AUTO Gets INDIAN
PRINCE IN BAD"
GaekWar of Baroda, in Hired Ma
chine, Held Up at New
Rochelle
ENTIRE PARTY NEAR ARREST
American Host RusheS to Rescue
and Pulls Royalty from
Embarrassment
ENTIRE PARTY NEAR ARREST
Associated Press1

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Gaekwar
of Baroda, absolute ruler of 100000
Indian subjects, has learned for the
first time in his life what it is to be
under arrest. But there will be no
international complications, both be-
cause the Maharajah does not bear a
grudge and because he was released
five minutes after his arrest.
With the Maharanee, the heir ap-
parent and the young Princess Indira
Raj, the potentate was on his way to
call on Herman c. Bumpus of the
American museum of natural history
in his home In New Rochelle Whether
the hired automobile in which the royal
party was making the run was travel
ing at an illegal speed became mat
ter of dispute as soon as the car en-
tered New Rochelle. The chauffeur
said vehemently that he was creeping
along" The New Rochelle policeman
said the car was going twenty-five
miles an hour, so he arrected the East
Indian potentate. A neighbor carried
word to Professor Bumpus, who ar
rived on the scene while the police
we're still arguing as to the advisa-
bility of taking the whole party to the
police station.
The chauffeur with the aid of a long
account of the Maharajah's doings had
not more than half convinced an in
credulous bluecoat that man who
talks English as we'll as I do" could
be an Indian prince, when Professor
Bumpus arrived. The professor soon
succeeded in strengthening out matters
and the Maharajah was released. By
special favor the royal prerogatives
were stretched far enough to cover the
chauffeur, who was allowed to go.

IAssociated pressl

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE authori-
ties of Somerset county, N. j., are try
ing to find out who hated Joseph
Trouvati so bitterly that he crept up
behind the man and fired two bullets
into the back of his head, either one
of which would have been instantly
fatal. Revenge or the simple desire to
kill was evidently the motive, for what
little money the dead man had was
left in his pockets untouched.
Seemingly Trouvati was the most pa
tient of fishermen. The first rays of
yesterdays sun found him on the bank
of the Raritan canal, sitting ON an
old tree, his back resting against a
piling. The sun grew older and its
rays beat down scorchingly on him.
Grasping his fishing rod, its line
dangling in the muddy water, Trouvati
sat motionless. Men in boats passed
and yelled at him: h.t
What ,luck?"
The worst luck Trouvati, g hard
working fellow of 80, upon whom a
young wife and two children depended,
was dead, He had been murdered.
1t was not until o'clock that two
farm hands passed close to Trouvati.
They, too, asked him what luck. No
answer, of course.
Hes asleep" laughed one. The
other shook Trouvati by the shoulder
and found that he was dead. They
summoned the county, authorities, In
cluding the city physician. The latter
found that some one had tiptoed up
behind the fisherman and had sent two
bullets into the back of his head, at
such close range that there were pow
der marks on the scalp.

TEXAS POSTMASTER IS
ASKED To PLAY CUPID
Eastern Girls Are Anxious to Win
Cowboy Husbands and
Live on Ranches

SAN ANTONIO Tex, July 11.-That
the marriages he Is promoting against
his will are made in heaven is the sim
cere wish of Postmaster Stevens of
this city. OF late letters from young
women anxious to find cowboy hus-
bands have been coming in to his office
at the rate of two and three a day.
Some of them are pathetically sincere
and they usually find their way into
the press, advertising expenses being
thus avoided Recently one young
woman admitted that she was 20 and
that she had no great illusions as to
cowboys, her principal object being to
get into the country. OF course she
would grow to like the proper party.
The latest aspirants for cowboy hus-
bands are Miss Julia Schilly and Miss
Lorraine Mccormick, both Of st. Louis.
The former just wants Postmaster
stevens to put her "in communication
with some reliable cowboys" she being
quite capable of making her own selec-
ton afterward Miss Mccormick.
however, goes into considerable detail
and wants Cupid Stevens to manage
the affair. She is just crazy about
ranch life, is not afraid of anything,
has had lots of proposals since. she
was Is, can ride any kind of horse for
hours and will never marry anybody
but cowboy, because she Is lively and
jolly as Cowboys are ollS 10 40 years
old, has brown curly hair, dark blue
eyes and fair complexion-is, accord
ing to this description, a real Irish
beauty. The young woman confesses
a great penchant for horses, ten mile
rides and the shooting up of every
thing she Sees
Miss McCormicks letter incidentally
has put the postmaster and an enter
prisng newspaper man on the outs.
The letter contained request not to
let the fresh newspaper men Of San
Antonio get hold Of it, and Postmaster
Stevens intended to grant this simple
wish of so fair correspondent all the
more so since he is Irish himself. But
fate in the form of the reporter inter-
vened. The latter has for years gone
through the desk of the postmaster
when he Is absent, and in this manner
the young woman's epistle has become
public.

CAPPS RESIGNS AS HEAD
OF CONSTRUCTION BUREAU
Rear Admiral to Be Assigned to
Other Duties-Not in Ac-
cord with Meyer

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Washing-
ton Lee Capps, captain in the regular
navy establishment and rear admiral
by virtue of the fact that for nearly
seven years he has been head of the
bureau of construction and repair, to-
day rendered his resignation as head
of the bureau, to take effect october l.
1t has been accepted.
Neither Secretary Meyer nor Rear
Admiral Capps tonight would discuss
the admirals sudden determination to
retire from the service. Admiral Capps,
before a congressional court last win
ter, bitterly opposed the plans of Sec
retary Meyer for a reorganization of
the navy department.
In a formal statement issued tonight
by the navy department the situation
growing out of the difference of opin-
ion between the secretary and the chief
of the bureau of construction and re-
pair was set forth as follows:
"This action on the part of Chief
Constructor Capps was promoted by
the fact that he does not find himself,
as stated in his application, in entire
accord with certain details Of the re-
organization policy of the president
and Mr.. Meyer. Under these circum-
stances Mr.. Meyer deemed it for the
best interests Of the naval service to
recommend that Mr.. Capps' resignation
be accepted and that he then be trans
ferred to other duties"
Capps, it is said, will be assigned
appropriate duty in accordance with
his rank and experience.
The chief constructor will have COM
pleted on October l thirty years Of
service in the navy, and thus be en-
titled to retirement with the rank of
rear admiral. In the meantime he will
probably be sent on tour Of inspection
to the west coast or to the Philippines
to complete the record of inspection
work which he previously has done in
that direction.

SUBMARINE BOAT MAKES
REMARKABLE RECORD
Chile May Purchase Vessels of
Salmon Type

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE re-
markable run of the submarine boat
Salmon from Quincy Mass, to Hamil-
ton, Bermuda, did not surprise naval
officers. 1t is understood that the pur-
pose Of the trip was to expedite action
on the part of the South American
countries looking to purchases of that
type of vessel, and 1t is significant that
a Chilean official was among those
aboard the Salmon, which has not yet
been turned over to the United States
government There is no doubt that
the vessel broke all records so far as
American submarines are concerned,
but the performance of Scandinavian
craft, as the naval experts recollect 1t,
almost If not quite equaled the Sal
mons achievement.

GARFIELD MAKES
KEYNOTE SPEECH
FOR INSURGENTS
Former Secretary Sets Forth the
Platform of Progressives
in0hio Campaign
FIGHTS SPECIAL INTERESTS
Says Radicals Protected Public
Domain from Assaults of
Favored Few
FIGHTS SPECIAL INTERESTS
Associated Pressl

CLEVELAND, o., July 11.-James r.
Garfield, former secretary of the in
terror. in a speech tonight before the
newly formed progressive Republican
organization of Cleveland, set forth
the platform on which the insurgents
enter the fall campaign in this state.
~. Garfield announced his acceptance
of the title of "ihsurgent"
Mr.. Garfield declared the nation
stood today in a critical situation; that
confronting the country was the prob
lem whether the fight of the progress
sives was to be carried to a success
full issue or whether they were to sur
render and admit government for and
by the people was a failure. He said
in part:
Like the prodigal youth, we, as a
nation, have wasted our resources,
sold our inheritance, acquired evil hab-
it's. but fortunately we have realized
the need of radical changes in time to
save ourselves.
''At the coming election we are to
choose between two great national par
ties. The Democratic party, while de-
claring against special interests has,
when in power, allied itself with spec
ial interests.
ATTACKS SPECIAL INTERESTS
MANY of its leaders have been and
are the recognized representatives OF
special interests. In our state the
Democratic government failed to be on
the peoples side in the fight for a pub
lie utilities bill and the Democratic
senators defeated that measure. In the
recent Democratic convention the pro-
gressive' Democrats were ignored.
can see no hope for better things from
Democracy as now controlled. =.
How is it with the Republican par
ty? 1t likewise has among its lead
ers some who are allied with, or rep
resent special interests but on the 9TH
er hand, it has progressive, aggressive
leaders who are the peoples represen-
tatives.
THE country owes a debt of graft
tude to the insurgents in congress, who
made the fight against the domination
of special interests and who placed the
common good high above party regu-
larity.
THE real friends of conservation re-
lied upon insurgents and their progress
sive allies for the protection of the pub
lie domain against the assaults of spec
ial interests.
"Insurgent senators prevented the
passage of the Alaska bill, which, in
its original form might have turned
over the untold wealth of Alaska to d
favored few.
'"The real danger to the Republican
party" he said, comes from the re-
dictionary who is controlled by special
interests and from the stand-patters
who, because, it is the easiest way,
Is willing to return to the weak policy
of laissez faire. To follow such lead
ers means disaster"

WANT LABOR REPRESENTED
IN FRAMING CONSTITUTION
Delegates Assemble in Phoenix to
Consider Plains

PHOENIX, July I.--A convention of
about thirty delegates from labor
unions representing various trades in
all the larger Arizona towns is in ses-
sion here, with the announced purpose
of seeing that labor interests are prop
erly represented by candidates for
members of the constitutional conven-
tion although it is announced that no
labor ticket will be put in the field.
The only exciting event was the re-
fusal of the credential committee to
seat six delegates, sent as representing
Socialist locals, although one member
of the committee presented a minority
report so recommending. Later the
delegates were seated as union repre-
sentatives, not as Socialists. 1t was
made plain that it was to be not a
political but workingman's convention.
