BIG AUTO TRUCK
STUCK IN FRANKLIN MUD.
Has Been Stalled Since Wednesday
and Has Sunk Till Body 10 on the
Ground Under Three-T Ton Load.

Automobiles Who have ventured
much outside the city in the past week
report the country roads in the worst
possible condition for travel and not
q few have been stalled in the heavy
going. The worst case reported is that
Of the big automobile truck of L. e.
Harris, which has been stuck since
Wednesday on Franklin Hill with q
direction load of valuable furniture
aboard. At last reports 1t had sunk
till the body rested on the mud Of the
road and Mr.. Harris was to make an
attempt to get it out with horses.
The truck started on Wednesday for
Hartford with load of furniture be-
longing to Henry e. Norton Of Broad
street, the roads having frozen enough
to make the going look good. On
Franklin Hill, about seven miles this
side of Willimantic, the truck began
to break through, and in trying to get
out smashed q cog. This caused a
delay and while new parts were being
secured successive rains came on, soft
entng up the road and allowing the
truck with It's load to settle till it
finally rested comfortably but help
1essly nat on the mud. Extra cover
ings have been taken up to protect the
furniture az much as possible until
the truck gets loose again.
Two Norwich machines which start
ed for here from Hartford on Satur-
day were still on the road somewhere
between the two cities on Monday.

power car was stalled for a considera-

ALLEGED SPIES
TAKEN AT HAMBURG.
Five Men Showed Too Much interest
in German Shipyards.

Hahburg, March 20.-Five persons,
including one foreigner, are under ar
rest, charged with espionage. The for
eigner had been for some time under
close observation by government de-
tectives while passing back and forth
between Hamburg and Bermen, where
ten warships of all types are under
various stages of construction. He was
suspected of attempting to establish
relations with the shipyard employees.
special detective sent from Berlin to
investigate the case placed the foreign
er and others under arrest.
It is asserted that a second foreigner
managed to elude the detectives during
their operations. Four of the prison
ers are shipyard employees, and they
are accused of supplying Information
about the wsarships.
Sof ar as can be ascertained the
discriminating material found is not of
a grave character. but the. police are
unusually reticent. Conflicting reports
ara current regarding the nationality OF
the prisoners. 1t is alleged in some
quarters that the chief spy is an Eng
lishman. This is denied elsewhere
but it is admitted by officials of the
marine department that he is an Eng
lishman

MONTREAL TORIES CALL HEARST
PECULIARLY DANGEROUS DEGENERATE

advent of about thirty young mon
apparently organized for a big frolic,
completed the confusion, and, in dis
gust, the mass meeting of the even
ing had to be abandoned. The last
seen of the chairman of the Conserv-
ative gathering was when he was
shaking a fist in the direction of the
opposition meeting, and shouting that
votes, not noise, count on the twenty
first.
Violence Threatened.
Only once in the evening was there
any danger of violence. When the
main meeting was disbanded a thou
sand of its members made a rush for
the band of young men responsible
for much of the disorder. Being so
far outnumbered and believing dis
erection the better part of valor, they
retreated at a very nimble pace.
Although the rally was very late in
beginning, everything was concluded
shortly after half-past nine o'clock,
but the crowd fingered on the field
unwilling to depart when so much
was doing"
The platform from which the
speeches were delivered bore such
banners as Protection in 1873, Now
and Always" LET us keep our
Profits" Keep the profits for the
Canadians" 'Vive lie Protection de
1878"
In opening the meeting the chair
man, Mr.. Papineau Matthew, clearly
stated the object of the assembly, to
protest against the entrance of Will
liam Randolph Hearst into this cam
paign.
Foreign Intrusion Resented.
Mr.. F. S. McLennan went a step in
advance of the chairman's position
when he declared they were assem-
bled to show the United States and
Liberalism that Canada resented the
intrusion of the foreigner. Canadians
were quite capable of settling their
own problems, and would not tolerate
the introduction into Canada Of
methods with which Mr.. Hearst was
too familiar. President Taft had said
we were at the parting of the ways,
and was hoping that Canadian trade
would be with the United States
rather than with the Old Land

STOLE
MONA LISA

PARIS, Sept 9.-Paul Strauss prints
a story in the Figaro to the effect that
a famous English gentleman burglar"
friend of the late Pat Sheedy, stole
the Mona Lisa" Adam Worth stole
Gainsborough's portrait of the Duchess
Of Devonshire, the story of which is
well known. Everything about the
theft of LA Joconde" would seem to
indicate, Strauss says, the hand Of
Adam Worth.
The only eye-witnesses say that the
thief was man about so, with thin
features and a. sight figure, under the
average height The description fits
Worth. The officials of the Ministry
of Fine Arts, the examining magls-
trate, Project Lepine, and NJ. Hamard,
the chief of detectives, all agree that
it is probable that Worth is the thief
The masterful manner of Worth is
recognized in the fact that the thief is
not satisfied with the rewards offered
and wants to deal with the govern
ment directly The theory is that
Worth, after stealing the picture,
crossed the bride and turned to the
left along the Seine to the old Mar
ais quarter, where in a friendly house
he took off his disguise of a workman
and dressed as a gentleman.
Then he took the noon train for Lon
don, where he arrived before the po-
lice had been notified of the theft of
the picture.

MORTAL ANGEL
HAS BAD FALL

LONDON, Sept. 11.-Hubert, one
of the aviators of the Aerial Postal
Service inaugurated by the British
postoffice last Saturday, met with a
bad accident this morning, and only
the mail bags which the flying post
man was carrying from Hendon to
Windsor Castle saved him from an
almost certain death.
Hubert had just got away from
Hendon with two hundred pounds Of
mail when the machinery of his aero
plane went wrong, and the machine
crashed to the earth, burying the
aviator under a mass of debris.
Hubert's both legs were broken,
and he suffered other injuries, but
the mail bags on top him acted as a
buffer, and saved him from being
crushed to death by the weight of the
engine.

ARTILLERY co
AROUND OAHU

On Thursday at an early hour Gen
eral Macomb and his staff, left head
quarters and proceeded on horseback
to the pail, where the Second Batta-
lion of the First Field Artillery was
met. The whole party then marched
to Fort Shafter, where last night was
spent in camp. This morning the
Field Artillery proceeded to Schofield
Barracks and thus completed the cir
cult of Oahu.
The Field Artillery left Schofield
Barracks some days ago and has been
on the road since. The guns were, of
course, taken along, and although
there was no forced marching, a good
pace was maintained for the whole
journey.
The officers accompanying General
Macomb were Captain Carter and
Lieutenant Andrews.

.SHINGLE NAY OFFER TO RAISE
THE $4,000 FOR BISHOP Street

Union street and. Garden lane. He
has intimated that he expects to
make a proposition to the Governor
on the matter within a few days.
This proposition, it is believed will
have to do with raising the $4,000,
which the government has not avail
able, should IL decide to nut the
street through en- the terms recon-
mended by the commission.
Mr.. Shingle points out that delay
in accepting a proposition Of the
Srreckel's estate year or more ago
cost the Territory just S19,999 more
than it would have cost. TO put the
street through from Merchant to
Queen, a right of way having been
offered originally for one dollar.
Another year, he thinks, will make
a much greater difference than this
in the cost of getting the street
through to Beretania street.
In the meantime, Mr.. Single
points out, the Brewer estate is be-
ing held up in the matter of getting
its proposed building MP on the cor
ner of Hotel and Union streets, on
account Of the uncertainty concern
ing this last named thoroughfare.
II is expected that the Governor
will make known his decision in the
matter before long, but in the mean
time most of the other interested
rarties and the general public are

There has been a lull for the past
few days in the Bishop street extern
siop proposition. Since the Governor
received the report from the special
commission appointed to study the
matter, everybody seems to be stand
ing pat and waiting for someone to
make a move. Governor Frear has
in two or three instances taken occa-
sion to remark on the fact that the
values claimed by the property own
ers, and allowed by the commission,
are very much out of proportion to
the assessed valuation, which, under
the law, is supposed to represent the
true value of the property.
r. w. Single, who has been a sort
of godfather to the Bishop street
opening movement ever since the
Federal government required the
southwark extension of the street as
a condition for the acceptance of the
Mahuka site for the Federal build
ing, is still busy in the matter Of
pushing the street through the other
way He is inclined to think that tho
Territory should stretch a point if
necessary, on the ground that DELAY
is likely to make the cost even
greater than the $4,000 difference
between the value placed on the pri-
vate property needed for the street,
and the property of the government
which will be available for placing on
the market through the closing OF
