pected to arrive in Bridgeport late
to check up on the appraisal that is
being made at the Connecticut,
Eckart Bros. and the Home products
breweries that were seized by Fed
era1 Prohibition Enforcement agents
a week ago last Thursday when it
was alleged that all three of the
brewerieS were making beer that
averaged one and five per cent. more
than that allowed by the Volstead
Act. Meanwhile agents of the local
internal revenue office continue to
guard the breweries in the interests
of the government Chief William

New Britain Firm
May Buy Holdings

Company of New Britain was about
to acquire Mr.. Walkers interests in
New Hartford, but declared there was
a possibility that Landers, Frary &
Clark, also of New Britain, might do
SO.
"A representative of Landers. Frary
& Clark has called on me regarding g
the property" said Mr.. Jewell. "and,
after I gave him the information re-
quested, he simply said he had learned
about all he wanted to know. 1 take
this indication that Landers,
Frary & Clark may be about to buy
the property"
Mr.. Jewell added that for long
time Mr.. Walker has been anxious to
dispose of his New Hartford holdings.
These embrace the Greenwoods Mill
property, valuable water power privi-
Ieges and 4S dwellings, practically all
empty.
Local interest in the situation is
particularly commemorative the ques-
tions as to whether the gas service
will be continued by Landers F'rary
& Clark, should that company buy
out Mr.. Walker. and. if it does not,
whether Mr.. Walker will allow the
consumers to continue operating the
gas plant.

New York, Aug. 30-More than

to business, today were reduced to
improvised conveyance by the strike
of company employees that virtually
paralyzed the entire transit system
The strike went into effect early
Sunday morning after the men had
previously voted to postpone action
pending further attempts to adjust
wage demands.
Although earrings on the strike sit
uation We're called by Lindley M. Gar
rison, receiver for the company, and
by Mayor Hy1an, there apparently
was little hope of ending the strike
today. Mr.. Garrison sent a request to
companies in New Jersey, Connecticut
and Massachusetts, to send as many
buses as possible to help relieve the
situation.
Commissioner of Plants and Struc-
lures Whalen assembled a, feet of sew
era1 hundred cars, carrying approx
n1ately 10000 passengers at a. single
trip. TIE fare was five cents.
Six steamboats, and two of tie citys
police boats carried Passengers from
Coney Island and East river points.
In Manhattan a number of thor
oughfares were made one way streets

Seen-Many Wounded
Admitted to Hospitals.

Belfast Aug. 30-Today's riotirs
was said by the police to be the worst
Belfast has seen. Up to 1 o'clock this
afternoon it was definitely known that
four deaths had occurred as a result
of the disorders. These included Grace
Orr, who was shot when troops open
ed fire to clear a street in the Unionist
quarter.
Numerous persons with bullet

the combatants in York street and
kept them apart. There We're nu-
merous baton charges by the police.
The military held York street with
armored cars at midday.
A girl in a green blouse headed
the Sim Fein attack in York street
keeping a dozen yards ahead of her
nearest male companions.
Before 2 o'clock the deaths were
increased by the shooting of a small
boy by a sniper.

cal agency of the Library Bureau,
whose body was found near Ware
house Point yesterday, nearly a year
after he had disappeared from Dr.
Edwin S. Wallis sanftarium in Enfield,
where he was a patient, will go to
his grave with ftne secret which was
the direct cause of his DEATH ! This
information was made known yester-
terday by Captain Robert T. Hurley
of the state police, who had worked
for a long period on the case and who
claimed that facts of vital importance
in clearing up the mystery were with
held by DR.. Vail, probably for ethical
reasons. at a time when more head
way could have been made in reach
ing a solution.
Captain Hurley pointed out yester-
day that after an investigation of the
circumstances at the institution he had
reached the conclusion that Crowell
had male away with himself. This

New Hartford, Aug. S0-New Hart
ford is vita1ly interested in the ques-
ton of the gas ~situation after Sep
tember 1, the date of expiration of
the agreement whereby Harry w.
Walker, the Bridgeport icee king
agreed, in June to the opera ton of
the plant sby about seventy local citi-
zens who are dependent upon the
plant, the only one in town, for gas
in their homes and place of business
There is also much local interest in
the apparently well founded reports
that Ianders, Frary & Clark of New
Britain will soon buy all the local
holdings of Mr.. Walker, which, if
operated, would necessita te about
1000 employees. This number would
double the population of the town
The local residents made their gas
agreement with Mr.. Walker after*- the
after announced he would discon-
tinue operation of the gas plant after
July 1 because it was losing finan-
cial venture. The New Hartford resi-
dents then took the matter to the
public utilities commission.
Frederick A. Jewell. counsel for Mr.
Walker, said today that the citizens
had taken no action as TO the situation
facing them. Mr.. Jewell denied ru-

UNDERWOOD Will
EMPLOY 1000

G. w. Campbell, factory man
ager of what will be known as the
Underwood Typewriter Plant Number
on Broad street. when seen by a
Times representative yesterday said
that it was impossible to tell just
when manufacturing operations
would commence. Probably not for
several weeks. AS the Bullard people
were engaged in making an entirely
different product it will be necessary
to refit the works entirely before the
building of typewriters can COM
mence. This work has not been be-
gun yet by the contractors.
The entire plant will be devoted to
the making of the Underwood por-
table typewriter which weighs COM
plete, six and one-half pounds. The
Underwood people having been man
ufacturing this machine for some
seven or eight months. Congestion
at the main plant of the company in
Hartford and such a rush of orders
that it was impossible to keep up
with them caused the opening of the
branch plant.
When maximum production is
reacher possibly in Is months from
now, Mr.. Campbell estimates that
about a thousand hands will be en-
ployed of which thirty per cent. will
be women. Most of these employees
will be secured here as 1t is not like
ly that much beside supervisory help
will be brought from Hartford.

SHAW GAINS
IN Fight ON
NOMINATION
Especial to The Times }

Redding, Aug. 3O-In a straight out
contest S. c. Shaw scored victory at
the recent Republican cancus. thereby
gaining an essential point in his fight
for the senatorial nomination of the
Gath district. The opposition made UP
mostly of Georgetown and West Red
ding residents, could muster not quite
30 votes against the 40 cast by the
Shaw supporters. At the instance Of
Shaw those wh ose names had not been
enrolled on the primarily registry lists
were challenged upon attempting to
vote, the first time such a test was
ever applied at a local caucus. The
result was the exclusion of a few
votes, but these reflections made no de-
cisive difference. The delegates chosen
are L. c. Rumsey, George . Williams,
L. S. Warner, and E. A. Pinkney. The
opposition ticket, openly proclaimed
as anti Shaw, consisted of Hull Bar
tram, Roy Flewellyn, Charles L. Hob
pan and Charles Favereau With no
dissenting votes the ca ucus adopted a
motion instructing the delegates to
support Shaw in its convention.
Some of those prominent in the
caucus opposition announced that
their hostility was due to Shaw's ac-
ton in speaking and voting for the
Prohibition amendment when the
question of its ratification was before
the lower house of the General AS
sembly two years ago. Last spring his
opponents declared that they were
against him because he was associa te d
with the Ridge crowd whose alleged
dictatorial methods deserved, they
said, rebuke from the other sections
of the town. Probably each of these
causes has had a share in stirring UP
one of the most interesting squabbles
that has ever agitated local Republi-
cans

CODICIL LEFT
HER $500 INCOME

That an agreement made before her
wedding in February, 1896, entities
her to an income of s400 a year from
the estate of her husband, Aaron B.
Sherwood, is the claim of Mrs. EN-.
ma B. Sherwood, in a suit filed in
the Common Pleas court against her
son, Henry c. Sherwood and others
of Darien. She further claims that a
codicil in his will left her an in
come of $400 a year but which she
has been deprived of by the executors
of the will. The plaintiff states that
before their marriage in 1896, her
husbtnd promised her the income OF
$400 a, year in case of his death. The
case is returnable to the September
term.

MERRITT MAKES
ACTIVE CANVASS

Attorney A. J. Merritt is making an
active canvass for the Republican
nomination for Judge of Probate and
his friends believe that he will be the
nominee.
On the other hand the friends of
Judge Paul Miller state that the as
tute politicians who are seeking the
City court positions next year are
making a, goat of Attorney Merritt.
1t is alleged Judge Bartlett has al
ready said that he will not be candi-
date for the City court judgeship at
the next legislature and most of the
Republican lawyers of the city are
willing to succeed him.
Merritt had expressed a willing
ness to sit on the City Court bench
and some of the other candidates Of
fered to back him for the position of
Judge of Probate in return for his
support for the City Court berth, and
he has agreed to the deal.
Judge Miller's friends say that
these men know Merritt has no
chance of getting the probate plum
but the deal automa tically elimin tes
him from the running in the City
Court matter.
