Representative Daniel J.

 Representative Mahaney's bill calling for a uniform five-cent rate in the state on all trolleys and buses, was Host in committee. It was referred to the judiciary com mittee but was never reported out, dying what is called natural death".
 The action of Alderman Maradie last night was taken at a meeting of the common council of the city of Hartford.

Waterbury's democratic organi- zation won decided advantage over the local g. o. p. machine to- new voters opened when out of more than 125 new electors made" over 100 of them signified their desire to be placed on the democratic primary list. Out of 127 sworn in up to o'clock this afternoon, 97 signed up on the democratic primary list. Only eleven signed their names to the g. o. p. primary list, the remainder refused to be registered either way. Democratic leaders were jubilant over the outcome of this morning s activities. At the same time the republican forces were striving to keep up with the democratic work CTS bringing in the prospective new voters but they fell far behind. Democratic Town Chairman John H. Crary stated at noon that the response to the democratic cause was very excellent. Republican Town Chairman Frederick W. Palomba was silent.
 Incidentally, the republican
 primaries took place last night. Al
 only one ticket was in the prim- aries, the voting was formal. The
 delegates elected will attend the

CAPT. ELLSWORD HAZARD power boat squadron in the Long Island Sound area, was the first to reach the burning yacht. A tow line was tossed to the occupants of the dinghy when they refused to transfer to the "Marajoho". They were taken to the Pequot club, Southport. Mrs. Mccullough was badly shocked, but uninjured. The only explanation given is that the engine backfired. The "Marmari" disappeared within an hours time below the surface of the water.

Approaching Event Excites Enthusiasm
 Among Workers Here
Solemn High Mass at St. Anns Church to Inaugurate
 Observance Parade to Settlers Village Uniform Guard of Honor Coming From New Hampshire

Hampshire, will gather in Water bury Saturday in the first of a series of observances by the city's various nationalities. The celebra- ton climaxes the recent dedication of the French house at Settlers Village and will be featured by a large parade, ending at the Village, according to arrangements com mittee.
 Onicial Statement
 French residents of the city have seldom if ever been moved to the extent that the Connecticut Ter centenary celebration is interesting them, today's announcement states. The parishioners of St. Ann's church were spurred to greater zeal by Rev. Ernest Lamon- tagne's eloquent address last Sun day.
 Tn. women of the parish are par ticularly active in arrangements for the observance. Father Laurion has specifically urged the women's organizations to take part in the parade and as a consequence, the committee states, there will be an attractive and colorful display which will be credit to the civic pride of the French people of Wat erbury.
 Mrs. Henry Bernier and Mrs. Jo- seph A. Theriault are in charge of the work of making costumes rep resenting descendants of that part of France known as "Breton. D A great many people from that French province emigrated to the province of New Brunswick, Can ada, which was immortalized by the famous/poet Longfellow as the land of Evangeline at the time her people were dispersed.
 "Acadians'
 These Bretons are known as "Acadians" in New Brunswick and New Orleans where the story of Evangeline came to a tragic end ing.
 The program will begin with a solemn high mass at St. Ann's church at 9 o'clock followed by a mammoth parade which will as- semble at the church fair ground on East Clay street, and continue with a speaking program and en- tertainments furnished by local talent in varied artistic abilities of the French population of Water bury, and probably will end with a dance.
 Wilbrod Guertin is arranging for refreshments, assisted by Phillip Arcand, Arthur Dugree and Eddy Beaudoin. The reception committee for the large delegation from out of town includes Rev. Ernest J.. Boileau, Joseph Nobert and Lu- cien B. Perreault.
