SEN. SPElLACY'S AUTO IN A THREE CORNERED CRASH Couple on Motorcycle Badly Injured When Gar Tries
 to Avoid Collision BAKERY WAGON, TOO,
 FIGURES IN SMASH Hartford Lawyer, Hurrying to Beside of Wife, Arrest
 ed Pending Inquiry

Attempting to avoid g colliion be- tween his automobile and a motor cycle ridden by MT. and Mrs. Frank vejczik, 26 Hansen avenue, former State Senator Thomas J. Spellacy of Hartford, prominent attorney and politician, figured in a three corner ed crash shortly before T o'clock to- day at Fairfield and Hansen avenues while on his way to Philadelphia where Mrs. Spe11acy is i'll. A grocery delivery wagon driven by William Eicke, 10 Nash Lane, was demolished without injury to MT. Eicke and the horse.
 MT. and Mrs. Vejczik were taken to St. Vincent'S hospital in an am bu1ance, the former suffering from fractured ribs, general shock and contusions, the latter with a dislo- cated right arm and general shocks. The automobile was little damaged. Although not considered to have been negligent, following police investiga- ton, Attorney Spellacy was held un- der reckless driving charges for 8 hearing November T with bonds fix ed at $100. Befofe leaving to con- lyt1nue5 his trip he expressed great con- cern over the conditions of the vic ttrns and satisfied himself that they had been given every attention
 According to police investigation, the stories of the principals and one witness, F. B. Hickman, of 22s2 Fair field avenue, the automobile occupied by Attorney Spellacy and Thomas s. Smith. also of Hartford, was going west on the right side while Eickass team vase cming towards Bridgeport, also on it's right side. As Hansen avenue was reached the motorcycIe was noted coming down the hill at such a, rate that Attorney SpeIIacy saw collision would result. He turned sharply to the 1aft but was not in time to prevent the motor cycle running sqnarely into the au- tornobile. As he turned the wagon was caught in such manner as to practically demo1ish 1t, throwing Eicke out.
 Attorney spelIacy and MT. snith gave first aid treatment. According to the police report, MT. Eicke made no complaint and recognized that the accident was unavoidable. Policeman rlyqufst was detailed from the Third precinct to investigate

 Berlin, Oct. Sly wireless to Say Information given out for the press in official quarters today is as follows.
 Military experts of the Berlin newspapers consider that yesterday s developments around Verdun were of the greatest importance and say there is promise of their resumption with renewed strength; Tn the fighting south of Verdun Jthe French are straining every effort to crush and drive out the army which the end of September penetrated as far as St Mihiel. The Germans have now cap tured the main position and their forces are operating from the direc- . ton of Toul.
 The French attack from Pont-Ay- Mousson also was without result At tention can now again be directed to the original object of this campaign
 The opening of naval hostiIities by Turkey promises to divert the at tention of the Russian forces which have been campaigning in Poland, where they were about to concentrate superior forces against the armies of Germany and Austria. Nothing new has been reported from Poland
 Austria announces officially that the Russian advaneeN against the Aus trian positions in the region of Turlza has been repulsed.''

CALLS
 KINGS BLUFF
He Ought to Know Better Than to Threaten Law yers With Libel Suits, Says Attorney General.

When shown the threats of suit for libel Issued last night by John T. King, after the substance of the speech and affidavit produced by Attorney Gem eral John H. Light at a rally of the progressives at Stratford, Thursday night and published here exclusively in the Bridg Evening Farmer had been shown to him yesterday, the att torney general today made sportdve comment on the proposed action.
 Iaughing1y commenting upon the recent suit brought against Theodore Roosevelt by Boss Barnes in New York state. he compared the two acc tons and pointed out that, if insti- tuted, this action would be of sirni- lar nature. ''It is apparent" con- tiTued the attorney general. "that 1t will be expedient for MT. King to bring this suit, especially in view of the proximity of the present cleo tions though have no fear as to the outcome.
 Further establishing his position Attorney Light said that the B. N. Beard afi1davit is aa simple recttal of fact that is easily susceptible of proof.'s
 Referring to MT Kings interview as printed th the Hartford Courant stoday. in which afr. King is quoted ae saying that he win neither accept an apology or retraction, the atlor- QSy general SLaIG0, He WILL walt a. long time before he gets eftheF.'A
 This mornings interview with the we'll known state of1cial terminated by the remark that ''King ought to know better than to bluff a lawyer with threats of suit for s1ander,', in timating that he was too well dn- trenched in his position to do other than stand by his guns and possibly produce other documents which would substantiate the one that has already made such a profound sensation over the whole state. Continuing, MT. Light said of King: He Is the boss of the Republican party in Bridgeport and one of J. Henry Roraback's chief Eeutenants in the management of the state cam paign. Tn a speech he made at the Mckinley dinner some months ago he confessed that he and his associates had done wrong in the past in mak- and controlling the nominations and that he was satisfied that. the party would not stand for that any longer, and promised not to do that sort of thing any more, but everyone knows how he has kept his word. He suc- ceeded at the last convention in load ing down the ticket with two Fairfield county men who cannot and should not be elected.
 T think I can safely promise Mr. King more law and surprises in the pending action than he dreams Of He should know better than to think he can bluff a lawyer with a law suit"

 The story of the European war was again slow in the teIl- ing today but such fragments of news as the censors per mitted to pass indicated that along the North Sea the chief point of present concern for the nations involved, it was still battle of give and take.
 Of immediate interest was a semi-officiaI note from Rome indicating that Italy might tal1e more definite stand in the struggle. It is said that the Island of Saseno, commanding the harbor of AvIona, Albania, ownership of which has long been disputed by Greece and Italy, has been seized by Italian forces.
 The French war office, in today's official statement, ac- IxnoWledges the fiercest Ger man onslaught. shifted few miles to the casts and south from the coast, has met with success at points. Two towns south of Ypres, in Belgium, just north of the border are mentioned by the. French as having been captured by the Germans. Further east, 1t is said, some ground has been won by the allies. Along the entire western front, from the sea to Arras, the Germans re- stunned general offensive move following the sIacIening activity of the last few days, but according to the French war office nothing has been accomplished on either side more than alternate move ments of advance and retreat. Further indefinite claims arc made of gains at other points along the line which stretches south and east to the Swiss border. No word is spoken to confirm the unofficial state ments of last night that the Germans had evacuated Os- tend.
 In the east the battle of mil lions continues without defi- nite result. An Austrian de- feat in east Prussian front is reported by the Russian em- bassy at Washington. The lat est word from the Austrian government is that reverses have been suffered by the Rus sians at various points in Ga Iicia.
