OFF. GERS ON THE TRACK OF SUSPICIOUS MEN SEEN
 NEAR MURDER SPOT
Woods Afire Caused By Camp Fire of Unknown Men-Strangers Dodge
 Behind Obstacles When OYertaken.
fsnecia1 I'd Tba Farnoa,

Special to The Farmer)
 Stratford, Oct. 2S-The north end of the town was again excited yesterday by the report that two suspicious char ity of the white slave murder and that their actions might be taken as an in dication that they had been connect ed with the. affair in some way. On Saturday night George O. Lines saw the two. men at the Putney school range Of the search light of his mo tor car as he ascended the hill beyond Peck's mill When the glare of the light struck them they dodged behind the school house. Yesterday a man named McKenna called on First Se- 1ectman Charles H. Welles and. re- ported seeing two men who anwsered compIicity in the affair. State Police man Rowe Wheeler was informed yes terday that the two characters were m the vicinity Of the Putney chapel and he was busy in the vicinity the greater part of the night. A big fire mill in Oronoque called out the coun- try side yesterday and after a strong fight the flames were conquered Evi- dence was found that made it appar- ent that the fire began with a camp fire in secluded spot which had been eral coRf1agration. All these things have again drawn attention to the Eor- ribIe affair of last Tuesday night and every one is on the qui vive. It is hardly possibly however that the men wanted would remain in this vicinity any longer than necessary and the gen era1 belief is that they are many miles from Stratford at present and that they got out of the way as soon as possible.

 HE'S VICTIM OF
 PUBLIC CLAM0R
CONVICTED POIICE OFFICER HAS LITTLE HOPE. THAT HIS AP-

HE STILL INSISTS IN SAYING HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PERMIT TED TO TELL HIS STORY

New York, Oct. 2S.-Asserting that he is convinced he is to be |'offered as sacrifice to public c1amor," Po- lice Lieutenant Charles Becker insist ed in his cell in the Tombs, today, that if he had been permitted to tell would never have been convicted of the Rosentha1 murder. Becker said today that he is sure his story would have secured his acQuittal and in clines to blame his lawyers for not letting him testify. When he is ar raigned for sentence. Wednesday, he may insist on talking
 Becker again discussed his case at great length, today. He declared that he had never seen any of the four gun men Il, held for the actual killing reported declaration that he G5eeker1 had "hxsd' the cops. the convicted
 "Even if these men did say that why should be held responsible for their action? Rose might have told these but am to be held responsible for that? I never saw Jack zelig in my life yet they say that I sent him to have men hired to kill RosenthaI
 ''It is true that Rose was my stool pigeon. An officer in my place has to have such a person. But why should ask him to have Rosenthal killed. And why should I ask Web Der to have Rosenthal killed? They say that it was because I had these men in my power. Now, all these men had to do if I demanded they kill and they did not want to do SO was to de- nand protection from the district at- torney."

WHAT SENATE
 PR0BERS ARE
 TO RECOMMEND
Corrupt Practices Act That Will Divorce Politics From All
 Business Big or Little
Senators of Three Parties Agree That This Act of Congress Should Have Teeth
 That Will Bite

Washington, Oct. 2S-Divorce of poli- tics from business-big or httle-by en- actment of corrupt practices acts more stringent than any of the 'modeP' laws now in effect in several states, will be the demand urged upon Con- gross by the Clapp committee of the Senate.
 There will be no partisanship in their appeal to Congress for statutes which would be bare of future cam paign war chests for candidates. The members represent three great national parties and are unanimous in their opinion as to the needs for political reforms.
 There is now no federal provision of any code requiring publicity Of pre- convention financing.
 To supervise scrupulously the e1ec- ton of presidents, senators and repre- sentatives will be the scope of the new law, the senators indicated, today, without hesitation. Here in part, is what they propose to include: .'trust'' large or small. or any corpor-- ation, to presidential, senatorial and congressional campaign funds.
 Prohibition of large ind1viduar, any officer or director of any corpor- atfon.
 Publication of campaign receipts by all candidates, including presidential, to occur four times during and 30 OF 60 days after the nomination or pri- mary campaign and during and after the general election.
 Limitation of the size of contribu- tions from individuals lone senator favors s10,o00 as the limit, another favors $5.0o0.)
 any campaign was spent, the names Of recipients and detailed information as to purposes.
 fines for campaign officials who break the law.
 Adjustment of the law to cover both the convention and primary nominat t. ing systems for presidential and all other candidates.
 To require not only national cam paign managers but state, district or even ward or precinct managers to re- port the money received or spent.
 Strict accounting of all campaign promises of appointments or political records.
 Machinery to enforce the new law may cause creation of a new federal bureau of elections.
 While the senators are united in framing an immediate appeal to Con- gress for political reform they are split wide open" on one feature Their several positions preclude un- anfmous or even majority report, re arcial ring of politics Tn fact. there is no majority of the committee. It has five members Senators Pomerene and Paynter are Democrats; Senators Oliver. Clapp and Jones are Repub- lfcans: but Senator C1app, the chair man. is an ardent Roosevelt supporter, a progressive.

Skull Fractured By
 Blow Of Bar Of Iron
Argument in West End Factory
 May Terminate Fatally

A heated argument in the West End works Of the Crane Valve Company, this morning, between George Stoitse, who resides at 33 Johnson street, and John Barnowski, living in Gregory street, resulted in blows which so in- furiated BarowSki that he fel1ed his opponent with a crushing blow upon the skull with huge iron bar. His antanogist fell to the ground insensi- bEe and all efforts to bring him to consciousness were useless. He was treated by pr. Wm. H. Curley, who removed him to the Bridgeport hos pita& There it was found that he had sustained a fracture on the left side of the skull and it was necessary to perform an operation to relieve the pressure upon the brain. His chances for recovery are fair unless complica- tions enSue.
 BarnoWski was at once placed under arrest and is held at headquarters up on a charge of assault with intent to kill. Should his victim die he will be charged with homicide.
