ARREST AT NAUCA1UCK.
One Of the Mon Concerned h the Shooting Sunday Caught After
 Sensational Hunt
MAN CARRIED A REVOLVER.

The Naugatuck police captured
 Rocco Traficanti shortly after noon
 to-day and the arrest was not with
 out some interesting features. Ira
 ficanti is one of the band of Italians
 who indulged in the shooting scrape in
 Little Italy" in Naugatuck on Sum- day evening the result of which is that one man is dead, Rocco Sabia,
 and Pasquale Traficanti, brother of
 the man captured this afternoon, Giuseppe Errico and the mother of the dead man were all more or less
 seriously wounded. The man who is supposed to have killed Errico, Louis
 Mancine is still at large. The one
 captured to-day is believed to be the assailant of Errico who Is in serious condition
 The officers who made the capture
 were Smith, Fruin and Worbeski.
 Since the shooting Traficanti has been hanging around the woods and bush es back of Mulberry hill reservoir, southeast of Naugatuck. He was without hat or coat and therefore all the more noticeable. Last night and the night of the assault he slept in the bushes near there. Yesterday he went to house nearby where he believed a friend of his lived He asked him for cap and told him to send word to his brother charley to bring him a coat and hat. The friend notified the brother, it is believed and the po- lice as well. Charley Traficanti was noticed going out toward the reservoir this morning with loaf of bread and coat and cap. The three officers mentioned above who had been given the tip also started In the same direc- ton. When they got into the brush near the reservoir they separated and agreed if the man was captured to fire one shot. The officers discovered that there were others in the vicinity searching too and found that the brothers of the dead Sabia were on a hunting expedition for the man who killed their brother.
 Officer Smith in his search came upon Charley Traficanti and at the point of pistol drove before him into the open and held him there until his brother officers would have finished beating the brush. Soon came the sound of police whistle and moment later pistol shot and out from the woods came the two officers with Rocco Traficanti. The latter was surprised when he saw only three policemen, for he main- tained he would have put up fight, but he believed he was surrounded on, ali sides. On the prisoner was found a revolver with only ono cham Der loaded. Both prisoners were taken to Naugatuck and locked up.
 Pasquale Traflcanti. another broth CT of the captured men, who was badly wounded in the melee Sunday night, died in New Haven this after noon from his wounds. He was un- der police surveillance since the riot.

NEW PARTY IN CHINA.
'Restorer of Rights" Association
 Would Drive Out All Foreiensrs.

Washington, Sept 11.-Mail advicea received here from China are die- quieting to Americans having flnan- cial interests in the Orient. There in no abatement of the anti-foreign feal- ing and the animOsity Is no lonQof confined to Americans, but includcs all foreigners except Japanese. A formidable party has arisen and is conducting an active propaganda. It is known as ''restorer of rights" and its purpose is to drive the foreigners out of business in China and to that end to begin by rendering valueless the foreign investments. In some quarters the Chinese government fs alleged to sympathize with the move- ment; and at any rate capitalists in- terested in important concession arc complaining that the Chinese officials are deliberately destroying their hold- 1ngs and violating their agreements at every turn. More than any other nationality, the English are said to be injuriously affected by this attitude of the Chinese government.
 The movement to destroy or regain control of concession held by foreign. CTS is said to have begun when tho famous Hankow-Canton railway con- cession was regained by the Chinese government by purchase from tho, American concessionares and sinco3 then every new enterprise in the way of public utilities in China has been, oficered and manned by Chinese, themselves, foreign experience and!f direction being utilized only to the4 point where the Chinese were able tO} acquire the knowledge necessary to, operate them.
 It is known that some of the Nng. !. fish business interests are uniting in strong appeals to their government to adopt stronger attitude and pntect, them in their Chinese enterprises.

ticularly anxious to be elected gover. nor, because l am not willing to be elected governor by any sacrifice of principles. but do think 1t Is due tue people who have followed us and our supporters to be elected to something sometime, and to put into practice and practical operation the princi- pies we stand for, not for our bene- ft but for the benefit of the people of thls country and state. Now, as understand It, Judge Seabury's prop 0sition is one which would allow us to be in the position I have just re- cited. It would practically allow ,ls to name our candidates, as I under. stand It. It would allow us to be in Q position where we could go ahead absolutely Independently, or, we could combine if we could combine honor ably. II seems to me to be wise proposition, and in conclusion want to say thls:
 "There have been several refer ences to deal here tonight, and do not think that any one who is sus- pected of having entered into deal should be 3 candidate for any office before our convention.
 "Now, gentlemen, as said in the beginning I have no desire to impose my views upon this assamblage. I would rather know what, you want than to tell you what want. but if you wish my views, there they are, offered merely for your consldera- ton"
 v :. I (
 The roll was then called and the memorial was referred to the commit tee on platform and resolution which Is to be appointed after the opening of the convention to-day. The commit tee is to report on the memorial in open convention.

easy last night in anticipation of . busy day at the convention to-day and when interviewed he said in re. gard to the political affairs: "I' seems. from what T can find out that 1t Is to be g free run this year for all the boys and that no matter who is nominated they will all whirl in and help to elect him."
 Mir Walsh commented upon MI Thayer's health, about which much concern is felt as he has been under g constant nervous strain for several years past, and said that he hoped that 1t was not true that MT Thayer had broken down under 1t.
 In speaking of his own course af- ter the convention Chairman Walsh said:
 Il shall resign any way no matter who is nominated. I have had four years of 1t and find that 1t interferes with my law practice just at the opening of the fall term when could get many of my cases well along I have to give up three months to politics. Then too, l feel that the man who Is nominated by the party ought to be given free rein and be allowed to choose his own assistants. If MT Thayer is nominated he would be. better satisfied If he could have some one who is closer to him run the campaign for him, so I intend to draw out and give the nominee who- ever he may be. chance to select his own pilot"
 While Chairman Walsh's resigna- tion will come as great surprise to the members of the party which he has led for the past four years, to the leaders 1t will not be SO much of a surprise as they have generally understood MT Walsh's desire to quit the office and give more attention to his large law practice.
