either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that will rebuild
the brain and nerve cells. That food
is Grape-Nuts.

TO IDENTIFY WALKER
Former New Britain Postmaster on
 Way to Mexico.

New Britain. Dec 19,--Julius H. Pease, formerly postmaster and at one time a praeticing lawyer here, is now on his way to the west as the repre- sentative of the Savings Bank of New Britain to identify William F. Walker the defaulting treasurer of the bank. It is eonfidentally expected that Wal ker will be back in New Britain be- fore the new year, It is expected that the man with the eXtradition papers sent by State Attorney Arthur F. Egg gleston of Hartford will be only a few hours behind him. Little delay is ex- pected in getting Walker back, al- though one of the bank officials said this afternoon that the absconding treasurer had retained counsel and may fight extradition. Pease has known Walker all his life practically and would be able to make positive identi- fication It is thought that the state police will be given charge of bringing the priserer back to this city.
 A very important piece of informa- tion given out by the bank to-day was to the effect that Walker is part owner of the mine in the mountains near En- Isenada, Lower California, where he was Hcaptured, and it is believed that Wal ker paid for his holdings he is said to have in the mine.

FIGHT IN CONGRESS
Many Blows Struck in Encoun- ter Between Representa-
 tives on Floor.
ON QUESTION OF VERACITY
Minority Leader Williams Attacks the Democratic Representative
 from Missouri.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The spirit of rivalry which for five years has alter nately snoldered and blazed between John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, leader of the minority, and David A. De Armond of Missouri, leader of the minority opposition, eulminated in a fist fight to-day on tae floor of the house of representatives The blows of Representative DeArmond caused blood to flow down the face of Repre- sentative Williams and only the forci- ble Intervention of friends cut the combat short, MT. De Armond bore away a marked nose.
 The immediate cause of the fight was Mir. De Almonds charging Mir. Williams with untruthfuness, result ing from complaint by tile former that the minority leader broke faith with him in 'burying' Representative Booher of Missouri. by. recommending his assignment by Speaker Cannon to the committee on coinage, weights and measures, According to the state ments of the principals, MT. Williams defended his action by declaring he had been told by Mir Boohers col league, Representative Lloyd of Mis- souri, that the committee assignment would be satisfactory to MT Booher. MT, De Armond bluntly questioned the statement, and after failing to have the controversy shifted to somewhere else than the house. Mr Williams struck MT. De Armond a blow in the face with his clenched fist.
 The exciting incident will not be set down in the records of the Sixtieth congress, for the house had been ad- journed some minutes when the first blow was struck. But there was no lack of witnesses. The organization of the house had been completed by the announcement of the speakers as- signments of members to committees. the republican committeeman having been selected by the speaker and the democratic members by Mir Williams. Groups of representatives were scat tered over the floor discussing the ap- pointments, the possible causes be- hind them, and the possible effects to follow In the galleries loitered a score or so of women and four times that many men, viewing the aftermath of an interesting session.
 MT Williams. resting from the long strain of alloting preferment among his 167 fellow democrats whose mi nority strength he officially leads was seated at ease at the desk of Repre- sentative Wallace of Arkansas on the center aisle on the democratic side of the house MrfDe Armond approach ed, greeted him and took the adjoin ing seat. At once they engaged each other in earnest talk. but pitched their voices so low that afterward only one or two members who were very close to them could recall anything they said They had been thus in con versation no longer than few min utes, when, both sprank to their feet showing their chairs back, and the gentleman from Mississippi struck the gentleman from Missouri a glancing blow on the nose.

ARREST OF WALKER
Embedding Banker Declares He Took Only $20,oOO in
 Cash.
ALSO s325,ooo SECURITIES
Only $1.1O Was Found on His Per son--Now in Close Con-
 tinement.

San Diego, Cal, Dec. 19. Advices from Ensenada, Lower California. to- day concerning the arrest of William F. Walker, the defaulting cashier or the Savings bank of New Britain, Conn, say that Walker went under the alias of Morrison while in Lower Cal ifornia.
 He was arrested on the morning of December 14, at mining camp called the Potrero, about 100 miles south cast from Ensenada by the Mexican police on an order issued to Governor Vega, through the secretary of state at Washington and similar order from the secretary of state of Mexico, Hoffman, the Pinkerton detective in charge of the search accompanied the police into the mountains and was present at the time of the arrest.
 Walker confesses that he is the man wanted in New Britain and that he was cashier of the bank, but says he took only $20,OO0 in cash and about $325,0OO in securities. An officer with necessary papers is now on the way from the east and lie is prepared to identify him personally.
 When Walker was arrested only $1.1C was found on his person. When the police arrived at the camp he had his belongings backed and was apparently preparing to go further into the noun tains, or to some other section of the wild country. He was evidently aware that the officers were on his trail Af- ter being handcuffed Walker seized a revolver belonging to one of the camp laborers and tried to kin himself. but was prevented from doing so by the police under command of Jose Jiminez chief of police at Ensenada.
 Walker is now iil close confinement in a single cell in private department of the jail and is accorded the best oi care. Meals are served from a restaur- ant and he is not subjected to any oi the indignities that usually attend the prisoners in Mexican jail. This treatment will be continued at least until his positive Identification.

VITAL BLOW FOR THE HUGHES BOOM Republican Committee of New York County Refuses to
 Consider His En-
 dorsement.
ACTION ALMOST UNANIMOUS
Resolution Postponed and the Whole Question Put of for Month Ex-Lieutenant Governor
 Woodruff Surprised.

New York, Dec. 19-At a session to- night which lasted less than ten minutes the republican county commit tee of New York county, by almost unanimous vote, refused to consider at present a resolution endorsing Cover nor Charles E. Hughes for the repub- lican presidential nomination. No sooner had the resolution been offered by the friends of the governor and it's adoption moved than there came an amendment to receive and print the document and make it a special order for the regular meeting in January This latter motion was carried with a shout that could be heard out into the street An immediate motion to adjourn was also carried with whoop.
 The action of the committee in post poning the matter was regarded as q foregone conclusion when the delegates assembled. During the late afternoon the executive committee had somewhat heatedly discussed the subject for three quarters of an hour, and, finally, tonight, on motion of Congressman Herbert Parsons, president of the coun- ty committee, it was agreed by a vote of 377 to 95 that definite action on the Hughes resolution be deferred for one month. Mir. Parsons has been gener- ally reported as taking the stand that no endorsement of the governor should be made without a resolution just as enthusiastically approving the course and policies of President Roosevelt. MT. Parsons has counselled deliberaton by the committee as against the enthusi- asm with which the friends of Cover nor Hughes have recently taken up the subject of his availability for the pres- lidential nomination, When he took the chair to preside at to-night's brief meeting he received quite demonstra- ton
 As soon as the committee met the Hughes resolution was offered. It was prepared by State Senator Martin Sake. who has recently had some cor respondence with the governor during which the latter said he would suggesl nothing as to what the county commit tee should or should not do as to ex. pressing desire that his name be pre- sented to the next national convention Harry w. Mack, leader of the Eff. teenth Assembly district, stood sponsor for the resolution He declared he of fered it in no spirit of antagonism te Congressman Parsons, whom he had always held in high regard, but he be. lieyed he was expressing the senti- ment of the people in suggesting that Mir. Hughes name be placed before the republican convention at Chicago At the mention of Mir Hughes name there was some applause and cheering

 On certain main propositions he thought there should be little, if any, difference of opinion. These were:
 First, Our present volume of money is adequate for the ordinary demand of business and, therefore, we do not need and should not have ex- pansion
 Second, The additional or supple mental emergency circulation should be, if possible, identical with some form of money in ordinary and con stant use, lest its presence cause alarm and thus defeat the purpose for which { 1t is authorized
 Third, The relief should be cap- able of immediate and local appliea- tion.
 Fourth, It's prompt retirement, as \ soon as the demand therefore ceases, should be insured
