The Sylvan Valley News wonders if
Congressman Gudger wants another
term in congress and whether John
Grant would like to try his hand at the
bat again. We presume that Mr.. Gud-
ger expects to be q candidate for re-
nomination and have heard no sugges-
ton Of opposition to him, since his
return to congress by an unusually
) large majority last year. We do not
assume to speak for Mr.. Grant, but
knowing something of his fighting
qualities. this paper is not prepared to
believe that he would run away from
the nomination.

WATCH COMPANY PERMITTED TO
 FILL ORDER
Waterbury Concern May Make 5000 Time Pieces Before
 it is Wound up

The affairs of the Bannatyne Watch O.. large Waterbury concern, were aired before Judge Curtis in the Su- perior court, this morning. The court appointed Patrick S. Bannon, superin- tendent of the Waterbury Farrell Foundry & Machine Co.,, and Egbert A. Bass of Waterbury, appraisers. s. Wright McCullum, IT,, and Charles Spencer Of Waterbury, were appointed receivers several weeks ago.
 Counsel for the company said the concern had an order from the Home Insurauce Go. for 1300O auto desk watches. The court was asked to allow the receivers to finish this order because it would be of more benefit to the creditors to get the money for this order. than to dispose of the stock to individual dealers. About 5000 of these watches have already been completed. It was also stated that the Bannatyne Go. had placed an order with the Scovil1e Mfg Co of Waterbury for 13,000 shells in which the watches for the insurance com pany order were to be placed Un- less this order was filled, the Scoville Go. would have claim against the Bannatyne Co.
 Counsel also asked the court to al- low the receivers a certain sum to carry on the business temporarily. There are only a small number of men employed in the plant now, and the payroll amounts to about $25O or $500 week. Judge Curtis allowed the receivers the sum of $3,00G The receivers were also authorized to em- ploy as much additional help as would be necessary to sInpl stss ne hig or der It is expeosed that the company will then wind up it's affairs
 Attorney William A. Hartman of New Haven appeared for D. Austin Brown of Boston, who originally ask ed for the appointment of receivers.

Detective Burns
 Denies Statement
 Made By Perkins
Especial from United Press

New York, July 2S-"Any statement that or any of my men rif1ed his papers or took from the offices of Gill; bert B. Perkins records of his inves- tigations of dynamiting cases, is a malicious, Mbelous fabrication de- clared Detective William J. Burns to- day, in answer to the allegations made by Detective Perkins, in Erie, who was on trial for sending threatening letters through the mails. Perkins alleged that he had investigated charges against J. J. McNamara and that the result twas stolen from his office by Burns operatives.
 ''Such a story is absolutely false and a deliberate attempt to get public cir clrlation of malicious, libelous He,' said Burns at his office here, this af- ternoon. "It is circulated in an at- tempt to create sentiment for Me- Namara, and Perkins has no more right tc have such a story circulated for his benefit than I would to have story carried that accused the most prominent citizen of the United States of being chicken thief.
 My men had absolutely nothing to do with this so-called rif1ing of Per kins' offices. The arrest in that case was made by the post office inspec- tors and if they searched the papers there they had a right to do so.'

ARRESTED FOR
 PERJURY AFTER
 HE TESTlFIES
Denying Intimacy with Woman Gets Elmer D.
 Whetstine Into Trouble
Two Detectives Shadowed
 Him-Wife Causes His Arrest for Non-Support.

Two detectives seated among the spectators in the city court today were called to the witness stand near the Whetstine, a we'll known electrician, for non-support, to, give the lie to Whetstine., When the detectives had finished testifying, Judge Wilder or dered the arrest of Whetstine on the charge of perjury
 whetstine denied having entered into a Jason with a woman whose With much emphasis he repeatedly denied the imputation that while he and his wife were estranged, on June 15, he and an unknown woman visited Yellow Mill Park.
 When he had gone on record as ab- solutely denying the charge, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Redden called to the witness stand Fred M. Hawes, manager of the Connecticut Detective Agency. Hawes is a veteran of the Pinkerton forces, and regarded as one of the shrewdest and best equipped sleuths in the business. Both he and his man, Lambert, gave the lie direct to Whetstine It developed that Mrs. Whetstine had engaged them to watch her husband, for she had cause to sus- pect him of infidelity.
 Whetstine is a moving picture ma chine operator in an East End thea tre. His arrest was made nearly a month ago, but from day to day Prosecutor Redden had sought contin- uance, hoping to patch up the differ ences between the accused and his pretty young wife. All his efforts were to no avail, however, and today xI1 Tv,I Wilder.
 Whetstine and his wife separated in a quarrel over his familiarity with other women. Mrs. Whetstine placed their house furnishings in storage, and went to live with her people at 346 Carroll avenue, while he returned to the home of his father, David B. 757 Seaview avenue.
 Whetstine was represented by At court today. Mara sought to show that Whetstine was willing to support his wife henceforth, but Mrs. Whet- stine would not agree to return to live with him in view of the reports of the detectives she had received.
 Judge Wilder found him guilty of neglecting and refusing to support his wife, and sentenced him to jail for 60 days. Tn lieu of the jail sentence he gave the prisoner the alternative of bail of $500 to guarantee payment of $8 per week to Mrs. for period of one year.
 Whetstine appealed from the court s decision and the appeal bond was made $500.
 Judge wilder then ordered his arrest for perjury Prosecutor Redden drew the warrant, and he was held on this additional charge in bail of $500. His father furnished both bonds, $1,000 in all, one for his appearance on the per Jury charge, the other for his appear ance in the court of Common Pleas on the non-support charge.

Is Expelled From Carriers Association For Unrestrained Expressions Of
 Hatred
Rebuked by Sup Grady Carrier Conceves Notion That All Irish Are to be Reprehended and Begins to Write Them Down-Complained to Inspectors and
 Threatened InvOluntarily
 Harikar

George o. vermilye, a caITier em-
 pioyed for upwards of two years at the local post office, in the class re- cedving $500 per year, has been -noti- fled through the Post Office Depart ment that he is soon to be the subject of investigatioy/b by it's officials.
 vermilye Las been variously de- scribed by~f1is fellow workers as the sherlock Holmes of the local postal service. and the modern Cromwell, having been given the latter charac- terization because of his often ex- pressed antfpathy to those of Irish birth, or ancestry, connected with him in the department.
 News of vermilye's trouble became general about the local post offices to- day, and 1t was noticeable that there were few expressions of regret at his predicament, for Vermilye, according to those most familiar with the work ings of the department hereabouts, was one of the most generally dislik- ed in the service.
 This statement is substantiated by the fact that the local branch of the National Association of Letter Car riers at a recent meeting voted to ex- pei the carrier m
 vermilye's eccentricities have made  him one of the most disliked members Of the postal service hereaDuts. He has a fiery temper and is inclined to be very outspoken. and the latter qualification is not in keeping with the rules of the department, all of which tend to make employees keep curb upon their tongues.
 yermilye first came into prominence in the service here when James D. Grady, then superintendent of car-a riers, lacked him up for alleged loiter-l ing upon his deliveries. The carrier regarded Grady's act, he claimed, as inspired by prejudices of creed and and forthwith he provided himself with a little notebook and pencil which were his inseparable 
 vermilye jotted down such infrac- tions of rules as he could discover, and at length made report to one of the post office inspectors, withhold ing, it is reported, all information of the alleged infractions from Postmas- ter Marigold his direct superior.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-07-28

Inspectors investigated the com
 plaints as a matter of course. They discovered that one of the carriers whom he reported as a loiterer, was in 1reality soldering on the job, and the result was that the carrier was re- duced from $500 to $500 per year. An other carrier lost $100 per year, and several others got into trouble, 1t is reported because of Vermilye's activi- ties.
 It was not a secret where the trou- ble originated, and Vermilye thence forth became the object of the closest scrutiny. His every word was heard with closest attention. His antipathy towards those in the postal service of Irish birth or. ancestry became so widely heralded that several Irish or ganizations about the city took up his conduct, and made it the subject of investigation.
 At the last meeting of the carriers Vermilye was notified to appear. He was accused of having made an un- printable remark directed towards his he would disembowel every one of them. He denied that the quotation was correctly reported to the carriers but it is said that he ad- mitted having used words along the same general lines as were stated.
 It is further reported that he wish- ed to be transferred from the City Hall delivery at one time, because there were too many Irish occupants in the various offices.
 Vermilye made charges against pr. B. c. Krause, ambulance surgeon at the emergency hospital. because the surgeon did nots respond to what he a needless ambulance call on circus day when there was prob ability of more than the usual need for the ambulance The surgeon was upheld by the charities board when the case was heard.
 It is against the rules of the de- partment for Vermilye to discuss the case before it is disposed of by his superiors in the department The ex- act nature of the message that reach- ed Vermilye today is not generally known. All information as to its na- ture was refused, at the post office. because of the rules of the. depart ment. It was not even admitted there that there was knowledge of such having reached him.

Pope Reported
 Seriously III
Especial from united Press.

Rome. July 2S.-Pope Plus x is seriously i'll. This was virtually ad- mitted, today, in Vatican circles and much concern is felt for him. Those about him say that the pontiff is haggard very weak, depressed and brathes with much difficulty as a re- suit of an attack of laryngftis. Pro- lessor Marchfafara, the specialist called into consultation, confirmed the statement that audiences would have to be postponed indefinitely
 The Pope's weak condition is still further emphasized by the fact that he can take but little food and is on a diet of milk and eggs
