WANTS REFERENDUM
 ON CITY MEMORIAL
Councilman Rutherford Will Sub
 nit Resolution Tonight
SEEKS SOLDIER OPINION
Second Warder Believes There Is Some Sentiment for Club House or uditorium-Suggest Ex-SerVice- mems Vote.

Opposition to the erection of a shaft on Walnut Hill park as me- morial to New Britain servicemen who died during the war, has de- Neloped about the city, according to information that has reached Coun- cilman Arthur N. Rutherford of the second ward, who announced today that he will introduce q resolution at tonight's council meeting asking that referendum be held to give the soldiers an opportunity to express their preference as to the type of memorial they favor.
 The second ward councilman ex- plained his stand on the memorial this morning. He admitted the pro- posed shaft to be a monument of beauty. but felt the construction Of memorial is Of vital interest to tho the courtesy of a chance to say what kind of memorial they wish. He has heard, he said, that a memorial build ing would be preferred by many of lhe soldiers. This might take the form of a clubhouse for servicemen. or a municipal auditorium, dedicated to the memory of the dead and bene- iicial to the living also, Councilman Rutherford explains.
 The councilman has made inquiries that elicited the information that the present memorial plan has never come before ex-scrvicemens organi- za;ion for an expression Of approval or dsapproval.
 Councilman Rutherford said this morning he is not prepared to vote on the report until he is informed as to the ex-soldlers' wishes. In no other way than through referendum can this information be secured, he believes. and he favors deferring action on the report for one or more weeks.
 If Rutherrord's suggestion meets the councils approval, letters will be mailed to each of the city's $500 ex- seryicemen and they will be asked to register their choice between q me- morial of the type suggested by the committee or clubhouse and mu- nicipal auditorium.
 If it is decided to erect the memo rial as suggested, part of the money can be raised by bono issue and part by direct taxation, Chairman E. F. Hall of the board Of finance and taxa ton explains. Money raised through the sale of bonds can be used for erecting the pergolas on either side Of the wading pool and for improving the pool. but not for the memorial proper. Not more han Il one and one-h half mills tax can be levied for memorial under exist 1 ing state laws. Chairman Hall has found.

DRINKING BOUTS BLAMED
 FOR FOUR SUDDEN DEATHS
New Haven Authorities Find That Liquor Was Contributory
 Cause in Each Demise

New Haven, April 25.-Four men and a woman who have died here since Saturday had indulged in liquor prior to their death, the police have found, and unofficial opinion is that poisonous liquor was a contributory cause.
 In each instance the police learned the victim was in a state of collapse after intoxication.
 The official finding in the cases of the four men makes liquor only a contributory cause. The woman's death followed a drinking spell. Two of the men were found dead in a rooming house with gas leaking from burner. Had they not been in deep stupor the police believe both would have resisted the effects of the gas. Identification is uncertain in both instances.
 A man who died Sunday after a period of stupor was recognized to- day as James +. Fitzgemld of Oyster River who is thought to have brother in Ansonia.
 The fourth man was lying in the road and an automobile ran over him.

Balloonists Ready.

San Antonio, Tex, April B. Ssven pilots and their seven aides had completed all their preparations early today for the start this after noon in the national balloon elimina- ton race at Kelly field, except to in- fate the great gas bags. This work will not be started until only a few hours before the race, and will be in charge of Lieutenant Frank Kehoe, hydrogen expert of the United States army. in charge of gas activities for the lighter than air work at Scott field. III.
 The use of natural gas at Kelly field makes it possible to intlate the bags in a short time and because of this. Lieutenant Kehoe predicted that new American and possibly world records would be broken, He ex- plained that the lifting power of the big bag is always greatest imme- diateiy after imitation, since the gas gradually weakens as time elapses. The greater lifting power, he said, enables the pilot Co take on more ballast and therein lies the secret Of the winner. More ballast means longer flight, and if properly han. died, a greater distance.
 Hazardous Task.
 The gas will be mixed with hydro gen and getting the exact proportions and doing 1t safely. is hazardous task. Lieutenant Kehoe said. The gas is highly, ihfammable and the hydrogen is both explosive and in- aanmahle. Lieutenant Kehoe will be assisted by trained experts from the lighter-than-air personnel at va. rious fields.
 Favorable weather conditions are predicted and tho first balloon is scheduled 10 take the air ct 4;S0 p. m. The court is scheduled 10 take the air ht 4:5o p. m. The course is expected to be northeast. To break the worlds record or 1896 miles, inc winner must travel as far as Bangor. Maine.

NEW TIME IN FACTORIES
Manufacturers Will Probably start cs summer schedule Monday, Each Following Own Policy.

lt is probable that New Britain factories will go on daylight saving time Monday morning of next week, according 10 Arthur l.. Brown. secre- tary of the office of the Manufactur- CTS Association of Hartford county, in ihis city. Mir Brown stated that il is undecided what will be done in re- gard to the changing Of the clocks. He was of the belief that each plant will follow it's own policy.
 Mir. Brown stated that there has been nothing official generally regard ing the change, but since railroads and some Of the New Britain factories are going on the new time, it is likely that all will follow suit. Several of the fac- tories have posted notices regarding inc change posted.
 There will be no change in the time of services in the local churches this Sunday according to census of many of the local ministers, because of the fact that no announcements were made in the churches last Sunday. The services April 27 will be held in accordance with the present schedule and on the same time. The first Sum day in May 1t is likely services will be called an hour earlier on standard time. There seems to be no senti- ment in favor of any change in clocks.
