Wilcox and White Co. in Meriden
Closes-Many Employees Have Not
Been Paid in Five Weeks.

Meriden, July 29.-With the closing
for an indefinite period of the Wilcox
and White CO. plant by F. E. Bemis,
the superintendent, acting for receivers
in bankruptcy proceedings, it developed
today that a large number of employees
had not received any pay in five weeks.
Only forty workmen out of a normal
force of 200 were taken on when the
plant was reopened recently after the
summer vacation. The local company
combined with the F. G. Smith Co. of
New Jersey year ago and they were
forced into bankruptcy by the loss of
foreign trade in pianos following war
losses.

Washington Indicates Pol
icy To Reject Such
Suggestion Which One
Nation Is Believed To
Favor
United States is Convinced
That No Real Benefit
Could Come From Such
International Lobbying.

Washington, July 29.-It was in
dicated today that the United States
would reject any suggestion for sep
arate parleys with any of the powers
invited to participate in the confer
ence on limitation of armament and
discussion of Far Eastern questions.
There was an intimation that at least
one of the nations concerned had
suggested the advisibility of such a
partial conference.
Secretary Hughes continued today
his official silence both on the newer
phase of the interchanges between
the governments and as to sugges-
tions that preliminary conferences
be heldYo all the invited powers. It
had been made clear in an informal
way, however, that the United States
is convinced that no real benefit can
come from such pre-conference dis
cussions.
Might Be Disastrous.
Communication between the powers
as to the date for the conference and
its program are proceeding and are
regarded here as essential but such
suggestions relative to a preliminary
conference as may have come are un-
derstood to have met a disouragfng
reception on the ground that 1t might
easily jeapardize the success of the
main conference.

ANOTHER RAILROAD DREAM.

The following special dispatch IN
der a Huron date line appeared in
last Saturdays Sioux City Journal. If
this project could be gotten under
way by next spring, perhaps it would
have a tendency TO put a little pep in
to the Northwestern officials, and they
too would get busy and do a little
railroad building. Here's hoptn', any
way.
Huron, S. D., Sept. 3o.--Special:
There is every likelihood that Huron
will soon be the center Of railroad CON
struction activity, brought about by
the demands Of the Rosebud country
for an extension of the Great North
ern railroad from Huron into that
field.
The movement, which has been in
progress for the past month, is now
being agitated with the view Of i'm
pressing the railroad officials with the
necessity for this extension so that
the preliminary work may be COM
menced this fall on surveys, with
actual construction work being fol-
lowed up early in the next year.
Desire on the part Of the residents
of Gregory, Trip, Todd and Mellette
counties for a grain outlet to Mime
apolis, st. Paul and Duluth markets
first brought about this agitation.
The movement originated at Dallas,
5. d., the request being for direct
railroad connections with M%inneapo-
lis, which would tap the Northwest
ern road somewhere between Bone
steel and Winner, S. ID. 1t is the
claim of residents Of that section that
they can get better marketing facili-
ties by having access to Minneapolis
markets than they are able to secure
through the Omaha and Sioux City
outlets, the haul being too long to the
Twin City terminal under existing rail.
road conditions and connections.
This led to requests being made In
the Rosebud country by the merchants
there to the wholesale houses in Min.
neapolis for support in the movement,
The result Is that e. G.. Hillweg OF
Minneapolis, secretary of the whole.
sale and johbers section of the Mime.
apolis Civic and Commerce association
has been sent into this section to i'm.
vestigate the situation, and inquire
into the feasibility of such an
extension.

WHAT A GOOD SCHOOL DOES.

One OF the best ways to promote
vide 1T with an exceptionally good
school. If you can keep your school
constantly improving, so that IL turns
out bright young people who will help
In community development, you are
going to draw in new students for
many miles around. AS the school
grows it can ,employ more teachers,
a carry on more community activ-
tiles, and become a center for the de-
velopment of the neighborhood. Fam
lilies will move into a town having
such an institution, and few will
move way--Colome Times.

II you can't be original in your con-
versation you can at least be silent
and that would be original.

PRESIDENT HAVING
 GENUINE VACATION
Find Actual Rest and Freedom From
 Cares at Secretary Weeks Lodge in N. H.

Lancaster, N- H., Aug 3.-Presi- dent Harding found today the seclu- sion and easement from cares of of flee for which he has expressed 8 de- sire so often since ne became chief executive. As a guest of Secretary Weeks at his country home on the summit of Mount Prospect, the presi- dent and Mrs. Harding, with a party of friends, began with a day of rest a vacation which Is to last until the end of the week at least. A closed private road is the only approach to their retreat and d telephone four miles away at the foot of the noun tain is the nearest connection with the outside world
 It is expected that their only trips outside the Weeks estate during their stay here will be to nearby golf courses and for short motor rides in the White Mountains. The president expects to give attention only to such public business as will not permit of delay.
 The president and Mrs. Harding reached the Weeks lodge late yes- terday by motor from Portland, Me. where they left the yacht. Mayfiower, after a cruise from Washington. They will probably return to the cap itol by the same route, leaving here Saturday or Sunday. szssszss
