boy TELLS GREEK
HOW He TRIED TO.
|sH00T THE FORMER

Bull" Hancock, colored, 16 years
OF age, facing Satare Alexander,
keeper of store at the corner of
Gonzalez street and Ninth avenue,
Saturday afternoon, coolly informed
Alexander that IT was de one whut
shot de pistol, Gaze l thought he was
goin' to hut me. He come at me
with his hands in his pockets, and
den it wuz when / shot"
That admission was made in the
presence of Chief Frank Sanders,
Special Officer Frank S. Bobe and
several others. And it explained the
shooting which occurred Thursday
night at the corner where the store
of Alexander is located. Three negro
boys walked into the store and one
of them asked for cigarette. When
the proprietor refused them, they
walked out in the dark and fired sew
eral shots at him.
Hancock, with two other negroes
named Centennial McCaskill and
Clemmy Brown, were arrested, and
are held at the station as dangerous
and suspicious characters, and soon
after they had been jailed three others
were taken in custody. They were
Frank Taylor, James and Clarence
Brown.
When the boys did start talking,
in their accusation of one another,
developments came thick and fast.
One of the developments was that the
boys had practically owned up to
breaking into the Forbes, Quigley &
Morgan store, stealing therefrom two
pistols, several dirks and a quantity
of cartridges. One of these pistols
had been used to shoot at Alexander,
they told the chief, and after that in
cident, they said, the pistols were
"chunked in the bayou"
Then one. alleged burglary after an
other was owned up to. A few nights
since they confessed to robbing the
store of Jim Harges, corner of Greg
DRY and DeVilliers streets, large
amount af groceries having been
taken, and cash amounting to S1.15
They also owned up, it was said, to
breaking into Mendel's store, corner
of Eighth avenue and Wright street;
also to the Forbes, Quigley & Nor
gan store.
In running down clue after clue
the police collected almost couple of
sacks filled with groceries, canned
goods, meat, etc.
When officers went to their cells
to question them yesterday afternoon
they found them "skinning" for
matches, the turnkey reported. That
was explained to be kind of gam
bling.

Doug" Fairbanks and Fay Tincher,
Isis Today.
Douglas Fairbanks has two leading
women in his newest Triangle-Fin
Arts play, "The Halfbreed," showing
at the Isis today, with Fay Tincher
in "The French Milliner." Being of
widely contrasting types of feminine
beauty, they offer a pleasant variety
of entertainment, both to the here in
the picture and the patrons who view
the latest Fairbanks play.
One of these is Jewel Carmen, for
some time a player in Triangle pro-
auctions and best remembered per-
haps for her performance of the siren
role in "The Children in the House"
and very different Characterization
which followed, when she appeared
as the "ingenue" in Sunshine Dad"
In the Fairbanks play she is the fir
tatious and heartless young girl from
the east, who encourages the atten-
tons of the half-Indian youth, only
to toss him aside when she finds that
it is to her interest to do so.
The other girl is Alma Reubens.
previously seen in a Fairbanks COM
edy-drama, Reggie Mixes In," as
Reggie's society fance. She is of the
Spanish type, dark and f1ery, and in
"The Halfbreed" appears as a girl
who has gone wrong and becomes the
companion of a travelling Snowman.
Finding in the young halfbreed a man
who is really man, in spite of his
lack of education or culture, she be-
comes devoted to him and is regen-
Grated by her love, which ultimately
finds its reward.
The play is characterization of Bret
Harte's famous story of California
pioneer days, I'm the Carquinez
Woods" and its scenes are laid in the
primeval forest of that name. The
action includes a forest fire, as well
as several thrilling combats in which
all manner of weapons figure, from
plain fists to shooting irons.

PRESS COMMENTS
ON REMARKS OF
JUDGE SHEPPARD

Judge William B. Sheppard's COM
ment on New York life has been the
subject for many articles in the New
York press, of which the following
from the Evening Telegram is good
example. The present account was
accompanied by cartoon illustrating
the results were the Judges unique
statement placed in operation:
Does ten years residence in New
York endanger ones morals-weaken
resistance to temptation? Are ASSOC
Citations a la New York so evil as to
corrupt good manners? The ehorused
answer of the fortunate millions in
this, the best and biggest city in the
world is an indignant negative.
But a stranger in our midst has so
declared. And distinguished strang-
er he is, from the sunny chimes of
Florida, none other than Judge w.
B. Sheppard, of the United States
court. He was sent to the big city
by Uncle Sam to help out in dispos;ng
of the big calendar in the local fed
eraI courts.
Famous for Common Sense.
Throughout the south Judge Shep-
pard is famous for his common sense,
his legal ability, his impotence of
laws delays and his obiter dicta.
When the average person makes a
witty remark he is called original.
When a Judge on the bench says
something beside the subject in his
decision it is called obiter dictum.
That is Judge Sheppard's forte, his
speciality.
Once upon time Judge Sheppard
thought New York was the next best
place to Pensacola, Fla, whence he
comes. He was wont to tell his cro-
MES in the Palmetto Club about its
glories. its Broadway and its Fifth
avenue. But no more.
eff lived in New York ten years"
he said today, speaking from the
bench (obiter dictum), II would al
most be tempted to beat Uncle Sam
myself"
Sentencing Smugglers.
He made that statement in sentenc-
ing two smugglers. Father Knicker-
booker gasped from the blow, and as
he struggled to get once more to his
feet and expostulate Judge Sheppard
landed on him with this two listed
verbal slam:
"This is not a place to breed good
morals.p The two smugglers accom-
panied "Pa" Kniekerbocker to the
canvas.
| Hints at Taxicab "Hold- Ups"
A taxicab driver and hotel man
in the court room giggled. 1t is not
officially stated that Judge Sheppard
| heard them, but he did say that "the
way man is held up for taxicab fares
and hotel charges in this city he can
hardly be blamed for putting one
over once in while"
When Mr.. Hoffman, secretary to
Judge Sheppard, was asked if the dis
tinguished and pleasant faced jurisi
had been a victim of the skipper OF
New York sea going hack he smiled
The two smugglers got thirteen
months. If. they had lived in New
York longer than ten years. what
would have happened to them?
Judge Sheppard is the only one who
can answer.

TO MAINTAIN BORDER GUARD
Activity of Villistas Leads Authorities
 to Believe Patrol and Pcrshing'S Expedition Must Remain on Duty.

Washington, Oct. 26.-Villistas' activity near Chihuahua had the eff feet today of convincing officials here that no thought should be given soon' to removal of guardsmen from bor- der patrol duty or withdrawal of Gen. cra1 Pershing's column from Mexico. Fear was felt that if Villa should suc- ceed in his apparent movement to capture Chihuahua he might find it easy to get control later of nearly all northern Mexico. The entire Mexi- can situation was regarded as more serious than for many months.
 Conditions at Chihuahua were the subject of greatly conflicting reports.
 Mexican Am mbassador Arredondo re- ceived from Consul Garcia at Ell Paso a denial of General Tevina, Carranza commander at Chihuahua, that he was short of ammunition or intended to evacuate the city. Carranza losses in the fight with Villistas at Santa Ysabel he'd been slight. he said. and 5000 troops had arrived to reinforce | the garrison. War department re- l ports however, were that Villa was sncamped five miles from Chihuahua | with a considerable force, after hav l ing defeated Carranza troops severely,
 and that Trevino was ready to aban- don the city

Organization Calls Special Meet
 ing for Tomorrow Evening
SITUATION IS CRITICAL
Money Must Be Raised If Institution Is to Continue Caring for Deserv- ing Poor-Dollar Fund Campaign Realizes Only $332.

Iomorrow evening at 8 o'clock there will be a special meeting of the directors, woman's advisory board ana contributors to the New Britain Charity organization in the Chamber of Commerce rooms This meeting is of utmost importance to the well wishes Of t/e organization and a full attendance is requested as the affairs are to be gone over very carefully.
 It has now been a little over a week since the Dollar Fund campaign was started and so far only about $332 has been collected. The greater part of this fund has come into the organization through appeals that have been sent out from time to time but as yet no one has contributed any great sum. Many people fail to re- allze the scope of this organization and the vast amount of work that 1t is doing among the deserving poor of the community. Affairs are in what might be termed a critical condition as the organization was $500 in debt the the time of the annual meeting two weeks ago. today.
 Needs a Nest Egg
 At a meeting of the Woman'S Ad- vlsory committee last week it was de- clded to revise the mailing list in or der that the best results might be obtained. But even that is not enough, for the organization needs at least a comfortable sum that it could use as a nest egg if the time ever came to falling back on a re- serve fund. In a town of this size there is unlimited possibilities for an organization of this kind to do any amount of good work, but if hamper ed by the lack of funds there is all ways the tendency to be meager and this is always considered poor policy by those in charge.
 As a special inducement in the way of stirring up interest and giving the local people some ideas on how to raise money for the organization, E. Kerner of Waterbury will speak at the meeting. MT Kerner is the head of the Associated Charities in Water bury, being we'll equipped with knowledge along the line of money raising for affairs of this kind. He is a very able speaker. having had charge of other campaigns.
 Many people have never answered an appeal because they have been called upon only through the tag days and other events of this kind Now is the time folks of this sort should take heed put their shoulder to the wheel and help out, if it is only small amount.

SECOND REGIMENT IS HOME FROM BORDER New Haven Gives Her SOl- dier Boys Warm Wel-
 come.

New Haven, Oct 26.-The Second Connecticut infantry came home from the Mexican border today The well come given it here was a right royal one. Fire bells rang, church bells in all parts of the city filled the air with sound, and factory whistles added to the din. With a warning of the com- ing of the troop trains given one hour in advance, thousands of persons hurried down town, and to the rail- road yards to greet the soldiers.
 The first battalion to detrain was that under Major Isbell of this city, and included the Waterbury compa- nies. The second and third battalion companies followed at short intervals and about 10 o'clock the regiment with more than HOO men marched to the armOry in Meadow street, un- der escort of the First Separate com- pany (colored), the Second Company Governors Foot Guards and Troop A cavalry, which Is ready to be mus tered out of federal service.
 A band played the liveliest of airs, spectators who lined the sidewalks cheered constantly and most of them waved small flags or bannerets bear ing words of welcome, while greetings were vocally showered on all. Here and there a mother, a sister or g. sweetheart rushed out to hug a son, a brother or a loved one, and the march was filled with lively and even tear bringing incidents.
 The men of the regiment all looked in the best of health. Their equip ment was in splendid shape and the appearance of the regiment was one that brought out words of admiration and praise. Lieutenant Col. John Q. Tilson brought the regiment home as Col. McCabe had resigned. Most of the officers early made inquiry as to the result of the elections, the ballots in which were to have been counted by the adjutant general yesterday. The announcement it was understood had been postponed until today.
 The regiment will stay at the ar mory for the time being except that the out of town companies are to be taken during the day to their respect i've stations. The city's formal re- ception will be given on Saturday here.

PARIS ANTICIPATES FALL OF FORT VAUX
French Following Up Sur prise Attack Against
 German Line.

Paris, Oct 26, 5:45 a. m.-The French troops at Verdun are follow ing up as fast they can the advantage gained by their sudden forward sweep on Tuesday and, according to the lat est information, have closed in to within less than five hundred yards of VauX fort. Announcement Of the capture is momentarily expected here, thus completely restoring the French line held on February 25.
 The German forces at Verdun are reacting so slowly and with such ap- parent lack of strength that, in the opinion of French military men, they no longer possess a general reserve, but are obliged to withdraw men from one section of the front to reinforce another section in case of need.
 Reports of the casualties which are now ill hand show the French losses were very light indeed, considerably less than the number of prisoners taken and a large portion of them was of cases in which the men were slightly wounded. Considerable mater ial was captured. The Germans had massed guns of all calibres in the Ravine of Death, all of which fell into the hands of the French.
 The three lieutenant generals who, under the command of Gen. Mangln, led the attacking divisions were all lieutenant colonels at the outbreak Of the war and had been singled out by Gen. Joffre for promotion on account of their technical ability, energy and initiative,

Says Situation FavOrs Central Powers.

Berlin, Oct. 26, by Wireless to Say ville-"The capture of Tchernavoda by Field Marshal Von Mackensen's army has definitely turned the mili- tary situation in Dobrudja in our fAvor," writes the military critic of the Overseas News Agency.
 "The right wing of the combined Bulgarian, German and Turkish force marched on after the taking of COnstanza, and in a powerful push advenced 20 kilometres (about 12 miles) beyond that place. From that moment the capture of Medjidie was Cnly a question of a few hours, as the town was threatened on the flank. The Russo-Rumanian position thus being rolled up from the east, the western point of support on the rahube. the town of Rosova, also had to be given up.
 with this situation brought about, the attacking Tcutonic allies stood be- fore the strong Danube bridgehead of Tchernavoda, which then had to serve as a cover for the hasty retreat of the defeated Russians and Rumanians. Today the railroad line from Con- sfanza to Tchcrnavoda is completely in the hands of the victorious allies, constituting, with the valuable ma tcraI in locomotives and railroad cars taken with it, a first class base for strategic operations. All this ma terial was abandoned by the fleeing Russians and Rumanians.
 "The defeated army was separated into two parts. Those who did not remain on the battlefield or were taken prisoner saved themselves by flight across the TcherravOda bridge over the Danube or to the northWard in pObruGia
