as we'll If the company prospers
financially our position will also be i'm
proved. theoretically, all trolleymen
agree that the zone system is the really
just system of collecting fares. There
may be certain notifications and i'm
provements, but we hope it is success
full. Once the public is accustomed to
the. new system we feel that it will
work we'll" -
Mr.. O'Meara said that the zone col
lections during the first day proved
more successful than he had antici-
pated. The company, he said lis intro
ducing the system as an experiment
which trolleymen hope will be success
as they realize that the company has a
financial problem, which if not met, will
prove as injurious to the employees as
to the company. Only couple of troll
leymen resigned yesterday, he said,
rumors to the contrary, and in these
cases they lost their heads" and let the
difficulty of operating the system get
away from them.
ITS hard to teach an old dog new
tricks" a veteran motorman- remarked
He added later that the zone system is
nine days wonder, which he believes the
public will soon accept, when it will
work without inconvenience either to
the trol1eymen or the public.

Much of the interest in the 5Oth an
nual convention of the Connecticut
Woman Suffrage association to be held
in Bridgeport, November IL, Is and Ia
is centering around three leading
events, the republican dinner the mass
meeting and the founders luncheon.
The first of these events, the republi-
can dinner, will occur on Wednesday
evening when ex-President William
Howard Taft will make his initial
speech before suffrage gathering. Mr..
Taft will use as his topic the general
subject arranged for the dinner, THE
Responsibility of the Party in Power in
Connecticut Toward Woman Suffrage"
He will present reasons why he believes
the republican party in Connecticut
should support and work for ratification
of the federal suffrage amendment.
1t is within comparatively recent
time that Mr.. Taft has announced his
stand on the woman suffrage question.
In a statement concerning his attitude
he has said:
There are two reasons why I be-
lieve in woman suffrage. First-1 was
a member of the Labor Adjustment
Board, and in going through the coun-
try was amazed at the injustice with
which women are treated. l saw that
edy was by gaining part in the gov
eminent.
THE other reason is this: The League
of Nations is a thing very near my
heart. / have found many men who for
selfish reasons would reject the league,
would even go into another war, but
never a woman. Women stand for all
that is big and kind in international af-
fairs"
Other important speakers at the din
ner will be Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns of
Chicago, who is chairman of the re-
publican women's state executive COM
mittee of Illinois, and Hon. Schuyler
Merritt of Stamford, who is the u. S.
congressman from the Fourth district.
Both Mrs. Dobyns and Mr.. Merritt will
also explain what they believe is the
duty of the republican party in Connec-
ticut toward woman suffrage.

circus everyone loves. AS "Jinx" the
pathetic little slavey of the circus whose
one ambition is to emulate the dance of
Rory Bory Alice" the astoundingly
agile exponent of the famous Fiji
Fling" Mabel Normand is a figure
that will live long in the memory of
those who see the picture. Miss Nor
mand's remarkable talents for Glowing
and her personal magnetism find par
ticularly true expression in the excruci-
ating1y funny scene in which she sub
stitutes for Rory Bory Alice and with
the success of the show depending on
her stumbles and falls oyer the ring in
her frantic efforts to emulate Alice.
There is no question but the public will
flock to see Mabel for they are always
assured in advance of getting their
moneys worth and then some. The
ture another episode of the thrilling
serial "The Midnight Man," and the
other usual features. In connection with
the screening of "Jinx" the first three
days of the week there will be an all
star vaudeville bill headed by the Four
Bards, the ORIGINAL troupe of hand BAL
ancers who have been at the top of the
profession in their line for many years.
The special feature of the bill will be
the Three Manning Sisters one of the
best singing trios that has ever appear
ed in vaudeville and the added feature
viii be Romano Powers and Delmore,
another trio but offering vastly differ
ent sort of an act from the Manning
Sisters. Other acts on the bill include
Remington and Russell and the Detmar
Girls and the whole makes a mighty
fine vaudeville bill. There will be con-
tinuous performances daily from to II
and on Sunday night two complete
showings will be made.

THE BLJOU.

Mabel Normand in coming to the
Bijou this Sunday night and the three
days following and that always means a
never ending line for Mabel Normand is
without doubt the most popular female
comedienne on the screen and you
know that if you saw Mickey" and
Upstairs and Down" Her new pic
ture to be shown is "Jinx" and it is a
classic of the big top. 1t is broad com
dy-Normandesque comedy, the kind
that is well tinged with the pathos and
romantic sentiment that must necessar-
lily be incorporated into perfectly bal
anced, production. Bijou patrons will
find the treat of their lives in the init
mate and humorous glimpses of the cir
Gus performers shown in link" The
temperamental Hula Hula dancers, the
trapeze artists, the clown Jazbo, the
wild man who in his spare moments
doubels as a gate tender; and all the
marvels of the sawdust ring tend to
surround "Jinx" with the glamor of the

THE PALACE.

To the average theater goer there
could hardly be more attractive COM
bination than a Rex Beach picture
starring Alice Joyce and this is just
what will be offered at the Palace on
Sunday evening, Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday when The Vengeance of
Durand" is presented as the screen fea-
ture.
For jealousy is the rage of man !;
therefore he will not spare in the day of
vengeance" these are the words that in
spired this great story by Rex Beach,
high favorite among American makers
of fiction. To a certain extent "The
Vengeance of Durand" differs from the
usual run of Rex Beach stories mas
much as it goes deeper into the social
spheres of the higher society than is
usually found in this authors writings.
The manner in which certain complex
questions are treated by the author in
this gripping story prove how we'll Rex
Beach is acquainted with his subject
There is a strength of purpose a real
ism in its pen pictures and tenseness in
its more important scenes that prove
undoubtedly the great versatility of
Rex Beach's ability as a writer.
The special added screen feature for
the Sunday evening program will be
Kitty Kelly, M D." with Bessie Bar
riscale playing leading role that is
screen production.
Pat Rooney has blossomed forth as
producer and his first effort will be pre-
sented as the main attraction of the
Palace vaudeville bill for Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. The title is
Songs Old and New" and there are
II people in the company. Other acts
will be: Lima Anger and the Curtis
Boys in a blended me1ange; Billy Hall
and Thelma Brown in skit, For She's
a Travelling Man; Maud and Marion
Dunn in "The Lady Auburn and the
Duchess Bonepart," and the Musical
Parshelys in instrumental music.
The mid week change will bring Nata-
lie, Ferrari and her company in an ex-
hibition of ultra classic and modern
offering of Mercy, SIENNA and Lee.
Homer Hilon and company will be seen
in the sketch, "The Rough Neck"
Local theater goers will be much
more than ordinarily interested in the
appearance on this bill of Fredia Mendel
and George Moore in a little vaudeville
oddity Leave That to Me" Miss Men
del is New Haven girl and well known
here as vocalist of fine attainment
and rare ability, The fact that she is
to appear at the Palace after two re-
markedly successful seasons during |
which she has toured the United States |
will be welcome news to the host of |
friends of the pretty singer.
James and Eta Mitchell show that a |
great amount of fun can be obtained |
through the use of ladder, providing, |
of course, if one knows just how to do |
it.
The screen feature for the last three |
days of the week is "The Perfect |
Lover" picture of much romantic |
strength presented by a very capable |
cast headed by Eugene OBrien one of |
the most popular among the younger |
screen stars
