PAULINE WAYNE
 HAS BULL CALF
 AT WHITE HOUSE
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, Nov. 8-Pauline Wayne, the White House COW. today presented the administration with bull calf. At the White House it was declared that the event was without political signifi- canoe and that the arrival of the bull on election day was a mere coinci- dence.
 "He certainly am a whopper," said John Scott, the negro in charge of Pauline. '1 spects he weighs about a hundred pounds, and 75 pounder is a big 'un.''
 It was reported about town that the bull was to be called Governor Stim- son., but the President had promised him to W. W. Price, one of the White House newspaper men. and Price de- clared that he would be called "Big Bill"
 Something like national interest was taken in the event. From Pauline'S home, in Wisconsin. where she former ly resided on the farm of Senator Ste phensOn, before she was presented to the President, many anxious inquiries have come and the glad news was flashed by wire today.
 A telegraphic bulletin was rushed to President Taft who is in Cincinnati, O., announcing the arrival of the young g bull.

ELMORE GRIFFIN SAID
 TO BE ALIVE
Police Making Lively Hunt For Mysterious Woman in Chicago, Today
Detectives Claim, That They Have Planted" Her Near the Windy City
Special from United Press1

Special from United Press)
 Chicago, Nov. 8.-Positive informa- tion that Belle Fillmore Crippen is alive and somewhere about Chicago is turn ing up so fast today that the police believe Mrs. Crippen must have four or five doubles" or moves every few hours. If 1t is proven, however, that the woman, for whose murder Dr. H. H. Crippen is now in the shadow of the gallows, in London, is alive. her return from among the missing isn't being overlooked and will be commer- cialized to the limit. Attorney Rob- ert Cantwell and Jack Curley, the wrestling promoter. said today that they had Mrs. Crippen planted near Chicago, and when the time came, would bring her forth. Curley thought 1t would be a great thing to produce the missing woman just in time to save her husbands neck. and did not think there would be a theatre big enough in Chicago to hold the crowds she would attract. Incidentally, Mrs. Crippen will probably show up with mental defect", according to Curley.
 Both Curley and Cantwell at first de- claims of Attorney Tobin, of Phila- delphia, that Mrs. Crippen was alive. Curley expects to be in Chicago today or tomorrow.
 It was pointed out to Curley that some time ago a story was current here that an English woman was being drilled to come forth as Mrs. Crippen, produce some of the supposedly dead actress dances and pose as the mur- dered woman. Curley was then asked if his Mrs. Crippen had a scar such as was described in the Crippen trial.
 We won't have to show the scar. All we will need to show is her mug" he replied. Curley said he first be- came interested in the case while in London, with George Hackenschmidt, the wrestler, who knew Mrs. Crippen.
 Hammond, Ind. has also found Mrs. Crippen, according to reports today. Various storekeepers and hoboes have been attracted by "lonely looking, well dressed woman" who has been seen about the public library during the past week.
 Mrs. E. Grannis, wife of a we'll known grain dealer of Chicago, report ed that yesterday she found a note in a telephone booth of a local hotel, which read: Belle Elmore-Dr. Grip pens wife-is in a boarding house near the public library, in Hammond, Ind"
 Before the finding of the note in the booth, stylishly dressed woman had been using the telephone, but no one knew who she was.

A SUICIDE WIFE MAY ALSO DIE; SON
 HAS CHANCE FOR LIFE
Husband Found Dead By Wife In Room Filled With Gas Fumes; Wife and Son Who Went to Aid of Vic tim Overcome By Deadly Poison and Rushed to HospitalCause of Suicide Unknown

Hans P. Peterson, of 1518 Pembroke street, Is dead; his wife Caroline is at the Bridgeport hospital with her son Howard, aged 10 years, with the chances against her recovery, while the boy has a good fighting chance to live.
 Peterson was journeyr1an steam filter employed by the Singer Mfg. Co.,, and resided with his wife and son in a tenement house at the number given in the foregoing.
 An ambulance call about 1 o'clock summoned Dr. H. H. Bennett, who saw at glance that Peterson had been dead for some hours. In the same room still filled with the sickening gas fumes lay the unconscious forms of mother and son.
 They had gone to the aid of the head of the family and were overcome and lay nigh unto death. Dr. Ben- nett gave quick succor to the living and hurried them to the Bridgeport hospital where at press hour they were still alive
 An aged .vaman residing in the same house in adjoining apartments missed seeing the family about this forenoon,

and knocking at the door received no response. She detected the odor of gas and succeeded in gaining adrnis- sion. Quickly divining the situation she sent in a call for the ambulance. Dr. Bennett after rushing the mother and son to the hospital notified Nedf- cal Examiner Downs who went to ths scene of the tragedy.
 None of the neighbors could throw any light upon the cause which led Peterson to end his life. Whether hs turned on the gas when he retired Iass night or early this morning is not known. How long his wife and son lay unconscious is not known. The fact that they were in the same bed- room gives rise to the belief that they both went to the aid of Peterson as soon as they became aware of his fn- tention.
 The theory that perhaps the father and mother agreed to die together and took their boy in the same room that he might die with them, is secuted by the neighbors who say that undoubfed- ly the finding of the unconscious forms or mother and son in the same room IS explained by their attempt to assist the victim and in doing so were over- come.

If Judge Baldwin fails to carry Bridgeport in the final count-up to- night, his defeat will be due to the Socialist vote, which is entirely an unknown quantity this election and which neither of the major parties can gauge. On the other hand all the probabilities indicate much larger defections from the Republican ranks rather than the Democratics.

BUMPER TOBACCO
 CROP THIS YEAR
Best in Many Years in This State Large, Leafy, Solid
 and Perfect.
HARVESTING HAS BEGUN
New Method of Picking Leaves Be
 Believed Past.

The Connecticut tobacco crop, es- pecially that throughout East Hart ford and South Windsor, is described as among the best in many years past.
 The crop. is stated to be Ieafy and weight next winter, should good weather accompany it while in the curing barns. The leaves are sound, free from worm holes or punctures by .grasshoppers CT insects and are of fine quality, save for an occasional plant. with calico or gray top. In a few fields there are signs of little rust, but the amount is barely worth mention.
 In the section visited the variety is entirely broad leaf, no Havana or Cuban. The harvesting started about five or six days ago and the method is almost entirely that of cutting the stalk by a saw or hatchet at the butt of the plant then spearing the stalk and lathihg 1t.
 The new method of picking the leaves is Beginning to come in, but as yet there are few farmers in that sec tion who practice 1t. In several of the sections in the tobacco belt on the west side of the Connecticut river the method is followed almost to the exclusion of the older fashion. The new method is known as "priming," !" and is in the long run more profit able, although for the time being it is slow And 1aborfous and entails more expense.
 The acreage in these towns is about the same as it was a year ago. It is shade less than it was three years ago, when high water mark was reached among the tobacco growers. A couple of seasons of poor prices, al- though the buyers end the American Tobacco Company were making money by the buehsi, discouraged growers, and @ number used small fraction of their acreage for other purposes This was the ease in East Hartford more then in the other towns, inasmuch as the opportunity for raising produce for the city mar ket was more promising there than in others.
 The great peril which farmers fear at this stage of the crop is believed to be past, that of hail. It is rare that a hailstorm comas after August is half over. According to the late William F. Andross, one of the best experts on the crop who ever wrote, the majority of the haiistorms in this part of the Connecticut valley came between July 15 and August 15, few after the latter date.

ADVERTISING THE < OLD COUNTY FAIR How Modern Methods Have Replaced the Prize Bull as
 a Medium

Although thousands of city men have still their precious two weeks of summer vacation to look forward to. the first signs of fall are already in the air. Occasionally the motorist will see bit of goldenrod, the sure presager of autumn, beside the road; the canoefst coming suddenly around a turn in some little mountain lake, sees Q scarlet maple flaring red in pre-autumn celoring; early potatoes are being dug on the hilsidea: while the corn is already on stack on many farm.
 But to tie humorfst the sursst sign of all lies in the state and ccuntry faar posters which Afe now blossom ing by thousands on every billboard, on every fepce rsai, aad on every de- serted gray barn. Fer, to the eye of one who Knows, the sAudy pie lures of the glorious. fat roosters, the races as have never been on land or sea; the Autographs of countless thousands gHking spelBound at a soaring aeroplane mean but one thing, the coming of the great New Eng land country fair.
 as the case may be-, has singular appeal to the people of Connecticut and the other New England states; for not only has it the stamp of home manufacture; not only is it an instf- tuition organized and supported by the people themselves-and beloved for that reason-but, also, so deeply is the love of the farm ingrained in the New England character that not man of Connecticut, no matter how citified, can catch a glimpse of the blazing posters without a thrill of the genuine love of the soil.
 But these posters, appearing on every side as if by magic have an in- terestins story, all in themselves, and a chance interview gained by re- was experimenting the work of plac- ing the posters, in this district, for the Connecticut fair which is to be held at Charter Oak Park, Hartford, bor Day-showed that the pictures que old country fair has, in these days, all the science of the modern circus.
 No longer can the benevolent gen. uemen farmers who superintend the management of the great fair depend on word of mouth, passed around the country. CT on a few chance posters, or on a prize bull, driven through the streets, to announce the coming of the event but recourse is had to system of advertising which takes months in preparation and which re- quires the attention of men who do nothing else but make announce ments to the public.
 A. set of maps such as would be used in planning a military campaign is kept at the office SO that at a glance, the manager can tell,s to within a few sheets, just where his posters are placed In addition to this, there is all the regular adver- Using which goes through the news papers, all the cuts and Autographs and all the special advertising ar ranged by such head-liners as the Wright Brothers; so that, whom the reader catches glimpse of the next Connecticut fair poster, on the street corner, he can have some idea of the system which lies behind it.
