Force Doors Open at Gaines Place
 and Take Valuable Papers.
GETS WAR MESSAGES ON WIRELESS
Alden Lincoln's Instrument Catches Important News Items-Funeral of Mrs Kanupka-IincOlns Hear From Daughter in Europe.

Thieves, evidently professionals, broke into E. H. Gaines grocery store in East Berlin last night and, al- though they carried away but little, did much damage about the place, the owner estimating his loss at about fifty dollars. He is most concerned about some valuable papers which were taken from the safe.
 When A. E. Bacon. a clerk in MT. Gaines employ arrived at the store this morning, he found the front door stood partly ajar. Upon furthering his investigation, he found that, not only had the lock on the outside front door been broken, but that the one on the inside front door had suffered similarly From all appearances, the doors had been forced open with the use of "jimmies."
 MT. Bacon hurried to inform Mr. Gaines of the state of affairs and to- gether they spent much of the morn ing in looking up clues They found that the cash till had been tempered with and that desk had been smashed open with some blunt in- strument, probably a hammer.
 The greatest damage was done in the safe, which MT. Gaines has not been in the habit of locking, owing to the fact that he seldom keeps money there. It could be seen that the thieves had ransacked every drawer in an endeavor to locate cash. An iron door to small compartment in the safe, where the proprietor of the store kept some papers valuable in the business, was found to be com- pletely demolished No trace can be found of the drawer nor it's contents which could be of absolutely no value to the miscreants
 Two jimmies' and q large ham rner were lying on the floor near the safe when MT Gaines and his clerk entered the store, and they deduced from the fact that these instruments were used, and from the general con- dition of the store, that the work had been done by professionals Mir. Gaines is inclined to the oninion that the party was composed of three persons, he having found three gin ger ale bottles empty.
 Some boxes of hosiery had been torn open and the contents strewn all about the store.
 Neighbors said today that they heard noises near the store about midnight A woman who lives next door had gotten up to swat mosq.toes shortly after 12 o'clock. She heard some nammering, but thought little of the matter as she concluded that some one was fixing chicken coop in the re><.

The state board of agriculture 1 issued today handbook of fairs to be held in Connecticut this fall and the dates of the exhibitions
 An interesting announcement in the book is one to the extent that the state of Connecticut appropriates annually (beginning with this year) $12,oOO for the encouragement of agricultural fairs. Added to this, the moneys re- ceived in paid admissions and from other sources, it is found that there is expended in the promotion of local, county and state fairs, the sum of $196, 900. -
 The handbook embodies also model cards for scoring the different breeds of cattle.
 May Decline to Accept Money Orders.
 Communications which Postmistress Marjorie Moore and Postmaster Henry L. Porter, have received. bear the fol- lowing information:
 The treaties concluded by the United States with foreign countries give each postal administration power to suspend. temporarily, the exchange of nrda in he go of exchange, or any other circum stance, should give rise to abuses, or cause detriment to the postal revenue
 The sudden and extraordinary ad- vance in bankers exchange due to the public apprehension of a general Eu- ropean war may lead to abuses to the money order system because of the much lower rates of conversion ob- tainable at post offices.
 "1n these unusual circumstances, and until the return of normal con- ditions, postmasters may decline to accept applications for international money orders when made for unusu- ally large sums. and when there IS reason to believe the orders are wanted for speculative purposes. In every such case, however, immediate

 Twenty-Five or more laborers were thrown out of employment yesterday when the H. $. Tallard Brick com pany, better known as the Berlin Brick company, closed down for the remainder of the season. The brick sheds are full, and the concern feels that it is in a position to supply all the demand that will be made of It until operations are begun again next spring.
 It is expected that the Merwin and Murray Brick companies will close down within a few days. As a conse- quence, the number of the towns un- employed will be materially in creased.

 Sunday Baseball.
 Placards were distributed in New Britain today announcing baseball game for next Sunday afternoon at the Electric Field between the Skis of the Hardware city and the Pitts field nine.
 The announcement follows out statements recently made by the management that an effort would be made this summer to give an exhibi- tion at the field.
 Rev. F. l.. Grant, pastor of the Congregational church, who hereto fore has been the leader of the op position to Sunday baseball, is at present attending a conference at Shoal Island off the New Hampshire coast and there is considerable speculation as to what will be the ia te of the efforts of the New Britain magnate.
 John E. Lamb is chairman of the citizens committee appointed by the opposition to stop the Hardware City nine from playing and in the absence of MT. Grant it is likely that, he will  ton.
 It was stated today that in all probability there will be no repitition of the row which attended the stop ping of Sunday game two years ago, the opposition satisfying itself with getting officers to arrest the manage ment and some of the offending play CTS.
 The experiment will be watched with interest.

SMALL MIDNIGHT FIRE.

Engine company Mo- was called at 1923 o'clock this morning for a small blaze at 543 Main street, the house occupied by pr. F. A. B. Forrest The front porch was on fire but the blaze was soon extinguished The damage is r1aced at about $10 by Dr. Forrest, although he is unable to account for the origin of the fire.
 It is thought possible that a cigar or cigarette butt thrown aside by some laborers during the afternoon, may have been the cause.

It is thought that the thieves were frightened away, and, believing that the safe drawer contained money, | took it along to investigate more thoroughly when they reached safe ground.
 This is the third time in little more than a year that MT. Gaines store has been entered. About three months ago, thieves broke in through the rear door and stole various small articles.
 The town authorities have been noti- fled and a rigorous search is being made for the offenders who, it is thought, may still be in town.
 Receive Word From Daughter.
 MT. and Mrs. J. c. Lincoln of yesterday from their daughter Miss Lista Lincoln, who was caught near the seat of war activities at the open ing of hostilities. The letter was written July 25 and made no allusion to the threatening situation.
 The Lincolns have no knowledge of the exact whereabouts of their daughter They hope that she is in Italy, but realize that there is pos- sibility of her being in Germany, which country will not allow tourists to go outside the boundaries and which is now cut off from the rest of the world.
 Miss Lincoln had a number of trav- elers' checks with her, but they are useless now as they will not be cashed by the banks in Europe. Her rarents would like to get cablegram through to her, but are unable to do so as they do not know just where she is It Is probable that she will return on one of the boats which the United States government is to send over to Europe for the relief of the unfortunate tourists

of its strongest days.
Four witnesses, three women and
one man, all of Opelousas and who
said they knew the Dunbar child in

she was a relative of Mrs. Dunbar.
Mrs. Jephta Bilbo, one Of the defense's

ing President Wilson's determination
to compel Huerta to respect the Amer

ment giving the reasons for their votes.
The statement follows:
1--WE did not think the facts justf
fed a declaration of war. The pay
master of the Dolphin and few of his
men were arrested by subordinate of
.ficers of the Mexican Federal army.
The superior officer, learning of the ar
rest, ordered the men released. The
officer making the arrest apologized
and Huerta sent expressions of regret,
giving as an excuse for the arrest that
martial law prevailed at Tampico at
the time.
This did not satisfy Admiral Mayo
and he insisted that 21 guns be fired
as a salute to the American flag
Huerta agreed to fire five guns Ad
miral Mayo's ultimatum was 81 guns
or fight.
These are the facts. We did NO,
think this sufficient reason for war
The fact that Huerta would not flrt
more than FIVE guns in answer to oul
demand for 81 guns does not justif,
war. Since the Huerta governmen
was not recognized by the Unite
States as a government we have n
right to demand salute as q goverr
