MERCHANTS TO CLOSE
 ON SATURDAY NIGHTS
During July and August Will Be Open Friday
 Evenings Instead

By vote which was declared unanimous. New Britain merchants TOT this first time in local business history this morning decided to close thelr stores at o'clock Saturday evenings during the months Of July and August and to remain open until o'clock Friday evenings during the same months.
 The action which was taken at an open meeting at the Chamber of Commerce rooms this morning after debate lasting nearly two hours, was significant in the obvious fact that it has gone long way towards wiping out that mythical division line known in business cir cles as North of the track"
 This mornings meeting, while still fraught with North of the track" references. revealed for the first time a greater unanimity. Many north end merchants were present with open minds and several changes of vote were noted. AS has been the case in previous years. Louis Raphael, proprietor of the largest department store in the north end ot the city. and who was characterized by Fl. J. Connolly as the richest man in town" was declared 10 be the dominating influence in his busi. ress section of the city. This charge Mir. Raphael repeatedly denied.
 The meeting. which was set for 1f o'clock. was called to order at 1o:ls by Chairman Steve Robb of the Mer. cantile bureau. Mir Robh remarked as he opened the meeting. We have waited 15 minutes for the absentee. and they are still absent"
 Secretary Ralph H. Benson read the report of the committee on uni. form hours, recommending that stores close on the same hours as last year except during the summer Stores will close. according to tht recommendations. at p. m. ever, evening but Saturday and will close af 2 p. m..

BITTERNESS GROWS l. IN 4TH WARD FIGHT
Johnson Takes Larson to Task
 for Campaign Document
DISPUTE OVER TAX RATE
Democrats Have Contest in Sixth Ward Over Aldermauie Nomina- tion and tn Race For ConstabIes- Two C. Q. r. Contests.

Claiming an attempt is being made to defeat him With an eleventh hour campaign of false propaganda, AL derman J. Gustav Johnson today branded as untrue statements made in an unsigned pamphlet circulated in the fourth ward in the interests of Johnson's rival for the alder manic nomination, Councilman John A. Larson.
 An excerpt from the statement, 10 which Alderman Johnson takes particular objection reads:
 "Mr. Larson was one of the champions of lower tax rate ln the came up in the common council, MT. Larson held a conference with 8 number of fourth warders at his home and discussed a reduction of the tax rate and. as a result, drive was started in the common coun- cil which resulted in a reduction being made. Others have claimed credit for the lower tax rate, but Mir. Larson started the move for a cut in the budget which resulted in the adoption Of a lower tax rate" Johnson Replies The question for the voters of the fourth ward to decide is whether un- true campaign statements or official common council records should be believed, Alderman Johnson declared
 
 friends of his opponent. He pro duced records to show that on Janu- ary IS, one month before any budget was offered, he introduced resolu- ton asking the board Of finance and taxation 10 keep the budget down to a 25-mill rate. When the budget came to the council with a 26 ]. mills recommendation council rec ords show that Alderman Johnson introduced a resolution with Coun- cilmcn Bartlett, Olson and Gibney. and Alderman Falk. as sgners, rec ommending that it be referred back for further study and that council committee assist in the second prun- ing. Alderman Johnson was one Of the five members appoi>ted to serve on this committee. The council records. produced by Johnson today show that the 26 mills budget was adopted on motion of Alderman Falk, Johnson and Larson both vot- ing in favor.
 Interest in the primaries today centers about the Johnson Larson contest for supremacy in the fourth i ward. Each candidate has con- ducted house-to- house canvass and has used the mails 10 carry his ap- peal for support.
 Five Candidates in First Ward In the first ward five candidates for the two councilmanic nomina- tions are ready for contest which is expected to bring out a record breaking vote. The contestants are Louis W. Nogel, w. G. Gibney. Will liam F. Huber. Charles May and Roger Whitman.

Tipperary Tim Wins Gas sic With American Horse
 in Second Place

Aintrce, Eng, March 30 tPp-Only two horses. one of them American bred, of the 42 starters in the his toric Grand National finished today in one of the most sensational run- nings of this classic event since it's inauguration in 1889.
 Tipperary Tim. owned by Fl. s. Kenyon and ridden by J. Dutton. an amateur. proved 10 have the stamina and luck to win. He was q 100 to l shot.
 The great American fayorite, Billy Barton, a 33-l shot. owned by How ard Bruce of Baltimore. made a grand race of it but lost his chance to become the first American bred horse to win the historic chase by an unluCky fall at the very last fence.
 He was remounted by his Irish jockey. Cullinan, and finished the course. capturing second place. The rect of the field. jockeys and horses. were scattered all over the sruel- ling ground.
 The AinIree course is regarded as one of the most difficult i'll the world and is such severe test that in all previous races most Of the horses have fallen. The distance of four miles and S56 yards is over a course covered with 30 formidable jumps and part of the course is over ploughed ground.
 One of the most famous jumps is BocCher's brook.
 This is a fence five feet high and three feet three inches wide.

FINDING RESOLVES BOXERS OPPONENT
Coroner ExOnerates Carroll in
 Youths Death
RED MEN NOT BLAMED
Fhclan, However, Offers No Criticism 1n Report or Suggestions Regard ing Conduct of Future Bout Makes Brief Statement.

Bridge port, March 30 Rl-1n re- turning his finding today in the case Of Horace Aliff, 17, of Meriden. who d'ed at St. Vincent's hospital on March 24, three days after partici- patton in a so-called amateur bout, Coroner J. J. Phelan offers no sug- gestlon as to the conduct in the future of so-called amateur bouts.
 He .absolves Alitf's opponent, Thomas Carroll of Bridgeport and the athletic committee of the Red Men from criminal responsibility in the death,
 The Finding
 The coroner's finding, in part, fol- lows:
 'The evidence in general showing that the rules pertaining to the ac- tual ring fight were seemingly proper were carefully observed, as provided in the regular ones specified: that both boys having ring experience. went voluntarily into the contest without malice or advantage towards each other; and that the autopsy re- port of the medical examiner, show ing the improbability that the con test, other than the fight eXertion of the deceased. caused a thrombo- sis 70 form in the artery of his head, or aggravated an existing thrombosis already formed there, causing his death. I am of the opinion and so find, that the deceased came to his death at the tune, place and from the cause shown, and that the said death was not caused by the crim- inal act. omission or carelessness of any person or persons
 ''I am not unmindful, however, be- fore closing this finding. of the ap- parent necessity of stating herein that the evidence taken before me tended to show that the commend able prctensions of the state amatur athletic body in fostering appropriate and honorable sports 10 the youth: of the state. in accordance with its and the national rules. appears to be ser iously handicapped, it is alleged, by it's officers and agents in properly enforcing the rules.
 Tn this regard the testimony taken tended to show it to be Of common knowledge that many young men amateurs. before and after eX- hibiting their boxing prowess in the squared circle are permitted to com mcrcialize themselves and their union. in the presence of the union authorities and others by requiring and receiving actual cash for their pugilistic endcavors in preference tc receiving the gifts and tokens speci- fled for by the unions named.
 Ut is also noted with regret that the desire of school men 10 keep their pupils of amateur school age in school, is frequently thwarted by the cash Inducements offered the latter for their pugilstic efforts at athletic exhibitions by boxing promoters or clubs"
