Sommer Trying to Make
Trouble In the See-Eve

Duluth. Aug. 2s.-All during the
present season William j. Sommer
has been the stormy petrol OF the
Central-1nternational league. He is
the mad Mullah of baseball in these
parts n then some. Diogenes took
one OF those early editions of the

political pelf or fitch kale from the
pockets of a fellow along the pike.
Sommer takes his little lantern ana
goes looking for trouble.
Just to illustrate to you, here Is
n latest from Superior. the same
pelng from that glowing periodical.
president Sommer OF the Superior
Baseball association announced TO-DAY
mat ne would ask to have the entire
last series Of games played between

ing OF the Central International
league to be held September 4. It
would dc no good to submit 1t to the
president o so I will wait until the
league gathering declared Mr.. SOM

The president bases his protest on
the grounds that Umpire McGloom
Disseminated in favor Of Duluth, that
H. A. Blume. president of the league
was actively at the head of the Du-
luth club and favored that %organiza-
tion and that Blume stated to him
(Sommer) that h could beat Super
Tor if Superior had it's own PLAYERS

been given the best If the deal
throughout to the detriment of the
other clubs.
The Superior games in question
were played at Superior and Duluth
between June % and July 4 inclusive.
Superior won n game and Duluth

out.
I'm the event that Sommer's pro-
test is sustained at the league meet

there is a chance OF landing the pen

This Sommer has tried by devious
methods to put the league on the fritz

 On Thursday the same two men appeared again in the neighborhood of his home, then disappeared to tha was shortly after daybreak. On their second appearance they were even more bedraggled than before.
 r. Acting on this information the de- tectives and state police made fre- quent excursions today, through var ious sections of the country, looking for further traces of the twain.
 An evidence of the widespread ac- tivity of the state police in this case is to be found in a wholesale raiding of places known as t'speak-easies'' in Ridgefie1d yesterday.
 On information that came to them yesterday. the state police organized a raiding party and in several auto mobiles swooped down on the Italian settlements in Ridgehe1d and secured the various hang-outs where liquor Is said to have been illegally dispersed. They made a number of arrests for liquor law violations, but they could find nothing to indicate that either Big Andrew or Hartford Charlie had been in the places.
 The information given by MT. Lindstron, who is employed by the A. W. Burritt Lumber Co. is regard ed this afternoon as the most direct clue that has been found to tn whereabouts of the pair since the murder.
 Antonio Voccola, a special police turned over to the authorities today report that would, indicate that
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-10-26

Positive announcement was made by the state police today that the murder of Jennie Cavalieri in Orono- que Tuesday night was the work of an organized band of white slavers. In the circulars calling for the arrest of the two gunmen now at large, Chief Thomas F. Egan of the state police department makes this positive statement:
 EeBoth have a large acquaintance among pimps, prostitutes and keepers of sporting houses, they being known to be connected with 8 gang engaged in the traffic of white slaves in ,Chi- cagO and the transportation thereof between cities east, with headquarters in Brooklyn, N. Y."
 This circular is based on evidence gathered largely from correspondence found in the trunk of Jennie Cava- 1feri, the check for which was taken from the confessed murderer, Chicago Joe Buonomo, the night of the mur- der in Stratford. Capone is described as being we'll known in New Haven, and Ricco in Hartford.
 So far,1 this is all the state police have been willing to divulge of the mass of evidence they are gathering against not only the three prisoners but the white slavers in general in Chicago and eastern cities.
 Hartford Jimmy and Big Andrew the two men wanted for the murder of Jennie Cavalieri, are now believed to be at large in the country lying to the north of Lakeview Home. The state police believe the clues indicat- ing that they escaped by trolley cars to South Shelton the night of the mur- der are misleading, and that the men are still in hiding not far from the scene of their crime.
 Important information came to the police today through a Farmer re- porter. Leonard Lindstrona, who lives
