STATE. OFFICER |. FAVORS RECALL
 FOR JUDGES NOW

Rowe Wheeler. State Policeman of Stratford, is said to have become an adherent of the judicial recall proposi- tion. This is because of certain ac- tion taken in case which recently came by way of appeal before the Common pleas court. Wheeler some several weeks ago arrested the chauf- nor Blakeslee and his brother, T. R. Blakeslee. The arrest was made be- cause the chauffeur could not show a certificate of registration which is required. It seems that Lieut.. Blakes- lee and his brother about that time. purchased a new automobile from the Jennings garage in this city.
 The license number from the old car is alleged to have been trans- ferred to the new car, an entirely different car from the old one. In court the chauffeur said that he did who employed him. When he ap- peared in Stratford one day State Po- liceman Wheeler noticed the new car and called for the certificate of reg istration. When the chauffeur ex- plained that he did not have one tho officer made the. arrest and the mat ter came before Judge Charles H.. Peck. The charge was one alleging that the machine was not properly registered.
 Judge Peck found against the de- fendant and imposed a fine of $20. An appeal was taken but when the case came before the court of Com mon pleas, it was nol-prossed by Judge Fillmore S. Banks, who is prose cutor in this court, on the ground that the charge was of a too technical na- ture. Since this action Officer Wheel CT is said to be more in favor of the k judicial recall as advocated by Theo- dOre Roosevelt than before.

OH, YOU WEATHER!

E After four days of continuous rain people thought the climax had been reached, but the line of assorted weather which Bridgeport experienced today would make a COW laugh. Ii was trifle hazy this morning but about o'clock the sun broke through the clouds amid laughter and ap- plause Ladies donned their finery for a mornings shopping and men left their raincoats beside the stove to dry.
 It would have been far wiser if they had carried their raincoats on their backs like knapsack. for about IF o'clock it rained for a change. After an hours downpour the sun did the right thing at 1 o'clock, and once more the citizens cheered. About 2 o'clock a thunder shower appeared in the offing and the rain sp1ashed drear- fly. Nobody would be surprised if 1t hailed or showed tonight with little slush on the side.

 TO ATTACK TORREON

Eagle Pass,Texas, May 9.-The first real test of strength between the -e- bels and the federals near Torreon IS expected today. Two federal conn mands have taken up position in Mapimi and Bermejillo, small towns just outside of Torreon. Orozco has ordered the rebels to advance and at tack. If defeated the federals will fall back into Torreon proper and the siege of, that place will then begin in earnest.
 It is expected that General Orozcc will press the attack upon Torreon as rapidly as possible. Being in hos tile country, it is difficult for him tc secure rations and he also charges that as the federals retreated they poisoned all the water between Der. mejillo and Torreon. Seventy troop. CTS under General Salazar have died from drinking the water, Orozco de. clares and several thousand horse, have been lost.

MAVASO JOINS
 IN SEARCH FOR
 GUN HE USED

CContinded from Page OneJ ed the surrounding country as best he could. When no trace of the gun was found the officials started to find some of the shells which their man used. He stated that following his meeting Vireln and Schmidt on one Sunday morning that he lost several shells while he was running. It was hoped that some of these may be found and introduced into the case as evidence. Monday following his shooting at the officers Malvaso took a train from Newtown to Hartford at 4:40.
 The gun with which the deeds were committed was according to Ma1va so purchased in New York for SIP. Ii was a2 double barreled shotgun. Al the same time two hundred shells were bought.
 It was brought out today during the investigation that Virelli and Schmidt once talked to their man in the woods asking the way to Danbury. The state officer was unknown to the man but the New Canaan policeman was New Canaan. When some distance away he was called by the officers and turned and fired the contents of the gun at them. He then ran and
 hid in the woods until his leaving next
 morning in a train from Newtown.

FEARED DAVITS
 MIGHT BREAK IF BOATS WERE FULL

London, May s.-Fear that the davits would break and drop the wo- men and children into the ocean was given by Seaman Alfred Sheers today as the reason for having only forty persons in his lifeboat when he left the Titanic. At today's session of the Board of Trade Commission of inquiry the testimony was in the main re- petition of the evidence laid before the congressional committee in Amer ica. Today was spent in examining members of the crew. =
 Sheers testified that he and the other seamen at the oars attempted to go to the rescue of some of the unfortunates struggling in the water but the women in the boat, fearing that they might capsize. pleaded with them until they turned again and .rowed away from the wreck.

Critics approve this lot of underwear.

None judges the store s merchandise so critically as the stores own folks. They, fguratively, pull it to pieces. A thing which is able to pass their inspection and win approval is assuredly excellent. When the store folks eagerly share in. special offerings, then the department buyer feels sure that right mark has been hit.
 This May offering of dainty underwear is just such an offering. Rain kept lot of women from sharing in it, the first day that it was available. But it gave the store folks special chance to inspect it. And they were enthusiastic. They found it fuller of attraction and merit and value than any of them imagined. It won ap- proval, instant and unanimous.
 Fine underwear, fine in pattern and style and nice of quality, comes to women in this special lot at special prices. The new styles are there. The dainty fabrics are there. And every one is to be had at .- a saving. All patterns of garments for women's intimate wear,in crepe and nain- sock and cambric, trimmed with lace or embroidery.
 And goodly saving on every one.
