Rival Republican Factions
Attend State Convention
Stratford. March. 24 All roads led
to New Haven last evening aa far as
the rival factions of the local Repub
lican party were concerned. Both
set of delegates left tor the conven
tion attended by a numerous retinue.
The Morehouse crowd filled several
automobiles while the Peck support
ers traveled in a large van. At a late
hour last evening the credentials com
mittee were hearing the evidence of
the case. The result will be found in
the account of the convention on
another page of this issue.
A caucus of the Democratic party
of the town was held in the Town
Hall last evening. The meeting was
called to order at 8 o'clock by Town
Chairman H. M. Booth. Sergeant
Smith presented the chairman with
a night stick and assured him that ac
cording to precedent recently estab
lished it was the proper form of gave
to use on occasions of this character.
The meeting was organized with H.
M. Booth as permanent chairman and
Howard W. Curtis as clerk. The
former town committee were re-elected
and Messrs. C. K. Rodney. F. C
Booth and J. Vanderbilt were added
to the committee. Walter Goddard,
John C. Wilcoxson, Howard W. Cur
tis and H. M. Booth were chosen dele
gates to the state convention. At the
conclusion of the caucus a meeting
of the town committee was called and
the following officers chosen. Town
Chairman, H. M. Booth; secretary, J.
"Vanderbilt; treasurer, Walter God
dard. A committee was appointed to
secure permanent headquarters.
BOLSHEVISTS
EVEN IN AFRICA
Bolshevists are blamed for the hysteria-breeding
propaganda which has
been sweeping through parts of Afri
ca and from which the native popu
lation is only now recovering.
An account of the circumstance has
just been received by Northern Bap
tists from Dr. W. H. Leslie, Baptist
Missionary of Vanga.
"A report came that a new fetish
spirit animal was abroad in the land,
coming from the west," writes Dr.
Leslie. "It was said to have the face
of a white man, the forelegs and
breast of a cat, and the cry of a bird.
It brought sure death to the towns
it visited.
"White waa a special attraction to it,
so wortl was sent throughout the
whole country to get rid of every
thing white. Beads, bracelets and
guns were also attractions and must
be disposed of. This sounded quite
Bolshevistic. Yet strangely enough
it was accepted as truth almost every
where and people slaughtered or sold
goats, ducks, chickens, dogs; in fact
all animals or fowl that had any white
on them. Some even came from the
inland towns to throw their guns In
to the Kuilu River. The people in
the villages nearest us inquired about
this spirit-animal, were assured and
saved their livestock. When some
villages refused to credit the rumors
the mania was stayed and the coun
try is becoming rational once more."
TO INTRODUCE WOODEN SHOES
The Hague, March 24 Duten man
ufacturers are going to introduce the
wooden shoe to the American people.
Representatives of several large fac

EISLER GETS $500.
Albert Eisler, the local machinil
who sued the Connecticut Co. fa
$10,000 damages to recover for injur
ies received when a trolley car on
which he was riding was struck bj
another car on North Main street
was awarded $500 by a jury in th
Superior Court, yesterday. The
trolley company admitted liability for
the collision but said Eisler was not
so ibadly hurt as he claimed.
She Must Be Right
May Allison now engaged in work
before the camera for "The Cheater'
from Henry Arthur Jones's drama,
"Judah," asserts that the California
weather man qualifies better for the
title of cheater than anyone she
knows exists. She said:
"All season long while it rained
and I ruined pair after pair of stock
ings by not wearing rubbers, I meant
to invest in rubbers. Last week I did.
They were all new and slimy. And
they still are; and now the weather
man says the rainy season's over, so
I suppose I'll have to put them in
some garage until next winter."

For Taking Animal
New York, Mairch 24. --Vincent Hen
dricks, colored, of 102d street, Rich
mond Hill was arrested yesterday on
a charge of grand larceny. The com
plainant was William Heyman of
Woodhaven, L. L, who alleged that h

named Spades, valued ait $1,300, which
Hendricks was to keep at the Aque
duct race track. When he went to see
the horse, he said Hendricks tokl him
the horse had broken a leg and had
been shot.
Heyman became suspicious, and
when the polire had no record of the
slaughter of the animal, he made a
search of the various stalls at the race
trarfc and found Spades at the oppo
site end of the track. Hendricks
pleaded not guilty and was held for
further hearing April 8, in the Ja

At about the same time it was dis

developed a widespread appreciation
is the people's turn to pass them out. of its benefits in curing indigestion.
Richard T. Biggins, chairman of
the public utilities commission, said
yesterday that he is in favor of day

on under a national law, but was
somewhat afraid that any other
method might not work as well and
that confusion would prevaiL The
public utilities commission, said Mr.
Higgins, has no authority to change
or establish standard time in conflict
with the government. His statement
as issued was:
"I am personally in favor of the
daylight saving policy as maintained
throughout the country in 1919 under
a national law. I am apprehensive,
however, that any daylight saving
system other than a national system
will work confusion.
SUB" CHASERS
PUT ON SALE
Washingtaon, March 24 Offer of
sale to the public of 150 submarine
chasers built during the war was an
nounced today by the navy depart
ment. Constructed at an average
cost of $67,000, including engine
plant, consisting, of three standard
gasoline motors developing 67 5
horsepower-, these craft now are ap
praised, it was said at $20,000 each.
In inviting offers from yatchsmen or
commercial firms, however, it was
said, several already had been sold at
a figure slightly below this.
Pointing out the ''splendid construc
tion" and seaworthiness design of
these vessels, which are 110 feet long,
with 15 foot beam and 77 tons dis
placement, the department suggested
their adaptability either for pleasure

ties or states passing varying ordi

light saving plan, is at best patch
work and an attempt to change
standard time for local communities.
"I fail to see wherein the public
utilities commission has any jurisdic
tion in the matter, excepting to the
extent of approving train schedules
in conformity with local daylight sav
ing policies established or about to
be established in New York cSy, Bos
ton, Providence and other nearby
points involving train schedules
through Connecticut. A change of
train schedules on the main lines un
doubtedly will necessitate a similar
change on all branch and connecting
lines.
"It is certain, however, that this
commission has no authority to
change or establish standard time in
conflict with the United States gov
ernment standard, or Section 6720 of
the general statutes of this state."
bility of removing two of the engines
and retaining one on the central
shaft, as a means of reducing gaso
line consumption and rendering them
more desirable for private use, also
was noted. This would give the craft
a speed of about nine knots, it was
said, against the three engine speed
of 17 knots.
The vessels may be inspected at any
east coast navy yard.

March 24th is the anniversary of
the death of one of the great leaders
of all time. Joshua died on this date
in 1426, B. C. The 24th Nizan is
marked as a feast in the Jews' calen
dar for the death of Joshua, He was
buried, full of honor, in his own city
"in the border of his inheritance.'
The mighty leader of the children of
Israel, as recounted in the Book of
Joshua was the son of Nun. After
the death of Moses, God spake unto
Joshua, for Moses had laid his hands
on Josuha and he was full of the
spirit of wisdom and God's first com-
A T fJ A ST4"T'mrPr"Nr man to Joshua was to lead the Is
JX WiWIUflUlUfl jtaeUtes into the Promised Land. The
cheering words that ring like a
trumpet through history were these
from the lips of the Almighty, "Only
be thou strong, and very courageous."
Of Joshua's faith, tact, power, war-
i rior-ability, the splendid chapters in
his book testify. It was Joshua who
took the enemy city of Jerico, com
passing it for seven days with the Ark
of the Lord. It was Joshua who set
his heel upon the necks of heathen
kings. It was Joshua whose faith
commanded the sun and moon to
stand still until he had slain the ene
mies of Jehovah.

They estimated $2,000,000,000 will
be the approximate cost. They ex
pressed dissat:sfaction with the pres
ent Connecticut bonus on the ground
that soldiers hesitate to apply for it
and thus proclaim themselves
"needy." The Connecticut members of
Congress listened attentively and. also
asked many questions as po making
the proposed plans workable. They
expressed full sympathy with the
plan to aid ex-service men but did
not express an opinion as to whether
it should be extended to all who
served or in what manner it should
be accomplished. They assured the
Legion representatives they would
give the matter very careful attention.
Rome, March 23 Catholic and
Maximalist members of the Chamber
of Deputies clashed in the chamber

providing for agrarian reforms and
