THE FARMER IS THANKFUL

The Farmer desires to express it's thanks to the Bridgeport Standard and to the Bridgeport Morning Telegram, and to their owners and publishers. for the service recently rendered by them to the Farmer, when, by accident in it's press rooon, it was unable to print it's own editions.
 That thousands of Farmer readers have received their favorite newspaper during the past two days usual is due to the kindness of the newspapers and the gentlen1 en referred. to.
 It is gratifying to know that, among newspapers at least. competition is not so keen as to prevent the exhibition of that courtesy and consideration for competitors which is the flower of modern business methods.
 The publication of the Farmer has now been resumed in it's own press room. The publishers of the Telegram and the Standard are assured that the Farmer will gladly reciprocate in kind, should the occasion arise, but never theless hopes that neither of it's con- temporaries will find themselves so unfortunately situated.

New Haven, Oct. 21.-That the State of Connecticut ranks last among the New England States in the pro- a common school education, and that Bridgeport takes 9th place among the Connecticut cities in this respect and 9th place in the proportion of back ward children found in her public schools were some of the interesting g statements made at today's meeting g of the Connecticut State Teachers Association by Leonard F. Ayres of New York City.
 Dr. Ayres is Associate Director of the Department of Child Hygiene of the Russell Sage Foundation, and Schools for Porto Rico. He is in charge of the educational research of the Founda tion and for the past three years has been conducting investiga- tions of the backward children prob lem.

BRUTAL ROBBERY OF YOUNG WOMAN WAS WORK OF CRAZY
 MAN,, POLICE THINK TO-DAY
FralI Girl Knocked Down with Blow from Jimmy and Diamond Ring Torn from Hand---Scap Laid Open and Face Bruised

That the brutal attack and robbery of Miss Clara Rowe11 a stenographer for Harvey Hubbell, Inc. in a dark portion of Colorado avenue just south of Maplewood avenue, last night, was the work not of a highway man but of a crazy man, is the belief of the police founded upon a searching in Vest1gation of the circumstances. Dis covery of the billy with which she was attacked is the only clue thus far forthcoming.
 Miss Powell is a frail. young woman, whose stature readily discIoses her inability to resist a man of ordinary strength. To have robbed her 1t was a waste of time to beat her. That she should have been attacked with a billy, punched in the face and chok- ed, the police believe is an indica- ton of insanity upon the part of her assaflant. Miss Powell was robbed of a $60 diamond ring and a purse containing a small sum.
 Miss Powell is resting comfortably at her home, 748 Maplewood avenue today. She tells a thrilling story of her experience. 'I had just left a girl friend-NGiss Fay-on the way from a moving picture show at Lund's in State street," said she when req lized that a man was following me- I hurried homewards. I had reach ed a dark part of Colorado avenue where there are no lights, about 200 feet before I reached Maplewood ave

JUDGE INVESTIGATES WAY IN WHICH MILLER WAS
 FORCED INTO MARRIAGE

Requesting that the justice of the peace who married Kasel Miller and Fannie F'ein in this city in August, 1908 and that the sheriff who arrested Miller on complaint of Miss Fein, who was about to sue him for breach of promise, be summoned to appear in court and tell what they know of the arrest and nuptiaIs which followed inn media ately, Judge William H. Will Hams in the Superior Court civil side to-day took the papers in the suit, Miller has asked for an annulment Of
 Miller, who resides on East Main street, stated that he had been going with Miss Fein but two weeks, when one day while at work he was arrested on a body writ following a suit for breach of promise, and hailed to police headquarters. Here he was under lock and key for one hour, after which he was escorted to the office of Attorney A. S. Geduldig and there married to Miss Fein by Justice of the Peace Ell the Secretary of States office in Hart ford. fI married her because I was afraid" said Miller. Miller stated that he never promised to marry Miss Fein no money, and feared detention. Since the marriage Mrs. Miller has asked that a Jewish ceremony be performed but the husband has refused. He has never lived with his wife.
 Judge Williams was a little dubious about the circumstances concerning Miller's arrest and subsequent release to marry Miss Fein. He wanted to learn the identity of the sheriff who made the arrest, but Attorney Joseph A. Merva, counsel for Miller, stated that after a diligent search, he was un- able to learn his identity. The court requested him to search further and also to summon Justice of the Peace Lounsbury as witness. Attorney Geduldig who drew up the breach of promise papers, is a law partner of At torney Merva, who represents Miller in the present suit.

ENRACED MOB TAKE CONVICT
 OUT OF JAIL

Especial from United PreSS-)
 Lovin gton, Va, Oct. 21-A mob of 75 nnountaineers, enraged because John Moore, a convicted murderer, had at tempted to escape the electric chair by fastening his crime on "moonshin- ers' entered the jail here early today, took Moore from his cell, and carried him to the mountains. His fate is unknown.
 Moore was convicted of poisoning Frank Howell with strychnine, admin istered in wl1iskey, in order that he might marry his victims wife. In de- lending himself in court, he claimed that Howell had been poisoned by 1noonshiners, in revenge for testimony once given by the former to Federal officers. and which resulted in a ser ies of raids and arrests.
 The nountaineers got into the jail this morning, by pretending they had a prisoner they. wanted locked up. Once inside they took the keys to Moore's cell from the warden, hurried their prisoner out, tied him to a horse and rode off into the mountains.
