Kansas City. Mo, Aug. M-Encour- aged by the results of their efforts. yesterday, when, according to Gov lernor Majors estimates 200 miles of new roads were built, Missourfs good roads army started forth, today, to complete the work so well begun Although the number of volunteers who engaged in the first days cam paign exceeded expectations, reports from nearly every county indicated that a large number were yielding the picks and shovels, today In some districts, farming operations were practically suspended; the farm CTS having decided the road improve ment was the most important in which they could engage.
 Governor Major, who with Governor Hodges of Kansas, left Jefferson City, early today, to resume active work on the roads, was eIated with the sue cess already achieved.

GEORGE NICHOLS KILLED BY HORSE
Hurried to Hospital, But
 Death Ensues Enroute

George Nichols. a prominent resident of New Canaan, Conn, was tvday traEnp1ed to death by a horse which had knocked him down in the center of that village according to those who hurried him to the Bridgeport hospital in the hopes of saving his life
 According to the statements of those who accompanied him in a wild ride to this city in a tazZi-truck owned by the New Canaan Auto Cab Co. Nich- ols attempted to cross the street when he was struck by t-N horse. Efforts on the part of the driver only caused the animal to rear more violently and thet sharp hoofs struck Nichols at the base of the brain. The unconscious man was then hastened here but sur geons at the hospital found him dead.
 Medical Examiner s. M. Garliclk was at once called and is engaged in an investigation. The remains were talk en to the morgue to await the result of the medical examiners e5ramiua- ion.

Burglars RansaCk
 Another Dwelling
 Vacant For Summer

Another burglary by men apparent ly adept in the house breaking pro fession came to light this morning when a report was received that the house of Leon1das M. Lawson, Il Lin den avenue had been entered by thieves. The work is similar in many respects to that of the Lineburg and Ha1Iigan robberies reported yesterday and day before. =
 Entrance was effected from front porch by forcing a window, the house was ransacked in the same easy way, plenty of time being taken, and the thieves as in other cases were appar- entIy aware the occupants were out of the city. MT. Lawson, a mechani- cal engineer is now in New Mexico, while his wife has been spending her vacation with relatives in Fairfield. A schedule of the stolen property will be given the police tomorrow.
 W. H. Ha1ligan, who yesterday reached Bridgeport was unable to give an estimate upon his loss which is believed to be large and has promised to bring Mrs. HaIligan to the city to- day. There has been little found in the way of clues which will lead to the arrest of those engaged in this wholesale robbery of the better class of residences.

SHOOTS HIMSELF AND SWEETHEART
 IN DEATH PACT

Yonkers, N. r.. Aug. 21-Charles Rich, aged 19 years, was found dead and his IT year old sweetheart, Ruth Hamilton, was found mortally wound ed, early today. Evidence showed that they had agreed to die together, that Rich had shot the girl and then killed himself.
 A note saying We are going to end it aII,'' was found on the doorstep or the home of Henry C.. Morand, a wealthy stock broker, with whose family Miss Hamilton lived. Shortly afterwards. the Rev. J. B. Oakley tele- phoned to the police that Miss HamiI- ton had been found on his doorstep, probably dying from a bullet wound.
 The clergynan's daughter, Rena Oakley, had stumbled across the girls form as she was returning from a re- cepti on.
 'I guess he's dead in the woods. 9 the. girl moaned before she became unconscious. This clue led to the dis covery of Rich's body on the edge of a wooden section a hundred yards away. A 38 calibre revolver lay at his side.

SherbroOke, Que, Aug. 21-Harry K. T1aavE, slayer of Stanford White and fugitive from Matteawan, will be aEraig1ed in the superior court here on a Syrit of habeas corpus at 10 o'clock. next Wednesday morning. His counsel agreed to this late this after noon.
 Thaw,s contention that he had through transportation to Detroit was verified by long distance telephone communication this afternoon, with the railway agent at Coaticoolz. It was there that Thaw purchased his ticket
 Albany, Aug. 21-Acting Governor GIynn sent the following telegram, this afternoon, to the secretary of state and secretary of commerce at Washington.
 tsIn the name Of the state of New York we request that you ask Cana dian. immigration authorities to deport Harry K. Thaw to the state of New York. Haste is necessary. tSigneD Martin H. GIynn, Acting Governor. Thomas IF. CarmOdy, Attorney Gem eraI.''
 sherbrooke, Que, Aug. 21-Lawyers for Harry K. Thaw, fencing for posi- ttons in his fight to resist deportation to the United States after his flight from MatteaWan, won an advantage behind-the-scenes in Sher erbrooke today by delaying his appearance in the su- perior court on a writ of habeas cor pus. Dominion immigration officials and with them the district attorney and the sheriff of Duchess County, N. Y., had hoped that Tha.w would be produced at 10 a. m., discharged on the present defective commitment and thus fall into their hands for 3deporta ton at a point on the border as yet unde- cided.
 Thaw's lawyers, however, believing in the advantages of delay, declined to serve their writ on the jaiIer or as locally known, ''the governor of the prison and Thaw remained in his hos pital ward cell chatting with his broth er-in-Iaw and sister, MT. and Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie. Superior Judge G1ob enSky was sought by the immigration officials and the officers of the writ ostensibly for Thaw, but the court held that Thaw's lawyers were within their rights.
 There were no court proceedings dur ing the forenoon, although toWnspeo- pie damned the court room Thaw's lawyers, victories so far in the strange procedure of keeping their client in Jail, agreed to announce this afternoon what disposition they proposed to make of their idle writ. If they still persist m not serving IL, the 1Inn1Sra ClOn du- thorities and DistrictSAttorney Conger, of Duchess County, planned to have the writ declared void and insisto on Thaw's arrafgnment at once, either here or at Goa ticook, near where he was arrested.
 Today the case had reached stage where the usual relations of the par ties to a criminal action are absolutely reversed. On the one hand, the law yers for the prisoner were found fight

OUINLIVAN'S GREAT STRENGTH
 SAVES VICTIM
Police Lieutenant Lifts Automobile, Free
 ing Man
Machine Takes Victim To Hos. pitdI--ACCident Un-
 aYOIdab!e

The days of physical strength in the police department have by no means passed. though the addition of untrted anen and the cessation of recent police games have. made that idea the pre- vaHinE one To those who witnessed 8 man in citizens clothes lift the front end of large i've passenger touring car from the body of an injured man, who lay pinned beneath it's engine at the corner of Main and Whiting streets this morning, the scene was inspiring and caused gasps of astonishment to be heard.
 The man who performed this almost hercuIean feat in the presence of many +7ras none other than Lieutenant of Po- 1ice John Quinlivan, now attached to the Third precinct station.
 He was this morning, while off duty, "a guest of William Hickey, 434 Strat- tford aevnue, who with John Kelly, of .129S East Main street, had slowly drtv- zen through Seaside park As they came lup South Main street, a trolley car lstopping to discharge passengers and 1.-two teams directly in the path of the lear which was proceeding slowly tcaused MT. Hickey to swerve to the left where the thoroughfare was ap- iparently clear. As he did so Henry lDaut. who gave his address as 283 sof the car. It was proceeding so slow ny under the quick application of an emergency brake that he chung to it's radiator until 1t had nearly come to a fc0mplete stop when he slipped be- heath the engine
 Realizing the necessity for instant relief. Lieutenant QuInlivan, who was dn the rear seat, stepped to the front eof the mechine and to the amazement F0f bystanders grabbed the car by it's laxie and slowly lifted 1t free from l73auf who was taken from beneath by Mfr. Hickey. The injured man was tpiaced in the machine and hurried to fthef emergency hospital where a care HuI Inspection by pr. Krasyne failed to lrevea1 external injuries other than lac iNratipns and abrasions. Daut was able Ito go to his home unattended. The laccident was unavoidable and MT. Hickey was in no wise to blame. Ldeut. Quin1ivan, once a granite cut fter. working for the old firm of James lSexton & Sons, was regarded in his Fday as the strongest man in Bridge bort. His feats in lifting blocks of lstone were never eauaI1ed here. He lcomee from old Celtic ancestry, and lthe archives in eNeWtown where the lords of strength upon the part of his tzxin- That tfifs gift has been transmit i4ed from generation Z to generation iseems certain. It is said in garage pcircles that the feat performed today lis one which in shops usually requires 1.-the use of block and tackle The weight lifted Is variously estimated al from 500 to 1 200 pounds.

ITALIAN CITIZENS
 WANT POLICEMAN
Probable Administration Will Yield TardiIy To De-
 mand

A seemingly well founded rumor fin Italian circles today indicates that an Italian policeman will soon be appoint ed upon the local force. It is strong ly asserted that this appointment will be made at the meeting and is the direct result of orders issued by May or Clifford B. Wilson, who since the turning down of an Italian candidate for detective honors in the recent scramble for police preferment' has from various Italian citizens and sO- cieties who feel a great injustice has been done.
 A prominent ItaIian-American citf- zen. closely connected with politics in this city, but who for obvious req sons wished his nam ewithheld said today: .1rhe Italian people have time and time again been brought to the polls by the local administration heads with the promise of at least one pa- trolman, and when the opportunity for appointment arose had been dou-
 b1e-crossed. So. fragrant has this at tftude towards the Italian spealrin8 people been that the better class of Italian citizens have been disgusted and defections from the party are not only feared but in some eases have openly announced their intention of adhering to opposition parties. It is known that Daniel Della the we'll known Hamilton street saloon-keeper within the past week called upon a high city official and Republican poll tician and told him that the Italians l In Bridgeport must be recognized by the administration or the Republicans
 this fall would lose a large percentage
 of the vote"
 Great activity obtains today in the
 various Italian factions, each seem | ingly aware of the rumored intentions and having a candidate to present. It was said today that Luke Petru-
 scheel, the well-known interpreter
 whose application was once turned | down by the administra ton may have
 another opportunity while others ln- | timated that the Ialian interests might C
 be appeased by the appointment of
 Dan Della to the post of city sher- l if
 That the appointee would not long be upon the patrol duty but would
 be elevated to work in the detective | department seems certain from the fact that constant work for Italian
 speaking persons is found by that de- partment.

MIsHAPs OF A DAY.

Lawrence Morrell, 5e years old, 915 North avenue, employed as a 1aborer at the Frank Miller Lumber Company, caught three fingers of his right hand in a ibuzz-saw this morning. The in dex, middle and right fingers were al- most completely amputated. He was taken to St. Vincent's hospital.
 A large splinter which completely penetrated the feshy part of John GIaghardi's hand, caused him to be brought to the emergency hospital where trea tment was rendered by Sur geon Finnegan. So unnerVed was the victim who lives at 243 Center street, that he fainted during it's removal and had to be taken home in a conveyance.

IIND,s, MISSION OBJECT
 LESSON TO THE POWERS

Washington, Aug. 21-Administra- ton officials, though not entirely without hope of an amica,bIe under standing, were inclined, today, to be- John Lind and Provisional President Huerta had almost reached a dead lock.
 Huerta demands immediate erecog- milton and President Wilson is abso- lute1y and firmly against it. Within a day or two, it was said at the White
 H ouse, announcement would be made clarifying the situation. In all Hke1i- hood, the American note and the Huerta answer will be published simultaneously.
 It is now understood that Iind's supplementary negotiations. while perfectly cordial, have availed noth- ing. While MT. Lind's mission is conced- ed in official circles to have been a failure so far as it's effect on the Mexi- can government is concerned, admin istration officials believe it accom- pIished a great deal. Foreign govern ments, they think, now have been as- sured of the efforts of the United States to bring about peace. Senator Lodge, ranking Republican member of the foreign relation com mittee, talked briefly with the Presi- dent, today, about the situation, de- c1aring afterward he was doing all he could to uphold the President. He declined to predict what the next step would be. President Wilson's dis position is said to be made known to Congress exactly what has been at- ternpted through Mr Lind's mission, proclaim the aims of the admin1stra- tfon and let things in Mexico take their course, leaving drastic measures to be considered only when American lives are in danger.
 Suggestions have been made that 8 | military demonstra ton on the Mexican border and naval demonstration along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Mexico would influence better pro- lection for Americans in case of emer- gencies.

BERGER DIDN'T HAMPER WITH
 THE WITNESSES
Court Withdraws Reprimand Ad-
 ministered Yesterday

Interpreters and wouId-be polfti-
 fellow country1nen, making them be- Iieve they have influence with the
 courts will have no standing with the
 authorities in future, according to
 statements today made public in the
 City court by Assistant Prosecutor
 John P. Gray.
 The case was that of George Sy-
 mick, 86 Hallam street, charged with
 assault upon Mary Povoltck, which
 appearing yesterday in court brought reprimand to Attorney Ernest Berger. Berger today was exonerated by Mrs. PovoIick, who stated that the paper in
 English was brought to her by George Sutyak who did not tell her she was contradictfng the story she told the Ispo1ice. SyInick besought Sutyak to in- | tercede and he secured a retraetion from the woman, who did not under 1 stand what she was signing. Judge Coughlin in clearing Lawyer
 Berger from cu1pabi1ity today an
 nounced that such practices must stop 1 and imposed the maximum penalty upon the prisoner, sentencing him to l pay fine of $10O and costs and serve six m months in the county jail. An ap- peal was taken under bonds of $1,OOO which the judge later refused to re- duce.
 l The second case in which interpret 1 CTS figured in contradiction to the au- l thorities was that of Stephen May1s
 charged with obtaining money under 1 false pretenses.
 James Martain, 500 East Main | street, William Miller, 571 Fairfield 1 avehue, and James Downey, arrested
 last night by the police, after a three l cornered roWs in which all were 'chaFg- l ed with assault and breach of the peace and Miller with an additiona. l charge of resistance to an officer were l arraigned today. Martin was found not guilty, Miller fined $20 and costs and imprisoned for thirty days and 1 Downey fined $50 and costs. l Because he objected to being put of l the night boat and started to clean up the deck-hands last night Ra- 1 faelIo Spozier, was arrested for intoxi- ] cation and .breach of the peace. Prov l en guilty a fine of $1o and costs was l administered.

GROUP INSURANCE DENOUNCED BY OLD
 LINE COMPANIES

St Paul, ATinn., Aug. 21-A resoIu- Kion striking at the issuance of group life Insurance policies was adopted at an executive session of the Amercian Hdfe Insurance Association which is En convention here, today. Life in- Burancs men representing old line com paies denounced group insurance by which an employer, for instance, puts Unto effect a blanket policy .insuring aII. his employees against death.
 The life insurance men also adopted unanimously a committee report which vigorously opposed the upward trend of medical fees for old line insurance The report said that while s was the usual fee charged in some sections, B was entirely sufficient to guarantee sound medical examinations.

WOULD PLACE TROOPS
 IN MEXICO NOW

to consider imminent.
 Fl Passe, the organ of the clerical party, after pointing out that the Ma dero rebelIions had one recognized chief, says:
 Suppose General Huerta relinquish- eS power to whom would he deliver it? Carranza? No, because Zapa ta would claim it for himself. Maytore- na? No, because Pesqueira5 would not be comfortable to Zapata.
 Should the United States recognize the belIigerency of the rebels which group could it recognize as a. bellig- erency? This, MT. Lind, is the precise situation"

Resolution In Senate For President To
 Take Steps
Provides In Deficiency Bill For Appropriation Of S25,OOO,OO
 To Protect Americans

Washington, Aug. N-Amerfcan troops for police duty in Mexico for protection of foreign lives and prop erty and an emergency appropriation of $25, coo, 600 to be expended under the direction of the President for that purpose, was proposed in a resolution today, by Senator Penrose. The res Olution went over.
 A concerted effort on the part of Republicans and Democrats to sup port President Wilson in his Mexican policy and to carry to the world the definite idea that the President has the full support of the American people at once became apparent
 The amendment for the emergency appropriation, Senator Penrose ex- p1ained, was similar to a provision in an appropriation act just prior to the Spanish war and he asked that the amendment lie on the table in the Senate until the bill comes over from he House.
 The resolution specially declared tNat ment of the United States to reconize or assist any faction or factions in the Republic of Mexico,'' and proposed:
 That the President of the United States be required to take such steps as are necessary to place a sufficient number of United States troops as a constabulary in the republic Of Mexi- co wherever and at such points as, in his opinion, they may be needed, prop erIy to police and protect citizens of the United States and their property and it is hereby declared that such .ernrsIeyrneI1t Of United States troops for the protection of the lives and prormrty of American citizens is not made with any intent that such polio ing and protection shall be construed as an act of hostility or unfriendli- ness toward the Mexican nation
 Senator Renrose said that in a >day or two he would make a few re- marks on the appropriation amend ment and his resolution.
 Senator Nelson declared it seemed unwise at this Juncture to agitate the question
 Such agitation" said he, "is an em- barr assment to the President, who is doing everything he can to bring about peace. This resolution should go to the committee on foreign relations and 1 not be used here to exploit speeches l of an embarrassing character to the administration. Let me cite a bit of history that a few of us well remem-
 ber We were very glad during the dark days of the Civil war that no l foreign governmen intervened in our trouble We were threatened time and again with. .intervention from. Germany, France and England.
 We agitate intervention and inter venfion means war. We should do ev- l erything we can to avoid war and give Mexico the same chance we asked for and were given in the Civil war"
