VETERAN MISSIONARY
 DIES IN THIS ChY Miss Henrietta North Had Served for 34 Years
 in China

| Miss Henrietta North who 1T October returned to this country aft
 CT having completed 34 wars of worl
 in the missionary fields of China, diet
 at the home of Dr. and Mrs. D. H | Dickerman at 35 Walnut street abou 8 o'clock last evening at the age o1 67 years. She leaves no near rela- tives although there are several cousins that survive.
 Miss North will be reme embered by many New Britain people for the while on furlough from China, in preaching evangelistic services to the New Britain Chinese She was brought here from the American Sunday School Union in Boston. Mass, under the auspices of the Sunday school of the South Congregational church. She spoke the Chinese language f1uently South church Sunday school depart ment had her home to New Britain ment had her come to New Britain Christ. ,..... .......
 While in the city at that time Miss North was the guest of Mrs. S. H. Woods of Emmons Place. Mrs. Woods when seen this afternoon, said that Miss North wrote to her at intervals and told of the work she was doing among the Chinese. It was because of a breakdown in health that Miss North was in this country in 1900.
 Although it is not definitely known, friends of Miss North believe her home was in Winsted, Conn, previ- ous to her leaving for California, years ago. where she learned the Chinese language and prepared for the work to be done in China.
 Miss North left for China to do missionary work on her own accord and at her own expense. Because of the success she made of the work she was accepted by the Southern Baptist missionary board and for the rest of her life worked for this organization. The headquarters of the board was in Canton, China, but Miss North was stationed at Shiu-Hing where she es- ta blished a missionary school and for many years worked at the school with no assistance.
 The school grew until it was found necessary for the Missionary Board to send other workers to assist Miss North. Miss North stayed at this school until October of last year when her health again broke down and she was advised to come to this country. She went to Battle Creek, Mich, where she remained until April of this spring and then came to New Britain.
 The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at o'clock from the home of Dr. and Mrs. Dickerman on Wal nut street and interment will be in rorrington on Friday afternoon.

 OFG. o. ?. STA 7E MACHINE,
 SAY POLITICAL DOPES7ERS
QUIGLEY SAYS J. H. IS AWAY BELOW PAR Maintains High Mogul of Party Is Wrong Man in
 Wrong Place

The probable victory of the Rora
 back faction will come as a sad poll
 tical blow to George A. Quigey ane
 his Independent Political club, one ol | the cornerstones of which is get rit
 of Roraback." It will also be seer as a partial victory for George W
 Klett, state central committeeman from this city who is not a political friend of Quigley. It was previously reported from authentic sources that having practical control of the city delegation, Quigley had demanded that Klett vote against Roraback fer state chairman if he himself was to have the support of Quigley's. votes. The result of this ultimatum, and also Quigley's loud protestaton. against klett's silence, has brought forth no comment from the willy erstwhile leader of the local G. O. P.
 That Quigley has not given up his fight against Roraback, but at the same time is not taking chances by being too vicious in his political as sault. can be seen by the local mans attitude today.
 Former Mayor George A. Quigley does not control the local republican deelgation. nor has he any desire to control it, he again reiterates. Also, according to MT. Quigley. J. Henry Roraback, republican state central committeeman, is gentleman, but does not come up to the political standards of the Quigley camp.
 "J. Henry Roraback is gentleman and a man of pleasing personality" said Mir. Quigley but we don't be- long to the same political school" Mir Quigley declined to be quoted as to whether or not he had any per sonal animus towards Mir. Rorabaek.
 T don't see why you want to in terview me-" he said T am not so politically important that can affect the state of Connecticut only am not a political coward and am 9 not afraid to express my views.
 T don't believe man occupying MT. Rorabacks position and in his position with a public service cor poration should be directing the af fairs of the republican party in Con- necticut, Any man who opposed the interests of the Connecticut Light and Power company would not stand very high with MT. Roraback."
 Mir. Quigley continued his discus sion with the remark, Whatever statements I have made regarding the chairman of the state central commit tee, I am voicing the opinion of sev- eral hundred New Britain republi cans"
 No. Comment on Klett
 Whether or not the Quigley faction, which is said to be in control of the local delegation, has made any at tempt to force Judge George w. Klett to desert the Roraback faction for the Quigey camp in order to save himself, Mir. Quigley declined to state, again reiterating that he does not control the local delegation and has 10 desire to do so.

 If America desired to send a com mission empowered to negotiate for the resumption of American and Rus sian relations the commission would be received in Moscow, M. Krassin said
 If the commission were merely an Investigating body then Russia would receive it only on a basis of reel procity sending a Russian commission to America.

Lewis, the miners chief has fatly re- fused to consider, apparently aban- boned the position in the informal discussions last night and early today, after Senators Pepper and Reed of Pennsylvania had given them assur- ances that congress intended setting up coal commission this winter which would officially investigate all phases of the industry and perhaps in some measure lay down a basis for wage payments.

 The employers did however, insist that if work were resumed with war time wages scales in effect against the leveYs of which they protest, the new contract would terminate on April l, 1923, and that wages should be readjusted then. MT. Lewis, for the miners. desired much longer term through which to maintain the wartime wage rates which were in effect last April when work was sus- pended in the anthracite regions.

 New. Haven, Aug. 30. - Political prophets in Connecticut today differed in their analysis of the results of the republican caucuses held in practical . ly all of the 169 towns last niSit at which delegates were chosen to the state, senatorial, congressional, coun- ty and probate conventions. The trend of opinion was that in the fac tional contest between the forces headed by J. Henry Roraback, the present state chairman and those al luded to as the Ullman- King Healy combination, the former won. The prize is the chairmanship of the state committee which is usually decided by vote at the organization meeting of the new committee at the close of the state convention All delegates are familiar with the announcements:
 Members of the new state central committee will meet on the stage at the close of the convention"
 Caucuses Show Trend
 Members of the state central com mittee are chosen at the senatorial conventions and the district choice is ratified by the state convention. as rule, the reading of the list of new uasmhers when organization of the convention is made permanent being the method followed. Caucuses gen. orally serve to determine the probable complexion of the new committee when a contest is being waged.
 Last night, in fully three -fourths of the towns, there were no instruc- tions to delegates and no indication how they will stand on any of the contests which may develop in the state convention There were in some 30 towns well drawn lines on the chairmanship issue. Based on results in these towns supporters of MT Roraback this morning claimed that he probably will have control of at -- (Continued on Page Tourteen).
