TRACING MOVEMENTS
 OF ANTONIO LAREsE Coroner Brown Learns That He Was Last Seen Monday Night.

Coroner Franklin H. Brown has been able to trace to some extent the re- cent movements of Antonio Larese be- fore his dead body was found floating Tn the Shetucket river late Wednesday afternoon, but there is some time since Monday that has not been accounted for and no explanation has yet been arrived at as to where he may have spent about S69 out of the $75 which he drew from his employer on Friday of last week. The dead man also had two dress suit cases which he took away and it is not known what became of these
 Larese is known to have worked for his employer on Sunday and on Mon day he did not work. That night he was around his boarding place on Washington street, making more or less of disturbance in an intoxicated condition and he was seen after mid night on Monday on Washington street by Policeman DriScol. That is the last that the coroner has been able to learn of him. Policeman Ralph Divito has been assisting him in his inquiries.
 As the mans watch had stopped at 4.25 o'clock it was thought that this might have indicated that he was struck by train in the morning hours about that time, but upon inquiry at the railroad station of the New Haven road it has been learned that there was no early morning freight at about that time on the road.
 The body was sent from here on Friday morning by Undertakers Cum mings & Ring for burial in Meriden. According 10 the undertakers. rigor mortis had not set in when they re- ceived the body, which would indicate that his injuries had been received on the afternoon of the day on which it was found. Coroner Brown said on Friday that the extent of the injuries seemed to indicate railroad injuries rather than any other type of accident. Besides the badly crushed head the mans left shoulder blade was broken.

THE UNITED STATES
 FINISHING COMPANY.
Situation Regarding It's Affairs Now Satisfactory-Only Question of Time When 1t Will Be Stronger Than Ever.

According to an official announce ment that was made a few days ago, the plan for the reorganization of the affairs of the United States Finishing company is now effective, the creditors, without exception, having signed the agreement granting the company a one year extension of credit dating from Sept. IS. 1913. and having in return received the pl omised 10 per cent pay ment and all interest to date at per cent.
 It is now only matter of time as to when th:s company will be in a stronger and better condition than ever before in it's history, says the New ' York Commercial and Financial World Under the wise and far-Seeing policy of the new president Henry B. Thomp- son, and his colleagues, everything is being done exactly as it ought to be done. Two nonths ago this was ac- knOwledged LY the creditors commit tee.
 A great many improvements have been made in a few short months in the morale of the organization and in the physical conditions of the proper ty. This is sf own in two ways, one by the retention of all the old customers of the company the other by the fact that at the present time It has more advance orders in hand than it had year ago.

The company is sticking strictly to it's function of finishing goods and not converting them or selling them by the remnant roads"
 It was iu April that President Thompson took hold of the affairs of this company. and 1t will be seen that the high exoectations that were then entertained arc being more than justi- fed by the actual course of events.

THE MAN FROM
APALACHICOLA
JUDGE eRIees HERE ON HIS AN
NuAL MARDI eRAs VISIT TO
THE DEEP WATER CITY.

James Fenimore Cooper Griggs Of
Apalachicola, is in Pensacola on his
annual Mardi Gras visitation. No one
ever thinks Of Apalachicola without
thinking of Judge Griggs and one sell
dom thinks OF the Judge without
thinking Of Apalach. In fact, the
rotund magnate of the Florida oyster
port has, probably done more to put
that interesting little city on the map
than any other one man.
Judge Griggs always comes to PEN
sacela at Mardi Gras time, not to
speak of campaign times, and his
friends here would hardly regard the
celebration of Fat Tuesday as COM
plete unless he were here.
What other business Judge Griggs
may have here aside from celebrating
Mardi Gras is not learned, though 1:
is generally reported that he is to be
an applicant for appointment as
United States marshal for the north
ern district of Florida under the ad-
ministration of President Wilson
whom he helped TO nominate at Balti-
more. At any rate, with Cooper
Griggs IN town, Pensacola's Mard
Gras celebration will now be com.
plete.

The legislature of North Carolina
has given it's approval Of the proposed
amendment for the direct election of
Omitted States senators. In some quar-
tiers this action of the old North State
takes an unusual significance be-
cause of the assertion that southern
states would be slow to adopt the
amendment for fear Of federal in
tervention in elections. As matter
Of fact, the bugbear of federal in
reference in elections is only a myth
and q scarecrow. The only real OPP
position to the direct election Of sem
ators comes from reactionaries, who
desire to keep as many departments
of the government as possible as far
away from the people as possible
Contrary to somewhat widely &C
cepted opinion, the south is progress
sive and other southern states will
probably soon follow the lead Of North
Carolina It is not too much to ex-
pect that Florida. next spring. viii
