GREAT BRITAIN LEADS ALLIES IN
 GETTING DYES

London, Fee. 1s-Great Britain is well ahead of her allies in obtaining German dyes, of which 800 tons have already reached this country.
 The committee of dye users which has gone to Germany under the au- thority of the board of trade to pur- chase 100000 pounds of dyestuffs includes representatives of the board, as well as expert users engaged in the cotton and woolen textile and the paint and varnish trades. They are ten in number, and will devote a fort night to selecting the co1ors~most ur- gently required here. Their pur- chases would be in addition to the i 1,500 tons to which Great Britain is l entitled under the reparation clauses ! of the peace treaty.
 From a census of stocks of dyes in 1 Germany 1t has been ascertained that
 there were about 22,o0O tons, of which 1 $500 are. due to the allies. The re-
 mainder, a/er the British quota, will l be distributed to users in the United
 States, France, Belgium and Italy.

AN INCREASE OF i 1,511 TELEPHONES
 IN JANUARY

An increase of 1,511 telephones dur ing January in the territory served by the Southern New England Tele- phone Company is shown in the monthly development statement of that company made public today. This is a greater net gain than was shown during any month in the past year, during which a total of 8,S95 tel ephons were added to the. public'S ser- vice in this state.
 The figures for the past month in- dicate not only a continuation of the excellent business expansion of the company. but show an even larger demand for telephones than existed at any time in 1919.
 The net gains in some of the princi- pal cities during January follow: New Haven 347, Hartford 330, Waterbury 124, Bridgeport Ill, Meriden S5, Stam- 1 ford 65 Norwa.lk 51, Bristol 50, New l London AT, Middletown B, Ansonla- Derby B, Norwich 32, -Danbury 31, New Britain 29. The balance of the
 months gain is scattered among the other 65 Exchanges about the state. 1 Telephone operating facilities which
 were severely taxed by sickness and 1 through the period of the recent storm
 are assuming normal condition and
 the company is making every effort
 to meet the greater demand for its service which comes from the large and constant increase in the number 1 of telephones in use.
 In some of the cities where the bus liness development has been heaviest i the company intends to enlarge its operating forces and is seeking young women to learn the fascinating oc- lcupation of telephone operating.

Miss Beatrice Harriet of 284 Cedar Street, New Haven, Says the Fine Results Her Mother Obtained from Cinot Convinced Her So She Gave It a Trial.

My mother had such a happy ex- perience with CINOT that I was con- vinced of it's merit so gave it a. trial" said Miss Harriet. About a, year ago I began to have severe pains in the small of my back with blinding head aches. I would get so dizzy that I could not raise my head from the bed for some times several hours. I began to lose weight and had dark circles under my eyes and was ex- tremely nervous and had been talk ing treatment for. some time with very poor results. Three bottles of CINOT have made me entirely well and I cannot say too much for this valuable remedy
 CINOT IS FOR SALE AT HARTI- CANS DRUG STORES, s1 Fairfield avenue and Main and Congress streets, Bridgeport.

NEW HAVEN
 NEWSPAPERS
 STOP PRINTING
Publishers Agree to Sus pend When Walkout De- pletes Three Compos-
 ing Rooms.

New Haven, Feb. 13-ThfS city was newspaperless last night for the first time in it's history and will continue, apparently, for 24 hours at least. ta get it's local news only via New Yorfz, Hartford, Boston and other far-away pN.ces from which newspapers come here by fast mall.
 Four newspapers, the Register, Union and Times-Leader, afternoon, Journa1-Courier, morning, at 8 meet ing of the publishers yesterday noon decided to suspend publication tenn porarily due to a wa1kout of printers in the composing rooms of the after noon papers.
 The waIkut, which the publishers insist is virtually strike, began about @ week ago. when a few men resigned. It reached a crisis yesterday when the selves without force sufficient to print.
 The walkout, which the publishers the printers, when a request was made recently for an increase in wages. The publishers, who have a contract with the local Typographical Union extending until May. 1921, call
 ing for a minimum wage of $50 per week, refused to depart from those terms.
 Since then one-third to one-half of the printers on the afternoon newSpa- pers have withdrawn their cards from the local union and left to obtain sit nations elsewhere at increased wages The remainder resigned a few at g time. The Morning Journal-Couriel force remained almost intact, it i: said.
 The publishers yesterday decided tc offer the printers remaining a bonu: of $3 weekly and to begin at once payment of an additional $1 week.! they had agreed to pay May 1. A few I of the afternoon men reported fol work today under this arrangement and later, it is said, following a visi l of members of the craft who refused | to accept these terms, left their work The printers had agreed anon: l themselves, the publishers assert t. l accept nothing less than a bonus o i $6 weekly over their minimum con l tract wage and the "resignations' l amount in reality to a strike. i President Scott of the I. T. U. a Indianapolis, according to the pub | fishers, te1egraphed late yesterday t. the local Typogra phical Union Presi dent instructing him to order the mel back to work and agreed to send al I I.

heavy fighting, the ninth infantry was entirely successful in driving back the Germans and taking the ob- jectives assigned to it. It paid dear however, for it's losses totaled 1856 or more than one man out of every three. For it's work at Soissons the regiment was awarded the Croix de Guerre with gold star, which. now adorns it's regimental colors.
 After few weeks in a rest area spent drilling recruits sent to replace it's losses, the ninth infantry took part in the St. Mihiel drive, where it captured 1900 prisoners and large number of cannon, locomotives, mo- tof vehicles, and machine gurs.
 From St. Mihiel, with little time to rest, the regiment was sent to Blanc Mont in the Champagne district of France, where it was again victorious with heavy losses. Thence it went into the Argonne fighting.
 At one time the regiment advanced so far and so fast that there were Germans not only in front of it, but on both sides and behind.
 When fighting ended with the sign ing of the armistice, the regiment had since March more than it's com plete quota both of men and officers in killed, wounded, and missing; 584 killed, 3,796 wounded and 191 miss ing. Hardly man or officer of the original membership of the regiment had escaped unscathed.

Ninth Infantry Has Been Made
 Texas Outfit

Camp Travis, Tex, June 8 The ninth United States infantry, now stationed here, has been allotted Tex partment, and under the present plans of the department is expected to recruit it's personnel entirely from the Lone Star state. The fact that the ninth infantry was stationed in Texas at various places on the Mex ican border prior to the world war is regarded as one reason why Texas was allotted to the regiment as it's "native heath."
 The ninth infantry's record in the world war is fine one. As part of the second division, the regiment first went under fire in March, 1918, when it took over from the French a ''quiet sector" which soon became a very active sector. The Germans knowing American troops had come into the front line, welcomed them with heavy artillery fire, and soon attempted a surprise attack. More than 800 Germans attacked at night. and at first succeeded in breaking thru the American lines. The ninth infantry, however, came back strong. and drove the Germans out with loss es more than twice as great as the raiding party had inflicted.
 The regiments first heavy fighting came when it was ordered to Chateau Thierry district early in June, 1918. At that time of course, the Germans drive toward Paris was in full swing and many believed it would succeed. American troops, however, stopped the German advance in the Chateau Thierry district, and the ninth in fantry took an active part in this re- sistance. After about five weeks of fighting, series of engagements of varying size and importars,e+! the regiment was relieved July 10. It had lost TAO men killed, wounded or missing ,and expected to be sent to rest area for some weeks.
 A week later, however, the ninth was again ordered to the front, and, by forced night march through rain and mud, reached the vicinity of Soissons in time to go into action at dawn. In two days of extremely

Magee Denies He
 Intended to Bet
 Against His Club

Cincinnati, June 8.--Lee Magee, on the witness stand in the U. s. district court late today in his suit against Chicago National League club, testi- fled that he and Hal Chase, former first baseman for the Cincinnati Na- tionals, bet on the first game of a double header which the Cincinnatai club played with Boston on July 25, 1918.
 Magee said he and Chase had bet $500 on the Cincinnati team to win the game. After the game Magee testified he learned that the money had been secretly bet against the Cincinnati team and therefore refused to pay the bet, stopping payment on the cheek which he had given
 The testimony of President William Voeck of the Chicago club was similar to that part of Heydler's relative to Magee's midnight confession
 John Heydler, president of the Ma tional league, testified that aMgee came to him and President Week. of the Chicago club on February 10, 1920, and confessed.
 "Magee's confession to me and Pres ident Week." Heydler said, twas given at midnight on February 10, 1920, in a room in Chicago hotel. He told us that he wanted to make clean breast of the whole thing, and to get himself back in the game"
 Heydler said Magee told him and V +L,t Hal Choca boI tooapf d 'him to gamble on the game and that Chase had forced money on him.
 "Magee said that at Boston, Chase came to him and told him the game was fixed. Heydler testified, "The pitcher was in the deal, Magee de- clared that he was informed by Chase.
 "Magee told us that he played d miserable game of ball and tried to toss it to Boston. He said that he made wild throws and allowed Boston to tie the score in the ninth inning. Later, he said, he became suspicious that Chase had double crossed him and stopped payment on the check. Heydler denied that Magee told him and Week. that Chas had double cross ed him by placing the bets against the Reds instead of the Cincinnati team. Asked how long he had known that Jimmy Ring, Red pitcher, had received $50 from Chase, Heydler said since January, 1919, when Ring gave an af- fidavit in the Chase case. Heydler said he is convinced that Ring is hon est and was innocent of any wrong doing even if he did lost the game in which he pitched.
