MRS. REFS IS 84
 YEARS YOUNG AS
 SHOWN BY JOURNEY

Mrs. Pauline Rees. mother of Loren Rees. the well known actor. has just returned from 8 two weeks jaunt through the Berkshires which shows that although she has reached her S4th year she is still young in spirits and activity. Without any companion Mrs. Rees made the journey from her home here to New Milford where after pleasant stay she continued her jour- ney to West Stockbridge. Mass. thence to Dalton and finally to Pittsf1eld. She practically retraced her steps on the homeward trip. She attended to all of her personal wants. purchased her own tickets and made all of the ar engagements for her travels. Pretty fine showing for lady who is within. 15s years of the century mark! Mrs. Rees upon her arrival home, Saturday, expressed herself as having enjoyed the time of her life and instead of being tired she said she was ready to repeat the journey.

FORBES LANDS AT CORINTH, MISS.
 LEADING IN RACE

Corinth, Miss, June I've landed at Corinth, Mississippi, at 4:12, central time, this morning, having travelled about 400 miles. The time was 35 hours and ten minutes, and we crossed Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama making for Mobile, but the wind changed in night to south and was forced to land here. Have plenty of ballast left.
 New York, June 7.-The New York Forbes and Harmon) landed at 4:12 this morning at Corinth, Miss, 400 miles from Indianapolis. The Hoosier Baldwin and Walsh) landed this morning at Green Briar, Tenn., 300 miles from Indianapolis. Only the In- diana (Ffsher and Bumbaugh) SRnd the St. Louis III are yet to be reported.
 Indianapolis. Ind. June 7.-From the fragmentary reports received here up to late hour from the nine balloons that left here saturday afternoon it is evident it will turn out to be a much more interesting race than was ex- pected and it is quite possible that the official American distance record may be broken.
 It will be an interesting race also because of the many mysterious things that are happening along the way. AL ready the charge has been made that one of the balloons which came down early was tempered with before it left the earth. and the few aerOnauts who remained behind and those who have returned here after landing are unable to account for some of the strange per- formances of the balloons.

TT IS TO LAUGH AT BRIDGEPORT
 (Hartford Courant

That is a very illuminating and very amusing letter which is reported else where this morning from the Bridge port Farmer" It seems to show that there is good deal yet to be explain ed. The Illuminating Company, which had refused to furnish electricity to the Rowland Dry Goods Company at 10 cents suddenly offered to furnish it at cents provided the dry goods com pany would close down it's own elec- tric plant. Now MT. Morehouse an- nounces at the state house that this offer was made at such low rate in order to load up a rival with unprof1t- able rates. Isn't that delicious? But the companys managers said they were able to make the offer because cost of production had gone down so much, and now Bridgeport turns up with a contract on the part of the same company in which it agrees to reduce it's charges to the city when cost of production is reduced. That's kinder funny" too, when all things are considered It is very possible that electricity should be distributed by single company in a community, but there is no reason under the sun why a man should be forbidden to sup ply his next-door neighbor. if he does not cross any street or the land of any objecting owner. The appear ance of the electric interests in this Bridgeport episode has been singular ly discreditable. They started a raid on the public with full measure of ava ricious monopoly, but when they found that it would not work they turned about ard demanded that the offend ed public should let them alone.

BODY OF DROWNED MAN AWAITING
 IDENTIFICATION

Up to press hour today the body of the man found floating in the Housa- tonic river, opposite Putney yesterday forenoon by Nelson Blakeslee and his brother who were out launching, had been unidentified. Medical Examiner Cogswell of Stratford viewed the re- mains and ordered them taken in charge by Undertaken Frank l.. Cur tis of Stratford, at whose parlors they will remain several days awaiting Identification.
 Medical Examiner Cogsweu thought the body had been in the water about ten days. It is that of a man about 50 years old, five feet ten inches in height, and weighing about 150 to 160 pounds. His hair and moustache were brown, tinged with gray. He wore dark suit of good material. The under clothing was also of good material. being of the athletic style. He wore turndown linen collar. But ton shoes and black stockings com pleted the outfit.
 There was nothing in his pockets to learn his name, though three hand kerchiefs were found. On one was the letter "N" while on another in indel- ible ink was the letters "J. F." One dollar and five cents was found in his trousers.

(Special from United Press)


 Vaudeville. La, June 7.-Ten bodies age of the wharf which collapsed here yesterday afternoon just as an excur- sion steamer was landing. Fifteen were seriously injured and forty others slightly hurt. The Grand Jury will hold a Federal session today to con eider indfcting officials of the New Orleans & St. Tammany railroad (which owns the wharf. Indictments may also be asked against the owners of the steamer Margaret
 Persons who saw the accident de- full speed and struck the wharf a ter rife blow. Those on the pier were members of an excursion crowd out for a day. They crowded down on the platform of the wharf waiting for @ chance to board the vessel. Those in the back pressed forward and when the steamer struck they forced those on the edge into the water.
 As soon as the nature of the acci- dent was realized the work of rescue began. First those standing on the More than hundred were in the wa ter. Sixteen hundred life preservers, all those aboard the Margaret and those at the docks, were thrown to them. Life boats were lowered from the steamer and sent out from the shore. Ten minutes later the work of rescue was nearly over. Seventy-five were taken out. A few others man. aged to save themselves.
 Many were drowned, it is believed, because they were stunned before fall- ing overheard, by the collision of the steamer with the pier.

FELL DOWN STAIRS;
 BROKE HIS NECK

John J. Blewitt who resided at PAS Sterling street, fell down the stairway of the boarding house kept by Mrs. Emma Hayward at 112 Wall street, about 1 o'clock Sunday morning, breaking his neck, death being almost instantaneous. No one at the house could give any explanation of how the man fell, but it is believed that he was ascending the stairs and was sudden ly taken ill.
 The inmates of the house were aroused from their sleep and found the unfortunate man at the foot of the stairs. The body lay in such a posi- ton that it wedged the front door so that it could not be opened. Patrol men Gregory and Connery who were passing by, attracted by the commo- ton inside the house. finally opened the door. The ambulance" was called but the services of the physicians were not necessary. Permission was given by Medical Examiner Downs to re- move the body to the undertaking parlors of Rourke & Rourke. The un- fortunate man is survived by a widow and a son, a bell boy at the Strat- field.

"JIM" JACQUES
 GOES TO JAIL
Long Time Proprietor of Shady Water Street Re sort Finally Reaches a
 Cell.
Sentenced to Four Months Confinement Today by Judge Walsh - Accused Breaks Down and Weeps When Court Announces It's Decision.

With tears streaming down his face James Jacques, owner of Jacques Ho- tel" on Water street received a sen tence of four months in the county jail this morning by Judge James F. Walsh who heard his case in the Grim inal Common Pleas Court. Jacques was also fined $75. It was in the fore part of April of this year that the Law Enforcement League of which Judge Edward K. Nicholson is the counsel employed Axel Johnson ana his band of gum shoe'' experts to get evidence on Jacques.
 They visited his place of business, saw that gambling was going on, that liquor was being sold after hours, and that it was a house of assignat1on They produced their evidence in the tence of three months in jail and s10 and costs for keeping a house Of as- signation; one month in jail and $l0 and costs for conducting a gambling house; and $75 and costs for selling liquors at unlawful hours.
 Jacques counsel Attorney V. R. c. Giddings appealed on all three counts. Judge Nicholson in reviewing in court to-day the life. of Jacques while he was a resident in this city said that the man had been conducting the same business on which he faced the court for twenty years. but that he had nev- CT received a Jail sentence, although he had been hailed before the lower
 
 His methods had never changed, he lived in clear defiance of the law. At torney Giddings made a strong plea for the imposing of a fine He told how Jacques was friend of the city, harboring a number of the most low ly, who would be a bore on the city if they were not taken in. On the house of assignation count Jacques was giv- en three months; 30 days for keeping a gambling house, and s75 for selling liquors at unlawful hours.
 When the decision of the court was announced Jacques could not keep back the tears. It was the first time in his long and cfeckered career that anyone remembers the negro to give way to his feelings. Jacques has al ways claimed to be a. friend and ally of the police and it is a fact that mem bers of the patrol force have asserted that Jacques was of benefit to them in helping run to cover persons wanted for attractions of the law. Because of this alleged aid the police have for years winked at Jacques violation of the law.

WEAVERS' STRIKE
 AT PLUSH SHOP

Thfrty-two weavers in the mohair department of the Salts Textile Works went on strike this noon and said they were not getting enough money. ASevera1 of the strikers de- clared they were cut from to cents a yard in their work. At the office of the company it was stated that there had been no cut in the wages of the men and that the management was at a loss to know why the men went out. It was hinted that man named John Capozzi has been telling his fellow em- ployes for several weeks that they were underpaid and that they had bet ter quit work in order to get more money.
 Secretary Rhods said that the pecu- liar part of the whole thing was that none of the men who quit came near the office with their demands. The strike did not prevent the operation of the mohair department and it is said that the places of the strikers can be readily filled as little or no skill is needed to operate the looms.
 The strikers retired peaceably and the Farmer reporter was unable to learn up to press hour whether they intended to make any demand upon the company. The strikers have no organization.

 CONNECTICUT

At a meeting of the past exalted rulers of the Connecticut lodges of E1ks held in New Haven yesterday a committee appointed last winter re- ported in favor of dividing this state into two districts to the end that the state may have two instead of one district deputy.

Bridgeport lodge was represented at the meeting by five past exalted .ru1- CTS. The candidates of Garry Her man of Cincinnati for grand exalted ruler was endorsed as was that of Ed ward A. Leach of New York for grand treasurer. It was also voted to endorse Dr. James H. Kelly of New Haven for grand esteemed loyal knight. The delegates enjoyed a de- lightful dinner.

IN THE CITY COURT

As a result of the raid led by Serge ant Phil Blansf1eld yesterday afternoon five freouenters were found guilty of frequenting a house of i'll repute. Jen- nie Katz was fined $10 and costs; Susie Seb sent to jail for 15 days; Jim De- Angles fined s1O and costs: James Schmidt fined $1O and costs, and John Panschwig fined s5 and costs.
 Emma Williams. charged with keep ing a shady resort in the Berkshire flats was granted continuance until tomorrow. The case of John Smith who claims he was robbed in the place was also continued until tomorrow. He is charged with frequenting. Pearl Russell who was arrested in the place forfeited a bond of $25.
 Frank Hughes, charged with non support was placed under the charge of the probation officer for six months.
 George Higgins. who is charged with being a swindler will not be given a that he has been short changing people with an old two dollar bill trick. and that he got caught working the game at the O. K. lunch room in State street.
 John Barber. who was alleged to have been one of a quartet who at tackled Nicholas Pagan at his home in Cedar street on Saturday morning was allowed to go because Pagan failed to identify him. Fagan's wife was re- gently sent to jail and it is said that Fagans assailants were friends of the woman. He was cut in the neck while defending himself from the quartet and if it had not been for his bull dog he probably would have fared more severely. The dog bit two of his mas ter's assailants.
 Four Italians found in a house at 35 Gilbert street were allowed to go by Judge Wilder. Hazel Lawson who was with the party was sent to jail for 30 days charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace. Judgment was suspended in the case of Lenora flaw ley. who was also with the party. As a result of the raid the police went to 35 Gilbert street this morning and ar rested Hannah Moves. her husband Alden Moves. and Margaret Connaught. The Moves woman said she was just packing up her goods to get out of town and it is quite probable that the authorities will allow her to go.
