TAFT will be prevented OF reelection
by the election of the right Democrat.
If they came and asked us who that
Democrat should be, we would not
too confidently name him from among

From figures just compiled in
Maine it appears that citizens OF the
Pine Tree State care little for venison.
Perhaps. however. the unsanitary
methods OF exhibition, now commonly
employed, Is without its appeal to the
citizens appetite. In the 500 odd cities
and towns of the State but "a markets
handled venison, which shows the de-
mand 90 be slight These "a markets
are distributed among q cities and
towns. But two places have more than
two markets dealing in game, Bangor
with six and Houlton with three. It
requires but two licensed dealers in
venlson to supply the annual demand
of the city of Portland, while a single
one takes care of the wants of Auburn
and Lewiston in this line. There are
six places, Portland, Skowhegan, Ma
chias, Bingham. Old Town and Belfast,
which have two licensed dealers in
yenison. the remainder of the l. other
than Bangor and Houlton have one
each.

The town of Turner has turned its
apple crop into cash. Fifteen thous-
and barrels of fine fruit. such as the
farmers of that region know how to
grow, has been sold and the money
received Most of the shipments We're
made over the electric railway, by way
of Auburn. The average price received
was $1.15, a few barrels selling for
81. SO and some for over 50 a barrel; the
crop was mostly Baldwins, Spies and
Greetings. Many of the growers claim
that apples and small fruits are better
to handle and an easier way of getting
money than by handling other farm
products. Its advantage, they claim,
is that in the winter season the farm
er is free from farm duties of con-
fining nature. and can take some time
to enjoy himself, and get away from
the farm. which he cannot do if he
handles stock or runs milk route.
Anyway. it would seem that Aroostook
towns have rival for this year s

TrolIeynen Scoff !, Al Story About
 Talking ''Strike''
Meeting Last Night Called to Consider Increase in
 Sick Benefit Dues

Members of the local Trolleymen's Union were expressing themselves this morning as being surprised to read organ that they were contemplating a strike and were disgruntled because some of their members had been laid off for a number of days as punish ment for shortcomings in the per formance of their duties. The arti- cle stated that a meeting called for midnight last night was to consider the cases of the punished members of the union.
 A member of the union said this morning: .The meeting was called for the purpose of considering an increase in the amount of sick benefits paid by the organization. There was abso- lutely no strike talk. It must have been a dry day yesterday in the office of one of the newspapers.
 ''It is true that Supt Chapman re- gently had 34 men 'on the carpet It was his semi-annlaal clean up. The superintendent holds all the complaints he receives from the inspectors until he gets batch of them, and then he calls them together. The major ity of the men got off with a repri- mand while a few who were charged with carelessness that might result seriously to the riding public were laid off for 30 days. This cleanup Of employees is expected every fall, for the company then takes off a number of men as there are fewer runs in the winter than the summer because of the falling off in the riding
 Just say for me, there will be no strike right away and that there has not been the slightest whisper about strike.''

Body Of D. B. Young Taken To Boyhood
 Home For Burial

Attended by hundreds of friends in- cluding members of the Ellks, Algon- quin Club, and Masonic organizations, as we'll as numerous others in all walks of life, funeral services over the remains of DeForest B. Young, or Tommy Young as his friends called him, whose memory will ever be cher ished by those intimately acquainted with him, and they were legion, were held last evening at o'clock at the mortuary chapel of Henry E. Bishop in Fairfield avenue. Long before the hour of service there was a constant flow of humanity passing in and out of the chapel, all acquaintances of the young man, whose life had been so suddenly terminated
 Rev E. J. Craft, rector of Christ Episcopal church, officiated at the ser- vices and delivered a touching eulogy on the life of the young man. Dur ing the service a quartet rendered several appropriate hymns and were joined by the assemblage With the completion of the religious services the fraternal organizations with which he was connected exepplifed their different rituals.
 The remains were taken to the home of his parents in Cobleskill, N Y., on the TAO train this morning, accom- panied by his father, DeForest B. Young, ST., and his brother, Percy Young, both of whom reached this city yesterday morning.

Two Murderers Now Mixed Up In
 SextupIe Crime
Especial from United Press )

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. B. The Burnham and Wayne families were not slain by madman. Two murderers, instead of one, participat ed in the sextuple crime, according to Police Commissioner Himebaugh New evidence unearthed within the last twenty-four hours has thrown an entirely new light on the case he de- clares.
 Two young girls, Helen Young, Is, and a companion named May, fur nished the evidence. The girls were kept at the police station all night and their examination resumed, to- day. One of the girls said she heard a man named Harry" whose last name she does not know, admit that he and another had killed Henry Wayne on account of some financial difficulty.
 q heard the man say: Yes, we killed him'.' declared the girl. "He told Wayne that if he did not give the money back he would kill him.
 Himebaugh's theory is that liar ry' and his associate, went to the Wayne home and murdered Wayne and his family first then recalling Mrs. Burnham's threat to expose them if they committed the crime, went to the Burnham home and killed the three members of that family, to pre- vent Mrs. Burnham notifying the au- thorities.
 Himebaugh says A. J. Burnham is not connected with this theory in any way and he expects he will be re- leased from custody.

 Wylie left Washington yesterday and is now in New York city. It i1 expected that he will remain there until Mrs. Wylie, who is now in Eur ope with her three children, returns.
 Meanwhile speculation is rife con- cerning Philip Hichborn, who last March threatened to divorce his wife. The threat was made at the time that Wylie and Mrs. Hichborn returned from.

Torrington, Sept a3-Citizens of different political faiths. this morn ing, started to obtain the necessary permission from the General Assem- ply 10 use the armory for the typhoid patients. Lieutenant Governor Blakes- lee announced he was willing to bring the matter before the Senate and House. Tie plans were aba ndoned, this afternoon, however, when it was declared the proffered Trinity parish house was a more suitable place than the armory. Arrangements for ,cond1- tioning the parish house went through with a rush, today.
 Burgess Frank E.. Coe and a com panion went to New York for line Of hospital supplies and furnishings These will be hurried to Torrington. tonight, in special car attached to the train arriving at 7:38.
 At the parish house, the efforts of nurses and doctors previously weak ened by distance and demoralization, will be centralized and organized. Physicians declared that if a tempor- ary hospital was not fitted up inn mediately, <the death list would be appalling The nearest hospital is at Winsted.
 Ten new cases had been reported up to noon. today. sending the total over the 200 mark. Another death, the fifth. is expected in a case at the county hospital.
 The doctors and nurses are badly used up from hard work. Most of them are going along on their nerve. The opening of the temporary hos pital will relieve the strain.
 The whole staff of nurses was vac- cinated for typhoid. There are about thirty nurses in town and more are expected tomorrow

 The work of caring for the typhoid patients in this city has reached sucn proportions that every nurse that can be secured is absolutely needed and d request at St. Francis Hospital, Hart ford, made by Rev. Joseph King Of this town, resulted in eight additional nurses being sent to assist those who came here from Waterbury. Among those who volunteered to come from Hartford were Miss Mary Geary, Miss Sarah Marcout, Miss Mary Sullivan, Miss Mary Scanlon, Miss Elizabeth Fitzgerald and Miss Mary Furey.

Following the settlement of s20O, ,OOO by Horace Wy1ie- of Washington upon his wife as a partial atonement for Philip Hichborn, rumors were revived in New York today to the effect that a reconciliation has taken place be- tween Mr. and Mrs. Hichborn.
 An effort was made to interview MT. Hiohborn at his cottage at Black Rock. He was away, but his mother. Ms. Jennie NJ. Hichborn, spoke for him.
 Absolutely not true," she declared of the reconciliation rumor; "there Is nothing of the kind; furthermore you may say for me that I am sure there never will be!''
 MT. Hichborn, who is a son of Rear Admiral Hfchborn, and is widely known as a novelist and writer of short stories. occupies one of the cot tages in the exclusive colony at Black Rock and is very well known in this city. He is very popular among members of the Black Rock set. Since the Wylie-TIchborn elope- ment he has been bothered by inqEir- ies concerning perpetual rumors of reconciliation, but has steadily denied these, or else has refused to discuss the question. a

Wide Probe Into
 Mysterious Death
 Of Muti-MiIIionaire
Especial from United Press.)


 Chicago, Sept. 23-Through three in- vestigations, instituted by the coroner, the police and United States secret service agents, it was hoped, today, to clear up the mystery of the death of Charles A. Allen, Kenosha, Wis, multi-millionaire and founder of the leather trust, whose body was found late yesterday in an air shaft in the Palmer House.
 The secret service operatives were called into the case because of the activity of Allen in the case of his brother, Nathan Allen, another Keno sha millionaire, indicted for alleged participation in the Jenkins jewel smuggling case. Every effort will be made to ascertain whether the mill lionaire committed suicide or whether his death was the result of an acci- dental fall or, as many believe, he was thrown from the window.
 The inquest will not be held until next Wednesday, to give the three forces at work ample opportunity to unravel the mystery

CITY WILL BUY POWERFUL NEW
 MOTOR ENGINE
Most Powerful Fire-Fight- ing Machine Ever Owned
 By Bridgeport
Gan Make 60 Miles an Hour, Garry Seven Men, 1000 Feet of Hose, and Pump More Than Most Power full Steamer.

Within a few months the fire de- partment of the City of Bridgeport will be strengthened by the most pow erful piece of apparatus ever owned by the city-an all-gasoline fire en- zine capable of pumping as much as the most powerful steam engine, and capable of making 60 miles an hour to a fire, carrying seven men and over 1000 feet of hose
 Tn addition, this piece of apparatus can keep. up it's maximum pumping rate for long stretches of time-an in- definite period-which no steam fire engine can do.
 The commissioners have had an ap- propriation for buying this kind of a vehicle for two years now, but they have wisely bided their time, deter mined not to make a purchase until exactly the kind they want is on the market
 Hitherto the great disadvantage of the all-gasOline type of vehicle has been it's inability to pump the amount of water that steamer is capable of throwing.
 The best of all-gasoline vehicle could throw only 500 Or 700 gallons per minute while good steamer is rated sat 900 and will throw 1000. The most powerful steamer now owned by the city threw 1,010 on test but of course it cannot keep up this speed for any length of time.
 Now the Webb Motor Fire company are putting out a gasoline vehicle that will throw 800 and 900 and are promis- ing to build one once that will throw 1000 gallons, or as much as the most powerful steamer. It is this latter type that the city is planning purchase, and the bargain will prob ably be struck in the near future.
 This will make a tremendous addi- tion to the city's f1re-fghting forces.
 The principle of the all-gasoline ve hicle is that the same motor which pulls the vehicle to the fire, runs the pumps when the fire is reached.
 Tn addition to it's enormous speed, it's crew of seven men, and it's ability to carry 1000 feee of hose, this vehi- cle is remarkable for great steadiness in pumping and cheapness of main tainence when not in use, requiring no boilers Or coal fires at the engine house, and having no horses to keep.
