 TOOK HIS SAVINGS. North Stonington Man Had Property in Two Local Banks and Two New Lon- don Banks.

On Thursday the superior court in session at. New London took up the case of Nelson H. Brown against Her bert F. Brown for the recovery of sav- ings bank accounts aggregating about $7,OO0 which the defendant is accused of having had transferred to his name.
 Nelson H. Brown is the father of Herbert F. Brown and has been living for some time with his son in North Stonington. During a recent illness of the father it is said the son had all the older mans property transferred to him. The property at the time was in four savings banks, Norwich Savings society, Chelsea Savings bank, Savings Bank of New London and the Mariners Savings bank of New London.
 Representatives from the four banks were put on the stand and showed the records and bank books whereby the son had secured the transfer of his fathers savings.
 The older MT. Brown was called to the stand and he testified that he had interest from all four banks due him and had signed blanks for his son to collect this interest. He claimed the son had used the blanks to secure the complete transfer of the property from the name of Nelson H. Brown to Her. bert F. Brown. The witness was on the stand for about one hours cross examination.

ponent of Indian art, claims that In- dia is the only country which today has a living art
 The three principal races. of India have each had an honorable part in its development, and the pictures will show examples of these three chron- ological periods. In the first period of Buddhist ascendency belong the stone pillars of Asoka and the won- derful rock-hewn temples. The sec- ond period is that of the Hindu revi- val when some of the best work was done. Third comes the period of Mohammedan Art. during the Mo- gull ascendency. This quite different style includes the Tai Mabal, exquisite palaces, mosques and tombs mead Del hi and Agra. The greatest period was from the 9th to the 10th centuries. In Java there is a great Buddhist temple whose sculptures are said to rival those at Athens and which Is some- times called the Pathenon of Asia, This work was done by Indian artists and will be included. There was al- so a remarkable school of painting in very early times and pictures of some fine canvasses of the Mogul period.

FIRE HORSES UPSET
 BRUNELLE'S BAKERY WAGON
Became UnmanageabIe and Dashed Through Main Street-Stopped by a Telegraph Pole.

Becoming unmanag geable while enter ing Main street from Cliff street on Thursday morning, the three horses used on the aerial truck dashed along Main street, upsetting the bakery wagon owned and driven by Louis H. Brunelle in front of the Mohican store.
 Driver Herbert Short had had the horses out about an hour on an eXer- else run and it was while going down the steep grade on Cliff street that the trouble commenced. The exercise wag- on, which carried about 1000 feet of hose, and was very light, compared to the aerial truck, slowed on the ice in the street and first one horse began to kick up and then another. The driver started the horses up to straighten out the wagon and as he entered Main street from Cliff street he encountered a trolley car eastward bound. The wagon struck the frog in the car track in front of the Mohican store and bounced it into the bakery wagon. MT. Brunelle was assisted from his wagon. The wagon was struck With such force that the left rear wheel was demolish- ed, the right forward aXel was badly bent, the connecting rod holding the shafts together was broken out and there was some glass in the wagon broken. The horse was thrown down.
 Dashing across the street to a point in front of Madden's cigar store, the horses struck a delivery wagon owned by Chester E. Wright. Here the horses were stopped. MT. Short got down from his seat and was looking about when the horses started up again. He was unable to hold the lines and when he let go the horses ran through Main street. When in front of the Boston store the coupe of Fred M. Packer was encountered and someone trying to stop the running horses steered them on to the sidewalk so that they were caught by the telegraph pole standing in front of the Boston store Two horses were on the sidewalk while the third horse was on the outside of the pole,
 The poles Ont the exercise wagon of the fire department were broken, the damage amounting to approximately S25

OF WAR
 SUPPLIES AT VLADIVOSTOK
Pier Facilities Unable to Aecommo- date Ships, and Ice in Harbor Adds to Confusion.

Vladivostok, Feb. 24.--Congestion of the war supplies at Vladivostok con- tinues to grow worse At present there are 2S steamers in the harbor or waiting in the bay to enter the har- bor. Pier facilities are lacking to ac- commodate, these steamers The ther- mometer registers 20 degrees below zero, and the extreme temperature and ice are adding to the confusion. The cranes on the pieres are not heavy enough to lift locomotives and other heavy weights, and consequently light CTS must be utilized for this purpose. As there are only sufficient lighters to unload four steamers, the handling of locomotives is greatly delayed
 Four hundred and fifty American To- comotives were sold to Russia for use in speeding up war supplies, and so far less tEan fifty of these have been unloaded at Vladivostok. American manufacturers are also sending 20,- 900 steel cars to Vladivostok. Heavy floating cranes were brought from Ja- pan to handle the war supplies. but 1t is almost impossible to move these in the ice. and they are of an old type not well adapted to the present work. rival
