PINCHOT ON TAFT
Chief Forester Says Presi- dent is Thoroughly in Fla vor of Conservation.
(special from United Press

Special from United Press.)
 Cleveland, Sept. 30. -"President Taft, in his speeches and what he has written to me, has expressed himself so thoroughly in favor of conserva- tion that no one who reads what he has said can fail to understand his po- sition. He has committed himself absolutely to conservation projects
 In these words Chief Forester Gif- ford Pinchot to-day encompassed what he has tQ. say concerning the lat est phase Of the dispute over conserva- tion of forests, water power sites and coal lands. Pinchot came to Cleve- land, he said, for a consultation about a book he is soon to publish. He would not discuss President Taft's proposal to issue bonds enabling the execution of reclamation service pro- jects.,
 tI am not in the reclamation ser vice, consequently I cannot talk about it's plans.''
 Pinchot came direct from an inspec- tion of the forestry service covering two months and a meeting with Taft '"The forestry service is in better shape than ever before," Pinchot said. There is better spirit among the men,
 Does it seem that your projects are going to have fair sailing?' he was asked. '"The service has been bitterly attacked" he replied. "Of course it will be just as bitterly attacked in the future. But it is firmly established and I think we will be able to over- come any attempt to hamper it."

WROTE HIS NAME IN
 DUST OF SALOON
Then Closed the Place and Now Is Sued By Softeko on Charge of Illegal Con duct.

Exsheriff John Capozzi was an inn portapt figure in the suit of w. Sofet- ko, a saloon keeper of Hallett street. against the City of Bridgeport, which was heard by Judge Scott in the Com mon Pleas Court, civil side. this morn ing. The plaintiff is suing on the bond of, the sheriff. The case grew out of the doings of Capozzi, which caus- ed him to be arrested. and to lose his job as a city sheriff. Safetko owed bill of $65 to John D. Smarto. who is a. collector for local brewery. Smarto engaged Capozzi to get the money One afternoon the two proceeded to Sofetkos saloon. and when that place was filled with customers. came in upon them and told them the place was attached. Going to the till, Capozzi took out the contents. $2O. As that did not come up to the amount he was looking for he cleared the place of the customers and also sent the bartender into the street. He then wrote in the dust upon the bar John Capozzi, City Sheriff. He closed up the place. Sofetko now brings the suit on Capoz ! zi's bond as he claims the ex-sheriff did not have writ. The court re- served it's decision.

GOOD SHOWING BY
 EASTON OFFICIALS
Work of Selectmen Candee and Sherwood Appreciat- ed by Citizens of Both Parties.

When the annual town meeting is held in Easton, Oct. 4, the voters will be treated to a report from the Select men which will be most gratifying to them. A year ago the town appro- priated $3,000 to pay off a, deficit rep resented by back bills amounting to S4, 300. The Selectmen have complete ly wiped out this deficit without se- curing another appropriation. This excellent showing was made possible by, the collection. of back taxes. But that. the collection was not pressed in a way to cause hardship to any one is shown by the fact that there is a balance of back taxes of $1,800 yet to be collected. The dry, seasohs of the last two years have made matters diff ficult for the ,dairymen, and hence the relatively large amount of taxes un- paid.
 John H. Candee and J. Arthur Sher- wood, the members of the board who are responsible for this excellent show ing have been renominated by the Democrats of Easton. Their re-elec- ton is expected, because number of Republicans have already signified purpose to vote for them, and because they have given equal satisfaction to the members of their own party.

 Woodstock, Sept. 3O.-As the result of bullet wound in the abdomen, pr. A. E. Brunn, aged 55, died at his home here early today, his demise bringing to close the triple tragedy enacted here last night when Constantine F. Brunn, a well-to-do farmer, shot and killed his sister F'reida, fatally wound ed his brother and then blew out his own brains.
 Although no specific motive can be assigned to BrCnn's act, it is believed to have been committed in a fit of in sanity. According to his neighbors, he was of an cratic temperament and his actions of late had been very queer.
 Dr. Brunn was prominent figure in local politics, having represented Woodstock in the General Assembly of 1907, and at the time of his death was president of the woodstock Agricul- tural Society, He is survived by wife. C.. A. Brunn, the murderer, is survived by a wife and two sons.
 By a strange coincidence the son or the murderer and suicide arrived in town from New York almost at the moment the tragedy was being enacted at his uncle's house and was one of the first on the scene.
 The three immediately concerned in the shooting were the sons and daugh- ter Aof a-wealthy New York man, who died some six months ago and whose estate, valued at over $100,000, has not yet been settled.
 c. F. Brunn lived in a. small house in the village, some five minutes walk from the large estate on which have lived his brother, Dr. Armin B. Brunn, and his sister, Miss Freida. Last evening he came over to their house and said that his telephone did not work and he wanted to call up his wife, who was in Brooklyn. Then, without a moments warning, he drew

The largest crowd ever gathered in. this country to see a land para de wit messed the historical pageant of the
 Hudson-Fulton celebration in New York. It is estimated that fully 2.000,- GOO persons actually saw the procession and that 100000 more were deprived
 of a view of it mainly because of the lack of space. These are stupendous figures, but are born out by careful estimates made by the police and the city's transportation officials. All street railway records were broken. The sub- way and elevated lines carried 2,100,0 ,000 passengers during the day. Seats on the grand Nstands along Fifth avenue. sold at prices ranging from $1 to s25, and seats in all kinds of vehicles, in- cluding trucks and ice wagons, went at stiff prices. Thousands of small boys did a profitable business in soap boxes to be used as seats. Nearly every furnitur store in the greater city sold out it's stock of camp stools.
