PENDLEToN AT HAcKENsAcK.
New London Letter Carrier Taken Into
 Custody There.

Letter Carrier Lyman B. Pendleton of New London is under arrest by the police of Hackensack, N. J., on tLe charge of being a suspicious charac- ter. He was lapprehended in that city Wednesday, according to a letter re- ceived from the chief of police of Hackensack by Postmaster Mckinley Thursday morning. The official wrote that he had man who gave his name as PendletOn and his occupation as a letter carrier in New London in cus- tody and he asked if MT. Mckinley desired him held. Presumably the chief had seen the picture of the missing carrier in the papers and recognized him on the street.
 Mir. Mckinley teIegraphed the Hack ensaCk authorities that there was no charge against MT. PendIeton and that he should be released. The letter car rier was seen in New York Monday by Joseph j. Melville of New London. At that time he said he was on his way to Philadelphia. Apparently he intended to walk there. Friends are of the opinion that he also walked from New London to New York.
 Nothing was said in the letter from the Hackensack chief of police as to whether Mir Pendleton had money with him. His associates at the post office consider him worth several thousand dollars. He was shrewd and careful in financial matters and it was a common thing for him to have five or six pay envelopes that he had never opened Each of these contained two weeks salary as carrier. For years it is the belief of his friends that he has saved three quarters of his pay.

SUIT FOR $5C,000
 AGAINST MoosUP MAN.
Edwin MiInsr Made Defendant Over an
 Oil Land Deal.


 A suit for $50,000 against Edwin Mil ner of Moosup Conn, was filed in the superior court in Providence Wednes- day by John COnley and ID. R. Evinger Of Bakersfield, Cal, the litigation aris ing out of MT. Miners alleged trans actions in stock of the Babcock Oil company.
 Conley and Evinger claim that they sold a leasehold of some oil lands in Kern county, Ca, Feb. II, 1910. to the Babcock Oil company, a Maine cor pOratiOn organized to do business in California, for $50 00o, taking in pay ment three notes for $10, ,000 each, pay able to their order in F, Is and 24 months respectively.
 These notes were not met by the Babcock Oil company when they be- came due, it is alleged, and on Dec. 2, 1912, Conley and Evinger recovered judgment in the superior court of Cal ifornia for S36,O00 The sheriff return ed the execution unsatifed on Feb. "A, 1913, noting thereon that he found no property belonging to the Babcock Oil company upon which he could levy.
 The plaintiffs declare that MT. Mill neT, the defendant in this suit, filed Wednesday, owned 660 shares of the capital stock of the BabCOck Oil com pany on Feb II, 1910. of the par value of $100 per share. They claim that he had paid not more than 25 per cent. of the par value for the stock, and that he owed the company the balance of 75 per cent, or the sum of $49, 300, whenever the company called upon him to make payment in full.
 The Babcock Oil company neglected and refused to make any assessment upon MT. Miner, according to the statements of Messrs. Conley and Ev- finger, or to collect from him the un- paid stock subscription. They say that the oil company is insOlvent and that the defendant became liable as q stock holder whose stock had not been fully paid for, for $49 500. or such a portion thereof as would satisfy their judg ment against the company with inter- est.
 In the. account filed with the decla ration in the suit against MT. Miner he is charged $38,622.90, the amount of the judgment obtained by the plain tiffs against the Babcoc1 Oil company with interest. The ad damnum is laid at $50, 900.

LAW MORE SEVERE
 NOW FOR TRAMPS. New Statute Aims to Reduce Number of Vagrants in Connecticut.

The police of every town and city in this state now have a, new law un- der which they may work that will, it is believed, reduce the number of tramps in this commonwealth. Here tofore a vagrant could not receive more than six months in jail until he became a habitual tramp and then it meant state prison.
 Under the new law one year can be handed out as a punishment to va grants on first offense and prison comes next when they become com mon tramps. The new act reads:
 Section 1336 of the general stat utes is hereby amended to read as follows: "All transient persons who rove about from place to place beg ging, and all vagrants, living without labor or visible means of support, who stroll over the country without lawful occasion shall be deemed tramps. and every tramp shall be punished by imprisonment in the workhouse not more than one year."

Am invitation sent by New York city
asking the members of the interparlia-
mentary council to be the guests Of that
city during their meetings in America in
1915 was presented at todays session by

day discussed resolution proposed by
Mr.. Bartholdt, declaring that the con-
ference approves of the project of the
United States Secretary of State, Mr..
Bryan, whereby the nations bind them
selves to submit disputes for investiga-
ton by an impartial commission before
resorting to hostilities, and requests the
governments to enter into negotiations to
secure such an arrangement
The debate disclosed a unanimity of
sentiment in favor of the general idea,
but differences of opinion as to whether
or not the proposed text of the treaty
should be approved.
Finally Mr.. Bartholdt's motion was
adopted in an amended form, expressing
heartiest approval of the idea and re-
questing the permanent committee on
arbitration to take it under consideration
and incorporate it in the committee's
proposals.

companion, Lieut.. p. p. Ritter Won
Bauer Of Vienna, who have just arrived
from an expedition into the South
American jungles.
For thirty months they searched for
the sources Of the two great rivers, and
traversed country through which they
believe no human being had ever been.
The country we entered" said DIR.
Rice, twas wilder than Africa at the
time Livingstone entered 1t.
I'VE discovered that the Amazon and
Orinoco have their origin near the
same spot, in fact, their small feed
streams interlock. and are not, as most
maps indicate, widely separated For
fifty days at time we did not see a
human being outside our own party of
twelve. but we came across tigers and
tapirs which were almost as tame as a
household pet"

WILL RESUME INQUIRY
NTOACTS Of SULzER
New Evidence Obtained by the
New York Legislative
Committee.

NEW YORK, September 3.-The legis-
lative committee whose investigation of
William Sulzer,s official conduct has re-
suited in the impeachment of the gov
ernor met here today to resume its in
quiry with the report current that con-
siderable new evidence was to be SUBJ
mitted. The opening Of the sessions was
delayed till afternoon on account of the
ceremonies arranged for the notification
of Mayor Gaynor Of an Independent re-
nomination for office at city hall, where
the investigators have been meeting.
1t was understood that number OF
checks contributed to the Sulzer campaign
fund not accounted for by Mr.. Suizer IN
his sworn statement to the secretary OF
state might be added today to the list of
checks representing suppressed campaign
contributions, some of which were d.
verified from the purpose Tor which they
were given and used In stock speculation,
according to charges made in the arti-
cles of impeachment.
No Accounting Made.
It was also thought likely that the
committee would make some inquiries re-
garding the disposition Of fund Of
about $4,000 which was contributed for
the direct primary campaign conducted
by Gov. Sulzer early this year. No ac-
counting whatever has been made of this
fund, although it is said that under the
so-called anti-lobbyist law. which pro-
vides that an itemized statement must
be filed with the secretary of state of all
expenditures incurred for the promotion
or defeat of legislation, accounting should
have been made.
The Frawley committee is also declared
to have obtained interesting evidence
along entirely new lines concerning some
of Gov. Suffers activities, particularly
his vetoes of certain bills.
