HANGING AROUND GARAGE.
Suspicious Stranger, Fired at Three

Station.

IL Is now well establisbed that Wau-
regain has either. an exceedingly dan
gerous maniac or a criminal Of unliu-
tod nerve and daring, choice as to
which being Of no special advantage
when his work is considered. 1t may
NOT be strictly, accurate to state that
Wauregan has him.. but that village is
at least the site Of his operations.
Milligan's Wauregan garage, robbed
of more than $500 worth of tires and
other automobile accessories a few
days ago, seems to be the special OBJ
jective. Early Sunday evening -aboht
IS Eo'clock-the powerful electric head
lights of an automobile rolling along
the Central Village high
way, showed a man slSulking about the
garage, which is somewhat isolated
from other buildings and which was
closed at the time.
Going down with another man to in
vestigate, Arthur A MiIligan, the pro-
prietor, found the fellow in the vicinity
of the building and 1t was quickly
ascertained that he wanted no word
with them, as he endeavored to gel
away with as little fuss as possible
He refused to answer hail as to what
he wanted, and, getting around to the
rear of the building, made OFF through
the field, a shot fred after him failing
to bring him to halt
Three hours later he was again
found close up behind the garage and
again ran like a deer through the fields
when he found that he had been seen
Several shots fired after him failed
to stop the man.

AT LOWER INTEREST,
Floating Indebtedness of Town. Near
ly 100000, to Be FavorabIy Placed.

The special fianance committee APP
pointed at the annual town meeting in
October has reported to the select
men and town clerk and treasurer of
Killingly that arrangements have been
made for placing the entire floating
Indebtedness of the town, something
less than 100000. at an exceedingly
favorable rate of interest-slightly
over four per cent. Under the plan
proposed the loan to the town to take
up this floating debt would be secured
by short term notes. 1t was stated
Monday that one of the most influen-
tial bankers in New England has as
sured the finance committee through
one of its members that even should
the money market be tight at the end
of six months after the proposed loan
to the town is made, six months being
suggested as the time the talked Of
notes would be, in force, that a re-
newal of the loan will be guaranteed
under especially favorable conditions
for the town. Much Of the present
floating Indebtedness OF the town is
bearing interest at the rate of FIVE
per cent. per annilm. The new prop
osition has, Of course. nothing to do
with the bonded Indebtedness of the
town.
It seems very probable at this time
that certain incidental considerations
that at present appear likely to tenn
porarily delay the putting into effect
of the proposed arrangement will be
adjusted promptly, as no opposition
to the proposal has been heard.

or MILITARY
NEEDS OF THE COUNTRY
Secretary Garrison to Urges Report Of
Army General Staff.

Washington, Nov 15.-Immediate
publication of the report of the army
generals staff on the military needs
of the country, differing materially
from the administrators continental
army plan, will be urged upon Pres
ident Wilson by Secretary Garrison.
The secretary, who has described the
plan to be recommended to congress
as only a. step in the right direction,
said today he believed the public was
entitled to all available information
relating to the national defense.
The general staff has made an ex-
haustive study of the problem, Of de-
Tending the country and it's insular
possessions. Its report, it is--under-
stood. recommends increasing the reg
ular army to 250,0o0 men, permanent
ly with the colors and with reserves
of 100000 carefully trained men to fill
in this force. Behind this line it is
proposed to have a force of a million
giving the country an army of about
100000 fully equipped and easily mo-
bilized. No synopsis of the report has
been given out and details are not
available. The administration plan
was prepared by Secretary Garrison
after careful scrutiny of the staff re-
port. 1t was decided that the staff
proposals were of such a radical ma
ture that there virtually was no hope
of getting them through. Various un-
official estimates have placed the cost
involved at more than twice that of
the continental army scheme, which
would reach a total of half a billion
dollars in six years. The hrst-year's
expenditures under the staff plan, it
| is said, would approach $500, 600. 900
and the continuing expense be proper
tionately heavy.
The staff estimates, it is reported
that it takes at least year to make
a soldier fit to join the fighting line
The continental army programme con-
| templates only six months of hard
| training, distributed in two month pc
RODS through three years. 1t was
adopted to diminish the expense and
yet produce a force of citizen soldiers
NEARLY a million strong to support the
regular army which it is proposed to
increase to $4,000 from the 100000
now, in the service.

JAIL AND FINES.
Melted Out to Two Men For South
Meadow Street Row.

Peter Stokel and John Compenas,
who engaged in a week end, post-fu-
neral spree and row, were severely
dealt with when presented in the city
court Monday morning. They were
charged with intoxfcation and breach
of the peace. The men were partici-
pants in 8 row in the South Meadow
Street section and in the melee Com
penas was struck in the chin by a
glass thrown by some friendly member
of the party. receiving a cut that sat-
urated his shirt with blood.
Conpenas was given 80 days in Jail
for intoxication and 100 days for
breach of the peace and fined $50, in
addition to the costs of $500. Stokei
was given 80 days for intoxication,
so days for breach of the peace and
fined $25. The men could not pay and
went to jail.
Serious and frequent trouble in the
section where the men come from may
result in severe treatment to prevent
recurrence of it, but in any event the
two men who were sentenced Monday
had earned everything they got.

and the costuming and stage settings
are attractive. All the members of
the troupe are of the alive class and

There is a Canadian with the show
who is one of the surprises of the

Beaudry, who is small of stature, but
has bass voice that makes one won
der how such a great volume of vocal
music can come from such a little

of the big hits OF the show, and he
is almost entitled to be described as

are his tones and Of such range.
