 actual feeling relative to building a
 spur track on that street as the Con-

 decide in favor of the tracks without
 more thorough knowledge of the
 wishes of the local residents.

 BURGLAR VICTIM
Bound, Gagged and Beaten, New Haven Merchant Knocks Off Receiver and Mumbles Message to Po- lice Headquarters.

New Haven, Feb. 1.--Bound and gag ged so he could hardly speak, and suf- fering from the wounds inflicted upon him, Samuel Sattler, a merchant at v South Front street, Fair Haven, at an early hour yesterday succeeded in kOcking the receiver from the tele- phone with his elbow and with voice so weak that it could hardly be distin- guished, informed the police through the telephone exchange of the rob- bery.
 ''Burglary-77 South Front street. send police quick" was the message received by the night operator and no time was lost in delivering the mes sage. When two policemen arrived at the home of MT. Sattler they found lhim unable to remove the cords that bound him, and dazed from fright and the beating.
 He told the police two masked men entered his house while he was sleep ing. jumped on hin. when he was awakened and then beat him on the head and gagged and bound him. He saw the men ransacking the house and .rat tched them take $60 from his 'lothes.
 AS soon as they left his room he staggered to the telephone and knock d the receiver off, so that he could mutter the message two or three times. He did not know then that the opera Eor had received it or that the burglars had not cut the wire, but in a few minutes the policemen arrived. Simon Kuzuk was arrested in the afternoon.
 The detectives at work on the case regard the burglary as a fake.

CARTER DEFENDS
 POSTAL SAVINGS
Montana Senator Champions Measure Which He Says Merely Extends Postal Money Order Banking Plan.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The debate on the Postal Savings Bank bill began with long set speech in defense of the measure by Senator Carter of Montana and with Interruptions by Senator Hepburn. The bill as it stands before the, Senate is nominally MT. Carter's measure, though in real ity drafted by the committee on Post Offices and Post Roads largely son the pattern of a bill introduced by Sena- tor Borah early in the session.
 MT. Carters sincerity in fathering a bill, which he had been rather expect ed to oppose has already been attack ed on the floor by Senator GaIinger, but yesterday the Senator from Mon tana spoke at great length in support of the measure. The discussion seem ed to attract little interest. The floor of the Senate was practically deserted throughout the speech, and few people attack on MT. Carter's arguments was about the only Interruption.
 MT. Carter said that this Govern rnent was the only great nation with out postal savings bank system. and he argued that from every point of view the system, would do well. It would keep foreigners in the country from sending their money home to postal banks abroad. he said while among our own citizens it would en- courage thrift and put into circulation savings that have so far been kept hidden away.
 The argument against the bill on the ground of "unwarranted use of pow CT" by the Government MT. Carter met with the reply that the postal savings banks supply merely a more economical and more beneficial method for doing a work already performed by the post offices. He said that the mere transmission of money orders amounted to temporary deposits with out interest.
 1.-The establishment of the postal banks he said. "but elaborates a use to which the postal service is now subjected. for. as the report of the committee will show. a very large sum of money in. all the States and Terri tories is invested in money orders payable to the purchaser and renewed annually at an expense of B per $1, 600 as a penalty of thrift"
 AS to the cf1aree that such a sys- tenn might be held unconstitutional he answered that "the microscope has not yet been made which can disclose a difference in principle between the money order system and the system here proposed"
 This system, he claimed. instead of being a menace to the banks would prove a source of strength to the financial structure. He said that such had been the experience wherever it had been tried.

BOY INVENTORS
 MAKING MONEY

(F'rom the Van Norden Magazine for February.
 Wireless telegraph and the conquest of the air have taken firm hold on the youths of America and hundreds of lads of tender years, but advanced ideas, are devoting their talents to the invention Or construction of machines III both these lines.
 While these devices are largely for pleasure, Young America has proved it's ability to turn inventive genius in- to utiliarian channels. One of the most remarkable inventions made by boy is a device for signalling on ele- vated roads. It is in use on part of the Brooklyn 'L' system and is the work Of Morris Sschaffer, fifteen years old, a public school boy. Morris was offered eighteen thousand dollars for this patent, but on the advice of friends, refused it. The boy expects to pc able to get fifty thousand dollars for the idea from the railroad com pany.
 Of quite a different ca1ibre is the machine invented by Donald H. Miller, student at Columbia University This by the mere touching of keys, similar to those on typewriter, translates. Chinese into English. It can also be used to translate any other language. The contrivance resembles an adding machine.
 From darkest Indiana comes the rec- ord of the achievement of Claude Moore, the son of a. poor coal miner. Young Moore, who is twenty years old was reduced to the sum of two cents when he received word from the Patent Office that it had issued him patent on a corn-husker. Thereupon Claude, who is thrifty youth, sold this pa tent to the Harvester Trust for con- siderable real money.
 A most ambitious piece of work has just been successfully finished by Fran cis Lee Herreshoff. the young nephew of the famous yacht designer. This is the construction of a high power rac- ing automobile with which has been developed the tremendous speed of eighty miles an hour.
 Herreshoff has also patented a de- vice for subduing the blare of acety- lene lamps The mechanism does away with the necessity of extinguishing the lamps, for it softens the glare, making it hardly more noticeable than an oil lan1D.

COLD PROMOTERS THEFT

DOUGLAS, Oct. 22. - (Special)-
 That property Is property and own ership is ownership, whether the own ership of the property be vested in the individual or the corporation, ana 10 matter where 1t may be located is matter the local courts always naye difficulty in intoxicating in the minds of those who happen to want that property. This is always so to a greater or less extent, but the ar rival of cooled weather always tends to make the fact more evident, and so it was this year. When the cool mornings come raids are made on railroad ties or coal in the cars oi the Southwestern. This morning the first arrests of the season were made for this.
 A Mexican woman and a younS man were the only local prisoners yes terday. They had been caught taking railroad ties for fuel and had been arrested. The woman pleaded that she saw others taking them and d,d not know it was wrong. that if re leased she would never do it again, that neither of them would, but the plea went for naught. Judge Rice in fiicted ten-day sentences on the pris- oners and added that this year he would start severely at the outset. Last year he showed some leniency at first and the result was tha: there were more than the usual number of cases that came later. This year he states that he will stop the taking of ths railroad property at the outset if jail sentences will do it.

KILLED BY AUTO

GLOBE, Oct 21.-Strucls by an au- tomobile of George H. Smalley, clerk of the district court, when she be came confused and stepped in front Iof the machine at the corner of Broad and Cedar streets. Mrs. w. A. Bassett was fatally injured shortly before noon yesterday. She died at the Old Dominion hospital three hours later, without recovering conscious ness.
 In the opinion of practically every one who witnessed the tragic happen ing, 1t was one of those almost inex. plicable affairs, for which no one is particularly to blame. The woman was. it is claimed. preoccup.ed while crossing the street and became & confused in endsavoring to avoid the machine that she stepped directly iB front of it. after she had moved out of it's path and after MT. Smalley. who was driving the car. considered her to be entirely away from the ma ch ne.
 Those who witnessed the accident have little or no censure for Mir. SmaIley. Mr. Bassett, husband of the deceased, holds no animosity against Mir. Smalley, considering the affair to be purely accidental
 Mir Smalley, together with Mrs. Smalley, Mrs. E. w. Lewis, Mrs. F. s. Nave and Mrs. Roland R. Jacobs. had started for Black Warrior and were just turning into Broad street after coming down the Cedar street hln when the accident occurred.
