ATTORNEY AND CONSTABLE
 SUED BY SPRINGFIELD CO
Alleged Negligence in Not Returning Writ Against American Board Com pany of Hop River.

Real estate belonging to Attorney s. B. Harvey has been attached and he and Constable c. E. Macfarlane have been made defendants in $500 suit, brought against them by the French Coal company of Springfield, Mass. In the complaint the Massa- chusetts company alleges that in May, 1915, it turned over t6 Attorney liar vey a promissory note signed by the American Board Company of Hop River for $25O and made payable to the French Coal company, with in- structions to bring suit immediately If the note was not paid upon demand.
 The complaint further alleges that on May 22, Attorney Harvey made such a demand, but that payment was not forthcoming, and he brought suit as instructed, the writ being return able on the first Tuesday in Septem- Der, 1915. He also gave the writ and complaint to Constable MacfarIane, who garnisheed and attached property of the Hop River concern. Then be- cause of the negligent acts of Attor- ney Harvey and Constable Macfarlane the writ was not return and the plain tiff lost its attachment and was pre- vented from collecting on the note. On the 18th of November, 1915, the Amer jean Board company was duly adiudi- eated a bankrupt.
 The case has been made returnable before the superior court the first Tuesday in June, 1916.

 Miss Kate Macadams, employed at | the Hotel Hooker, was a passenger on | the trolley at the time of the acci- dent and the first she knew of the affair was when the crash came. Edward Gilman said that he had | just driven by short distance when ] he heard the crash and some one called to him and he turned around ! and went back. He said that he had l avoided the bad place in the road by turning on to the trolley tracks and

 Found Pieces of Flesh on Trolley Car
 Roy Downer, reporter, was the | last witness. He told of examining the trolley car as it stood in the cal barn shortly after the accident and o1 finding a piece of flesh imbedded be- l tween two of the match boards tha were broken in on the left side anC just to the rear of the vestibule. Thi. side of the car had been smashed III considerably as a result of the col lision and the piece of flash he de scribed as being about an inch and half long and had been driven in be tween two of the broken boards. Thi evidence would seem to disprove tn idea that Rockwell met his death b! being thrown against the front ent of the automobile but that he receivet the full force of the oncoming trolle, as the impact of the glancing collis ion with the front end swung the req end around.

Two foxes were jumped and were kept
afoot a half hour. when they went 70

The crowd had some excellent jump
ing and galloping and put in a good
day behind the hounds.
In the afternoon a drag hunt met
at East Norwich. with J. {. Cooley the
master Of hounds. Scent was found
on the Mortimer /. Schif place and
went straight across 70 the south end
Of the county ard checked on the Nor

were given a few minutes 10 blow.
After the short rest hounds again found
on the Van SiSe farm and ran straight

BRITAIN BLOCKED
PEACE PROPOSAL
Chicago Daily News"
Says Sabin'S Story Was
True When He Told 1t

Chicago, Nov. 4.-"The Daily News"
to-day prints the following;
The inside story of the situation
which led up to the famous peace in
terview given out a month ago by
Charles II. Sabin, president Of the
Guaranty Trust Company of New
York, came out to-day for the first
time in connection with Mr.. Sabin's
visit to Chicago.
" Mr.. Sabin had received informa-
tion from an unimpeachable source that
a message was on the way to President
Wilson from the German government
asking him to use his good Offices to
bring about an early peace said "The
Daily News's" informant. Certain
neutral diplomats had actually pre-
pared TO start for America as the bear
e.s OF the German governments pro-
posals. Mr.. Sabin never intimated in
eny way that Ambassador Gerard was
the bearer of the Kaiser's message.
The coincidence of Mr.. Gerard being
on his way to the United States at
the time led to the deduction printed
in some of the newspapers that Mr.
Gerard was bringing the message to
which Mr.. Sabin referred.
However, at about the same time
that Mr. Sabn received this news from
Germany, the alert intelligence depart
ment Of the British government had
learned the same facts. Great Britain
lost no time in nipping the German
peace movement IN the bud. It will be
remembered that Lloyd George imme-
diately came out with an emphatic
statement in an interview, saying that
Great Britain would resent any at
tempt on the part of any neutral gov
eminent TO institute a peace movement
at that time. A few days later Premier
Asquith made statement in the House
of Commons that this war cannot be
allowed TO end in some patched up,
precarious and dishonoring compromise
masquerading under the name of
peace
"'These emphatic statements caused
the German government to abandon it's
efforts at arriving at peace through
the good Offices Of the United States.
The Lloyd George and Asquith state
ments were so evidently intended to
head off the movement which was being
initiated that it seemed useless 70 20
forward with it. The result was that
Mr. Sabin was placed in the unfortu-
nate positit Of having given out a
warning on a most important subject
for which the occasion was suddenly
removed
