 Finally, tEae report indicates an orig inal intention to harm Baron 1shii, the minister for foreign affairs, but this project, 1t appears, was voted down by the majority of the band
 The testimony taken at the prelin- mary inquiries is evidently contradic- tory in nature. Thus, the defendant Onikura gave evidence that although it was intended to throw bombs at Messrs. Ozald, Hatano and Kuroiwa 1t was not really with the intention of killing them. 'tWe merely wanted to scare tfem," he declared
 Bombs failing, tine conspiratoFs had the idea, it was indicated, of resort ing to daggers and Japanese swords, All these alleged projects were stayed by the Japanese police, who are re- garded as slxilful detectors of crimi- nals, and who quickly put the defend ants behind the prison doors.

CLAIMS SALE WAS
 NOT BONA EIDE
Common Pleas Case Heard at Thurs
 day Morning session.

The court of common pleas came in in New London at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning with Judge Charles B. Waller on the bench to hear the case of Mary Sylvia of Westerly against Deputy Sheriff William H. Casey of Pawcatuck to repleVin per- sonal property. The case arises over the sale of a shoe repairing shop in Pawcatuck.
 The plaintiff alleges that December so, 1914, she purchased the shoe re- pairing shop in Broad street on the Pawcatuck side of Westerly from her husband, Albert Sylvia, and his brother, Manuel, who conducted the establishment under the firm name of Sylvia Bros. She paid $2,00o for the place, paying $1,00O at various times prior to Dec. 30, 1914, and paying the otser $1 ,000 on that date when she gained possession.
 Subsequently the Converse Rubber company brought suit against Sylvia Bros for goods and supplies and at etc The plaintiff alleges that the Sylvia brothers did not own the shop when the attachment was made but that it was her property. The prop erty was seized by Deputy Sheriff Ca- sey and this suit is to recover it from the officer.
 The defendant claims that the sale was not bona ffde or legal and that it was done for the purpose of evading payment of bills to creditors among whom was the Converse Rubber Go.
 The witnesses were the plaintiff, her husband and brother-in-law and Dep uty Sheriff Casey, and at the conclu- sion of the testimony the judge took the papers.

PLOTS TO AssAssINATE
 DIPLOMATS IN JAPAN
Disclosed by Magistrates Who Ex-
 amined Bomb Thrower.

Tokio, May 25.-Plots to assassinate leading perSonages in the political world of Japan are disclosed by the report of the magistrates who con ducted the preliminary examination of the men who are charged with having attempted to kill Premier Count Oku- ma. with bombs on the night of Jan-'l uary 12. There are four principal de- fendants in the case.
 According to the report as publish ed at great length in the Japanese press the ring-leaders of the gang ex- pressed the belief that only the re- moval of representative statesmen would arouse the national conscience to the decadence of society in Japan" The magistrates findings place Wa goro Fukuda, a former newspaper writer, as the leader of the band. This defendant is said to have declared the Okuma cabinet chiefly responsible for the degrading conditions" of today. The other defendants include J. Oni- kura, M. fWada and U. Shimomura
 Shimomura, who is charged with throwing two bombs at Count Ol1u- mas automobile, is said to have tes- tive he would have committed suicide with third which he reserved for the purpose, or, that failing, he would have slain himself with razor.
 The report declares, also, that the ag1tators planned to assassinate the
 
 bombs in the ministers meeting room in the house of peers. It was further arranged, say the magistrates, to make attempts on the lives of Yukio Ozaki, the minister of justice; Baron Hatano, the minister of the imperial household: and $. Kuroiwa, the editor and proprietor of the newspaper Yo- rodzu. The agitators vaguely held Minister Ozaki, according to the re- port, responsible for the destruction of the national morale" presumably | becausce of his decision not to prose- cute Vfscount Oura, the former min 1 1Ster of interior, who was accused of bribery. Baron Hatano was supposed to be responsible for the project ito bring about a legal resuseitation of | the family of the late General Nogi, l the hero of Port Authur. By imperial decree a relative of Nogi was given the name and title of the great sol 1 dier. As Nogi had expressly desired 1 that his name die with him, the idea

TROLLEY MEN REJECT
 SHORE LINES OFFER.
Men Are Rsticent As to Vote Taken
 This Week.

We do not consider the compro- mise offer of-the Shore Line Electric Railway Co. in the light of a business propositioni>we deem it instead an in suit" was the language in which an official of the New London trolleymen characterized the response of the com pany to the demand for an increase in wares to take effect June 1.
 While the trolleymen as a whole are reticent regarding the vote taken this week on the matter of accepting or rejecting the company's counter of fer, from the sentiment expressed it appears probable that the ballots were overwhelmingly in favor of rejection
 The demand of the trolleymen, which was forwarded some time since embraces sliding scale of wages with 8 minimum of 26 cents an hour for the beginner to a maximum of 35 cents an hour at the end of three years of service. A days work is fixed at nine hours and for any em- pIoynent over that period time and The Shore Line Co.'s offer is under stood to be 26 cents an hour for first year men, 27 cents the second year, 2S the third. 29 the fourth, 30 the fifth and 32 thereafter. In the opinion of trolleymen who will discuss the sit- uation at all. the company's proposal is not regarded in the light of an in- crease.
 'ewe notice that the trolley company
 is always clamoring for an excuse to raise fares in order to put the road
 on a paying basis.'' said the official quoted. "but when they have succeed ed in doing this and the workmen ask
 for Q deserved increase, the old cry of l poverty goes up just the same. The company expects it's men to live de-
 gently and respectfully and how man with a family can do so on the pres ent wages. with the cost of living as high as it is. is more than I can figure out.''
 l What action the Shore Line O. will take if its proposition is rejected can not of course be predicted. but it is understood that the trolleymen intend l to stand firm by their original de- | uaafd

GEN. BERTHIER SEES DEMONSTRATION
Rapid Firing Gun Given Another TryOus on Thursday Members of ItaIion Legion Were Present-Demonstra- ton Gives General Satisfaction.

That the Berthier rapid 1ring gun Is most formidable weapon of war fare was fully demonstrated at the tryout on the Preston rife range on Thursday afternoon before Major F1nzi and four of five members of the Italian commission. Present at the demon stration were General Berthier, the in- ventor, Herbert Wallace, Engineer John Stacker, Captain LeWufllion, the Belgian governments representative tere, and ex-Congressnan Edwin w. Higgins director of the Hopkins 6 Allen Arms company.
 The Italian officers arrived in Nar- wich from New York about o'clock Thursday afternoon, having come up from New London by automobile. Shortly after their arrival the entire party went by automobile to the Pres ton rifle range, where the tryout was held, permission to use the range hav- ing been granted by Colonel Dorsey of New London. The members of the Italian commission thoroughly exam ined the gun, whidla was taken to pieces and assembled again for their benefit. The use of the various parts was explained by the operator and then the gun was assembled again and set up for use. The magazines were filled,

the gun was loaded and the test be- gan. As the operator pulled the trig- ger a perfect fusilade of shots rang out and 20 bullets had penetrated the tar gets at the other end of fife 200 foot range. NAnother magazine with 20 more cartridges was quickly thrown in place and the operation was repeated. Then the members of the italian commission operated the rapid firing gun them selves and were very much impressed with the simplicity of it's construction and operation. Very little trouble was experienced during the demonstration, which was as a whole very satisfac- tory.
 The party then left the range for the city, arriving shortly after 3.45 o'clock. and went through the Hopkins G Allen Arms company's plant on Franklin street. The Hopkins & Allen Arms company have secured the exclu- sive right to manufacture the Berthier rapid firing gun, description of which has previously been given in The Bulletin.
 The visiting delegation returned to New York during the evening. John J. Murphy of the Hopkins 6 Allen Arms company had charge of the ar engagements for the demonstration.

THIRTY vIoLAToRs
 or BUTTER LAW.
Dairy comnissioner to Make Come
 plaints in Every County


 If ahere are not prosecutions in every county in the state within the next few weeks for violation of the law regulating the sale of imitation butter the fault will not be Dairy Commissioner F. H. Stadtmuellers
 For some time Commissioner Stadt- mueller has been making an tnyestiga- ton of reports made to him. Heehas held number of hearings. 1t1e re- suit of these hearings is that he has decided to present complaints to pros- ecuting officers in nearly 30 instances. There is no ta county in the state free from violations. The only difference in the condition in the eight counties in the state is one of degree. The hearings were held behind closed doors as the law required, and the names of dBaose who were before the commis- stoner were not revealed by him, and will not be known until the eases are brought to court for trial, and if the cides not to prosecute. the names of the persons against whom complaint has been made by the commissioner will not become public.
 In the opinion of Commissioner Stadtmueller there is a great deal of activity in the state in the business of selling limitations of butter and this activity makes the dealers somewhat careless in their observance of the re- Quirements of the law. TGBe sale oi limitations is not prohibited; it is merely regulated. The activity of the business is, in the opinion of Commis- sioner Stadtnueller, due to the in crease in the price of butter. Per sons are using imitation butter now who heretofore never thought of hav- ing other than real butter on theil tables.

SERV-US MINCE MEAT

Package condensed nince meat is made up today of the best quality of dried fruit and other items which can be found, all of which are found in of spices and entrants. The study of packing condensed mince meat has ez- tended Ozer a period of 100 years and today is as near it's perfection as we m the factories in which it is packed is beyond reproach as the competition today in these lines necessitates the guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The. apples used are of the best grade of New York State, where in our opinion is grown the best favored apple known. The raisiE5 used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procuring the very highest know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ ent favors or different grapulatiou re- quired for different purposes. Every used in the manufacture of mince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand-picked by people trained to know what should a:5d should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house. wife cleaner by far than she could possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, regardless of how clean it may be, and make up the filler for n6r mlQCe pie. The OlQ 1Qea or dirt being prevalent in quantity is today disputed by the greatest authorities on food products. The meat used in mince meat is of the choicest and to- day the same corn-beeI which you and I would use on our table is what is being used in Serv-us Minee Meat. There are very few pies made which can be used as handily by the house. wife as mince meat for all 1t requires is a little water and being heated for ten minutes and it is ready for the crust and then the table and she may without fear of loss carry three or four packages of mince meat in her pantry, having 1t ready at any time for the chance occurrence of unexpect
 ed company aud it will be a Sood dessert free from dirt. It is our thorough belief that a mince meat pie made from condensed mince meat is about as cheap a dessert as can be prepared and yet as good.
 For many years mince meat was considered a winter dish Each wear for the last ten our factory has had to increase it's capacity during the summer months until today 1t runs every day of the year with a regular force of helpers We ship goods to every part Of the country the entire year. This of course means a great increase in the use Of these goods over when minee meat was eaten only in the winter months which means an fr,-
 creased sale over the former winter
 consumption.
