Joseph Brick Suffers a
Fracture of Right
Leg

Several Connecticut aspirants
have already stepped into the race
for the office of secretary to Ira NJ.
Ornburn of New Haven, recently
appointed to the United States tar
if commission as II democratic
member. Reports from Washing
ton, D. c.. are to the effect that
Mr. Ornburn plans to fill the posi-
ton soon and Is already busy study
ing the qualifications of several APP
plicants.
Under the rules of the commits
sion each member is permitted to
select his own secretary. At the
present time Mr. Ornburn Is en-
ploying a young woman. temporar-
lily. She has been supplied him by
the commission.
The post Of secretary pays from
$4,000 to $4,000 annually, depend
ing upon the length of service of
the incumbent. If Ornhurn selects
some one from Connecticut not
now connected with the commits
sion. the starting salary will likely
be $4,000. ..
AS far as could be learned to-
day, no Waterburian has applied
for the post Of secretary to the
New Haven man. 1t is likely that
the man selected will be demo-
crat although 1t Is also possible
that q republican may be selected
in view of the influence brought to
bear by Senator Hiram Bingham to
get Ornburn the appointment to
the mission.

Unless this vicinity of the state
experiences a prolonged cold spell
local ice dealers face a trying sum-
mer for natural ice. Not in many
years has such unfavorable
weather existed, unfavorable to Mr.
Ice Man, but undoubtedly a good
break for that portion of the gen.

preston Is a reality, not an excuse.
The Southern New England Ice
Corporation, the largest dealers of
Natural as well as artificial ice in
this section of the state, has made
no attempts to harvest ice at Lake
wood. Inquiries at the offices of
local dealers also resulted in the
statement that no attempts had
been made to hoard any of the
thin ice that was available from
time to time. Superintendent
Matthew J. Smith of the Brookside
home has succeeded in storing
away several tons of ice measuring
five inches in thickness, but If
