ARRESTED
 IN NEW YORK ON SERIOUS CHARGE

Under charges of having more than the legal number of wives, Richard Lopez, formerly of 274 Capitol ave nue, is under arrest in New York where he was apprehended by Detec- tive Sergeant Bray, and will be brought back to face the courts of Connecticut. He was formerly chauffeur for Robert s. Hincks of this city and later drove jitney here. Several months ago he left his wife and children, and went to New York. Mrs. Lopez has been assisted by the Charities department and others while her husband has been away.
 Last summer Lopez, while employed by Hincks, accompanied his employer to Manchester, New Hampshire, where he met Anna Purcell. He told her he was Richard F. Thompson, made love to her, and induceh her to come to Bridgeport where they were married October 31, by Henry Waters, a jus tice of the peace. He forgot to tell his new wife he had been married 1n Chicago, August 24 1910, to Anna Coan. and had five children living III Bridgeport.
 I,opez might not have been. discov-
 
 cred in his duplicity for some time 1 had not friends of his latest wife known an aunt of his legal wife in Bennington, Vt, and his picture been sent there. It was shown to Mrs. Lopez's aunt, who sent it on to her niece to ask who the man was, who was known to the aunt as Thompson Mrs. Lopez promptly replied it was her husband Complaint to the police followed.
 Lopez was in the City Court in Jan uary last charged with taking an au- tonnobile owned by Dr. H. H. Mona han without leave At that time he made a plea for his wife and five children, sentence was suspendeo' and he was placed on probation. soon after he went to New York, but re- ported to the probation officer.

A DUTY FOR LAWYERS

A MITCHELL PALMER, cutodan of alien enemy proper
 No t has asked the 10000 lawyers not in the army report any alien property of which any of them have knowledge.
 Had this order been issued earlier the industry for the cealment of alien property might have been less thriving It is notorious that lawyers in Connecticut have unwilling to aid enemy aliens By the of devices alien property has been brought into corporate form and protected from Federal seizure How patriotic this work has been each must judge for himself.

Coulter Talk
Is Condemned

Cando, n. D., June 25.-Frank E.
Coulter speaking in Cando for the
Nonpartisan league, is charged by
The Cando Herald, which treats the
subject editormliy. with ridiculing
the Salvation Army, belittling re-
ligton, etc. The Cando Herald says:
Frank E. Coulter spoke at the
Auditorium Tuesday night under
the auspices of the Nonpartisan
league. We wish to be fair in our
judgment, and can only speak with
authority on part of the address.
Some very patriotic remarks were
made. but we question strongly the
advisability, to say the very least,
of giving the impression that our
farmer boys are being sent to
France to fight so that Big Biz may
have the opportunity to repeal the
initiative, referendum and recall
laws and so throttle the nations
government as to establish a worse
autocracy here than they have in
Prussia. Nor do we feel that it
helps the cause very much to be-.
little religion, the churches and
Salvation Army and to call the
Rockefeller foundation the founda-
ton Of hell Perhaps our opinion
Is mot called for not wanted, but
we express it in good faith, and
trust it will be so taken by our read
ers and friends, whether league
members or no"

New fve-ton armOred artillery trac-
tor hauling heavy field gun, above,
aud view of tractor.

Washington - Powerful five -ton
tractors that will haul heavy artillery
over shell-torn ground faster than
horses can move 1t, and which will
cut down the cost Of transportation
considerably, are being tested by the
U. S. government. These tanks are
built to haul the heavy guns over
ground which Is impossible fey
horses and which balks even the
mammoth fighting tanks.
If the tractors prove up to the gov
ernment's expectation 1t Is planned
to equip all American batteries above
three-inch light guns with these
tractors. A smaller type of tractor
is being worked out which will be
used to haul the "75s" or three inch
guns. The hope is to have all Am
erican artillery motor drawn as soon
as possible.
1t is pointed out that the upkeep
and fuel cost of the tractor is not
nearly SO great as that Of horses.
When the tractor isn't in use it does
not need tons Of food, as the horses
do. The trucks, being armored, are
built to withstand the enemy fire
which would incapacitate g, a whole
span of horses hauling artillery.
The tractor. will speed up greatly
the movement Of the heavy artillery
especially. The tractor can make
twelve miles an hour and keep that
pace up indefinitely, of course.
Horses tire quickly in hauling the
big guns and delays are necessary
