GERMANY TO LOSE.
In British circles it was reported at
the conclusion of yesterdays session
that the big four" expressed q desire
to defer settlement Of tho question I'M
til after peace is signed, the peace
treaty merely decreeing that Germany
shall lose her rights in China.
From the same sources, it was learn
ed the Chinese delegates had agreed to
consult their government as to whe-
Their this course would be satisfactory.
The Japanese, however, declared that
no such suggestion had been made to
them by the council. They further
stated that such a plan would be di-
rectly opposed to Japan's demands and
that the japanese delegation, parti-
cularly the military section, now is
firmly determined to settle the matter
at once.
WILSON READS TEXT.
Rumors were in circulation today
that the Italians have begun to
show a disposition toward accept
ing compromise of their Adriatic
claims. 1t was even limited they
would be willing to relinquish a
portion of the Dalmatian territory
they demand In exchange for an
unclouded title to Fiume. AS FL
ume, the principal port of conten-
ton, was not even contained in the
pact of London, it was believed
the other allies would not consider
such a compromise.
Wellington Koo. Chinese represen-
tative, is understood to have pointed
out in yesterdays meeting that Japan's
claims are based largely on her famous
"tWenty-on one demands" directed against
China, which he declared are hostile
to the allies. President Wilson read
the text of the demands to the council.

IRWIN MAY be cHIEF.

There is considerable speculation as
to whom Mayor Eagleson will appoint
chief of police, but it Is generally con-
coded by those who know that Charles
w. Irwin can have the place if he
wants 1t. Mr. Irwin is an old resident
Of Boise and has been quite prominent
in city and county politics, having been
a candidate for sheriff in the Demo-
cratic primaries four years ago. He is
considered well qualified for the place

PUTNAM OFFICIALS
In STATES PRISON
Only Spend the Day, However,
Looking Over the Institu-
ton

Alderman-at-large Joseph La
paine, Captain of Police John Bull
ger, Patrolman George Laird, Eugene
Mouir, Emelian Breault, Avila Anger
and Beaude Lapalme motored to
Wethersfield last Sunday and were
taken through the states prison. Be
ing Sunday there was some doubt as
to whether they would be allowed to
inspect the institution, but when the
officials found that it was part of
Putnam's city government that want
ed to get behind the barred doors
they were accommodated.
Alderman Lapalme said that they
entered the big prison and they heard
the iron barred door click behind
them. He felt very much relieved at
the thought that when they were
ready to leave that same door would
swing open to them. While the al
derman did not care to spend his va
cation at the institution, ne said he
was greatly surprised at all he saw.
According to his statement he had i'm
agined a states prison as a dark, dir
ty, gloomy place What he found he
said were neat buildings surrounded
by large lawn and gardens. Inside
it was spick and span with plenty of
light. Even the death chamber,
which he had pictured as a sort of
dungeon, was light and airy, in fact
the best room in the place, cal
though" said Joe, ''the bars were
bigger round than my wrist" There
were three chairs and a table in the
room and a set bowl with running
water II was not at all a gloomy
place for one TO look at but if the i'm
agination ran riot and one pictured
themselves confined there awaiting
the gallows, "well, that was not so
pleasant to think Of" concluded the
alderman.
From the death chamber to the
death house the party travelled. Over
the same route that unfortunates had
passed never to return. There was
the gallows and for the enlighten-
ment Of the party the trap was sprung
on dummy and all saw just how
murderers are shot into eternity that
the law may be satisfied. 1T was all
done so quick" said the alderman.

CHEESE WHEN THE
BOY GETS BACK

You have doubtless read all sorts of
jokes about the messenger boy-how
he starts out to deliver telegram
and when he returns he is wearing a
long white beard. Well, this messen-
ger boy is swift in comparison with a
lad employed in a depot restaurant
not far from Union Square. This
boy left on an errand, or so the Col
onel gave a customer to believe, and
has not yet returned, although he de-
parted on his errand years and years
ago. Being assured that the story is
a true one and as it becomes a news
papers duty to print the truth, it is
narrated here as told to a newspaper
gem who asked for one of the Col
onels restaurant experiences. We
had heard of the three oyster stews
made from one oyster and the eggless
custard pie and the disappearing gong
but the cheeseless cheese was a new
one.
"A travelling man came in here one
day." said the Colonel, land after he
had finished some ham and eggs asked
for wedge of apple pie. Having been
served he asked for piece of cheese.
Sorry, SIR | said, but the boy has
not come back yet
"This went all right" said the Col
onel, "and the man went out. A few
months later a man came in, asked
for an order of ham and eggs, and
was served. He asked for a piece of
apple pie and it was put before him.
Have you any cheese?' he asked
Sorry, sir, but the boy has not come
back yet He said he wouldn't wait
and ate the pie and departed.
again time passed and again a
man came in and asked for ham and
eggs, was served and ate the order.
He then called for piece of apple
pie. He was served He then said,
'I'll have a piece of cheese if the boy
has come back 1t was the same man
each time, and | had to admit that the
boy hadn't come back-and he hasn't
come back yet" said the Colonel with
a smile.

WARNS AGAINST
SUICIDE COCKTAIL

Because of the fact that many peo-
pie who have been accustomed to the
use of alcoholic drinks and are seek
ing for sufficiently potent substitutes
have sought to obtain the desired
effect through the use of Jamaica GIN
ger and wood alcohol, DR.. T. E. Reeks
of the bureau of preventable diseases
at the State Board of Health has is
sued a general warning against
the dangers of both wood alcohol and
Jamaica ginger taken internally, say
ing that the use of the former almost
always blinds, makes insane, or kills
the person using it. Dr. Reeks said
that fully so per cent of the people
in the stae seem to be unaware of
the dangers of using these deadly
poisons,
They might just as we'll take ar
senic as to take wood alcohol as a
drink" said DR.. Decks. lone drink
of it will lead to blindness and dilu-
ton in water or any other form of
liquid makes no difference in the
effect We want to issue broad cast
a warning to all who do not know
that they must not touch the stuff as
any sort of substitute for regular
alcoholic drinks, for they are merely
counting suicide"
DR.. Reeks said that cases of vic
tins of the effects of drinking wood
alcohol had been known to him in
New Britain and that there are at
present two people who are dying at
the Hartford Hospital as the result of
its use.
