GAGGED THE BOY
Burglars Were Making a Big Haul But We're Scared Away
 Without inc Booiy.

Pittsield, Mass, May 17.-An at- tempted burglary with sensational and mysterious features occurred here early to-day at the home of Dr H. J Couch The burglars bound and gagged Frank, the 1S-year-old son of the doctor as he was sleeping in a room across the corridor from his mothers and fathers apartment and then ransacked pr Couch's room where he and his wife were sleeping sound ly. Young Couch managed to work his gag loose sufficiently to make a untitled outcry which awakened his mother and frightened the intruders who in the meantime had been ran sacking the lower part of the house. They made their escape before they could be seen, leaving jewels valued at over $1,000 done up iri cloth on the dining room floor where they had been packing uR two valuable French clocks. An examination of the house showed that the only window unfast- ened was small one over the rear piazza which it was thought had been securely fastened during the evening. From appearances it was thought that the culprits had gained access to the house during the day and concealed themselves. From the fact that young Couch was bound and gagged it is presumed that the men hid in the large clothes press in his room. The boy said he had not look ed in there before going to bed, sim ply reaching in for his night clothing. The police had few clues to work upon,

IN DIVORCE COURT
MuIhoIIand Family Separated in the Superior Court-Other
 Cases.

Michael Mulholland was granted a divorce to-day from Jennie Mulhol- land in the superior court by Judge Gager. The ground on which 1t was granted was infidelity. The defend- ant was Jennie Brick and 1t was claimed that she ran away from her husband with another man to Bridgeport. The couple were mar ried in 1902 and were very well known in the eastern section of the city. Policeman Peter H. Hall and Deputy Sheriff Peter Dolan, both of Bridgeport, testified to the defend- ants reputation in that city and that she was arrested once or twice for street walking. Dolan had not fin- ished his testimony when the court informed him he had stated enough. The plaintiff was allowed the GUS tody of his son Francis, aged 2 years.
 Frank J. Coon asked for divorce from his wife, Minnie McMullen Coon, on the grounds of infidelity also. This couple were married on January 30, 1904. Both were em- ployed at the time by the Waterbury Manufacturing Co, by the employees of which MT Coon is very much re- spected. He is quite young man and his demeanor on the stand told quite plainly that he felt his posi- ton. A man whom William O'Hearn, one of the witnesses, said was Bob" Whitney, seemed to be the cause of the trouble. O'Hearn stated he knew both MT and Mrs Coon before their marriage. About a year and a half ago he saw Mrs Coon in the wine room of the Bank hotel with a man who was not her husband. This was about o'clock in the evening and the following morning about7 o'clock he saw her in hallway up stairs with the same man. He identified photograph as that of the defend ant. He also saw her out riding with Bob" Whitney. He passed by the woman in the hallway of the hotel, but did not speak to her.
 The court could not understand this in view of the witness's state ment that he had known the woman several years, but he explained it by saying that he had had a few words with her short time previously.
 The court took the papers to con- slider the evidence, reserving his de- cision.

HAVE THE TIMES MAILED TO YOU.
SATURDAY. JULY 6, 1907.
Satisfied With Zones.

Shl Sh! You're in a zone! Don't
make so much noise!
Be prepared for such a remon-
STRANGE if your enthusiasm in speak
ing of home leads you TO raise your
voice either in New York or Chicago.
They have given up the idea of ton
ing down the whole burg. Instead
of that, they have created areas of
about two squares diameter with a
hospital or two at each center.
Then the following, taking notice
from signs, viii keep still:
Fast driving teamsters.
Noisy milkmen in early morning.
Automobiles.
Gripmen with bell gongs to strike.
Hucksters.
Locomotive engineers with whis-
ties to toOt and bells to ring.
Children at play in the street.
Let not us mock the dreams OF
these two great cities. With their
narrow streets, their congested traf'
tic, their accustomed din, they must
begin reform modestly. If every
teamster, noisy milkman, automobile
list, gripman, huckster, and locomo-
tive engineer in the District of Co
lumbia had vote, and if they were
all as regardless as they are in New
York and Chicago, and if the city
government looked on the male chill.
dren with one eye focused on their
coming of age, maybe we would be
satisfied with zones, too.

= Plenty to See.

An expert from the Forestry De-
partment, so it is announced, is to
visit the WIN Ute mountains this week
and begin il hvestigations with refer
ence TO theIadvisability of establish
ing a forest reserve in our most pic
turesque region. This is good news,
for it looks as if the strong force of
the Administration were about ready
to take up the big stick" in favor
of the bill and teach Uncle Joe Can
non that, with all his power and
keenness, he is not actually the mas
ter of all legislation in this country.
So far, so good
This expert will have plenty to
see and plenty of material for
thought in the White mountain
regions. He will find that disas-
trous slaughter of the trees has
been and is still going on in the
northerly slopes of the Presidential
range. He will discover a like state
of affairs in the great wild region
between the FT1nconia and the
Crawford nOtches. Everywhere he
will run into visible evidences of the
determined effort to get all the tim
Der possible from the noble White
hills before Congress shall stay the
axes and saws Of the big lumber
concerns.

CURED of the Washington emissary.
Ali he need do is to travel about a
little and use his eyes. Everyone
familiar with that beautiful and his
tOric section can tell in advance
what his report will be. May it be
powerful enough to compel the next
session of Congress to quick and de-
cided actionl

The Old SternWheeler.

st. Louis is coming to realize
what lot of sheep investors are.
Her papers are eager to see traffic
on the Mississippi assume proper
tons worthy of its capabilities. AS
we all know, the Father of Waters
today shares the comparative neg
lect of the Illinois, Missouri, Ohio,
and smaller streams of the Middle
West. But the man with the money
refuses to come in, though the
swimmin' is fine.
Three separate demands for river
traffic are now ignored, or practi-
cally so. The first is that of the
shipper, who sometimes cannot even
get his goods moved by rail; who
usually must wait longer for their
transportation by rail than if they
went by water; who always pays
more than the steamer need charge.
The second is that of the passenger
who would rather travel by water.
The third is that of the shipper and
passenger alike who would reach
river towns without being shunted
down railroad spurs from the main
line according to mighty inconveni-
ent schedules.
We of the East know enough of
the first and third demands. Well,
the second is not less important
The old stern-wheeler of inland
waters can be made very near the
ideal of travel. 1t is easy going as a
bed on rollers. It's staterooms are
as comfortable as ones chamber at
home. It's decks are broad enough
for the merriest entertainment
and the folk of the Mississippi val
ley have not forgotten how to have
good time It's table is served
with the choicest delicacies this con-
t;nent affords.
How many a clerk in a ST. Louis
store, or stenographer who curly
cues out her life in ten-story Office
building. or business man who APP
prehends a long day in a stuffy
sleeper, would be glad TO spend their
vacation on such a steamboat-the
Natchez, Jr., recreated, or the
Prairie Bell If you would know,
sit in the Office of the one or two
companies which maintain such
boats. Travellers find it as hard to
get accommodations there as we of
Washington find it hard to get
flowers" to New York. There would
be money in it if St. Louis capital
were to develop Mississippi traffic
on this account alone. But this is
the least of the three demands
for it.
