Declaring that their valuables were in the house the party said that they would go inside and get them. The bandits permitted the party to go inside the house and immediately a mem- Der of the party called up the police station. The bandits, after waiting for some little time, be- came suspicious and rode off. The police arrived on the scene a short time later, but secured no clue. It is thought that the men were em- ployes of rauch outside the city.

"The priests are not trying to influence the votes of the people, for we'll they know the Church takes no sides in state questions" said the archbishop. "The Catholic party that endorsed the candidacy of Madero and de la Barra is com posed of laymen who are working within their rights, but any other group of Catholics might organize and support General Reyes or any, one else.

II know of no reason for my brother's trip to the United States apart from the fact that he wished to place his son in a school there," the doctor continued, but l have received telegram from him stat ing that he would reach this city on Sunday.

 Mexican Herald: General Adolfo Nj. Azuela, an intimate friend of Andrew Amazon, is much dis tressed at his friends recent con- duet. Mir. Azueta yesterday said, "Almazan, not with Zapata, is a good boy who has been led astray by designing people, but why he should rise up in arms at the pres ent time is more than l can under stand. The country is tired of disturbances and needs time to recuperate. Even suppose there was some great principal to be fought for, war should not be declared until the land has had a rest. 1 can see no reason for revolution. Mir. Madero surely will be elected president and we who fought for him have no reason to complain against existing condi- tions."
 Chihuahua Enterprise: It is whispered around among the min- ing men in this section that the off, cials connected with the Chihuahua shelter are seriously contemplating an early resumption of the plant, probably re-opening on or about the first of November. The mining men say, however, that it will de- pend on whether the political situ- alton is a settled fact. If condi. tlons are then as they are now there is no doubt that it will be opened. Still further rumors say there is a possibility of the com pany making the plant larger by installing two more furnaces. A staff correspondent called on the shelter officials yesterday to au- 'henticate these reports, but was met with the reply that there was nothing to say.

POET HARD AT
WORK WRITING
A MELO-DRAMA
Is to Be Spoken to Music
Written at the Request Of
William Faversham.

Richard LeGallienne. one of the

tongue. is hard at work at his villa
in Greens Farms giving the finishing
touches to "Orestes," a melo-drama

versham and Mrs. Faversham (Julia

Nor is Mr.. LeGallienne's production
to be confused with grand opera; it
is true that a grand opera orchestra
will be used but the play will be en-
acted and spoken, not sung, to the
accompaniment Of music.
Many advanced music ans think that
this style of production will be the
play of the future, while grand opera
adherents and admirers of vocal pyro-
technics are bitterly opposed to it.
The plot of Mr.. Gallienne's play is
derived from the story of Orestes, the
pr nee who kills his mother at the
behest of his sister. Elektra, and the
plot is derived from the same theme
as Richard Strauss opera "Elektra."
The music is the work of Jules
Massenet the great French composer.
The play is to have its premier in
New York soon.

that there has been an understanding
to his effect since Hills defeat by
Brandegee two years ago. But right
mere tnere opens up nice question.
How Will Hill fare two years hence
wnen he again essays to run for Con-
gress! It is no secret that Sheriff
HaWley and ali Of the iat.er's dep,1-
ties and their friends believe that
diiPs treachery cost Hawley his job
In view of the dwindling popularity
Of Hill as shown by his conparatiyeiy
small vote at the lale election, what
cnance has he to run and again win?
1t is known that outside Of the Haw-
ley sphere other skilled hands in the
political game like Judge Banks and
Judge Walsh are not deeply permeated
with Hillfsm and there may be some
olncuity in doing anything like ef-
fect1ve work for Hill in this county.
However. this Is more or less a mat.
ter Of conjecture.
,aI Fellewing ades.1 in the trail of the Bulke-

M'LEAN'S SELECTION MAY
MAKE KING COUNTY LEADER
Bridgeporter Was the Chief Lieutenant In Fairfield
County for Conqueror of Bulkeley- State Marshal
ship Not for Sheriff s. E. Hawley - Is Hill to Be
Man Picked to Defeat Brandegee Four Years
Hence 3.

What effect will the result of the
Republican caucus yesterday in de-
claring for Mclean have upon the To-
cal Republican situation? This is a
question that many have asked.
Unquestionably John T. King who
was the acknowledged Mclean leader
in Fairfield county is immensely
strengthened by reason Of Bulkeley's
downfall. King was untiring in his
favorable to Mclean throughout the
county. For months prior to the eau
cuses King visited every town and
district in the county and arranged
his fences with the view to landing
Mclean votes in event Of the towns
returning Republican legislators
How well he succeeded is shown by
the way the Fairfield county members
voted Mclean having a big ajority
over Bulkeley. King had as his op-
ponents in this county astute and vet
eran political workers Ike the State
Central Committee Chairman Michael
kenealy Of Stamford, u. S. Senator
Brandegee's law partner and Sheriff
: p. Hawley Of this city and Brook
field.
~ ~ q HldLIcr OIL history now now
King captured the Republican organ
lzation in this city and had nominat-
ed five Mclean men. Had the city
voted as it was accustomed to in past
presidential and state election years
Mclean would have had four more
votes from this county. AS it was
he received the vote OF Senator Bart
lett.
It was stated in inner Republican
circles at Hartford yesterday that
King would be consulted by both
Congressman Hill and Senator Nc
Lean on patronage affecting Fairfield
county as soon as Mclean takes his
seat.
That the success of Mclean fore
shadows the downfall Of Brandegee
four years hence was the dope the
insiders were handing out yesterday.
It was pointed out that Brandegee
has been against Mclean and allied
with Bulkeley and that the Mclean
men, flushed with victory. feel they
have had to beat Brandegee as well
as Bulkeley and therefore they are
going to perfect their organization for
four years hence .sssre 5. -
It was freely predicted at &he capi-
tol yesterday that the Mclean forces
would favor Hill over Brandegee. and
