JACK JOHNSON
 STOPS HERE TO BUY NEW MOTOR
Goes Through Plant of American & British Manufacturing Com
 pany
WEARS QUART OF DIAMONDS
One of Them So Big It Flashes Like Wireless Telegraph Ap- paratuS

Jack Johnson, champion pugilist of the world, wearing about @ score of mammoth diamonds. stopped at the plant of the American & British Mfg. Co. this morning while passing through this city on his way to New Britain. He wanted to buy a new motor for one of his racing cars and ordered one of the 40 h. p. Chalmers motors made by the company. He wanted one right away, and this afternoon MT. J. w. Goetz. purchasing agent of the concern, wired the black fighter at New Britain that the firm had one of the motors in stock.
 Johnson was shown through the plant of the American & British Mfg. Go. and expressed surprise that the concern was such a large manufac- turer of motors.
 With a diamond on his shirt bosom that must weigh 10 carats. and several more on his fingers, Jack radiated flashes of light through the various departments of the plant that led many of the employees to believe that Presi- dent Hoadley's wireless telegraph plant had become short circuited.
 Johnson was accompanied by his white wife and his big touring car was driven by white chauffeur. Johnson has a theatrical engagement in New Britain tonight.

WIFE COLLAPSES. UNDER GRUELLING
 OF THIRD DEGREE
Poisoning of Millionaire Pork Packer Promises Startling Re- veIatiOns With Prominent Man in the Case
Special from United Press. }

(SpeCldl ITOI1 Ou1C0Q fTeSS.)
 Wheeling, w. Va, Nov. IA third point in the triangle of tragedy in- volving Mrs. Laura Schenk, now in the Wheeling jail charged with poi soning her husband, John O. Schenk, millionaire pork packer, is expected torney Handlan promised the arrest of ''the man in the case,'' and that arrest, he declares, will cause sen- Sation.
 Far into last night the beautiful woman faced a gruelling third de- gree' in Wheeling jail. Since her ar rest she had been calm and unmoved, but at the close of theexamination she was in a state of almost total mental and physical collapse. It was at this time that Handlan declar- ed he had evidence against the woman that will send her to the penitentiary and the arrest of another would come either today or tomorrow. This dec- laration led to the rumor that the beautiful wife of the poisoned mill Honaire had broken down under the strain of the hours of questioning and that she had made some sort of a confession. The authorities, however, declined to confirm this.
 The story is persistent. today, that at least one Or two business men of the town will be connected with the case. In his cheerless room at North Wheeling Hospital, today, the hus- band was told of the real cause of his illness. pr. Frank Shupp, in an effort to learn of, the early status of his patients case, told of the suspi- cions of the authorities that he had been poisoned. The stricken million aire cried Nike a child: 'sOh, Laura, Laura,'' he sobbed, and turning his face to the wall, he refused absolutely to talk.
 Prosecutor Handlan and his aides are hard at work assembling all the evidence they have so far secured in the case. Specimens of the medicine and lithia water, which was given Schenk during his illness at his home, with the chemical analysis made at John Hopkins University, are in the hands of the prosecutor. These anal yses, the prosecutor claims, show the presence of arsenic. Although Hand Ian refuses to discuss the case in de- tail, 1t is understood that servants at the Schenk home, and nurses who car ed for Schenk, are among his wit nesses. It is alleged that's Schenk's chauffeur was offered a bribe of $1,- GOO if he would take his employer out in his auto and run the machine into the ditch. A nurse at the North, Wheeling Hospital is expected to tell that she was offered money to poison Schenk. even after his removal to the hospital.
 It was announced by the hospital physicians, today, that Schenk will probably recover.
 Just when the case will be tried is unsettled, and even the date of the preliminary hearing has not yet been set. Efforts probably will be made today, to secure the release of Mrs. Schenk on bail. This move will be strenuous1y opposed, it is said.

SIX DIvORCEES
 MADE HAPPY BY
 DEGREES TODAY
lntolerabIe Cruelty the Cause of Three Separations-Th0se Who Applied

This was a lucky day for divorce applicants in the Superior court, civil side, six being heard, and six being granted by Judge William H. Will Hams.
 Mary E.. Williams Wier, formerly of this city, but now residing in Boston, was freed, from her husband, Chauncey S. Wier. an alligner with the Royal Typewriter Ce. in Hartford. on the ground of intolerable cruelity. The couple were married in Rye, N. Y., Nov. 25. 1904. The unnatural conduct of the husband towards his wife brought about their separation March 3, 1910. Ella J. Atlas of this city, a sister of Mrs. Wier, told the court of incidents when she saw Wier abuse his wife.
 Annie E. Tompkins Foy of Riverside, Greenwich. was allowed a decree from her husband, Emmett Foy, of New York, on the ground of intolerable cruelty. They were married Oct IF, 1904, going abroad on their wedding trip, the funds for the trip being sup piled by the wife. Foy was a drinker wife. Servants in the Foy home testi- fled as to seeing Foy strike his wife. They have two children whose custody were given to the mother. She asked for a change of name, both for her self and her children. The court took this matter into consideration.
 Rose Dougherty Carroll of this city, was freed from John Carroll, also of this city. on the grounds of desertion and intemperance. Mrs. Carroll told the court that her husband never knew what it was to be sober. They were married Sept. 1, 1892. She left him June A, 1904.
 Infidelity was the ground on which Mary Ryan Smith of this city, was al- lowed a separation from her husband, Henry Smith. Mary Rooney of this city was named as the correspondent. The couple were united Feb. Is, 1885.
 Stephen Farkas of Westport, married Rosa Farkas, May 30, 1909, but it was not long afterwards that he learned that she was unfaithfuI to him. To- day he was allowed a separation on those grounds, Stephen Lengyel of Westport, being named as co-respon- dent.
 Julianna Ujhelyi of this city can now put Miss before her name. She was allowed a separation from her hus- band, Joseph Ujhelyi, on the ground of deSertiOn.

TO SHAY
 GIRL WHO FAILED TO KEEP ''DATE"
Night Watchman DisarmS Angry Man-Was Lying in Wait at Col. M- M. Downer's House

Brandishing an ugly carving knife and muttering threats upon the life of servant girl who was asleep on the second floor, Rudolph Takas, a la- borer, was found lettering in the shad- ows In the yard of former Police Com- missioner M. Moody Downer, Fairfield and Clinton avenues, at 10:30 last night.
 Special Policeman O'Leary, a night watchman in the employ of residents of the section, discovered Takas. O'Leary was in plain clothes.
 Half in broken English, half in pam tomime, Takas indicated that he was waiting until all in the house should be asleep before he would force his way into the house and take the girls life with the knife he held firmly in his grasp.
 With delft motion O'Leary disarmed the man, then sent for the police patrol automobile. Takas had been drinking. Today it was learned that he cherished a grudge against the servant. Annie Horvath, because she had refused to keep an appointment he believed she had made with him.
 Judge Foster found Takas guilty of creating a. breach of the peace and of drunkenness, and fined him s and costs and sentenced him to jail for 30 days.

COST OF ELECTION IS NOT
 YET ACCURATELY FIGURED
Voting Machines Seem to Cost More Than Old Style, but They Are Worth the Price

The actual cost of the election will not be known for several weeks. The finance committee of the Common Council met last night but only a few of the bills were before the committee. The bulk of the bills will come before the new committee which will not meet for another month.
 The expense includes rent for poll ing places, carpenter work. lumber, moving election booths, electric wiring, carriage, heating polling places, care of voting machines, watching voting machines, demonstrating use of voting machines, wages of moderators. check CTS, and many other incidentals. It costs more to hold elections with the machines than with the old system be- cause of the extra expenditure of dem onstrating the machines and the need of having watchers for several ma chimes in each district, while only two watchers were needed for the ballot boxes The counting of votes is so facilitated and the results are known so quickly that everyone agrees that they are worth the extra cost.

JUDGE BALDWIN
 GAVE $3,8OO TO
 CAMPAIGN FUND
Against His Principles to Give More Than One Years Sal
 ary of Office

Thirty eight hundred dollars, is the exact amount that Simeon E. NBald- win, governor-elect of Connecticut, contributed to the campaign fund of the Democratic party. It was re- ported that the judge gave $4,000. but from this amount he deducted S20o, which he used to defray his personal expenses for making trips about the state for the purpose of speaking, etc.
 When Judge Baldwin announced that s4,000 was all that he would give to the campaign fund, there was some adverse comment by some who, because of the scarcity of money among the Democrats, thought that the governor-elect should give a larger amount. He declined, how ever, saying in substance:
 ''Now gentlemen, you know it has always been my opinion that a can didate should not contribute to a campaign fund, more than one years salary. I will give $4,000. but from this sum, as a matter of principle, l must deduct $250 for my personal expenses"
 The judge would not even give the 5000 and then pay his own eX- penses. declaring that it would be a violation of his principle regarding the matter. He finally consented, however, to deduct only S200 for his personal expenses and gave his check for $3,S00.

 Providence, Nov. 11.-That the choice of United States Senator Ald- rich, of Henry F. Lippitt, as his suc- cessor, will not go uncontested, as at first was generally thought, became known. today, when the Republican opposition to Lippitt crystalized into a petition, signed by many influential Republicans. urging Judge Le Baron Colt, of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, to become a can didate. Judge Colt is a brother of Colonel s. P. Colt, the rubber mag nate, who withdrew from the race flor business reasons"
 Indications. today, were that Lip pitt would have a hard fight, as a large number of the small Republi- can majority are opposed to him. I.fppitt is a textile manufacturer of this city. He has never made a poli- ticai speech in his life and has made no statement regarding his candidacy
 The Democrats in the next legis- lature are pledged to support Judge Arthur L. Brown. of the United States Circuit Court, for the Senate.

 VOTERS HELD
 GREAT POWER
Great Number of GrOuches Re. fused to Exercise Their Most
 Important of Rights
MIGHT HAVE CHANGED RESULT
Could Have Elected Goodwin or the SOciaIists-or Upset
 Any of Those Elected

The stay-at-home voter played a very prominent part in the recent State election in this city, for practically 2 per cent. of the electorate either had grouch on or felt themselves aloof from mixing in the affairs of govern ment and remained away from the polls. A few might have been out of town. a few others were ill., but the majority did not care to exercise the greatest right ever acquired by man.
 There were 3.S57 voters who did not vote. These ballots would have been enough to have done many things in the changing of the election. They would have been sufficient to have elected Goodwin Governor. They might have elected Wilson to Congress They would, if cast for the Socialist party, have enabled that party to have swept the city and placed several So- cialist Aldermen in the Common Coun- ell. The stay-at-home voters could have changed the election of about all the candidates in the city. The majority of this stay-at-home part of the electorate were undoubted- ly men who do not know what kind of government they do want and could not choose between the Democratic, Republican and Socialist platforms.
 ALleT CdIhlHS WIlH the WOFkerS OI all parties in the various districts one has to conclude that at least 75 per cent. of the stay-at-homes were hard shell Republicans who could not see their way clear to vote for their party candidate, and rather than have it said that they ever voted for a Democrat or Socialist they put on sack cloth and ashes for their own party, put the doorbell out of commission and hid in their cellars to escape the election workers.
 How the vote stayed home can best be judged by the following table:

ANOTHER FLOOD
 THREATENING TO
 lNUNDATE FRANCE
Special from United Press,

Paris, Nov. 11-France is again, to- day, manifesting great uneasiness ov- CT the flood situation, which threat ems to duplicate last years serious inundations.
 Heavy rams, which have been fall ing for some days, continued unabat- ed, today, and the officials are ex- pressing great alarm. The Seine, at the Pont Royal. has reached a. stage of 15 feet inches as against its nor mai stage of feet, Il inches.
 The weather is cold and hard rains are reported from all the upper tri- butaries of the Seine, so that 8 vast volume of water is said to be pour ing into the river. The water is al- ready so high that few river boats are running, being unable to pass un- der the bridges.
 The lowest streets in Nancy and Troyes have already been flooded and great property loss has already been sustained in many of the rural dis tricts and small cities where dykes have not been built as high as in the larger cities. La Patrie, today, describes the valley of the Moselle river as a vast lake and declares that property loss in that region will be enormous.

CUMMINGS IS
 OUT FOR THE
 SENATORSHIP
Democratic Legislative Delega-
 ton Here Approached - Chance of Electing Democrat

Attorney John J. Walsh of Norwalk was in town today and interviewed the Democratic members of the city's delegation to the State Legislature in behalf of the candidacy of ex-Mayor Homer Cummings of Stamford for United States Senator.
 It is understood that Attorney Walsh secured some promises, although John S. Seymour of Norwalk has al- ready been active among them in be- half of his own candidacy.
 Despite the fact that the Democrats will be in a minority in the legisla- ture, some profess to believe. that there is a good chance of electing a United States Senator this year. This is based upon rumor which few take seriously that the Republican adher- ents of Morgan G. Bulkeley will not assent to a party caucus in which case the Senatorship fight will be made at joint meeting of Senate and House and the Democrats will have chance of electing their man.

Quickly rifling the register the three bandits fled for safety. They had gone but a block when they en- countered Policemen Kahownsky and Kane, who were coming on the run. Commands to halt were answered by the bandits with a hail of bullets and Kane fell with ithe first volley. Ris- ing to his knees. however, the wound ed policeman pumped lead with his companion until he was struck by another bullet. Kaknowsky fired until his pistol was empty.
 With the last shot, one of the rob- bers fell and another was seen to clap his hands to his breast. Kakownsky ran to the prOstrate bandit and the robber rolled over and threw down" his gun on the policeman Before his finger could pull the trigger, however, the bluecoat's empty automatic des- cended in a crushing blow on his head. In the meantime. the other two bandits had made good their escape with the Dlunder
