SUMMONS KAISER TO
 MEET HIM BEFORE GOD
Father of London Air Raid Victim Plays Emperor
 at Inquest.

London, Oct. IS, 1:06 p. m.-An inquest of the bodies of the three victims of the first bomb dropped in the Zeppelin raid last Wednesday night on the London aera and of tkree others who were killed or who died as the result of subsequent air bombs, all within the same area, was held today The verdict in each case was death as the result of an air raid"
 The father of one of the victims stood up in court and protested against the laconic verdict reached. He cried; My son was murdered by the order of the Kaiser. I summon the Kaiser to meet me before the judgment seat of God to answer for the death of my son and of those other poor people"
 Of those killed by the first bomb was a railroad employe, both of whose thighs were broken. His wife, who was by his side, escaped unhurt. The second was a man who was killed by broken glass which cut through his neck. The third victim was a woman. the lower part of whose spine was completely smashed.
 The other dead were the victims of g. bomb in the middle of a wide thoroughfare. The missile pierced a gas main causing a fire which lasted several hours before the gas could be cut off. A driver, a conductor and special constable were killed in a motor bus upon which the bomb plunged.
 Incendiary and explosive bombs were dropped in the same spot. These pierced a water main, and the rush of water quickly cxtinguished fire caused by the incendiary bombs, but several people passing at the time were either killed or injured.
 A number of the victims over whose bodies the inquest was held today died from shock or in the hospital as a result of their injuries.

TWENTY-FIVE ADULTS
 HAVE BEEN CONVERTED
Fruitful Results from Fort nights Mission at St.
 Mary's Church.

AS one result of the two weeks church for the past fortnight by Jesuit priests. twenty-five adults will be received into the Catholic church at exercises this evening. It is be- lieved that the number of conversions in this time established a new record in New Britain.
 During the week, the Jesuit priests conducted services especially for those who wished to learn the truths about the Catholic church as taught by her ministers. These services have been liberally attended, some going out of curiosity, some for purpose of seeking knowledge about the church who were inspired by a sincere de- sire to become communicants of the Catholic church. AS can be seen by the figures the efforts of the priests were not wasted.
 The mission as a whole was con- sidered a grand success by the visit ing clergymen Over 10000 people received communion during the past week, many of these, of course, being repetitions. The oratorical powers of the Jesuits has never been surpassed in the history of the parish and peo- pie came for miles around to hear them.
 Rt Rev. John J. Milan, bishop of the Hartford diocese, will be at St. Marys this evening to administer the sacrament of confirmation on eighty candidates. During the mission forty received first communion.

''MOONSHINE" WHISkEY
 CONSPIRACY CASE
Begin Trial in Arkansas of More Than Twenty In-
 dicted Men.

Fort Smith, Ark, Oct 1S.-Trials of
 a number of defendants in the so-
 called "Moonshine" whiskey con- spiracy case in which more than twenty men, residents of various
 states, have been indicted. were set | for today in the United States dis trict court here. It was expected up- wards of a dozen men would appear for trial. Some of the men indicted
 have not yet been arrested, a few are fugitives from justice, and others suc- cessfully have resisted extradition to the Arkansas district from their na- tive states.
 Of seven officers in the government revenue service, who are among the l defendants, two of them, Knox Booth
 cf Nashville, Tenn, and James Sur Der of Atlanta, Ga., will not be tried until the January term of the court, their trials having been postponed. Thomas c. Mccoy of Asheville, N. C., former revenue agent upon his ar rest instituted proceedings to restrain his extradition to Arkansas and the court upheld his contention.
 Nearly all the men arrested have been released under bond. John l.. Casper of Kansas City, an officer of a distrilling company and known as the head of the alleged "moonshine" organization, gave bond in the sum of $35,OOO. Guy l.. Hartman of Kansas City, former business partner of Cas- per, forfeited a bond of $20,00O by failure to appear for his preliminary trial James c. Brewbaker also of Kansas City and formerly connected with the distilling company is under indictment but has not been arrested.
 The alleged conspirators are said Ly government officials to have de- frauded the government of millions of dollars. Specifically it is charged that the men illegally operated dis | tiilery in Fort Smith and instead of sending the product to a government
 warehouse, shipped it to Kansas City.
 There, it is charged, the containers of the whiskey were fraudulently stamped with old revenue stamps,
 thus allowing the distillers to evade
 the payment of tax.
