Transferring an unconscious man
 lom his boarding house. 283 Water frset, to the Bridgeport hospital, the automobile ambulance came into col lfston with a horse and wagon owned and driven by Harry Gross. a painter of 1O7 Reilly street. under the viaduct at the foot of Fairfield avenue at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
 Owing to the skilful handling of the automobile by it's expert driver, Aub- averted The ambulance was slightly damaged. but neither the horse nor any of the occupants was hurt, though the horse was thrown from it's feet.
 The responsibility for the collision plainly rests upon Gross. who drove under the viaduct to turn down into Water street on the left side of the road. The ambulance was not going at a high rate of speed, for the occu- pant was not in immediate danger, and Burlison slowed up to turn under the viaduct. At the turn the view of drivers is obstructed. Gross' horse ran into the path of the machine. Bur lison damned down the emergency brake and the car came to an almost instantaneous stop. but not quick enough to avoid collision. The horse fell over the hood and the shafts crashed through the glass wind shield. Dr. Bennett and Burlison were on the front seat of the car, while inside were the patient and Dr. WaterhOuse.
 The coolest man of all was Burlison, who leaped out, got the debris cleared away. cranked his machine and started for the hospital anew without mo- ment's delay. Patrolman Beamer got the horse on it's feet. and Gross made temporary repairs that allowed the animal to drag the wagon away.

thoughts why not tag our United states Senators? Those plain people whom Lincoln loved could thus as- certain easily the quality Of Senatorial dignity possessed by each member of the millfonaires club. For fnstance the writer, mere barking-dog. with a row of coppers on his Senatorial belIyband, would look Ike thirty cents alongside a Lorimer with a fund reaching six figures
 But if Bulkeley's advertising fund IS any criterion his Senatorial belly band will be a beauty for I notice that he is using the advertising coI- umns of the Courant extensively. How long since the able and distinguighed editor of the Courant opposed BuIke- ley for Senator on high moral grounds? I have always wondered now it has happened that all at once that opposition ceased. The editorial dog had the Senatorial coon up a. tree alright, alright, and there were those cruel enough to say that the coon muzzled the dog. These editor men make me weary. Ho for the Senate"

MRS. BULL SUED
 FOR $IoO,ooo
Tells Her Story in Court Today of Being Defraud-
 ed Out of $35, GOO
Especial frov United Press.)

New York. Aug. 3-Indignant and excited, Mrs. Mary Nevins Baine Bull, divorced wife of James G. Blaine, Jr., and widow of Dr. William Bull. today took the stand in Jefferson Market court and told her story of the man Dudley and H W. Corbitt defrauded her out of $35,000. Just before she entered the courtroom Mrs. Bull was served with papers in two suits for $100, 900 damages brought by Dudley and Corbitt for malicious persecution.
 Mrs Bulls story was a plain tale of a society woman, lured into the bus1- ness field by a promise of large profits and little risk. She said that Dudley had come to her with a scheme for the making of building blocks of "dolo- mite stone". which he described as quarry refuse. The raw product cost from $1.50 to g ton. according to quality, and the finished material sold for $250 a ton. The fact that con- .vinced her of the worth of the plan, said Mrs. Bull, was. when Dudley told her that every atom of the raw pro- duct was utilized in by-products.
 When he told me that even the tiny bits of rock were sold to manufactur- CTS of face powder I was sure that there must be great profit in the scheme"
 Mrs. Bull said she gave Dudley $15,- VU at one time and $20,OOO at another to be invested in the Newark factory of the Magnesia Asbestos Company which Dudley told her. she said. had another plant at Dorchester Bay, Mass.
 Dudley told me that the Newark factory wasturning out 5000 tons of building block day. He was a very convincing talker and believed what he said. He told me that the building hlock was manufactured by a secret process which he had patented for the next IT years"
 Today's arraignment of the two men was on warrants sworn out in New York by Mrs. Bull following her eff forts to have the pair extradited to Rhode Island to answer indictments there.
 Lawyer Mcintyre for Dudley and Corbitt exhibited in court a cablegram from Morris Dunlap Hopkins, who in troduced Dudley to Mrs. Bull. saying that he would return from Europe at once to testify on behalf of Dudley.

Senator Deliver Says He Fully Expected Victory and Thinks Cannon Help ed Progressives House Leader Murdock, Who Is Renominated for Congress, Says Kansas Will Fight to Drive Spe- cial Interests from Con- trol of Politics
Special from United Press. )

Topeka, Aug. 3-An insurgent land slide struck Kansas in the primary elections held yesterday and returns today show that Governor M. R. Stubbs. insurgent, was swept into the renomination for Governor, while six of the eight Republican Congressman nominated are insurgents. R. J. Hop kins, the insurgent candidate for Lieu tenant Governor. is running well and his nomination is also predicted.
 Only two Congressional districts are in doubt. They are the first and third, the strongest stand-pat districts in the State. Both factions claim vlc- tories in these districts. The Congress sional nomination results so far are:
 First District-In doubt.
 Second District-Alexander Mitchell, progressive, defeats Congressman c. E. Scott, stand-patter.
 Third District-In doubt.
 Fourth District-Fred Jackson, pro- gressive, defeats Congressman Miller, stand-patter.
 Fifth District-O. R. Rees. progress sive, defeats Congressman w. A. Cal derhead, stand-patter.
 Sixth District-I. D. Young, progress sive, defeats Congressman Reider.
 Seventh District-E. H. Madison, in Surgent, returns uncontested.
 Eighth District-Victor Murdock, in- surgent, returns uncontested.
 The insurgents still believe they have a chance to defeat the incumbents in the first and third districts, Anthony and Campbell. with McNeil and Gran ston. Governor Stubbs was nominat- ed by an overwhelming majority over Thomas Wagstaff, the stand-patter.
 The insurgent landslide in Kansas follows one of the most sensational campaigns in the States history. Af- ter Uncle Joe Cannon had singled out Congressman Murdock and Congress man Madison for attack during the sessions of Congress. when they had invaded the State. upbraiding the in surgents" unmercifully and throwing all his strength to the stand-pat can- didates.

 Wichitka, Kas., Aug. 3-Victor Murdock, insurgent House Leader re- nominated for Congress in the eighth district without opposition, was elated "at the victory of the progressives." At his home here today he gave out the following statement:
 During the campaign I met and talked with thousands of Kansans and I believe I know what this in- surgent victory means. First, Kansas has repudiated Cannon and his sys- tenn of rules in the House. Secondly, Kansas Republicans have notified the world that the Republican party in Kansas is in the fight to the last ditch to throw special and selfish in- terests out of control in politics.

KING ALF0NSO'S TRIP
 TO ENGLAND CUNNING
 STROKE OF DIPLOMACY
Premier Caneejas, Recognized As Real Power Making Willing Tool of Spanish Ruler In Order to Defeat the Purpose of the Vatican In Bringing Its
 Influence to Bear on the Sovereign

The King and Queen are stopping at the Hotel Meurice in this city. They will go on to England this evening.
 London, Aug 3-Members of the British Foreign Office practically ad- mitted today that King Alfonso's trip to England at this time is not a pleasure trip at all, as announced. but is for the purpose of seeking ad vice regarding the desperate. political situation that has arisen in Spain as a result of the rupture between the government and the Vatican.
 King George owes a visit to AL fonso and it is highly improbable that the Spanish ruler would break the iron clad royal etiquette and visit a foreign ruler out of turn" unless the situation were urgent. It is con- sidered highly improbable that, even were Alfonso's <t trip to England Sn order from the standpoint of etiquette he would leave during such crisis as now confronts him.
 Queen Victoria, it is said, is accom- panying Alfonso in order to help out the appearance that the trip is for pleasure.
 San Sebastian, Aug. s.-Twenty thousand soldiers are being quietly mobilized in this city to prevent any disturbances at the big Catholic dem onstration planned for next Sunday. It is expected that at least 150,0Oo Catholics will take part in the pro- test against the government action toward the Vatican The demonstra- tion was originally planned as a di- rect protest to King Alfonso, who has been spending the summer here. Had the King remained here and received the visiting delegation it is probable that the demonstration would have passed off quietly. But the Kings departure from Spain has incensed the Catholic population and he is be- ing accused of coward1y avoiding a meeting with the Catholics.
