MOTHER.LOVE TO BE DEFENSE OF ACCUSED Mrs. DeSaulles Is Placed on Trial for Killing of
 Husband.

Mineola, N. Y., Nov. 19.-Selection of a jury in the supreme court here, Judge David R. Manning presiding, to try Mrs. Blanca De Saulles for the murder of her divorced husband, John Longer De Saulles, politician and former Yale athlete, was expected to be completed before evening.
 As Mrs De Saulles' counsel has ad mitted there is no dispute regarding the fact that she shot her former hus- band, there is belief that 'Irresponsi- bility," growing out of mother love for her young son "Jack." who, by court order after the divorce trial, was placed in the custody of the fath- CT for five months each year. may be the main plea.
 Announcement has been made that no attack would be made on the char acter of MT. De Saulles at the trial, which means that evidence taken at private hearings previous to the granting of the divorce will not be revealed.
 Senor Blanca Vergara- -Errazuris, mother of the accused, a member of a distinguished South American fam ily is expected to be one of the prin- cipal witnesses for the defense. Little Jack De Saulles, the innocent cause of the murder, will not be in the court room.

CONDITIONS CHAOTIC

Washington Receives Mes sage From Ambassador
 Francis at Petrograd.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Ambassador Francis at Petrograd reported to the state department in a message dated last Friday and received today that he had recommended that all unat- tached women and men accompanied by women and children leave the city
 The ambassador reported condi- tions in the capital chaotic but fair ly quiet. There was no central head of government. The embassy dealt directly with the superintendent of passenger service of the railway in arranging for the removal Of the Americans over the TranS-SiEerian n railroad.
 Mir. Francis said he feared no dam age to the embassy but conditions were so unstable that he deemed 1t best to get the Americans out if pos- sible
 Easing their opinion on the state ment of Lenine, that the success of the Bolsheviki was dependent on a worldwide revolutionary movement of soldiers and workmen, officials at the Russian embassy today predicted that the followers of the Kerensky government would win either through a military victory or through the evident incapacity of the, ,Bolsheviki to make good their promises to their followers
 No late news has been received at the embassy but officials declared that the mention of Captain Pavloff, as the commander of troops opposing the Bolsheviki was an encouraging sign. Captain Pavloff is said to be of the staff of the social democratic workmen's party and the opinion was expressed that this means that one of the strongest factions of the op- position had gone over to the moder- ateS

NO CONNECTION.
Between Fire on c. N. E. Trestlc and
 One Among Rubbish.

Simsbury, Conn.,, Nov. 19.-Passe1,- gers on trains over the Central New England railroad between Hoskins and Tariffville, on the line to Hart ford, were being transferred around the gap in the trestle over the meadows which was caused last night by Q fire. The bridge over the river was not burned. About fifty feet of the wooden trestle on the approach was burned but the supporting spiles apparently are intact. Two gangs of workmen were set at work last night to throw timbers across the gap and as soon as the work Is fin ished rail, will be relaid and traffic resumed. The fire is thought to have started from a grass fire winch itself was probably ignited by engine sparks. As there is no bridge watch men the fire crept to the trestle be- fore it was noticed.
 The small blaze in the freight yard was among some rubbish at a switch and was probably caused by engine sparks. Railroad men regarded it as insignificant. The two fires had no connection. Grass fires have been common the past two weeks and one in brush in Granby has spread over considerable land.

LEMON CROP IS FINE

Police Board Forced to swallow Bill
 From Municipal Farm Commission
 for Services at POtatOland.
 The board of police commissioners will have to do some tall figuring or else the money appropriated for the police department will not be enough to last the fiscal year. Obliged to pay a bill of over $900 for special police work at the city farm on the Tracy property, the board realizes that there is not enough money on hand and in addition to its other expenses a very serious situation has been cre- ated.
 It was customary whenever special police work was done for other city departments to have the departments for which the work was done pay for it. The park commission always paid for police work at Walnut Hill park and when policemen were detailed to guard strips of the city streets under repair the board of public works paid for it.
 But not so with the farm commit tee. It decided to set precedent and made the police department pay the bill The board paid the bill and DOW has given up all hope of being recom- pensed by the farm committee. As that board has enough bills to pay without getting into additional ex pense the police board has decided not l to press the matter.
 1 If the unlocked for expense takes | away what money the board has left, the council will be asked to transfer funds from some other department to make good the shortage.
 There is at present a very pressing need for additions to the regular po- lice force but the board is without money to provide for the expense. As it is supernumerary policemen are doing regular police duty. The need of more policemen Is admitted by 1 Chairman P. F. King who says the
 board cannot afford to hire them, however and the prospect of secur- ing more men can be given no thought
 until more money is secured.
