 New Britain has about @ cases of scarlet fever, although there are no typhoid fever cases, according to report by Dr. R. w. Pulen.
 The board received bids for gar hage collection in the second district from three collectors, two of whom have been garbage collectors before. Sven Swanson, who has been col lecting in that district for S6,000 a year, sent in his resignation, stating that he could not do it for less than SG,S0O. The garbage appropriation for three districts is S1S,000. The board was of the opinion that Mr. Swanson was the best collector the city has had. but did not see it's way clear to offer any more than s6,000. One other bidder, Fred Furman ask cd the same price, $6,S00. Furman also is a former collector. Louis Sicring offered to do the work for S6,5o0. The board voted to ask all bidders to appear at the next meet ing
 IL was remarked that the cost of garbage disposal is becoming higher each year and the difficulties of dis posing of it are increasing continu- ally. so tkat it Is only a question Of time until an incinerator will be ecessary. Dr. Pullcn said he thought an inCinerator which would dispose of rubbish as well as gar bagc would cost about $65.OOO. The board soon will be up against the problem of a new place to dispose of

 Physical Training Report
 Commissioner Cans reported on the investigation he has been con- ductinG regarding physical training for members of the department. He said he had interviewed an expert, who has conducted classes in phySi- cal training for mon in the police and fire departments of several cit ies. The references were good and the course is one especially pre- pared for fire and police employees but Mir, Cans was of tbe opinion that the Chargces in connection with this course would prove too eXces- sive for the commission to meet at the present time.
 He said that he has also spoken to Joseph Hergstrom, physical direc- tor of the New Britain I. M. C. A. in regard 10 the matter. Mr. licrg- Io ,o1l l., I a would be in a position to give inc training 10 the men at the various houses during the winter months for small cost.
 Mir. Cans said he was unable to say just what the cost would be, as the matter would probably be de- cided by the Y. M. C. A. directors. He said also that the exercises would be given 10 the men while on duty at the fire houses.
 Mr. Cans report was accepted as one of progress and he was instruct cd 10 proceed further with his in- vestigations.

North said that there are at present seven filling stations on West Main street, out as far as Barnesdale, which he said is Q great plenty. r. II. John ston of 376 West Main street also voiced his objection to an addi- tional filling station, saying that they are a continual annoyance to the neighborhood because of the noise of changing tires and doing other work. Mir. Johnston said that he had conducted a personal investigation and has found that as many as 50 cars pass his home every 10 minutes. He said that West Main street needs the careful attention of the city of New Britain as it is one of the principal roads leading into the city.

President Harding of any suspicion
by declaring there was no justifca-
ton for the statement by Mr.. VAN
derlip that the price paid for the
Star was exorbitant.
"Mr. Vanderlip would concur in
this statement if he were able to
speak," it says.

nounced here today as a fitting pun
ishment for 'Rt. Rev. William Mont
gomery Brown, retired bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese Of Ar
kansas The finding came from the
churchs board Of review after three
days of argument on the action OF

trines contrary to those held by the
church.

error in the trial, affirming those pro-
ceedings without exception.
Bishop William A. Leonard of
Cleveland, presiding officer Of the
court. explained that the power to
put the sentence into effect rests
with the house of bishops. That
body. which meets at the general
convention Of the church in New Or
leans next September, will hear tho
reports Of the trial and the review
courts and approve or disapprove
them. Approval can be given only by

II this majority is obtained in New
Orleans. the sentence announced to-
day will be formally pronounced by
the presiding bishop Of the church.

bot Of Bethlehem, Pa. Failure to OBJ
tain two thirds vote of all members
of the house of bishops would, it was
said. amount to reversal Of both of

ment of the resignation of c. Bas-

tary to the president, and the selec-

The announcement of Mr.. Ss2mp's
intention to retre did not come with
the startling suddenness that has at

Tor his resignation had been regard
ed in Washington as more than a
probability since the November
election. He will give up the secre-
taryship about the first of Febru-
AIRY and will resume the practice Of
law.
The selection of representative
Sanders was more unexpected. The
Indiana congressman. one of the
younger members and yet one of
the leaders in the house, did not
stand for reelection, last fall, and
had announced his intention of re-
turning to Indiana to practice law
He served during the campaign as
director OF the Republican National
Committee speakers bureau and as
such attracted the attention of the

duties at the White House after the
adjournment of congress March 4,

spend some time prior to then at
the executive Offices acquainting
himself with the secretarial work.

Hans Luther as
German Chancellor

Berlin, Jan. Is (By A. P0-Dr.
Hans Luther, recent minister OF
finance in the Marx-Stresemann cab
met is the new German chancellor.
He received his appointment this af-
ternoon from President Ebert.
: The new government the first
straightway Conservative Bourgeoise
cabinet since the republic was found
ed, will officially appear before the
reichstag tomorrow afternoon.
Six days were devoted to ironing
out the badly ruffled parliamentary
situation, which has caused trouble
in the ministry since last May and
which ultimately developed into a
helpless parliamentary impasse be-
cause of the indecisive results of the
recent general elections for the
Reichstag.
Chancellor Luther's cabinet repre-
sents the cumulative results of de-
termined efforts to eliminate the
powerful Socialist party and other
liberal bodies from the conduct OF
public affairs.
