THINK HUNDA WAS KILLED
By sophie Plaiza-Thrse Times She At-
 tempted suicide.


 The New Britain friends of Team Kunda do not think that his death was accidental They believe that either he was persuaded by his companion Sophie Plaiza, to die with her, or while Kunda slept she turned on the gas In support sof this theory, they recall that three times while in New Britain the girl made attempts to do away with her. self. She threw herself in the lock shop pond and was pulled out, and twice she took poison, one time taking too large dose and the next time too Its tle @
 She was in constant despair because her big lover was not as ardent as she would have him. and he constantly de- ferred the date of their marriage. One time she got him as far as the town clerks office, when he persuaded her to defer taking out the license until they had been called three times by tna priest.

Boston, Aug. 19.-The Mason & Ham, lin Co.,. manufacturers os organs and pianos, having their factory at Cam bridge, have assigned for the benefit of their creditors. The assignees are Frank c. Allen of Lynn and G. R. Nut ter of Boston.
 MT. Nutter made the following state ment:
 The present financial condition of the Mason & Hamlin Go. dates from the failure of the Central National bank. in November last The Central National bank was a creditor Of the Mason & Hamlin Co to a large amount. The company also owed considerable bor- rowed money to other banks. It was hoped that reorganization could be effected which would obviate the neces- sity Of an assignment.
 While various plans to this end were under consideration, one or two small creditors placed attachments upon the property of the company in Cambridge, and it seemed advisable to make an assignment for the protection of all | creditors.
 MT. Nutter said that, roughly speak ing, he thought the unsecured liabilities would reach SSOO,OO0 or $S50. .OOo The as- l ests consist mostly of stock, and nc
 estimate can be made of them until an inventory is taken.
 l It is planned to hold a meeting oi
 creditors on an early day next week. l New York, Aug. 19.The Mason &

MORE TIME FOR SHAMROCK
4 RE-MEASUREMENT OF THE G CHALLENGER YESTERDAY.
Nfn Now Receive Time Allowance of One minute and Fifty-seven Seconds or Twelve Seconds More Thnn Given
 by the First MeasnFement-BIista Made fin Measuring the Length of tho


 Nv York, Aug. 19.-It was announced at the New York Yacht club late to- night that c. D. Mower, the official measurer, had re-measured. Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger Shamrock IL, off Sandy Hook to-day and that as a consequence the chal' lenger will be in receipt of an addi- tional allowance of twelve seconds ir the races, making a total time allow ance of one minute and fifty-seven sec onds, against the previous estimate oi one minute forty-five seconds. se
 The new measurement revealed the fact that a mistake had been made il measuring the length of the. topmast When MT. Mower ran his tape over tht vessel again to-day he found that tht throat halyard block was three fee lower down than his figures of yester day showed. This made the length o the topmast greater by three feet. re ducing the size os the nlainsail ant thus decreased the sail area, The nev measurement brings the racing lengti of the Shamrock III. down to 104.4, in stead of 1O4.77. equal to a time allow anoe of twelve seconds.
 The re-measurement was made at tn request of Sir Thomas Lipton.
 When Secretary George A. Cornacl was asked tonight if the re-measur ing was the result Of any dissatisfac ton on the part of Sir Thomas Liptol he said:
 Not at all. Sir Thomas altered hi boat by lowering the throat halyar' block, then asked for a re-measurenen and got it. That's all.''
