CONCERT FOR BENEFIT OF
 HERALD FRESH AIR FUND
"a Piece Children's Orchestra To Give Entertainment June 2i in
 l. 0. o. F. Hall

The New Haven Institute of Music, an orga nization which makes spe- eialty of teaching the violin and which has branches in many cities, including New Britain, has announced that it will give a concert in Odd Fellows hall, Friday evening. June 27, at s o'clock, the entire proceeds of which will be donated to the Fresh Air Fund of the Herald. There are about 1000 tickets on sale through local pupils of the organization at 35 cents apiece.
 The concert will be given by an or ehestra of 75 pieces and there will be several solo numbers by different in dividuals. All of the performers will be New Britain pupils Of the institute and instructors and all of them will give their services free Of charge that evening so that there will be no. ex- pense beyond the hall rental and printing of tickets and programs.
 There are about 800 New Britain boys and girls in the classes here and these pupils will give of their time in disposing of the tickets as well as some of them playing in the orches- tra.
 It is impossible to estimate just how much will be netted for the fund from this organization, but there should be welcome income from that source. Interest, particularly among the parents of the pupils, is expected to run high and indications are that the hall will be crowded even if the sale of tickets does not exceed the ca pacity of the hall.

VACCINATION CASE
 NOLLED IN COURT
AIcorn Will Not Prosecute Avon Resident He
 Announces

Hartford, June 5.-One of the anti vaccination cases to reach the superior criminal court-that of Henry Ahl- gren of Avon. charged with failure to send his child to school, has gone off tho list and States Attorney Alcorn has announced that the case will be nolled.
 The ease was one Of those instances where local authorities required Ahl- gren to have his child yaccinated in order for it to attend school Ahlgren declined 10 have the child yaccinated but he did not refuse to send him to school. Tn that situation he was arrest ed for violation of the so-called com pulsory education law and was bound over to the superior court.
 There is considerable likelihood that the case against Mir. and Mrs. James c. Brown of Hartford, who were ar rested after refusing to present their children at scaool yaccinated will be noiled before the end of the term.

His condition has been regarded as serious for the past few weeks and although he showed slight Improvement of late. his death was not unexpected.
 The plight Of the family is one O, the most pathetic that has come to light in the history of the town. The six children of the family have been afflicted with smallpox and the entire household has been quarantined while the father has been bedridden with an afflictlon that has made him a semi invalid for the past three years.
 Mir Roscoe Is survived by his wife, Christina, four daughters, Josephine, Louise. Teresa and Rose. and two sons, James and Dominic, all of Plainville, and one sister In Italy.

SEN. RALSTON IS NOT
 TO BE A CANDIDATE
Asks Indiana Convention to Forget Him-Wants un-
 instructed Delegation

Indianapolis. June b.-DeelarinB there "is something about the great ness Of this exalted position that ad- monishes me against wanting to un- dertake the execution Of its grave and solemn duties" United States Senator Samuel Nj. Ralston today urged the Indiana democratic state convention not to consider him a candidate for the presidency
 Great as this honor is, however, I would not speak truthfuily to you should 1 refrain from saying that I have never aspired to the presidency of this country" he said. ''If there be those who doubt my sincerity in what l am saying, let me lay sddi- tional emphasis on my state of mind by declaring that this convention will please me most by allowing the delegates from Indiana to the New York convention to go uninstructed.
 "I am anxious that the delegates from my home state shall go to the national convention with open minds and perfect freedom 10 participate in nominating The best man to lead our party in the presidential contest this year"
 "If such candidate is chosen" Senator Ralron asserted, his vision will sweep the world around and while by word and contribution he will want his country to lead is the service Of mankind. still he will take care that the constitutional rights Of America are not surrendered or placed in jeopardy"
 The salvation Of the people and the success of popular government rest absolutely on the honesty, and effi- ciency Of public servants, inc speaker told the convention.
 Without honesty. without intelli- gence and economy in public expendi- lures no political party deserves the public confidence" he declared, Fall other issues are secondary to this con- slderation and it is up to the Ameri- can people themselves to say wheth- CT or not they shall have the public service to which they are entitled. One thing is certain. They cannot have it unless they can take their stand as Thomas Jefferson did in opposition to our government showing favoritism to any class. l submit 10 your judgment and your own conscience that the de- plorable conditions in our govern met are the direct results Of the doc Urine Of special privilege"
 Senator RaIeton declared that no government can be called honest that fails to uphold the equality Of rights of individual citizens or permits citi- zsns generally 10 be taxed for the benefit Of a favored few.

CAN'T KEEP CHARACTER
 UNDER LOCK AND KEY
c. n. Allen Reads It and Proves His Claim at Rotary Club
 Meeting.

Telling g mans character by the lines in bis face, the shape Of his head and other characteristics, was explained in detail 10 one Of the larg- est gatherings the New Britain Ro- tary club has had, by c. ID. Allen of New York and southington, at the regular weekly meeting today.
 Mir. Allen is an expert on character analysis and spent hours with the late President Roosevelt. has analysed the character of William Jennings Bryan and one time warned Stanford White hat his fondness for other mems wives would some day get him in trouble. He says no man can be a success unless he practices some character analysis and learns to read character.
 He drew sketches Of different kinds of faces, shapes Of heads and faces and explained the theory by which character is read. He amused and startled his audience by picking out men all around the room and analyz- ing their character with accuracy.
 He told his hearers how the mind expresses itself in features and also tow the features change as the mem islity of the person develops. He ex- plained in brief a fewa fundamental things about palmistry and denied that 1t is a form of fortune telling.
 Harold Shepherd was appointed chairman of the transportation conn uittee to the New Britain Fresh Air tamp this year. Others on the com mittee are Dr. R. W. Pulien, Howard sherman, O. A. TorreEl and Louis s. Jones.
 The invitation to have Rotary night al the Boy Scout camp at Portland August IS vas accepted.
