 According to stories which have been noised about the town, it apr pears that certain gentlemen have through the gentle art of bootlegging Whiskey in large quantities has been stolen right and left, and the climax was reached when 23 barrels of the forbidden stun disappeared in a single night.
 It seems that David F. FftzGerald the well known sporting man and partner of the firm of F'itZGerald and Malone recently received 4tip'' thai ten barro1s of whiskey which he had in his possession were about to be appropriated by the gang. MT. F'it1~ Gerald was so sure that an attempt to steal his stock was about to bs made, that he transferred it to the wareho ouse of Doherty and Scott, .sin New Haven.
 These efforts went for nougff. however, because a few nights latef the warehouse was entered and MT. FItzGerald's ten barrels went South On the same evening 23 barrels were removed from the saloon of Janaf P. Clyne, at 61 Ferry street. Clyne holds a permit which allows him to hold liquor in storage.
 Five men are now under arrest ia connection with the latest liquor scandal, and the police believe that they have discovered a stolen liquof cache, in Milford. All of the men now under arrest are either in the trucking business or connected with it, and this fact is considered sig. nificant

WOMEN KICK
 ON VETO. OF
 REGISTRY BILL

Hartford, Conn.,, Sept. 23-The women were incensed today at what them from the right to vote in the town caucuses at which candidates for the State Legislature will be se- lected, as result of the governors S refusal to sign the bill permitting them to be made voters on Friday and Saturday of this week.
 Miss Katherine Ludington, presi- dent of the Connecticut Woman Suf- frage association, said today with reference to the governors announce ment:
 '"The statement appearing in the morning paper, said to be execu- tive statement, says the governor will not sign the bill which provides for less than 5000 population on Friday and Saturday of this week, this be cause there is not time to carry out it's provisions.' The papers also say an end to confusion growing out of the adoption of the bill
 ''OI course everyone knows that if any confusion exists it is because of special session. He is responsible for the extreme inconvenience to which registrars and election officials are now being put. It seems to us there will be more confusion if the bill is vetoed than if it is allowed to stand.
  men to be made voters on Friday and Saturday.
 ''It is clear that the same grouE is still opposing the entry of women into political life. The question seems to be whether or not the State will ex- tend the same political privileges to women as to men. The Legislature has tried to do this but the Cover nor is now apparently trying to de feat this attempt
 If the governor refuses to sign the bill women will be barred from the town elections of October 4, and their entry into the legislative caucuses o1 their own party will depend on the good will and sense of fairness of the State Central Committee. The com mittee has arranged to hold the legis- lative caucuses as late as October g the regular date, and by obtaining . certificate of enrolment, to vote ir the legislative caucuses. The personal work of many committeeman has been given that they will postpone the caucuses until October Il and the women will of course expect them te keep their word.
 Thee aucuses must be held q days before election day and the 11th would be the last possible day, the 18th of October being a holiday.
