Trio Arrested for Assault
When Mrs. Perry Wouldn't Dig Potatoes
Trouble Started

Three cases of assault were disposed
OF by Deputy Judge Il. G. Bradford in
the city court Tuesday morning.
John Perry, charged with choking
his wife, Ellen Perry, plead guilty.
Mrs Perry said her hubby came up
from the potato field with a crouch
and after some words she threw just a
tiny little snuff box at him which
landed near his back collar button.
Her man took offense and grabbed her
and ehoked her.
During the tussle she hurt her thumb.
John said that he left for the potato
field and went back TO breakfast. His
wife promised to come down and help
him harvest the crop of spuds. She
didn't appear until afternoon and then
only stayed q couple of minutes. He
all dolled up intending to 90 down
street. He told her il she didn't want
TO dig spuds .she had better get out.
She thereupon threw snuff box at
him.
THAT would make any man fmad, y
said John, who admitted the assault.
After paying SI3.89 sfer use of the
city treasury John ana his wife left
court room together.
Albert Matowsky and John Coulick
plead guilty to tassaulting Wadslaw

From Connecticut Camps.

plans For Departure of Big Quota
From Connecticut Camps.
New Haven, Oct. 2.-Plans for the
departure of the big 40 per cent quota
that is to go from this city to camp
Devens on Thursday are rapidly near
ing completion. Orders have been re-
ceived from the authorities in Hart
ford bv the second division instruct
ing them that the quota will leave TINS
city at II O'Clock on Oct. A and VIII
make the trip by special train TO Aver,
Mass. by way of Worcester. arriving
there at approximately $50 o'clock.
The announcement that the drafted
men are TO go at noon also increases
the likelihood of some celebration at
the time of their departure. There IS
also a good probability that the may
or's address will be made from the
band stand in the Green instead of at
the armory.
While at least one division has not
as vet had its full quota certified back
to ii. there is no reason to believe but
that the full number will be ready by
Thursday.
As indicating the ATTITUDE OF the aN-
erage called man and the difficulty
that some of the divisions are having
in obtaining the desired number OF
men. it was announced by the second
division that of the men who were
called for examination on Saturday,
total of forty-four. twenty-five claimed
exemption on the ground of being
aliens, eighteen who were called upon
to take the physical examinations
claimed exemption on the ground of
having dependents, leaving but one
man of the total number called who
passed his examination and did not
claim exemption. This establishes the
record for the per cent of men OBJ
tanned during the present call provid,
ed the board at its meeting allows all
the claims that have been presented.

TURN OUT RIFLES
WITHOUT ORDERS
Winchester Firm is Said to Be
Taking Great Risks.
PRODUCING 400 GUNS A DAY
Unable to Get Final Specifications, 1t
Is Turning Out Rifles AT Own
ask In Anxiety to
Equip Forces.

Bridgeport. Oct. 2.-That the Win
chester Repeating Arms Company IS
turning out Acc rifles a day at its own
risk. the iinal word not having been
received from the ordnance depart
ment, and that the Remington and
Eddystone plants were idle, is the
charge made by the New York Tribune
in connection with its alleged exposure
OF the rifle situation This claim, the
Tribune says, is confirmed by General
Crezier's statement last Friday to the
effect that 1900 rifles were being re-
ceived daily, 500 from the govern
ments TWO arsenals and 400 from two
private plants, one of which is Win
chester's.
Commenting still further on the at
titude of the ordnance bureau, the
Tribune says:
"The advantages of interchangeable
ity not only as to rifle parts but as to
ammunition also are obvious to any
lay person However, the facts are
that absolute interchangeability of rifle
parts is not practically possible. and
that, if ii were possible, it would be so
only as to the reehanmbered Endelds
manufactured by the Winchester Rem
ington and Eddystone plants. These
would never be interchangeable with
the Springhelds that are made by the
government itself
Both the Enfield and the Spring
field will shoot standard American am
munition. but American ammunition
will not be Interchangeable on the bat
tleHelds OF Europe with either French
or British ammunition.
THE layman cannot understand why
the war department, governed by an
ideal OF absolute interchangeability,
should have refused, at the earnest re
quest of the English. to adopt the Brit
ish standard of ammunition. This,
English experts say, was the greatest
technical bander this country could
made. The American ammunition may
be better. but the British is admitted
to be COED enough and it was already
being produced in this country in enor-
nous quantities for the British gov
eminent BY insisting upon American
ammunition the ordnance bureau ere
ated the necessity of remarking the
Enfield rifle. which. like the ammuni-
ton. was already being produced in
large quantities for the British.
And the irony of it all is that. in
spite Of the war departments ideal OF
interchangeability or partly on ae-
count of it, confusion on the battle
fields of Europe is greatly increased.
On the western front, where there nave
been two kinds of rifles, there will now
be four, towit the British Enfield, the
American Enfield, the Springfield and
the French. And wherethere have been
two kinds of ammunition there will be
benceforth three-namely, American,
British and French.
