Runaway Boy Is
Caught By Ruse
of Family Visitor

Willie Dunn, an incorrigible run
away from the city Fresh Air Home,
was committed to the st. FRANCIS
Home at New Haven today, but before
his commitment it is believed he has
been thoroughly cured of his pro-
pensity for taking French leave. A
clever ruse adopted by Mrs. GOD
man, family visitor for the Charities
department, is believed to have eff
fected the cure.
Willie is II years old. His moth
err Mary Savage, deserted him. He
has been under city care for some
time but the matrons of the Fresh Air
home. have not been able to keep
him. He has run away innumerable
times and yesterday Mrs. Goldman
was notified he had run away again.
Willie likes to slide on the ice and
he visited, every pond in Fairfield to
try this sport Mrs. Goldman fol-
lowed him about, passing much OF
the afternoon on the trail but at each
pond she was just few minutes
behind. AS a matter of fact Willie
had one eye open for her appfoach
as he changed his playground and in
each instance left just before Mrs.
Goldman saw him.
Late in the afternoon Mrs. Goldman
espied Willie scurying across a va
cant lot near the Round House in
Fairfield. Without knowing it she had
been close enough to touch the boy
when he discovered her presence. Mrs.
Goldman is an active woman but in a
foot race she is no match for the agile
Willie.
t"stop, Willie, STOP" she called. II
have a pistol"
"Oh, lady, lady," walled Willie, fall
ing on his knees and lifting his clasped
hands, don't shoot me please, don't
shoot me-"
Mrs. Goldman quickly 'collared the
lad and took him to the Fresh Air
Home where he promised never to
run away again. The boy has been
so incorrigible, however, the matrons
decided he ought to be placed under
sterner discipline.

HARRY MONEYS
LEPHANTS Talk
IN ACT FOR 1917
Premier Trainer Surpasses
ALI Former Feats In
Training Animals

Henry J. Mooney, master trainer
of the Barnem & Bailey elephant
herd, now at winter quarters in this
city, is said to have accomplished a
feat never before equalled in the
animal world. He has taught an ele-
plant to initiate the human voice to
such a remarkable degree that a
person hidden from sight of the ami
NAL will readily mistake the sound
for human expression.
The trick was developed through
close observation of two elephants
long owned by the show and insep-
arabic from each other. For years
they have carried on series Of noises,
each to the other, which has been
considered in the, light of converse
ton.
Mooney. observed certain vocal
sounds as lie result Of specific acts
upon the part Of the other. Foster
ing these known characteristics he is
said to have produced a combination
Of syllables which are remarkably
close to words.
Utilizing the movements of three
elephants he has been able to pro.
duce an entirely new act for the next
show year which is 1udicrous in the
extreme and far surpasses all pre-
vious training efforts in the baseball
game and dinner feast.
A synopsis Of the act shows hus-
band and wife at home, the husband
under the influence of intoxication
and demanding to be supplied with
drink. Efforts to put the drunken
elephant to bed produces discussion
and the police are called into the
home. An arrest is finally made.
The act not only far surpasses any,
thing of the kind ever attempted with
elephants-the most intelligent Of all
animals-but the stimulation of the
human voice will place Mooney, ia
miliarly known to his associates in
Bridgeport as Harry" and living at
Is Bassick avenue, far in the lead
of American trainers if not in the
world.

4. BONAR LAWS
ADDRESS REPLY
TO PEACE PLAN

Y London, Jan 25-The Westminster
Gazette expresses the opinion today
that last nights speech of Andrew
Honar4 Law, chancellor Of the ex-
1hequer, is the best answer yet made
- the address Of President Wilson to
the United States senate.
President Wilson, says the newspa-
Per, has described his ideals in terms
which as nearly as possible CORE
apond with our aims. but speaking as
q neutral, he has suggested that
neither side ought to score a victory.
He. having to keep the balance poised
between the belligerents, may say
that to his own people without offense.
We, In the middle of the conflict, are
obliged to reply that there is no pos
ability Of realizing our aims or his
unless we succeed in defeating the
enemy
Arguing that the Germans, if they
come out of the conflict unbeaten,
Will after recuperation take up their
old methods, the Westminster Gazette
continues:
1t Is our business that this does not
happen. but meantime we have moth
Ing but good will for President Wilson
or any other neutral who attempts
u0T0 anu now TO Work out metnOQS
whereby. when this was is over, peace
may be firmly esta blished. =
The negotiations between the bel
ugerents may be greatly faciIited
when the time comes if the neutrals,
under the lead Of the United States,
have clear ideas of the manner in
which the ideals proclaimed by Pres
ident Wilson can be put into practice.
IL they can show us the framework
or a. new International structure,
guaranteeing nations against agrees
sion and securing a free, peaceful ex-
tstence for nationahties, it will be
much easier to adjust the details at
the peace conference"
The Westminster Gazette expresses
the opinion that the presidents speech
should receive an. Official reply from
the Allies
The Globe in its comment says:
The only league Of peace which
can be effected until mankind in gen.
eral has ceased to conjure the posi-
bi1ity Of war is a league with force be-
hind it."
The Pail Mall Gazette invites Pres
ident Wilson to visit Europe and talk
with wounded prisoners on both sides,
the Inhabitants of invaded provinces
and survivors Of torpedoed merchant
men. NssSuch a tour of inquiry" it
adds, would lend an authority to- his
next deliverance on the waf such as
can hardly attach itself to conclu-
aons formed in his remote eyrie."

Is miles an hour and the car about

Washington, Jan. 25.-Champions Of
President wilson's proposal to forbid
gtx1lSs and lockouts on railroads
pending investigation will carry their
n9ht to the floor Of the senate, If nee
essary. it was said today despite the
failure OF the senate interstate COM
merce committee to approve such a
provision in the pending railroad bill.
Before taking action, however, it is
expected that still another attempt
will be made to get the committee to
reconsider
For the second time the committee
turned down the proposal yesterday.
The vote stood 10 against to five for.
The committee is going ahead with
its task of framing a bill which, Chair

Now In Reformatory

Alleged to have been connected with
a band of automobile thieves whose
dealings are nation wide, William
Richmond who stole bicycles and au-
tomobiles by the score was today sem
fenced to the Connecticut Reformatory
by Judge, Frank Wilder in the city
court. Lieut.. George Fox Of the de-
tective bureau has already recovered
in Newtown 10 automobiles and IL
bicycles which Richmond and youth
now under arrest in Hartford, Wal

is claimed dby the police that they
would carry markers with them when
starting on an auto thieving expedi-
ton. When they had singled out the
car they wanted they would remove
the plate and substitute the one in
their possession.
Knapp is now under arrest in New

MACHINISTS' UNION
TO APPEAL DECISION
IN PICKETING CASE

It was decided last night that the
International Association of Machin-
lists. Local No. 80. will appeal to the
supreme court from the verdict of
jury in the superior court which yes
terday gave the Max AIMS Machine
Co. of Fairfield a verdict of $4,000
against the union. Attorney Hugh J.
.Lavery of counsel for the union, said
the appeal will be based on four
grounds: that the verdict was not JUS
titled by the evidence; that it was
contrary to the evidence; that the
amount of damages was excessive and
that Judge Bennett erred in charging
the jury to bring in a verdict for the
plaintiff.
The AIMS Co. claimed damages be-
cause during the strike Of 1915 twas
alleged union pickets had threatened
and intimidated employees. This was
denied by the union.
