THINKS WIFE FELL
 INTO BALTIC RIVER
Harold Anderson Feels That Mrs. An- derson Did Not Commit Suicide.
 But Was Drowned Accidentally.

That he believes his wife, Mrs. Hilma Anderson, became dizzy and fell into the Shetucket river Satur- day, and did not commit suicide as is the popular theory, is the sense of a statement given Herald rep resentative this morning by Harold Anderson of Kensington.
 There was no reason whatever why my wife should take her own life,'' said the distracted husband. No trouble ever separated us and we have always been happy together with our children ,.a
 MT. Anderson says he has been in- formed that his wife, while return ing to her mothers home in Baltic from that of her sister, was seen to go down to a bridge spanning the river. Later she was seen standing on the stone foundation, he says, and in the opinion of her relatives be- came dizzy while standing there and fell into the stream, which is now being dragged for her body. As there is no fence at this point, some Baltic authorities are inclined to give credence to MT. Anderson's version.

 out of bed at 60 Cherry street this
 morning shortly after 1 o'clock by
 five policemen and placed under ar
 rest on charge of being a fugitive
 The arrest was made at the request of Joseph Faurot, inspector of detec- tives and famous the world over as a modern Sherlock Holmes

 had that Deglimardio was hiding in this city was when a telegram was
 received from Faurot at 5:24 o'clock
 yesterday afternoon asking that he
 be taken into custody and held. The telegram stated that he was wanted
 for grand larceny and had been in-
 dicted on a bench warrant. No furth-
 CT details were received With the ex- ception that Faurot suspected the fugitive of hiding at | 60 Cherry
 After plans had been made for Deglimardio's capture, Tony Loperfi-
 do, nephew of the fugitive and the complainant against him, walked in- to police headquarters and presented a letter of introduction from John A.
 Mcneil of the Sixty-fifth detective di- vision, New York. At 1 o'clock this
 morning Officers He1lberg, Wagner.
 Quinn, c. Johnson and Burke were sent to the address and Deglimardio
 was placed under arrest without any struggle. Captain Grace questioned the ac- l cused at headquarters and obtained a l confession of guilt, it is said by the 1 police. Deglimardio is said to have admitted stealing from his nephew 1 and said the money is in New York city. He also said he was willing to
 go back to New York without extra
 ditlon papers and make restitution.
 After Deglimardio had been locked
 up, Captain Grace searched his satch-
 el and found s298.20 wrapped in an I old vest
 l The police received telegram this | morning sfrom Inspector Faurot l thanking them for making the arrest and stating that detective from New York would start for this city at the l earliest possible moment Deglimardio was brought into po- l lice court and pleaded not guilty to I being a fugitive from justice Judge l James T.

QU|ClfY HAS HIS HAMMER
 OUT FOR CITY OFFICIALS
Says Clique Has Controlled City Hall for Eight
 Years.

Alderman George A. Quigley, can- didate for the republican nomination for mayor, made the ears of present city officials burn in a noon day rally today on Orchard street. addressing employes of P. & F. Corbins and the Corbip Cabinet Lock company.
 AmonS his statements was that $5O,0OO had been spent for the pur- chase or park lands that were not worth more than. $5,00O. He said he believed in marks and plenty of them, but he also believed in pay- ing not more than Iheir propar values.
 Improved housing conditions and extension of trolley lines were two things he urged. He said there had been no extension of the trolley ser- vice because real estate men were opposed to it. The improvement had been held up through purely mercenaryi motives, he said.
 If I am elected mayor I am go- ing to work for all the people and not for any political clique that has controlled city hall for eight years" he said. Tt is neither the democrats nor the republicans that run city hall, but a mbination of both, demo- cratic republican ring.
 "I will make the city building self supporting. When We bought it we were told it would have a net in- come of $3,000 and now it shows nothing but deficit. And why? Because of mismanagement
 Three men control the water de- partment and they do as they please. We have no control over them butt I believe in amending the charter so we will have absolute contrpl of that department.
 T think We need better method of street building and supervision. If you don't put a practical man at the head of the board of public works you can't get good streets"
 Before, concluding his talk Alder man Quigley said he was not run ming a booze campaign. The man who enters his office to touch Jim for $5 because he says he contrds sev- eral votes will go down the steps faster than he came up. He also assured his auditors that he was n ot promising the same job to twenty people as he understood other can- didates were doing.
 Alderman Quigley was cheered as the automobile from which he poke bore him away.
