ties were organized when he reported
his sister had started for home sew

26 SEEK TO Be
TOWN MANAGER
FOR STRATF0RD

That .Stratford has received pub
licity throughout the country is evil
denced by the fact that the newly
elected council has to date a total of
26 applications from men would like
to become Stratford's first Town
Manager. These applications come
from almost every state, one that
sounds especially favorable having
been sent from Tyler, Texas, a town
very nearly identical in size with
Stratford. Another from Ambridge,
Pa, will receive careful attention,
when the council takes up this all
important matter.
Whether or not the manager sub
jecr will be taken up at all at the
meeting to be held Oct. 10 is profile
NAUTICAL The most important mat
ter at hand is a review of the budget
prepared for the council by the Board
of Finance, and arrival at a tax rate
for the coming year. Stratford will
not be asked to pass upon any special
tax levies under the new order of af-
fairs, as one of the special taxes ask
ed for the past year were favorably
acted upon in town meetings..

Police Commissioners Make
Public Statement on Their
Cases Today.

Absolute vindication of Patrolmen

three of the five local policemen re-
Sently accused by Judge John S. Pull
man of misdemeanorS prior to their
appointment to the force, is contain
ed in a statement made public today
By the Board of Police Commission
efs. This action. which was taken
after an exhaustive examination OF
all three cases, removes the last hint
of suspicion that might be directed
against any of the three. and entirely
refutes the 'hearsay'' charges pre-
scented to the board by Judge Pull
man himself.
In the official statement, James
Farnum, a. retired policeman, is nam
ed as the man who gave Judge Pull
man information concerning Hen
nessey and O'Reilly. The informant,
according to the commissioners an
nouncement, was unable to present
any evidence in the Hennessey case,
and concerning O'Re1lly, Farnum ad-
mitted that he had repeated idle ru-
NOR.
Ex-Patrolman Murphy, who was ac-
cused of embeZzling a sum of money
from the John Hancock Insurance
Company, by whom he was formerly
employed, established his innocence
imemdiately through a se1f-explana-
tory letter from the insurance con-

FRANCE HUGE
sum IN GOODS

Berlin, Oct Germany is pledged
to deliver to France a maximum
amount of 1000, 100000 gold marks
worth of goods, cattle and raw ma
teria1s before May /, 1926, under an
agreement signed at Wiesbaden by
Walter Rathenau. minister of recon
struction in the Wirth cabinet, and by
Louis Loucheur, French minister for
liberated regions, it was learned to-
day.
Herr Rathenau stipulated the con-
dition that the supplies only could be
turned over if Germanys producing
facilities and her social and economic
affairs enable her to make the vast
payments required of her. The goods
promised by Germany will apply on
her indemnity.
The agreement is known as the con-
struction contract and much of the
German supplies will be used in re-
habilitating those areas of France
devastated during the war.
Coal prices and the restitution of
of rolling stock were among the sub
ject discussed at Wiesbaden.
The total amount of goods deliv-
ed by Germany during the life of the
contract must not exceed So per cent
of the annuitieS assured France by the
London indemnity agreement.

Fred Toney a sturdy OK of the
Giant pitching staff, was McGraw s
logical selection to pitch today's game
and a, bright hot sun that beat down
relentlessly on the broad expanses of
the Polo Grounds was all in his favor
Miller Higgins, foxy field general
of the Yankees was about to gamble
with McGraw today. With two games
in the bank and his two pitching aces
resting up for future activities, Hug
was expected to send Bob Shawkey
into the fray with no especial fears
should Bob the COB fail to battle the
Giant batsmen.
Behind Shawkey Higgins had Jack
Quinn, veteran exponent of the spit
ball and a great f1nisher of games. He
also had Harry Harper, strong young
Ford handler.
Douglas and Nehf have failed to
stop the Yankees offensive. Pitchers
and already the Yankees have made
the Giants jump through eighteen
hoops, so the blame cannot be fasten-
ed on the two box men sacrificed by
McGraw in the first two games.
Maybe Toney is the Houdini who
will unshackie the bats of the Giants
today and tie the Yankee sluggers in
to knots. If ne does not, the National
Leaguers may as well begin to figure
up the, losers end.
The experts have called Higgins
pitchers twice now and it is almost
a certainty that his choice today will
be Bob Shawkey. With their big adj
gamble. If -Shawkey is not good,
Quinn can be rushed into any breach
the Giants may open. If he is good,
Toney will have to be very good to
beat him. Three runs were plenty

and hadn't started to play yet
this series.
"a two game lead is a big
handicap in a short series but it
doesn't mean the fight for the
Worlds Series is over" said Nc
Graw.
Manager Higgins, pleased with
the work of his entire team, was
a bit cautious. Admitting that the
two games was quite an advan-
tage, he said "I'm not forgetting
that in the 1917 series McGrawS
team lost the first two games and
then got back on even terms with
the White Sox. Don't count your
base hits before they are made"

SAY RANDALL
BR0KEFIRSTL LAW
OF HIGH SEAS

Keen interest has been aroused in
Bridgeport by the investigation into
the allegations that - Captain A. S.
Randall, master of the Shipping Board
liner Hudson, had neglected to an
swer the distress signals of three men
adrift in a small boat off the New
York harbor. Captain Randall is a
Bridgeport boy, well known to the
older residents of the town. He is
the son of a former contractor here,
and served creditably throughout the
World War as lieutenant command
err in command of the transport Po-
cob ontaS.
According to New York advices,
Captain Randall was but a few miles
off the Ambrose Light early Wednes-
day morning, when he wirelessed the
Naval Communications Service in New
York that small dory with three
and in need of immediate assistance
General orders were sent out by the
naval authorities for all vessels in the
vicinity to stand by and render aid
Captain Randall, on the plea that
he was carrying mail and could not
stop, passed within few hundred
yards of the drifting boat and con-
tinued on to quarantine and anchored.
until several hours later when the
men were near exhausted.
An immediate inquiry was started
by officials of the governments new
Hudson. Captain Randall was sum-
moned before General Manager T. H.
RosSbottom and will be required to
explain his failure to answer the dis
tress signals, the first law of the high
seas.
During the war, Captain Randall
commanded the Transport Cocohantas
which piled between New York and
Brest with troops. On one trip, in
January, 1920, the Cocohontas sprung
a leak 200 miles off Halifax while
bound for Antwerp. Her frantic dis
tress signals were answered. immedi-
ately by several other vessels, who
escorted her safely to port.

. Leaders were today discussing the
effects of the mayors statement. Some
believed that many of the delegates
would feel that his remarks would re-
lease them from any obligations that
they might owe to him, while others
felt that the mayors position would
scare many delegates who would not
want to see the party divided into two
factions. OF prime interest was the
question of what positions the Voters
League would take on Wilson's pro-
nouncement.
1t has been authoritative1y stated
that if he does Lot receive the Repub-
lican nomination Wilson will begin on
Sunday and wage a vigorous independ-
ent campaign, taking the stump and
waging his war particularly against
the Republican Voters League. In
this respect the Mayor undoubtedly
thinks he holds an advantage in that
he knows the personal record of many
of the men prominent in politics
The friends of the mayor are bitter
against the members of the League
and claim he will fight the issue out
ing, and with delegates almost evenly
divided among the three factions, the
chance for harmony before tonight
seem negligible.
In the headquarters of the Voters
League the threat that Wilson will
run Independent and tell what he
knows, is regarded as pure bunk"
won't jump out of the party
But if he would tell what he
knows" continued the speaker, 1.-The
