SPLENDID LAYOUT OF BELVIDfRE
Best Building Lots in Town for
 Sale by BOdWcl Land Co.

Cut through the middle by Stanley street, which has good pavement, elec- tric lights, and a double row of trees fanking each side, the land of the Bodwell land company Belvidere and Belvidere Manor extends from Allen street to Francis street comprising one hundred and fifty acres of the best building lots in the town of New aside from the splendid nature of the soil and the generally satisfactory location of the land itself is the access ibility of the place. A twenty minute trolley service from the center leads directly through it, and the center is only eight minutes away
 Belvidere and Belvidere Manor which three years ago were farms, now boast of four miles of cement sidewarks, at least thirty houses, and streets going in all directions lined with young and growing trees, set out by the land company. Nearly all the land is restricted, and the re- strictions are so high that none but desirable residents are assured, while at the same time they are not so high that they cannot be maintained.
 Courteous and considerate treat ment of it's customers is always the aim of the Bodwell land company Most of the land is sold on an asy pay ment basis, but never are the terms of the contract so strictly enforced that a man through sickness and want of employment forfeits a home on which he has made payments. They believe that their best advertisement is the satisfied customer who tells his friends of square treatment. A num- Der of men, for the four seasons that have passed since the company began to sell land in Belvidere, have re- turned each year and bought another lot, testifying thus their belief that the treatment they receive and the land they buy are both satisfactory.-adv

AMERICANS ANXIOUS
 TO RETURN HOME
Tourists Sc,k ng Transportation to
 Un.iGd Sia,eS.

London, Aug. 1.-American tourists sightseeing trips today and f1ocked to Cockspur street where the headquar- ters of the transatlantic steamship companies are situated, to try and book passages home. The companies 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 sailing the latter part of August or early in September.
 The one and only object of the American travellers appeared to be to get home as soon as possible.
 Want to Visit Homes.
 The crowd of tourists was augment ed by many American and Canadian residents who owing to the disloca- tion of business, were desirous of talk ing the opportunity of visiting their homes.
 The Cunard, the White Star and other British and Dutch lines did an immense business, accepting many passengers who had intended to sail on HamburgAmerican liners. all of which had been definitely withdrawn from the service. The withdrawal of IaProvence of the French Trans At lantic line. also provided a lot of cus- toners for the steamship companies still doing business.
 Maximum Rates Charged.
 Maximum rates were charged by all the companies, and many passen- gers paid high premiums for tickets to those who had them, but preferred taking the profit in the hope of get ting home later at a lower rate.
 The French Transatlantic line and the North German Lloyd still accept ed bookings for their steamers to- day but most of the would-be passen- gers seemed to prefer British vessels.
 The Hamburg American and other German companies have ordered their vessels in all parts of the ,+orld to seek neutral ports and if the crisis continues shipping soon will be en- tirely dislocated.
 Returns to Rome.
 The Cunard liner Mauretania. sail ing today from Liverpool, has a full complement of passengers. As the ordinary homeward rush to America had not begun when her sailing was announced, she was able to provide accommodation for many who had in- tended to sail on the Imperator.
 Thomas Nelson Page, American ambassador to Italy who had booked passage on the Imperator, decided to- day to return to Rome in view of the critical situation.

BILLIARD RESIGNS FROM 1
 NEW HAVEN BOARD
Also Leaves Directorate Of New
 England Navigation Company.

New Haven, Conn.,, Aug. 1.-The resignation of John L. Billiard of Meriden from the directorate of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and the New England Navi- gation company, was announced here yesterday. The announcement was made in statement issued by Homer S Cummings of Stamford, counsel for MT. Billiard, after a consultation with MT. Billiard. The statement says:
 "Mr. Billiard today sent in his resig nation as a member of the board of directors of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad company and of the New England Navigation company. If MT. Billiard had con- suited his personal desires he would have sent in his resignation several months ago, as it has been his de- sire for some time to be relieved as far as possible of business cares.
 Opportunities of Friends.
 ''He refrained from sending in his resignation because of the impor- tunities of friends and his associates, and because it did not seem desirable to take any step which might change the status of affairs while the Inter state commerce commission was inves- tlgating the financial transactions of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company.
 ''In view of the fact, however, that that investigation has been completed and a formal report filed, MT. Billiard now feels free to submit his resigna- ton. It is only fair to say that there is an additional reason for filing his resignation.
 Might Embarrass Associates.
 "The report of the Interstate com merce commission deals in part with the relations between the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad company and the Billiard company. A committee of the directors of the railroad has been appointed to inves- tigate and report further upon the Billiard company affairs, so far as the railroad company may be interested in them. MT. Billiard feels that his continued presence on the board of directors might possibly be embar- rassing to his associates in conduct ing their investigation and it is his wish that such investigation should be as full i, as complete and unlimited in scope as the most exacting could require. Under these circumstances it will be manifest that the action taken by MT. Billiard was dictated by the strictest sense of propriety.'

SOCIALIST
 LEADER ASSASS|NA7ED
Jean JSureS Shot While DininQ in
 Restaurant Near the BOuTSe.

Paris, Aug. 1.-Jean Leon Jaures, the noted socialist leader, was assas- sinated last night while dining in small restaurant near the Bourse. The, assassin was arrested, but refused to disclose his identity. Later he was identified as Raou1 Villain, twenty nine years of age and said to be the son of clerk in the civil court at Rheims.
 The minister of the interior, Louis Malvy, on hearing of the crime, left the meeting of the council and order ed precautions to be taken to prevent demonstrations. ...
 Seated at Table.
 M. Jaures was seated at a dinner table near an open window, facing the Rue Montmatre, chatting with several socialist deputies and the edi- tors of L'Humanite. As though by pre-arrangement, the curtain cover ing the window was lightly brushed aside and hand holding a revolver was thrust through.
 Before M. Jaures could make a move he received two bullets in the back of the head. Without uttering even an exclamation he fell forward and expired with his head on the table.
 Shots Startle Diners.
 The reports oI the shots startled the diners and passersby and the assas- sin was seized. In his pocket was an- other loaded revolver. The police rescued him from the crowd which shouted: "Assassin!" Death to the assassin!'
 The body of the noted deputy was placed in a city conveyance, which, surrounded by weeping comrades and friends, proceeded through the streets to his home, followed by detach- ment of republican guards. There were shouts of Viva Jaures" by some in the crowd and similar shouts and a demonstration in front of the of flee of L'Humanite, and in the boule- wards when the news became general ly known.
 It is reported that the assassin first telephoned to the restaurant which was a favorite dining place of M. Jaures, to ascertain if he was there Noted Socialist Leader. Jean Leon Juares had been the ac- knowledged leader of the French So- cialists for the last fifteen years. As statesman, journalist debater and or ator, he had given his splendid abil1- ties to their cause without stint, and no favor of office or profit could win him from them. He dreamed of peace to come through economic freedom and built his hope upon d knowledge and undaunted spirit that lifted him in the thoughts of his con- temporaries, even those who were bit terly opposed to his programme. Chancellor von Buelow, denying - Jaures the privilege of speaking In Berlin found an excuse in the temper of German Socialists rather than in the ideas of the French leader. Juares spea king as the foe of mili- tarism, hurled into the face of Ger many the threat that if she sought to make France a hostage in the event of war with England there would leap forth a resistance un- equalled in the history of the world.

London, Aug 1.-The National Penny Bank, an institution with many branches where small deposits are re- ceived, was closed today.
 In announcing their decision to close the doors the directors said that owing to the serious financial situa- tion at home and abroad, which has caused all stock exchange securities to suffer enormous depreciations so that they cannot be easily realized upon, and because of the further diff ficu1ty in obtaining gold coins, the di rectors feel compelled in the interest of depositors to suspend business for a time.

Vera Cruz, May 1S.-A letter receIV- ed here from British resident or Mexico City contains the information that Germans and British and Japan csc are drilling in preparation for the defense of the concentration districts This activity, according to the letter, has grown out of fear of an attack on the capital by the Zapata forces, who routed the federal garrison at Topilejo, few miles to the south several days ago. This is said to be the only cause for alarm felt in the capital.

if certain contingencies now in pros- pect develop, it may go considerably farther.
 This haste on the part of the United States is accentuated by the ever-ln- creasing suspense regarding the rate of Private Parks, Vice and Deputy Consul Silliman and Edward Depew Doster, correspondent of the lnterna- tional News Service, and by the possi- bility of clash with the federal gun boats, which are now cruising on the eastern coast.
 May Blockade TampicO.
 In all likelihood if there is any de- lay in the constitutionalist program, this government will be brought face to face with the necessity of deciding what it will do, in the event the fed eral gunboats return to Tampico to blockade that port against the entry of vessels bearing arms for the con- stitutiona1ists.
 The constitutionalists have no navy. merchant vessel bringing in arms for their use.
 The administration has this in mind. It has declined to announce what it would do if the federal gum boats should start to attack such a vessel Nevertheless, it is trailing the gunboats with scout cruiser on the pretext that they must be prevented from interfering with American trans ports or merchant vessels.
 As to the rumored resignation of Huerta, information was obtained to- day from three cabinet officers that no proposition originated with Huerta or in his behalf looking to his resig- nation on any terms has been receiv- ed by this government.
 | It was also learned that Huerta has been told he must get out, and that this government does not consider he is in any position to dictate terms. l How Delegates Are Regarded. The officials who talked on the sub- ject said that the representatives at Niagara Falls would be regarded henceforth as the representatives o1 the faction" at present headed by Huerta, and that after his elimination they will be recognized officially as such"
 The delegates sent by Huerta are not accredited to the United States government; they are accredited tt the mediators. For this reason, it ha: not been necessary for the United States government to recognize then officially and thus the administrator has been able to avoid the embarrass ment of attempting to recognize then - without, by intimation, recognizing Huerta. When Huerta is eliminated then, and not until then, will they b
 officially recognized by this govern
 ment as the representatives of a "fac
 tiOn."
 Governing Mexico. This fits in with the full purpose o the presidents mediation plan. Tn : administration has reason to believ
 that as soon as Huerta personally l out of this, the negotiators at Niagar Falls will be joined by representative of Carranza, and Villa and Zapats and that all clements then will jol
 in a comprehensive scheme for tn settlement of Mexico's troubles.
