P, J. McGu're Is
 Granted Transfer l
For First Time in Many Years Commissioners AL low New Saloon in Greg ory Street.

After years of effort P. J. Mcclure has obtained permission to open a saloon at Columbia and Gregory Sts. The county commissioners this morn ing granted McGuire transfer of a license from 1911 Main street to 447 Gregory street. All efforts to locate saloons in this territory within the past 20 years have failed because of the opposition of manufacturers.
 McGuire has been very anxious to open a place in a territory which is expected to prove so profitable. Through his counsel, Attorney Jacob B. Klein, he claimed the ighbor- hood had charged within recent years and that there was no longer any req son why ti.e commissioners should de- clare the vicinity unsuitable for a li- cense.
 At the hearing before the commits sioners a large number of property owners appeared in favor of the li- cense. One reason why they favored a saloon in Gregory street was that such a place would prevent the pro- cession of ''growler parties'' marching to Park avenue to get the foaming beverage. The Malleable Iron Co. and other manufacturers are opposed to the license being granted It is ex- pected they will take the case on ap- peal to the superior court.

 The executive board of the club met in New Haven several days ago and selected Bridgeport as the most like ly spot for this years banquet. The arrangements are as yet incomplete.

HORSE TURNS
 S0MERShUlT
 INTO TROLLEY
Unique Accident at Main and -CCn.ress Street Delays Tfai- fife of Main Street Cars Held up m Long Line Whi.e Wreche- Ex TIC 2tes Animal F om its Unique POs:- tion Little injured

A collision between trolley car and horse, unparalleled for uniqueness, tied up trolley traffic in both direc- tions at Main and Congress street as the crowds wereI on their way to the theatres.
 Not until wrecking car had been brought from the car barns in Con- gress street, and the double truck trolley car. had been jacked up, was the horse eAtricated, and it was found that the animal had escaped almost unscathed. None was hurt.
 The horse, drawing a light business wagon owned by E. Densico of 745 East Main street, was jogging at an easy trot down Main street, past Congress street, when, as it approach ed the foot of Chapel street the anil nal lost it's footing. Slipping upon the pavement, and impelled by the momentum of the wagon, the animal reared up on it's hind legs as it bore down upon the trolley car. Turn ing backward somersault just as the collision occurred, the animal drove both hind legs into the little aperture above the car springs and below the wooden body of the car.
 The trolley car was running at a fairly good pace, but had just begun to slow for the Congress street cor ner. The motorman damned on his brakes, but the car slipped along the damp rails almost to the switch point, dragging the animal --lFof, =-its-bdck, with it's hind legs firmly pinioned in the truck.
 The wagon was left pretty we'll de- molished but the horse strove repeat edly to free himself. Several times pedestrians as we'll as passengers on the car and the crew tried to approach to help extricate the animals legs. but lr-E II IA perilous for them to approach.
 Seeing the futility of striving t. free the horse without mechanical aid the crew promptly summoned the wreckers. The skilled wrecking crew took in the situation at a glance. thrust a powerful jack beneath the body of the car and lifted it far enough to allow the animal to kick its hind legs free Then they got the horse on it's feet and though it limp ed considerably. it was able to walk, to Dr. Martins veterinary stables.
 Meanwhile cars in all directions at the busy (corner were crowded in long strings, and many pedestrians, tired of waiting had walked up to inveSti- gate the peculiar mishap.
 To add to the confusion, one of the crowd started the story that a won1- an had thrust her baby beneath the car. and this tale spread quickly the crowd increasing it's cur iosity. Several policemen were kept busy forcing a pathway through the crowds that filled the walks.

residents of the vicinity who claim they heard q boys cries in the woods on Saturday night, after the disa1- pearance. Confirming a suspicion that nas been in the minds of the police, they are bending every effort toward locating the Robins child, dead or alive
 Alexander Robins disappeared from his home at Ss6 East Main street, Saf- urday morning, and has not been seen since.

Weeps When She Speaks About Bus
Mrs. Geo. Welterlen Doesn t Think the Animal Bit
 Henry Harris

Tears filled the eyes of Mrs. George weiterlen as she told jury in the court of Common Pleas, this morning, how Henry Harris had thrown stones at her dog Mrs. Y elterlen, who lives in York street, was a witness for her husband, the owner of the dog which is said to have bitten Harris. The latter wants $500 damages for the bite
 Mrs. welterlen declared she didn't think the dog bit Harris. At the time of the trouble she wanted Harris to show the wound and declared her willingness to pay for doctor if there were any injuries. The witness said the plaintiff made the dog mad by throwing stones.
 Harris is 77 years old. He claims that on October 29, 1910, he was b t. ten while crossing a lot near the Vel terlen property. The witness said the animal attacked him three times and finally knocked him down.
 The trial was still going on at press hour.

Or6cted that arguments on the WTit off habeas corpus continue.
 Chicago, Nov 16.-About 50,o00.- 900 dollars worth of beef packing g house magnates waited with appre- henSive mien, today, when Uncle Sam's prosecutors strove to fasten the poor mans justice on them and make them stand imm mediate trial for crim- inal conspiracy in restraint of trade. A brand new legal entanglement was awaiting decision, today, by Cir cult Judge C.p c Kohlsaat-the last desperate technicality raised by the beef barons to gain time in the fight against possible jail terms. Judge Kohlsaat has already held that he can review the decision of district judge in his own circuit-a new pre- cedent in the law.
 Today, the question upon which Judge Kohlsaat ruled was as to the constitutionality of the penal provis- ion of the Sherman antitrust Law. In the writ of habeas corpus, counsel for the packing house magnates separate the question of fact-that of a conspiracy to monopolize trade in meat and packing house products generally-from the question of law that is, whether the penal section of the Sherman act to regulate con- merce is valid. and constitutionally law Is defective in that it does not set up any standard by which viola ton may be measured and that it is
 indefinite.
 Only the Supreme Court of the United States can settle the ques- ton with finality. But adjudication of the issue in the highest court will take at least a year. Therefore, the government prosecutors, today. went into court hoping against hope that they would be able to forestan an ap- peal to that tribunal until after ac- tual trial on the question of fact and law-set for Mondey--had been be- gun. In this way, the appeal would go to the highest court in connection with the appeal in the case proper.

SURRENDER OF ENTIRE

 REBELS NOW REPORTED

continue the government as a mon archy it will be so limited in it's power as to take the form more near ly of the English government thar ahy other
 The Manchu dynasty, appreciating the inevita ble, has agreed to the course, public intimation of which comes direct from Yuan Shi Kai, to whom the Prince Regent and Dow ager Empress have appealed to save them from the revolution which is sweeping the Manchu rulers from them.
 Ostensibly the men will represent all interests. As a matter of fact they are all aoherentS of Yuan and may be relied upon 10 do exactly as he wills. Basis. for the belief that a limited monarchy is favored is shown in a statement given out by Yuan's private secretary, with Yuan's per mission. In this 1t is declared that Yuan is convinced that very limit ed monarchy is better for the Chinese people than republic, but that he will abide by the decision of the dele gates. Should Yuan be playing a double game he can easily force the delegates to urge him to become pres ident and he is pledged to abide by their decision
 Yuan further is quoted by his sec retary as declaring his belief that the Congress he has summoned to meet here will reach an understanding with the dissatisfied provinces This i9 taken in some quarters to mean that the rebels of the army are strong enough so that whatever plan is decided upon will be agreeable to athe rebel leaders.
