While Halley's comet has been iden-
tilted as n member OF our system for
over 1000 years, certain characteris-
tics OF It's orbit lead us to believe that
II has been with us at least ten or
perhaps 100 times as long as that.
According to all accounts, II was a
magnificent object at the time OF the
Norman conquest In 1905. Its head
was equal TO the full moon In sire.

MEYER EFFECTS ECONOMIES
Reduces Coal and Oil Consumption
and Cost OF Repairs on Battieshlps

Washington, May PA virtual re-
oganization of navy expenditures has
been made by Secretary Meyer in the
year during which he has held the
portfolio of the Navy Department. He
is credited with effecting a saving
of money in many directions. Many
OF the changes inaugurated by him
are the result. direct or indirect of
suggestions, offered at his request by
officers In all parts Of the naval ser
vice.
Saving OF coal has been accom-
pished by systematic firing economy
OF steam, replacing defective joints
and journals and stopping leaky val
yes. On the Montana a saving OF
fifteen tons OF coal daily is due to this
retrenchment The saving in oil con-
sumption has been as great. On the
battleship Georgia improved evapora-
tors have reduced the cost OF making
fresh water 40 per cent.
Secretary Meyers organization
pans include the systematic overhaul
Ing OF vessels at the ship yards after
each cruise. This permits the con-
tinuous employment of expert mach
inists, many OF whom formerly would
be dismissed after a piece OF work
was done and would not be ready to
return when again needed.
A saving OF thousandsof dollars in
repair work has also been effected by
installing repair shops on shipboard.
The establishment of school marine
Engineering at Annapolis is another
means whereby Secretary Meyer
hopes to train for special work engin-
eer officers who show aptitude to be
of value in some part OF his reorgan-
ization scheme.

SAVED BY THE KING.

An Incident In the Career Of Holbein,
the Painter.
There happened an affair In England
which might have been fatal to Hol-
bein II the king had not protected him.
On the report Of his character noble
man Of the first quality wanted one
day to see him when he was drawing
a figure after the life. Holbein In an
swer begged l1s lordship to defer the
honor of his visit to another day,
which the nobleman took for an ar
front. lie broke open the door and
very rudely went upstairs. Holbein,
hearing the noise. left his chamber
and, meeting the lord at his door, fen
into a violent passion and pushed him
backward from the top Of the stairs to
the bottom.
Considering, however, Immediately
what he had done. he escaped from
the tumult he had raised and made the
best Of his way to the king. The no
bleman, much hurt. though not so
much as he pretended. was there soon
after him. and upon opening his griey-
ance the king ordered Holbein to ask
pardon for his offense. But this only
irritated the nobleman the more, wlso
would not be satisfied with less than
his life. upon which the king sternly
, replied:
MY lord. you have not now to do
with Holbeln. but with me. Whatever
punishment you may contriye by way
OF revenge against him shall assuredly
be INFLICTED upon yourself. Remember,
pray, my lord, that l can whenever l
please make seven lords Of seven plow-
men. but | cannot make one Holbein
even OF seven lords. Life OF Hol-

RECORD IN DIVORCE
 COURT; TEN DEGREES
 GRANTED AT SITTING

A record for the year was estab- lished in the Superior Court, yester- day, when the uncontested divorce cases were heard, and the same num- Der granted. Nine of the decrees were allowed by Judge Ralph Wheeler who is sitting in the special session of the court, and the tenth by Judge How ard J. Curtis in the regular session.
 Six of the divorces were granted dur ing the morning session and were men, toned in yesterdays Farmer. The four granted yesterday afternoon were:
 Mary E.. Dillabough, of stratford avenue was granted a decree from Edward H. Dillabough of Fulton, N. Y., on the ground of intemperance. The plaintiff before her marriage in November 1882 was Mary Fleming.
 Intemperance was also the ground on which Annie B. Gray of this city was given a decree from Harry E.. Gray, also of this city. Mrs. Gray was Miss Anna B. Schoonmaker before her marriage in January, 1907. Soon after the marriage Gray developed Vii cious habits by reason of drink, and abused his wife shamefully.
 Intemperance figured in another se- paration that of Mary Beach Knapp of Danbury and Isaac B. Knapp of this city. Their marriage was in July 1896. Mrs. Knapp showed to the court that her husband had been habitually incorporate for more than three years.
 Of the full ten cases of the day only one was brought on the ground of infidelity that of George w. But ton of Norwalk, against his wife Etta V. Knapp Button of the same place. The couple were married May IT, 1903, and Herbert Wheeler and John Webb of Norwalk are named as co-respOn- dents.

FINDS l75 PERSONS
 NOT ENUMERATED
President Enos to Increase Board of Trade Census
 Takers at Once
Registrar of Voters Rooney Hears of Many Instances Where Federal Inquis-
 itors Failed

The Bridgeport Board of Trade, dissatisfied with the results shown by the census enumerators, and con- vinced that many persons have not been counted, some days ago quietly put two enumerators at work on it's own account This morning these enumerators had already reported 175 persons missed by the official emu merators. President Enos said this morning that two more enumerators will be put to work at once.
 President Enos also said that the Board of Trades desires all residents of the city shall aid in the work. The full census will show that Bridgeport is the second city in size in the state. He said that it means a great deal to the city to be able to show a large population and he hopes that every one will do his best to help the board. In case any names are found the board requests that the information be telephoned to No. 95, or that a postal card, or letter, be sent to the Board of Trade. There is only few days left in which the board can work.
 The Board of Trade is willing to spend much money to make the emu meration complete. At the plant of the Whiting Mfg. Go. alone 39 names were found that had not been placed on the census list. A skilled emu merator took this list and on visiting the homes of the men mentioned was able to increase the population 68. Tn another plant there were 1 5 names found that had not been taken and the rest of the 175 names were pick ed up Scatteringly.
 This morning a Farmer reporter talked with General Registrar James H. Rooney. The latter, with Regis trar Lounsbury, has just completed the listing of voters in the 3rd, 5th, and 9th districts. For many years MT. Rooney has canvassed the city ss a registrar.
 There is no better authority on the population of the city than Registrar of Voters J. H. Rooney. He said, 'I have run across many people whom the census takers skipped, particular ly in the West End. In that section of the West End lying south of the railroad tracks there are 1000 people, but only about 300 voters reside there. The government estimates five people to every voter, but it can be seen that the rule does not apply in this section. Many hundreds or men live in boarding houses. The women who keep boarding houses in this section were given a scare by a false story which was circulated when the enum- orator was at work. They were told that they were going to be taxed g for every boarder in their houses. The natural consequence was that they did not divulge the identity of all their boarders.
 Another thing was that the one man assigned to take the 1000 people in this district made himself very un- popular in some quarters. The spe- cial agent who laid out the city in enumeration districts gave this section south of the track to one enumera- tor, while it should have been divided among three men. These foreign peo- pie are very reticent about giving in- formation to strangers and one man who could take 1000 names in the 15 days allotted would have to travel fast"

GUILTY SUGAR TRUST MEN ON
 SUMMER STAY
Sentence Will Not Be I'm posed on Eeike and Ger bracht Till August 30 Two Others Get Three Months and Bendernagel Goes on His Own Rec
 Ognizance
Especial from United Press.

New York, June 11.-Sentence will be imposed on Charles R. Heike, sec retary of the sugar trust and Ernest w. Gerbracht, former superintendent of its Williamsburg refinery, on August 30. When they were arraign- eral court today following the ver- dict of guilty of conspiracy to de- fraud the government last night the request of their counsel for an arrest of Judgment was granted by Judge Martin.
 Both men were permitted to go on their former bail bond of S1O,0OO un- til next Wednesday when they will have to furnish a new bond of s2O,- 900 each. Before they appear for sentence on August 30 it is expected that their counsel will have perfected plans for appealing the case.
 James F. Bendernagel, regarding whose guilt a jury twice disagreed, was allowed to go on his own re- cognizance and his personal bond of s5,0OO. It is not expected that he will be tried again.
 Former Assistant Superintendent Harry W. Walker and James F. Halli- gan, Jr., a former checker on the sugar docks, who entered pleas of guilty, were given three months each on BlackwelPs Island. Jean Voe1ker the aged checker, who also entered a plea of guilty, was released on a sus- pended sentence, Prosecutor Stimson urging this on the grounds that the old man has only a few more months to live

WHISKY SEIZED IN
 GROCERY LICENSED
 TO SELL ONLY BEER
Woman Causes Husband to Be Barred from Buying
 Drink

Edward Noonan of 134 Reservoir ave. nue, an employe at Schleichert's nur- series at 34 Reservoir avenue, entered the class of habitual tipplers, and Mrs Mary Pelchert. a store keeper at 61 Trumbull Road, suffered the loss to- day of $50 worth of choice liquors as a result of the complaint to Prosecut- ing Liquor Agent Merritt of Mrs. Noo- nan.
 She told the prosecutor her husband spent most of his time and much ot his earnings drinking rum at Mrs Peichert's. Mrs. Peichert paid s2O( for a beer license. under which she may sell ale. lager, Rhine wine and cider.
 When Mrs. Noonan said her husband bought New England rum in Mrs Peichert's, Liquor Agent Wagner was sent to investigate. This noon the patrol wagon careened down from Res ervoir avenue laden with a cargo of choice whiSkeys which were promptly locked in padded cell at police head quarters awaiting an order of the court for their destruction.
 Mrs. Peichert was served with a. mo- tice instructing her to refuse to sell drink to Noonan under penalty of prosecution.
 Mrs. Peichert was arrested charged with violation of the excise law.
