Murdick-Speed Nuptials


 The following article which ap- peared in the Torrington Register, will be of interest to the brides many friends here. Mrs. Murdick was born in Salisbury and for a number of years lived with her parents in the house now occupied by George E. Parsons on Main street, moving to Torrington about twelve years ago. |" A charming wedding took place at Trinity church, Saturday afternoon, August 7th, at 2 o'clock, when Miss Lulu May, daughter of MT. and Mrs. w, c. Speed, became the bride of Walter Hall Murdick,. son of E. C.. Murdick of Main street. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. Kins- ley Blodgett of Worcester, Mass, who is acting rector in the absence of Rev. Dr. J. Chauncey Linsley.
 The bride was given in marriage by her father; and wore a gown of white chiffon over satin with veil caught with pearls and orange blos- soms. She carried a shower bouquet of bridal roses.
 Miss Grace Speed, sister of the bride, was maid of honor. She wore white embroidered net over pink satin, with a picture hat, and car ried pink carnations. Harley Mur- dick, a brother of Che bridegroom, was best man; and Clifford Speed, a brother of the bride, and Raymond Abelipg were ushers.
 The wedding marches were played by Stanley Blake Smith, organist. The church was prettily decorated with daisies, goldenrod and lilies.
 The bride and bridegroom are graduates of the Torrington high school, class of 1917, and both are we'll known and popular. They re- ceived many beautiful gifts of sil- yer, cut glass, furniture, etc.
 After two weeks trip they will be at home at IS Winter street. There were guests from Philadel- phia, Hartford, New Haven, Koch ester, Waterbury, Amsterdam, Salisbury and Ansonia.

BuIIdino Houses in China.


 All lumber for building in China is bought in the log, says H. K. Richard son, writing in Asia magazine. AS soon as the logs begin to arrive the con- tractor tackles them with the saw yers- These men are paid piece rates which average about three cash or one-tenth of a cent per square foot of surface sawed. They average a bet ter wage than a carpenter. getting about 10 cents a day, as compared with 8 cents a day for the carpenter. At this rate they are cheaper than any steam saw mill that can operate in China. In fact the only reason saw mill can operate in China at all is because it can produce quickly and with 0 more even thickness than the native saWyers. The necessary doors, frames pd window sashes are all made by hand. Three Chinese carpen- tors at cents a day with their na- tive tools can accomplish about the same work done by one Canadian car per1ter with all equipment The work is we'll done if well supervised In comparison, I should say that about five Chinese carpenters at cents a day each are necessary to do the work of a Canadian carpenter who receives $6 a day and has all his wood pre- pared for him.

The complete states of the regulars
in both parties were usccessful.
The proposed laws to take the place
of the so-called old Blue Laws have
been defeated, with the possible ex-
ception of charging admission for base
ball during certain hours on Sunday.
The cities voted strongly in favor Of
doing away with the old Blue Laws,
but the country districts overcame
that lead.
All other issues ara now cleared
away, and the stage is set for the
fight against the Townley clan itself
which will culminate on June 3Oth,
when the people will either overthrow
the King, or his hold will be more
securely fastened than ever.

CAPITAL NEWS NOTES
By Earle H. Tostevin, Seen. D. p. A,

Further indication and additional
proof of the socialization of the Nom
Partisan League has developed with
the appointment of Jules Anderson,
st. Paul, as the sole head and general
manager Of the Publishers National
Service Bureau.
Anderson has long been a prominent
socialist in St P. .aul and was a So
cialist candidate for mayor few
years ago. Defeated, he went to
Duluth and was socialistic leader
there. He is now the chief in con-
troll of the newspapers in the various
states where the Nom Partisan League
is working and more or less controls
the So newspapers owned by Brinton
ct al in North Dakota.
Anderson succeeds Fred B. Smith,
for many years with printing ma
chinery and supply company as trav-
cling salesman in this territory.
Smith resigned because of conditions
in the league newspaper bureau and
refused to be connected with the en-
terprise.
It was Smith who took the place of
o. T. Rishoff, former dictator of the
Nom Partisan League newspaper COM
bine after Rishof quit the Publishers
National News Bureau because some
one sooner or later would be in. the
tolls Of the law and he was not going
to lay himself liable to trouble.

avowed and confirmed socialist, evi-

NEWBERRY CONVICTED

Senator Newberry, of Michigan,
who defeated Henry Ford a year ago,
has been found guilty of excess ex-
penditures of money in his campaign,
and has been sentenced to two years
in the Federal penitentiary. Several
Of those who supported him were
found guilty, as we'll.
Henry Ford also exceeded the law
in his expenditures, and it seems that
he ought to be made to take the
same medicine.
Nswberry faithfully supported the
government during and just prior to
the war. Ford made himself uni
versally notorious by his pacifist ef-
forts, and his son, Edsall, was able
to secure exemption from the draft
on the flimsiest kind of an excuse.
The Chicago Tribune one time called
Fort an archist, and jury awarded
the latter dollar in the damages
for same.
This Newberry-Ford contest has
created situation that should bring
about some corrections in the condi-
tions existing. Without the same
kind Of q fight on the part of New
berry, the Pacifst would no doubt
have won by force of his wealth.
The nation needed Newberry, but
technically he is guilty Of breaking
a Federal law, and now he faces the
penitentiary.

."I have honestly used my utmost
endeavor to carry out the platform
upon which I was elected. On the
other hand Townley has made no
honest effort to carry out that pro-
gram, but has acted at all times from.
selfish motives and has built up. a
personal political machine, which is
controlled absolutely by him, and
which not only extends to the news
papers and banks which he has or
ganized, but extends into the very leg

controls many state officials"
