PASTORS SPLIT
 ON RAIN PRAYERS
CrOp-Killing Drough t Causes Controversy
 in Dallas, Texas

Dallas, Tex (UP)-After more than 100 days of crop killing, drought, Dallas ministers could not agree on the efficacy of pray CTS for rain.
 Dr Wallace Bassett, pastor of Cliff Temple Baptist chuch, re- fused to follow the suit of his col leagues and ask providential alle- viation of the drought.
 T believe we should try to live according to the will of God and let God regulate the weather" he said.
 Dr Thomas F. Gallagher, of the Oak Cliff Presbyterian church, be- lieves, on the other hand, that 1t is the right thing to do" and said he would keep right on praying Tor rain, although his previous pe- titions went unanswered.
 We have Scriptural warrant for it," he said. T believe our prayers will be answered"
 The Rev Albert W. Luper, pastor of the First Baptist church of Oak Cliff, declared God sent the drought to punish the people for their waywardness.
 To the Rev E. w. Goodloe of the Oak Cliff Methodist church it was case of pray and let pray.
 "1t is against my policy to have special prayers for rain," he said. But I'm not opposed to people who do pray"

Appeal ToP Pedestrians
 To "Look Both Ways"
Reduction in Accidents Possible If Everyone Observes
 Simple Rules-Be Careful in Crossing Streets

Now the members of the Demo- crat's Safe Drivers Club are going to ask the public to assist them in avoiding accidents. Here is a re- quest that we know every careful driver favors and we know the public will respond:
 Look both ways"
 Many persons lose their lives or are seriously injured crossing streets on which a line of cars are parked on both sides. This leaves a narrow lane in the center of the street for moving cars in both di- rections and it is impossible for a driver to turn out to avoid running into pedestrians.

Tavern Keepers to Seek Rights Through Pol
PLAINTIFF LOSES
 JUDGES DECISION
Unusual Ruling Handed Down Dismising Local
 WOman's Petition
Especial to the Democrat)

winsted, July 2S-Dismissal of the foreclosure suit brought by Myrtle A. Miller of Waterbury against Ethel M. Miller of Pleasant Valley is made by Judge Ebert B. Hamlin in an unusual decision handed down in the Litchfield common pleas court yesterday.
 Judge Hamlin upholds the con- tention of the defendant that the mortgage note undertaken by the defendant was presented by mis- representation and without consid- eration. The defendant purchased a farm in Pleasant Valley, paying $8 . 100. She took out a first mortgage of $1,S00 with a savings bank and gave the defendant her second mortgage note of $3,350. Cash of $S.000 was paid in the purchase plan.
 shortly after the purchase. fire broke out in the dwelling and an insurance company paid the de- fendant $4,000. From this sum she paid off the first mortgage and $2,000 of the second. The defendant then induced the plaintiff to exe- cute new note which made the mortgage a demand mortgage rather than time mortgage as the plaintiff thought. says the decision of Judge Hamlin. He dismissed the petition of the plaintiff to fore close on the property holding that the mortgage is void.

Proposals Will Bt
 Submitted Tuesday
 At Mass Meeting
Serving of Strong Drink and Equal Staining for
 Taverns and Restaurants Among Questins to Be Debated at C0nfab

s
 That tavern owners oithis city take a definite and unied stand for the coming state -eledons will be the proposal made whd a mass meeting of all tavern op$ators is held Tuesday afternoon Moose hall. it has been learned bn reli- able authority. The m4ting is being sponsored by the Waterbury local of the Retail, BeerE Wine and Liquor Merchants ass&iation of Connecticut but every tavern proprietor in the city has ben in- vited to the session with the prom ise that discussion of hnatters equally important to all till take place.
 It Is probable that if he pro- posal meets the approval pf most of those present at the meeting, the support given the lArty or candidates will be extremef active. Thus far both the state hssocia- ton and the Waterbur local branch have refrained fbm any open political activity but [ is felt generally by the owners bat this fall is the strategic timeI to en- ter the field.
 Strong Drinks PreferRd
 What the tavern owneB want and have wanted since thd repeal of the prohibition law is state law that will allow serving of strong liquor by the drink. Tavern men have other plans and hgges- tions besides that, but thadis by far the most important and 4e one which they hope to have male ef- fective at the next session # the state legislature. An earlN pro- posal of the state association was for the return of county c4trol but this plan was gradually pushed into the background as it met with wide public disapproval.
 With liquor already an &C., factor of prime im- portance in. the coming stte cleo tions, the tavern men eel that they are in strategic pSition as far as any subsequent develop ments are concerned. ne state is conceded tdhave the control of many thouands Of votes. Tn this city alone the beer estimates tha through its members and their hmilies 1t at least severaIthousand certain votes, ready to- go what ever way is decided on.
 Equal Status
 Another point that tff state as- sociation and its variou branches will probably insist on before 1t swings it's support to a certain is an effort t make the status of taverns and restaurants more nearly equal. It is felt by tavern operators that ne orleinai and chaEes made since then by the tate liquor have been discrimin- atory towards them.
 A demand will ppbably be made of both major prties that taverns be placed on anequal foot ing with restaurants Ind grills. Particularly, it is known, this de- mand will center on the recent forbidding music ami in tavehs, making new lighting and winlow regula- tions and forcing tavens to report any planned alterations to the for approval before work is begun.
 Tactics for the coming conven- tions and the ensuing campaigns will probably be ta ken up under cover when all sta e members or the association gatler for an all- day outing and field day at Walnut Beach next Sunday An attend ance of several thousand is ex- pected.

Under such circumstances it is wise to cross the street at establish ed crossings instead of in the mii- dle of the block. If you attempt to cross in the center of the block please look both ways. Make sure if you attempt to cross in front or the rear of an approaching car that you have clear passage against cars moving on the other side in the opposite direction.
 If pedestrians will watch out as we'll as auto drivers many thous- ands of accidents may be avoided.

 Scanty funds, according to Will liam A. Jackson, who is in charge of the city's electrical bureau, is the reason for maintaining the lamps.
 We would like to replace them," he said, but for this pur- pose have only $5,000 appropria- tion in the 1894 budget. That would give about one new light to each of the 50 wards"
 Until tax collections are nor maj it Is likely that we'll continue to have gasoline lamps"
 Each of the gas lamps has a pilot light and is controlled by an automatic time switch. But for the gasoline lamps it is necessary to employ about 20 men. who travel about before dark with a ladder and a torch to light them-just like the original Larry had to do. Quite a few of the modern lamp lighters, however, make their rounds in automobiles-something the Larry of the sos merely dreamed about.

Politics

Just like veteran football coaches, political leaders are looking over the ''linc-ups" in the camps of the milk and liq- uor forces. Regardless of party sentiment it is n fore gone conclusion that both sides are likely to have good- size "hcadache" long before the morning after the election from the mixed ingredients.

When Postmaster James Farley returns home and has a chance to look over his mail he will find a number of notes from Waterbury urging him to use his influence to reinstate Dr. Edward G. Dolan of Man chester as internal revenue collector of Connecticut. AL though senatorial ambitions may be fitting about the doc tors mind his closest friends are urging him to stand pat for his former position of col- lector. Letters from all parts of the state, particularly from women leaders, will aisO be on Mir. Farley's desk endorsing Dr. Dolan.
 Mayor Frank Hayes has been quoted as stating that he Is for Congressman Francis T. MalODcy of Meriden when 1t comes to proposing names for the democratic nomination for U. s. Senator. As the Democrat prints elsewhere in tonight's issue that Waterbury's delega. ton will be solldly for Attor- ncy J. Joseph Smoth, 1t seems as if little old Waterbury is making up its mind rapidly as who's who in the crowd of candidates. And the conven- tiOnS arcs till six weeks away.
 During the coming week several meetings of political clubs will lbe held. In point of organization whether it is uni- fled or not. the coming cam paigns should be the most in. tcresting held in years.
 Local republicans are lend- ing an attentive car to persist ent rumors that Lieutenant Governor Roy Wilcox may be sidc-tracked when the state republican convention is held. As Mir. Wilcox has many warm friends here, any efforts made to substitute another for the nomination for governor may prccipitate a fight. Well, it has happened before when G. 0. F. generals decide that change in the batting order has been made necessary, by unexpected opposition. It's part of the game as it were.
