SUES CHURCH FOR LOANS
TROUBLE AT STAMFORD
Pastor Who Also Works in Factory Office is Ob-
 jected To.


 Stamford, Aug. 1.-Millard K. Palmer of Sound Beach has brought suit against the First Presbyterian church of that place for $4OOO, this amount it is alleged, covering money loaned at various times to the church by MT. Palmer. This action it is said marks crisis in the trouble existing in the church. The pastor Rev. F. A. Hatch, who adds to his income by working in the office of local factory, was ob- jected to by members of the church and recently along with the church sessions, presented his resignation. The church accepted his resignation and that of the sessions, but elected an- other sessions favorable to the retiring pastor whose connection with the church was to have been concluded on August 1. This new governing body requested MT. Hatch to remain as pas tor and he has agreed to do so. MT. Palmer who is said to be opposed to MT. Hatch, failed of election to the sessions.

New York, Aug 1.--There will be no more languishing in cells on a desk lieutenant's say-so or premiums paid to professional bondsmen on trumped- up arrest cases in this city, From now on the policeman who makes an ar rest at any hour of theA day or night will have to, forthwith, show cause be- fore a magistrate.
 The court room was filled with spec tators, among whom were Police Con- missioner Bingham, two of his depu- ties and many attorneys.

FLEET FOR PACIFIC. No Change in the Plan To Send Battle

  SEC. LOEB so DECLARES No Foundation in Report That Metcalf Will
 Resign.
SEC. LOEB so DECLARES

Oyster Bay Aug. 1.-Secretary Loeb said to-day that there had been no change in the plans to send the At .lantic battlesrip fleet to the Pacific ocean, and that the necessary prepara- tions for the trip are now being made by the navy department. Upon their completion and approval by the presi- dent the voyage will be begun when the president gives the word.
 MT. Loeb made this statement incl dentally in saying that there is no foundation for the report that Secre- tary Metealf had been or would be asked to resign from the cabinet be- cause of his announcement that the fleet will be in San Francisco harbor in the near future MT. Loeb said there was no reason for criticising Secretary Metcalf on account of his announce ment. Secretary Loeb's statement that the fleet will go to the Pacific is re- garded here as significant as being the first direct announcement to that effect made at Oyster Bay.
 Washington, Aug, 1.-No protest has been received from the Japanese gov ernment against the plan to send the Atlantic battleship fleet to the Pacific and none is expected. It is pointed out here that no basis exists for protest or complaint, as the fleet Is to remain in American waters.

AUTOSTANDS OVERFIRE
Boys start a Blaze, Nearly Running New
 York Car.

A powerful touring car standing in front of the Quinnipiack club on Chap el street at 8:3O last night came near burning and bursting into a ruin, be- cause of the deviltry of mischievous boys, who had matches to burn.
 The owners of the car, No. 42,440, were New Workers, who had gone into the New Haven house, and left the empty car dripping slow stream of oil to the pavement. The gasoline set tied in puddle under the big machine, and attracted the attention of cou- pie of boys.
 A lighted match thrown on the li- quid instantly forced it into faring blaze, which threatened to ignite the car In a few minutes the gasoline tanks would have caught fire, and the powerful auto would have been de- stroyed.
 Quick witted passersby literally put their shoulders to the wheel, and ran the car beyond the fire, and out of danger, without serious mishap,
 The owners of the auto then came out in time to profusely thank the cour- teous reseuers

EIGHT YEAR OLD GIRL STRANGLED Brutality of Fresh Crime In New York Sur passes its Prede-
 cessors. ALMOST A RIOT
 AT DISCOVERY Crowd Charges Against the Shop of a Cobbler Ar rested Pending In-
 vestig tion

New York, August 1.-"The as the foreign pop ulated neighborhood on First avenue, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, is known locally, gave up to- day fresh crime, rivalling in atroclty the mysterious butcheries of last week. The latest discovered victim was an eight year old girl, and, like the two young women murdered, she had been shockingly maltreated before death and the body hendishly mutilated when life was extinct.
 The three murders apparently were committed within twenty-four hours and by strlkingly similar means. Last Thursday night woman was stran- gled in a Twenty second street board ing house; the next morning the body of a still unidentified woman, who had been choked to death was found in an areaway in East Nineteenth street Katie Pritchler, daughter of restau- rant waiter, disappeared week age to-day and was killed that night. A ribbon placed about the throat and drawn so tightly that it cut the hest showed how she died.
 If the brutality of the murders car be qualified, that of the Pritchler glr ranks first. Not content with rohbine the unusually attractive and bouyant' spirited girl first of her maidenly attri' butes and then of her life the savage instincts of her slayer found gratl1ca' ton in unspeakable attacks on th' lifeless form.

MAY RAISE BREAD PRICE
MASTER BAKERS MEET
Must Meet the Increased Cost of Flour and of
 Labor.

The master bakers of this city, it is said, may be compelled to raise the price of bread owing to the increase in cost of flour and of labor,
 They are held back for the present by what they think will be strong protest from the consuming public, a protest which, however, they may be compelled to ignore, rather than run their business at a loss.
 A meeting of the master bakers was held last evening in the rooms over Heubleins cafe and the matter talked over There were only a few of the bakers present and after short ses- sion they decided to put the matter over to be acted upon at a future meet ing.

GUTTED BY FIRE
siIas stowe's Structure of State Street
 Badly Damaged.

Fire that brokeout shortly before 10 o'clock last evening nearly gutted the interior of the brick barn belonging to silas J. Stowe, the patent brick manu- facturer, at 76S State street. The or igin of the fire could not be learned last evening. but when the alarm was sent in there was already quite a, fire and when the fremen reached the scene the blaze had secured quite headway. Just as the alarm from Box 5s 5S was being received at fire headquarters a telephone call for still alarm for the same fire was sent in.
 The barn was filled with hay, which resulted in quite a spectacular fire. The flames soon burst through the roof lighting up the sky with considerable of a glow. The interior of the barn, and the hay which filled It, were de- stroyed. The building itself was of brick The loss will probably reach about $5O0.

LAWYERS DAY
 AT COMPOUNCE Exciting Boat Races, Ball Game and Field Sports
 Closely Con-
 tested. E. J. STANFORD
 IN FULL CHARGE Sheepbake Enjoyed by Hap piest Crowd in Many Years-Harry Asher
 Toastmaster.

The annual sheepbake of the mem bers of the New Haven County bar held at Lake Compounce yesterday was the greatest success of any such event held in years, both from point of num- bers and from the entertainment par ticipated in and enjoyed. The fact that Edward J. Stanford, the old Yale athle- tic star and John R. Booth who has quite reputation along the same lines had charge of arrangements and had much to do with this, and the two bands and the jolly crowd furnished all the rest that was necessary.
 Most interesting of all the events of the day was the boat race between the 'E. Foote Thompson" and the "Wm. D. Mossman. Both the boats were mud scows hired at a dollar an hour from a gentleman who looked as if he might have been a scene shifter in the time of the lamented Lillian Lang try otherwise known as the famous Jersey Lilly. Walter Walsh and Wal ter Hudson named the Wm. D. Moss man and John R. Booth and R, J. Woodruff the E. Foote Thompson. At torney Stanford christened and launch ed the boats. Other entries in the race were; Thomas Cox and Frank Kenna in the Salary Crab Joseph Anqui- laore and Rocco Ierardi in the Spa ghetti" and Sidney c. Rosenberg all | by his lonesome.
 The first heat was very even, MT. Rosenberg leading by perhaps half a | length and the ID. Foote Thompson coming along with gasps. After the | first lap, however, Attorneys Walsh and Judson slowly forged ahead and the "Wm. D. Mossman" came in a full length ahead of the other craft The | judges were David E, FitzGerald and Assistant City Attorney Samuel Hoyt The Henley regatta, according tc Fred Whitaker who has travelled con slderably, having recently spent sey- eral days at Hampton, this state, and before that attended the boat races al | New London, can offer nothing to com. pare with the contest of yesterday.

SHONTS ON THE
 WITNESS STAND Tells New Public Service Commission of Trans portation Prob
 lens. CONGESTION IS
 CHIEF DIFFICULTY Costly Experiments Con tinually Being Made by Monster Com
 bine.

New York. Aug. 1.--President Theo~ dore H. Shonts of the Interborough Metropolitan company went on the witness stand to-day and told the members of the new public service commission of some of the diff ficulties in attempting to solve the problem of transportation in New York city, MT. Shonts' testimony was given in connection with the investigation begun by the commission into the mer- ger of the severa transportation lines on Manhattan island, under the control of a single holding company, of which he recently was chosen the head. Be- fore the inquiry Is completed 1t is ex- pected that the investigation will have embraced every phase of the transpor- tation question which long has been recognized as one of the most serious with which the city has had to deals
 Mir Shonts said the greatest difiI- culty he had met since he became head of the Manhattan railroad was in tue congestion of the city itself and in in ability to procure cars as rapidly as they were needed. He believed that there were enough cars operated at present to carry all the passengers, but owing to the congestion in the city the the cars could not be utilized to their full capacity. Some cars will be crowd ed to the railings, another following just behind will have little more than half a load, and still more coming along behind will be almost empty. That can not be prevented. however, and the company is making every effort to improve conditions They have now arranged for the construction of a large number of cars of one-third greater capacity than those now in use He l believes this will help. Experiments are being made all the time. when the money Is available' Mir Shonts said the cost of every experiment had to 1 be considered before it was undertaken and he pointed out that experiments often were extremely costly. For in stance, he told the commissioners it would cost fully one million dollars to put in operation a certain experimental train which the company wishes to try on one of it's lines. He said the New
 York companies were looking every where for suggestions that would help in solving New York's problem. Ideas are looked sor in the Boston subway, in the electrical systems operated in
 Illinois and in many other sections of the country.
