HE POSES IN THE ALPS.
The Dear old Shepherd" Who Does
Ii For a Consideration.

1t For a Consideration.
Nearly every adyenturer upon the
Alps nowadays carries a camera. 1t
is a sign of the times. People have
become obsessed with the Importance
of realities, and the camera is the only
possible agent to enable you to show
realities to your friends. 1t is not of
much use to tell them about some
strange sight or of some curious con-
formation of nature you may have
met in your climb. You must show
it to them.
A feature of the Alps today is the
number Of worthless who arm their
bread by means of the camera. There
is an old man at Grindelwald, for in
stance, who makes quite a comforta-
BILE competency by standing in front
of his chalet when visitors laden with
cameras are coming up the side of the
mountain and blowing upon a tre-
mendous horn.
How very quaint!' exclaims the
unsuspecting tourist. 1.-The dear old.
shepherd is calling home the cows"
The dear old shepherd. however, Is a
man of sound business principles. He
doesn't drag his Anticipated instru-
ment about his house for the fun Of
the thing. Neither does he perform
upon it for the benefit of his focks
and herds, for he owns none. But he
will tell you frankly, when you ask
him to stand quite STILL" that he will
very willingly pose in whatever nan
ner you like. but you must first pay
him a couple of francs for his trouble.
That old nan is probably the best
known character in the Grisons and
the hero of many local tales.-Wide

HUSBAND IDENTIFIES
 BODY OF HIS WIFE
Corpse Found in Darien Woods Proves to Be That of Mrs. Thomas H.
 Kane of New York

Darien, Aug. 13.-The body of a woman found in the woods here last Monday, was identified today as that of Mrs. Thomas H. Kane. Thomas H. Kane of 605 Water street, New York city, made the identification. Identifi- cation was made by the clothing, as when the body was discovered it was unclothed and so reduced by decom- position as to be practically a skele- ton. The clothing was found a short distance away. Near the garments were two bottles containing tablets of a poisonous nature.
 Kane said his wife left home in company with a woman, whose name he did not know, on June 1 for trip to the country. She was cratic men, tally.
 The authorities are Investigating along two lines: One that she may have been killed, and the other that in period of mental distress she may have taken poison.

NO CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY
Waterbury Deputy Coroner Renders
 Finding in Naugatuck Case.

Naugatuck, Aug. 13.-Israel Gold stein of New Haven, whose automo- bile struck Andrew Radwick of Naug- atuck here on August 4, inf1icting in- juries from which the latter died, was not held criminally responsible for the death in the finding of Deputy Coroner Makepeace of Waterbury, made public today.
 The deputy coroner finds that Rad wick was riding a bicycle ahead of and in the same direction as the au- tomobile but on the wrong side of the road, and that as the autom obile slowed down to pass a trolley car the bicyclist rode unexpectedly in front of the automobile and was struck by one of the mud guards. The coroner finds that the death was not due to the criminal act of or carelessness of any other person."

MERCHANT MARINE BILL FINDS FAVOR
Representative Mahan Among Those Interested in New Legislation.
Especial to the HeraId.)

Especial to the HeraId)
 Washington, Aug. 13.-Representa- tive Bryan F. Mahan, who returned yesterday from the Stonington cele- bration, says he is in favor of the pending bill granting foreign built vessels the right to register and car ry the American flag. Tt is to be re- gretted," he said that the free tolls provision of the Panama canal act. was stricken out. Free tolls to American >coastwise vessels would have encour- aged the building of ships for that trade, and such ships would be avail able for times of stress and war, and we would not be obliged to purchase the castoff ships of other nations in order to transport our produce to the markets of the world.
 "The present situation, the war in Europe, has opened the eyes of our people and they now see the great inn portance of a merchant marine flying our flag. With the most bountiful crop in the history of our country, we are dependent upon foreign ships to transport it to a market. Leader Underwood truly said the other day on the floor of the house, that "un- less we admit foreign ships to Ameri- can register, cotton will be sold for five cents per pound and wheat for twenty-five cents per bushel, and the output of our factories will remain unsold for want of transportation fla cilities to get it. to market. In my opinion it would have been better to lave built our. own ships for this trade and they would have been built ir the near future. but for the repeal of the free tolls provision of the Pan- anna canal act. Ship builders in this country are entitled to the considera- tion given them in the Panama canal act, as it costs more to build and equip ships in this country than abroad.
 "But the fact remains, that we must now provide some means for the trans jortation of the products of our fields and shops to a market, and I shall vote to admit foreign built ships to American register"

STATE RESERVATION
 PLANS COMPLETED
Commission to Consider Proposed
 Changes in West Haven.

New Haven, Aug. 13.-Plans for the proposed state reservation in West Haven which will embrace the present pleasure grounds of Savin Rock, have been completed by civil engineer and will be submitted to the state commission in charge of the project, on Saturday
 The plan in its broader lines will be in harmony with the plans in this city of development of a boulevard to connect the east shore with the west shore by the way of East and West Rock parks.
 Area of Proposed Park.
 Under the plan for the state park it is proposed to take in all the area from First avenue to Bradley's point, not however, embracing the latter point, but including Sandy Point which projects into New Ha- ven harbor proper. The reservation will have a depth of 300 feet from highwater mark. This will take in the eminence which is the real Savin Rock, the ball grounds, the park, and the Beach street section. The plans call for the widening of Beach street to 100 feet and its layout as d boulevard. In this detail it is ex- pected that eventually First avenue will be made a boulevard
 The details of the interior layout of the reservation have not been com pleted. ....
 Right of Condemnation.
 The state commission has the right of condemnation. To it has already been conceded the ground be- tween low and high water marks. It is prposed to ask for pub lie contributions to carry on the work in addition to appropriations which the general assembly is ex- pected to make from time to time.
 The state commission this summer has been making a canvass to deter mine the character of the transient population of Savin Rock. Books for registering names of visitors have been placed at convenient places and thousands of signatures have been obtained from persons outside New Haven and West Haven who in this way have declared themselves in fav- or of making Savin Rock a state park. The addresses of the signers show that hundreds of persons come from the remoter parts of the state and western Massachusetts, the ex- ception being that northeastern Con- necticut is represented by the least number.
