four men, afterward referred to as torches" were taken as they were unloading four barrels of gasoline at the plant of the Christian Bellows Manufacturing company
 The arrest of these four men was due to the fact \lat the head of the to have his own factory fired-a plot which he told the police had been proposed to him by an insurance man and which he pretended to enter into in order to assist the police in the detection of the guilty.
 Evidences of Conspiracy. After Baker had made statement to the police, it was announced at detective headquarters that Baker ] had revealed, not the existence of ] larson trust" but that several groups l of men, working on similar lines, had ! conspired with heads of business ! firms to set property on fire that the ! firms might collect excessive insur- l ance. An insurance agent always was in these plots, according to the ! story, and he was to reap his profit i by getting commissions on the excess insurance written before the fire.
 The grand jury began an inquiry into the arson conspiracy on Septem- Der 16, and returned final indictments on October 1.

AN XMAS APPEAE.
Postmaster Delaney Wishes to Re-
 mind Public About Clerks and Carriers

With the beginning of the Christ mas rush at the post office but few weeks away, Postmaster William F. Delaney has commenced to make plans which will be for the aid of the public, also beneficial to the clerks arb carriers, who usually work very strenuously at that season of the year. One of the favors which the postmaster would ask of the pub lie is that with reminders of early shopping they should not forget early mailing.
 Parcel post and other mail matter may be sent in ahead of time with markers, DO Not Open Until Christi mas," and in this manner it it ex- pected that it will be productive of getting the results which the post master is after. In past years 1t has been the custom to have one delivery on Christmas day, but this may be discontinued this year, although nothing definite has been decided on in the matter
 It is probable that the successor to the late c. w. Bradley as rural car- rier will be named within few days.

WIYL HAVE NONE
 OF PRIESTS SLAYER
Sing Sing COnvicts Debar Man Serv- ing Life Sentence From Well
 fare League.

New York, Nov. 12.-Enrique De Lara of San Domingo, who, when seventeen was sent to Sing Sing Prison for life seven years ago for the murder of Rev. Father Arturo Asencio, has been suspended from the Welfare League and locked up on a charge of attempting to break jail.
 De Lara who is well educated and the son of one of the wealthiest mer- chants of San Domingo, has long been a prison trusty and was a promi- nent figure among those rated as the good prisoners in Sing Sing. De Lara is reported to have such 1iber- ties as trusty that he conceived the idea that it would be easy to slip away from the prison, save as his prison uniform might betray him.
 To obviate this difficulty, it is said that he contrived to get possession of two suits of civilian clothing of expensive material and had hidden them in a sand pile in the prison yard when they were accidentally discov- cred and traced to him.
 De Lara, now twenty-four-years old, shot Father Asencio in Central Park, Sept. IA, 1908. He was arrested week later. He confessed the mur- der, and although admitting also that he had robbed the priest, tried to eXtenuate his crime by saying he killed the priest in resentment against the clergyman's attempt to corrupt him.

SPRINGS INFECT on JOHN.
Elevator Man In so-ereignsss Block
Leaves Cage. I

Leaves Cage Il
John Reynolds, the elevator man
employed In the Sovereign Trading
eompany's block for the last two or
three years, has hardened to the call
OF spring and taken @ vacation. His
employers have been puzzled by his
sudden dtsappea rance, but his friends
say that he simply was dissatisfied
with his work, 1t is said he is now
living in New Haven.
Until last fall. Johns heaviest work
was that OF giving the Kenilworth club
members lift to the top floor. bu,
when the Chamter OF Commerce es-
tablished headquarters on the third
floor, the work got heavier. The ring
ing of the elevator bell had an un-
pleasant way Of disturbing his other
duties OF furnace man and tanitor,
until John began shaking his fist at
the elevator. Why should II always
be necessary for the cage to plunge
up and down whene there was per-
fectly good stairs to climb? Why, in-
deed.
His animosity toward the inam.ate
and unsynpathettc cage grew until
he could bear 1t no longer and then
he planned his revenge. Last Saturday
night he drew his pay and that same
night he and his wife moved out of
the block with all their furniture.
Sunday the cage was found securely
paG1ocked and the key gone. The
paddock remained on all Day Monday,
club members and others climbed the
stairs. On Tuesday the city's wheels
be industry started moving againsafter
the hoiiday and the cage began
plunging again at the touch Of an
ether man. But John has had re-
yenge on tho elevator and probably
will never return.
