reading the following poem:
 SOMETIME AT EVE. Sometime at eve, when the tide is low. I shall slip my moorings and sail
 away With no response to the friendly
 hail Of kindred craft in the busy bay. In the silent hush of the twilight
 pale When the night stoops down to en-
 brace the day And the voices call in the waters
 flow Sometime at eve when the tide is shall slip my moorings and sail
 away. Through the purpling shadows that
 darkly trail Ger the ebbing tide of the unknown sea I shall fare me away with a dip of
 sail and a ripple of waters to
 tell the tale Of lonely voyager sailing away To the mystic isles where at anchor
 lay The crafts of those who have sailed
 before. Ger the unknown sea to the unseen
 shore A few who have watched me sail Will miss my craft from the busy
 bay, Some friendly barks that were an-
 chored near, Some loving souls that my heart held
 dear But l shall have peacefully furled
 my sail In moorings sheltered from storm
 and gale And greeted the friends who have
 sailed before Der the unknown sea to the Unseen
 Shore.

Adopting a platform which would
 reduce the town taxes, call for the construction of more and better awarding contracts for the construc- ton of concrete bridges and giving more time to the duties of the office, William I. filling and w. H. Web ster this morning announced their candidacy for the offices of first on the republican ticket. Alling is opposing the present first selectman, George E. Carter, who has also an- nounced his intentions of again running for the office.
 Both filling and Webster claim that many residents of the town feel it is time for an entire new repubi- can administration to step in and run the affairs of Berlin. They feel that the townspeople have not been justly treated at the hands of the present officials and believe that much can be done to benefit the town if they are elected. Both of the men have long been interested In Berlin politics and feel sure that they will receive the support of the town and will be nominated for the office at the next republican caucus which will be held in September.
 The following Is a statement is- sued by the two men this morning: ITO the Republican Electors of the town of Berlin.
 Upon the solicitation of a large number of the citizens of the town we the undersigned have decided t. allow our names to be used at the republican caucus to be held for the nomination of candidates for the off, fee of selectmen.

U. S. ENTERS IN
RACE TO OBTAIN
new DEATH RAY
Mathews, Inventor, Bid
ding With 8 Countries
on Invention
by United Press Leased Wire

PARIS, May 2S.-Americans have
entered the race to obtain the secret
of Grindell Mathews death ray,
Mathews said today.
/ With Great Britain, the inventor S
own country, and France in c0mpc-
,tition for the diabolical invention
which it is claimed, may rcvolu-
tionize war and make the nation
which holds it supreme, Mathews
gave out that he had received n
written offer from the United States.
Other reports said the national
academy of sciences at Washington
lad cabled the inventor asking par
ticulars and. that American naval
attaches here had been ordered to
investigate Mathews claims.
American officials here denied
that the United States government
was in any way interested in the
ray.
The inventor kept in hiding most
of the day, possibly for the pur-
pose of AVOIDING process servers.
n PURSUED LII Fldu
Meanwhile both French and Brit
ish claim to have definite con
tract with the inventor emitting
them to a share in the deadly ray.
When the latter angry because
the British government offered him
but 1000 pounds sterling for the in
vention, he flew from England to
France yesterday. He was pursued
at the last minute by lawyer with
writ of injunction obtained on
behalf of some Englishmen who
claim 50 per cent of the rights in
the ray.
Mathews today denied that these
countrymen of his had a contract
and said their option expired a
month ago.
~ IN going to wait until Friday
noon. If no satisfactory PROPOSE
ton is Forthcoming from my own
country, l will sign contract with
n French firm at Lyons.
The French firm to which he re-
fers, headed by one M. Roger, IN
sists Mathews already has signed
contracts providing for delivery of
the diabolical ray to France.
Mathews, after interviewing Roy
cr's representative here ana find
ing that the British had started ac-
ton in the French courts to re-
strain him from selling his secret
in France, disappeared, ray and all.
1t was believed he had gone to

In prefacing his decision, Judge
Conkling said: '.The question to be
determined in each ease is, can an
alien not eligible to citizenship be
employed to cultivate a farm under
II contract, which, either by divi-

makes the wages of the alien to de-
pcnd in whole or in part upon the
efficiency of the work of such alien,
--that makes him interested in the
amount and value of his product.
