 Automobile Accidents
 R. Craig Van Deventer, of Wilton, and his forty horse?power racing auto came to grief Saturday in Cannon Station. when the steering gear gave ditch with the result that a broken spring was sustained. MT. Van De- venter was uninjured, probably owing to the fact that he was only going at a moderate rate of speed.
 Joseph P. Chandler. chauffeur for H. Durrant Cheever. pleaded guilty in the Greenwich court last week to a charge of driving his machine without a H- cense. Chandler was arrested after colliding with a wagon driven by Henry O'Brien, a calf-dealer. O'Brien was thrown out and the wagon de- molfshed. The horse ran and was caught by chauffeur of an approach ing car. Chandler gave as his excuse, that the lights of two approaching cars dazzled his eyes. He was fined $1 and costs, which were paid.

PROF. MONOGHAN
 SCORES SOCIALISM

Pittsburg, Aug. 11.-Delegates to the National Federation of Catholic Churches and Catholics in general are aroused to a high pitch of enthusiasm and excitement today following the address on Socialism of Professor J. c. Monaghan in which he declares that if it were necessary Cardinal Gibbons and every priest in the coun- try would melt the sacred vessels of the altar to provide a fund for the defense of the United States
 s'My objection to Socialism," said Professor Monaghan, "is that the policy is destructive to this country We won't stand for revolution, but want evolution under the law. Men who have achieved success did not waste their time with lamentations like some of our Socialists of today. If the Socialists would look more for op- portunity than they do for a chance to stir up discontent they would be more worth while."
 The convention of the Federation will continue today with the election of officers.

- MT. Moulthrop was picked up in an unconscious condition. It is believed that no bones were broken, but MT. Moulthrop is suffering from bruises and contusions that cover nearly his whole body. He says he. neither heard nor saw anything of the Bixey auto. The driver of the Rixey auto said he footed his horn and called to MT. Moulthrop, but he is sure the latter did not hear him.

 Therefore be it.
 Resolved: That in his long and faithful service to this Bank as one of its Trustees since 1875 and later as it's Vice-President, MT.

 Resolved: That we deeply mourn his death and join with the many other institutions, religious, charitable and financial with which he was associa- marked worth of his character and ability which prompted these many in- stitutions to seek his services as a trusted counselor, adviser and admin istrator, exhibiting in every capacity happy and remarkable combination of strength of character and will, a. winning modeStyI of manner and speech perfect fairness, uncommon good judg- ment and a conservatism which was gress.

Crown Prince Attempts
 Assassination of Brother

Belgade, (via Selmin,) Aug. 1.-The attempted assassination of Crown Prince Alexander by his brother, Prince George, is openly charged today by many persons here as a result of a bomb explosion near the Crown princes house. A suspect has confessed that he fired the bomb and said that Prince George hired him to do it. When con- fronted by. the prisoners confession, Prince George admitted that he had hired him but explained that he was merely testing the explosive.
 With this explanation the police dropped the inquiry as royal pressure was then brought to bear. The public, however. desired the story and believe that Prince George has been in a sullen mood ever since he was practically forced to yield the heirship to the Ser vian throne in favor of his younger brother, and deliberately sought his brothers death. Prince Georges re- cord for recklessneMR and cruelty is such that 1t support~ tHis contention.
