COUSIN BARNARD
 MEETS UP WITH
 COUSIN AL HUNT
This Is Lucky for Cousin Brainard, Who Gets Out
 of Auto Scrape Easy

Discovery that Police Captain Alvin $. Hunt is his second cousin helped Wilson F. Brainard. a wealthy pub fisher, out of an unpleasant predica- ment when he was arrested yesterday afternoon for auto speeding.
 Brainard was driving east through Fairfield avenue with his wife and two children, on the way from his home in Glen Ridge to his summer residence at Branford. Two test cars of the Corbin Co. passed him and remained so near him that he determined to get out of their road.
 Clifford Gorgas. the motorcycle cop, was pursuing the Corbin cars when Brainard shot past at 35 miles per hour. Gorgas got a mud bath from Brainard's car as he clung close to the machine to Park and Fairfield avenues, where he halted the motorist and ar- rested him.
 Brainard had only $40 in cash with him to cover the S10O bond required and as checks are not acceptable, he was in a quandary until Captain Hunt questioned him for information for the police record, discovered he came of the old Connecticut family of Brain ards, and later that he was his own second cousin. Captain Hunt not only accepted a watch for the balance of the bail, but made arrangements so that Brainard could keep an important business engagement in New York to- day and appear in court next Friday.

juently the company which controls the construction in the cities can pre- vent other interests from building in- terurban lines simply by refusing to make fair arrangements for operat- ing the cars from such lines into the centers of population. The bill pre- pared by the business men cures this difficulty also, and makes it possible for independent interests to have their cars brought into the cities at fair rates, and thus to develop the coun- try lines which the New Haven road is now unwilling to build.
 Electric wires now run all over the state; yet how many houses in the outlying districts have electric lights? :? The provisions in the business mems bill permitting the organization Of public service companies under gen. eral law and the granting of special privileges by a commission which is always in session would materially aid in bringing this great city luxury into country homes as well.
 Considering these and the many other benefits which would accrue to the residents of Holland county, from which MT Hall halls, why should he be unwilling to state his position on the public utilities question if he desires to be elected to an important state office? What is his position?"

GREECE TO BECOME REPUBLIC GERMAN
 STATESMEN SAY
Special from United Press.)


 Berlin, July 1S.-German. statesmen who give especial attention to foreign politics believe Greece will become republic within a short time. King George is in deep disfavor with his subjects and in imminent danger of being removed from the throne to which he. was called AT years ago by popular election. The dissatisfaction lies in the fact that King George fail ed to secure permission from the pow CTS to annex to Greece the island of Crete, which belongs to Turkey.
 Crete has a predominating Greek and Christian population and the Greek Christians have resented for by Moslem Turks. King George visit ed London, Paris and Rome in an ef- fort to secure permission from the powers to seize the island. His mis- sion was futile.
 When King George returned to Athens he was given chilling recep- ton. The newspapers urged Athen- ians not to give the monarch a public reception or to show him any marks Of politeness in the streets on his re- turn. Other newspapers have been clamoring publicly for his abdication. Greece being an absolutely Democratic country with perfect freedom of speech. Some of the Greek papers go so far as to demand that King George leave the country, declaring his continued pres ence is obnoxious to his subjects.
 German politicians who have been eager to annex the trade of Greece and Turkey and to establish strong commercial ties in those countries, are watching the present broil with great interest.

WEALTHY SPANIARDS
 FEAR REVOLUTION Result of Kings Meeting With Cabinet Kept a
 Profound Secret
Especial from United Press.)

San Sebastian. Spain. July 1s.- Wealthy Spaniards are rushing into this frontier city owing to the danger ous outlook for political revolution throughout Spain. The result of yes terday's meeting between King AL fonso and the Spanish cabinet is still being kept profound secret but there is good ground for the belief that a military program was outlin- ed, to be followed in the event the out break becomes as serious as forecast ed. It is thought the constitution will be suspended and martial law declared if the authorities believe the revolution warrants such action.
 Considerable fighting, accompanied by numerous fatalities, is reported from all sections of the nation but the government is suppressing the de- tails and all cable matter is submitted to rigid censorship.
 Labor agitators are working hard for general strike all over Spain and are meeting with considerable success. In every city where the workers have gone out rioting and bloodshed have followed. Troops have been ordered out with instructions to tolerate no large gatherings.

POLICE TERMINATE
 CIRCLING DOG WITH
 EASY SHCT GUN
Mongrel, Who Couldn't Travel In a Straight Line, Attracts Attention of
 Mrs. F. w. Smith, Jr.

Mrs. Friend W. Smith, Jr., of 894 Fairfield, took alarm at the unnatural pranks of a stray dog on her lawn at 10 o'clock this morning and tele- phoned to police headquarters for pro- lection.
 Court Officer Finnegan and Elec- trician Ladd were despatched to the scene in the automobile patrol, in the absence of the Police Dog Expert, Ed ward Wagner. They found an under sized black and white canine of un- certain pedigree on the orner await ing the arrival. The neighborhood was in the thrall of mad dog scare.
 Inoffensively enough, the dog look ed over the policemen, then began to run in circles. Round and round, the canine sped with increasing pace un- til he had the cops dizzy. They whist led and called in vain, then decided that it was not safe to allow the dog to roam abroad. He was untagged.
 Ladd seized a shotgun from the pa tro1, allowed the dog to circle into Iranistan avenue from Fairfield ave- nue, far enough to be out general view, then he sent the dog to the hap py hunting ground.
 The obsequies were held this after noon, John T. King, as funeral direc- tor.

WHO CROSSED BRIDGE FIRST
 WITH TEAM?
John Daley Declares that Honor Is His and Not for Benjamin Bernard Boyle
 O'Reilly

That unsolved question, "who Killed Cock Robin?'' is likely to be settled before the greater problem is who first crossed Congress street bridge with a team?
 The honor was given Saturday, without qualification, to Benjamin Bernard Boyle O'Reilly, but comes now John Daley, who resides at Main and Congress street, who says that he crossed ahead of O'Reilly, to bring over load of sand, and furthermore doth depose and say that he, Daley, can prove it.
 The Bridge commission will doubt less ask Mayor Buckingham to sit as a board of arbitration to hear the evil dence and award the honor to whom it belongs.

 Because Alone In World
Special from United Press


 Washington, July 1S.-Sociologists here today attempt to prove by the case of Mary Arentrue, 59 years of age, who ended her life by asphyxi- ation, whether it is actually possible for a person to live in the center of large city absolutely as desolate as if in the middle of desert
 Such appears to have been the plight of Mary Arentrue. Seven months ago she decided that it was not worth while and penned this not:
 ''Nov. 2S, 1909-Wherefore should live? I have no friends, no money and no relatives. I have no reason or cause to live. Hence I die Mary Arentrue."
 The note was turned over to the authorities today by Mrs. B. F. Ash ford keeper of the lodging house where the woman finally ended her life after contemplating suiside for more than half year. Miss Arentrue had sup ported herself by sewing. No one who knew her had the least suspicion of her intention but investigation today seemed to bear out the statements in her farewell note that she had no friends or associations.
