Peck Liked Ladies
Barber, on Stand, Tells of Visits
 of Elderly Nan to His Shop

New Haven, Oct. 24-Further testi- mony to the effect that the late Burr s. Peck was more than ordinarily at tentive to the ladies was given at the hearing on the contest of his will by Hoffmann Hagenstein, a barber. in the probate court yesterday afternoon. Hagenstein shaved Peck for years and said on the stand that Peck spent most of the time in his company eX- plating on the charms of various young ladies he had met He even went so far On one occasion as to ad- init to Hagenstein about a year after his marriage to May Bryan that he was acquainted with woman in Westville, to whom he gave presents of money.
 Hagenstein also told of alleged fond ness on Peck's part for several pretty nurses who happened to be in the house attending his first wife at one time. Peck had also told him that he had not got along very we'll with his wife and that she didn't treat him right all the while.
 Dr. Gustavus Eliot was also on the stand yesterday afternoon to testify to various strange actions by Peck. The attorneys had rather acrid ar gumehtt over the question of sub poenaing witnesses Attorney Isbell claimed that Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. May Peck's aunt, had refused to accept the service of a subpoena on Sunday night at her home. Consequently one was served as she entered court yes- terday morning. Attorney Matthew Reynolds claimed that this was an attempt to insult her.
 Judge Lockwood ruled that Attor- ney Isbell may cross-eXamine Attor- ney Carl Mears, who drew up the wills, as to Pecks actions and state ment at that time but may not ask him on any other points. Attorney Mears, as Peck's lawyer, is privileged on all matters except this.

German Scholars
 To Be Organized
Important Movement Started in New Haven May Become
 Nation Wide

New Haven, Oct. 24-An important movement of especial interest to Ger man people has just been started here and is explained in the announcement printed in German. The movement has in view the organization of so- ciety composed of graduates or former members of the higher schools, acad emies and universities of Germany. It is explained by those interested in the movement that the German peo- pie here have their lodges and socie- ties of various kinds but no orgam- zation that provides information as to the arts and higher learning. The movement is a most worthy one and is to be State wide and later national. One important thing that such so- ciety could do at once would be the announcement of information regard ing exchange professors between Yale and the German universities. These exchange professors represent the highest intelligence of both countries but it would seem that the German people have not taken advantage or the lectures which probably has been due to the need of a society such as is now proposed.

NEW CRUSADE ON DRUGGISTS
Four Arrests by New Haven Police For Sale of Liquor
 Against the Law

New Haven, Oct 24-FOur local re- tail druggists have been arrested for selling liquor without prescription on warrants issued by Liquor Prose cutor Hubert L. Dickerman, who has decided to start a campaign against this form of illicit traffic. The druggists arrested were: Otto c. Marx, of 491 Chapel street Charles A. Stanford, 84 Winchester avenue.
 Genarro Tetrucci, s41 Grand ave- nue.
 Egfdio Ferraioli, 15 Brown street.
 MT. Marx is one of the best known druggists in the city, and in addition to his store on Chapel street has an other one on Howard avenue. It is understood that the alleged evidence in all these cases was secured on Sunday and that the police have se- cured evidence which has been placed before MT Dickerman, on which to base allegations that they sold liquor over the counter without physician s prescription. This is a. direct viola tion of the liquor laws.
 All of the druggists were released last night under bonds of $200 apiece.
 The arersts came as great sur prise as it was not known that any investigation into this traffic was un- der way. Mr. Dickerman, when reach- ed last night, would not discuss the matter. It was intimated, however, from other sources that there might be further arrests.
 It is claimed now that there are many drug stores around the city where it is the practice of selling li- quor, that is whiskey and wines, to persons after 12 o'clock Or on Sun day. The law requires that such sales be made only on doctors prescrip- tion

His Wife EIopes
 With Chauffeur
Norfolk Stirred by Reports of Sensational Midnight Trip
 by Auto

Norfolk, Oct 24-Norfolk is quite stirred up over the disclosure of the supposed elopement on Saturday night of Mrs. Mary O'Connor, wife of sGeorge O'Connor, a we'll known and highly respected resident of Norfolk, and Ru- dolph L. Beinhauer, chauffeur who has been employed by William H. Moseley of New Haven. The couple are said to have taken their departure about midnight in an automobile that Beinhauer had brought up from New Haven for the purpose, and it was not until Sunday morning that O'Connor discovered his wife's absence. She had previously shipped all her person. al effects, quantity of silverware and valuable tea set to New Haven, and in addition she is alleged to have talk en all the money in the house, about $2O0. So far as known no effort has been made to locate them and nothing has been learned of their whereabouts.
 According to information vouched here Mrs. OConnor shipped her trunk as we'll as other packages by express to New Haven Saturday and 1t IS be- lieved that she had every intention of leaving Norfolk herself Saturday af- ternoon had not her, husband unconsci- ously interferred with her plans. She was at the station in time to catch the 4:3S train and she is alleged to have purchased two tickets for the Elm City, but MT. O'Connor was also at the station on business which no doubt caused the pair to change their plans. Beinhauer boarded the train and Mrs O'Connor returned to her home. Bein- hauer went to New Haven and there hired an automobile. On his way back to Norfolk he stopped at a garage in Winsted to replenish his supply or gasoline, arriving here to get Mrs. O'Connor about midnight, it is believ- ed.
 Ms. O'Connor was Miss Mary Pick cit before her marriage and came to Norfolk from Naugatuck. Her par ents reside in New Haven She IS ex- ceptionally attractive.

Sprague Left Strange
 Note In His Saloon
Suicide Tells of Getting Revenge on Thieves Who Have
 Ruined Him

New Haven. Oct 24.-"I have got l revenge on the thieves. They have
 ruined me. May God have mercy on my soul. Good bye
 William B. Sprague.''
 The discovery of the above note on the bar at the saloon formerly run by William B. Sprague at 123 Court street yesterday morning deepened the mystery which has surrounded his sensational suicide on Sunday night 1t the rooms of the Amazon
 note was found by the bar tender for Sprague. when he opened the saloon yesterday morning. The note was in- distinctly written on large sheet of
 fools cap paper and had evidently
 been placed in a conspicuous place so that It would be seen at once. = The meaning of sthe note is not very. plain to the authorities. but gives
 the impression that Sprague had been
 'Heeced'' in some way. The writing
 in the note is so bad that there is
 some question whether the seventh is also considerable doubt whether the third sentence reads: May Goa
 have mercy on my soul''' or May
 God have mercy on their soulS." The purport of the message is suffici- ently plain. however. to start an in-
 vestiga tion by the police.
 The statement of Mrs. Sprague,
 the dead mans wife, that he hao
 $200 on him on Sunday morning,
 when he left home, leads to a theory that he may have lost a. great quan-
 tity of it gambling.
 The note was turned over to Pa trolman Billy Welch by Girdley
 immedia tely upon discovering it. It was stated last night that there were no officers of the Amazon Social
 club, as the members had not yet got together enough to elect them. The club rooms were dramatically
 closed up last night. It was also claimed last night by one who was at the club room Sunday night that Sprague did not lose any money there.
 The note must have been left In
 the saloon on Sunday afternoon, as
 the bartender was there at noon am
 the note was not there then. The police have taken up an <in- vestigation of the case on account of the sugg estion of the loss of money by the dead man. Although they spent much time on the case yester- day TO clue as to the whereabouts of the money which Sprague had Sun-
 day was secured. Regarding the club the police are very reticent. It is
 said it has only been in existence, at least at it's present location, since the middle of last week.

Waterbury, Oct. 24 - Connecticut hopes to oust Rhode Island this year from the honor of supplying Presi- dent Taft's table with Thanksgiving trukey. A local farmer has an es- pecially attractive and supposedly toothsome gobbler which already weighs nearly thirty pounds, and which will take on added weight un- der the special training of the weeks to come. It is being fed on a diet of blended cereals mixed with nuts, wild rice, and wild celery, steeped in sweet wines. This diet is expected to produce a piquant taste, something like a combination of Scotch Quni1 and American woodcock.
