General Obear said:

more to my liking than Joe Nash. He
is a fine fellow, and my relations with
him invariably have been pleasant.
Moreover, he is enthusiastic in his mil

lot of people I might name whose ap-
pointment to succeed me I would relish
far less than the appointment of

General Obear has not intimated
what he will do with respect to the

duce Zelig, the police turned him over to the county prosecutor. Zelig was taken to the office of Assistant Dis trict Attorney Moss.
 From a conference with Moss, Big Jack zelig went before the grand jury where he told of his arrest, several weeks before the Rosenthal murder, by White and Steinert, two of Beck CTS men. He said the arrest was a frameup, a, revolver being slipped in- to his pocket. AS a result of Zelig's testimony it was said indictments against White and Steinert would be asked by Whitman.
 A report that Zelig had admitted as- signing four of his gunmen to slay Rosenthal, because he feared Becker s threat to ttjob" him if he did not, was denied by Big Jacks counsel. The gangster is wanted in Providence for pocketpicking and obtained bail in or der to appear before the New York grand jury. He will return to Provi- dence.
 Charles Pitt, press agent for Beck CT, created scene in the grand jury room by denouncing Whitmans pros ecution of Becker as a frame up." The foreman reprimanded the witness

NUDE MAN RACES
 THROUGH YARDS
 AND OVER FENCES
Combination of Physical and Mental Overwork Causes Young Mechanic to Break Down

Afflicted with a delusion that q, plot had been made to end his life with illuminating gas. Herbert Har- per, who suffered a mental break down from a com bination of mental and physical overwork, ran wild through the streets of East Bridge port early today. He was clad only in his nightclothes.
 Harper ran out of his home, 479 Pembroke street, about 4:30. and lodged through the yards and ovar fences for more than an hour. until he sought refuge in a meat market, into which he followed the proprietor. Sergeant John O'Connelll of the Sec- fond Precinct station took charge Of the man and held him until the auto mobile patrol wagon from police headquarters with Dr. Hale, of the emergency hospital, arrived and at the doctors suggestion the man was taken to Lakeview home for observa- tion.
 The story told by Harper's mother is peculiarly touching. Harper is 2S years of age. He came here with his mother about eight years ago, from England, and for some time he had been employed by the Hitchcock Gas Engine Go. He was unusually an1bi- tious, and often worked nights. In connection with his physical work, he devoted much time to study. It was not unusual. his mother said, for him to come home from work at 8 or 9 o'clock. and after nasty meal to read and study until long after mid night.
 Until last night he showed no ev;- dence of mental breakdown, although his physical condition has not been of the best for some time. The first his people realized of his condition they heard him leaving the house, and attempting to follow him. soon lost track of him.
 Harper will be detained at Lake view until his condition improves. or 1t IS found necessary to place him in some other institution.

A. Q. H. WOMEN IMPERlLLED BY
 RUNAWAY Expert Horsennanship of Dr. c. E. c. Atkins Prevents
 Tragedy Pedestrians Narrowly Els cape When Frightened Horse Kicking Buggy to Pieces Tears Through Sidewalk.

The early hours of the great Hiber- nian reunion here today came perilous- ly near to being darkened with a tragedy. But for the expert horse manship of Dr., c. E. Atkins, of the veterinary hospital of Martin & At kins, a dozen women, members of the 52d division of the Ladies' Auxiliary, A. O. H., of Shelton, would have been dangerously hurt if not fatally injur- ed. By sticking to his buggy and exerting himself to the utmost, Dr. Atkins brought a frantic runaway un- der control just as it bore down up- on the corner of Broad and Common streets, headquarters for the Ladies Auxiliary, where the float If the Shei- ton women stood, and where they had gathered on the corner of the street.
 Frightened by the unaccustomed touch of a fly netting, Dr. Atkins handsome chestnut horse kicked over the whiffletree just as the doctor started out from the hospital at II o'clock this morning, and running down the slight grade in Broad street, kicked the harness and shafts to pieces as it increased it's speed.
 An automobile belonging to Campion B. Cutter of Long Hill stood on the right hand curb just south of Fair field avenue. The horse was headed directly for the car when Dr. Atkins yanked the animal out of his course and up on the sidewalk. Taking the inner section of the walk the horse and buggy dashed along the street, narrowly clearing a plate glass win dow in Jamieson's drug store, bump ing against the Cassidy & Smith lunch wagon and driving pedestrians into doorWays to avoid being run down.
 The horse rafi off the curb at Can non street, and headed directly across the street. Screams of frightened women who had taken to fdoorways warned the Shelton women of their peril adN they went scurrying in all directions. But for Dr. Atkins adroit handling of the runaway some of them would have been run down. He man. aged to swerve the animal east in Cannon street and it was going so slowly when it reached the opposite curb that John D. Lannon, of the Lanmil Mfg. Go, managed to seize the bridle and assist the veterinarian in bringing the horse to a stop.
 Dt.- Atkins leaped over the disnnan- tied dashboard and took the animals head from Iannon, and in a moment he had the horse under control.
 Seated beside the veterinarian was a handsome King Charles spaniel and "a puppy. Both had remained in their seats, and trembling with fear, were taken out by women of the Shelton division, who sduieted the frightened little animals. while the veterinarian gave his attention to the horse
