 A similar advertisement appeared in some of the local newspapers a few days ago
 That the association should be in need of 100 men is good news on the face of it to those who want to see this city grow But on the other hano the local branch of the Internauonal Association of Machinists look suspi- ciously upon the action of the ern- blowers when so many of their craIt walked the streets during the last summer.

BLAMES TREAT FOR
 STEALING BUSINESS
Witness Springs Sensation
 in Conservator Case of Yale Students Aged Wife
Special from United Press)


 Hartford. Nov. 2.-Several witnesses, chiefly business men, testified in pro- hate court today in the hearing for the appointment of a conservator for the estate of Mrs. Lucinda Treat God dard, the aged woman who married Charles R. Goddard, a twenty-one- year-old Yale student. They were put on by the defense to show that deal ings they had had with Mrs. Goddard had been rational so fa- as Mrs. God dard's part in them was concerned.
 Quite a. sensation was sprung by F. F. Street, a retired Hartford insur- aIce man. who was one of the wit nesses. He stated that Edwin Treat, son of Mrs. Goddard. worked in his office 13 years ago and intimated in the strongest terms that he deliber- ately stole his business from him dur ing a long siege of illness he experienced. during much of which time he had to stay under the influence of opiates- As Treat was in charge of his affairs in the office during his sickness he planes him for letting his clientage slip away from him into the hands of rivals.
 Street also related an unsavory incl dent that he said occurred in his of- flee several years ago. resulting in voting Treats wife skipping her aged mother-in-law in the face, showing that family relations, at best. had been somewhat strained.

RAILROADS
 MOTIVE IN NEW
 STOCK ISSUE

Back of the unexpected decision of the directors of the New York. New Haven & Hartford railroad to increase the roads capital by S50.000. 900 instead of by only $40 O00. 600. as was originally announced in the call for the meeting held last Wednesday, but at which the larger increase was voted. was the be- lief on the part of influential directors of the road that congressional regu- lation of stock issues by railroads is probable.
 Federal control of railroad stock is sues has long been a matter of public discussion. but the action of the New Haven shows that some of the most powerful financial interests in the country have come to look upon the agitation for this change as likely, in the near future. to find expression in law says the New York Times.
 The New Haven management. it is learned. felt for this reason that it was wise to have legally issued as much stock as could reasonably be provided for. at this time. and while holding it in the roads treasury to have this stock actually issued and paid for. thus putting 1t beyond the reach of any reg ulation limiting further issues of stocks by interstate carriers

WAS SHE KIDNAPPED?
Especial from United Press.)

Special from United Press)
 LOS Angeles. Nov. Was Senorita Teresa Villerial, sister of Antonio Vil- lerial, Mexican Revolutionist now in prison at F7orenz. Ariz., Kidnapped and taken over the American border into for protest against the Diaz rule in Mexico?
 This is the question the Senorita's friends here are asking today since they received word that she and her father were locked in prison at Torion, Mexico. They all agree that she was kidnapped.
 They declare that the Mexican gov ernment would like to have her out of the way because of her efforts in be- half of the Revolutionists. and they do not believe she entered Mexico of her own volition. Miss Ethel Dolzen, one of Senorita Villerials closest friends, said today:
 Both Teresa Villerial and her fa- ther were taken while on their way to join the revolutionary faction at Mon- terey, according to the news contained in Fl Nuevue published to Torion."
 Friends of the Villerials on this side of the line however are strongly Of the opinion that they were not in Mexico when the soldiers of Diaz seized them, but in Texas near the border.
 Only two weeks ago Andra, sister of Teresa, wrote to a friend in Los An geles from Wilcox, Ariz., saying that Tex, but there was nothing to indi- cate any intention of going over the border. On the other hand she and Teresa have many times declared they would not go back to Mexico under Diaz' rule.

 The act charged constituted a separate and complete offense commit ed in open and brazen disobedience of the expressed commands of the courts"
 Justice Van Orsden carefully avoids any reference to the plea of the labor leaders that conviction of contempt in the case constituted an abridgement of their constitutional rights for free speech and free press. upon which Justice Shepard based his dissention.
