MISSIONARY HELD
 AS FIREBUG, MORE
 ARRESTS EXPECTED
Startling Developments in Police Investigation of
 Mysterious Shooting
Hadad's Alleged Accomplice Held in Bail of $3, ,000-Is Prominent New Haven
 Merchant

Ameen Sliby, head of the United Syrian Christians Missions of Connec- ticut, was arraigned in the city court today charged with attempt to com init arson. Sliby's arrest in New Ha- ven yesterday is one of several steps taken by the police in their investiga- tion into the mysterious occurrences at the store of Nicholas Smith, Syr- ian merchant at 203O Main St.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Red bail when the New Haven merchant was brought before Judge Wilder of the city court today. He outlined a startling plot which he said he ex- pected to prove had been formed be- tween Sliby, James Hadad, and others, to destroy the store of Nicholas Smith by fire.
 Sliby was once in partnership with Nicholas Smith, the two conducting a small dry goods and notion store op- posite police headquarters. Business proved slack, the partnership appar- ently dissolved and Smith removed the effects to the Main street location while Sliby went to New Haven.
 Early Thursday morning Police Ser geant O'Leary and Patrolman Dooley broke into the Main street store, neighbors calling them in fearing someone was being asphyxiated. They found James Hadad, 19, a Syrian of Wi1limantic, in the store. Armed with two costly pistols, a dirk and loaded with ammunition, he tried to shoot the police sergeant, and but for the timely use of a club on his hand by Patrolman Dooley he might have suc- ceeded. Two bullets missed fire and the third misdirected by the police mans club, went through the floor.
 Hadad claimed he had come here to visit Nicholas Smith. the store keeper, and finding the place unlocked, he sup posed Smith was about to return, so he went in to await his homecoming. A two gallon can of benZine was found spilled about the place when the police investigated. and the girl left in charge by Smith declared no such thing was in the place when she lock- ed the store the night before.
 Hadad disclaimed all knowledge of the can and its contents. He asked permission of the police to write a let ter on Saturday, and he penned it in Syrian. believing no doubt that the police would not take the trouble to translate it. The letter was address ed to Ameen Sliby, and on the strength of the contents, which the police secur- ed before they allowed it to be mailed Prosecutor Redden issued warrant, charging Ameen with attempted ar son.
 MT. Redden is collecting evidence to show that Ameen Sliby and others con- spired to burn the store of Smith. The latter has been strangely missing since last Tuesday morning when he told a girl he left in charge he was going

to New York on business. The build ing is owned by John C1ampett and John Ryburn. The contents. the pO- lice say, were heavily insured, and Smith, the proprietor, had been remov- ing the most valuab1 eof them for sev- eral weeks, little at a time Hadad helped him out in the moving, they claim.
 In connection with the arrest by the New Haven police of Ameen Sliby, yes terday, the local police made another arrest in their investigation S1iby's see Hadad. He appeared to be ex- tremely anxious to converse with him. His conduct was such that the jailers became suspicious and held him until Policemen James Burns and I.add could reach the jail to place him un- court today but held as a suspicious character
 Bali was fixed in the case of Hadad last week at $10,000. He was charged with attempted murder and burglary. Today Attorney c. H. Shapiro appear ed for Hadad and asked reduction Of bail. Attorney Thomas of New Haven made similar request on be- half of Sliby, whose bail had been fix ed at $5, ,0OO
 Judge Wilder consented to reduce the bail of Hadad to s5,00O and that of Sliby to $3,OO0. Attorney Thomas in- timated that Sliby believed Hadad wrote the letter leading to Sliby's ar rest to throw the police off the track. Ameen Sliby is 39 years old. His brother is 25. The latter lives at IS Washington avenue, New Haven Ha- dad claims to have been a peddler in Mexico, where he learned to go arm ed as he was when the police captured him. and later to have been a mill hand at Willimantic

NO TRANSFER
 FOR COONEY
Application of Matthias Ocko Granted by Com
 missioners

The County Commissioners have re- fused the application for the transfer of the license of Daniel Cooney, from PAT Hal1am street to Bishop and Con necticut avenues. the applicant being notified of the decision this morning. The transfer was objected to by the Whiting Manufacturing Co.,, Henkels Lace O., American Lacquer Co.,. E. H. H. Smith Silver Co.,, and many other manufacturers in that locality who object to the transfer on the ground that it was a detriment to their in tereStS.
 The Commissioners granted the ap- plication of Matthias Ocko for change of his license from Cannon street to Arctic and Pembroke streets. The objection to this application was that there were already too many saloons in the neighborhood.
 Judge Edward K. Nicholson counsel for the Law Enforcement League. act ing as a taxpayer. heads a remon- strance against the application of An tonic Fraenza for a transfer of the license at 8 South avenue to 40 East Main at Nichols street. The remon- strants say that the proposed saloon is unsuitable as it is on the opposite corner to the Point Union Mission.
 A remonstrance was also filed today against the application of Abraham Kraut for the transfer of the license StiIlman and HfaIlett streets. The re- monstrance is brought on three grounds, unsuitability of applicant, un- suitability of place. and because there are already too many saloons in the ueighborhood. Kraut is the owner of fhe building in which the saloon is now located.

Cleveland, June 27.-Former Secre- tary of the Interior James R. Gar field, just returned from New York where he and ex-Forester Clifford Pinchot have visited with Colonel Roosevelt, today submitted to an in terview on the work in this session of the Congress and the so-called in surgent Republicans in Congress.
 How has the cause of conserva- tion faired at the hands of Congress ?'' he was asked. '"The provision separ- ating the coal from the surface is ad- mirable, being exactly what we have fought for the past several years. The withdrawal bill is not in as good shape as when it left the Senate Committee. We did not think that the bill is nec- Iessary, believing that the Executive lhas full power to protect the public domain. But as President Taft want ed such a bill it was well enough to have it. The bill by MT. Ballinger was wholly inadequate and did not meet the situation; The bill offered by the National Conservation Asso- citation as a substitute was adopted by the committee.
 .'The bill as finally insofar as it deals with withdrawals follows the ad- iministration bill but there has been Injected into it a clause permitting mining claims to be taken up on wa ter power sites. This provision will ibe a constant menace in that without the closest vigilance advantage can be taken of this provision of the law by special interests.
 The good in the bill was put in by the real friends of the conservation inside and outside Of Congress. If they had not made the fight against the original administration bill great injury to conservation would have re- suited and the public domain would

ABANDONED BABE
 STORY TOLD M~ NEW HAVEN COURT
Special from United Press.>


 New Haven, June 27.-The police be- lieve today that they have heard the last word in the miserable story of the abandonment of the three weeks old infant which was found in a state room of the steamer Richard Peck on it's arrival in New York last Thurs day. In court today after the trial of men and women implicated in the abandonment had been postponed un- til next Saturday, a detective who had worked on the case told the story he had received from the mother of the child, Matilda Asmus. According to her narrative an enemy had compelled Angelo Nanone, the alleged father of the abandoned babe, to make money payment for her disgrace. The fam fly then decided to place the infant in some New York institution and Vera Moran, one of the prisoners, was commissioned to take the child to New York. Arthur Asmus, father of Matil- da, accompanied the Moran woman to the Peck, so the story goes, purchas- ed her ticket and returned to his home. It seems that the Moran woman got frightened and abandoned the infant before the boat left the dock in New Haven.
 The police of New York are wonder ing what disposition to make of the baby.

FAIRFIELD OIL COLONY BORN OF
 WEDDING TRIP
Some "Reminiscences of Wis it's of Richest Man in the
 World to Bridgeport

The visit of John D. Rockefeller to Dr. l. DeVer Warner, at the home of the latter, in this city, Saturday, has brought recollection of two other vis- its of MT. Rockefeller to Bridgeport or it's immediate vicinity The first was on the occasion of his wedding trip when he passed through to Fair field, to become the guest of the father of O. G. Jennings, whose man sion at the top of Greenfield Hill, overlooks the country for miles around.
 At this time many Fairfield people became interested in Standard oil, which had not yet became an "octo- pus, and the beginning of the Stan dard Oil colony in the ancient revo- lut1onary town dates back to this visit of MT Rockefeller, during his honeymoon.
 The second visit made by the rich est man in the world, although he was not at the time so, was about 40 years ago. He had just completed his home in Cleveland, and came to this city solely to buy furniture for it, of Hubbell & Curtis.
 During his more recent visit MT. Rockefeller said that in his home in Tarrytown is some of the furniture that he bought in Bridgeport at the time referred to.
 It appears that Dr. Warner and MT. Rockefeller have beautiful ad- joining estates near Augusta, Ga, and that Saturday was not the first oc- caSiOn upon which the wealthy oil man and the wealthy corset manu- facturer have played golf together.

COUNTRY OWES DEBT OF GRATITUDE, GARFIELD
 SAYS, ID INSURGENTS
Former Secretary of Interior Claims They Have Ad- vanced the Cause of Government for All the People As Against Special Interests During Session of Congress Just Closed

have been opened to the land grab ber.''
 What is your opinion of the rail- road bill as finally DaSsed?"
 'The rate bill as passed did not at all meet the need of the country. It ought not to have been passed in it's original form. The country owes a debt of gratitude to such men as Cum mins, Clapp, Deliver, LaFollette, Bev- eridge and those who, with them, com pelled the amendment of the original bill and inserted in it clauses that are of direct benefit to the people of the country.
 'The cause of se1f-government or government for all of us rather than for few special interests has un- doubtedly been advanced during this session and the insurgents, so-called, in both the House and the Senate are the ones to whom all the credit be- logs"
 .'What effect will the insurgency of these, men have on the Republican party and upon their own standing as party men?
 ''These men have been and still are Republicans. They cannot be driven for and fight for true Republican gov ernment"
 Isn't there danger that this insur- gency business will develop section al spirit in the party and in the na- tion?'
 By no means. On the contrary it has united men of New England. like Gardner, with the men of the middle west like Madison, and they have found a common interest with Poindexter, the insurgent of the far northwest. California can certainly join WiscOn- sin in the insurgency for no matter how varied the forms it may take it is. in the last analysis, merely a straight-out fight against the rule of the party and the rule of the nation by special interests"
