FOOL AGAIN AT WORK.
Rang False Fire Alarm From Box is
This Morning

The fool that rings in the false alarm
got in his pernicious work again this
morning at 1890 o'clock, when the city's
fire fighting apparatus, all of the regu-
lar men at station /, and many of the
call men assembled at box l6, located
on the corner of Maple avenue and North
Seminary street. The box was deserted
when the firemen arrived and close
scrutiny of surrounding premises failed
to reveal any signs of fire. 1t was
apparent then that someone troubled
with hopelessly distorted sense of hui
NOR or something even worse, had turned
in the alarm and decamped. An officer
from police headquarters came TO box
Ii soon after the fremen arrived and
he also conducted an investigation. 1t
is understood that another Investigation
was made this morning,
II was from box Is that a false alarm
was rung in early one morning last fall.
At that time the streets were dark and
the trip down through Main street and
up Maple avenue was made in fast time.
This morning a kind moon favored the
drivers somewhat and the trip to the
box was not the precarious undertaking
that il is in almost total darkness.

Insurgents Burned Much Prop
erty of American Fidelity Co.
NEAR GUANTANAMO TO-DAY
State Department at Washington Will
Send Marines into the Interior to
Protect Property if Cuba Does Not
Furnish Sufficient Troops.

Santiago, Cuba, May 2s.-A body of
insurgents to-day burned 5000 tons OF
sugar cane, many cars and other prop
erty on the plantation of Marcos Sanchez
near Guantanamo, belonging to the
American Fidelity company.
The United States transport Prairie
has arrived at Gaimanera with over 700
men.
Washington, d. G., May 2s.--The Unit
ed States is prepared to send marines
and blue jackets to the interior of Cuba
for the protection of American and for
eign interests, where no Cuban forces are
available for that purpose, even though
President Gomez should object to such a
course. II is emphatically held at the
state department that the American otfi-
GERS are expected to take such measures
as become necessary to protect foreign
plantations, as well as American ones.
No foreign government has vet communi-
Gated with the United States on the sub
iect of protecting its interests.
Havana, May 2S.-The exchange OF
cablegrams between President Gomez and
President Taft has led to a more definite
understanding regarding the attitude OF
the United States toward Cuba. Press
dent Gomez's message of protest against
American Intervention drew a response
from the president of the United States,
in which assurances were given that the
action of the American government was
merely measure Of precaution, and en-
II Al NS
intervention. To this President Gomez
replied last night as follows;
Il am exceedingly grateful for your
cablegram, which is appeasing to Cuban
patriotism, because of the assurance that
the action of the government under your
worthy presidency is limited TO the OBJ
servation OF events, in order to be ready
should it be necessary to protect the lives
and property of American citizens, AMI
to support the Cuban govern
ment without having to land American
forces on our territory, unless both gov
ernments agree upon such an extreme
necessary.
sit clearly shows the sincerity Of the
government and the people of the United
States, as well as noble and friendly
sentiments towards the government and
people OF Cuba, who are determined TO
re-establish as soon as possible public
peace, for which purpose they viii not
hesitate to use every resource, no mat
ter what sacrifices circumstances may
impose upon them
The impression is general that the re,
moval of the fear of intervention will
greatly strengthen popular support of
the government. The newspapers ex
press extreme qualification.

paramount Importance that we should
act quickly to avoid jurisdictional con
fusion and organized opposition at home
on abroad. We, of course, recognized
that the ship was under foreign flag
but the lives of many of our own eoun-
trymen had been sacrificed and the safe
ty of man had been put in grave peril
and il was vital that the entire matter
should be reviewed before an Amer
ican tribunal if legislative action was
to be taken for future guidance.
without any pretension to experience
or special knowledge of nautical affairs,
nevertheless | am of the opinion that
very few important facts which were
susceptible Of being known escaped our
scrutiny. Energy is often more de-
sirable than learning, and the inquisi-
tion serves a useful purpose to the
state"
THE lessons of this hour" said Sem
ator Smith in conclusion ARE, indeed,
fruitless and its precepts ill-conceived
if rules of action do not follow hard
upon the day of reckoning. Obsolete
and antiquated shipping laws should
no longer cucumber the parliamentary
records of any government, and overripe
administrative boards should be pruned
of dead branches and less sterile precepts
taught and applied"
Senator Smith recommended that lanes
OF travel should be more carefully de-
fined strength of ships bows increased,
life.saving equipment bettered, and dis
cipline and practice made an eXaction.
He said buoys should be carried to mark
temporarily the place of the ships bur
ial in case of accident; and men OF
strength and spirit there must be, won
back to calling already demoralized
and decadent.
'But 10 per cent. of the men before
the mast in our merchant marine are
natives or naturalized Americans" he
said. Even England, that 20years ago had
barely 1000 OrientaIs on her merchant
ships, now carries over 10000 of that
alien race Americans must re-enlist in
this service, they must become soldiers
OF the sea, and, whether in the look
out, on the deck or at the wheel, wheth
er able or common seamen they should
be better paid for their labor and more
highly honored in their calling; their
rights must be respected, and their
work carefully performed; harsh and
severe restraining statutes must be re-
pealed, and new dignity given this
important field of labor"

VERY LARGE JUDGMENT.
Verdict of 100000, With Interest,
Against Boston Man

Washington, d. c., May 2s.-One OF
the largest judgments against an lndi-
vidual ever decreed by the supreme court
of the United States was announced yes
terdav against Albert S. Bigelow of Bos-
ton. He will be called upon to pay "a
Judgment of 50 100000, together with in
terest, which probably will bring the
total to s2,5OO,OO0.
The victor in the suit is the Old Do
minion Copper Mining and Smelling com
pany. Bigelow and Leonard Lewisohn
OF New York promoted the company and
while owning its stock sold to it prop
erty at an enormous profit. Then they
sold their stock to the innocent public"
With the company under the control of
the innocent" stockholders, it sued Lew
isolln in New York for the profits. The
company lost.
Then Bigelow was sued by the com
pany in Massachusetts,, and the courts
of that state laid down the far-Teaching
principle that the company, no longer
controlled by its promoters, could rescind
its contract to purchase the property
from them and make Bigelow account.
Consequently, Bigelow was directed TO
pay the company S2.l00,000.
Corporation lawyers are in guam
Diary as to the law. The supreme court
in 1908 affirmed the New York decision,
which held the company could not re-
cover, while yesterday it likewise af-
frmed the Massachusetts, decision which
allowed it to recover.
The decision yesterday dealt exclusive
ly with the question whether the Massa-
chusetts court was controlled by the
New York decision under the "full faith
and credit clause of the constitution.
The Massachusetts, courts will be called
upon to enforce the judgment.

STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE.
Young Girl Escaped Severe Injuries, 1t Is
Thought.

Lucy Beck. the eleven-year-o daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. L. C. Beck of ID
Branch street, escaped serious injuries
when she was knocked down and run
over by an automobile occupied by four
people and driven by the owner, c. c.
Ward of MiddleseX, to-day. According
to bystanders the automobile party were
exonerated from blame. The young girl
was on her way to the Mathewson school
shortly before o'clock when the aeci-
dent happened. She was walking along
the sidewalk adjoining the library prop
erty on Elm street and when Jefferson
street was reached she was about to
cross to the opposite side.
The young girl afterwards said that
she heard the automobile coming up the
street and thought they intended to con-
tinue along Elm street. When about in
the middle of the road, she was aware
that the car had turned and was coming
into Jefferson street She became fright
ened and so confused that she was un.
able to determine the safest course to
avoid the automobile She made for the
side of the street for which she had
started, but was struck.
After being struck by the machine,
she fell and ono of the rear wheels
passed over her right leg between the
ankle and knee. Mr.. Ward had applied
his brakes as soon as possible and went
back to the young girl, who was lying
where the accident happened. The in
jured girl was placed on the lawn OF an
adjacent lot, and DR.. Chandler was called.
The doctor drove the girl to her home,
where, after an examination, it was
found that she was bruised about the
arms and legs. There were no bones

When Superintendent Chimney of the

work laying six.inch water main on
the property of John Emery Of that city,
Mr.. Emery objected and special ses-
sion of the council was held yester-

that the city paid $l4;S9 for the priv
liege of laying an inch pipe there in
1875, but that no right of way was
purchased. Mr.. Emery is willing the

essary. but does object to six-inch
pipe between put in He states that he
received no damage money for land on
the Berlin side and does not care to ac-
eommodate the city.
Superintendent Chimney thought it
would be better to keep the main in
the road than to pay $1,000 for right
OF way. City Attorney Bailey was also
of the opinion that the city has no right
to use the land unless some deed Civ
ing right of way should be found The
council voted to keep the main in the
road. Some blasting will have to be
done.

valence OF worms nests about the city,

ROOSEVELT RESTED
AND TAFT CAMPAIGNED
This Afternoon the Voters of New Jer-
sey Began to Register Their Choice
of Presidential Candi-
dates.

Newark, N. T., May 2S.--IIalf million
voters of New Jersey to-day have an
opportunity to influence the selection OF
presidential candidates at the Chicago
and the Baltimore conventions. The cam
paign for the votes in the primary has
been waged with yigor. The state is en-.
titled TO 2S delegates
The Taft and the Roosevelt managers
predict sweeping pluralities. Col. Roose-
welt went to Oyster Bay last night.
Taft, however, set out from Atlantic
City this morning TO make final ap-
peal to the voters actually on the way
to the polls. The polls opened at /
O'Clock this afternoon and will close at
0 tonight.
The Democratic fight has been only
between Governor Wilson and his oppo-
nents inside the state. The Republican
candidates found no state issues to aid
them, and have made their campaigns
largely on personal grounds. Governor
Wilson's friends declared that he would
win the full state delegation, with the
possible exception of the members from
Newark, the stronghold Of former United
States Senator Smith, whose reelection
the governor opposed.
In all. the president and Colonel Roose-
Welt have made more than so speeches
each since they entered the state last
Thursday. Senator La Toilette has been
in the state for the past five days, and
has made nearly dozen speeches. Gov
ernor Wilson has spoken three times.
Although the Democratic campaign has
been mild in comparison with the rush
of the Republican workers, the result OF
the Democratic primaries is considered Of
unusual Importance, since it is aclnowI-
edged that Governor Wilson's chances ut
Baltimore would receive severe blow
if he failed to get at least a good major
ity of the delegates from his own state.
