Edgefeld, July 2.-This morning E..
T. Chappell, who lives on farm, one
mile below town, shot and killed

 CT. Charges of obtaining money by false pretenses were also entered against Sanderson, Cassel, Payne and Wetter, 1t being alleged they furnished fictitious bills for greater amount than they were entitled to receive un- der their contracts.
 The prosecutions begun to-day are the outcome of the political upheaval in Philadelphia in 1905, when Mayor Weaver quarreled with the republican organization. The Independent move- ment against the republicans In Phila- delphia that year spread throughout the state and led to the election as state treasurer of William H. Berry, a democrat on the fusion ticket, Berry took office in the year 1906, being the first democrat to occupy that position in twenty-five years. In the fall cam paign of last year, Berry startled the state by charging that according to the state treasury books the building and furnishing of the state capitol had cost S,000,0 900 and not $5,0O0,000 as has been believed and that S9,000,000 of the mon- ey went to furnish the building. He charged that $5,OOO,OOO of the $9OOO. OOu was pure graft" Gov Pennypacker other state officials and the contrac- tors denied the charges, but the agita- tion for an investigation which inmed- lately began continued, until the last legislature appointed a commission to investigate the whole affair. Much sen- sational testimony was brought out during the hearings which covered a period of about six months. The com mission made a report to Gov. Stuart who turned it over to Attorney General Todd. The latter thought the evidence of fraud was so strong that he at once decided to bring criminal and civil suits against those held to be responsible fol the frauds.

TOWN COMMITTEE TO, NIGHT
Democratic Candidates to Meet With
 Body.

A call was sent out last night by Chairman Henry Sanford of the demo- cratic town committee for meeting this evening of the committee and all the successful candidates of the pri- mary Tuesday. The meeting Is to dis cuss the situation and arrange a pro paganda of the platform for the com ing election and to start preliminary details for the coming battle. Plans for financing the campaign will be one of the main topics of discussion and committees VIII be appointed. to look after that end of the struggle.
 The headquarters were almost de- serted last night, but few of the com- mittee or nominees showing up. The lengthy fight and long time needed to count the night before had played most of them out and as each had to be about his own business yesterday last night was given over to recupera- ton.
 To-nights meeting will be the last held in the present committee rooms as the committee has got to get out this week, owing to the leasing of the quarters to other parties. A commit tee is now out arranging for rooms in the Lefflngwell building for use until after the election.

Detective Don nelly then stepped in and asked the man if he was the one who drew the check, telling him that the bank wouldn't cash 1t because the messeng- CT was not know there. The man ad- mitted that he had drawn the check, and at the detective's invitation went along to the bank to get the money.

 Investigation showed that he had f1oated into the saloon during the early 1 part of the day and after spending some money tried to get the proprietor to cash the check He wouldn't, so he sent it over to the Sheahan whole sale liquor house, but that firm also refused it. He then sent Gunderman to the bank with it. He said he lived in Bridgeport and had arrived in this city Tuesday Checks for seats in a Springfield theater, which were used Monday evening, were found on him, however, so the police infer he came from there.

borough, which they represent. Were the proposed annexation to take place these aldermen would, of course, be on the same ground as members from the town of New Haven proper.
 Those who are interested In this question argue that at the present time property holders in Westvllle are paying tax of mills to Westville and 14 mills to the city of New Ha- ven They cite, first, that the New Haven tax is only an increase of three mills which would be offset by the ben eflts which would come from 1t. The grand list during the last few years in Westville has increased until there is considerable taxable property with in its confines.
 Among the reasons put forth by the supporters of this idea for taking such a step Is the claim that Westville cit izens would receive more benefit un- der such state of affairs that cannot accrue to them under existing cond1- tions, therefore among these would be the city fire service in place of the present volunteer company, which nec- essarily cannot be as efficient; better police and hospital facilities, and or ganization under the city school sys- tenn of New Haven. These, it is claimed, would be received by the citi- zens of Westville if the town would join with New Haven In a short time
 The request for annexation from Westyille would be matter of great interest to all citizens of New Haver and the movements of those who are in back of the idea will be watched with a great deal of interest.
