.NEWINGTON VOTERS
 SEEK CANDIDATES.
II Pape Does Not Run, Town May Send Woman to Assembly

Republican voters in Newington are doing considerable speculating these days on the next legislative possibilities from that district. There are many guesses being made, as to the possible candidate. although to date no one has announced him. self or herself as an aspirant.
 Elmer w. Pape, who represented the district in the legislature last year and who is understood to have stated that he would not be a candi- date to succeed himself. is said to nave been approached by a number Of G. o. P. leaders with a view to having him change his mind.
 Miss Mary Wells, executive secre- tary of the Connecticut Consumers League, who opposed Mir. Pape for the nomination last year and who gave him a hard battle, is expected to be candidate again although no official statement has been made.
 The republican town committee is said not to be functioning, and at the last election both candidates built up their own organizations. Prominent republicans predict sev- eral changes in the committee this year. when a new chairman will be elected to succeed Clifton c. Mc- kenna, who has gone to the New York office of the American Hard ware corporation. Who the new chairman will be is also a matter of speculation. The present vice. chairman is Mrs. F.. B. Proudman, who is being mentioned by some for the chairmanship, while others are said to prefer one of the opposite sex.
 In the meantime Miss WelIes' or ganization is said to have gained in strength within the past two years. How actively she and her campaign manager worked two years ago was shown when so much interest de- Veloped in the caucus that instead of the usual 2 or 14 people, more than 800 turned out to vote. Mir. Pape is said to have gained in strength aslo as a result of his term in the general assembly.
 There is a feeling that if Mir. Pape decides not to be candidate for reelection, Newington may send a woman 10 Hartford this election.

George O'Brien gives a convincing performance in the role of the hero. Here is a dynamic character played with emotional understanding. Madge Bellamy is captivating as the plucky little war nurse who loyalty sticks to the hero after he aban- dons her for the vampire. Margaret Livingston plays the role of the vampire superbly.
 The vaudeville bill for the last half of this week consists of Den no Sisters and Thiebault who open the show with some very clever military dances. DeVine and Gould present a clever bit entitled Post Haste" The Yachting Frolics con- tain a little bit of everything, con- edy, singing. dancing and all that they do is very good. Coscia and Verdi are clever comedians and take a good deal of the applause of the show. Erford's Oddities is a surprise novelty which you will on ly know what it is by seeing it.
 The show as a whole is very good.

Jack London Story Lyceum

NfN ASoiooi INteWIIl
 Morganson's Finish" one of the late Jack London's most virile and red blooded stories done into a film drama, opend at the Lyceum theater this afternoon and the companion feature, by no less noted author, is The Recreation of Brian Kent" from the novel of the same name by Harold Bell Wright.
 The novel "The Recreation of Brian Kent" has been read by millions and it's touching story of the hill village of the old south is a thoroughly enjoyable one. Ken meth Harlan has the role of Brian Kent and Helen Chadwick, Zazu Pitts, Mary Carr and others have good roles.
 "A1organson's Finish features Anita Stewart, Johnnie Walker, Mahlon Hamilton and other well known. film players. The story is as exciting as one could wish. It starts in the effete East, from whence two men who love the same girl go to Alaska with the gold rush. One rival seeks only fortune. The other seeks to eliminate his rival. How a dastardly act by the william is the means of uncovering huge gold mine and the bitter fight between the two men are two of the spectacular highlights of the pro- duction.
 Anita Stewart, as fragile and beautiful as ever as the pivotal character of the story is both charming in the first part and high ly dramatic in the Alaskan se- Guences.

"HAYOCv AT NEW PALACE

There is no question about the quality of Havoc" which opened up this afternoon at the New Palace. It is a powerful and convincing adaptation of the stage play which attained such great success in New York, London and Paris and seems destined to take it's place among the seasons best films.
 "Havos' is primarily a war pie ture. yet it is far from the conven- tional war epic with the usual con- fusion of battle scenes and pa triotic propaganda. Here is shown rather a cross-section of war, de- pending on atmosphere rather than incident to tell the story.

NEW HAVEN GAS
 CD. ID BE SOLD
Directors Approve Offer Made by
 KopperS Company

New Haven, Aug. 19 Pl-The New Haven Gas Light company, capital ized at S5,500,00o, is about to be sold, subject to agreement as to de- tails which are yet to be drafted, but which, as they stand, are agreea ble and acceptable to all its directors. The transaction, based on present market quotations, involves S14,300,- 900. The Koppers Company of Penn sylvania is the prospective purchas- CT. Andrew s. Mellen, secretary of the treasury, is interested in the koppers company.
 President Clarence BlakesIee ofthe New Haven Gas Light company ad- dressed notice to stockholders on Tuesday as follows:
 This is to advise you that you will soon be notified of an offer for the acquisition of a majority or all of the shares of the stock of this company, which is available to all of the stockholders upon equal terms.
 Subject to agreement as to de- tails, this offer has been approved by each member of the board of di- rectors, and each will accept it."
 This was the first official informa- tion received by stockholders in re- gard to the negotiations, although it has been rumored from time to time that overtures had been made by the koppers company.
 Recently the stock has been ac- tive in the market and it is current ly reported that Hartford investment bankers have been buying stock The stock has ranged from S60 a share upward recently. Today the market for the stock was quoted s6S bid s65 asked, and this is said to be a fair basis for the transaction. The dividend rate the past year was 10 per cent.
 Because the terms of the purchase are not completed it is impossible at this time to give complete details as to the exact price to be offered or the general terms of the transaction.
 The koppers Company of Penn sylvania now makes entry into Con necticut and it is believed that the interest of this country in the state will be expanded. More than a year ago the company had an agreement with the Hartford City Gas Light company, by which it was to take over that company.
 The New Haven Gas Light com pany is one of the oldest gas supply companies in Connecticut, having been incorporated by an act of the General Assembly in 1S47. The com pany's charter is unlimited as to time.
 In addition to the city of New Haven, the company supplies towns nearby, including Branford, East Haven, North Haven, West Haven, Elamden, Woodmont, Milford and Woodbridge, territory of about 100000 population.
 The company's gas main system is more than All miles in length, an increase of about 16 miles in the last five years. There are 60,954 me- ters in service, an increase of 2,T41 in five years. The report for 1920 showed O23,564,0O0 cubic feet of gas sold and for the last year the gas sold was slightly less, being l., 995,129,000.
 The New Haven Gas Light com pany has no outstanding bonds. A comparatively recent report dis closed there were approximately D.

Judge Who Soaked Shopmen
During Big Strike Now Faces
Impeachment Proceedings

BY International Labor News Service.
Chicago.-Illinois trade unionists
are shedding no tears over the pros
pective impeachment in congress Of
Federal Judge George w. English, of
the eastern district of Illinois.
Judge English issued some of the
most drastic and brutal orders from
his bench at East St. Louis, ILL.,, that
were put forth by any federal Judge
during the railroad shopmen's strike
five years ago. Judge English was
merciless to both the strikers and to
their sympathizers.
1t is related that many merchants
at East st. Louis were threatened
with Imprisonment by Judge English
because the merchants had refused to
supply foodstuffs and other supplies
to the strikebreakers.
Judge English's autocratic1 disbar-
ment of Charles Karsh, an East st.
Louis attorney, is recalled. Karsh had
previously made splendid record as
a member of the Illinois legislature,
and was former United States dis
trict attorney. Karsh had committed
the objectionable offense-in the eyes
of Judge English-of demanding jury
trials for strikers cited on contempt
charges.
Judge English was charged, in a
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive W. B. Boies (Rep., Iowa. with
having been guilty of acts which, in
contemplation of the constitution,
constitute high crimes and misde-
meanors requiring the interposition of
the constitutional powers of the house
of representatives"
1t was charged in the house by
Representatives Halves (Dem., Mo-
a year ago that Judge English had
deposited bankrupt funds in banks of
which he was a stockholder; that C.
B. Thomas, referee in bankruptcy in
his court, had been permitted to prac-
tice as an attorney in bankruptcy
cases, and that Judge English arbi-
trarily had disbarred attorneys for
using violent language.

ILLOGICAL
Position of Large Employ.
ers Pointed Out BY
LabOrite

Washington.-"If government must
not interfere with private business,
it is logical for the government to
scrap it's navy yards and arsenals, and
turn over every other activity to pri-
vate business" said N. P. Alifas, pres
ident navy yard district, international
Association of Machinists.
The trade unionist made this COM
ment in connection with a meeting of
representatives of 300 business organ
izations in this city.
"The purpose of the conference, as
| understand it," said Mr.. Alias, "is
to see that all supplies used by the
government, principally the navy and
war departments, are purchased by
private contractors, instead of being
produced in government work shops
IF this is good policy, it is also log
ical to insist that the post office de-
partment be abolished and the distri-
button of mail placed in private hands.
All government buildings might be
vacated, that private builders and
landlords be encouraged. There is no
reason why the bulk Of the business of
the several executive departments
should not be turned over to private
parties SO long as we have private
auditing, accounting and printing
companies ready to handle the busi-
ness of the government at a profit" /"
The employers program, Mr.. Atlas
said, would mean the closing down of
all navy yards, arsenals and torpedo
stations.
"By following out this line of rea-
soning, the absurdity of trying to put
the government out of business can
be appreciated. Furthermore, many
Of the concerns represented in this
conference pay the lowest wages" he
said

already published, are considered val
liable contributions to this study on
home conditions.
| A study of elimination of unneces-
sary fatigue, the bureau feels, also
should be taken up without further
delay as the whole question of oppor-
tunity of employment and occupa-
tional progress of women is SO deeply
involved with problems of occupation
al adjustment.
1t is unfortunate, the report points
out, that the demands for information
on many phases of the work of the
bureau must be continually deferred
because they exceed the capacity Of
the organization. For example, an in
tensive study should be made relative
to the employment of married women,
which has become subject of su-
preme Importance nationally. The
problem of the married woman who
works, and especially of the mother
who works, linked so closely as it is
with the welfare of the home and
family. IS naturally one of the most
vital as we'll as one Of the most COM
plex problems before the country to-
day.
Census figures show that there were
almost 100000 married women in
gainful occupations in 1920, and that
there was 53.7 per cent increase in
the number Of married women in
manufacturing and mechanical indus
tries, trade, and transportation during
the decade from 1910 to 1920. Despite
the many complicating social and eco
nomic factors the bureau feels that a
scientific study of the whole question
would make for a reduction of exist
ing problems. A special appropria-
ton, however, will be necessary to
carry out study of this magnitude
The work of the women's bureau
during the past year, the report
shows, covers numerous special
studies as well as surveys in six
states of conditions surrounding the
employment of women in industry.
