masters of screencraft, it moves swiftly to a smashing climax. ..
 Another big point to recommend the picture is the cast which presents it. It is headed by Bessie Barriscale. Then there is Joseph J. Bowling, character actor of sterling worth; Pat O'Malley, one of the best of juveniles; Wilfred Lucas, a splendid actor: Walter McGrail as the william; Eugeria Besserer as his mother; and Ethel Grey Terry, popu- lar leading woman, as ''the other wom- an." All in all the picture is one that should prove of intense interest to all patrons of the Bijou.
 The special added feature for Sunday night only is "Squandered Lives," one of the products of the newly formed Stoll Film Company of which much is expected during the next few years. It was made with cast of artists that are new to the film fans of this coun- try, but described as among the best of Europe, The critics who have re- viewed the picture describe it as one of the best foreign pictures brought to this country in many years. It will afford opportunity for interesting com parisonS

THE PALACE.

A story published in every language that has a literature, read and loved by millions for nearly halr century and at last received the attention of motion picture producers and has been made by Vitagraph into visualization of the master class, is the wonderful screen production of Black Beauty" which will be shown at the Palace Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Black Beauty" leads film history into a new era. It might really be called the beginning of screen literature, and in fact, has been so characterized by vari- ous leaders in literary and educational lines who have witnessed private show ings of the wonderful visualization.
 Nevertheless 1t is picture brimnning with a gripping interest brought about by the touching story of a beautiful thoroughbred i'll which enter all the elements necessary to make great pho to drama. While Anna Sewell's book told the outdoor story, the picture not only relates this faithfully but also gives in detail the tale of Squire Gordon's family. This portion of the pictures enthralling story hinges on the tragic death of George Gordon, heir to Bert wick Hall, and its menaeing conse- quences to little Jessie Gordon, played so prettily by dainty Jean Paige. The screen version provides the plottings of ages of the picture while standing out in bold relief are the brilliant characters so we'll known to young and old readers of Black Beauty"
 All the scenes of the Palace presenta- ton of Black Beauty" will be further enhanced by the employment of special music, original and novel lighting and varoius mechanical effects. These are to form big part of the Palace offer ing of Black Beauty and will be all most as important and striking to audi ences as the picture itself Special matinee showings of Black Beauty will be given for children on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons at 4 :45, thus making it possible for them to witness the picture without i'll any way interfering with school hours or evening study periods.
 The vaudeville bill is one calculated to prove ideal variety diversion. Hazel Green and Company in mirthful musi- cal novelty idea form one of the prom inent features; Pinto and Boyle present a skit which they call "The Mysterious Trunk" This is not an illusion, instead it is nothing but real fun and high speed comedy. Welton and Marshall combine an ability to sing, talk and dance into a we'll done piece of vaude- ville Billy Rogers in Making You Smile" Is an advocate of the free coin age of smiles; Wayne and Bell are dancers of the whirlwind type, their stepping being fast graceful and diff | cult.
 The Sunday evening bill at the Pal ace will consist of a special added fea- ture in addition to the initial showing of Black Beauty" This is Billie Burke in "The Education of Elizabeth" and is a fine production. In addition to the two big features there will be a fast going comedy reel, an interesting News Weekly and selected concert by the | Paalce orchestra.

TEMPEST IN TEAPOT
 AT NEW HIGH SCHOOL

A tempest iri a teapot" seems to have been. stirred Up at the new Com mercial High School by couple of teachers who do not agree with the methods and policy of Principal w. B. Spencer. They got together with them selves few days ago and passed "reso- lutions" of dissatisfaction and when the resolutions got out there was consider ably more. dissatisfaction but apparently not with the principal Most of the teachers back up MT. Spencer who is a war veteran and>not only popular with the main body of teachers but "a regular fellow" with the pupils. His popularity with the scholars and teachers is be- lieved to be the reason for the grouch of the others. At any rate Superinten- dent Beede and other school board officials back up MT. Spencer SO it's a safe guess his job is not in any danger: Mir. Spencer came here from Hartford and his being an outsider" is consid cred to have something to do with the attitude of the few against him.

THE BIJOU.

Self-indu1gent, dissipated, without moral scruples-this was the man she had married. What would you do if you stood in her shoes? That is the vital question that is answered in an absorbing way in The Breaking Point, " starring Bessie Barriscale, which is one of the big features on the Sunday night program at the Bijou theatre.
 "The Breaking Point" is described as the picture with everything to recom- mend it. It's unfoldment showing, as it does, life as it is lived i'll the very smartest social set, should keep any audience enthralled. It is the vivid story of q woman who marries to please her parents, but soon discovers that she cannot hold her husband. When he plans to steal her child and elope with an old flame, the Breaking Point" comes. Adapted to the silversheet by H. H. Van Loan and Paul Scardon,

MORRISAN GOES ON
 NEAR EAST BOARD

Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, has been elected a member of the Board of Trustees of the Near East Relief, the American organization which is con- ducting all of the relief work for the Armenians and other Christian popula- tions throughout the former Turkish empire, Armenia, Transcaucasia, Per Sia, Mesopotamia and Syria. The Near East Relief was incorporated by Con- gress in 1879, since which time it has collected and distributed $5O,OOO,OO0 in relief of destitute children in the Near East. A new appeal is being made to the people of the United States to con- tribute to the continued support of 10000 children who have been saved from death by starvation and disease by American generosity, and who today, owing to the persistence of war con ditions in the Near East, are wholly de- pendent upon American aid for food and life.

WHO GAVE ME THIS?"
 GETS ICE CREAM MEN

Aside from enjoying fine business meeting and banquet in which they op- timistically foresaw a reduction in the price of ice cream in the near future, teh annual convention of the New Eng land Association of Ice Cream Manu-- lecturers here this week were treated to a novel surprise by the Coombs Floral shops of this city and Hartford. At each of the 200 guests plates when he arrived was handsome "Enchan- tress' carnation, one of the finest of teh species of flowers and in which the Coombs shop specializes. With each boutonniere was a neat pink card with just the words, Who gave me this p printed thereon There wasn't sugges- tion of an advertisement for the firm on the card and 1t naturally kept the ice cream men guessing until they were in formed by the toastmaster where the handsome flowers had come from.

BRISTOL MASONS TO
 STAND PAT ON WAGE

Bristol, Feb. 18-That Bristol brick layers are not planning on any reduc- ton in the wage scale is evident through the fact that the Bricklayers' Union has sent letters to the contractors, stating that the union has gone on record as favoring a continuance of the present wage scale, 112A cents an hour This amount has been received by the masons for the past year, and they want it con- tinued. The master masons have taken no actoin on the matter as yet, but 1t was said last night that in all probabil- ity a conference will be held soon. The 112N cents an hour is not an increase but the present scale.

FOOD PRICES NOT YET
 REACHED LOW LEVEL

New York, Feb. 19.-Belief that the bottom of food prices has not yet been reached was expressed by J. Frank Grimes, public accountant of Chicago, in an address before the New York Wholesale Grocers' Association at the opening here of its 35th convention.
 Warning in dangers ahead, Mir. Grimes classed as the greatest imnedi- ate peril facing the wholesale trade. The hope that the sudden reversal has carried prices so low that reaction will take place which will carry them at least part way back" He predicted as a hopeful sign that the upward move ment once it sets in, will offer very little speculative opportunity.

Continued from First Page.) testified, the following bids were sub mitted by members of the Code of Practice to Hettrick: Lasette & Mur- phy, $44 ,348; Wells & Newton, $48 1850 j; Milton Schnaier & Co.,, $49,25O; McMi1- lan's bid as submitted to Hettrick was $48,5OO
 For some reason Hettrick had de- cided this job must go to Wells & Newton.
 Hettrick's first step, his clerk, John Aisenbrey, has. testified, was to raise Lasette & Murphy's bid by $o,OO0, thus making them the highest instead of low est bidders and putting them quite out of the running. This left Wells X New ton as lowest bidders until the McMi1- Ian bid was telephoned in.
 "I telephoncd my bid in," said Mo Milan, land MT. Hettrick said to wait till I heard from him. Then he called me back and said I'd have to raise my bid to $49,850."
 "I objected very strenuous1y over the told Mr. Hettrick I'd be right down to No. 165. When I got there he again said I'd have to increase my bid. l told him I thought it was unfair, and finally he said to me: As the official adjuster under the Code of Practice, l order you to increase your bid as di- rected"
 Well, I said I had joined the or ganization and agreed to its rules and never violated them yet, so I wasn't going to begin. Then I went right back ito the office and increased my bid to $49, $50, sending one copy to MT. Het- tricks office and the other to the Clough- Bourne Corporation"
 ~Mr. Clough came around and of- fered me the job at $49,O00, after he'd got all the bids in. But l told him I couldn't lower my bid, because that was against the rules. Finally l took it on d cost plus basis"

Andy Lawson, promoter and president of the new Colonial league, doesn't seem to think very much of the Eastern league Recently while looking over the field at Providence with the idea of placing team there some one mention ed the fact that the Eastern league was represented there. Andy's answer to that was: "A fig for the Eastern league, this town will never support bob-tail league" and went along with an ac- count of the quality of baseball that his team was going to furnish.

borhood that when the directors meet next week, MT. Otterson will probably step down and out. He was, however, reelected a director at the stockholders meeting last week but the, directors ad- jorned until the end of the month with out going through the election of officers. With rumors now of the re- organization by March 1, the story that MT. Otterson will get out has been given further impetus.
 Although consistently denied at the factory the strike of metal polishers is still on at the Winchester plant and has been on since September 4, 1o1o when the company refused to grant the pol ishers living wage although every other branch of work in the factory was being paid for at decent rates. The polishers asked but 75 cents an hour and were peremptorily refused and strike was resorted to as last resort. Before the strike was declared, how ever, every effort to prevent it was made International Union officers being called in but the company following its anti-union policy refused to Urea with them. Conciliators of the Depa rtment of Labor were then called in but they too failed to get the company head to adjust matters.
 MT. Otterson's anti-labor union atti- tude is well known not only in the fac tory but elsewhere where it Is under stood that he is nothing but the figure head of the big capitalistic organizati ons controlling the factory and which have been continually opposing Organized Labor. He is president of the New Ha- ven Chamber of Commerce, although only few years resident of New Haven and in that body made his anti-organiza- ton efforts felt especially during the carpenters strike here year ago. Simi- lar conditions exist i'll the Cowles shop where the buffers are on strike for a decent wage and efforts to adjusf mat ters refused by the firm. A-
