ALBERT CRAIG, ALIAS
WIN. BATEMAN, CAPTURED
Wanted for Fraudulently Converting
to His Own Use Money Belonging
to One Charles 6. Wilson.

Albert Craig. alias William E.
Bateman, aged 81 years and married.
was arrested at the Hartford House
at about o'clock Thursday morning
by Officers William y. Fox and
Michael Bolduc and locked up at the
police station where he is now wait
ing a disposition of his case. Craig
arrived in the city on the 10 Pull
man Thursday morning, after having
been absent since shortly after the
middle of April.
, The warrant on which Craig was
taken alleged that he had on April Is
flauduiently converted to his own use
money To the amount Of 500 belong
ing to one Charles T.. Wilson. who
has his headquarters at Hotel North
and who is 4 dealer in lightning rods.
The specific act with which Craig is
charged is that of taking a 500 bin
belonging TO Wilson. ostensibly for
the purpose Of getting the bill!
changed, after which he disappeared
from view and had not since that
time been seen in Augusta until his
arrival on the Pullman yesterday
morning, few hours before his ar
rest
1t was learned yesterday that tie
loss OF the money was the result Of a
Joy ride" which was INDUCED in by
MIR. Wilson, the owner of the bill,
and that with him were another man
from Now Nnrlx NJ
hired public automobile owned by
a man named Boucher, who took
them first to Hallowell and then out
into the country toward Manchester,
where it is understood that they Sc
cured some cider.
On their return to Augusta Il is
said that they stopped in front of the
North and that Mr.. Wilson on find
ing that he had only the 800 bill
with him, was going up into the hotel
to get the bill changed. but that Craig
asked to be allowed to take the bill
and get it changed at the Augusta
House, and this arrangement was
finally agreed to. That was the las
that was seen of Craig for the time
being, likewise the 800 bill.
Craig came back to Augusta YES
terday morning wearing the Cana
clan uniform and told the police
yesterday morning that he had on
, listed a month ago in the 18th Cana
dian Battery and that his coming
home yesterday was due to the fact
ne had been granted a furlough. It
is possible that the man may be ar
/ raigned today before the municipal
court, as Mr.. Wilson has been located
in the vicinity of Belfast and can
reach home in season to have the
hearing this forenoon. Craig was
brought into court Thursday morning
but was not arraigned and the hear
ing was continued until today.
One victim of a thirst was before
the court yesterday morning and on
being found guilty was given a SEN
tence Of 80 days in Jail, but the SEN
tence was however suspended.

Start Tomorrow
 and Keep It Up Every Morning
Get In the habit of drinking glass of hot water before
 breakfast.

We're not here long, so let's make our stay agreeable. Let us live well, eat well. digest we'll work well, sleep well, and look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul tongue, nasty breath acid stomach, can, instead. feel as fresh as daisy by opening the sluices of the system each m morning and flushing out the whole or the internal poisonous stag nant matter.
 Everyone. whether aiIing. sick or we'll should, each morning, before breakfast. drink glass of real hot water with a teaSpOonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous days indigestible waste. sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire aHmentary canal before putting more food into the stomach The action Of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in viz orating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a qquarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of inside bathing before break fast.

I. William s. Coming, chairman of the transportation committee of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, was the principal speaker and was honored with appointment to the executive committee.

New York city was represented by proxy. MT. Coming traced the development of the return load system in this state from it's in ceDtiOn last October to the present date, explaining in detail the efficient operation of the Return Load Bu- re8us
 It was agreed that general trans pOrtatiOn conditions in New England are in an unsatisfactory condition due largely to the war. To improve trans DOrtallon facilities, the use of motor trucks for carrying return loads in- stead of travelling empty, was urged both on the score of patriotism and economy.
 we are going to have truck lines from here to California before the war is over," declared Major Louis M. tIlman, of New Haven, chairman of the transformation committee of the New Haven War Bureau. Con- +o have more embargoes than former ly. We might as well get at tue mat ter noW.'

This committee was instructed to arrange for a meet | ing with the highway and autom bile ] commissioners of Massa chusetts, Rhode Island and the Boston Cham Der of Commerce.
 ! RESOLUTIONS were aOOpIcO dllO tnS 1 scope of the organizations activities l embodied in the following words: l "ResolNed: That ii be and is now 1 declared the purpose and policy of 1 this Highway Transport league of l Southern New England that all man. l ufacturing, commercial and other in- 1 terests directly affected by transport i tatiOn facilities shall he encouraged 1 and assisted to cooper ate in every | reasonable way for the intelligent and ! economical use of highways and mo-
 tor trucks for freight transportation
 with the idea always in mind that the ! waste space in automobile trucks
 shall be eliminated far as possible
 by it's utilization in cooperative
 transportation.
 While the league will organize the
 return load plan throughout south
 ern New England and New York, the
 actual working organization will he
 separately maintained by each state.
