JeWett City, Conn, Feb. 15.-Officer
Patrick Driscoll, of this place, is in

cal condition with a bullet in his left
men in the local postoffice where he
was attracted by an explosion. shortly
after O'Clock, this morning, which
partially wrecked the safe. The men

DTiscol1, the officers brother.
The postoffice stands in the center
of the town. Entrance was gained

lunch wagon nearby. Officer Drisco1
was some ways from the office when
he heard the explosion end running

inside. They evidently saw him about
the same time for as soon as he APP
peared they began firing and in the ex-
change of shots that followed the Of
hcer was the only one hit. The noise
of the explosion and shooting aroused
others in the neighborhood who went
to Drigco1l's assistance. He was first
taken to the local lookup and given
temporary aid and then taken in an
automobile to Norwich.
The lower part of the safe door was
bent by the explosion IN such a way
as to prevent the robbers from open
ing the inner door.
There Is absolutely no clue to the
men and the wounded officer is the
only one who secured a good look at
them and would be able to recognize
them If he saw them again. It is be-
Heved thai they are part of a gang or
the whole gang which has been COM

German Justice.

A curious illustration of the princi-
pie of responsibility abroad is afford
ed by u civil damage suit growing out
of the breaking of a plate glass win
dow in a German town. A witness had
testified as follows:
''As I was passing down the street
in front of the window 1 saw a big
stone come whirling through the air.
I did not know whence it came. ]

had just time enough to dodge to save
myself from being hit by it."
The witness was sharply questioned
upon the point whether the stone that
broke the window would have struck
him had he not lodged 1t. He was
then dismissed. Eventually the deci-
sion of the magistrate was this:

SENIOR DE LA BARRA
MAY SAVE REPUBLIC

! Washington Feb. t15-On Senior Fran
cisco Leon De La Barra depends the
settlement Of the Mexican situation.
He is the one man, diplomats, and
other officials believe, who can bring
about peace.
The army and navy, however, will
remain prepared for any contingency;
the batt1eships now either at or
enroute to Mexican ports will not be
recalled and the governments plans
for instant Intervention will not be
abandoned.
If new administration is formed in
Mexico City. it may still be months
before the government becomes stable,
strong enough absolutely to enforce it's
authority and restore order not only
in Mexico City but throughout the re-
public The apparent success of
Felix Diaz may inspire other am
bilious Mexicans with the idea of fol-
lowing his example. Also, although
the state department has been con-
stantly Informed that Diaz does not
desire the Office, still, there is a sus-
picion that he would not be adverse to
occupying the presidential chair. He
may not only desire to be the savior
of the republic but in addition want
reward in the shape Of q controlling
hand in Mexican destiny. The anti
American spirit shown in other cities
reason it may be necessary for the
United States to retain its attitude Of
preparedness for several months.
A reign of terror or a series OF
riots directed at Americans or british
property or development of anarchy
in Mexico City would be equally just
cause for intervention.
