STRIKEBREAKERS ARE
 CHASED INTO WOODS AT
 PUGET SOUND LOCATION

SEATTLE, June 27.-A dozen ne- gro non-union cooks and stewards were beaten by 20 striking marine workers at Port Blakeley and chas- ed into the woods. Two of the negroes were badly beaten. They later stole out of the woods and begged passage back to Seattle aboard ferry. The others are pre- sumably in the woods.
 The police were informed the negroes were signed on by the Wa terfront Employers Association, ta- ken to Port Blakeley and were to be transferred to a tug to be brought back to Seattle under cover of darkness to be put aboard the steamship Admiral Rogers at Pier 40. The strikers followed in launch, met the negroes when they got off the ferry and beat them up.

ALASKA DEFENSE. BELIEVED PLANS AR MY'S FLIGHT
I'M artin Bombers Enroute
 to Fairbanks to Make Aerial Surveys

SEATTLE, June 27. The ten Martin bombing planes from Wash ington, D. C., are going only as far as Fairbanks, Alaska, and not to Nome as reported yesterday. The planes on the return flight may call at Juneau if suitable land- ing field is available.
 Aerial Outpost
 Hints here and also from Wash ington are that Alaska might be developed as an aerial outpost of the United States. It is also hinted that Secretary of Commerce Daniel c. Roper, now enroute to Alaska, may make a survey of commercial air possibilities of the Territory.
 Delegate Anthony J. Dimond has made attempts to obtain an air. base near Fairbanks. His bill never emerged from the committee.
 To Gather Data
 Officials in Washington, accord ing to advices received here, dis counted reports that the flight of the bombers were aerial maneuvers designed to make a theoretical defense of Alaska but Army of ficials said the Army planes will make a photographic and aerial survey and the data gathered will be valuable in preparation of any plans for defense of Alaska

Conditions in the fisheries oi Alaska are vastly better and that industry is emerging from the per iod of depression in way charac- teristic of the New Deal" declared Frank T. Bell, United States Com missioner of Fisheries, who arrived here this morning on the Brant for one day stay after which he will proceed to the Pribilof Islands visiting numerous communities and a number of salmon canneries en- route.

DRIVERS LICENSES 1. TO EXPIRE FEB. 2O
Failure to Renew Them Leaves Operators Open
 to Possible Fine

Names of persons who do not rec new their 1888 operators licenses upon their expiration on Wednes- day, February 2s, will be listed ac- cording to their respective com munities, 1t was announced today by Colonel Michael A. Connor, commissioner of motor vehicles. These lists 1t was stated will be available for the police and other enforcing agents of the state for the purpose of checking persons who fail te comply with the law in this regard.
 Under the plan now effective at the department, Jan immediate check of those persons who fall l to renew their licenses is possible, l 1t was stated. Persons who renew their licenses this year will not be required to i'll out application blanks in order to secure lp84 drivers license, Cpmmissioner Con nor stated today that 1t will only De necessary to present the stub at-
 taohed tQ the present, 1eSS license
 to the department, either by mall or in person, in order to get 2 new l license. A similar plan in the hand | ling of reRistfation of motor ve- hicies for 1888 is now being worked
 out at the department.
 The licenses for the more than 400, coo operators in the state have been prepared in advance, and will be immediately available to the applicant. These licenses have been numerically filed, and the lists tp be submitted to the police author. l ities will be immediately prepared from those licepAes for which ap- plication has not been made. Licenses which were issued at the respective branch offices last year are again available at those | places. However, persons who live in or near these offices can obtain either renewal of their present license or be supplied with D tenn porary license until such time as the permanent license can be fur
 warded from the main office ut
 Hartford.
 Commissioner Connor pointed out that during 1888 more than 2B00 persons in the state were arr
 rested for operating motor ve- hicle o nthe woghways of the state without drivers licenses. He stated that in view of tho fact that or the hundreds of thousands Of per-
 sons operating in the state only negligible number of them were ever requested to show their op- erator's license. It IS his opinion that undoubtedly thehe are many thousands of others who, either through wilful violation or negii- gence, do not renew their opera tors license from year to year. With the immediate check on those who fail to renew their licenses he said police in the var
 ious towns of the state would be able quickly to apprehend those persons who are operating on the highways without licenses. Section
 1889 (a) of the general statutes gives the fine for operating with out a license us mot moro than fifty dollars. According to, Com missioner Connor considerable rev.
 enue will also accrue to the state
 by this means.

BACKWARD PUPIL
 ANEW PROBLEM
Mental Hygiene Head Ad. vOcates Special Course
 For StraggIers


 Addressing the Connecticut pub lie for the first time since he took office on February 1, pr C.. B.. Horton, new director of the Hu- reau of Mental Hygiene of the State Department of Health, in the departments weekly broadcast today urged special treatment of backward children now being com peiled to attend school to more advanced age than formerly.
 The new child labor regulations under the MIRA codes contribute greatly to the welfare of tho country, Dr Horton said, but like most great social advances they have been accompanied by new problems which demand solution. Compulsory education has grown until In some localities, a boy or girl must attend school until the eighteenth birthday Is reached. Tke child who Is able to profit from school instruction will gain much because of this. but the child who Is not fitted for regu- lar class room work will suffer.
 When the latter could leave schpol on his fourteenth birthday, tnlIkB WOIO HVL bO uNub UoS hUV unless thore is provision for man ual instruction his time is largely wasted, since he learns nothing himself and impedes those about him. If he Is of the submissive type. he may develop q sense of in- foriority from which he may never recover. He may pass the rest of ihs life, uselessly, without hope and as a constant burden to others. If he Is aggressive, he may defy rules of school attendarce and conduct, become rebellious and adopt this attitude throughout life, so that he develops into q chronic trouble maker. Still another class of backward student will take refug incxcuses for being unable to do his work. He finds refuge in sickness and continues this through life, becoming a burden on his family and the public.
 Sometimes the teacher, recog- nixlng the situation, devisss an irl- dlvidual program for the child, but in this case the straggler pro-

The task of organizing work ing force for It's new local plant has been started by officials of the Bsnrus Watch company, which has leased a section of the former crys- tnl factory of the waterbury Clock compahy. Several hundred appli- cants stormed the office yesterday. About 25 were questioned as to ex- perlence and ability and we're for mally engaged. Factory officials claim that the rush was So great that it was impossible to give everyone a fair hearing with tho result that fewer employees were obtained than expected. Another large force of pob-seekers was on hand today.
 The company plans to manufac- ture watch cases and bracelets with the result that experienced watch makers will not be needed. In two months time 1t is expeet- ed that about 300 employees will be on tho combany's payroll.

BUILDING TOTALS
 OFF LAST MONTH
January Continues Decline !. Which Began in October,
 Survey Reveals

Building permits issued by towns and cities in Connecticut contin- ued to decline in total valuation during January for the fourth con secutive month, reaching Q level which was even below the excep- tional record low of January, l9S3, according to the monthly building survey taken by the freight traffic department of the New Haven rnil- road among twenty-three commit mites along it's lines. Tho sharp descent of tho curve of building operations in Connecticut began last October.
 During the month of January. tho total valuation of the building permits isued by the twenty-three cities and towns, which were cov- erad in the survey, was less than S5OO,0QO. This was less than the very low figure of December by ap- proximately $100,000.
 Gains in permit values over De- cember figures were recorded in only eight of the twenty-three com munities. These were Bridgeport, Danbury, New Britain, New Lon don, stratford, Torrington, West dHu w For the second consecutive month, Greenwich again topped the permit list. its January grants amounting to $76A50. West Hart ford was in second place and New Britain in third position.
 As compared with the total value of the permits issued in January. 1888, the January, 1884, permits granted by the twenty-three cities and towns were approximately $15O,000 less. Increases over their grants of January. 1898. were re- ported by ten of the communities, however. These were Bristol, Dan bury, Hartford, Middletown, New Britain, Stratford, Waterbury, West Hartford.

 "Horizon' Shade
 Blue fur in walrus, lamb, fox and nutria are shown in both navy and a shade called "hori- zon," which latter is used for semi-formal afternoon capes and coat trimmings in white and pas tel shades. There is not a drastic change in skirt lengths, but skirts themselves have become straight CT and tighter, with only sufficient fulness for walking inserted as close to the hem as possible. The knees are more constricted, but we should be in less of a hurry to get places than we have been before.
 Sleeves are extremely important and shoulders practically are ig- nored except to mention generally that the high and wide effects have been abandoned and that they are to stress rounded notes which will emphasize elbow ideas.
 If the United Press score card is followed, no woman who is in doubt as to the salient features of the 1894 wardrobe will have cause to worry. She has but to follow this chart with full assur- ance that whatever outfit she may hcoose from 1t will be smart.
