BENDLER LEAVES
 FOR LINCOLN, NEE.

Kenneth Klobedanz, alleged "bathtub burglar" who will be re- leased Saturday from Nebraska states prison after serving part of an eight year term on burglary charges, will be brought back to Waterbury to answer charges aris- ing from 27 breaks here. Detective Joseph Bendler left by train this afternoon to take Klobedanz into custody on his release at Lincoln, Nebraska.
 Klobedanz was given the sobriquet "Bathtub Burglar" because of his custom of taking bath in some of the homes he entered. He is said to have stolen hundreds of dollars worth of clothing, jewelry and ra- dios, here. After three months work by the entire detective bureau, his hiding place was located in the woods off Waterville street and some of the loot was recovered. Extradi- tion papers signed by Governor Cross were taken to Nebraska by Detective Bendler, who will return in about week.

WHILE Vienna was showering
 1" honors upon Ludwig van Bee thoven, short, bespectacled youth in the same city was creat- ing some of the worlds finest songs and symphonies against the odds of poverty and neglect. He was Franz Peter Schubert, son of a Viennese school teacher, and himself a teacher.
 Born in l797, Schubert quickly displayed his genius as com- poser. While Beethoven carefully completed one composition, his young contemporary wrote dozens, out of which few were certain to be worthy of world fame. In one day, it was said, he composed eight songs of the type that made him famous.
 Lack of recognition, the over- shadowing renown of, Beethoven and poverty kept Schubert in a secluded atmosphere. Despite a sick body, he wrote profusely. Poverty and hard work, however, sapped his strength and he died,

 At last, the situation was clear the governments situation is one al- most of desperation. The rebels must be stopped or Madrid must fall.
 There was every indication that government leaders were prepared to fight it out and to take stern measures against men who failed them.

 Madrid, Sept. 30- CUP) - Brick layers, cement workers and engi- neerS were called to the colors to- day to fortify Madrid for a finish fight against advancing rebels.
 Master barbers agreed to close theird shops to release employees for the militia. Employers in other trades prepared to follow suit.
 President Manuel Azana signed 8 decree calling to the colors men who served in the army classes of 1882 and 1883. Another decree converted all militia units into army units and thus subjected them to military dis cipline under which members may be shot if they leave their posts.
 Authorities of Catalonia in the northeast mobilized all men able to serve as cavalrymen, artillery men and airplane pilots.
 They agreed to begin at once mobilization of men not engaged in specific employment in civil life and to arrange at their next cabinet meeting for general mobilization of all men between the ages of IS and 40 years.
 The central militia committee there voted it's own dissolution so that Catalan government would have sole defense authority.
 Madrid today went on a food ra- tioning system in preparation for a siege in which an effort would be made by the nationalists (rebels) to cut of the city's food and water supply.

Rents Vary Widely

But rent prices have been marked by great differences. For instance in New Haven, New York, New or leans, St Joseph, Mo, Baltimore. Cincinnati and Fort Worth. Tex, (to take places widely scattereG rents have not increased at all. In some places, as for instance, in Buff falo, they have actually declined. In most places the rises have been nlod- crate. But in still other places they have been heayy-with ir- creases of 100 per cent in some cases.
 The price of coal is very little diff ferent from what 1t was in 1883 and is lower than in 1884, while the prices of gas and electricity have gone down about six per cent as q whole.
 But prices, after all, are relative. We have seen what has happened to the size of our dollar. But what has happened to the number of dollars we are getting? And what is playing all these tricks with our money2 (See tonorrow's article by John F. Flynn in the Waterbury Democrat.)

WEAI6EH FOt6EOASI Harbmgers of winter
 Predict 1t will be mild; Lots of rain, little snow, Not at all too wild. Snow-storms and blizzards Will be few and far between! And all signs point to weather The mildest in long time seen. Some judge by the caterpillars, Others the animals furs, By signs, omenS do they figure Just what's bound to occur? While some prophets are quite sure Winter skies will be gray, Shall it be rain, snow or freezing cold? We wouldn't venture to say. This is just what the dopesters think, Don't just take our word, For in bad weather all signs fail And this is just what we've heard.
