Small Loan Companies in State
 Do $2,5OO,0OO Business Annually
Bank Commissioner Lays Growth in This Branch to Wave of Installment Buying Which Gets Many People Into Debts They Cannot Pay-Thinks Inter- est of 42 Per Cent Year Not Too High

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 12 R-A steady increase in the number of small loan companies throughout the state has been noted by State Bank Commissioner John B. Byrne during the past year. Seventy-one loan con- panies were in existence under state licenses on September 30, 1925, and since that time, the commissioner states more than a dozen new ones have been organized
 Blames Installmcnt Buying
 This increase in loan companies, the commissioner said had consid- erablesignificance, since it indicated that the class of people who were unable to get loans at established banks was becoming larger. The loan companies, he pointed out, op- crate among a group of people whose financial standing Is so ques- tionable that bank would not be permitted to advance money to them. He attributed the increase in the number of such people, in part at least, to the extraordinary growth
  of installment buying. through which people of small means assume debts greater than their incomes can stand
 Loans made by these companies outstanding on September 80. 1925, amounted 10 sS,Ol9,242.o4, and the yearly business of the companies, Commissioner Bryne said was ap. proXimately s2,500,000.
 42 Per Cent Year
 The bank commissioner, however, does not advocate the discontinu- ance of loan companies, for he said, many of them do considerable amount of good among honest peo- pie in unfortunate circumstances, who have no other place to get

es milk in town. A veterinary sur
 seon will look over the milch cows. Source of Danger In prognosis of cases three symp- toms have been noted: Sore throat, intestinal disturbance and a slight
 nasal cold. The serious cases have arisen from the fact that a patient
 having had slight run of sore
 throat has exerted himself or her self bringing on a relapse. Dr. knowlton's advice has been that patients should go to bed during the run of sore throat and exercise care immediately after. The exact nature of the throat infection is be- ing studied by a bacteriologist. It apparently is septic in nature. Its inception may be through use of raw milk but this is yet to be deter mined.
 Doctor Himself Stricken
 Dr. Rindge who has had more than 100 cases has gone to New Haven hospital for treatment hav- ing symptoms of the bad throat condition.
 It was said here today that the source Of the infection had been To- calized in a farm hand at a dairy who had had sore throat and had unknowingly communicated the ail- ment 10 the COWS he was milking. By closing the dairy the state health officers expect to stop any further spread of the infection, and with a number Of doctors assisting in treating patients it was expected that the number Of persons ill will quick ly decrease.
 For the present social gatherings will be suspended. In one hotel there were l4 persons ill at one time, all of whom are now recovering.
 Hartford, Aug. 12 P-The epi- demic of sore throats in the town of Guilford and surrounding country that has resulted in four deaths and over 100 cases under doctors treat nent was caused by impure milk NAoliA eoNo III It lllllbSS with which so many people in that vicinity have been suffering is septic sore throat, an infection caused by the germ hemolytic streptococcus. The germ was isolated in the New Haven hospital where two cases of persons suffering from the disease have been treated. These facts were announced today by State Commis- sioner of Health Stanley H. Osborn, following an investigation by the state department of health mot the mysterious spread of sore throats md resultant deaths in Guilford.
 Dr. Osborn stated today that Dr. Willard Knowlton of the health de- 1artment, who has been investigat- ng the situation in Guilford, last | light ordered that no more milk be | aken from COWS in the suspected | lerd. Septic sore throat often takes i ! violent form. and is a disease hat must be carefully watched, Dr. Osborn said. The epidemic has been n progress since the beginning of August.

TALE OF KILLINGS DENIED BY MEXICO Priest Tells of Wholesale EXeCu-
 tiOn Of Catholics INTERIOR DEPT. UNAWARE
According to Archbishop Duiz, Two Priests And Between 27 And g. Catholics Were Executed After All Day Battle At Zahuayo.

| Me8lCo Clty, Aug. 12 P)-A re- | port of excesses and of executions growing out of the religious sftua- tion has been made to the arch. bishopric here by Archbishop Leo polo Ruizy Flores of the state of Michoacan. The ministry of the in- tertor announces that 1t has no knowledge of such happenings as the archbishop has reported. Reports 50 Killed
 The information brought to Mex leo City by Archbishop Ruiz is to the effect that two Catholic priests and between 27 and 37 Catholic citizens were executed after an all day battle between troops and Catholics in the town of zahuayo, state of Michoacan. The bishop es- timated that altogether 50 persons were killed in the battle.
 Other Executions Told
 The prelate als said that at Ac- ambaro. state of Guanajuato, dis orders arising from the religious controversy led to other executions. When the people of Acambaro re- fused to turn over thar churches to the municipal authfrities, the government engineers were killed by the crowd and their bodies hack ed almost to pieces, notwithstand- ing the fact that the priests appeal ed to the crowd to desist. Federal troops arrived and executed three and possibly more of the leaders, the prelate added.
 Protcstants Prosecuted
 At Irapuato. also in the state of Guanajuato, according to the arch bishop, a Protestant woman was killed when she taunted the Catho- lies as their services ended. The residences of sever~l Protestants were set on fire by the mob. Fed eral trops also were brought up here and executed three or four of the leaders of the mob.
 Govt. Issues Denial
 These disturbances are reported by Archbishop Ruiz to have taken place August 1 and 2. Secretary of the Interior Tejeda when informed of the prelate's assertions said his department knew nothing of them. Inquiry at the war department re- suited in inquiries being referred to the department of interior.
 The government has consistently asserted that the situation through out the nation has been tranquil with the exception of a few minor The newspapers have printed little or nothing regarding disorders. Nevertheless Mexico City | laily has been filled with rumors of | rouble in various parts of the coun- ny. But usually the person or per ,ons circulating these has not been | lble to vouch for them.
 Business Is Depressed
 The economic boycott continues 1 0 depress business, and there seem ngly are no prospects of a recon iliation of the completely opposed positions of the Catholic episcopate nd the government regarding the lew religious regulations.
 Minister of the Interior Tejeda as issued a statement declaring hat an interview alleged to have cen given to an American news aper by the Most Rev. Mora del Rio, archbishop of Mexico, violates he clause in the Mexican constitu ion prohibiting clergymen from the fundamental laws of Iexico or the Mexcan government.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS PROTEST CARD SYSTEM
Believe That Bremen Should Be Restricted
 to Firefghting

Protesting against the decision of the fire board to file information regarding the ability of firemen to do work other than that of, fire hghtlng. and contending that q mans skill in the building trades has nothing to do with his fire fight ing ability, the New Britain coun- cil International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers has adopted A set of resolutions setting forth its views.
 The resolutions. which are self explanatory, are as follows:
 MT. c. J. Dehm, Chairman. Fire Board.
 Dear Sir:
 According to a statement in the New Britain Herald your board has decided to install filing system de- signed to give details of a flreman's ability to do work other than that of a fire fighter and Local Union No. 37, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers protests against anyone hired to fight fires being us- ed to destroy the working condi- tiont of mechanics who must neces- sarily depend upon building con- struction and alterations for their livelihood.
 We are advised that the flremen themselves do not desire 10 be used for purposes akin to strike break CTS, namely the destruction of wages and working conditions of the wage earners. Curtailing the oppor- tunities of the building trades me- chanics can only result in their de- manding increased wages.
 we trust that your board will not install the system above refer red to and that 1t will not require f1remen to act in a manner repre- hensible to them.
 We believe that the work of firemen is to prevent, minimize and extinguish fires and that mans ability as a mechanic in the build ing trades has no proper bearing upon his qualifications as a fire man.
 The employers of New Britain building trades mechanics repre- sented by the New Britain build ing trades council are fully equip ped to do the work required.
 Hoping that your board will re- consider its action, with best wishes,
 Very truly yours,
 H. A. c. Gross.
 Business agent. L. |. No. 37,
 These resolutions were adopted at a meeting held last evening. It was voted to file a set with the board of fire commissioners and one with the building trades coun- Gil and the Central Labor Union.
 It was voted to form a ladies auxiliary, to be known as "Elec- trolettes," for the purpose of in- teresting themselves in the welfare of women in industry.
 Controversies existing between the brotherhood and local business concerns were left unsettled, pend- ing efforts to effect more har- monfous relations.

MATCH WILL
BE BATTLE OF
TEMPERAMENT
Suzanne Is Active and Viva.
cious, Helen Wills Is
Almost StOical

Cannes, France, Jan. 2l.--LP)-The
cyeshade habit Of Helen Wills has
caught the fancy of the women play
crs here the. same as it did in the
United States and England. 1t is now
as much vogue as Suzanne's multi
colored turban innovation started
four years ago.
"A battle of styles and of tcmpcra-
ment, IS far apart as is east from
the west,' is how the experts charac-
terize the coming match between the
French flash and the American cham
pion after having for two days watch
ed the two great players on the
courts here Miss Wills in two
matches at singles and Suzanne in
the women's doubles and mixed dou-
bles.
The French girl is vivacious, active
and temperamental and without enc
single weakness except perhaps, speed
of stroke. Miss Wills Is almost stoi-
cal, never smiling whether. winning
or losing. She is considered as hav-
ing fairly earned the nickname OF
Poker Face by which she is known
on the tennis courts in the United
States. Somewhat slow Of foot and
not possessing the variety OF strokes
Of Suzanne, but executing those she
knows most perfectly, and having
more speed than a majority of the

the opinion that the battle of the
turban and the eyeshade will be an
epic one.
