RECORD DAY FOR
 MAKING OF VOTERS,
 MENCR0W.DED OUT
Ten Women to One Man in the Crowds Seeking Apportunity to Take Electors Oath = Ten Thousand Voters W ill Be Still Unmade When the Lists Close To. night.

The making of voters in the Coun- ei1 Chamber of the City Hall started in with a rush at o'clock this morn ing and continued up to press time.
 If the rush continues untl night the T record made yesterday of over 2,1OO will be beaten although even at that there will be a large number whose names are on the To Be Made list who will not be made this year.
 The first woman to be made a vot- CT today was Florence Nadel of S6 ed by Mrs. Anastasia Remedy, orga- mist at St. Peters church. Among the other women who were made in the early morning were Mrs. Alice Steinke, wife of the well known car toonist. and Mrs. Catherine R. Gra- ham of 161 Milne street.
 The crowd today contained larg- CT percentage of women the average being about 10 women to 1 man. The men seemed in such a small mi- nority that number of them left and said that they would wait until the women were made.
 One man who did not like the idea of pushing his way to the registra- have a separate place to make the men? A man can't get in that bar gain day rush and come out with his coat on.''
 Little difficulty was experienced by l the clerks with the women except l with those who were born in this country and married men born in 1 foreign countries who came to be made without bringing their hus- bands naturalization papers, and in the case of foreign born women who i married American born husbands l who did not bring their husbands l along to identify them.
 l First Selectman Alfred Knapp said today that it was absolutely necessary | for these women to be identified by their husbands and for those married l to naturalized citizens to bring their i husbands naturalization papers or l they would have to be sent back for | them.
 | It is not necessary for any woman 1 who has ever voted at school ele"- ton to go through the process of be- ing made a voter again. It is only Unnecessary for her to go to the office Hall and have her name restored to
 the voting list and she will then be entitled to vote at the coming cleo tion.
 The Registrars now have in their office all the lists containing the
 names of all women who have ever
 been registered to vote at a school
 election in this city.
 Up to closing hour last night there were a little over 5000 new voters made since the Board started last Sat urday morning and this leaves over
 13,OOO to be made in the next five
 days 1 At the rate that new voters were
 made yesterday, and there was no let
 up all day long only 10000 of these can be made before next Tuesday (Continued on Page Six)

Miss Katherine Ludington, presi- dent of the Connecticut Woman Suf- frage association, which has recently taken a stand opposed to the reelec- tion of Senator Brandegee, today makes the following statement con its relation to the suffrage question.
 The opposition of a large mum Der of women to Senator Brandegee is based on considerations of future welfare and the probability of his at t1tude toward group of questions for which women are especially re- sponsible> Among these considera- tions suffrage figures only as it sheds light on his general method of ap proach to those matters in which women are interested.
 For the sake of clearness, however, it is necessary that Senator Brande gees suffrage attitude should be un-

BRYAN WOULD CANCEL DEBT


 Washington. Oct. 14-William Jen- nings Bryan's plan for the purchase of wold peace by the United States was the subject of much discussion here today, but little hope was held out of the plan ever becoming effect i've.
 Officials pointed out that Congress sional action would be necessary for this nation to cancel the Allied war debts in the interests of peace as ad- vocated by "The Commoner.'
 Cancellation of the $10,0OO, 900 debt owSd to the United States by the Allied powers was advocated by Bryan in his speech before the World Brotherhood convention last night, as the first step toward universal reconciliation
 England, France and Italy cannot pay this debt without collecting il from the Central Powers and to col feet it would SOW the seeds of another war, Bryan declared.

STUNNED BY FINE

Facing fines and assessments which amount in no instance to less than S1OO,O0O, three local breweries are today uncertain as to what steps they will take in the matter.

 The fines and assessments in the cases of the Eckart, the Connecticut Breweries and the the aaaaL;I Home Products will undoubtedly be taken to have the amount reduced in each case.
 All bills were sent as matter of form from the internal Revenue

Police Probe Fires Early
 This Morning

Wire Chief Daniel E. Johnson is to- day conducting an investigation into two early morning fires which result ed in damages of approximately, $2,000. Both fires which happened within a hour between and o'clock this morning caused considerable eX- citement and the blaze from each illuminated the skies so as to be seen from all parts of the city.
 The first alarm was turned in at 2:03 o'clock and called the apparatus to the corner of Main and Congress streets where a bale of old straw hats on the back porch in the rear of the H. Goldstein Dry Goods store had be- come ignited from an unknown cause and which caused a lively blaze that destroyed the back porch of the three story brick building at that place. Harry Goldstein, his wife and three children were asleep on the third floor
 of the building. Their cried of "fire'' and Help" from the front window of their home attracted Policeman James O'Neil to the scene who turned in the alarm and then entered the building and ushered the family to safety carrying the youngest child to
 the street below. Damage to the fur niture in the Goldstein home was esti- 1 mated at s1,00O by Mrs. Go1dstein 1 this morning. Only slight damage | resulted to the stock in the store in l the place. It is probable that a care lessly thrown cigarette from the back porch of the saloon at that place may | have started the fire.
 The second alarm turned in at 2:5S l just about the time the Main stree l fire was pronounced under contro rushed the firemen to an old barn 1T 1 the rear of the American Bank ant | Trust company on East Main street The barn which was owned by pr Rosen of Fairfield avenue, was a tota loss, the damages amounting to abou S1,000. A horse and wagon owned by a local peddler whose name hat not been learned by the fire author ities up to noon was also a total loss
 the horse burning to death before sh
 could be led from the burning barn
