 COST OF LIVING

Washington, Sept. 13. (UP)- Another drop in the cost of living was reported today by the depart ment of labor.
 Although economists and gov- ernment officials predicted rapidly advancing prices, figures of the bureau of labor statistics revealed that for the second successive week, costs declined slowly.
 The drop was slight, amounting to only 0.1 per cent for the week ending Sept. z on the average cost of commodities ranging from food to coal to chemicals and from Texr tiles to metals to leather products.
 The bureau reported the de- crease placed the general index at SO.4 of the 1926 average, with the composite index 3.3 per cent above year ago.
 Decreases were shown in the foods, fuel and lighting materials and miscellaneous commodity groups, while. farm products, hides and leather products, textile prod dcts, building materials and chemi- calls wefe higher.

Two Contests At
 Democrat Caucus
Mrs. Clara O'Shea Wins in Race for Auditor Nomina-
 ton Eight Candidates Sought Constabulary
BEACON FALLS

ber board of education, George Lafferty: register of voters, Mrs. Agnes Bowe.
 There was considerable difficulty securing a candidate for town clerk to run against the republi- can nominee, Fred c. Curtiss who has held the office 26 years. The names of Edward Quinn, who ran last year unsuccessfully, Charles Kevit, Daniel Lee, Agnes Bowe, Harry Classey, and Louis Cretella were all proposed in an effort to get a candidate but each declined. MT. Lafferty was nominated and did not decline.
 Contrary to Spirit
 When so many declined in rapid succession. it appeared to the chair man that it might be necessary to endorse MT. Curtiss. This suggestion was viewed with disfavor, Mrs Clara O'Shea rising and stating it is not the democratic spirit to refuse to run for an office just because chances of victory were not too. bright. She strongly protested en- dorsing a republican. Shortly after her talk the position was filled.
 The town committee was reap pointed for another two year term and was empowered to fill any va cancies which might arise. MT. Schmitz was nominated by James Rourke and is expected to prove a godo candidate. He is now in New Haven hospital where he has been a patient for several months. He is the present first selectman. MT. Rourke holds the second selectman position now and Henry Schmitz was the party nominee for board of relief member last year. The three grand jurors remain the same as do the members of the board of education and registrar of voters. MT. Forst made a god run for tax collector last yearfi, losing out by only six votes to Ralph Tucker.
 Harmony seemed to prevail at the caucus last night there appar- ently being no injured feelings be- cause of failure to win.
 No Arrests
 No arrests or accidents occurred in Beacon Falls yesterday, state po- lice at tn eBeacon Falls barracks reported here to-day.

Town Hall Prankster Disrupts Morale With

Beacon Falls, aGpt. 1.-Two con- tests featured the democratic cau- GUS held in the Town Hall last night. There was a good attendance with about 107 persons being pres- the number attending the republi- can caucus the night before.
 The contests, came as expected, over the office of auditor and over the constable positions. Mrs. Clara O'Shea in the auditor contest de- feated Louis Cretalla who was the party nominee last year. These two were the only persons nominated for this office last night. Mrs. O'Shea got 69 votes to MT. Cretel- las 37 with one vote cast being a blank.
 In the battle for constable nom ination, eight names were proposed. This is one more than was submit ted in a similar contest held at the g. o. D. caucus the night before. Those nominated were Ross L.. Cook, Stanley Szemplenski, Joseph Menillo, John Karaban, Augustine Contaldi, Walter Muroff, Raymond Lennon and Albert Borgnis. The first four named, Cook, Szemplen- ski, Menillo and Karaban won out. 55, Szemplenski 53, Karaban 49. Menillo 45, Contaldi A, MurofL 25, Lennon 28 and Borgnis IS. One of the upsets was the defeat by one vote of MT. Contaldi who is one of the, present democratic constables. MT. Menillo was nominated in his place he having single-vote mar gin. The other democratic con- stables were MT. Szemplenski and MT. Cook.
 Of four republicans and four democrats nominated for this posi- tion, seven constables are chosen at election day, the lowest vote-getter losing out.
 Thomas Fitzpatrick, chairman of the democratic town committee, was chosen chairman of the meet ing and Second Selectman James M. Rourke was named clerk. Peter Kaminski, Joseph Rourke and Fred Schmitz were appointed tellers.
