DETAINED AS WITNESS.
Will Be Paid $2 a Day If Obliged
 -,., .. .s-.,. ss Ta Go To Jail. .s.


 One of the most peculiar cases that have been heard of in this city and the first of its kind in Water bury Is the arrest this morning of Radius Bothcelli Under the word charge" on the slate is detained witness" under which the prisoner is held. Bothcelli was injured or the evening that Antonio Geneva was murdered by Michael Carpinelli. Bothcelli was shot in the shoulder but was not seriously hurt so that now he is almost as we'll as ever. Fearing that he might leave the city before the trial comes up Tn the superior court. Assistant States At torney Kellogg had a warrant issued for his arrest according to a statue recently passed. Bothcelli may ne bailed out but if he should not, to- morrow he will be taken to jail. But every day that he remains behind the bars. he will be paid g so that he will have some consolation should he be compelled to stay there long. Bothcelli does not seem .o be wor- rying much and perhaps may like the confinement since there is a balm for his feelings. The state pays the money.
 Bothcellii was asked this afternoon if he thought he would remain in jail until the case against Carpinelli was called. He replied that he would. He said he did not like the idea of being inside but was delighted with pros poets of receiving s2 a day and his board.

NEW HAVEN FIRE
Rats Start a Blaze Amidst Cases of Matches and Ton of Wat
 CT Destroys Stocks.

New Haven, Sept. 11.-Heavy dam- age by water resulted from a fire to- day which was confined to the top floor of the building at 3S5 State street owned by William N. and Fred erick S. Parker. The Elm City Manu- featuring company's plant was locat- ed there and slowed away under a corner in the roof were hundreds of cases of matches. It is believed that rats got into the matches and started the fire. Two alarms brought out nearly every engine in the city and the firemen worked for six hours on the blaze. :. The fire broke out at o'clock, and in an hour the roof over the manufacturing company fell in.
 The flames threatened the adjoin- ing stores of Edward E. Hall, the fancy grocer, and the New Haven Paper company, and in an attempt to save these places the firemen flooded the building with thousands of tons of water. The stock of each of these companies was practically ruined. MT Hall placing his loss at $25,000 and the paper company figured that $10,- 900 worth of paper was spoiled. August L. Snyder, the proprietor of the Elm City Manufacturing company places his loss at $20,000 and the en- tire $55,000 is practically covered by insurance.
 The grocery store and the paper company are in the block owned by the Parkers.

DAIRYMEN HERE
Looking Afier Violations of the
 Pure Food Law.

Dairy Commissioners Noble and Eaton have been in town the past few days but they did not leave their visiting cards with anybody. In one store the visitors asked for a quantity of butter All of the clerks were busy at the time and one, a meat cutter. dropped his knives and cleavers and went to attend upon the customer. In- stead of wrapping the butter up in a paper specially branded for the butter asked for, the meat cutter did it up in ordinary wrapping paper. And so the charge was made of selling renovated butter without it being so labeled.
 Another store was charged with selling mustard that was adulterated and unbranded. What the eommis- sioners expect to prove in this matter is not known, further than their case. but it Is said that several people bought mustard which was eomposed of rice and other ingredients and that the percentage of mustard was very small in proportion to that of the oth- CT elements in the package. Both cases went over to tomorrow morning as the states witnesses were not in court

WEARY PIGEON CARRIER.
Flew Into Tracy Brothers Workshop
 To-Day.

The workmen at Tracy Brothers workshop were more than surprised this morning when a pigeon flew in the window of the third story of the building. It walked around the room a while, sat on the window sill and made itself right to home. Frank Demers picked the bird up and saw that it was a carrier pigeon. It was apparently very tired and was almost famished judging from the, way that 1t went at the food that was placed in front of it. MT Demers said he never saw an animal so hungry. He now has it in cage but when it is rested it will in all probability be freed. It will undoubtedly continue to its des- tination as do all good carrier pig cons. On its feet are two rings, one of brass and the other of wire, which evidently were placed there when the bird was young. The letters on the bird are. P. Y. and No. 15,537.

OLD HOME WEEK.
To Be Held By St Thomas Parish II
 October.

The festival which will open at St Thomas church on the evening of Oc- tober 2 will be something out of the ordinary in so far that it will partake of the old home week feature, which is bound to attract many to the place. The affair is in charge of the Chil- dren of Mary, the Holy Name society and the married women of the parish. The married women will have booths of their own and already considerable friendly rivalry exists between them and the Children of Mary regarding the kind of booths they will have. Meanwhile the men folks are not idle and have decided to best the women. Of course they will have to hustle to '-d0 y1is, put IT they get together and .naake.u up their minds to give them a hustle the women will have to step lively to hold their own. The con- mittee expects to interest everybody and especially. people who have lived in that part of the town and now re- side in other districts so that it real iy would not be out of place to call 1t St Thomas old home week festival.

FRANCE AND GERMANY
Papers May Stir Up a Broil That Diplomats Are Trying
 10 Avoid.

Paris, Sept 11,-Practically all the morning papers here continue to com. ment on Germany's official reply to the note of France regarding the policing of the Moroccan ports by Franch and Spanish troops pending the enlistment of Moorish police. Some of them dwelt upon the fact that the text of the German reply was pnb- lished before it reached the French foreign office.
 The Echo de Paris says:
 Both the form and the substance of the note are regrettable Germany has not. reiterated her appreciation of the policing policy, verbally ex- pressed last week, but mas manifest ed an ill-tempered frame of mind and has given entirely inopportune ad- vice"
 The Figaro expresses the opinion that Tn spite of the anti-French rav- ings of certain German newspapers, Germany and France have reached a better understanding"
 The Libre Parole finds Germany's reply to be satisfactory. saying that she merely amicably pointed out the dangers which might arise from the inadequate policing of the Moroccan ports''

THE OLD VETS
Shoulder lo Shoulder They Are Marching. 10 the Strains of
 Old War Music
IN LINE

Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 11-Marti9l
 music, the old war time tures t.
 which the soldiers of the civil war had marched in many campaigns awakened Saratoga at an early hour to-day-the day of the parade of the veterans who are here attending the national encampment of the Grand army. It was expected that fifteen thousand paraders would be in line and the weather which had been un- favorable in the early morning gave promise of brightening before tie hour scheduled for the start. SIgnifi- cant of the failing strength of the veterans was the fact that the parad- ing distance was reduced to ono mile-the shortest ever fixed for the national encampment. For the first time the parade was limited to mem bers of the grand army instead of being open to all survivors Of the war.
 The village was ablaze with the national colors, covering the fronts of buildings, strung in the interior of the great convention tall where the sessions of the encampment were held. The parade itself was scheduled to begin at p. m., but it seemed certain to be much la,er in starting. One of the features of the parade was the presence of a big flag which covered the body of General Grant on its way from Mt McGregor to the tomb. In custody of the Grenadier guard commanded by Colonel F. M. Sterrett of St Louis of which every man was over six feet tall and each representing one of the forty-five departments of the G. A. R., this old flag brought up the extreme rear. As planned the national officers in carriages with Governor Charles E. Hughes of this state led the line, the chief of staff in command being J.. Cary Winans of Toledo. The department of state of New York although entitled by scni- ority to fifth place selected as hosts the left of the line which included a representation of every department, including Alaska and of every branch of the service. Starting at Wood lawn park the parade was scheduled to march down Broadway to Circular street and there pass in review be- fore Governor Hughes attended by several members of his military stan and before the national officers of the G. A, R.
 To-day's program began with a reception at Congress hall, the New York state headquarters, in honor of Governor Hughes, at 11:30. At 12:30 luncheon was served by the department of New York to the governor, Commander in Chief Robert B. Brown and. his staff. Past national officers and other distin- guished guests. Meanwhile there had been reunions of the various or ganizations.
 Special ambulances and automo. piles are stationed at convenient points and during the parade Red Cross details are to be stationed at short intervals to care for any who might be overcome and fall cut of line.
 Tonight there will be mastering in service.
 The real business of the conven- tion will begin tomorrow with the annual address of retiring com mander Brown, reports of oGcers and committees and possibly election of officers. The latter however may be postponed until Friday. The place of the next national encamp- ment is still in doubt.

LA family skeleton revealed to a crowded court room in South Orange through a beau- tiful boy of four years divided atten- tion with Frank Amy, contracting carpenter of Newark. who pleaded for possession of the child.

 of his mother he raised his voice in protest and stretched out his hands in appeal toward ex-Assem blyman Timo- thy Barrett and his wife. whom he had been taught to call papa and mamma. They had been we'll nigh distracted with grief over the Kidnapping of Ro-. land earlier in the day from their home at Hixson place and Valley avenue, South Orange.

Invents Machines For Cure of Liars.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept 11.-Profess- or Hugo Munsterberg of Harvard uni. versity has just crowned the achieve ments of life devoted to psycholog- ical research by the invention of sev- eral little machines to record the emo- tions and reveal the secrets of the hu- man mind. No less a criminal than Harry Orchard was made the subject of Professor Munsterberg's first ex- haustive test of these machines. These tests were made at the time of the trial at Boise. Perhaps the most deli cate of these queer instruments is the "sphygmagraph," which is attached to the wrist and. records the action of the heart beats. Of the three kinds of emotion that of the heart is the most sensitive and the least influenced by the will. For this very reason it is the surest test The record of its halts. jumps and rapid beating is the most significant of all. Machines to cure liars one scientist designates them.

PARKER RETURNS TO CHARGE
Says Congress Should Have Probed
 Hartman Fund For Roosevelt.


 New York, Sept, 11.-Alton B. Par. ker, Democratic candidate for the pres. idency in 1904, contributes a signed ar. ticle to the World in regard to the Hartman campaign fund. MT. Parker says in part:
 Congress should have performed the service to the country that the World and other papers are now at. tempting to render it. Senator Till man introduced a resolution calling for an investigation of the charge that deemed it my duty to make in the campaign of 1904. That resolution should have been passed and an op- portunity afforded to prove the amounts contributed by the many and various protected industries of the countrywide insurance and other gi- gantic corporations, including the great railroad corporations.
 Such an investigation would have F4isclosed that contributions were made by corporations whose officers knew that within a year. perhaps within Lthirty days, after election they would Ihave to go to the postmaster general for a renewal of their mail carrying contracts, and. being practical men, they realized that the attitude of that official might be affected by the cir cumstances of large contribution on the one hand or by refusal to con- tribute at his request on the other hand. They had reason to believe that the request for contribution by the chosen representatives of an adminis- tration implied an agreement to treat them as they had been treated before"

TWO CENT FARE DECIDEDVOID
Philadelphia Court Rules Against New
 Pennsylvania Railroad Law.

FnliaoeiphIa Court hules Against New
 Pennsylvania Railroad Law.
 Philadelphia, Sept. 11.-Judges Will son and Audenried in the common pleas court declared unconstitutional the two cent railroad fare law passed by the last legislature. The case upon which the decision was made will be at once taken to the state supreme court
 The decision was given in favor of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, which brought an action to determine the constitutionality of the law. Simi- lar actions have been brought in other eastern states in which the two cent law has been enacted. The contention made by the Pennsylvania Railroad company and sustained by the court was that the law was not constitution al because the two cent rate was fixed without any investigation by the legis- lature>. as to whether the railroads could make fair profit under the law, which the company asserted iticould not do.
