OF AUTO FOUND IN RIVER 
 IS CLEARED UP

Holyoke July 5.-The mystery of the sixpassenger touring car which was found lying in the Connecticut river off Riyerdale street about a quarter of a mile this side of the West Springfield common, was partially cleared up yesterday when the car was taken out of the river. Three youngsters were swimming in the river Tuesday night about 10a when they struck something just about a foot below the surface of the river and upon investigation it turned out to be an automobile. The police were notified and divers were sent sf down, but could discover nothing on account of the darkness.
 Early yesterday morning the police were onEthe scene and by means of chains and horses finally succeeded in pulling the car out of the river. It turned out to be a four cylinder six passenger Fillmore touring car. It was pretty badly smashed up and was covered with slime and mud, which showe0 that it had been in the river for some time. s :
 The automobile bore the license number o658-C, which is the number Of the Massachusetts, Auto and Supply company Of 24 Fort street, Springfield, and therein lies a. tale. It seems that up to about a month ago J. J. Gun ther was manager and owner of the company and often sold cars for the Mickey garage on Worthington street, and the car found was one of these He got into some serious financial diff faculties. and according to the present manager Of the company he pulled off several deals which necessitated his leaving town. He disappeared two weeks ago last Thursday with the car and that is the last that has been seen or heard from him. Whether he is at the bottom. of the river, going down with the car. or whether he sent the car into the river for a blind and then disappeared is not known.
 The ear must have gone into the river some time ago because there were no tracks on the bank and the bushes near the spot did not show any signs of being torn away. When dis covered the car was standing upright with the front wheels pointing into the stream. The back wheels were badly smashed and were deeply im> bedded in the bottom of the stream
 The river was dragged at this point, but no bodies were found. If Gunther went down with the car it is probable that the swift current washed his body down the river.
 MT. Gunther was located in this city for a short time not long ago, being connected with some automobile com pany here. He formerly came from Ritchburg.

.FLINN LONESOME IN BULL MOOSE PARTY
Pennsylvania Progressives Say Wilson Makes Third
 Ticket Unnecessary

Pittsburgh, July 5-The Progressive party of Pennsylvania will indorse Woodrow Wilson and Gov. Marshall This announcement is made by Clarence V. Tiers, State chairman of the new party. He left last night for Philadelphia, where he will confer with State leaders of tfle Keystone party. and will urge them to give the Democratic candidate their support. Tiers says if a satisfactory working arrangement can be made the Pro- gressive party and the Keystone party will get together.
 In declaring for Wilson Tiers serves notice on Roosevelt that now is the time for him to show his unselfish de- votion to the principles of progressiv- ism by helping. to put Woodrow Will son in the White House. He says the nomination of Wilson gives the progressive element throughout the nation the chance to vote for a mon who stands for all that the insurgent faction of the Republican party has sought.
 Tiers says he will personally appeal to Roosevelt that he realize the op- portunity to unseat the conservative standpatters and give the country a progressive President. During the Chicago convention Tiers urged Roose- for this is gone now, Tiers says. Tiers roasted William Finn, titular leader of the Progressive party in Pennsyl- vania.
 "Flinn will never lead this party as long as I am active in it,'' said Tiers. ''F'linn at heart is about as progress sive as Joe Cannon. His whole career in politics has been that of a dicta- tor. He has always been in politics for what Finn could get out of it. Flinn got aboard the Roosevelt band wagon when he thought he was pick ing winner. He and Roosevelt have nothing in common. Flinn can go as far Aas he likes with Roosevelt now, but don't think that will be a great distance, for the people of Pennsyl- vania don't need more than one pro- gressiye candidate. F'linn when he was in power temporarily at the last Republican convention had an oppor- tunity to write the progressive blanks into the platform. But he did not do it. That shows what kind of a pro- gressive he is. Finn is just as bad as Penrose and when Pennsylvania is rid of both of them the State will be better off'' 8

SHERIFF COHEN MUST PAY $46.7O
Common Pleas Court Deci- sion in Favor of Frank Novetny- Charles Chris tenson Gets $171.5O from E. R. Dunbar.

City Sheriff Max Cohen lost the suit brought against him by Frank No- yotny of New Y York. Judge Scott of the court 'of Common Pleas handed down a. decision Wednesday awarding Novotny $46.70 damages. It was claimed that the sheriff had rented a. store owned by the plaintiff in order to store goods which had been attached. Novotny said the rent had not been paid. The sheriff says he was re- tained by a firm of New Haven law yers who declared they would stand back of him. They refused to pay the bill, however. Tn the action of Charles Christen- son of this city against B. R. Dunbar and Hugh J. Hamilton of this city, the court finds Christensen is entitled to recover $171.5o from Dunbar. It was claimed that the plaintiff bought horse which had the glanders from Dunbar. The sale. was made in the presence of Hamilton, who is alleged to have guaranteed that the horse was sound. The court finds no judgment against Hamilton because he does not believe Hamilton knew the horse had glanders. NI ii

FIRST THINGS

Today is an important one in the history of American transportation. Eightyfpur years ago today the cor nerstones of the pioneer railroad. the Baltimore & Ohio. was laid at Balti- more, with imposing ceremonies. This line, like other. early roads, was built of wooden rails, fastened to cross ties of wood or stone buried in the ground. Flat bars of iron were spiked on the rails This method was soon found to be dangerous, owing to the loosening of the rails, which often bent upward and crashed through the bottom of the car, so that passengers never knew at what moment they might be impaled like flies on pin. Four years later to day, on July 4. 1882, six miles of the Baltimore & Sus- quehanna Railroad were opened to travel. The cars were drawn by horses, but in the following year steam engines were adopted The work. of excavating the Erie canal was commenced ninety-five years ago to- day. The Miami canal, intended to connect Lake Erie at Toledo with the Ohio at Cincinnati, was commenced eighty-seven years ago today.
 French occupation of Algeria had it's beginning eighty-two years ago today when the city of Algiers was occupied by the soldiers of France Although Abd-el-Kader kept up de- fensive warfare until 1847, and there have been several instructions since that date, France has maintained it's supremacy and Algiers has become in it's European quarter, a capital of magnificent architecture that we'll de- serves it's title of "the Paris of .Af- rica." Until 1915 Algiers was 8, haunt for the great fleets of pirate craft which preyed upon the shipping in the Mediterranean. In 1915, after sanguinary battle with the superior Algerian navy, an American squadron under Decator and Bainbridge over- whelmed the Algerian forces and the Dey was forced to aecede to all the American demands. Tn 1916 the Brit ish bombarded Algiers. and made the Dey agree to put stop to piracy. Since the French occupation Algeria has gained vastly in population and wealth, and Is now in large part more an annex of Europe than part of Africa.

COLEMAN STREET wAsHoUT.

Coleman street which has been re- ported as being in terrible condition because of the washout of the road- bed, between Worth street and Ben- ham avenue, is no worse off than many other streets in the city which are not macadamized streets. Direc- tor Courtade has had trap rock placed in the ditch and washout to bring the street up to a level. He said today that he had no money with which to macadam the street. and had to do the next best thing which was to use trap rock in making repairs.
