SCHOOL TEACHERS -T rmnfiimr WANT TO SUBSCRIBE, pro Uaia Povmpnt AntlMlS rr fa Them Addition to lying Squadron. There were several expressions of approval yesterday of the action of 1 Ptesident Morgan G.

Bulkeley of the Aetna Life Insurance Company in providing ways and means for sub- i scribing to the Liberty Loan, as an- nounced in yesterday's "Cournnt Senator Bulkeley said last night that he had received about thirty subscriptions to the loan, ranging from $5 to $25,000, with a total of When it is considered that the first announcement was made in yesterday morning's aper and that circulars were only sent out yesterday this response to the offer made by the Aetna Life Insurance Company is remarkable. The offer was taken ad'. antae of yesterday by the Asa S. Cook Company, the Veeder Manufacturing Company, the Whitney Manufacturing Company and the R. D.

Hritton Company. It is evident that the scope of President Bulkeley's plan will be enlarged to include other than the employees of the local factories, hut the same geneeal pimciple will applv. namely, that whoever subscribes will pay 5 per cent, a month towards the principal adanced for the Liberty Ioan jintil the amount is repaid, which would be at the end of twenty months. School Tea-Iiors Interested. Principal Clement Hyde of the Hartford Puhlic High School, through a representative, yesterday asked Senator Bulkeley whether school teachers might tale advantage of the offer made bv the Aetna Ijfe Insurance Company recarrling the Liberty Loan.

He spoke for over 600 teachers, many of whom, he thought, would desire to subscribe to PLAN Ffforts to Stir I Rerolt Make Ho Headway. (Oorrerpondme af Tea Aeaoclates Praaa.) Manila, April 1. The war has gripped Manila and the Philippines. WhereveKone turns he sees on guard a eoldiev of the regular army, a sailor of the navy, or a Filipino Scouts. At the various military posts throughout the Islands guards have been redoubled.

Already two Germans are under arrest as a "precautionary measure," so the government explains. One of them apparently has been guilty of only the indiscretion of having talked too much. The other arrest is a more serious matter. Conrad Andre, former German consul at the import-snt southern city of Cebu. for months has been the center of rumors that connected him with a plot to stir up malcontents among the Filipinos to open revolt.

His agents worked In every part of the island and they attained considerable success in getting signatures and finding men to accept the five dollar bribe. But their success never went beyond. There has never been a time in the Philippine Islands when the seeds of an insurrection were sown on more barren soil. The authorities, however, are keeping a close watch on all Germans here. It Is probable that there are nearly 1.500 Germans in the Philippines.

Two-thirds of them are temporary guests, persons who sought refuge in the islands after they were driven from the neighboring British colonies. RED CROSS TO USE HALL OF RECORDS The Red Cross Society will have the use of the Hall of Records building on Pearl and Trumbull street, action to that effect being taken by the public buildings commission yesterday. The building wss to be sold at auction, but on account of the Marge quantity of inflammable stuff In the Red Cross rooms in the old City Hall. It was decided to postpone the sale of the Hall of Records building until after the war and allow the Hartford Chapter of the Red Cross 8ociety to use this fireproof building.

It was "Ernie Humphrey Night" at the New Britain Dodge of Elks last evening and practically every member was in attendance to witness one of the most flattering, yet truly meant and demonstrative, tributes to a prince of good fellows, Past Exalted Ruler Ernest N. Humphrey. For weeks past a committee of forty members, divided into numerous sub- Ernest N. Humphrey. committees, has been working on plans to make, the affair of the sort Mr.

Humphrey deserves, and to this committee is due the unstinted praise of all the members for the smooth, successful way in which every detail of the affair was conouctea. An entertainment was provided, consisting of vaudeville numbers, instrumental musical numbers, vocal numbers by local talent and singers from out of town, and a lunch was served. During the evening Mr. Humphrey received a solid gold watch, suitably inscribed, with a chain and knife; a dinner set of Havelin China of 136 pieces; an oak dining room set, sterling silver tableware, and, from the wives of the Elks, a large basket of beautiful roses. The presentation speech was delivered by Judge Bernard F.

Gaffney and though he said much in praise of the guest of the evening, nothing was mentioned that the Elks did not already know, for to mention "Ernie" Humphrey is to refer to a good fellow, a capable official and a gentleman. Though aware that there was a reception in his honor to be held and naturally cognizant of the fact that he was to receive some token of esteem. Mr. Humphrey's surprise at the extent to which the Elks had gone to make the affair a truly memorable one, was genuine, and he was visibly affected by the demonstration and presentations. His response was brief.

He thanked the members for their evidenres of fraternal brotherhood and the beautiful gifts and assured them that though he is no longer chairman of their house committee and, therefore not as active as in former days, he is still an Elk and is Just as ready and willing now to do all in his power to further the best interests of the order as ever before. There is no more widely known and certainly no more popular man in the city today than "Ernie" Humphrey. He is superintendent of Tram ft Mine's factory, chairman of the board of public works and a member of the water board, and the board of finance and taxation, chairman of the republican town committee, past exalted ruler and for many years house committee chairman at the Elksyet with all his honors and responsibilities, he is successful in dodging wrinkled care and though his hair is streaked with Cray and his bald spot becomes noticeable with the passing days, his spirit is still young and well. Just get acquainted with him and see for yourself. Missionary Society Annual.

Pre- vious to ihe present membership' campaign, which started on February 21, there were 858 enrolled in the! local chapter. Through the effor's of the committee. 7,620 names have' been added the past three months, making a total of 8,478. or less thnn one-sixteenth of the population this city, who are enrobed. It was found by the committee, that the small city of Meriden has about 7,000 members and L'tlca, N.

which recently had a one-day campaign, gained 15,000 members in that time, out of a total population of 90,000.

Yesterday twenty-nine members were added and 147.25. including a gift of! $10. was received.

One of the most active depart-' ments of the local chapter yesterday! was the headauarters of the com-1 forts committee in the old City Hall. where the women were busily engaged in sorting and packing papers and magazines and in filling com- fort bags. The usefulness of this I committee in an emergency was demonstrated when early yesterday morning, three Hartford young men, who will leave with the Yale L'nit of the American Ambulance Corps for France tomorrow, applied to the chairman for advice as to buying necessary comforts. They were supplied with well-stocked comfort hags, and were told where they might buy steamer rugs for sleeping bags In the few minutes left before train-time. The money needed to buy these supplies is largely provided by the selling of the old papers and magazines.

The committee is now asking the people of Hartford to send their discarded telephone books to the headquarters, to increase the amount of old paper. Mrs. William J. Hamers-ley is in charge of the weighing, Mrs. Stephen "Teaman attends to the financial interests and Miss Harriet Cook of Asylum avenue is at the head of the automobile branch.

Telephone Company Arranges for Workers to Pay in Installments. New York, May 24. Substantial support was given today to the campaign to swell sales of the Liberty Loan bonds by the action of the railroad Liberty Loan committee, headed by Alfred H. Smith, president of the. New York Central Railroad, in urging presidents of every railroad in the country to assist their employees to buy the bonds on installments.

This plan follows out a suggestion recently made by Warren S. Stone, head of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Headquarters of the Liberty bond salesmen reported thu the number of subscriptions had increased 300 per cent. since the "drive" started, the result chiefly of the "follow up" work of the "flying squadron" that went over the ter ritory previously canvassed. In addi- jtion to several large subscriptions of the day, it was announced, the IBank of Montreal had taken (1 (MJO.000 worth.

The Federal Reserve Bank announced tonight that participation certificates in denominations of 110 each would be ready for distribution before the end of this month, to enable persons with small means to subscribe towards the Liberty loan. It also was announced that all large industrial concerns throughout the country would be asked not only to subscribe as liberally as possible, but to provide an "easy way" for their employees to buy bonds. In this connection it was said the New York Telephone Company had arranged to buy bonds for its workers, who will pay for them in small weekly or monthly installments. This company's plan, it was added, will be followed by all companies in the Bell system, which will afford approximately 180.000 employees an opportunity to participate in the Liberty loan. The National Board of Fire Underwriters today passed a resolution urging Its agents throughout the country to aid in the sale of the bonds.

Renresentatlves of women's or I gnnteatlons having a total Member ship df more than a million met here today and discussed plans for a vigorous campaign among women throughout the country in the Interest of the Liberty loan. The speakers urged that "every woman in the I'nited should borrow against her future savings to buy government bonds." Hoy Scout to Help. Washington, May 2 4.

Woman's Home Missionary Annual Almost To Be Raised in Taxes. (Special to The Coutant.) NEW BRITAIN, Friday. May 15. Master masons admitted yesterday that they realize that there will probably be a general strike of mason tenders on June 1, as a result of the rejection by the master masons' association of the demands of the tenders for an increase of wages from J3 to $3.50 a day, but were not prepared to say how they will manage their summer's work in the event of the strike. The high cost of materials, the general unsettled conditions here and abroad and their effect on the money market and building conditions, and the comparar tively short notice of the demands are the reasons the masons give for voting to refuse to grant the demanded increase by June 1.

The tenders, say the masons, gave notice about three weeks ago that they wanted more money, whereas they should have given earlier notice. The masons will notify the tenders of the vote to reject the demands at thit time, but hold out promise of more money to the amount asked, or at 'east to a compromise figure, by August 1. What the tenders think of this clause remains to be seen. They mav hold off the strike and continue to work at the old rate until Julv and then serve notice of a demand for an increase, but among the masons and builders who have the opportunity to note the semi-ments of the help regarding the wage question, day in and day out. the feeling is that every tender will strike the first of June.

There arc about seventy-five tenders working in New Britain. They have a strongly organized union. A strike this summer would result in a serious tie-up of building operations. Still They Build Garages. More garages are being built at present in New Britain than at any other time in the city's history.

The postponed inspection of streets by the board of public works will be held this afternoon, weather permitting. Members will meet at 1 o'clock at City Hall to make the trip through the city in automobiles. Bids Due Today. Bids are due to 5 o'clock this afternoon on two pieces of property against which the city has taken foreclosure steps because of non-payment of taxes. One property is on Chapman street, Just north of the Hebrew Cemetery, and the other is on Rutherford street.
