BURGLAR scATTERS JEWELS
 CARELESSLY ON LAWNS
Indications Are That Breaks Were
 Perpetrated by an Amateur.

The New London police are work | ing on several important clues which 1 may lead to the running down of the daring burglar whose operations at | the residences of Vernon c. Brown and
 Robert Moore of 560 and TAI Pequot l avenue, netted him loot roughly esti- l mated at $2 900 to $2, 800 Tuesday ev- eninS. Patrolman Samuel Hick was sist Patrolman Timothy Sheehan of 1 the Pequot district in his 1nvestiga- | ton of the two breaks.
 information gathered by the police 1 in their investigation seems to point i to the breaks having been perpetrated by an amateur, or at least by a. man whose knowledge of the value of jew elry and gems was vague. In some re- spects the breaks appear to have been the act of an insane man.
 It is without doubt one of the strangest robberies that has ever come to the attention of the New London police officials. Some of the most val uable articles gathered up as loot by the perpetrator were found distributed | about the lawns of the two residences Wednesday afternoon.
 One of the most valuable articles stolen from the Brown residence was a ladies gold watch and chain set with diamonds, the property of Mrs. Brown. Thursday afternoon the watch was found on the lawn, where it had been thrown or dropped by the burglar On the opposite side of the house ser wants of the family found two vaIua- ble diamond stick pins and a hair pin with 9 pearl setting. Several other articles of minor value were found in
 the grass.
 At the Moore residence a silver
 packed brush belonging to Mrs. Moore
 was found on the lawn Wednesday.
 also several other small articles, the
 value of which was insignificant. A
 gold watch belonging to MT. Moore,
 and valued at $1.000, was overlooked
 by the robber. although it lay on a
 dresser in full view in one of the
 rooms which were ransacked
 Probably the most valuable article
 of loot obtained at the Moore resi-
 dence was $500 diamond brooch pin
 of Mrs. Moore. Cash to the amount of
 $25 was also carried off. It was con
 taIned in several poclletbooks found in
 different rooms of the house, The
 empty pocketbooks have been recov- cred.
 Contrary to the original belief of the police, the thief must have had the assistance of an accomplice in gain ing an entrance to the Moore house. That he also took his time Tn ran sacklng every room on the second floor is the opinion expressed by the fnves- tlgators, and probably remained in the house fully aR hour. There is some doubt in the minds of the police as to how he entered the house. although it is admitted that a ladder was used
 That the burglar was familiar with the surroundings at both residences is not t83Asd bp the police. It is also possible that in the event of an ar society burglar, who worked with the aid of an automobile and covered his tracks long before the police caught up with his trail

HAMBURG FAIR STIRRED
 BY FALSE ALARM,
Ticket Taker Thought He Had Been
 Robbed of $2o0.

The symphony of lowing herds at the Hamburg fair Wednesday was drowned in the uproar which ensued when J. R. Warren, taker of dinner tickets, jumped to the conclusion that he had been robbed of $200 received from the sale of the pasteboards. MT. Warren not only jumped to the con- clusion but he jumped for help simul- taneously. A general search for pick pockets followed. Then Mir. Warren recollected he had turned over the money to the treasurer of the fair and peace was restored.
 The attendance at the event was a trif1e smaller than a. year ago, the total reachink about 1,500. There were more automobiles than ever. it being estimated that fully 500 were on the grounds. The exhibits were I'D to the customary high standard.

record, John S. Burns deserves the
vote of all in the 18th district who

BURNS FOR MINIMUM WAGE
BLAMES POVERTY FOR CRIME
'As a member of the last two legis-
latures learned some things about
wages and vice and crime"
So says John S. Burns, representa-
tive 18th district and candidate for
the Democratic nomination. These
are some Of the things he learned:
Thieves, prostitutes, suicides
there is no doubt but what a certain
percentage of them are caused by
low wages. voted for the minimum
wage law to provide an $8-a-week
wage for women and girls in stores
and factories because sucn meas
Ure would bring the pay of many wO-
men and girls closer to a living wage.
"Of course, there would be girls
going wrong under minimum wage.
Nobody claims it would wipe out
stealing and white slavery.
'Pm sure of this, though-there's
more truth than bunk in the report
of the Illinois vice commission. When
a girl isn't getting enough money
from her wages to live on, you can't
tell what she's going to fall for if
temptation comes her way.

Book about girls in a State street

things and taking them home to eat
wouldn't be so common if we had
a minimum wage law and every en-

about Burns in the legislature:

members in advancing labor meas

fiscation of the Catholic Church prop
erty in Mexico. and it is a well known
fact that the Constitutionalist Party
Of which Carranza 10 tho head, has
issued a manifesto declaring that they
will drive all religious orders out Of
Mexico. Their manifesto declares that
Religion is Ignorance" and that:
1.-The organized Church is the enemy
Of the working classes ETC., etc.
Now. the fact that Wilson has recog-
uized Carranza is very pleasing to the
socialistic elements in both Mexico
and this country, and therefore the
most natural thing in the world is for
socialists who are also atheists, as
most of their leaders are, to give sup
port to Woodrow Wilson.

Farmers Will Pay the Bill.

On the farmers Of the country will
fall the heaviest burden II Congress
does not repeal Mr.. Wilson's railway
wage increase bill, is the contention Of
Henry n. Pope, president Of the Asso-
citation Of State Presidents Of the
Farmers Union. Mr.. Pope says that
the farmers Of the country stand for
fair wages and an eight-hour day, but
that when they find 1.-The highest paid
laborers in the world demanding a 25-
per cent increase and Congress hasten
ing to their relief. the farmers are
thoroughly dissatisfied"
Mr.. Pope declares that the increased
freight rates advocated by President
Wilson are certain to fall most heavily
on the farmers because they are COM
PEELED to ship practically all Of their
products, because Of their bulk, etc.
Mr.. Pope asserts that the railway en-
ployes SO benefited enjoy incomes far
in excess Of those enjoyed by farmers
and that "the average farm income is
only $1.47 day, out Of which must be
paid the expenses Of the family" Re-
ferring to the proposed increase of
freight rates, he says
This increase must, in the end, rest
upon the back Of the farmer and will
reduce his income. increase his hours
OF labor and call for another levy of
farm mothers from the home to the
field"

A Word to Newly Elected Officers.

Woro 20 Newly Elected Omeers.
Madison. Sept. ~. 1916.
Editor kennebec Journal.
We would like to pass on to a cer-
tain type of politicians in our own
State the scathing reproof once sent
by the sanity Doctor Theodore CuyIer
to Gov. Black Of New York: THE
American people are very tolerant OF
mistakes of judgment. but never for
give moral cowardice or treason to
the right"
Official protection Of lawless busi-
ness that ruins individuals. wrecks
the home, imperils life, multiplies
tragedies. defies the plea Of the in
nocent and helpless, and spreads
moral plaques more infectious and
ruinous than any physical calamity Of
which we've ever heard-the liquor
business. deserves summary reproof
at the hands Of an outraged public.
We pray that every newly elected
officer in our State may stand for the
people against every power that seeks
to exploit them for vicious gain.
Sincerely,
WIN. WOOD.
