UNsHAKEN TESTIMONY

Time is the test of truth. And Doans Kidney Pills have stood the test in Norwich. No Norwich resident who suffers backache, or annoying urinary ills can remain unconvinced by this twice told testimony.
 Mrs. Margaret Brown, $40 W. Main St, says My back and kidneys were in bad way I suffered a great deal from dull. heavy ache in my back. Ii gradually grew worse until it was almost impossible for me to get out Of bed mornings. I was in that condi- ton for nearly year, trying different medicines without help. Finally heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and got some at Sevin &5 Sons Drug Store, and I found they were just what I needed They made me feel like a different woman better than I had felt fol years. My kidneys are now acting regularly and the pains have left (Statement given July 22, 191).
 On May IS. 1916, Mrs, Brown said ''Doan's Kidney Pills certainly are ex' cellent and they do what is claimed for them At times, when a colC settles on my kidneys and causes m! back to ache, use Doan's and the. never fail to give me prompt relief 1 soc, at all dealers.

The first case of an attempt to evade the payment of fare under the new zone system was brought to the attention of the City court this morn ing, when Pliny Riggs, of West Ha- ven, was arraigned, charged with fail- ure to pay a legal fare on the New Acknowledgements line yesterday morning.

 The conductor demanded 12 cents on the grounds that the legal fare was 16 cents, and the transfer pre- scented by Riggs represented cash value of four cents. The passenger lcontsnuAd an x@EA Eaaaxa

 STARTS REAL
 COAL SAVING
All Stores and Factories in City To Close At 4
 O'clock.

Indianapolis, Nov. 24-Indtanapolis started on real coal conservation to- day. Practically every store and fac- tory in the city was expected to close at o'clock this afternoon, the clos ing hour agreed upon at 8 meeting Saturday when it was also decided to shut down all factories the last three days of this week.
 The closing rules were not made mandatory, but 1t was said they would be adopted generally. In case no settlement of the miners wage controversy has been reached in the meantime, another meeting will be held next Saturday to determine the course for the following week. The coal shortage is becoming acute in all sections of the state and other indus trial centers are watching the Indian apolis plan with keen interest. Re- ports from the coal fields are that the situation is unchanged so far as the Indiana mines are concerned.

HALT NEGOTIATIONS 10 AWAIT DECISION
 FROM DR. GARFIELD
HE IS TO DECIDE WHAT PORTION OFANY WAGE ADVANCE IS TO BE PASSED
 ON TO PUBLIC-HAVE PUT MEETING OVER DAY.

Washington, Nov. 24-Oper- atOrs and miners of the Cen traI Competitive bituminous coal field marked time today in their negotiations for a new
 wage scale while awaiting a decision by Fuel Administrator Garfield as to what portion of any wage advance should be passed on to the public. ..
 When the wage scale committees met this morning the operators ob- tained an adjournment until tomor- row at which time they expect Dr. Garfield will be prepared to make a statemen based on further investfga- ton of facts connected with the coal industry.
 Two separate proposals are before the committee. One is the offer of the operators for an increase of 20 per cent. for day work and 15 cents a ton for mining and the other is the demand of the miners for a wage in crease of 40 per cent. and~a a seven hour day.
 Operators have challenged sharply the correctness of Secretary Wilson's compromise suggestion, for a 31 per cent. advance in wages as necessary to meet the cost of living conditions. However, the miners have accepted it, providing their working day can be shortened to seven hours instead of eight, the present standard.

 West Continue To Close
FUEL SUPPLIES TO PUBLIC UTILITIES FURTHER
 CURTAILED- MINERS WAIT WAGE DECISION

Chicago, Nov. 24-Industrial plants all over the middle West continued to close down today, fuel supplies to public utilities were curtailed furth CT and regional coal committees advised individuals to save coal as the na- tion-wide strike of bituminous miners entered It's 24th day.
 The only large producing center re- porting an improvement during the last 24 hours was West Virginia, where the output in the union fields of the southern part of the state was said by the operators to be normal. z
 The operators also asserted that additional organized mines in the New River and Kanawha districts in that state were expected to open today.
 In the great bituminous fields at Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and H. linois, the miners apparently were de- termined to remain idle until a set tlement of the controversy over wages and hours is reached by the confSr- ence at Washington of operators and officials of the United Mine Workers of America.

McManus Denies Charge Says He Took Part In
 Argonne Fight.

Arrested early Sunday morning by Officers Auger, Foster and Gregory on a technical charge of breach of the peace, James McManus, of Pal
 ner, Mass, was arraigned in the city court this morning and questioned about a series of hold-ups which oc- cured late Saturday night in the Commercial house, in Water street The case was continued until We'd nesday, and bonds were fixed at S1,o00.
 According to the police version of the affair, McManus came to Bridge port Saturday night, and engaged a room in the Commercial house. He was in civilian clothes at the time, but he changed these for an army uniform while in his room.
 After donning the army regalia, AIoManus entered rooms in the hotel and at the point of revolver held up the inmates. He secured little booty, inasmuch as all of the 1odgers were "broke.' The robbery was reported to the police, and McManus was arrested on the street some time later.
 The man claims to be an ex-member of the 101st Infantry, and says that he was gassed and wounded while fighting in the Argonne forest. He enphattcaliy denied the charge that he held up the Commercial house guests, Saturday night. The case was continued until Wednesday in order that MoManus may secure his army discharge papers, and other evidence which will show him to be a man of good character.
