TO BUILD NEW BLOCK
 ON COMMERCIAL ST.
James Naughton Will Erect Three Story Structure On Site of
 Old Brady Block.

New Britain's business district will shortly be augmented by the con- struction of large three story brick block, to be erected for James Naugh. ton on the site of the old Brady build ing on Commercial street.
 The Brady building has long been a familiar landmark in this city and it's ramshackle structure has also long been an eye sore to those who favor a city beautiful. The prop erty is now owned by MT. Naughton and he sold the building to M. P. Leghorn. Work was begun today in raging the old structure, MT. Leghorn to use the timbers.
 Mr. Naughton has had plans drawn for the construction of a modern three story block on it's site. The build ing will be of brick, the front to be of white faced brick. On the ground floor will be thre stores. Naughton's bakery shop will be located on the second floor and the top floor will be devoted to store room space. MT. Naughton will not move his bakery store from Maine street where it is at present located, but will rent all the stores in his new block.
 The structure being razed is fa- miliar to all of the old citizens. Many years ago, John Sloan, deceased, member of the police force, used to conduct a saddlery and trapping fac tory on the top floor. It has long since fallen into disuse and has been used solely for storage purposes for several years past.

 Present.
 Bridgeport, Sept. 2.-Although no warrant has been issued, according to a statement made by States Attorney Homer S. Cummings of Fairfield county, for Clitus H. King, of Fair field, member of the 1915 legisla- ture, on the complaint of Town Clerk Flint of Fairfield, that there had been fraudulence in the issuing of certain m Ortgages, which had been presented for recording, an inquiry is being con- ducted here into Kings affairs. Two members of the state police were here but each said they had not been as- signed to the task of locating King.
 Money in Cuba.
 It is not known as yet the condition of Kings personal affairs. It is stated that he has been interested for some years in a concession of land in either Central America or Cuba on which there was timber and the opportunity of raising sugar cane. It is under stood that King had put what money he had into this enterprise in the hope of early and adequate returns. He was also interested in the San Bias company which has concessions in Cuba, and which company was formed about six years ago.. John P. Gray, Kings law partner, has been treasurer of the company. The president, Ernest Gibbons, said today that King had interested a number of people in the company's prospects and that stock had been sold, much of it in small lots to people who were looking for an investment and who had not much money but were willing to take a chance. This money, com ing in in a few hundred dollar lots was deposited by King in the Con necticut National bank, on which King alone had checking account. Mr. Gibbons says that the company has no money to meet the claims of persons who have been looking for King to make the stock good,
 Where Is King?
 Business associates and the mem bers of the family have not heard from King. The exact condition of his private affairs is nor known. While there are many reports of
 alleged financial misdeeds the anly definite ones thus far are those brought to light by Town Clerk Flint of Fairfield and regarding which he made a complaint to States Cummings.
 Reports Loss of $5,OOO.
 Mrs. Jane Davis today reported that she had apparently lost $5,OOO on and loan dealings with King, and her son claimed to have lost $1,0O0 invested in the San Bias Mrs: Davis says she has a mortgage deed assigned by Louis Hulit and wife to her for $7OO on which the signature of Joseph I. Flint, is repudiated by MT. Flint, town clerk of Fairfield. Dr. w. H. Downs of Fairfield claims that he has lost $7O0 on a transaction somewhat sim liar in which King figured.
 The total amount of irregularities which are said to have been uncovered together with reported losses on notes given by King is now placed at $37,O00.

.,Smashup on New Haven Road in
 1911 Attributed to Them
HELD FOR SUPERIOR COURT
State Policeman Brings Men to Court Four Men Arrested Immediately After Smash Were Allowed to gO- Suspects Have Different Names.

Bridgeport, Sept. 2.-Four men were placed under arrest by State Policeman Frank Verrelli today on the charge of having removed fish -,plates on the rails of the Valley division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, which act it is alleged brought about the wreck of a passenger train on August 27, 1911, at Maromas, resulting in the death of one passenger and injury to about sixty others.
 The men gave the names of Se- bastiano Lacana, Nunzio Buchamo, Piola Carburo and Antonio Venelle. All are between thirty and thirty-five years of age. The men were taken to the county court house today, ex- cept Carburo, for a rigid questioning and later it was stated that in all probability the men will be arraigned at the September term of the Fairfield county superior court, bench warrants to be asked in their cases.
 Result of Long Inquiry. 7, The arrests are the result of a long inquiry by the state police. The fact that fish plates were removed from the rails at Maromas was evident after the wreck. Four men were ar
 
 given hearing before Judge w. U. Pearne and later freed as the evidence was not conclusive. The names of 7 the men arraigned at that time do not correspond with the names of the men arrested today.
 Taken at Brothers Home.
 Lacana was arrested at the home of brother in Ansonia yesterday. He had gone there to see the brother and as soon as he was in the house state officers took him.

city January %, was not lured into
Mexico and slain, but that he alb

received to secure loans, is the belief
Of r. E. Jauman, in whose office John
son had rented space. Inquiries in
San Diego, where Johnson had de-
clared he was well known, disclosed
the fact that his representations TO
Jauman were untrue.
Immediately after JohnSon's disap-
pearance Jauman instigated an inten-
sive search at Calexico and MeXicali.
but officers who participated in the
hunt were unable to discover any
clews that would solve the mysterious
disappearance.
In conversation with Jauman a
short time after his arrival here, John
son asserted that his wife and daugh-
ter resided in San Diego and that his
daughter was pupil at Bay City
high school. Yesterday, in answer
to an inquiry. Jauman received a re-
ply from educational officials at San
Diego which stated that they We're un-
able to find any trace of Miss john
son. daughter of J. H. Johnson, and
further search by friends of Jauman
substantiated the report.
Search is being made now in Port
land. where Johnson asserted he had
been connected with various business
firms, but up to a late hour today no
report had been received.
According to Jauman. number Of
persons are alleged to have been

able to carry out their building con-

American German war is no longer re-

L. s. CAN FORCE
PASSAGE OF FOOD
TO THE GERMANS

Ii is the German view that it is
absolutely within the power of the
United States to force Great Britain
to permit foodstuffs to go into Ger
many for her civil population under
proper guarantees that none of it will
find its way into the commissary of
the German army.
If the United States were TO say to
Great Britain, either you will permit
us to send foodstuffs to the people of
Germany or we will refuse to send
arms and ammunition to you.' Great
Britain, in the German viewpoint.
would have to yield. For it is the
German belief that without arms and
ammunition from the United States
Great Britain and her allies would not
be able to carry on the war for any
length of time.
In view of the position which our
government took with respect to the
policy of starvation which the Spanish
government undertook to enforce
against the rehellious people of Cuba.

SHEEP DECLINE IN OREGON.

An announcement just made by
the Forest Service, covering the graz
ing business on the National Forests
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1915, shows a decrease of over 100,-
900 in the number of sheep grazed on
the Forests of Oregon, and an in
crease of approximately "A, 900 in the
number grazed in the Forests of
Washington.
For several years past the grazing
business on the Forests of Oregon
has been in excess of that in Wash
ington, but the influx of settlers in
those parts of Oregon where good
forage was to be found has made it
difficult for the big stock owners to
find sufficient winter range for their
sheep. This fact, combined with the
recent high prices of wool and NUT
ton, has led many sheepmen to sell
out. In Washington there has not
only been an increase in settlement,
but also an increase in available Ma
tional Forest range, which has in
duced many to go into the sheep
business. Hence, the Oregon sheep
men found the Washington ranchers
ready to buy their sheep.
There has been an increase in the
cattle business in both states--over
10000 increase in Oregon and nearly
800 head in Washington. Many of
these new cattle men were formerly
sheep owners grazing stock on the
National Forest.-National Wool

Fall Calves Best For Early Beef
(By R. E. Reynolds)

Nby II. II. Rey nOldS)
Walter NJ. Pierce, Union County
farmer and stock-raiser member of
of Board of Regents of the Oregon
Agricultural College, has started the
practice of raising fall calves instead
of spring calves with very good sue
cess. His plan of handling these
calves is to have them dropped along
about November. The cows are placed
in covered sheds and fed all the alfal-
ia hay that they will consume until
the following spring, During this
time the calf is so small that it will
not eat grass if there is any, and it
also has the advantage of being kept
indoors during the winter time.
About the first of April, the COW
with her young calf is turned out on
the mountain ranges. Here, due to
the green grass, the milk flow of the
COW is very much increased. The calf
now being few months old will be
able to handle this increase without
difficulty. The calf runs on the range
until about the first of July when il
Is taken to the valley and weaned
and turned on new mown meadows or
alfalfa or clover pastures.
In this manner the calf avoids the
shortage of pasture during the drier
months of the summer. Also the calf
is weaned at time when the COW will
dry up much more quickly when put
back into the mountains on the dry
feed. From the alfalfa pasture or the
meadows the calves are turned into
the stubble fields and allowed to run
there until late in the fall when they
are put into lots and fed all the al.
falfa hay they will eat Most of them
are then sold at from II to Ii
months Of age.
This method Of handling calves
Mr.. Pierce thinks, has many advan.
tages. First, the calf comes during
the time of the year when the COW
will not give an oversupply of milk
due to not having green grass, but on
good alfalfa hay will give an abun.
dance for all present needs. Then
when the cow Is turned on the green
pasture in the spring time the milk
flow is increased but the calf is large
enough at this time to handle it all
to very good advantage. Another
thing. Weaning the calves coming
along about the first of July, the dry
pasture is avoided when the calves
really do make as good gains as at
other times Of the year. It is also
possible to market the cattle at an
earlier age, due to good feed and
care.
AS Mr. Pierce says, 1.-THE Fall calf
never stops growing, but can be got
ten to the butcher a good deal more
quickly and cheaply than can the
spring calf" A fine bunch of these
calves was to be seen at Mr.. Pierce s
