PADDED PAY ROLL
 MATHEWS UND0ING
Head of Commissary Dept. at Plainville Station Held
 Under 5000 Bond.

Action taken today by New Haven railroad detectives in placing under arrest George Matthews, colored, head of the commissary department at the PlainVille depot, unveiled an alleged scheme devised to embeZzle funds from the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company. He was apprehended this morning as he stepped from a New York train and was given hearing in the Plainville court. Bonds were placed at $5,00O. Failing to convince Frank Maietta, head of the Great Western Market, to act as his bondsmans, he was bound over to the December term of the su- perior court and taken to the county Jail where he will await trial.
 The charge on which he was ar raigned before the Plainville court is thought to have been minor one and developments of importance are looked for within a few days. Several weeks ago he hired an ordinary la borer who was discharged at the end of the week. His name, however, still remained on the pay roll, his pay en- velope each week being pocketed by Matthews, it is claimed. 1nvestiga- ton shows that Matthews continued this procedure for five weeks, 1t Is said.
 Matthews, who did the buying for the entire working force at the freight depot, which is composed of about 15O men is alleged to have re-sold foodstuffs, purchased at various stores in New Britain and vicinity, among New York wholesale and retail houses. His plan of procedure, 1t is stated, was to buy in large quantities, as he held a free hand, charging all purchases to the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad company. It is al-
 legged that part of the foodstuffs de-
 livered were used at the transfer sta- ton and part was shipped to custom
 CTS which he had in different cities. It Is possible that the arrest of Mat thews, who Is said to have made mys- terious trips to New York, may dis 1 close complicity of someone "higher up''

 As a result of the affair many of the girls will be sent home and only 25O will be permitted to go to the front
 A second riot of more serious con- sequences is reported to have followed an attempt by crowd of women to take away from one ewoman a small quantity of cloth which she had pur- chased at the market place Militia men tried to defend the woman. and they, in turn were assailed Mounted militia and cossacks dispersed the rioters, but not until they had wrecked the militia headquarters and beaten to death 8 government agent who had shot into the crowd.

DANGEROUS ALIEN
 INTERNED FOR WAR
Hans Kuhne Arrested for Not Having Marshaps
 Permit

Hartford, Sept. 21.-Federal off, cers believe they have captured a dangerous alien in the arrest of a German, known in Hartford as Joseph Hlrt. Special Agent Lane got track or Hlrt living on a farm in Yantic and the young man was arrested in Norwich, Tuesday, for being within a barred zone without having a per- init from the United States marshal Hirt was held by the Norwich police for the federal authorities and Deputy United States Marshal Mahon went after him and brought him to Hart ford this morning.
 Government Agent Lane said it has been learned that the mans real name Is Hans Kuhne. He was born in Ger many in 1893 and came to the United States in 1913. He Is alleged to have deserted from the United States army at Fort Crockett, Galveston, Texas, April 30, 1915, at which time he was detailed as a war department clerk
 While living at the Yantic farm Kuhne, or Hirt, as he is better known, has been taking, it is alleged, motor boat trips in the Thames from Nor wich to the sound and the government agents are suspicious of his purpose iirt was summarily committed to the Hartford jail today to be held for the duration of the war with Germany The war department at Washington was notified by telegraph of the cap- ture and what action it will take is problematical.
 At the time of his arrest in Nor wich, Hirt, told the officers he had registered June just the same as any other alien, and did not know he had to obtain a permit to travel around a few miles from the Yantic farm.

Coroner CritiGiZeS Absence Of
 Guard at Saybrook Crossing
ENGINE CREW INN0CEN I.
Impossible to Overlook Neglect by "Ncw Haven" in Not Maintaining Proper Protection Where Eight Were Killed, Davis Says.

M1ddletown, Sept. 21.-The crew of the New Haven" road engine which ran down an automobile on the night of August 20, at the ferry crossing in Old Saybrook, resulting in the deaths Of Helen A. Asterino and seven other occupants of the car all of New ia- ven, are not held criminally respon- s1ble for the death, according to the finding of Coroner Stephen B. Davis made pubic today. He says he con- s1ders, however, the fact that the rail- road company left the crossing en- tirely unguarded at this place was a "neslgence which greatly contributed to this distressing accident
 The finding says:
 Engineer Not Careless.
 There does not seem to have been a want of care on the part of the en- gineer at the time of the accident so far as the evidence goes. It should be borne in mind, however, that the evidence from the occupants of the automobile cannot now be obtained. It is impossible to pass in silence the fact that the railroad company left the crossing entirely unguarded at this place at this time, negli- gence which l consider greatly con- tributed to this distressing accident. Guided by the evidence in this case I do not find that any person or per sons engaged in the running of the engine should be held to answer for the deaths of Helen A. Asterino and the seven others who were killed at the ferry crossing in the town of Old Saybrook August 2O."
 The finding also stated that per- son approaching the crossing from the eastward, the direction in which the automobile was travelling, had a clear view of the railroad for a long distance from the crossing, and that an automatic bell signal was ringing at the time. The engineer also testi- fled that the engine bell was ringing, and that as he was on the right side of the cab he could not see the auto mobile.
 The automobile party was return- ing from the military camp at Mantle at the time, where some of the party had been visiting a relative at the camp. Only one person, Louise Weyel, 2 years old, of the party of nine, survived the collision.

AVIATORS ATTACK
 YANKEE ENGINEERS
U. IS. Soldiers Engaged in Transport dDg Supplies Proud of Being Un-
 der Fire of Enemy Guns.

American Training Camp in France, Thursday, September 20 (by the As- sociated Press)-By day and night the men of the American regiment of en- gineers, which has taken over an inn portant line of French strategic rail- ways are hauling tons upon tons of ammunition and other supplies to the French army units operating against the Germans.
 The American regiment has been turned over as a unit to the French and is getting all its supplies, except clothing from the French govern ment. The officers and men entered upon the work with the greatest en- thusiasm and they already have been under German bombs and machine gun fire from airplanes.
 Within the past few nights a heavy train of supplies hurrying toward the front was attacked by several enemy planes. None of the bombs came dangerously close, but every time the fire box of the engine was opened for stoking the planes swooped down up on the train and spattered it with el-jacketed bullets. This fire got so hot that eventually the train was sopped, the crew taking refuge be- meath the eengine. Repeating their ex- periences afterwards, these trainmen rather "swanked' about it and over their inexperienced brothers.

Once More Chestnut Street Garage is
 the Cause of Trouble.

Once more the garage building corner of Chestnut and Fairview streets is causing trouble in the neigh borhood. This morning MT. Kunz complained to the police that the building, which is under construction, is being torn down at night almost as fast as his carpenters can build it up in the day time. He asked for police protection.
 When MT. Kunz first took out a permit to erect the garage the prop erty owners entered many loud and vigorous protests and even tried to buy the property, but were unsuccess- full. Legal steps 70 prevent the con- struction of the public garage were talked of, but never materialized.
