PERSONALITIES
BY Nellie DodsOn

Win open the proceedings this
week with a letter, quite different
letter, too.
st. Paul, Minnesota.
May "a, 1884.
Miss Nellie Dodson:
One for Ripley; AL Rivers and
Paul Cephas (musicians) while
fishing in swell spot on Lake Jar
vais, were forced to haul up the
anchor, not to mention the poles,
when a cow deliberately waded out
into the lake to within a few feet
of the boat, threatening to join the
party.
We didn't need a Camel to give
US a lift to deeper water, and a
more MISUNDERSTANDING cow !
never saw, as we scrammed. There
was some good old Schmidt's bot
tied on board, but not enough to go
three ways.
Yours truly,
Paul E. Cephas.
P. 8. Al viii be surprised to
read this in your paper. Yours for
your newsy articles.
Well, so a cowsy-wowsy wanted
to join the fishing party, eh7 I
can't say I blame you for "scram-
ming" to deeper water, boys. Cows
do the silliest things, don't they?
Thanks for writing, and drop me a
line again some time.
Ellsworth Strother, one of the
cullud out-of-town boys on the
campus made Delta Phi Lambda,
the national honorary writing fra
ternity, and had a short story pub
lished in the last supplement of the
Minnesota Literary Review. That
certainly is a fine thing, and I'd
like to say: Keep it up, my boy"
Funny how Strother was admitted
to the writing fraternity, and Thel
Thurston was asked out Of the
Journalism sorority. Anyhow, Thel
is still having a good time over in
Journalism. She went to a spiffy
tea given by the sorority last week
over at an even splitter soror house.
They'd just as well keep her in as
a member, because she's going
merrily along just as she was be-
fore. Goody, goody.
Here and There: Harry Landers
will go to Cody, Wyoming, for the
summer vacation, where he will
work at white resort. Some
one else will have to report the
spring parties this year, as Auntie
isn't planning on being among

LABOR FORCES OF
 CONN. CONVENED

Danbury, Conn.,, Sept. 3.-CUP)
 -Renewal of demands for a special session of the general as sembly to lift municipal relief loads and the possibility of form ing labor party to enter the 1036 state campaign, were dom mating issues before the golden jubilee convention of the Connec- ticut Federation of Labor. which opened here to-day. The first ses- sion was to be devoted mainly 10 consideration of annual reports. Nominations for state offices were to be caucused Wednesday and an intensive three-cornered fight was under way for presidency. The labor party movement, inaugu- rated at Hartford several months ago, faced sterm opposition. Reso- lutions have been drafted both for and against the party and were ex- pected to be threshed out on the floor.
 The necessity of a special legis- lature session was considered of upmost importance. The state has less than q month to enact legislation to get under the wire and share In final WPA allot- ments. Additional demands were made to provide for participation in the federal unemployment and pension acts and to provide funds for capital Improvements. Other resolutions called for transfer of state headquarters from Bridge. port to Hartford and limiting the tenure of state officers to one year President J. Nicholas Dang, New London. was opposing John J. Egnn, Bridgeport, for the sec retsryship. Elections will be held on Thursday.

FACTORY HEARING
 UNDERWAY TODAY
Beardsley and WOlcOtt Question to Be Deter.
 mined in New Haven

Hearing opened in the U. S. dis. trict court in New Haven shortly before noon today on the question of whether or not to continue the Beardsley and Wolcott Manufac- turing company in business and also on the question of how the conduct of the concern is to be directed if activities are to be re- sumed. The corcern closed Satur- day night pending the courts or der.
 Judge Carroll c. Hincks of this city and Cheshire was sitting on the case when it opened this morning in New Haven and among the counsel present were Attorney Herman J. Weisman. It was ex- pected that the hearing would last at !east two hours and possibly through the afternoon.
 It was possible that at today'e session a new trustee or receiver to operate the business might be chosen.

Approximately 140 persons employed at the plant are await ing anxiously the outcome of to- days hearing.

Appeal Taken Today
 In Registrars Case
Supreme Court of Connecticut to Hear Arguments on
 Removal of Derwin and Dunais

Notice of appeal to the Connec- ticut supreme court of errors from the decision of Judge Frederick M. Peasley mandatorily removing Alderman John T. Derwin and Peter H. Dunais from the offices of democratic and republican regis trars of voters, respectively, was filed in the local superior court to- day. Judge Peasley, sitting on the superior bench some time ago. ruled that Alderman Derwin and Mir. Dunais were illegally appoint ed to their posts as registrars by Mayor Frank Hayes under the provisions of the strong mayor" charter.
 Although an election will have taken place before the Connecticut supreme court of errors has had'a chance to act on the appeal from Judge Peasley's ruling, local inter- est is great in the outcome or the pending litigation.
 Ruled Out
 Alderman Derwin and MT. Dunais were mandatorily ruled out of their office by Judge Peasley, who ruled that a previous ruling of his. de- clartng the appointments by Mayor Hayes illegal was not to be held up by any injunction that might be entered pending an appeal to the supreme court.
 As a result of Judge Peasley ruling, Alderman Derwin stepped out as democratic registrar and MT Dunais, first ward g.o.p. chairman stepped out as republican regis' trar.
 The appeal to be argued in the supreme court will involve the question of whether the provisions of the local strong mayor" char ter or those included in the state election statutes will take prece- dence. The claim is made that the local charter, special act. takes precedence over the general stat utes. The local charter provides that the mayor shall fill vacancies

FLOODS DO DAMAGE

Fl I'aso. rex, Sept. 3 - CP)-- Flood waters fed from break in a Rio Grande river levee spread over thousands of acres of farm land east of here today. No cas- ualtles were reported, although upwards of 1000 persons were forced to flee their homes. Nearly 100 fiin1sy adobe houses on "the Is1hnd," narrow strip of land be- twkan the Rio Grande and the Mexican boundary. collapsed as the water licked at their founda. lions.

occurring in elective ofiices. The vacancies in the posts of registrars occurred when Registrars Henry O'Connor and Thomas r. Dillane were removed from thelr offices by supreme court rule.
 No Vacancy
 Judge .Peasley ruled that no vacancy had existed when Mayor Hayes named Aldermen Derwin and MT. Dunais and directed that Albert o. Taller and Michael Slavin, present registrars by virtue of his ruling, take their places. This immediately busted Derwin and Dunais. The claim is made that there was vacancy existing under the provisions of the local strong mayor" character and that the state statutes were superseded by the local charter, which is a special act.

Settlers Village Itemettes

Labor Day weekend brought thousands of visitors to Water- bury's unique and historical settlement - Settlers Village. Attendants at the box office and turnstiles were kept as busy as those admitting guests to a worlds series. It certain ly was a record breaking crowd. The attendance ran close to 5000.
 Two more states-Colorado and Tennessee-were added to the long list of states repre- scented by visitors since the ex- position opened in July. The total now stands at 31 with only IT more to be heard from to complete the entire 48 states of the union. Among the visit ors were residents of South America also, making ten for eign countries to be represent ed to date.
 Special busscs were operated to bring the people to Connec- ticut's feature tcrccntenary ex- hibit. Supt. Joseph H. Mclean also assigned extra policemen to duty at and near the settle. mcnt.

 The Italian-Americans of the city sure did make an ex- cellent showing Sunday when their castle" was dedicated. And they thoroughly enjoyed themselves from all ;ndica- tions, especially while picnic ing in "The Birches" adjoin- ing the settlement. Everyone joined in the spirit of the oc- casion and had delightful time.

 The picture fad has struck waterbury with terrific bang. The folks are collecting in dividual pictures of the various cottages at Settlers Village just like the youngsters do with those of ball players. The demand almost exceeds the supply. There are 12 buildings at the settlement exclusive of the hunters dugout. They in- clude the town hall, the agreement house, the Farm ington house, the lean-to house, and the Irish, Italian, French, German, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian and Scandina- vian cottages.
