Are misin' such fuss
Tae cables would be sizzin's bot
A-tellin' OF the fights they fought,
For Bill--he's got the whole thing planned:
How each one ought to nmite stand,
And Just how either could begin
And, with no trick ut nll, could win,
There would be trouble in the air
III Bill was there.
If Bill was there
He'd take his submarines
And rnpid.flre machine
And tow 'om slowly, after dark,
Right up to where he's put mark
Near that there town-its name, b'gee!
Runs out some fifteen miles to sea-
And then YOU bet theIed somethin' drop.
He'd fight below 'em and on top,
And some one sure would get II scare
If Rill was there.
If Bill was there
He's stuck II dozen pins
To mnrk the outs and ms
or how'd he'd march n million men
Across tho land and back again
And put the foreman i'll the ditch.
Whose men? What side? He don't caro- which

To see how both side make mistakes.
There would be fightin' everywhere
If Bill was there.

ley, the defendant in the case. He
appeared fairly sclf-rcliant and CONT
dent. lie answered the inquiries
quickly and with precision There
was every evidence of truthfulncss
and an almost brutal frankneSS about
his statements. He showed no feel
ing on the stand, but at other times
seemed very much affected at the hap
penings Of the Court. He began by
saying that he WAS % years OF age
and that he was the second OF eleven
living children of his mother and
father, and that his sister was older
than himself and the Oldest child.
lie said that he had known Creech for
more than year and regarded him as
close and intimate friend. He liked
him so we'll that he introduced him
into his home, invited him to soci-
ableS and saw that he had invitations
to picnicS and the like. They were
the best Of friends up to the night be
fore the tragedy, when he first heard
of the trouble. He had been fishing
on the day of the revelation to him by
his sister, and on his way home he
had stopped and had a talk with
Crcech at his stable. never for mo-
ment suspecting anything wrong.
Creech offered him two hundred dol
lars if he would get his horse into
tirst.class condition, and he drove off
with two young ladies who happened
to pass by the stable. That was the
last he saw Of Creech until the killing.
After supper at home his younger sis.

main part Of the house she threw her
arms around his neck and cried and

POLICY MAN IN FEAR.
caase of Attack sn Hayes Laid to He
 Talking to Police.

New Britain, Aug 2O.-The assault of Policy Writer Samuel J. Kelley upon Policy Writer George Hayes, and the theory advanced as to the cause of it, has created a great deal of comment. It is believed that there is something back of the attempt upon Hayes life which, if brought out, might throw light upon the Bos- worth murder mystery
 That Hayes had been talking too much to the police in regaru io the operation of the policy men to suit them is considered probable. It is said the police have found out the names of men who have played the envelope game with Bosworth and the railroad men who, 1t is said, were in the room on the Saturday night be- fore the murder. and 1t is thought that the policy men suspect Hayes Of giving them away. At any rate the Hartford gamblers have something against him.
 Hayes's actions upon the night of the assault and since have shown that he is thoroughly frightened ana that he has dread of being attacked again.
 He repeated several times upon Che night of the assault .:they will kill me- and he added that some one had been sent out here to do the job.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Rossnbaum's Scales Were Wrong
 Csst Him $50 to Settle.

Because Joseph Rosenbaum, a Pag peddler, who has been cheating tha public right and left by means of a scales, was caught with the goods on him. 1t cost him $50 Rosenbaurn did not think that there was enough money in being honest in the rag bag. so he resorted to the old trick of fix ing the scales and well did he fix them. In order to make the scales show one ounce or less the rags on the scales, they would have to weigh n pounds, or in other words a quantity of rags which would weigh 12 pounds on the ordinary scale would only weigh pound on Rosenbaum's scale. It was a clever scheme, but SeaIer of Weights and Measures Pagan has been too long in the business to over look such things. His eagle eye is always after such lawbreakers Two days ago Rosenbaum was plying his trade as usual when MT Pagan came along and immediately tested his scales. He could scarcely believe if when he saw how far out of gear the scales were. He went to the prose cutting attorneys office and had a warrant issued for Rosenbaum's arr rest for cheating. To-day the ped- dler settled his case by paying $50.
 Charles Pudina of John street was charged with hTeach of the peace in assaultiHg a neighbor, Mary Crous. They had a quarrel which ended in Pudina punching the woman's face. He settled his case before court by paying $2O.

 ThrOugh Mannino's Tale.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-Antonio Man nine, the Brooklyn boy Kidnapped by the Black Hand society and held fol ten days, demanding ransom of $50. 900, has given the police information which, it is said by Police Captain Rooney, will lead to the capture of the rest of his kidnapers and bring about the exposure of the Black Hand SO ciety's secrets.
 The boys statements to the police prove beyond doubt that he was kid naped by the Black Hand society and that the Kidnapping was a gigantic conspiracy.
 Statements made by young Mannino convince the police that relatives of Mannino were In the blackmailing con- spiracy. They are convinced also that the kidnapers were treating with James Mannino, the father of the boy, within two hours of the time the boy was found.

TO SPEAK IN INDIANA.
Hobson Blames President for Law-
 lessness in Many States.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug 20.-Captain Richmond F. Hobson, hero of the Mer- rinlac, reached here yesterday morn ing and was in consultation with Chairman OBrien of the democratic state committee for several hours. Ar engagements were made for him to speak at number of places in this state. Tn an interview he condemned in strong terms the reign of, lawless- ness in Georgia, and added:
 ''When we look at such phenomena as have been passing in Georgia we cannot too highly condemn the spirit of lawlessness. We must, however, calmly recognize the fact that this wave of lawlessness in Georgia and in other states has followed upon the heels of the recent action of the pres ident in forcing the race question upon the Chicago convention and into the republican platform. The ac- cepted interpretation of MT Roose- velts position on the negro question means negro political domination where negroes are in the majority, or return to the unhappy conditions of the reconstruction era."

TRADE CONDITIONS.
R. G. Dun 4& Co. Report Continued
 Improvement.

R. G. Dun 4& Co. Report Continued
 Improvement.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 2o.-R. G. Dun 6 Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
 Confidence in continued improvement of trade has been somewhat unsettled by sensational events in the wheat market and the lack of harmony be- tween labor and capital. It is becom- ing evident that estimates of the wheat crop must be reduced, although other agricultural news is much better than RSuaL.
 Otherwise news of the week has con- tained much of an encouraging nature. Tn several manufacturing lines there is less idle machinery, and visiting retail buyers have stimulated jobbing trade, especially in dry goods and kindred lines. Railway earnings thus far re- ported for the first week of August show small gain of IA per cent as compared with last years figures, whereas recent preceding weeks showed more or less loss in comparison with 1908.
 Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for August amounted to $3,896, ,999, of which $1,SoO, ,55O were in manufacturing, $1,7S4, 4S2 in trad- ing and $311, ,967 in other commercial lines. Failures this week numbered 226 in the United States against 2SS last year and 24 in Canada compared with 8 year ago.

La Toilette Says He Will Keep Up Fight, Regardless of Court Decision.

 Governor La Toilette also charged that in 1896, when he was defeated for nomination, his enemies had bought up his delegates He said these men were taken into a room where piles of money were stacked on tables which was dealt out to those who promised to vote against La Fol Iette
