tives of some foreign concerns have been

Last night the sheriff came up from Falls
City and calling at the Park hotel, placed
William Richmond, a solicitor for a Chicago
grocery Arm, under arrest on a charge of
peddling through the country without a
license. The man had retired when the
of1cer arrived, but was compelled to get
up and accompany the oficer to Falls City
where he will be held pending a hearing.
The law under which the arrest was made
is a late one and few people knew Of its
existence, but 1t provides for a minimum
hne of $50 FOR this offense. Richmond had
been at work here since the middle OF
January and It is claimed had sold some

From a STAR Correspondent.l

LINCOLN. Feb. S-(special.)- The report

Judge Critics declares:
The act authorizing said commission
provided that the commissioners, In addi-
ton to drafting and reporting a bill for
an act relating to land transfers, should

%Tection. have concurred win my col
that so radical a change In our present
system of land transfers is neither needed
nor desirable.
He gives these as his conclusions:
1. That transfers are not ~cheapened un-
2. That they are not simplihed.
1. That Increased security is not. in fact.
s. That in practice no one relies upon any
security afforded thereby.
s. That the general public have no con-
hdence In its provisions even atter years
Z. That there Is no real need for any rad
zeal changes or amendments to our present
laws relating to the transfer of real prop
erty.
The bill Of the majority was written by
Mr.. Hand, who comments upon it's features
and concludes:
1 heartily approve of the Torrens system
of registration of titles, as embodied IN
the bill 1 have prepared and now file with
this report. / have endeavored to fit the
provisions of the bill into our system OF
law and Jurisprudence so that there shall
be as little friction as may be. There will
necessarily be some friction. for 2 very
great change In handling real estate Is
contemplated by this new system.
But when a chang means substantial

This new system is entirely practicable
For us to say that we cannot set into oper'

 with the Naugatucks last week whom they outplayed at every point, the Torrington boys propose to pay up the military boys for their defeat in Wa terbury last year, and an exciting struggle is looked for. Torrington has been coached this fall by the great Hogan of Yale and Bert Smiley who is no novice at the game, and this means much for the T. A. B's. The Go A eleven have a game scheduled for every week from now until Thanksgiving day, when the annual wrestle with the St Thomas cadets will be on for the local championship October 25 they play at Naugatuck, and on November 15 Manager Waite will make his first appearance in Wa terbury with his famous eleven, al- though some are unkind enough to say that the Naugatucks could not be induced to play in Waterbury with the Go A eleven.

John McDonOugh, IA years old, liv- ing in Hartford, had his right leg bad ly crushed in the yards of the High land division in East Hartford about 3 o'clock last night.
 Ex-Warden William S. Ward of Southington, superintendent of the II. p. smith Co, was badly gored by a COW last night at his home in West street, and but for prompt assistance he would have undoubtedly been killed.
 MT and Mrs Anon Bradley of Southington were married sixty-six years ago yesterday and with relatives they quietly observed the anniversary at their home on North Main street yesterday afternoon and evening. Both are hale and hearty.
 ''This is result of the coal strike,'' complained John D. dickson of South Manchester as he entered the office of pr William s. Gillian last evening with his hand bound up and blood flowing freely from his left hand. While cutting wood he had chopped off his thumb. Dr Gillian dressed the injured member.
 Tn a fit of insanity last evening about 10 o'clock Charles IF. Rigby, 9 natter, residing at South Norwalk, att tempted suicide by shooting himself three times in the breast and later cut ting himself with a jackknife, but as the cartridges were blanks and he knife only penknife his injuries are not serious. Rigby will probably be sent to the State Hospital fir the h. sane at MiddIetown.

FRENCH STRIKE SPREADING.
Antfs Prepnr1ng to Resist Attacks of
 the Strikers


 PARIS, Oct. 10--Further informa- ton received here from the coal min ing regions indicate that the strike is spreading rapidly, but. while in the Pas de Calais, Nord and other districts the cessation of work is already com plete, in other regions the mines are still working at full capacity. The strikers in the Pas de Calais district number 47.6O0 men. The mines are working full at Montlucon, department of Allier, and Montceau-les-Mines, de partment of Saone-et-Loire, where a large majority of the miners are op- posed to the strike At Anzin, depart ment of Nord, only 2,SOO out of 14,OOO men have ceased work.
 The .yellows," as the antistrikers are called, are preparing to offer re- sistance in case attempts are made to prevent them from working. They are distributing pistols and cartridges and are organizing night patrols. It is probable that at the most only 100000 out of 162, ,O00, the total number of coal miners in France, will join the strike.
 The lack of coal has already caused a number of iron works to close, and increased quantities of coal are being received in France from Belgium and Germany.

 After an absence of several months from the mat, George Bothner, the lightweight wrestler, engaged in bout with Leo Pardello last night at the London theater. Pardello agreed to throw Bothner within fifteen minutes at catch-as-catch-can or forfeit $50. Bothner was in the pink of condition, while Pardello looked fat. After the fifth minute Pardello began to thake things easy. He tried several times for Nelson but each time was unsuc. cessful. At the eighth minute they began to rough it all over the stage. Bothner secured a hammer lock, but Pardello had no toruble in breaking it. When the fourteenth minute rolled around both men were tired and breathing heavily. Bothner stuck the remaining minute out.
