INFLUENCES a
LOCAL CITY ELECTION

Washington, n. j., July 26.-With
the state holding club over it to in
fluence the result, the town of Wash
ington is today holding a special
election to determine whether the
town shall spend 100000 for the con-
struction of a sewage disposal plant
or not. The state says If the town
doesn't adopt the proposition 1t will
at once bring suit against the town
for polluting the Shabbecong creek.
individuals who are guilty will also
be sued, according to letter recently
received by Mayor Smith from the
state board.
Why the state should issue a threat
in advance is the question asked
on every side. The townspeople say
that If the state board wants to sue
let it sue in the event of the improve
ment being turned down, but 1t is
overstepping all bounds when it tries
TO influence the vote of the citizens
i'm advance. 1t is the grestest case
of coercion on a large scale. say the
prominent men here, that ever was
the accompaniment OF an election.
The letter of the state board says
that legal steps against the town and
individuals are deferred because Of
the coming election, with the UNDER
standing that the majority of voters
were in favor of the proposed i'm
pr0vement.

VISIT FROM MINISTER

Minneapolis.-Rev G.. l.. Morrill,, a
local preacher, yesterday called on
James j. Jeffries, the heavyweight
champion, who is appearing this week
at an amusement park. When the
minister was introduced to him, the
fighter said:
you are welcome, but not any
more because you are minister"
Morrill, said he did not think n
minister any better than anybody
else. just because he is a minister. The
fighter told the preacher that there
are just as many good people outside
the church as are in. The minister
replied he didn't know but what he
was right.
why in thunder don't you preach
ers say something about a mans body
as well as his soul?" asked the fight
er. How is man going to save his
soul when his liver is out of order"
Morrill, promised the fighter he
would appear on the platform with
him tomorrow afternoon.

Before the building collapsed, Da-

from the raft when it finally broke
up, he was set adrift in the gulf.
Searching about for debris to cling
to he saw his cork legs floating with
the current and seized them. With
these as supports under his arms, he
swan back into the bay and was
carried by the tides into Galveston up
per bay thirty miles from where the
pier collapsed. Later he was picked

ing with matches in a tent on his
fathers hay ranch near Wingville lit

gathering up some hay and sticks.
the older boy made a fire under the
bed in the tent. The flames scared
Lelond watched them until they had
spread so as to shut him off from es-
cape by the tent door from which
they barred him.
The smoke from the fire attracted
the attention of his older sister, who
rushed to the chllds help. The tent
at the rear however, had been stalk
ed down so tightly on account Of mo-
squitOs 1t was impossible to free the
little fellow until after he had burn
ed about the face, shoulders, head
and hands.
Medical attention was immeditely
secured and the child given the best
of care Last night, however, his con-
dition was said to, be almost critical
and it was feared that he might not
recover.

SPANISH PRISONER
SWINDIING SCHEME REVIVED

Chicago.-Revival of the Spanish
prisoner swindle schemes of several
years ago has resulted in the post
office department making special ef-
forts to warn possible victims.
A case that has resulted in dozens
of complaints is one in which Rus
sian banker is represented to be in
prison in Madrid, Spain, a victim of a
plot to rob him and his daughter of
their fortune. Hundreds of letters,
purporting to be written with a pen,
which the authorities say are print
ed have passed through the mails in
Chicago and many have been turned
over to the postoffice inspectors. They
purport to be from A. Belavsky, the
imprisoned banker.
The letters appeal for help in OBJ
tanning $4,000 which Beliavsky
claims to be due him and his daugh-
ter, promising s160,0O0 of the money
to the person to whom the letter is
sent as reward for helping to get
the 1920, 900. In each letter is clip
ping purporting to be found from a
London newspaper, telling of Be
liavsky's imprisonment.

JUDGE FINES HIMSELF
FOR SPEEDING HIS AUTO

Vancouver, B. c., July 26.-Polfce
Magistrate Adolphus Williams sat in
judgment on himself last Saturday
and handed down a decision of con-
viction for speeding his automobile,
contrary to law.
The court had Just disposed of two
cases of similar nature, when his own
name was called. He scanned the
court room for Adolphus Williams.
Then rather meekly he inquired Of
the clerk: "Does the charge refer
to me?"
The prosecutor replied that 1t did
and suggested that the court try HIM
self.
His honor found that he had been
going 10 miles per hour.

FAILS TO SUICIDE AFTER
FORTY-TWO TRIALS

San Francisco.-That Kate Powers
was not born to die of her own hand
is the conviction of the Emergency
hospital staff, who treated the woman
last night after the AID attempt she
she had made on her life during the
past three years. The record estab-
lished by Mrs. Powers is declared to
be without equal. Her favorlte meth
cd Of attempting to end her life Is
the chloroform route, which she has
tried 35 times: four times she has
waded into the ocean, only to be
washed up again, sound as ever, and
thrice she has tried to hang herself
with equally poor results The AID
attempt was as futile as the others
and it is believed that she will aban-
don the chloroform method as fnef-
ficaclous.

NOTED ATHLETES
MEET IN SEATTLE
SOME OF BEST BRAWN OF
WORLD EXPECTED TO COMPETE
Coast Cities Well Represented-Ex-
pected That the New York Athletic
Clubs Will Send Their Best Men
Several Olympic Heroes are Coming.

Seattle, Wash.-The greatest array
o. athletes ever assembled in the West
will participate next month in the an
nual championship games Of the Am
ateur Athletic Union. The champion
ships will be held on August 1S and
Il at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific expo
sition stadium, and will set new
high-water mark for the Pacific coast
In point of attendance and records.
Preliminary dope on the outcome OF
the meet is uncertain at best. The
struggle for first honors will probably
lie between the New York Athletic
Club and the Irish-American club, OF
New York. These two old rivals will
expend every energy to carry off the
palm Of victory. Each Is sending an
array of stars such as never before
visited the coast.
Other Clubs Are Strong.
But with due Difference to the New
York organization, they will have to
travel fast to keep ahead Of clubs In
other parts Of the country. The Chi
cago Athletic Association, better
known in sporting circles as the "Cher-
~ Circle" the olympic Club, OF san
Francisco; the Multnomah Club, OF
Portland, and the Seattle Athletic Club
ALI must be taken into account, and
It is not impossible that one of these
will spring a surprise and capture the
greatest number Of points.
On paper the Irish-American Ath'
letic Club looks to have about tne
strongest bunch. John Flanagan the
veteran hammer-thrower, who set
new worlds record a few days ago
will be out here to show the natives
how the 16-pound missile should be
hurled. Outside Of Melvin Sheppard
Flanagan is probably the brightest Of
the Irish-American Clubs stars

BRAIN HEFuDDLED BY DRINK.
Henry c. Schneider Wants Property
 Back Which He Decided to Son.

Admitting that he was so far under the influence of intoxicafts as not to know what he was doing, Henry C. Schneider, at one time resident Of Seymour, and formerly member of the state board of examining barbers, has brought suit in the court of com mon pleas against his son, Augustus J. Schneider of New Haven, to secure the return of two pieces of land in Seymour, and the barber shop at 245 Water street. New Haven.
 MT. Schneider alleges that he owned a half interest in the Seymour prop erty. The other half was held by his wife. He owned the business. good will and fixtures of the Water street barber shop, he says, and turned them over to his son on February. last, without consideration, he alleges. One paragraph in the writ says of the oc- currence: "On said date and for some days prior thereto the plaintiff had been drinking excessively of intoxfcat- ing liquors and was so far under the influence of liquor on the said Febru- ary 5, 1909, as to be utterly incapable of transacting business or comprehend ing the purpose or import of busi- ess ment."-Ansonia Sentinel.
