Amos E. Enc Always Tried to
 Keep Expenses Down

New York, May 23.-When Amos F. Enc was giving dinner party, according to his family physician, Dr. Albert H. Wylie, he would turn to the guest on his right and ask. Do you wish wine ' Before an answer could be returned he would himself say "No," and repeat his question to the next guest, and again answer it himself.
 In this way, Dr. wyI1e testified be- fore Surrogate Cohalan and a jury, the man who left more than $15,- OOO,OOO when he died sought to keep down his expenses.
 An obsession that he was fated to die poor held Enc, the physician said. The millionaire often expressed belief that he would end his days in a poorhouse. When Dr. Wylie sug- gested that he purchase an automo- bile or carriage, so that he could get out into the air, Emo replied that he was "too poor" For years Dr. Wylie tried in vain, he said, to get the millionaire to install a tele- phone in his expensive home, No 32 Fifth evenue
 A carriage costs too much and is a nu1sance," the witness quoted Emo as saying when urged to hire or pur- chase vehicle at Saratoga in the last summer of his life.
 Eno's opinion of women suffrage leaders was that they were immoral, the witness said, and he freuuently referred to them in this way when guests were visiting him. He ex- pressed qualification, Dr. WyHe said, that the women and children on the torpedoed Lusitania were drowned. l Its all right, and even if tie Ger mans did do it they can pay for it," the witness quoted Emo as saving.

RUTH LAW ASCEKDS
 10 RECORD HEIGHT
Daring Girl Aviator BreathS Ozone
 at Altitude of 11,OOO Feet

New York, May 23-Miss Ruth Law yesterday broke all American records for women aviatOrs by reaching H. GOO feet in a Curtiss biplane at the military and naval tournament now in progress at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway.
 Flying in contest with three avi- ators all of whom were in the air simultaneously, Miss Laws altitude was exceeded only by Victor Carl strom, who, carrying a passenger in his big double-engined tractor reach ed height of 14,5O0 feet, remaining aloft one hour and ten minutes.
 Just before the flying exhibition the National Guardsmen did their best to fire off the ammunition which through the activities of the Sum- day Observance association, they had not been permitted to expend the day before. Although it was not possible to conduct operations on as large a scale as when the 10,000 guardsmen were mobilized on Sunday, the pro- visional detachment of all arms, re- inforced by some 400 fresh arrivals, endeavored by their rapidity of fire in an extended engagement to make up for any lack of numbers.
 Cavalry, artillery and infantry all were engaged in the opposing skir- mish lines thrown across the huge arena inclosed by the speedway.
 Shortly after o'clock interest switched from the field of battle to the aviation headquarters, Carstrom won the first prize of $500 for the greatest height. Second prize of $250 went to Miss Law. Steve McGordon took up two passengers in his big l60 horsepower biplane.

SeleCtman Gibney Gets Trail Of Thief and Finds Owner
BRICK STRIKE ONLY RUM0R
Manager of Central Connecticut Brick Company Runs False Reports to Earth-PIans for Memorial Day East Berlin Girl to Be Married.

, Selectman w. H. Gibney got on the trail of a horse thief this morning, when he was notified by John A. Hart, proprietor of the Kilby House. that he was stabling a big black mare which appeared to be owner less. MT. Hart informed the select man that last Friday afternoon a stranger, whom he describes as short, dark complexioned and of heavy build, drove into the yard at the Kilby house and requested the pro- prietor to take care of his outfit until Saturday morning. MT. Hart suspecting nothing, compiled with the request, but this morning when no owner had appeared, after waiting three days, decided to inform Select man Gibney.
 MT. Gibney made some preliminary inquiries and then called the Hartford police in consultation. In a short time he received the information that the horse belonged to Meyer Lavine of Wallingford. The latter bought five horses in Springfield last Friday and placed them in charge of the stranger with orders to deliver at his stable in Wallingford. The man left Springfield ostensibly for Wallingford. He had the black mare hitched to a Concord buggy and the other four horses in tow.
 Arriving in Newington, however the hostler decided that horses were needed for agricultural work and an opportunity offering he sold the four to some farmers. The mare, as told, was brought to Kensington and put in the stable at the Kilby House. Selectman Gibney, once on the trail, was not long locating the real owner Who promised to come to Berlin this afternoon and claim his lost steed.

THREE CONVENTIONS
 IN LONE STAR STATE
Democrats, Republicans and Pro- gressiVes Holding Meetings Today

Dallas, Tex, May 23.-DemOcratic, Republican and Progressive parties of Texas were holding their state con- ventions simultaneously today, each having, in addition to the routine of selecting delegates to their respective national conventions, other projects of more or less importance to them selves.
 Interest was centered in the Demo- cratic convention being held in San Antonio. Polling 25O,000 or more than twO-thirds of the states votes, this party is dominating. The Democrats will elect at the San An tonic convention:
 A national committeeman.
 Thirty-two district delegates to the national convention.
 Eight dclegates-at- at-large.
 Four presidential electors also will be. nominated then, their names to be placed on the Democratic primary ballot on July 22. Numerous oues- tions of state interest particularly dis cussion of Texas new election laws, also were scheduled to como before the convention.
 The Progressive party held It's con- n
New Britain herald., 1916-05-23

nominate four presidential electors elect twenty-four delegates to the na- tional convention, based on one for each of the sixteen congressional dis tricts; and two for each United States senator and representatives at-large.
 Republicans were holding their con- vention in Fort Worth, with prac- tically the same business before them as the Progressives. They are to nominate four electors, and elect twenty-six delegates to the national convention, having two more than tho Progressives.
 Attempts to effect fusion between the Progressives and Republicans, which have prevailed for the past two years, were brought to an end by the death early in April of Cecil A. Lyon, Progressive national committeeman from Texas. Several "get-tOgether meetings between Republican and | Progressive leaders were held at vari- ous times but when the movement was reaching a climax, Mir Lyons illness halted proceedings
 Today's Democratic convention is the first of two; the second being held in August to officially canvass the returns of the July primaries. Nom | ination in these elections, has. GUS tOmarily, meant virtual election, on account of lack of opposition to the Democratic party.
 It was generally predicted in po- Htical circles that the Texas delegation to the St. Louis convention would go instructed for the re-nomination of woodrow Wilson. As yet there has been no public announcement as to who will be favored for the presiden- tial nomination by either the Pro- gressive or Republican parties in Texas
 Texas delegations will not be bound by the unit rule.
