AUTO HITS FENCE
 DRIVER IS KILLED
J. F. Grove, New Haven Chauffeur, Meets Death on Milford
 Turnpike.

New Haven, Sept 17-John +. Grove, aged twenty-five, died at the hospital today from injuries received early today when an automobile which he was driving on the Milford turn pike about at the Orange-Milford lino, ran into a fence. Few facts were ob- tainable by the coroner or medical ex- aminer during the morning. It is un- derstood Grove was running the ma. chine without lights.
 He was headed for New Haven or his own side of the highway and turned to avoid a wagon which we.s ahead. He apparently turned too abruptly. The only evidence at the scene was the broken fence. The ma chine was brought into this city by an employe of a garage in which tho machine belonged Grove wa; brought to the New Haven hospital " a man who immediately left, and n" witness of the accident could be found.
 Grove had been employed by a local firm as a chauffeur. Some years ago his father and a brother were killed while driving a delivery wagon over a railroad crossing on Webster srteet.

PRESIDENT DISCUSSES
 AFFAIRS WITH LANSING
British Note Ready-May Recognize Carranza -
 Await German Reply.

Washington, Sept. 17.-President Wilson and Secretary Lansing had a general conference on international affairs today just before the secre- tary left for ten days vacation. No pressing developments in any of the situations confronting the United States are expected before MT. Lan-
 sings return.
 MT. Lansing announced that the l new note to Great Britain on inter ference with American trade had been completed.
 The note is very long and has been in preparation for some time. It's
 dispatch has been delayed not only on account of a desire to gather com rlete information but because the United States was unwilling, while the negotiations with Germany were at a critical point to be placed in the posi- ton of being forced to protest to Great Britain in order, to obtain an acquiescence by Germany in the viewpoint of the United States Cn submarine questions.
 It is not believed that the note will go until some definite word is re- ceived from Berlin on Germanys position in the submarine cases.
 One of the most interesting features of the note is to be the American governments vigorous objection to the British governments attitude that the burden of proof rests upon the owners Or shippers of cargoes, the United States holding that it is the duty of the British government to prove the guilt of the shipper.
 The president conferred at length with the secretary on Mexican affairs. Although both have in mind a tenta- tive course of action, the views of all the n-American conferees will be sought tomorrow at the meeting in New York before decision is made 'as to future steps.
 Prospects for the recognition Of Carranza are at present more favor able, chiefly because of his military advances. On account of the conflict ing claims as to control of territory however, it is considered certain that milton, the Pan-American conferees will ask representatives of General Carranza, General Villa and other fac tjons to come before them with de- tiled information concerning their respective movements and a decision will be reached after careful study of all viewpoints.

VIENNA IS EXPECTED TO RECALL AMBASSADOR
Close Of Dumba Incident Thought to Be Near
 at Hand.

Washington, Sept. 17.-The Aus trian government intends to recall Ambassador Dumba for consultation according to intimatlons given to Am bassador Penfield when he delivered the note from the United States ask ing the return of the ambassador to Austria.
 Such an arrangement, which is in accord with Ambassador Dumba's S own request for recall on leave of absence, is satisfactory to the Ameri- can government. It is understood, however, that MT Du--ha would not return to the United States at the termination of his leave of absence. The purpose of these arrangements, it is understood, is to cause no inter- ruption in the diplomatic relations in the two governments, the change be- ing looked upon as a personal affair.
 Thsce is every indication from Am bassador Penfield's despatches that the Austrian government received the American note in a friendly spirit looks upon it as the usual request of a government for the recall of an ambassado on the ground that his usefulness as to his own government had been impaired.
 It is now expected that Ambassa- dor Dumba will receive word from his own foreign office that he is want ed in Vienna for consultation. The government will arrange same con- duct and with the Austrian embassy left in charge of a charge d'affaires, the incident will be closed.

SUPERVISION SENDS
 WORD OF SAFETY
Arctic Traveller, Given Up as Lost,
 Is Located
TO CONTINUE EXPLORATIONS

Expedition Tells of Plans to Go
 Further North Without Return to
 Civilization.
 Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 17.-First def mite tidings that the world has re- ceived from Vilhjalmar Stefansson. the Artic explorer, for a year and a half were received today by the naval department, which sent him and his companions on their perilous trip to the frozen north. The tidings were meagre but sufficient to show that he and his companions are safe.
 The message from Stefansson was dated from Baillie Island, Aug. 31, via Nome, Alaska Sept. 16, and stated that he was to continue his northern exploration. The message follows:
 "As unavoidable delays threatened and the running cost of chartering Polar Bear was high I purchased her and engaged her on terms similar to Karluk. Engaged Hoff, engineer of schooner Ruoy, to take place of Blue of Alaska. Engaged five extra helpers for southern parts who have ample outfit for one year and Polar Bear for two years. Plan continue northern exploration of 145 west and S2 north if northerly course is se- cured"
 Stefansson's determination to pro- ceed with his explorations, despite the loss of the Karluk, the chief vessel in his original expedition, shows the calibre of the man and this news was received with qualification by officials here. Ire Polar Bear, engaged by him in place of the Karluk is we'll known and tried Artic vessel and he seems to have gathered supplies for a further stay of two years in the
 Baillie Islands, from which Stef- ansson's message is dated, are east of the mouth of the Mackenzie river towards Banks Land and lie in lati tude 70 north. longitude 127 west.
 The coasts of Baille Islands which are separated. from Cape Bathurst by a narrow channel are so flat that the few boats that have reached there have had to anchor nearly a mile from the beach.

They were the Eighth, Eleventh and Sixteenth. The Four teenth met in Meriden. Harland's named three ,nnecticut regiments and the Fourth Rhode Island, and uf which the late Genera! E lward liar land of Norwica Che died March, g.. last) was commander, also held it's annual reunlon here and numerous Rhode Island men were among the old soldier visitors. The Eighth met in historic old City hall, the Eleventh in Lyon Post hall and the Sixteenth in Tyler Post hall. There is a liberal display of colors in the center of the city in honor of the day and the veterans. Today is in addition the thirty-six anniversary of the re-
 
 stained regimental flags from the old state arsenal to the capitol, one of the biggest days of the kind that Connecticut ever saw.

Russians Falling Back

.& London, Sept. 17, 11:45 a. m.-Ee- trograd admits the Russians are fall ing back in the direction of Pinsk ca pture of which was announced yes- terday by the Germans, Occupation of this town by the invaders may be expected to facilitate greatly the pro- gress of Field Marshal Won Macken- sens forces through the Pripel Marshes.
 Owing to the propagation of the Duma domestic affairs are occupying the attention of the Russians. The effect of this incident on the military situation is feared, as is indicated by the proclamation of General Ruzsky, Russian commander in the north, calling upon workmen not to slacken their efforts to keep the army sup piled with munitions.
 Although no official reports have been received recently from French or British sources, severe fighting seems to be underway again on the Gallipoli front. The Turks, accord ing to their reports, have made several successful attacks in the region of sAnafarta. Athens and Rome continue to send out reports that the defensive power of the Turks is weakening, but nc official news has been received in confirma ton.
 Dispatches from Greece express strong belief that Turkey and Bull garia have definitely reached an agree ment, but in the near east it is not believed this will lead to actual par ticipation in the war by Bulgaria on the side of the central powers. Nor is an immediate offensive by Austro- German forces expected against Ser bia.
 Artillery combats continue on the western front. The German reply to French guns is growing in intensity.

Former Mayor of Ansonia Admits
 Appropriating Funds
HELD FOR SUPERIOR COURT
Treasurer of Savings Bank spends Night in Cell Procuring $1O,OOO Bands Today-Crowds Surround Rank

Ansonia, Sept. 17.-Former Mayor Burton Franklin Burton pleaded guilty in the city court this morning to embedding sS6,OOO from the An sonia Savings bank, of which he was treasurer and was bound over to the October term of the superior court, New Haven. Bonds were fixed at s1O,0O0, which were later furnished of the bank.
 Shortage $36,OOO.
 Little new developed today regard ing the situation. The bank exami- ners continued their work and it may te several days before tho exact situation at the bank is known. One or the bank examiners announced this morning that the shortage would not exceed the $36,000.
 Crowds surrounded the bank this morning. Half hundred firemen were sworn in last night by Mayor Schumacher as special police and a cordon of officers surrounded the bank this morning. MT. Nelson offered last night to redeem all bank books at the face value, but many foreigners parted with the bank books for ninety cents on the dollar. Several men appeared on the streets with rolls of money and scores of books were redeemed at ninety and ninety-five cents on the dollar.
 Depositors Secure.
 The depositors are we'll secured The former treasurer was under bonds of $2O, ,0O0 and the bank surplus of $S0,000 will more than cover any shortage. The directors stated today that all the claims against the bank would be met The institution has taken advantage of the sixty days clause, but depositors had no difficulty this morning in getting their money. Nighted in Cell.
 Burton spent the night in a cell ac the jail and when he appeared in court today seemed physically wea k and suffering from the effects of the strain.
 He was arrested last night after he had confessed the dedication to State Bank Commissioner E. J. Stur- ges. The commissioner made an un- expected visit with his examiners to the bank, and admission of the em- beZzlement followed the discovery by the examiners of a shortage of $4,S0e in the treasurers accounts.
 MT. Sturges had an interview with Burton in his cell before the court session today. Afterwards he said there was nothing new to give out and he believed the shortage would not exceed the amount already stated.
 Extended Long Period. ' It is expecte'l that several weeks will be required to complete the ex- animation of the books. The embez- clement charged is said to have ex- tended over a period of fifteen years.
 Despite the crowds about the bank this morning, there was no disturb ance, in contrast with the riotous scenes of last night.
