 Mrs Hart in her allegations states that on November S. 1906, Sperry ap- piled to her for $25O, representing that a license which she wished for the Oak Grove hotel at Milford had been issued by the county commissioners, and that all that was necessary for her to re- ceive 1t would be to give him the $25o and that he would get her the docuA ment. He promised to deliver 1t to her at once. Mrs. Hart says that she be- lieved him and gave him the money, and as he did not return with the pa pers she then looked into the matter She then alleges that the county com missioners had not at that time. nor have they since, issued the necessary permit, and that MT. Sperry's state ments were false and were made to induce her to give him the money She therefore, through ex-Senator Omar w. Platt. has brought suit to re- cover,

GERMANY WINS
 AIR SHIP RACE
Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page) her record, but for the expanse of water ahead
 News of the landing of the Pommern was received early to-day, and was followed by reports of the descent of every other contestant in the race with the exception of the L'Isle de France. The race was at once conceded to these two, and when report was received at noon to the effect that the French craft had been sighted in the vicinity
 of Asbury Park intense excitement prevailed.
 Evidently a contrary current caught the LIsle de France and blew the vessel back to the southwest. Realiz- ing that they were losing actual ground the occupants of the French basket decided to make rapid de- scent as near the coast as possible.
 While losing the distance record and the cup, the French team sailing L'Isle de France gained the worlds record for duration of flight. Starting from St. Louis here at All p. m. (central time) they landed to-day at 1:10 D. m. (east- ern time), making their time in the air A hours minus one minute. The previous record was fl hours, min utes, held by Count de La Yaulx, of France
 The previous record of the internna- tional race, set by the balloon United States In the flight from Paris last year, was 402 miles This was more than doubled by the Pommern and IiIsle de France. In fact, only one of the nine contestants in this years race failed to exceed the 1906 record.
 Germany, having won possession of the silver trophy presented by James Gordon Bennett, the race next year will be in the home of the German Aero club. Final possession of the trophy rests with the club which wins it three times.
 The balloon United States. which fin- ished eighth in this years contest, was the winner in 1906, Aside from pos session of the cup the Germans won a cash prize of $2,50), given by James Gordon Bennett.
 The worlds record for distance. but not for race, is 1,200 miles, held by Count Henry De La Vaulx

Sportsmen Throughout the State Starting Testimonial
 to the Deputy Warden.
HIS INJURIES SERIOUS
Third Case of Official Shot In Ten Days In This
 State.

AS a result of the shooting of Deputy Game Warden Edwards at Beacon Falls last Sunday, there has been a great wave of sympathy over the state especially from the sportsmen who knew the injured man and in addition considerable indignation has been ex- pressed over the fact that thus far no reward has been offered for the cap- ture of the men who did the shooting. It is said that there is legally no way in which the State Fish and Game commission can offer a reward in the case, however.
 Edwards, although young man of thirty years Is practically unfit for &C., tive duties of any considerable nature as the consequence of his injuries and as testimonial to the regard in which he is held among the sportsmen of the state at the suggestion of Game War den Crampton of this city fund has been started for him. Many of the gun clubs of the state are interested in the fund. A list was started yesterday in this city at the store of the John E. Basset company in Church street. Dep- uty Edwards is considered among the sportsmen as one of the game officials of whom the state could well be proud.
 He was efficient and courageous, as is shown by the fact that while he was particularly warned not to go into the woods last Sunday, on account of hav- ing the week previously arrested an Italian, he said he was an officer of the law and was going to do his duty. So he went, and now suffers as the re- suit of his steadfast adherence to his duties.
 This Is the third time in ten days that a game warden has been shot in the pursuance of his duties. and there is a call that the criminals connected with these cases be thoroughly prose- cuted. Edwards is the hardest sufferer. He has the sight of one eye destroyed. his tongue shot, and bullets through his throat. He is mutilated for life from the bullets

PAID $1O0,OOO.
Hartford Manufacturing Company
 Makes Restitution to Government.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The Hart ford Manufacturing company, of Hart ford, Conn.,, which had the contract up to July 1 last for manufacturing stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers, to-day made a cash pay ment to Postmaster General Meyer of $100,0 900 as a settlement for all dam ages which the postoffice department may have sustained by reason of the company's failure to furnish paper up to the contract.
 Several weeks ago Postmaster Gen eral Meyer suspended the payment of all moneys due from the postoffice de- pertinent to the Hartford company and submitted the matter to the attor- ney general for such further action as might be deemed proper. Chemical analysis of samples furnished by the company disclosed the fact that the composition of the envelope paper had been below the requirements of the contract and according to the compu- tations of the experts of the postotfice department, the company had in the lest three or four years benefited thereby.

The trip from Lynchburg, where his last speech was delivered, was without incident.

 Many of the banking men who had labored day and night recently that the integrity of New Yorks financial institutions might be maintained, went home early this evening, satisfied that suspected houses which had been found worthy of support had been fortifie1 against incipient runs or other congin- gencies. Serious minded men who have met the storm in sober mood left their offices smiling and chatting and with a general bearing that spoke volumes Co those who are accustomer to read the news of The Street in the faces of its big men,
 Several factors contributed to this change of feeling. Foremost was the determination reached to-day by men of great influence in the financial world to restore confidence and prevent pan ic. Conspicuous among these were J. Pierpont Morgan and James Stillmar, president of the National City bank. Throughout the day there were confer- eneces at the offices of J. P. Morgan & company, and while guarded state- ments only of what was done at these gatherings were given out during the business hours, the fact that such men were comforting, linked with their known personal standing and financial resources, did much to allay fear for the future.
 News of these conferences quickly ran through the financial district; al- layed the fears of the extremely ner- vous, and certainly aided the stock market, where this influence brought about recovery of prices toward the close of day during which new low levels had been reached
 Next in point of influence was the presence at the sub-treasury of Secre- tary of the Treasury Cortelyou, who not only gave the moral influence of a representative of the government, but during the course of the day caused to be deposited with New York banks @ large sum, said to be S10,00000O. MT. Cortelyou received many callers, and all who conferred with him subse- quently appeared to have been re- assured.
 The total, resources of the company as last reported were in excess of $70,- OO0, 900. Several millions were with drawn to-day, but funds to satisfy every claim were said to be at hand.
 This was the only run of importance to-day and this fact was an encourag- ing feature. The depositors of the Dollar Savings bank in the Bronx, of which Borough President John Haffen is the head, became uneasy over the general situation and many clamored for their money. These depositors were chiefly foreigners who had con fused the Knickerbocker Trust com panys Bronx branch with their own institution

INTRIGUE AT GERMAN CUURT

read all of Herr Harden's articles on the subject the defendant rose and said:
 q have followed political aims alone in my articles and in so doing have been compelled to mention Count von Moltke's name. did not say that he had practiced disgraceful vices, but said that he was abnormal in temperament"
 Count von Moltke said that such circle as the Round Table," which as the defendant alleged, had sought to influence Emperor Williams political actions, often in a sense contrary to the views of his constitutional advis- CTS, had never existed and could not exist in the entourage of the emperor. The count added his old friendship with Prince Zuelenburg was wholly without ulterior significance"
 Herr Marden's counsel, Herr Bern stein. asked Won Moltke If he had not heard disgraceful reports about M. Lecomte, the ex-first secretary of the French embassy, who was transferred in June, and the plaintiff replied: T did hear them, but I did not believe, and do not now believe them, l met M. Lacomte many years ago at Starn- burger a watering place in upper Ba- varia) and saw him once or twice with Prince Eulenburg"
 Herr Harden questioned the plain tiff about the testimony presented at the time of divorce from his wife, Frau von Elbe, and said he had heard things about the plaintiff five years ago which if he had told of them would have caused the counts uni- form to be torn from him, but he had kept silent
 Continuing, Herr Harden declined to withdraw anything he had written, but admitted frankly that he had twice been imprisoned for insults to the sovereign, each time for six months, and that he had also been fined several times for the same of fense.
 At the afternoon session session of the court Harden said he did not ac- cuse Von Moltke of criminal acts, but he regarded his friendship with Prince Zu Eulenberg as erotic in char acter, for the plaintiff, he said, had once pressed the princess handkerchief to his lips and cried, ''Phili, my Phili;" and in writing him letter had made use of the terms "my soup and my beloved"
 Frau Won Elbe, the divorced wife of Kunovon Moltke, testified to the gross epithets that her former husband had applied to married life. She then described the handkerchief incident, which she said she saw from an ad- jacent room. She declared also that Prince Zu Gutenberg at once knelt to her and begged her to give up her husband. Referring to her divorce, Frau Won Elbe said she had asked Von Moltke, What will his majesty say to our divorce?n
 To this Won Moitke replied, "His majesty only hears what l allow him to know" These words created a great sensaton in the court room. Continuing, the witness testified Von Moltke had once written letter to her mother in whiclpiae said they had formed circle about the emperor which nobody was able to break through, Answering a question from Harden, Frau Von Elbe said Won Moltke had once told her that he often had to make daily report to Prince zu Gutenberg of the happen ings at court.
