 Scattered about the floor were sev- discarded his own clothing in favor of a new outfit selected from Nickel sons finished garments. Mickelson at once notified police headquarters, and the patrolmen were instructed to be on the lookout for anyone seeling the stuff.
 Patro11nen Cody and Larkin found several of the missing garments at a Water street pawn shop. Detectives Hackett and Hall secured a description of the man who had negotiated the loan, and at o'clock found him lounging about a Water street corner, talking with a chance acquaintance. The clothes he wore were identified by Mickelson as some of the stolen gar ments. The remainder of the lost property was found during the fore noon at various loan establishments. Nelson had secured only trihing sums on the garments, and had used the money to buy liquor for himself and hangers-on about the Water street sa- looms.
 Nelson stoutly denied the theft until he was confronted with his own clothes found in the tailoring establishment. Then he burst into tears. Captain Arnold had him locked up to give him 8 chance to become sober before init iating him into the mysteries of the Third Degree.
 Nelson said he was 2s years old, un- married, and lived at 29 Fulton street, Brooklyn. He said he had been in Bridgeport for two days, seeking work as painter, and living in lodging houses.

Positive Identification of the body buried at Lakeview Home early this week, at first believed to be that of the missing Richard Horton, was made through the clothing of the deceased at the morgue of Rourke & Rourke last evening, as that of William Bren- nan, a stevedore.

BAR BANQUETS JUDGE
 GEORGE ". WHEELER
States Attorney Judson Makes Indictment
 of Rule of State by Public Corporations

Eloquent orators vied with one an- other in paying tribute to the sterling worth of Hon. George w. Wheeler, the eminent Bridgeport jurist whose elevation to the Supreme court bench of Connecticut was the occasion of a complimentary Banquet rendered him at the Stratfeld last evening. Judge Wheeler expressed his appreciation of the sentiments that actuated the din- ner, in an address that held his list eners in rapt attention, while the other speakers provoked the ordinar- fly conservative members of the bar to tunwonted enthusiasm by the warmth and force of their oratory.
 The pride and chfvalry of the Fair field county bar was represented at the gathering. Distinguished jurists throughout Southwestern Connecticut gathered to pay tribute to Judge Wheeler. Preceded by reception in the south sun room of the Stratf1eld's attractive colonnade, during which many friendships of years standing were renewed. the banquet was fol- lowed by a feast of wit and oratory the like of which has seldom been recorded in this city.
 The speakers were the toastma ster, Morris B. Beards1ey, whose introduc-

tion of Judge Wheeler proved a most fitting tribute to the notable guest; Judge Wheeler himself. whose inti- mate acquaintance with the mem bers of the bar for many years stood him in good stead in the recounting g of a fund of delightfully."- humorous and kindly anecdotes of the best known figures of the legal profession; Hon. Homer S. Cummings, former mayor of Stamford, Democratic na- tional committeeman, whose scintil- Iating wit and kindly thrusts of jol- Iity made his eloquent effort one of the best of his numerous famous ad- dresses in this city; and Senator Stiles Judson, State Attorney, and candidate of both Democrats and Republicans for reelection to the State senate. Senator Judson's commanding elo- quence never was used to better ad- vantage than last night.
 It was apparent when Judge Wheeler responded to Judge Beard sley's introduction that he was deep ly touched. His voice was unsteady for few moments apparently shak- en with emotion, but he soon recov- cred himself and after his prelimiu- ary remarks launched into his pre- pared speech, 8 splendid effort.
 The speeches of the toastnaster, and the other speakers will be found in full in this issue of the Farmer.

 Because of the failure of any one man to stand more prominently than another, today's convention program was knocked in the head. It had been planned to meet at 1 o'clock, perfect a platform and get down to a candidate. Instead it was decided to postpone a. nomination until tonight. If candidate is not chosen then the convention will go over into, tomor- row.,
 Finding the leaders unable to agree upon candidates to% nominate for the State offices, Charles F. Murphy sent word to Convention Hall at 1:305 D. m. to call the convention to order at 2:15. He told Judge Parker to have the per- manent organization perfected and then adjourn the convention until 8 o'clock tonight.
 At that hour there were only four candidates under consideration, led by. Edward M. Shepard.

 HOUSE PARTY
Special from United Press.l


 Washington, Sept. 30.-After break fast at the White House today, Presi- dent Tafts house party "broke up and the guests departed, announcing that the meetings had been most satisfactory" The final cabinet meet ing was held later in the day. Secre- tary of the Interior kBallinger went to his office with a light step and an air of secrecy, indicating that noth- ing had happened in the official fam fly councils to give him any feeling of perturbation.
 It was generally supposed that Taft had not permitted discussion of the Ballfnger case, having indicated that he had not changed his attitude toward Ballinger. The administra- ton takes the ground that the Bal finger case is with the jury and that this is no time to discuss it.
 Ballinger today named Oscar Law Ter. assistant attorney general and father of the famous tLawler draft of Tafts letter exonerating Ba1linger, as head of the committee to devise methods of economy in his depart ment. Clement s. Ucker, Ba1linger's S chief clerk and Don M. Carr, BalIing- CTS private secretary, will assist LawIer.
