A Sad ding.
(New Britain Herald.)


 Though fully deserved 1t Is neverthe- less a sad ending 10 a career which began so well and which was fraught so much with power for usefulness and good. Walkers crime Ia serious one he robbed the bank of which he had so long been trusted official, he came near wrecklng it, and besides he stole the funds of the religious organization which an ordinary offender would have hestitated even to touch. It all showed a total disregard for sentiment, for those who might have suffered hardship by reason of his crimes, and for the good will of the people he so long en- joyed. No one will take seriously his statement of his lapse of memory or that he did all his stealing during the four months which immediately pre- ceded his departure from this city. Peo- pie of New Britain who had dealings with him know better than that No man could have stolen so much money in such a short time unless his hands had been stained before. His punish ment, however, Is different from what was expected,

 According to M. Iswolsky the confer ences between the president and the emperor and of the diplomatic repre- sentatives of Russia and France cover ed the general range of European poll ties. touching all questions now inter esting diplomatic chancelleries. A com plete understanding concerning the problems in which the two nations are jointly concerned was reached as well as with regard to questions arising out of the situation In Persia and Morocco, which are considered within the spc, cial sphere of either of the allies. The keynote of the addresses upon the ex- change of toasts at the banquet. was the desire of both France and Russia to maintain the general peace of the world and the equilibrium of Europe Similar declarations were made at the meeting between Emperor Nicholas and King Edward
 During the afternoon the President'e son went ashore and visited many of the public places, but M. Fallieres him self did not touch Russian soil during the visit.

 Method of Turning on Power.
 In order to examine the crew of the Kriss Kross, Coroner Mix had them all at his office yesterday afternoon in connection with his investigation into the death of little Edward J. Lind staed. In order to allow them to be present the device was closed for a time yesterday afternoon, but 1t was running again late in the afternoon and in the evening and was not stop ped, as had been reported. by order Of the coroner,
 In regard to the statement which Is attributed to the children who were on tho Kriss Kross with the dead boy that the boy was thrown by sudden jerk of the car as 1t started up, the mar agement of the device stated last night that this Is impossible as the Kriss Kross cannot be started with a jerk. It is operated like a trolley car bj an electric controller which is put oh notch by notch and the power n- creases gradually, starting the cars slowly and gradually increasing move ment. To turn on full power at first would burn out the motor instead of starting with a jerk. On account of this electrical fact the management asserts that the starting with a jerk theory is untenable.

HONDURAS TURNS ALL CONSULS OUT American and Foreign Repre- sentatives at the Port of Ceiba Charged With
 Aiding Rebels. EXEQUATURS CANCELLED They Interyencd in Behalf of Non- Combatants During Recent
 Troublcs--Our Gunboat
 on the Scene.
EXEQUATURS CANCELLED

Washington, July 2s,-Because they intervened In behalf of the non-com- batants the consular representatives of the various governments at Ceiba have Incurred the displeasure of Pres ident Davlla of Honduras and he has cancelled their exequaturs, The activ- ity of the consuls occurred just pre- ceding the revolutionary attack upon Ceiba about ten days ago when the revolutonists were repulsed by the government troops Information of the concelling of the exequaturs reached the state department to-day from Drew Llnard, the American consul at Ceiba. He has been asked by the department to send by cable q full statement of the facts leading up to the action taken by President Da- villa. Future action of the department may depend upon his reply It is q well settled principle of International practice that a government may re- fuse to Issue an exequatur to any person appointed to consular posi- ton and also to cancel an eXequatur, after lt Is granted, for good reasons. This privilege has been exercised by this government on more than one occasion.
 Word reached the state department last week that considerable dissatis- faction existed at Ceiba with the for eign consuls there, but later reports indicated that the tirade against them by the local newspapers had ceased Following a conference today between Acting Secretary of State Bacon and Acting Secretary of the Navy Newber- ry, it was announced that the gunboat Marietta now at Porto Cortez, Hondu- ras, will remain there until further or ders. officials say, however, that the situation there and in most of the oth- CT portions of Honduras has again be- come quiet. It will require several weeks for the cruiser Milwaukee, now at Honolulu, to reach Amapala, where she is to relieve the Albany.

 This ended the testimony for the de- fensc, MT. smyth intimating 1t would not be necessary for them to summon Miss DcNoe because of the courts rul. ing. After argument between counsel and the court as to the filing of briefs 1t was finally fixed that decision would be handed down on Friday at 10 o'clock in the morning.
 It was learned tonight from Mir. Gould's counsel that his answer to the petition of his wife asking for ab- solutc divorce had been served on Mon- day upon Lawyer Sprague, Mrs. Gould's counsel, and that under oath MT. Gould had denied the charges made against him in the complaint.

 Just at this juncture endorsements came 10 Stowell in the person of OHl- cer John Henra nan, who fought his way through the mob and tok his stand with his brother officer. Henrahan got the worst of the argument While some of the crowd were repulsed with some stinging blows upon their anatomy the only blood spilled was that of Officer Henrahan, who stopped a vicious punch with his nose, and sustained nose bleed as the result. The blood from this blow covered much of the upper part of the officers coat and nearly put It out of working order. stowelr

 The New Haven Journal Courier Is pursuing MT.

However it may be with the republican machine. 1t is not probable that the voters have forgotten the "shiftless reasoning and reckless conduct to which the Courier refers, which was very severely censur. ed by house committee. Nor Is it wholly probable that the Taft candi- dacy Is strong enough in industrial Connecticut to pull through an unpop- ular nomination for governor.

 Edward F. Ravens, the district at torneys detective, told of the arrest of Mrs. Teal Miss Fleming and Nous ley and said he found on Mousley q photograph of Mir. Gould and the affl- davit signed by Miss McCauslan.
 The prosecution then rested and Messrs. Smyth and Blumenthal, for the defense, made arguments asking for the discharge of their clients.
 Magistrate Corrigan reserved de- cision on these motions and Frank J. Gould was called as the first witness for the people. Mr. Gould said he was the defendant in a divorce case of Gould vs. Could.
