OWNS ENTIRE VILLAGE

Owing to Impaired Health, c. N.
Ans Now Seeks to Relieve Him.
self of Burden Of Honor.

Colchester, Conn.-Owning an entire
village and reigning supreme as the
boss of the hamlet has lost its charms
| for G. NJ. Ans Of Mount Vernon, n.
Y, principally because of impaired
| health, and he is soon to relieve him
self of the burden of that honor.
In December, 1912, Mr.. Ans became
sole proprietor Of the then Village of
| Turnerville, lying between Whitman
tic and Middletown on the Air Line
division of the New Haven railroad
and a few miles from Colchester.
The attractive feature of the village
! is its wonderful water power. At the
top of hill overlooking it is a lake
mile and a quarter square, fed by
hidden springs which never fail, and
the water can be led down so as to
produce between 800 and 1000 horse
| power.
The first man to perceive the value
| of this lake was the one for whom
| the place was originally named-P.
w. Turner, who started the silk indus
try there. He employed over 200 men
and erected about fifty tenements for
their accommodation. When Mr.. Turn
er died, in 1903, his son and widow at
! tempted to carry on the business, but
with only fair success.
| In 1909 the whole property, includ-
ing four factories, the lake, the vii
lage store and hotel and over 1000
acres of land, was sold to J. Eisten-
sen & Co. and David Brown, who OPP
Grated walking cane and silk factories
in New York and New Jersey. They
moved their factories to Turnerville,
but suffered reverses Fires destroyed
two of the four buildings, and Of the
two remaining at the time Of Mr..
Ans advent one was being run as a
| cane factory and the other was idle.
When Mr.. Ans took possession of
the village he got legislative permits
! sion to change its name to "Amston."
Taking up his residence in the old
Turner homestead, he set to work to
develop and beautify the site and its
! surroundings. One of his first bene-
factions was bird sanctuary, where
the habits OF wild birds were studied
by Prof. Herbert K Job, one of the
specialists at the State Agricultural
college at Storrs. The old hotel was
replaced by a modern inn, and i'm
provements were made all along the
line.

OF XII KLUx KLAN
(Ry Associated Press>

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 12.-Several 80
calibre steel jacketed bullets and the
trail Of footsteps that ended at the
road were all county police had to
start on today on their inquiry into
what they characterized as an evident
attempt last night to assassinate Mrs.
Elizabeth Tyler, head of the woman's
department of the Ku Klux Khan.
Five shots we're fred into the bed
room window of Mrs. Tylers home
here, she reported to police headquar-
tiers and while the window glass was
smashed the bullets whizzed over her
head as she leaned over the bed of
her daughter, Miss Doris Tyler who
was i'll.
The bullets we're found embedded in
the walls of the room. A mysterious
telephone call was received by the
Atlanta Constitution within an hour
after the shooting and a mans voice
said II just want to say that we got
Mrs. Tyler tonight and we will get
Col. Simmons tomorrow"
w. j. Simmons, Imperial Wizard OF
the Khan, is in Washington attending
hearings by which the house rules
committee expects to decide whether
to recommend congressional investi-
cation of the Khan.
Assalant Disappoints
Miss Aliff Benton of Macon, Ga, and
Miss Ethel Duncan, Atlanta, a school
mate of Mrs. Tyler, were the only
other persons in the house at the time
of the shooting, il was said, and the
assailant disappeared apparently get
ting into an automobile on the road
The house is situated on Howell
Mill road in a sparsely settled neigh
borhood and since the public agitation
over the Khan a guard has been on
duty at night but recently his services
were dispensed with in the early part
of the evening and he went on duty
at midnight. The shooting took place
about $50 p. m.
Mrs. Tyler told police she had no
suspicion of who might have fired the
shots and added that she had not re-
quested guard but that members of
the Khan had acted on their own initia-
tive in that matter.
She had no personal enemies she
said, and she declared that while pos
sibly it was the work of enemies of
the order that she could not conceive
of the type of human being who would
do such thing"
