ATTACKING OIL SHIPS

Washington, Oct, 14.-British agents
are investigating operations of certain
yachts which they suspect have been
outfitted Tor use against ships carry
ing oil from Mexico to the British
navy. Information has been gathered
from Norfolk, Pensacola and from the
Gulf af California.
Recent reports to British sources
of the attack on British tanker
bound from TuXpam, in the Mexican
oil fields, strengthen the belief OF
the agents that the attacking ship
was manned by Germans and carried
one gun. The agents also have re-
ported that they have information
that a small ship manned by Germans
and outiitted with such a variety of
supplies as would be used by a war
ship left Pensacola, Fla, Oct. 4.

US. WON'T ACT ON FATAL PLEA
 SEEKING PEACE
Will Await Notice From Warning Powers That Ac-
 tion Will Be Welcomed.

Washington, Sept. 3-The United States will make no further efforts to bring about peace in Europe until it has received information that it's good offices will be welcomed by both sides in the conflict. This was stated au- thoritatively here today in official dis cussions of the messages from Pope Benedict, delivered to President Will son yesterday by Cardinal Gibbons.
 From the fact that the Vatican is in close touch with Austria; the con stPuction placed by the officials on the Pope's message is that the Germanic powers would be willing to discuss peace at this time.
 President Wilson has made it clear several times that his offer of his ser vices to bring about peace still stands and that he will do everything pos sibIe to further the movement. The United States, however, will do noth- ing likely to endanger it's position as a friend to all be1liegerents, it was said 
 The Pope's message will not be made public by this government, al- though there would be no objection if Cardinal Gibbons gives it out.

CUBERNATORIAL
 BOOM FOR HEALY
 SHADES WILSON
Bridgeport Mayors Chances Killed-BurneS Tells of
 Healy's Strength.

Lieut. Gov. Clifford B. Wilson, who. as mayor of Bridgeport, promptly spoiled his own gubernatorfal boom by his recent action here in arresting labor leaders, won't have the support of Fairfield county even if he should persist in his ambition to capture the G. O. P. nomination for governor in 1916.
 That Fairfield county isn't entirely carried away with the iboomlet for Wilson is one of the aftermaths of the legislative reunion at the Mo mauguin, this week. The authority for the expression of divided senti- ment is Secretary of State Charles D. Burnes.
 MT. Burnes comes from Stamford.
 He was elected last year and was one of the candidates on the same ticket with Wilson. Here's the way he expressed himself at the Momau- guin, the other day. speaking to a number of friends:
 The Healy sentiment is quite strong in the southern part of Fair field county
 MT. Burnes had reference to Speak CT Frank B. Hea1y, whose candidacy has been given a big impetus in up- state sections.

and surrendered after being fired upon by the police.
 The men were brought here and placed in the custody of James. This morning when he took them to their breakfast they set upon him, took his revolver and locked him in a. cell
 Leaving the building, t1ep risoners were noticed by two street car em- ployed who entered the jail and re- leased James. The chief refused to wait for medical attendance and ob- taining a pair Of automatic revolvers hoped into an automobile and started in pursuit. He overlook the men on the road a half mile from the jail and called upon them to surrender Harmon's reply was two shots from the chiefs gun. Then James began shooting and his third bullet went through Harmon's head.
 As his companion fell dead, wil- Hams made a dash through the brush where he was found hiding a few minutes later. An added charge of as sault with intent to kill was made against him.

Co. Policeman Guilty sought the
 Emergency for a smashed finger and knee bandaged. He was struck with a stone. Policeman Dwyer \and Ser geant Wheeler were struck on the
 hands with sticks. Dwyer said he was also hit with a hydrant coupling. Po- liceman Kelly was treated at the Emergency for q emashed finger and Policeman Kane received treatment ] for a bruise under his right eye.
 The center of the disturbance ap- peared to be abott sergeant. Wheeler. A watchnan at the Crane plant said a striker Jumped on Wheeler's back and that the watchman rescued him.
 All the time, Wheeler was trying to catch Moskowski, whose head he had split open. He escaped in the crowd. however. Steve ShurensIzi was caught.
 The battle was over in a few min. utes. Thes trilxers couldn't stand up against the policemens clubs. Mora help came, but by this time the strik- CTS had been scattered throughout the lots and side streets.
 While the battle was at it's height somebody pulled a revolver and fired four shots. Sergeant Wheeler and the policemen said they don't know who fired and the prisoners say it must have been a policeman.
 When the crowd dispersed, sight of Tony was sought and several po- licemen jumped into an automobile and chased him. They found him in a saloon at Park and Railroad ave- nUes. He attempted to escape by hiding in a closet but he was hauled out and arrested.
 Steve and Tony were taken to police headquarters. Their case was called in the city court at $40 o'clock. At 9:55 o'clock they were back in the prsoner's pen, fined each $1 and costs and sentenced to one year in jail.
 Sergeant Wheeler was first called to the stand. He said the strikers were pulling men off wheels and he latter got "fresh,'' he said, and then he ordered a charge.
 On the stand Tony said he was merely trying to influence. employees to join the strike. The simple charge of breach of the peace was entered against the pair first, but Policeman Mendelson said he heard Tony say ''We'I kill all the cops if it takes 10 years.' Judge Wilder ordered an additional charge of assault.
 Steve was given a short hearing. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney John P. Gray then addressed the judge.
 Your honor,'' he said, This is the most serious thing that has hap pened at this stage of the game. I recommend the absolute maximum penalty
 Judge Wilder merely said 'eYes" and he fined each $1 and costs and sentenced them for six months for breach of the peace and six months more for assault. An appeal was al- lowed under bonds of $1, 1,OOO but the men didn't take advantage of it.
 Moskowski suffered during the hearing from the blow he had receiv- ed. It was more than four inches in length and very deep. He tied a red handkerchief about it, and it was not until about II o'clock that he was taken to the Emergency hospital
 None of the other strikers appear ed at the hospital for treatment, al- though many received lusty clOuts on their heads.

GRAY MUST
 MAKE GOOD KING FRAUD
His Law Partner Signed Re ceipt For $7OO Which Has Vanished = Money Was Payment on Farm Land Purchase. Mrs. King, Left in Financial Straits, Opens Pretty Fairfield Home as Board ing House - Son Quits School.

Although John P. Gray, assistant prosecuting attorney of the Bridgeport city court, has admitted that he has signed without knowing their contents
 many papers, for his absconding law partner, Clitus H. King, the first spec fife case in which Gray is involved, financially, through his partner s shortcomings, came to light today.
 The signature of Gray, as well as that of King, appears on a receipt for $7o0 which was given as part pay ment by John Chihal of Newark and Steve Kurma of this city, for a farm owned by c. F. Brinsnade of Trum- bull. Both were clients of Gray. The money was turned over, Gray says, to Trunbu1l, to try to straighten out the affair. Brinsmade is a, grain and feed merchant of Trumbu1l.
 Mrs. c. H. King. left in financial straits through her husbands sudden disappearance, is preparing to turn the King homestead in Fairfield into a boarding house. The IT years old son of the lawyer is preparing to go to work in Bridgeport, having aban- doned plans for college career.
 He admits receiving the money and signing the receipt with his partner. Chiha1 and Kurma- are now in pos session of the property. It is 7beHev ed King passed them a forged deed to the place. Attorney Gray in tell ing of the transaction. said today that Chzha1 and kurma were his clients and they came looking for a farm. King knew that Brinsmade, the Trunbul1 flour and feed merchant, had some property to sell and he took an option on the property for which he paid MT. Brinsmade $50. This is all the cash MT. Brinsmade receiv- ed
 If the deal went through MT. Brins- made was to receive $7O0 by Aug 31st. Attorney Gray claims that Chi bal and Kurrna paid over the money a few days before MT. King disappear ed. The partners signed the re- ceipt and then Attorney King took charge of the money and proposed money to E. W. S. Pickett, former postmaster of Fairfield, to close the deal with MT. Brinsmade, he said. as MT. Pickett was more familiar with. real estate transactions than either of the lawyers. Attorney Gray claims he consented to this arrangement and his partner took the money, saying he would give it to Mr. Brinsmade.
 Attorney Gray, Orvil1e Burton town clerk of Trunbul1, MT. Brinsmade and Nessrs. Chiha1 and Kurma were in the conference this afternoon but Chihal and Kurma insisted they had paid for the land and they would hold. Attor- ney Gray is civiI1y responsible for the money for which he receipted.
