CONDITIONS BETTER
IN WATERBURY
Married Men Will Be Allowed to Re
turn to Work-State Troops On
Guard In Some Places.

WATERBURY, Conn, June 22-Strike
conditions here seem to have taken a turn
for the better today. Luigi Sealama, pres
ident of New England Workers asso-
citation which had been on strike 10 weeks
issued notice to the strikers that mar
ried men would be permitted to return
to work while single men must remain
out. This action is expected to decrease
the number of unemployed by many hun
dreds.
1t may have no immediate effect, how
ever, ON the strike of machinists in the
factories. The latter are now receiving
strike benefits and claim to be able to
stay out indefinitely.
There were no throngs on the street
near the factories this morning and an
| observer would not note anything out of
the ordinary except that at several places
state guardsmen were on duty.
A hospital bulletin this morning stated
| that the condition of Police Lieutenant
| Richard Leroy and of Lieutenant John J
Bergin of the Scovill Co.'S force was very
| much improved. Both men are expected
| to recover They were shot in the riot
Liberto Liso, the man alleged to have
| shot both Lieutenant of Police Leroy
and Lieutenant Bergin, denied having
shot either of the police officers in al
ante -mortem statement. He did admit
| that he had a gun and that he free
| some shots in the air. He stated the
gun was shot out of his hands Thi,
was corroborated by the fact that
bullet had shattered the little fnge
of the right hand and the handle o
his gun was broken as result of
bullet having hit it.
| Seven men alleged to have taken par
in the rioting were today charged wit
: assault with intent to murder. Bond
were fixed at $4,000 in each and a
cases were continued until Friday.

WORK OF SPONGE CATERERS
Divers Go to Great Depths to Collect
Them From the Rocks to Which
They Are Fixed.

SpOnges are Of many qualities but
the most highly priced is that of Syria,
with a cuplille shape and q yellOwish
pale color, which is found in a number
Of varieties.
The large sponge fisheries are sit
uated along the SeaskOres of Greece,
Syria and of certain parts of the Adri-
attic, as well as along the Tripoli and
TuniSian seashOres. The fishing of
sponges is effected by divers who are
let down from a boat to depths of TO-
20 and sometimes % meters, and pull
the SpOnges from the rocks to which
they are fixed. Some sponge fishermen
use long trident, but this system is
fortunately falling into disuse, since II
spoils the spOnges. In better-equipped
fishing grounds the gathering of
sponges is effected by divers provided
with diving bells or dressed in cork
jackets.
Upon being gathered the sponges are
squeezed, beaten and washed In order
to rid them of their black coating and
soft substance which gives them a
very characteristic chlorine odor.
When they begin to Written they are
subjected to a frequently renewed
solution Of sulphuric acid.

Big Saving in Heating Power.

During the daytime TIE hot water Is
circulated in the heating system Of the

Why Go to CoIIeue7

I know a young Yale graduate In
Philadelphia who is now convinced
that college education Is a bar to
wealth, "Girard" writes in the Phil
adelphia Press.
He is a clever electrician and got
a job after leaving Yale which paid
him $50 a week. In his new place he
came in contact with an uneducated
foreman who tried to persuade the
college lad to turn day laborer and
Join the union"
He was assured that in a fortnight
he could get $50 a week.
The young son of Eli stuck to his
electrical job and when wiring a build
ing in Philadelphia a boss painter told
him he could get double the $40 n
week he was then getting If he took
up the paint brush
Do You wonder that this youth who
holds his Yale sheepskin is puzzled in
figuring out JUST how college edu-
cation pays him?

Weary of the Thought of War.

The imperial war museum at the
Crystal palace in London has been al
most entirely deserted There is n
lot to be seen under the great glass
roof, hut few persons are sufficiently
interested to make a visit The long
avenues Of ornaments are seldom Wis
tied. Among 200 or 300 visitors on
one day there were only two private
soldiers. Their opinion was: at is
mournful. gloomy and uninspiring."
A Daily Mail representative who
made tour of the exhibition found
thar the majority of the people re-
garded the display in the same light
as the soldiers. A war widow and her
siXteen-vear-old daughter, with the
knowledge of how father died" shed
tears in front Of the Warspite exhibits
and then walked slowly out of the
building. 1t was pathetic incident
that moved other visitors. But IL was
only one of its kind.

PLACING CROWN ON PAeoDA
Solemn Ceremony at MandaIay That
Attracted Crowds of the Devout
Followers Of Buddha.

curious festival was held not long
ago in Mandalay, the chief town of
Burma. A new pagoda dedicated to
the Buddhist religion was TO be com
pleted by the placing of huge crown
OF thi upon its summit, more than 300
feet above the ground.
To witness the ceremony came Bud
dhistS from Indo-China, from the
Himalayas from Laos and Chan and
Siam. Warriors from KatSchin. Sorcer-
ers from Mot and people from other
places made n medley of languages
like that at Babel.
On a street corner would be seen a
barber pulling a customers tooth. On
another corner Mohammedan bird
dealer sold Gagged paroQuets to Bud
dhSts who piOuSly set them free. AT
very modern booths one could buy ice
cream, soda or tea. Mandalay was a
gorgeous spectacle and the new pagoda
was the center of it.
Every pagoda has at It's summit a
thi, or cap, the placing Of which is Of
ten a herculean task. The one now
to be raised weighed several hundred
pounds and consisted of a glided ball
and crown and a great spindle above
It,
To get it to the top an inclined plane
Of bamboo scaffolding like a huge to-
boggan slide had been built, and was
decorated with silk flags and umbrel-
las. Up the inclined plane the heavy
cap was slowly pulled. Six days
were required for the ascent and a
seventh to fastcn it in place.
