POCKETS FILLED WITHPAWN CHECKS

Richard T. o'Brien, of $40 Benham avenue, was arrested in New Haven last night charged with breach of the peace. When searched by the New Haven authorities it was found that he possessed a large number of pawn tickets for valuable jewelry. He could give no satisfactory reason for having the tickets in his possession and the Bridgeport police were noti- fled with the result that O'Brien was brought here this morning.
 When questioned by Detective Cap tain E. o. Cronan, O'Brien said that the tickets were for jewelry which was given to him by Mrs. Harry Ward, who commissioned him to pawn the valuables in order to raise a large sum of money for her. He was merely holding the tickets.
 Captain Cronin is holding the pris- oner pending an investigation of his story. According to the New Haven police O'Brien was engaged in a free for all fight with some other men when arrested, and it was not until he was searched at the station house and the large number of pawn tickets found on his person, that the New Haven police became suspicious that their prisoner might be a much want ed man.

VON PAPEN'S PAPERS PROVE THE
 FALSTTY OF GERMAN CLAIM THAT WAR WAS FORGED UPON THE EMPIRE
Five Months Before War He Was Asked for Information Regarding Best Means of Blowing Up Trains ''In Event of European War; Newspaper Reports Had Accounts From Mexico

Washington, April 25 - Repeated declarations of the German emperor, and Hindenburg and Ludendorff, that the war was forced on Germany, and assertions from the same sources that Germany was taken by surprise by the Russian mobilization, attaches particular interest to certain papers taken from Capt. von -Papen, late military attache in Washington.
 Among the papers which have been published by the British government in a white book appears a letter from R. von Wild of the German war min istry in Berlin, to Capt. von Papen, seeking information regarding the best means of blowing up railroad trains ''in the event of a European war" The significant point is that this letter was written March 12, 1914, about five months before the outbreak of war. This letter says:
 According to newspaper reports several railroad trains were blown up by revolutionists during the troubles in Mexico. In order to form an opin- ion whether in the event of a Euro pean war, explosions of this kind would have to be reckoned with, it is requested that if possible, information should be obtained as to how these attacks have been carried out. Were mines and explosives placed on lines which were little guarded, or were the attacks carried out on the train by ig- hitting charge of dynamite, or by the employment of internal machines"
 Capt. Won Papen, replying from Mexico, where it is now known he was industriously planting the seed. of German propaganda and establish.

 HIT BY AUTO TRUCK

Pauline Novak, 2 years of age, re- siding at 627 Hallet street, was struck by an auto truck, No. 2196 and driven by William Murphy, of SIT Brook street, while she was attempt ling to cross the road at Arctic and Hallet street, last evening shortly be- fore o'clock.
 Fortunately Murphy was able to avoid hitting thel title one directly, by turning his machine sharply toward the curb, but while not seri- ously injured Pauline, sustained sus- tained painful laceration over the left eye.
 The Emergency hospital was imme- diately notified and the ambulance was soon on the scene. Dr. B. c. Pasuth. dressed the wound and had the child removed to her home.

JITNEURS FAVOR NEW ROUTES IN
 CITY'S CENTER

That there is quite a lot of inter- nal strife in the Jitney Drivers asso- citation was evident today when large percentage of the machines which were ordered to suspend business on the State street and Barnum avenue route, were running with the business as usual" sign up.
 According to a statement issued by Captain Wheeler, in charge of the traffic squad. the jitneurs, for the most part, are in favor of the rerouting of the lines, since he personally conduct ed them over the routes and explained the situation to them He said that the jitney men agreed with him and showed the greatest spirit of fairness.
 "Of course" said Captain Wheeler. there are lot of malcontents among the jitney men, who do not want to submit to any regulation. The conn petition among them is so keen that they very often will not go the full length of their route if they see a few nickels laying around half ways along their route.
 "All this talk about the Conner- ticut company bounding them is tom myrot. Any fair minded or intelli- gent jitneur will agree with me ir saying that the only way the Con- necticut company can harm the jitney men is by competition. Now the street cars are charging six cent fares they run on tracks which are only laid in certain sections. They can not go off those tracks. A man who lives some distance from his work will naturally patronize the convey ance which is easiest to reach and which conveys him to and from his home many minutes faster than the street cars.
 ''Now it is absolutely foolish fol anyone to talk about the Connecticut company seeking 60 put the jitne5 men out of business under those con ditions, for the street car people can not possibly injure the jitney men un' less they decide to run jitney busse: themselves.
 Another thing I wish to call tht attention of the public to is the fac that the jitney owners and drivers il Bridgeport have never in the pas been put under proper control, and i is only the fly by night and radica element among them that object tt fair supervision at the present time
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-04-25

ing connections for Germany to use in the event that she should war upon the United States, did not regard the operations of the Mexican revolutions aries as of any particular value. Four months later, he wrote from Mexico City:
 I am convinced from personal evil dence that all the recent cases of destruction of railroad lines by ex- plosion were brought about by bury Ing dynamite under the line itself and then igniting it by an electric current as soon as the train had reached the appointed place. I consider it out of the question that explosions pre- pared in this way would have to be reckoned with in an European war They are only possible on lines that are lily guarded which, as in this country, often pass for miles through revolutionary districts and have no protection other than a pilot train X xx. Internal machines, so far as I know, have never been employed' ''
 Another letter from Won Papen from the manager of the Potsdam branch of the Disconto Gezellschaf, bears this postscript:
 "P. S. We have never before seen such preparations for war as are be- ing made at present. German gov ernment stocks fell today one per cent.
 ''Kind regards.

HOLD LYNCH FOR
 DRAFT BOARDS

John J. Lynch was arrested today by the military squad of the Bridge port police and held for the federal authorities charged with failing to register. Lynch claims that he reg istered in Waterbury, although his home is in Bangor, Me. He declares that he filled out his questionnaire and was examined, being placed iR class 1G.
 Assistant Superintendent of Police Charles H. Suckley, is doubtful of the mans statements and has ordered him held until the local boards in Waterbury and Bangor, Me, have been communicated with.
