TO TAKE TROOPS VOTE
Commissioners Will Leave Next Week To Receive Ballots of Connecticut Soldiers Still On Border.

Hartford, Oct: 7.-Colonel William o. Cheney of Manchester and Christo- pher l.. Avery of Groton, commission CTS, appointed by Gov. Ho1comb to take the vote of the Connecticut troops in the service of the United States government will not leave this state on Saturday to perform their duties as defined by the act passed at the special session of the general assem- bly, as they intended to do. They will leave here some day next week. In the original list of soldiers entitled to vote there were 3,079 names includ ing those of the troops at Nogales and at Tobyhanna, Pa. When the First Infantry was ordered home this num- Der was reduced to 1929 and now 1t has been further reduced to 400 by the return of the Second Infantry These 400 consists of 100 men and officer> of the First Connecticut Field com pany, Signal Troops, at Nogales and 300 in Battery F of Branford and Bat tery F of Stamford. It is understood that these batteries have been ordered from Pennsylvania to El Paso, Tex, which is about a twelve hours ride to Nogales The tickets have been all completed and there will be no delay in having them ready in time for the commissioners when the latter are prepared to start. The return of tho Second Infantry will not require a change to be made in the manner ot arranging the ballots in packages While the home town of the military organizations which remain at the frontier might suggest the confining of the ballots to three congressional dis tricts, representing, the first, fourth and fifth there is the possibility that in the organizations there may be r:en who vote in other districts and to meet that possibility ballots for the five districts in the state will be given the commissioners.

Baron Yoshiro Sakatani formerly mayor of Tokyo and chairman of the Japanese delegation to the allies conference in Paris, is now in Amer ica, having arrived in New York 8, few days ago. He says that the conclusions reached by the allies economic conferees will result in great benefit to both the allies and the people of the United States. Baron Sakatani is one of Japans foremost economists. In an interview in New York he said his countrymen desire nothing of the United States except the treatment accorded to other civilized people,. He called unjust and unfair the law which differentiates Japanese from the cit izens of other foreign countries.

GIRL ILLUSTRATES
 ROBBERY ATTEMPT
Crooks Unsuccessful in Quest oI
 Cigar Factory Payroll

New York, Oct "A woman fru7- trated the attempt of two armed men to get possession of $500 yesterday afternoon in the office of the Lincoln Brothers cigar factory, at 4b" Broome street. Both of the bandits escaped after holding up member of the firm and three girls. One ot the thieves fled in an auto, aided by two confederates, who held the car a block away in Spring street with the motor running while the attempt Ut robbery was in progress
 The cigar firm occupies the second, third, fourth and fifth floors in the building at the northeast corner of Broome and Greene streets, It's business offices are on the second floor and are reached by a stairway from Broome street and by an elevator on the Greene street side which con- meets with the shipping department in the rear of the long floor Miss Hannah Kaplan, the bookkeeper, and two girls were putting bank notes in envelopes for the payroll when they were startled by two men armed with revolvers who ordered them to hand over the money.
 The two thieves stood at the cash ier's window in the seven-foot heavy oak partition which surrounds the private offices of the firm and divides them from the entrance hall leading from the Broome street stairs. Edgar R. Lincoln who could not be seen by the robbers when they entered, stepped from behind his desk and sat himself between Miss Kaplan and the thieves, while the other two girls slipped from their desks to the f1ov- and crawled out of range of the re- volvers
 Girl Warns Proprietor.
 Then the bookkeeper fled to the in ner office of Lincoln A, Lincoln and warned him of the holdup. He ran from the rear exit of his office to the shipping department, where four men and three girls were at work, and with the shipping clerk, Irving Spang- Ter, hurried to the Greene street exit, looking for a policeman.
 A letter carrier from the Holland street office, who was passing, blew his police whistle for help. Edgar Lincoln said that when the first blast of the whistle was heard in the office one of the bandits threatened him with a revolver while the other gun man went toward the door in the par tition, himself. But when the whistle was heard again, the thieves turned and ran down the Broome street stairs.
 Lincoln A. Lincoln and the ship ping clerk and the carrier met them at the street door, but had to stand aside as the robbers threatened them with their pistols. Both thieves ran to Spring street, where one jumped in an auto with two men, who started the car westward. The other robber had disappeared when the pursue1.s got to the corner. The auto bore Pennsylvania license and number This, the police said, was probably fic- titious
 Before the attempted robbery a man who said he was a disabled vet eran of the Spanish-American war, entered the office and asked my broth CT for help" said Lincoln Lincoln The ex-soldier showed a typewrit- ten statement to my brother, which set forth that the holder of it was a 'mute,' as the result of injuries suf- fered in the war. My brother gave him ten cents This man was one of the gunmen"

A DEMOCRAT FOR HUGHES

To the Editor Of the EUontn1 Ledger
Sir--The following Is n clipping from your
lively editorial page, published Saturday:
President willard, of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. is for Hughes be-
cause he is a Republican. He thinks
that Is sufficient reason for opposing
the reelection OF Wilson, and 1t is.
The writer does not think your oonten-
ton Is q sound one when you say that Pres
ident Willard, of the Baltimore and Ohio,
is for Hughes because he (Mr. Willard) IL
a Republican. am Democrat. but am
going to vote for Hughes because in my
judgment, he is better fitted for the job In
this crisis than Wilson is, who has fallen
down on the Mexican situation, and his
aeross-the-sea policy. The only political
fly In the ointment" IL that must include
Fairbanks in my vote for Hughes After
Mr.. Hughes Is elected the country would do
we'll TO pray for his good health for four
years. Hide-bound partlsanshp Mr.. Ed
itor. is one of the evils that affict this
country seriously. ALI the signs OF the
times, however, show that men and meas
ures, and not party ties, are the only proper
guides for proper voting.

GENERAL CRowDER's DECISION

Sr-A Washington dispatch In today's
EVENING LEDGER says that President Will
son is much incensed over tho ruling of
General Crowder, Judge advocate general
Of the army, that the United States is ie-
gally In state of war with Mexico. The
dispatch adds that the generals ruling was
suppressed for days, because "it weakens
the plea that he (the President) kept us
out of war"
''The resentment of the Administration
over this decision is." says tho dispatch,
due particularly to the fact that Il has
reached the public" That's II exactly. Mr.
Wilson does not want the public told by the
highest legal authority on military matters
In the United States that we are at war
when he virtually admits that his only
claim 10 recollection is that we are at peace
j presume that General Crowder's 're-
tirement" is now in order. He tells the
truth, and the truth is precisely what the
Democrats do not want-at least until after
