HE'S GOING YET
Waiter in Main Street Restaurant Is Having Trouble Dodging His Wife :; Now Headed for 'SOmeWflere'

stacey Barrett, a waiter in a Main street restaurant, rushed into the lunch room last night, collected his wages and in excited tones informed the "boss" that he was going to buy a ticket and keep travelling until his money ran out. Asked as to the cause of his great hurry, Stacey re- piled that his wife, with whom he has not been living for some time and whose home is in New Hamp- shire, had heard of his whereabouts and was on her way to New Britain for him.
 It appears that Barrett who is an eX-solder, had some domestic diff culty which caused him to leave his wife and come to Connecticut Hear ing that the State of Massa achusetts was about to pay a bonus of $7O lo each ex-Service man, he wrote to the officials there for his share He thinks that his wife learned of his present location through that agency, but does not intend to take the chance of being ''caught" again.

Springfield, Mass, Girl Admits She Loved Convict But Not After
 Confession of Murder.

The tiancee of Luman C. Beck ett, confessed slayer of Charles A. Taft in this city on the night of March 1, 1917, has been located in the per son of Miss Susan Warneke Of 53
 Revere straet, Springfield, Mass. This fact was disclosed in the in vesIigatiOn of the state police in which a letter, written to the warden in the Wipdsor prison regarding Beckett had been answered by the clerk of the prison.
 The girl has turned over a number of letters written by Beckett, in which the confessed murderer. ex- soldier and convict, made endearing pleas of love to her. She readily admitted she cared for Beckett until news of his confession as mur- derer had been made known.
 The letter written by the girls mother to Beckett, was noted by the prison officials and the clerk of the infstitution penned a letter to the woman warning her against allow ing her daughter to fall into the snare of Beckett. The Warnel1e girl has told of her first meeting with Beckett and his pal Bundy instrum ental through a Miss Alma Baker, a chum of the Warneke girl

VILLA NOT A PRISONER
Reported Capture of Mexican Bandit By His Own Troops is Officially De nied.

Fl Paso, Dec. 5.-FranciSco Villa, the Chihuahua rebel leader, who was reported yesterday as being a prison CT of his own men, who, the report said were negotiating for his surren der to the Carranzista garrison at Parral, is still at large and there is no reason to believe that he is in any present danger of falling into the hands of the CGrranza SOVernm ent.
 The announcement that the report of Villas capture was untrue was made this afternoon by Andreas G. Garcia the Mexican consul general in I1 Paso. MT. Garcia said that the denial of the authenticity of the re- port was officially communicated to him both by the military and civil authorities at .Parral
 T am very sorry,'' said the Consul General. but Villa has not been captured as rcpOrted.'
 The report that Nillistas ambushed last Friday a Carranza regiment and massacred a large number of the sol diers persists in Chihuahua. An American business man arriving there today said that he was told that the report was true by Carranza officers.

SANS |. $. WANTS WEST INDIES. Canadian Warns That Annexation
 Movement Is In Progress.

Montreal, Dec 4.-Political annex ation of the British West Indies, as well as business control Of the islands, was laid down as the aim of the United States in an address before the Montreal Board of Trade today by T. E. MacAulley, president of the Canadian West Indian society. Mr. MacAulley said he had strong req son to believe that American interests were at work in Jamaica to influence public opinion in favor of union with the United States.
 ATr. McAulley argued that Canada and the West Indies, by exchanging their respective products of the tenl- perate and sub-tropical zones, could avoid the adverse balance of trade necessitated by outside buying, and that the islands offered an attractive field for development by Canadian pOt prDrlSC.

MAYOR EXPLAINS HIS
 STORY OF LYNCHING
Letter Mailed to Pastor of Negro Church COrrccts Interview
 Published.

In explanation of a printed story to the effect that Mayor Quig'ley had wit messed the lynching of negro in tho south and allusions to indicate that the city's chief executive was not heartily opposed to such laWlessnesS Rev. G. H. stanton, pastor of the A. M. F. Zion church. has offered a letter written him by Mayor Quigley.
 The letter follows:
 A M. Fl. Zion Church.
 Church Street, City. Dear Sir
 l am writing you regarding the arti- Gle Which appeared in the New Brit ain Herald Tuesday evening of this week in which I am quoted as express ing myself in rather forcible terms upon the negra question and to which you have seen fit to reply.
 Permit me to say, in justice to my self, that I was not correctly quoted in the article in Tuesday evenings S Herald
 In the first place l did not tell the reporter that I had seen a negro lynched. I told him that a man on the train had told me that a negro had been lynched that day in a town we were then passing through and that the negro's body was hanging for some time from a telegraph pole near the railroad tracks. l did not see the lynching, neither did I see the body.
 The reporter asked me regarding the negro of the south and I told him I thought the southerner understood the negro much better than the north erner.
 As to my belief in lynchings. permit me to observe that I have always been opposed to capital punishment and therefore I certainly would not en- dorse the illegal execution of black or white
 I regret more than I can express in this letter the publishing of such gar bled interviews, as they only work in~ jury and often do serious wrong to both races.
 Very truly yours.
