he intended to take on board his cruiser the 1000 tons of steam coal with which the Exford was laden.
 The first report of the activity of the Enaden was in August 6, when she was said to have been sunk in action with the Russian cruiser Asko1d off Weihai- wei This was contradicted 8 few days later when word was received that the E1mden had sunk the steamer City, of Winchester and steaming into the Bay of Bengal five days later had sent two more British vessels to the bottom. Within three days she had sunk four vessels there. She was ae- companfed by the Hamburg- American steamer Markomannia as a collier. The
 1arkomannia, was sunk October Is off Sum1natra by a British cruiser.
 Leaving the Bay of Bengal. the Elm den sank three British steamers in the Indian Ocean on September A. On September p she appeared off Madras and shelled the city, extinguishing her lights and disappearing when the activity in the vicinity of Ragoon, where more British vessels fell prey to her. Again she disappeared and was not heard from until she turned up at Penang.
 The captain of the steamer Paron put into Sydney, N. S.W., yesterday and reported that after the success of the Emden at Penang, she was over taken by a British cruiser but, being the faster ship was able to escape. Two store ships accompanying her were left behind and the British cruis- CT captured one and sunk the oth- CT.
 The Enden was a sister ship of the cruiser Dresden which participated in the naval battle off the coast of Chile, November when the British squadron under command of Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock was defeated. The Emden had a complement Of 36I. Her armament consisted of 10.41 inch guns, eight 5-pounders and four ma chine guns She also was equipped with two submerged I77 inch torpedo tubes.
 The Australian cruiser Sydney car .ries a main battery of eight 6-ineh guns, giving her a decided advantage over the German ship. While the speed lpf the two warships was theoretically equal that of the Enden being 24.i

DETECTIVES TO AID IN PURCINC
 OUR ELECTIONS
Bridgeport and Norwalk Men Behind Movement to End
 Use of Money.
MANY MEN OF MEANS
 INTERESTED IN PLANS
Organization Will Be Effected, Education Begun and
 SleutIs Engaged.

Now that the active campaign is over, men in widely separated parts Of Connecticut, and of every party. will take up a crusade against the illegal use of money in politics.
 The movement was begun in a ten tative way during the recent cam paign, when a number of men agreed to organize for the work as soon as the election should be over.
 The initiative of the movement is in Bridgeport and Norwa1k, but wide assistance has already been promised. No active work was done this fall to- ward organization, or toward proven ton, because of the belief that it would be unfair to take steps against men who after all were doing what always has been done-that is. spend ing money illegally to influence cleo ton results
 The objects of the proposed organi- zation will be to compel compliance with the corrupt practices act. to see that proper reports of expenditures are made to prevent vote buying on promises made to delegates to con- ventionss and to stop the corruption which has long been thought to ex- sst in the General Assahnbly.
 TO this end a campaign of educa- ton will be pursued, it is said. and detectives will be employed for the apprehension of those who are sus- pected of using money iIlegitimateIy.
 There Is d large body of opposition to the illegal use of money in elec4 tions, and 1t is asserted that many men of means are willing to contrib ute lfberalIy to movement to stop the practice.

ALL CLUES FAILING, CORPSE IS BURIED
 IN POTTER'S FIELD

The body of the man whose terribly burned body was found Friday hidden in a clunnp of bushes back of the Crane Valve Co.'S West End plant, was bur jed without identification this after noon in potter's field at the almshouse grounds It was turned over to Un- dertaker Bishop last night from the morgue after every means of trying to identify it had failed. Dr.s s. M. Garlick. medical examiner, gives ac- cidentaI death by burning as the cause in the absence of any clues lead- ing to other explanation. No signs of foul play have been found.
 AS a result of the address, 27 Cher ry street, having been found on a pa- per near the body a visit was paid to the location which is a boarding house. No one was reported as missing and a number of those boarding there had visited the morgue but without iden- tifying the body. It is now considered that the paper may have been dropped there by some other person before the unknown visited the place.
 Regents W. W. Bent, Bart Brady and A J. Williamson of local Royal Ar canuna councils visited the morgue in an attempt to make Identification on account of the s'V M e. ring found near the body. They identified the ring as a symbol of the order but no member had been reported to them as missing. Grand Secretary Hoadley of New Haven has been notified.

Last year S1.114 was cleared from the stamps. This money has accomplished untold good where ft was most needed and. as the distress promises to be even greater this sea- son, it is hoped that the receipts from this years sale will be much greater

The Emden has contributed to the history of the war as thus far record ed, one of it's most remarkable chap ters. For sheer audacity and success of accomplishment it has few paral- lels-certainly none since the Ala bama, the famous old Confederate warship, was roaming the Atlantic.
 Twenty two ships, mostly British. have been sunk, and one has heen captured by the German cruiser.
 Since early in August the Enden has been at work. Most of the time she was preying on British shipping in the Indian Ocean, but late last month she suddenly appeared at Pen ang, on Malacca Straits. . It was here daring feat. A fourth smokestack was put on her deck and a Japanese flag run up. Thus disguised, she steamed boldly into the harbor, passing un- challenged under the British guns of the fort. and fired torpedoes which sunk the Russian cruiser Jemtchugs and a French destroyer. Then she took to her heels and escaped un- scathed through the straits.
 The vessels destroyed by the Elm den had a total value of about $4,- 000s0O0 exclusive of their cargoes. The Enden's largest guns were only 4. inch, of which she had 10. Her SQS0Oe Ol 64o uOIS Was Ter SIScIL0Sb asset, as she had been able to run down merchant ships with ease and then escape from larger but slower war vessels that have pursued her. British, Russian. French and Japan ese warships in the east have been attempting for weeks to put an end to her career.
 It has been more or less of a mys- fiery to naval men how the Emden has been able to keep at sea month after month, without running short of coal and supplies. It is assumed however, that she has obtained suHi- cient food and fuel from captured ships to meet her needs In at least one instance this is known to have been done.
 The captain of the British steamer E1ford, captured by the Emden in the Indian Ocean, reported to his owners that the commander of the Finder ! said that before he sank the Exford

Looking Ahead.

We wonder what will happen
during the next twelve months.
We know the past. but no one
has yet been able to lift the veil
and let US look upon the things
that lie beyond the present.
It's good thing, after all, that
we cannot, for otherwise what a
miserable lot of people there
would be in the world! Would it
please you very much to know
that during 1914 you will make a
poor crop or that you will be
killed in an accident.
Would there be much joy in
your heart if you were certain
that the person you love best was
TO be taken from you by disease?
An alI-wise Creator nercifully
hides from our vision the ex-
periences that are to come to us
on the morrow. The New Year is
to US therefore d sealed book. 1t
may bring to US poverty or riches,
joy or sorrow, failure or success,
but whatever comes we should
meet it with unflinching courage.
We are now passing through a
period of adjustment following
the enactment of the new tariff
schedule. Until business adjusts
itself to new conditions we cannot
expect great prosperity. However
let us hope for the best.

Better take the Paper.

We once knew a man who
was too stingy TO take the news
paper in this parish and always
went over 70 borrow his neigh
boris paper.
One evening he sent his son
over to borrow the paper, and
while the son was on the way he
ran into large stand of bees,
and in a few minutes his face
looked like a summer squash.
Hearing the agonized cries of
the son, the father went to his as
sistance and in doing so ran into
q barbed wire fence, cutting a
handfulof flesh from his anatomy
and running a Sd pair of trousers
The old COW took advantage
of the hole in the fence, got into
the cornfleld and killed herself
eating green corn. Hearing the
racket, the stingy mans wife
ran out Of the house, upsetting a
four gallon churn full of cream
/ into q basket of kittens, drown
ing the whole flock. She slipped
ON the cream and fell downstairs,
breaking her leg and a $19 set OF
false teeth. The baby, left alone,
crawled through the spilled cream
into the parlor and ruined $40
carpet. During the excitement
the daughter eloped with the
hired man. taking the family
savings bank with them. !"
