Superior Court.

Attorneys Howard Bradford of Put nam, Sabiu 5. Russell of killingly and Huber Clark of Willimantic, were named as committee of the heWindham County Bar Association, at ta meeting held in the law library on Friday, to make arrangements for compliment ary banquet to Judge George w. Wheeler, who soon after finishing the present term of court in Putnam, Is to take his place on the supreme court bench The date of the banquet has not been decided, but will probably be in June.
 Al Fridays short calendar session Judge Wheeler ordered that the re- ward offered by the town of killingiy for information leading to the identity of the person leaving thei week-old ba- by boy on a lawn in Danielson few weeks ago, be equally divided between Winfield Colwell of Danielson and Louis Bastow of Dayville, both em- ployes of the trolley company. Col. we'll gave such information and de- scription of the woman, Mrs. Eva Met ty, now in jail at Brooklyn, who was passenger on his car just before she deserted the child after coming from Providence, that Bastow was able 10 take up the clues that led to her loca- ton and arrest in Providence.
 William l. Jefferson was granted an uncontested divorce from Agnes I. Jef- ferson. The couple were married in Putnam, December 10, 1895, and the date of desertion was January I, 1907. A peculiar circumstance is the fact that Mrs. Jefferson made an unsuccess- ful attempt to secure divorce two years ago.
 The case of Michael Grimshaw of Attawaugsn ys the Town of killingiy, which was assigned for Tuesday, was settled out of court.
 The case of Rev. A. iDeBruycker Of Willimaniic vs Anthony Blum of Bos- ton, was bes un Tuesday. The plain. tiff sues to recover damages of s6,O0O from Blum, at one time general mana ger of the Twentieth Century Mining company, .of whose capital stock Fr. DeBruycker purchased 40s shares in 1903 for s4 ,0ss. The plaintiff alleges that the value of the stock and the standing of the company were falsely represented to him. MT. Blum testi. fled that he personally had no direct dealing with Father DeBruycker, the sale of stock having been conducted by the secretary of the company. He al. so stated that the company was sol vent at all times while he was associa- ted with 1t, he having ended his busi- ness relations with 1t in 1905. Al the session Wednesday morning NIT. Blum was taken violently i'll with acute in- digestion, and for a time his recovery was doubtful. Dr. Houghton and Dr. Russell were called, the latter being with the patient most of the day. The case was postponed to June 10 at Will limantic.

FARMERS TO BOOST MILK
PRICE; COMBINE PLANNED.
New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsyl-
yania and Maryland Involved.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.-Announce-
ment that the farmers will this month
d another Y cent a quart to the
wholesale price of milk, following the
boost in retail prices to 9 cents a quart
and 8 cents a pint by the large dealers,
and that the Philadelphia Milk Ship
pers' Union will be dissolved to make
way for an organization larger in scope
and covering the States OF Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Maryland and Della
ware, were the developments yesterday
in the milk situation.
The producers, who all along have de-
elared there has been no justification
for 9-cent milk when the retail dealers
are paying only Az cents for the prod
uet, say they are going to get a share
of the increased price charged the con-
sumner. and on August Is they will raise
the price to 5 cents a quart. 1t vas the
jump from 4 to 4k cents a quart which,
the dealers say, forced them to put the
price up to 8 cents. Last month the
farmers got 4 cents a quart for their
milk, n In june the prevailing price
was 3h cents a quart.
At the 5-cent rate, which is q cent a
quart increase over what the farmers
got last month, the profits Of the farm
ers will be increased, 1t is said, $4,50(
a day.

CRIPPEN'S WIFE POISONED,
Is THE LATEST THEORY.

LONDON, Aug. ~5.-Scotland Yard de-
t~ectives received information this
morning from Lewis & Burroughs.
chemists, of los Oxford street, only a
few doors from the residence of DR..
H. H.. Crippen, which leads to the be-
lief that the missing Mrs. Crippen,
known on the stage as Belle Gilmore,
was poisoned.
The records of the druggists show
that five grains Of hyoscin, a particu-
larly subtle poison, was purchased from
the chemists January 10. and, accord
ing TO the police, DR.. Crippen signed
the register for the poison, affixing
his full signature. The chemist knew
Crippen and that he had a medical
certificate.
AS a result Of these discoveries an
analysis by expert chemists has been
ordered of the alleged remnants of a
woman's body dug up in the cellar OF
the house the Crippens occupied.
Arthur Newton, Crippen's solicitor. is
positive, however, there is no case
against his client.
On being shown a cable dispatch
which reported that Inspector Dew had
declared that "Crinpen will be a dead
man in two months" Mr.. Newton re-
marked
II can't understand what II means,
unless DR.. Crippen is out of health. ]
certainly do not believe that Dew in
tended to convey the idea that DR.
Crippen will be hanged in two months
That would be impossible, even sup
posing that he should be found guilty
The police court proceedings will lasI
until the middle or the end of October
and IL he is committed his trial cannot
take place before December. l do mo-
believe Dew eyer made such a state,

had no personal interest in them in
any way"
MIR. Sherman said he had heard Moth
ing of the alleged attempt to bride
Senator Gore until the latter's declara-
ton on the floor of the Senate, and no
names were mentioned at that time. I
have endeavored always to show Sena-
tor Gore every consideration. in the
Senate, as he is blind" he said, land 1
think the manly thing for him to have
done, if my name were mentioned in
connection with the McMurray con-
tracts. would have been to have in
formed me of the matter"
Senator Cores sensational declaration
to the Senate, just before adjournment,
that'an attempt had been made to bride
him, was recalled by Mr.. Sherman, as
was the Vice-President's subsequent
appointment of a committee to investi-
gate the charges.
The Vice-President reached Camp
Crag yesterday, where he has sum-
mered with his family for several
years, and last night received frag-
mentary accounts of Senator Cores
charges by wire. A heavy electrical
storm had put the telephone at the
camp out of commission, n ne did
not learn of the details until today.
The bracing mountain air has
greatly benefited the health of both
the Vice-President and Mrs. Sherman.
The latter has about recovered from
her recent illness.
Mr.. Sherman expects to remain at
the camp until Sunday, when he will
return t. Utica to attend to some BUSH
ness matters. He plans to spend as
much time as possible at the camp
during August, and expects TO take the
stump in the West for the Republican
congressional campaign committee late
in the month. opening, probably, in
Illinois. He said he probably would
deal largely with the tariff issue in his
speeches. =
Mr.. Sherman too an optimistic view
of Republican conditions in New York

yICE-PRESIDENT BRANDS
ACCUSATION AS FALSE,

UTICA, N. Y, Aug. 5.-Vice-Presi-
dent Sherman branded as an untruth
today any statement purporting to con-
meet him with a personal interest in
the McMurray Indian land contracts.
Sitting before a blazing log at CAM
Crag on Big Moose Lake where he is
summering with his family Mr.. Sher-
man read carefully the testimony OF
United States Senator Gore before the
special congressional investigating
committee at Muskogee yesterday.
Laying aside the paper, the vice-presi-
dent said:
Il never heard my name mentioned
in connection with the contracts which
were the subject of senator Cores
testimony yesterday. 1 never had any
interest of any kind other than the in
terest which l have for years had in
the welfare of the Indians and which
/ shall ever have in any Indian con-
tract-no personal interest 1 mean.
"The story. so far as my name is
concerned, is without any foundation
whatever. If any person has said ]
had any interest IN this OF n other
Indian contract be has stated what
was not true
Mr.. Sherman said he remembered
having met Mr. Hamon four years ago
during the campaign, when Hamon
called on him at Washington with a
delegation from Oklahoma on a politica,
mission.

PANIC STRICKEN
CONTINUED from First Page.)

Finally a long string of guards ar
rived with lanterns. They took up sta
tions every so many feet and the lights
shone feebly in the gloom. In this
semi-darkness the passengers, men
only. struggled and stumbled toward
the Jersey City station. The women in
the stalled trains were afraid to walk
through the smoke-filled tubes. They
remained on the cars.
By II o'clock many Of them were
rapidly approaching a hysterlcal con-
dition. The smoke was so heavy that
at the Pennsylvania station, almost u
mile from the turnout, the grayish
vapor filled the air. The guards
called that trains were running only
to Cortlandt street, New York, Men
and women who went down In the ele-
vators to ride to Cortlandt street
changed their minds when they saw
the smoke.
At Has o'clock this morning the
service in the tunnels was resumed on

farmer at Warren Corners. N. T., is
lying dangerously wounded from bullets

Frank Ranney, of Buffalo.
The girl and Ranney last evening

Ranney said, and he accused the girl of
attempting to break their engagement
to marry, because of her fondness for a
rival.
Ranney confessed that he then put
his arm around the girls neck and
tried to kiss her. and when she re-
scented his action he shot her first in
the mouth and then through the lung.
After the shooting the girl, afraid to
tell her family, crawled to her room,
where she was found. Ranney drove

DEWs ABSENCE
IS MYSTERY IN
CRIPPEN CASE
No Further Action Expected I'M
til Scotland Yard Detec-
tive Arrives.

QUEBEC, Aug. B.-The continued abb
senee from Quebec of Inspector Dew
added another minor element of mys-
terry to the Crippen case today. 1t is
thought that his wish to escape unwel-
come attention is not of itself sufficient
to account for his trip to Montreal yes
terday n his further journey to
Toronto and Niagara Falls began last
night. Any one of several plans might
be adopted. They could take the doctor
and Miss LIE Neve by rain to st. John,
N. B., or Halifax, N. s., both Canadian
ports, or they might put them aboard a
tug here and transfer them to a liner
at some point agreed upon along the
50o-mile stretch in the st. Lawrence
river between Montreal and the rivers
mouth.
There is also interest today in the
seeming understanding between DIR.
Crtppen n Miss LIE Neve made dur
ing their flight az to what either should
say in the event of their arrest. Ac-
cording to their custodians neither has
been led into saying a single word
about the other.
Judge Anglers, who examined the ae-
cused last Monday, today said that he
expected no further legal action in the
case until Sergeant Mitchell, of Scot
land Yard, arrives from London next
week with the papers applying for the
~extradltions. Mitchell will hand his
papers to Judge Anglers and the pres
ence of the prisoners will not be neces-
sary on this occasion.
Miss LIE Neye is reluctant to receive
any callers. A Church of England
clergyman who visited the jail and
asked to see the girl received from hei
the reply that she did not wish to see
anyone.
Miss LIE Neve received a cablegran
last night from a London paper offering
her $50 for a 1000 word article deserib
ing her ~wanderings In Europe witt
Crippen. After reading 1t with a wal
smile she told the detective whit
brought 1t that she had no reply t,
make.
1t is strongly suspected that Inspector
Dew's mission is to arrang so that hi
may get his prisoners out of the eoun-
try with less publicity than their ar
rival.
Nobody but those Immediately con
~cerned," Dew is quoted as saying, Evil
know upon what steamer we land o.
when We land on the other side"
This has been accepted by the news
paper men as something of a ehalleng
and sc has aroused special interest il
the inspectors immediate doings. l
is supposed there is no engagement il
view now as to the departure.
While the British officers could ru
their prisoners aboard a steamer with
in two miles of the Jail where they ar
now confined and land them in Eng
land, they are determined to escap
publicity.
