BAKERS CREDITORS
 AFTER THEIR MONEY
Hope to Get Louis Neullolt to Go Into Bankruptcy So They Can
 Collect.

Creditors of Louis Neuholt, the East St. baker who suddenly left town after notice of lawsuit had been served on him by Constable Wrinkle, are now getting together in an en- deavor to force him into bankruptcy. They are afraid that by the time the claim of Charles Lex, who is suing to recover 1000, is settled there will be nothing left for the payment of their bills.
 It is said that the creditors are preparing to compile a joint list of the bills against Neuho1t and ask that he be declared bankrupt.
 It is also reported now that when Neuholt left the city it was with the intention of locating a fair damsel who had been previously in his employ and of whom he was very fond. It is said that Mrs. Neuholt objected to her husbands attentions to the girl and discharged her, whereupon the spouse went in search of her. <

WILSON IN PERFECT
 PHYSICAL CONDITION
President Benefited by Visit to Cor nish- Considers German and
 Mexican Situation

Cornish, N H., July S.-Presfdent Wilson spent this forenoon in the sseclusion of his study at lHarlake5- den house. considering the German and Mexican situations. A long des- patch from the state department re. viewing the food conditions in Mex ico and containing information con- cernring the political situation in the southern republic was gone over by the president.
 While MT. Wilson is postponing action on the Mexican question until his return to the capital, he is eN- pecting that something tending to clarify the situation may come out of the information brought to Wash ington by the various Villa leaders. It is known here that some of his closest admirers on Mexican affairs have urged that the Villa faction he allowed to name provisional pres ident who will be accorded recogni- ton by the United States.
 The president has gained weight since coming here, and today was in apparently perfect physical condl- tion.
 The visit to the Cornish Hills has also benefited the members of his family.

.NEUMANN & ALLNG
 FIRM IS DISSOLVED
MT. filling Has Too Much Outside Work, It Is
 Said.

Edward B. filling has severed his connections with E F. Neumann of the firm of Neumann & filling, metal rattern makers with office and fac tory at 3o3 Main street This state ment was Authorized by MT. Neumann himself, this afternoon.
 The announcement that MT. filling and MT. Neumann have dissolved their partnership will come as a.complete surprise to the business interests of New Britain as we'll as to the general public as it was not generally known that aKy changes were being con- templated. Mr. Neumann states that MT. Ailing's reasons for withdrawing from the firm are personal ones at lie realizes that with his added duties as chairman of the board of public safety and other outside business he is unable to devote his best time to the business of which he was d part owner. .
 MT. filling and MT. Neumann have been business partners since January 1. 1911, when MT. filling resigned his position as assistant foreman of pat tern-making department at Russell ss Erwin's to enter the partnership. The retiring member of the firm is a native of Hamden, Corn., and learned his trade at the J. B. Sergeant conn pany in New Haven but has lived in this city for about ten years. Mir Neumann has conducted his business on Main street for the past twenty four years, first starting as a metal pattern maker in 1891. With the ex- ception of about three months when be had another partner, Mir Neumann has always conducted the business himself until he took MT. filling into the company.
 As to what he will do in the future Mr.. Alling has no plans. He states that his arduous duties have soreiy taxed his strength and he has become run down in health so that he will take a rest to recuperate. What he will do eventually he does not know, but will wait and see what the future brings forth He does not intend, however, to resign as chairman of the safety commission, but will carry out his work in that department. de- voting as much time to it as is neces- sary. < The fact that he has had to devote so much of his time to the fire and police departments to the sacrifice of his business is said to be one of the chief reasons for his withdrawal
 MT. Neumann states that his plans are to continue his business alone.

SEVENTEEN LOSE LIVES
 IN TROLLEY WRECK
Fifty Others Injured in Sun. day School Excursion Ac-
 cident at Queens.on.

gs E 4s&es E Niagara Falls, Ont, July S--Seven- teen persons were killed and fifty in jured, some probably fatally as the result of the trolley wreck on the slope of Queenston Heights <. last night. Racing to catch a steamer for Toronto, a special car of the In- Fternational Railway loaded with 121 passengers left the rails on sharp curve and plunged into a gully fif- teen feet below. The car struck a tree as it toppled and was nearly cut in two. Of the dead nine are in the Toronto morgue and eight are in morgues here.
 All were residents of Toronto.
 The dead are:
 Charles J. Jennings, H. J. Partridge organist and choir master at Wood x Green Methodist church, Mrs J. M Hart, Mrs. Henry Sloan, Mrs. Alex ander Wesney, Albert Little, Mrs.. M { Crombie, Frederick Page, manager Westminster Publishing company, F. w. Drank, advertising manager, Westminster Publishing company Robert Watson, Raymond Young, or ganist St. Johns Presbyterian church Rita Wiggins, Rosa Wheater, F. G. Grant, Samuel Vogue, Margaret Tom lins, Dorothy Keats.
 Twenty of the more seriously in jured are in hospitals here.
 The Ontario Provincial authorities already have taken steps to fix re- sponsibility for the wreck. The cor oner's jury examined witnesses at Queenston and officers took state ments from the injured i'll the hospi- tais here.
 Vice President Dickson of the In ternational company stated today that he believed the slippery condition of the rails caused the motorman to lose control of his car.
 Motorman John Boyt, who was in charge of the wrecked car, said in, statement today that the car go. beyond his control just before it reached the curve. When he left tho Brooks Monument Station there wer. tree more cars behind his, the four being intended to convey the Toronto excursionists from there to the boat : landing at Queenstown. All were open cars.
 Rain began to fall and there was a rush for Boyt's car. Conductor Caswell tried to prevent overlooking and signalled Boyt to go ahead while the people were still trying to get on board. There were about ninety in the car when it got under way Boyt stopped once at the switch where the cars turn off the main line to the boat landing spur. .t
 Approaching what is known as the lower curve, Boyt applied the brakes. They appeared to work properly, he said, but did not check the speed of the car sufficiently to allow it to take the curve at low speed
 Alongside the track directly in the path or the car as it left the rails, was large maple tree with low hanging branches. When the car hit 1t all the uprights supporting the roof were smashed and the upper and lower parts of the car were piled in tangled mass of splinters ana twisted iron at the foot of the fifteen foot decline.
