.DR. RADCLIFFE CANDIDATE
 FOR DR. CROWLEY's JOB
Has Filed Application for Appointment As Milk
 Inspector.

One of the biggest political sur- prises of the year is the announce ment that Dr. B. D. Radcliffe, the veterinarian of 10S Franklin Square, is a candidate for the office of meat, food and milk inspector, now filled by Dr. George T. Crowley whose office is at the rear of 55 Pearl street. pr. Radcliff has filed an application for the position with the board of health.
 The contest for the office promises to be a warm affair and 1t is probable that it will be decided at the meet Ing of the board next Tuesday night.
 pr. Crowley has been inspector since October, 1904, and he said to- day that he would consider it a ..raw deaH' if he is deposed. II have. worked like a slave for the city and I know of no reason why should be kicked out, :" he said. T have neglected my business and have given my best efforts to New Britain It is not ras if the office came up each year. Under the new character amendment I am app ointed and hold office until my successor is appointed and qualif1es. In order to put any, ono in my place it will be necessary to put me out. There is no vacancy existing in the office and think it would be pretty rough treatment if am deposed. I was greatly surprised when I learned last night that there was another candidate for the office '
 New Britain pays it's inspector $1,000 per year. When Dr. Crowley first took office the salary was s200. It went from that to $500, then to $500 and up to $500. Two years ago it was increased to $1,000.
 Dr. Radcliffe graduated from the Chicago Veterinary college in 1903 and has been practicing in this city since 1909.

VIGOROUS DEFENSE
 MADE BY SWOBODA
Denies Charge of Espionage Pre- fcrred Against Him By French
 Military Authorities.

Paris, May 5, 5:30 a. m.-A vigor- 0ous defense against the charge of espionage preferred against him was made by Raymond "Swoboda'' when he was examined yesterday by Major Julien of the Paris court-martial, says the Petit Journal. In an effort to prove his assertion that he really had important business deals on hand he gave the name of a person who loaned him 2,500 francs, knowing that he was about to realize handsome profits
 Referring to the charges of espion- age, "Swoboda" declared the remarks he made before the war began did not show be was aware of Germany's mili- ,tary plans He asserted that any one who read German newspapers and pamphlets will have gained the con- viction that Europe was on the verge Of hostilities.
 The prisoner insisted his name was Sw oboda, but admitted that he oc- casionally had been known as Schwind

CITY GOVERNMENT EASY
 WITH ICE MAN RHOADES
His First Payment of $500 Is Thirty-Five Days Over
 Due.

Although it is not generally known, it is fact that Edgar Rhoades, who purchased the municipal ice supply at Shuttle Meadow lake has yet to pay a red penny for his stock and does not intend to do so until between the 7th and 10th of this month despite the fact that his first payment of $500 is overdue by thirty-five days.
 According to the contract Rhoades was to buy the supply for S2,700 and was to pay the city monthly, the first payment to be made on April and other payments of $500 each on the first day of each succeeding month. This has not been done. The payment which was due on April I is still to be received and the May pay ment is still far in the distance
 Mayor Quigley was asked today if he, knew whether any payments had been made. He replied: "No I don't, I suppose the treasurer would know about that. If the payments have not been made and the contract not lived up to I suppose it would be up to the corporation counsel to act.''
 Rhoades was spoken to over the telephone by a reporter. He admitted that he had made no payment for the ice. He was asked whether he knew that the contract required him to pay $500 on April and the same amount monthly thereafter until the complete purchase price had been paid. He replied that he didn't understand the contract read that way and if it did there must be mistake some place. Rhoades said he had talked it over with them" and his proposition to make payment between the first and tenth of this month had been ac- ceptable. He would not say whom he meant by them
 The contract between the city and Rhoades is in the possession of the water commissioners. A bond of $1,000 filed by Rhoades not to break the contract is also in the water com missioners' safe.

WARDEN DON'T WANT
 TO EXECUTE KRAKAS
Because of Religious Scruples, So Someone Else Will Have to
 Spring Death Trap. N
(Special to the Herald ] !

Especial to the Herald.)
 Wilmington, Del May 5.--There is some doubt here as to who will be the man selected to spring the death trap on May 1 4 when Peter Krakas is hanged for the murder of Policeman F. x. Tierney Warden Crawford, Of the Newcastle county workhouse who generally does this. is seriously Ill and will be unable to attend the execu- ton. Deputy Warden Wingatc, who takes Warden crawford's place has cxressed himself as utterly opposed to committing the act that will send tie murderer to his death.
 Warden AVingate has moral and re- ligious scruples about springing the trap and even though he realizes that 1t is according to tho recognized law of the universe and in the discharge Of his duty, he declares that he does not want any mans blood on his head
 Because of this situation it is prob able that the trustees of tie prison will select some man whose identity will not be gwen out to sprng tho trap which will jerk Krakas to eter- nifty in expiation of his terrible crime. As it is possible to spring the trap without being seen it may be that the mans identity will never be known.
 Although he has but eight more days to live on this terrestrial sphere, Krakas still maintains his stolid in- difference. He asks no fayors of anyone and offers no excuses. He gets his daily exercises walking through the corridors of the prison under heavy guard and 1t Is said that he spends considerable of his time in reading the Bible.
 He will be hanged in the prison yard ard under the laws of this stare the execution will have to be witt nesy.d by twelve official witnesses.

NORTHSTREETW0NANCE GETS r . NF
 LETTfRFR0h~ h~BLACk HAND"
Rose Wollert Is Frightened,
 But Police Think It Is ,... Only a Joke.

Terror has been driven deep into the heart of Mrs. Rose Wollert, who works in the factory and lives alone in the basement of Mo- 75 North street, by the receipt of Black Hand threat. The missive has been placed in the hands of the police and although they think the affair joke and the work of some boys who wish to annoy the woman, she is much frightened. Nothing in the shape of money is demanded, but there is yelled threat which Mrs Wollert seems to find most terrifying.
 The letter was posted in this city at 10 a. m. on May 1. It is written on cheap paper and the writing is a disguised scrawl. The letter was provided with two two cent stamps to insure it's delivery. The ink used is of blue black hue and around the edge of the paper crude black hand has been printed. The text Of the Black Hand letter is as fol.ows:@,. .;Isose' Wollerty 1- '- ~ Beware your hust and is not dead yet or is not Married. Some day He Will stand in Front of you. We Win meet you in Your little rent some night. Beware. Care of
 BLACK HAND.''
 At the bottom of the page was a big ink blot beside which was printed ..our trade mark"
 Mrs. Wollert informs the police that she has a husband but he is at pre- sent in Italy where he is interned in the war zone, unable to reurn to this country. She does not know of any particular enemies she has who would wish to do her harm.
 From the chara cter of the note the police scoff at her fears and de- clare it to be the work of misehievious boys who may wish to frighten her by telling her that her husband ia coming back after her. It is not known whether or not her relations with her better half are strained.

 An unknown person walked into a cafe on Elm street last night and in- quired of the bartender wh ether Horn- kohrs bread was used there to make sandwiches. The reply was in the af- firm ative and the unknown ordered it taken out as Hornkohl was conduct ing non-union bakery.

NEW WITNESSES IN
 MRS. CARAVANS TRIAL
Mrs. Mary I. Black and Walter Coz zcns, Clerk at Freeport Police
 Station Called to Testify.

Mineola, N. Y, May 5.-Distrct At torney smith lost no time today in placing on the stand the states new witnesses in the second trial of Mrs. Florence c. Carman on the charge of staying Mrs. Louise Bailey at Dr. Carman's office in F'reeport, June 30. last.
 Mrs. May I. Black, the 1rst of these witnesses, testified that while sitting On her porch, just east of the Carman home, she heard the sound of an ex- plosion and falling glass. She walked, soon afterwards, with her daughter, Ruth, out on her lawn ana stood opposite the window of Dr. Carrnan's office. She saw man-one she could not identify, outside the house at the window. She did not sec any one run from the grounds. The man went leisurely to the front of the house, and out of her view.
 It was shortly before & o'clock and daylight when this happened, Mrs. Black said. The admission of this evidence was fought by Mrs. Carman's lawyers, who contend that the shoot ing occurred after nightfall and that the assailant escaped in the dark. Walter Cozzens, clerk of the Freeport police station, testified that 1t was Q u clock when Dr. Carman called him on the telephone and notified him of the shooting.
 District Attorney Smith expected to present his entire case today.

 British Flsb'Eg Fleet. NO LIVES LOST IN ENCOUNTERS
Huge Lump of Black Bread Given to Each Member of Crews of m-fatcd Vessels by Sailors of Kaiscr's Sub- mersible. aa

London, May 5, 1:2S p. m.-N:ne trawlers is the bag credited to German submarines on Monday of this week in a message received here today from Hull. In addition to the Iolanthe, the Hero and the Northward Ho, the vic- tims belonging in Hull include the Hector, the Progress, the Coquette, and the Bob White, while the Rugby and the Uxbridge, owned in Grimsby, met similar fate.
 So far as is known no lives weI c lost in these encounters. According to the crews of the fishing vessels the subm rine which wrought this dam- age is of the newest type. She has an iron cross painted on her coming tower. She ran amuck among the fishing fleet on Monday and sank sev- en trawlers in quick succession. The crews were given time to escape, but in some cases the small boats drifted for hours before they were picked up. Each man coming ashore is exhibiting a hugh lump of black bread, given him by the crew of the submarine which sent his boat down. The Eng fish sailors are preserving the bread as souvenirs.
 Crews Land at Hull
 Hull, England, May 5, II a. m.-- Three more British trawlers have been added to the list of those blown up by. German submarines in the North sea Monday, and it is feared others also were lost, as they were shelled and fired upon with rifles by the crewNof a submersible. The crews of the trawlers Iolanthe, Hero, and Nortl1ward Ho have landed here re- porting the destruction of their boats. No lives were lost aboard any of the three
 A Copenhagen despatch states that while three trawlers were fishing in the North sea a German submarine ppeared and ordered them to stop. The crews took to their boats and rowed away after which the trawlers were blown up by boarding parties from the submarine. After rowing about eight hours the fishermen sum noned aid by burning articles of clothing which had been attached to oars. h#,ea ..-
 Hero Attempted Escape.
 The trawler Hero attempted, to es-. cape, but after an exciting chase which lasted an hour the submarine got into close range and opened fu- sillade with rifles, whereupon tho skipper of the fishermen stopped and the crew took to the small boats.
