Thief on Second Visit Black Jacks
 .JeWeler.

Entering Q jewelry store owned by Andrew Lascowvitch, 544 East Main street, at Il o'clock this morning, a man who appeared to be about 30 years old, asked the proprietor if he might look at some cuff links. The links were brought out for inspection, and the man purchased a set and left the store
 A short time later the same man re- turned and asked Lascowvitch to show him some more jewe1ry. The JeWeler turned his back to pick up a tray Containing some rings and watches, and as did so was struck over the head by blackjack wielded by the strang
 The blow was not heavy one, and as the Jeweler turned around with the tray still in his hands, the stranger wheeled about and started to run from the store. Angry and excited Las cowvibch hurled the tray of jewelry at the fleeing man and then started in pursuit. The would-be robsber had too much of start, however, and suc- ceeded in making good his escape.
 The attempted robbery has been re- ported to the Detective bureau, and the polHce are now searching for the stranger. I4ascowvitch could give only a meagre description of the man.

 Amy mandate is impossible" MT Bryant's statement said without other preface.
 1.-The one proposed for Armenia if accepted would involve us in an enor- nous expenditure in a time when war taxation is still so grievous a. bur den that Congress has difficulty in finding the money necessary to do justice to the men who served in the world war.
 Tt would involve us in the politics of Europe and would compel us to deal with inplaeable race hatreds.
 Tt would involve us in the fierce commercial rivalry of the big nations.
 But worst of all it would compel us to surrender a vital principle of de- mocracy, namely, that all people are capable of self-government''

The Dody or the slain president arrived in Mexico City at 5:so o'clock yesterday morning and was taken to the family nome, being escorted by diplomatic corps. Later the body lay in state until the hour of the funeral, thousands passing before the caske to look upon the face of the man who was hurled from power by revo- 1ution and whose death occurred un- der circumstances that await exp1an- alton.
 Colonel Adolfo Herrero, leader of revolutionary forces, on who has been placed responsibility for the death of Carranza, had telegraphed to army authorities here that he would com init suicide rather than surrender. He declares he joined the forces of General Manuel Pelaez, after 1ecog- nizlng the plan of Agua Prieta," un- der which the revolution was con ducted, and attempted to capture the fugitive president who had fled from the battlefield at San Andres when he realized his attempt to cut his way through to the coast had been de- feated.
 In the raid on the carranza camp at T1axcadantongo, the telegram stated, 40 prisoners were captured. Some of these were later released but Il gen erals, Manuel Aguirre Berlanga, sec retary of the interior, Ygna;cio Bo- nillas, former Mexican ambassador to the United States, and Pauline F'onbes, director of the national railways, were placed on board the train that brought Carranza's body to this city, but were taken off before reaching this city.

Warn Sugar HOarders
 Of Lever Food Act
Hartford. May 25-connecticut Fair

Hartford, May 25-Connecticut Fair Price Commissioner William F. Whitmore has issued a warning to persons who hoard sugar that they are violating the law and will be call cd to account if discovered and he also warns persons who sell an ex- cess of the commodity, that they are leaving themselves open to prosecu- tion. A local case came to the at- ten ntion of the commissioner last week. wherein a man secured a quantity Of sugar to be distributed in 100 pound lots to members of the Central Co., operative Society and steps were inn mediately taken to show the person who obtained the sugar that such practice was in violation of the Lever Act The result was that not more than twenty-five pounds will be dis tributed to each member of the so- ciety.
 The commissioner further said .Several large lots of sugar have within recent months, been brought into the city by persons not regularly engaged as dealers and disposed of in 100 pound lots or more to per son. One hundred pounds of sugar is approximately five or six months supply for a small family. In times of scarcity, it is n1anifestly not for the welfare of the general public that A comparatively few families should stock up for so long period.
 ssIt has been held that a period of thirty days may be regarded as a reasonable time within the meaning of Section s of the Lever Act. Any person therefore, who purchases a quantity of sugar in excess of his reasonable requirements for thirty d,vs violates the law and becomes liable to prosecution and any dealer ubo knowingly sells such excess quantity, becomes liable to prosecu- tion as a party to the violat1on.'-
 Section 6 of the Lever Act which covers the case in question. is as fol lows: "That any person who wilfu1ly hoards any necessaries shall upor conviction thereof, be fined not ex- reeding $s,ooo or to be imprisoned
