.EASTLAKE-SNAPPERS
TO GO TOMORROW

Eastlake and the South Side
Eden Snappers will clash in one Of
the deciding games of the Junior
City League tomorrow afternoon at
Eden Park. The game will start at
o'clock.
A peculiar circumstance in tire
standing makes tomorrow's tilt all
the more important. The Lakers
and the Snappers. with the one
game to play. are tied for second
place. but half game between
Defiance. which is on top with its
schedule finished. No matter which
team wins tomorrow 1t will be tied
with Defiance and both will fight
hard for victory.
The Snappers won the first half
of the race for the pennant and
with the lateness OF the season will
endeavor to make a clean sweep.
More than likely only one game
will be played to decide the winner
of the second half after 1t is de-
cided tomorrow which team is tied
with the Tenth SWarders.

bridge DELAY
CONTINUED From First Page.)

Continued From flrst fake'9
Tuesday. but according to road SUI
pervisors employed by the Levy
Court. they cease work at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon.
Engineer Grub said today that
because OF the delay on the part Of
the railroad company in furnishing
the bridge rails Il would require at
least another month before the
stretch OF new roadway az Lum-
brook constructed by the county
could be opened to the public.
In his letter TO Mr.. Mather, Mr..
Grub also requested that the force
of men at work on the new bridge
be worked longer hours. whereby
the project can be hurried to com
pletion.
The schedule as prepared by the
railroad company and approved by
the county engineers office, requir-
ed that the new bridge being built
by the railroad company and the
stretch of roadway being construct
ed by the county. were TO be I'm
ished by August l. This schedule
was afterwards changed TO Septem-
Der 1. According to Mr.. Grubb'
the railroad company ceased work
at the operation on August Z and
nothing further was done until last
Tuesday. Various excuses. such as
inability to get certain machinery
and inability TO get materials have
been given by the railroad company
for its delays. although the company
had many months to prepare for the
Job. The highway has been COM
pleted for sometime up to the
bridge.

JAWBONE PHONE
new TRIUMPH
Cuckoo Bona Will Simplify
Matters for Users of
Telephone
MAY BE USEFUL
AS THIEF CATCHER

Let us present the cuckoo bona
the telephone that is and isn't.
Keen, like all the great ones of
his craft. to the whisper Of human
necessity, william Wallace MacFar-
lane. a Philadelphia inventor. has
produced. after some nine years
labor, a vestpocket telephone which
ne says is practicable.
That Is 10 say. a coffin-shaped
chunk of metal and composition
about FIVE inches long and about an
inch in thickness. exuding at the end
a double strand Of baize-covered
wire.
This. when held against the towl
sn a certain position. is both receiver
and transniitter. All that is needed
20 force a connection is to connect
two pincer-like plugs, after first
scraping away the insulation. Then
one may converse more or less sue
cessfully with any connected part Of
the country. Or at least Mr.. Mac
Farlane says he has talked from
Philadelphia 10 Connecticut.
Mr.. MacFarlane has also prepared
another contrivance, pair Of con-
tact posts housed in a little box.
These can be manufactured at a
very trifiing cost. Mr.. McFarlane
says, and II placed at old intervals
along a series OF telephone polls the
means Of succor would be instantly
at hand for any policeman equipped
with the cuckoo bona. Otherwise he
must climb TO the top OF the pole and
scrape the insulation from the wires.
Mr.. MacFarlane is not without
homes that the Cuckoo Bona may
supplant the desk telephones now
in use. It would seem 10 have sew
eral advantages. For one thing con-
tact IS established as soon as the in
strument Is lifted. The power OF
gravity moves some mysterious
ratchet inside-but that Is Mr.. Mac
Farlane's secret. As suggested there
IS no mouthpiece. Transmission Is
entirely through the vibrations Of
the jaw.
Hence current is introduced
Through the receiver to the transmit
TER instead OF directly as in the COM
mon or garden, on Cuckoo Bonseque
Telephone instrument. Conversation
may be conducted from any posture.
The designation. Cuckoo Bona"
IS a product Of the poetical Mr.. Mac
Farlane's nature. The Cuckoo Bona
.(Good Cuckoo) IS a Porto Rican
lightning bug. which shines without
blinking or pickering like the ef-
fete lightning bugs OF North Amer
sca throuhout the whole night. Mr..
uMacFarlane admired this insect in
'tensely and It was It's example that
induced him against many discour-
agements to go on with the inven-
ton.
Mr.. MaoFarlane viii be remem-
bered as the man who made It pos
eible TO tallSlfrom a moving train via
the rails and from a moving motor
car via the air. He Is also the In
ventor of system of train control

Paonessa this morning signed warrant for a session of the city meeting board to be held at Gen. tral Junior High school auditorium Friday evening, January 5, to take ac- tions on the proposed issuance of school bonds to the amount of $650,- 900, and to levy a tax on next years grand list to meet existing deficits in the several departments of the city government.

POLICE SEEK OLIVES
 FOR SHOOTING AFfRAY
Gun Play Follows Argument Between Rejected Suitor
 and Girls Husband

A serious shooting affray whicl
 may terminate fatally happened lat.
 last night at 43 Cherry street, and a.
 a result Emanuel Ferandez, of 8;
 Lilac street, is in critical condition
 at the New Britain general hospital
 with a bullet hole in his side, and the
 police are seeking John Olives, aged
 2S years, as the alleged assailant. The l trouble as far as can be learned, grew
 out of jealousy
 Ferdandez and Olives were suitors for the hand of Portuguese woman and Ferdandez won the girl three months ago. Last night there was a party at the home of Vincent Rod erick, at 43 Cherry street, and among the guests were MT. and Mrs. Feran- cez and Olives. During the evening dancing was being held, with Feran- ldrz supplying the music oA~ an ac eurdion. Olives asked Mrs. Ferandes several times to dance with Xhim, meeting with refusal. Olives be- came ugly and when he made a threatening remark, the husband of the woman took 8 hand Following brief exchange of unpleasant words, Olives, it is alleged. whipped out a revolver and fired, the bullet striking Ferandez in the side.
 Policeman Thomas Tierney learned Of the affair and he telephoned for the police ambulance. The injured man was rushed at once to the hos. pital, where an operation was per formed. Olives left the house, and has so far successfully eluded the police.
 Sergeant Matthias Rival has been assigned to the case. This noon, when the condition of Ferandez did not show an improvement, it was de- cided to get an ante-mortem state ment and Sergeant Rival accompanied by Assistant Prosecutor William M. Greenstein and Sergeant w. P. Me Cue, went to the hospital.
 Olives about a year ago was arrest ed at the passenger station in com- pany with a young girl, at the in- stance of the Wareham, Mass, police. He was taken back to that town, | where he served a short prison sen -ence. Immediately after his release he came to this city and had been at one of the local factories.

BILL WOULD PERMIT
 FIXING SALE PRICES
Merritt's Measure Designs to Allow Manufacturers to
 Establish Selling Figures
RY GEnRnE III. MANNING

Washington Bureau of New Britain Herald) Washington, D. C., Dec. 26.-A bill
 making 1t lawful for growers, manu. facturers or producers of goods offer
 cd for sale under trade mark or spe.
 cial brand, to fix the price at which
 such articles may be sold has beer introduced in the house of represen- tatives by Congressman Schuyler Mer- ritt of Stamford, Conn.
 Mir. Merritt, who has given con. siderable study to this question. which has vexed thousands of manu- lecturers, believes that in the bill he has new introduced he has placed provision for allowing manufacturers to fix the resale without hindrance from the federal trade commission.
 To prevent the cutting of the price they fix for their products, sold chief ly on their trade mark. trade name or by brand, has proved serious problem for hundreds of big manu- lecturers for many years in view Of the holding by the federal trade com mission that it effects collision and an unfair trade practice in violation of the Sherman act.
 Mir. Merritt meets the objection of the federal trade commission by pro- viding in his bill that before any per son offers an article to the public for less than the fixed resale price he shall tender it back to the manufac- turer. The theory is that the manu- facturer will take it off the retailers hands to prevent the cutting of the price.
 The Merritt bill prohibits the ven dor from having any monoply or con trol of the market for goods of the same general class, and from being q party to any agreement, combina- ton or understanding with any com petitor in regard to the price at which goods are to be sold
 Many bills have been presented to congress aimed to carry out this same general purpose, but Mir. Mer- ritt believes the plan he suggests is nore simple than any so far put for ward.
