STOLEN PROPERTY
 RECOVERED AFTER
 CHASE BY OFFICER

Surveillance of suspected thief, a chase of a quarter of a mile along the railroad viaduct by Sergeant James OsNei1 failed to catch a robber who made good his escape only by sliding down a telegraph pole to cover, but recovered stolen property owned by Cornelius Driscoll, the tailor whose shop is on Main street.
 Sergeant O'Neill who was patrol1ing his beat shortly after 8 o'clock this morning noticed a suspicious charac- ter with a, large bundle under his arm. As the officer approached him to in- vestigate more closely the man broke into a run and climbed the railroad viaduct near the Coe Stap1ey factory in the West End. He ran down the tracks pursued by OhNeiH As the thief came to Wordin avenue he slid down a telegraph pole as O'Nefff climbed the structure onN the opposite side. When the officer reached the tracks he found the bundle had been abandoned. Later it was discovered to contain two suits stolen from the Driscon establishment.

BIG PREMIUMS ARE PAID BY TOURISTS
 LEAVING EUROPE
All English Booking Offices Besieged By Crowds of
 Fleeing Americans

London, Aug. 1-American tourists in England entirely gave up their sightseeing trips today and hocked to Cockshur street where the head quarters of the transatlantic steam ship companies are situated, to try and book passages home. The com panies' offices were crowded from an early hour and the clerks worked at high speed issuing tickets and making transfers to earlier steamers for those who had transportation on vessels sail ing the latter part of August or early in September.
 The one and only o1hiect of the American travellers appeared to be to get home as soon as possible.
 The crowd of tourists was augment ed by many American and Canadian residents who, owing to the d1sloca- ton of business, were desirous of talk ing the opportunity of visiting their homes.
 The Cunard, the white Star and oth- CT German and Dutch lines,< are doing an immense bushes with passengers who had intended sailing with the Hamburg-American, whose steamers are withdrawn. The withdrawal of La Provence of. the transatlantic. also provided customers for the companies still doing business
 Maximum rates were charged by the companies and many passengers paid high premiums for tickets to those who had them but preferred taking the profit in the hope of getting home later at a lower rate. e The French trans-Atlantic line and the North German Lloyd still accepted bookings for their steamers today but most of the would-be. passengers seem ed to prefer British vessels. The Hamburg-Amerfan and other German companies have ordered their vessels in all parts of the world to seek neutral ports and, if the crisis continues, shipping soon will be en- tirely dislocated. The Cunard liner Mauretania, sailing today from Liver pool, has a full complement Of passen- gers. As the ordinary homeward rush 1 to America had not begun when her 1 sailing was announced she was able to provide accommodations for many who had intended to sail on the Imper- ator.
 Thomas Nelson Page. American am-
 bassador to Italy. who had booked on
 the Imperator, decided today to return to Rome in view of the critical sftua-
 ton.

swTNDIE GETS EAST SIDE MAN

A swindIe, believed to be but one of a series worked upon well known 1talian-Amerfcan merchants of this and other Connecticut cities came to light today when P. Lapore, a dealer in leather findings at S93- East Main street, reported that he had been given a check for $34.50 by strangers who purchased $2o- worth of shoemakers supplies in his place. He gave them the difference in cash last week and the check has since been returned by the Hartford Trust Company, upon which it had been drawn by a man signing himself Antone Martin, as 'N. e. An attempt will be made to ap- preI1end the swindlers though 1t is believed by the police to whom the matter has been reported that the clever pair are long since well upon their way into another state.
