THANKSGIVING DAY SET.
Will Come on Nov. 30 Despite the Ob
 jections Made by Bankers.

Washington. Aug. 12.-President Taft will designate Thursday. Nov, 30, as Thanksgiving Day this year. It always has been the custom to set the last Thursday in the month, but this year there had been some doubt, be- cause November happened to include five instead of four Thursdays.
 The White House has been besieged with theatrical managers and those in charge of college football games to settle the doubt, so that definite ar engagements could be made for the usual arrangements of special per- formances and sports that mark the day.
 Bankers throughout the country were said to be anxious that the Pres ident should designate Nov. 23 as Thanksgiving Day. They said that the designation of Nov. 30 as a legal holiday would seriously interfere with their work, inasmuch as the law re- quires National banks to make their statements to the Treasury Depart ment on the first day of each month, and a holiday falling on the last of the month would be most inconveni- ent.

TOOK ALIAS TO SAVE PULPIT, MINISTER SAYS.
 BUT WIFE THINKS NOT

One of the most sensational divorce cases to come up in Reno courts in a long time was that of Rev. John Cronenberger, heard by Judge Averils on March F.
 The Cronenbergers were married at Bucyrus, Ohio, ten years ago, when the husband entered the ministry. Two years later they came West, where he filled pulpits in Colorado and Phoenix, Ariz. Domestic differences began at Phoenix, according to Mrs. Cronenberger, who charged her hus- sband with being unduly friendly with the soprano member of the choir in the Christian church.
 A separation occurred in October. 1909, Mrs. Cronenberger going back to her Ohio home with her two children, and the husband going to Santa Bar bara, Cal. From there he went to Santa Anna, assuming pastoral charge of a church in that city under the name of Rev. George High.
 Cronenberger said that he covered his identity for the purpose of say ing the ministry from disgrace" but his wife declared through her attor- neys that he adopted the alias in order to carry on his clandestine rela- tions with the Phoenix society girl and church worker.

Motorboat Must Be
 Silent at Half Mile

New London, Aug.-State policeman Wheeler rode up in front of the police station on his little red motorcycle last evening. It was his first visit there since the recent automobile crusade. He shook hands with lieu tenant and other officers and inquired for the general welfare of the com munity.
 '.I want to get some information, 9 said Lieut.. Jeffers. ..I've got a mo- tor boat and I would like to know whether I'm likely to get arrested for not having the exhaust properly muffled. What is the exact condition that must exist to be safe from ar rest?
 Ask me something easy,'' said the genial state cop, with a smile.
 Well, how do you know when to make an arrest?' asked the officer.
 '1ll tell you. If we can hear the boat half mile off we believe that it isn't properly untitled. That's about al1.'

They ''Prayed'' Their Burglar
 Into Captivity

New York, Aug. 12-William B. Will son, alias William Davenport, an ex- convict with a long police record, who, 1t is said, is West Point graduate and the son of a rich widow, was ar
 rested last night on a burglary charge
 with Charles Hoffman, son of John Hoffman, owner of the Hoffman rathskeller at Thirty-fourth street and Broadway They were locked up in police headquarters.
 Hoffman, the police say, confessed that he, Wilson, and third man, had robbed the Wanamaker hairdressing shop above his fathers place of busi- ness, on the night of August 2. They got hair valued at $8,000. This estab- lishment is owned by Mrs. O. I. Coyle, a woman of means, who lives at No. A Lenox avenue.
 She Is devout follower of the New Thought. After the arrests she went to the police station and said New Thought was responsible for catching the burglars. She said that after the burglary she hurried to her friend, Mrs. Julia Seton Sears, head of the New Thought here.
 Their Minds Did It. 'It was agreed we should appeal to the New Thought Mrs. Coyle said. ''We concentrated our minds on this thing, and what we desired has come to pass.'
 Mrs. Coyle did not want to take any credit for the arrests from the police She said she was very much obliged to them.
 While Mrs. Coyle talked the two prisoners were in the captains room.
 Thence they were taken ito police headquarters and locked up. The detectives became suspicious of young Hoffman several days ago, and
 on Wednesday, when he joined Will son and the two iourneyed to Hack ensack and Elizabeth, they were shadowed. The detectives learned that the two had samples of human
 hair, which were shown to dealers. Hoffman was entering his room last night when Capt. Funston and De- tective Becker grabbed him. In his suit case were large quantities of hu- man hair. After he had talked Tn the police station Detectives Hyams
 and Marron were sent for Wilson. He
 was in his room. but refused to open
 the door. The detectives broke :n
 and there was hard fight before the
 former West Pointer was subdued.
 Detectives also were sent for the third
 man, but he was not found. The
 police version of Hoffman's story
 runs:
 Fooled His Grandfather.
 '"The first time I met Wilson and the third man was about ten days ago. was tin bad at home and had to have money. The robbery was planned. It was the scheme to have me get in conversation with my grandfather, who keeps an eye on the house at night, and while I talked with him Wilson and the other man would slip into the hair parlor and make cleanup.
 'It was easy for me to get the old man interested in my talk. I kept 1Hf fOr 1ol Wilson and the other man slip out of the door. Then I said good night. It was all easy, except getting rid of the hair
 The stolen hair was kept in glass cases. The burglars left their in ger prints on the glass and next day photographs of these were made. The prints were compared with the f1n- gers of every employee in the estab lishment, but without success. Last night it was shown, the police said, that Wilson had made some of the finger prints.

 Victor H. Olmstead. chief Of the bu- reau of statistics of the department of agriculture, in his tobacco report dated July 1, but just made public, says that the New England acreage this year is per cent. larger than that of last year.
 Plants, he says. were more plenti- full, but on account of cool weather in the first part of May were not so ear ly as last season, and planting be- gan later.
 Because of abundant moisture and favorable weather transplanting was pushed rapidly and finished about the same time as in 1910.
 Some damage was done by cut worms and wire worms, but replant- ing was prompt and a good stand secured.
 was conducive to rapid and uniform growth, the prospect is for one of the best crops produced in several years
 The 1000 acres in shade-grown to- bacco, he says. represents a four-fold increase over the area of the previous year. There has also been a small increase in the broad-leaf acreage, but a falling off in Havana seed.
 The acreage for Connecticut is giv- en as 1400O and the condition as 96 per cent which is one per cent. above1 the average for the last ten years.
