BELIEVE HEAVY
 CARS CAUSE OF
 WINDOW BREAKS
Insurance Investigators Ex anime Into Theory About
 Smashed Panes.

Another mysterious window break in the show front of Meig's & Co., $ store at Main street and Fairfield ave- nue following similar occurrences there and elsewhere about the city which have long puzzled insurance adjusters is today ascribed for the first time to excessively heavy trolley cars.
 The big s2Oo plate glass window, broken sometime during the night in Meigs & Co.'S store, is the fifth pane to be smashed during the last 12 months. The Hadley store recently suffered two such losses in the same place. Elsewhere throughout the business section windows have broken overnight and the cause has been eag- erly sought by .adjusters.
 It was first believed that automo- piles passing at a high rate of speed were picking up stones and hurling them with violence at the windows. This theory was abandoned by inspec- tors for the affected insurance com panies who have paid several thous- and dollars worth of insurance dur ing the past year. L
 William Baird, assistant manager of MelgS after an lnVeStlgat1On tooay oe- clares that the belief now prevails that the passage of heavy cars over the Connecticut tracks at night is the cause. It has been observed by insur- ance adjusters that the heavier type of car during the daytime causes great vibration of buildings in the cen ter of the city. They weigh from 25 tons each. At night heavy construc- ton trains bearing many tons of trap rock, rails, etc., and heavily loaded ex- press cars are allowed on the streets. With little traffic to impede their progress they travel at considerable speed. It is now believed that this class of traffic, with its consequent jar at crossings is responsible. Investiga- tion. will be made by the adjusters to confirm this theory.

Count Albert Apponyi, one of the leaders of the opposition in the Hun garian parliament, according to ad- vices from Budapest, is a receptive candidate for the post of Austro- Hungarian ambassador to the United States. He is we'll known in America
 and it was urged in the lobby of the Hungarian house of deputies that his appointment would be received equal ly well in Hungary and the United States. Count Apponyi few days ago referred to the vacant ambassado dorship in a speech in the house of deputies, in which he said: We all expect that suggestion of peace will come eventually from across the ocean. When that time arrives it will be un- fortunate if we do not find ourselves represented there. Certain steps al- ready have been taken by the Amer ican administration limiting that if would be pleased to see the monarchy again represented in Washington"

Philadelphia, Sept. 2S.-Hurrying to the bedside of his wife, the one sur viVor in the triple shooting in hotel here early yesterday, Joseph c. Le Due of Chicago today said that he had every confidence in her loyalty to him and that he would stick to her through all her troubles.
 Mrs. Le Due. was improved today and physicians said she will recover, unless complications set in. She wes shot by Mrs. Harry Belzer of New York, who found her and J. c. Gra- veur, also of New York, in a hotel room. Mrs. Belzer killed Graveur, who had discarded her after friend ship of two years, and also ended her own life.
 There was an affecting meeting when Le Due reached the bedside of his wife, where he remained for some time. Later he was escorted to de- tective headquarters for an interview with the captain of detectives.
 Before reaching the hospital, Le Due told of his happy married life of 15 years and his implicit trust in his = fe He repeated many times his be- lief in her faithfulness to him.
 Le Due said he had known Graveur for ten years and always had regarded him highly. He had not seen him for seven or eight years and had never heard his wife speak of him. Mrs. Le Due, he said, left Chicago for New York about two weeks ago to visit her nephew and his wife. He had letters from her every day.
 Le Due said he did not believe his wife had visited Atlantic City with Graveus. He thought she probably met him accidentally in New York ard consented to take an automobile ride this city
 When told that Graveur and Mrs. Le Due had registered at the hotel as man and wife, Le Dues face grew grave. ~f
 That was the work of Graveur and I am sure Lillian did not know of it," he exclaimed.
 Le Due went on to say that his wife is in a delicate position which would probably reflect on her but he still be- lieved her innocent of any wrongdoing. Mrs. Le Due, the husband said, has been studying operatic singing for ten

TELL DETECTIVES
 THEY WERE HELD UP BY BANDITS
Four Factory Workers Com plain of Wild Experience
 With Gunmen.

Simultaneously with the stern com mand Hands up.' three men. one wearing a vivid red. and the other two black, masks, confronted four factory workers at 5:15 this morning, as they were crossing lot near the Bridgeport Metal Goods Go. factory, where they were employed, at Pine and Bostwick streets
 The would-be bandit, wearing the red mask threateningly brandishing a large revolver, brought the four fac- tory workers to halt and obey his command, ordering his two compan- ions to ''frisET the intended victims, with all the bravado and picturesque action of a movie actor, or wild and woody western stage coach robber."
 The novelty of the occasion, how ever, had lost it's charm for the fac- tory workers by this time and as two of the culprits stepped forward to carry out the leaders commands, the accosted men turned tail an0 ran about. 100 yards across the lot, in considerably less than 10 seconds.
 The gunmen chagrined and disgust ed stood for several. moments gazing at the fleeing men ,and the opera bouffe ended by thern beating 8 hasty retreat in an opposite direction.
 The men who were held up and who reported the matter to the police, gave their names as David Berger, 1858 Lee avenue, William Cunningham, ITO Lee avenue, Earl Girard, 151 Poplar street and Martin Nichols, 615 Pembroke street. They asserted. de- spite the seeming skepticar attitude of Lieut.. E. o. Cronan, that the dramatic incident took place US they were leav- ing the factory for home. They are employed nights.

years. Before her marriage sle was Lillian Kappes, of Cincinnati, where ''~- mother now lives.
 At the hospital Le Due told his wife to cheer up, that he would forgive her and take her back to Chicago.
 Mrs. Le Due told the story of the shooting and events leading up to it to her husband in the presence of detectives. She said she came to Philadelphia by train and not by au- tomobile as reported, to see her nephew and his baby, recently born. She denied that she had travelled to various cities with Graveur and sug- gested that her identity had been con- fused with that of Mrs. Belzer. The wounded woman said Graveur told her he had come to Philadelphia with Mrs. Belzer and then persuaded her to go back to New York.
 According to Mrs. Le Due, Graveur called up Mrs. Le Dues New York address by telephone and learned that she had come to Philadelphia to see her nephew. He was given the ad- dress and later he met her.
 The same evening, Mrs. Le Due said, they went to a theatre, then SUD- per and a dance on the roof garden of the hotel and suggested. Mrs. Le Due said she did not want to be en- cumbered with her hand bag and at Graveur's suggestion, she said she left it in his room on the floor below.
 Mrs. Le Due further said she i'm tended returning to New York that night, and after the dance she went with Graveur to his room for the sole purpose of getting the handbag. As they entered, Mrs. Le Due said, Mrs. Belzer. whom Graveur thought he had induced to return to New York, jump ed from closet and began shooting.
 Mrs. Mann, sister of Mrs. Le Due, corroporated Mrs. Le Dues story that she came to Philadelphia to visit rela- tives.
 Miss McAndrew, sister of Mrs. Bel ger, who came here today to claim the body of Mrs .Belzer. said Mrs. Le Duc's statement that Mrs. Belzer had come here with Graveur was not true. She also denied that her sister had lived with Graveur.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

At the close of the borty-seventh week of the laying contest at Storrs the total production for all pens was 152,894 eggs or 1086 more than for the full ffty-two weeks last year; thus all the eggs produced from now on will be a clear gain over last year s total, 7,106 being necessary to bring the average yield up to 160. The to- tai production for the week was 2,7OS which was 251 eggs less than for the preceding week. Rock Rose Farm s pen of Barred Rocks from Katonah, N. Y., won first place for the week with a production of 51 eggs. J. E. Watson's White Wyandottes from Marbledaae, Conn, were second with 4s eggs. followed by Dr. N. W. San born's Buff Wyandottes from Holden, Mass, with a score of AS eggs. A. B. Halls White Leghorns from Walling- ford. Conn, tied with the Agricultural College pen of "Oregons'' from Cor wallis. Ore, with a production of AT eggs for the week.
 It is interesting to note that it is the heavy breeds that are keeping up the production during the home stretch. Out of the thirty-eight pens of Leghorns there were eleven which laid 31 eggs or better during the week while from the ffty-five pens of Rocks, Reds, and wyandottes. twenty-three pens laid more than 30 eggs for the week.
 Fifteen hens out of the entire con test made perfect scores for the week and only three of these were Leg horns.
 A point of unusual interest in the egg market last week was a drop of one cent in average quotation of fancy white eggs on the New York market. indirectly to the threatened railroad strike. The fact that many rail- roads placed embargoes on western eggs held up shipments fos few days and when these enbargoes were re- moved the consequent rush of eggs to the New York market resulted in a supply slightly greater than the de- mand causing a slight falling off in price.
 The three best pens in each of the principal breeds are as follows:

WAR BRINGS NEW WORD.

In reports and records of the war
there are few words more frequently
met with than salient. Yet as a
noun it is quite modern, and is only
to be found in the most modern
dictionaries, but as an adjective it
was in use centuries ago in its origi-
nal sense of "leaping." Now, that
which leaps is prominent, and so this
became the secondary meaning.
Then as that which projects is also
prominent, a projecting angle was
called a salient angle, and the ex-
preston passed iI.to use by military
authorities. Short as i is, however,
they found it too long, and, drop
