FLAMES FRANCE
 FOR STARTING THE WAR.

Berlin, Oct 10-Fulf responsibility for the Turko-I Italian war was placeo, today, by a high official of the Ger man Foreign office at Frances door. Astonished at the apparent impression in the United States that the Father land Was behind Italy's declaration of hostilities, this fuEctionary, whose po- sition is so important as to give his utterance practically official signifi- canoe, gave the United Press the fol- lowing interview. today, as means of setting his country right with the American public: 1
 tThe government is astounded to learn of the conclusions and impress sions on the part of the American press that Germany is principally re- sponsible for declaration of war be- tween Turkey and Italy. Not Agadir but the breaking of Algerciras con- tracts by France in sending an expedi- tion to Fez, is responsible for the sit uation. Italy feared the further az gression and expansion Of France in North Africa and determined to secure for herself the only remaining piece of North African coast-Tripoli.
 The situation in Europe became France virtually purchased Morocco from England and Italy by giving up all claims to the two remaining prov inces-Egypt and Tripoli. Assured, therefore, that England and France would place no obstacles in the way of acquiring Tripoli, Italy determined upon the action it has taken. st
 Germany, did not initiate it, had no part in it, was not informed until too late, and, therefore, strongly de- clines to accept responsibility for the war and the possible consequences that it may entail to the peace of Europe. Germany is energetically working for the quick restoration of peace"

HERRING PLAN IS
 BEATEN

Good news comes to the people of Bridgeport as the result of the latest hearing on the Herring Sewer system, proposed to tho Common Cuncil, Sept. Il, 1908, by the Sewas Commission of the City of Bridgeport, which report ed that the city's method of sewage disposal was so ineffective that it would be necessary to-
 Install main interceptors, pumping stations and outfalls to the sound-at once-at an immediate cost of $1.75O,- GOO. to be expended over a period of five years.
 And in the 'early future addition al works to cost $1,444.2 .261.25 making a total confessed proposed expenditure of g, 1895, ,057.45, which is nearly $50 per person in Bridgeport.
 This is the original Herring proposi- tion, But the figures dp not include $5G0,000 that it would cost households CTS to make double connections, nor s500,0O0 as the estimated cost of oys- ter beds, nor a very large sum for interest on bonds.
 For three years powerful and in- fluential element has fought to se- cure, the adoption of this plan, in whole, and then by piece meal.
 But the end of this proposition to expend not far from $6, ,000 900 upon sewers came finally, last night, when a proposition by the supporters of the amended Herring plan, signed state ment to the council, which amounts to a complete admission that the cam paign to spend immediately $1,750,000 and in the near future s1,144, 900 on sewers was a serious error.
 This statement is signed by three men who were members of the Sewer Commission ,and their position now is that an expenditure of $450,000 will correct all the sewer conditions that need to be cared for within few years and that "the annual cost of building sewers ought not to be greater in the future than t has been in the past.
 Thus is the threat of a six million dollar extrayagance lifted out of the municipal future.
 This statement signed by former members of the sewer commission and the leading advocates of the original Herring plan, with some others, im- mediately reduced the point in Issues between themselves and the opponents of the Herring plan to be a very sim pie issue.
 MT. Goodsell's position now is that gentlemen who confess that they err ed when they advised the city to spend millions for sewers, may still be in error when they advise the abarl- donment of the Schofe1d sewer plan for the amended sewer 1lan.

Saloons And Debauchery
 Al Siale Fairs
{ (Special from united Press.l

Special from United Press.)
 Wolcott, Conn, Oct. 10.-The last of the 4Agriculturar' fairs in this section will open, today. Consider able opposition has developed around the state against the immortality of the midways and the debauchery in the saloons accompanying such "agri- culturar' fairs.
 The objections raised here are an echo of the opposition that recently developed in the western part of the state to the Danbury fair.
 Liquor was sold in open violation of the law there, it is claimed, and under protection of the police. The fair management reaped a golden harvest from special saloon permits The large number of female prosti- tutes at the Danbury fair was re- marked also. S
 That the old country fair is gone for all time is regretfully admitted by the stolid farmers of this section. The modern "agriculturar' fairs are not agricultural in any sense accord ing to these men. What products and cattle are exhibited are said to be merely an excuse and a respec- table blind for the immoral midway.

 Suspecting that this must be A. l.. Riker's car, stolen at midnight, Supt. Birmingham accompanied by PatroI- men Ffnnegan and Wagner and Detec- tive Arnold, visited the scene and found the wrecked car. which proved to be MT. Riker's as supposed.
 Motorcycle Policemen Gorgas and Dailey were at once called into aid. and went from house to house along the road seeking traces of the occu- pants of the car, who, it was sup posed. must have been injured in the crash, so bad was the wreck. In the meantime the other searchers formed a cordon and beat through the woods in the immediate vicinity on the SUD- position that the automobile thieves might be in hiding nearby.
 The search proved fruitless for the time being, but the police Will keep It up. The two motnrcx1ale- policemen who examined the wreck very careful ly are of the opinion that the occu- pant or occupants of the car must have been at least very badly shaken up and bruised in the crash, if not more seriously injured.
 A peculiar feature of the whole af- fair is the fact that the car Is very much out of the ordinary and there is only one other like it in existence. The thief must have been familiar with it's workings, and this gives the police a clue.

Flashing q wireless bulletin among his many henchmen throughout the city and sending his employees in the office of secretary of state into Bridgeport to take a hand in the dis trict fights, Secretary of State Mat thew B. Rogers took an active hand today in the Republican mayoralty mixlup and enlisted his strength in support of the candidacy of Thomas Asuold, Jr., former senator, former aspirants for the Republican mayor alty nomination.
 Rogers chief clerk, Attorney Elmer H. Lounsbury, and the head of the automobile registration of the state Arthur Fifoot, the former still resi- dent of this city. the latter now an elector of Hartford, appeared on the battlefield today. Both went to work in the interests of Arnold
 But preliminary arrangements had been made yesterday and last even ing word reached the King camp that the hostile delegation in the Ninth district, headed by Former Al dernan Frederick w. Tomlinson, had swung around to the Arnold follow ing.
 Tomiinson and his associates were on a delegate ticket that was orfgi- nally pledged to the candidacy of Coroner Clifford B. Wilson. But when word reached the Ninth the latter part of the week that an understand ing had been effected between King and Wilson, the tlatter's followers were furious, and none more so than Tomlinson. tf
 Wilson's strength throughout the city and particularly in the excep- tionally independent Ninth district lay in his supposed hostility to King and his organization. When it was intimated that King would support Wilson. Wilson's followers declared they wouldn't stand for It. Not only did Tomlinson refuse point blank to lie down to the King ticket, but he soon announced that he would give proof of his having a will of his own. The announcement of the delega- tion's supporting Arnold last night came in consequence of this situation.
