W1NIFRED OTIS.

A large portion of Bridgeport in- cluding the entire parish of St. Angus tines R. c. church has been plunged into grief oyer the sudden and un- expected loss of Winifred, widow of Patrick Otis who died at her home, 1887 Park avenue, yesterday after noon. The death of Mrs Otis, coming within a week after that of her .hus- band is shock not alone to her fam fly but the very wide circle of friends and acquafntances in this city which she readily made through her devSut work in the church and that charfss- 'bieness of spirit which carried her good deeds far from the circle of her home and church. Although for many years she had been confined closely to her domestic duties and the admin istration Of her, household, yet she found time to care for many in less fortunate circumstances than her own. The death of her husband com Ing as severe blow to her buoyant spirit paramount over her advancing years, is believed to shave left her so weak that she was unable to over come the inf1rmities of her age. She is survived by two daughters, Lillian, a school teacher in the Bridgeport schools. Mabel, and .one son, George. Patrick Otis died last Saturday.

tact out of the holocaust. He was avery poor specimen of the Prussian infantryman, cringing in his desire to please his captors, and anxious to an swer questions volubly and pour out 9 torrent of hysterical sentences to any one who would listen to him.
 The Bavarians watched himLin the intervals of watching the wonderful air fights above them-with open con- tempt.
 The Bavarians and Prussians drifted apart when they entered the cage, and by nutuaI consent remained apart wherever the fortunes of war threw. them into the same barbed wire com pound.
 By nine o'clock the cages began to fill steadily. In one of them found nearly one thousand Prussians and, Bavarians of all sizes, ages and condi-' tion Of health and nerves, being mar shalled by their own non-commission- ed officers, who continued their duties in the same harshly authoritative manner, under the direction of Bri- tish sergeant, as they had shown un- der their own officers only few hours before, and seemingly little af- fected by the changesof ownership.
 Ragged Huns
 x All were extremely dirty, and the copdition of many excited the disgust of their escort. They had come out of the barrage hatless, Tagged, and in some instances coatless, although I saw one collected young Bavarian who had dragged into captivity all of his personal kit, some food, and all his little souvenirs. Many of them wore shrapnel helmets covered with sack

Rev. Albert Booth Is
 Dead at Ninety Three

In the death this morning of Rev. Albert Booth, Bridgeport has lost one of it's oldest and most respected citi- zens, and Methodism one of it's most beloved and faithful pastors. Until a few months ago when failing eye sight and hearing made it imprudent for him to ventutre forth. he was one of, the we'll known hgures on the streets of our city.
 Rev. MT Booth was born August 22. 1925, in the city of Springfield, Mass, the son of Samuel Chandler Booth and Funfce Day. GIis preparatory training for college was gained at MunsonT Academy, Mupnson, Mass. and he entered Yale University with the class of 1850. Following his grad nation from Yale he continued his preparation for the work of the church at Union Theological seminary and was ordained a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church in 1sE5 He remained actively engaged in preaching the gospel for 40 years, re- tiring in 1894. X His first pastorate was in Darien. Conn. where he met and married Louisa Tristram. who survives him. As all his pastorates were in Connect tout he is well remembered throughout the state, having preached in the fol- lowing places; Darien, West Chester and West Farms, Gdtchffeid. sev,no,ir1 Freeport and Bethel RockydIle Can i. ter, Whitestone, Wocdbury. Rox1,,rv NeW Milford, West Granby. Rloon, l, neld, Milford, Cheshire, KensSng gtonl EAston, RoxbuTv and washin e.to,, unionyilie and Burlington, North Can ton and Washington Hill, and North Wilton and Vista. '
 During his pastorate in Easton he
 occupied the pulpit of Lee .chan1 the first. Mthodist church to be found ed in America, and at the celebra ton of that vent some two years arc he was one of the prominent and honored participants. His life was unevntfui, ping humbly spent in the service of humanity.
 He' was secrtary of the Class Of 1850 of Yal University. Out of a total number of 80 at the time of graduation, only four are now living.
 The end came quietly and peace fully, just as his If had been. He lackd few weks of beAes 9s wears of age. The heart just stopped, and he laid down his Masters work here to take it pp in the world beyond.
 He is survived by his widow. five childfen, and one grandchild: Mrs. p. A. Disbrow, of Bridgeport; Judge Wilbur F, Booth, Yale 'S4, of the United States Federal Court, Mime apolis. Minn, George F. Booth, of the Buffalo Cereal Co. Bufzalo, N. Y.; Minnie Day Booth, Hartford; J. R. Booth, president of the Booth & Bay- liss Commercial School, Bridgeport. and Doris R. Booth. daughter of J. R.

There was the usual proportion of spectacled clerks, square headed peasants, elderly artisans, and young boys, all extremely disciplined and obeying the orders of their officers in preparing to be searched, ticketed and examined, as though early morning mine explosions. and wholesale surren- ders were part of the ordinary regi- mental routine. Four officers sat sulk- fly on the grass of the canvas-sided paddock, staring at the peasants, who surveyde this pleasant scene from their cottage doors beside the duty road There, entered a stout British sergeant, showing two more German officers their place in the compound

 There was much stiff lowing from the waist and sticking of duty boots and precise Prussian salutes, and then a curious little scene in pantomime. A young lieutenant, ring stiffly from the grass, greeted one of the newcom- CTS and I could see that he asked a question. The other lifted his shoul- ders and his outstretched hands in . gesture of despair. Quite so. What could he have done? The other man nodded, and all of them sat on the grass and sulked again

EXTENSION OF E. 2. q 6. W.
 TO ee euILr AT ONCE

PHoENlX. June 2l--The Tucson. Phoenix & Tidewater railroad exten- sion of the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad ia to be built immediately Surveyors have been at work on new route for the line which paral, ,e,s the Soo,hern Pasifc. almost to Casa Grande.
 The survey that is now being com pleted into Phoenix Is what is known as the final survey. As to the exact ownership of the railroad there has been some speculation. but it is cer- tain. say those interested. that it is one or the other or all three of the Rock Island, Fl Paso & Southwest ern and the Tucson, Phoenix & Tide water.
 The survey that is now being com pleted was started at Tucson. IL leaves the Southern Pacific tracks there. parsllelling that line for about iO miles to the west to Picacho. where il turns in a northwesterly di- rection. leaving Casa Grande seven or eight miles to the southwest. From there is goes northwest and crosses the Gila river al Sacaton. 25 miles down the river west froEH Florence. After crossing the river the survey goes in almost a direct line 10 Chandler. Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix.
 From the turning point the line or survey parallels the Southern paci- fic tracks to Phoenix It 's the suppositiCn that at Phoenix the line will connect with the Santa Fe rail road and that through trains will be run over the Santa Fe's Parker cut of to the coast. making one of the greatest transcontinental railroad lines in America.
