m uolng ninety days. P, J. NJ.
 Clarence Sullivan says it should be pronounced "Iristocracy," because "arrah" is Irish.
 Jim Girdner reports that where he was visiting in Oklahoma the hotels used double barreled shotguns to call the guests to meals. They shoot one barrel when the meal is ready, reserv- ing the other barrel to collect with.
 Jim had queer experience in Kan sas City. He was sitting in res taurant. There was~ nice looking young lady sitting at the table, and a big dish of horseradish in the center of the table.
 Perhaps Jim was admiring the young lady. Anyway, he mistook the horseradish for ice cream, pulled it to him and took big spoonful. The tears began to run.
 What's the matter?" asked the young lady. Jim replied: "I was thinking about brother of mine, who was hung the other day. Won't you have this ice cream ?" and he passed her the dish.
 Looking at him with interest, the young lady took a heaping teaspoon full of the horseradish. Then she too, began to weep.
 What's the matter; crying because my brother was hung?" asked Jim.
 "No, I'm crying because they didn- n't hang you at the same time," she snorted.
 A. J. Sullivan and Lew Benedict had a pretty warm argument the other day over the age-old question whether the fowl that lays the eggs or the one that matches them is the mother. Ap- parently Sully won the debate and set tied the question for all time.
 Lew said if he went to the store and got dozen eggs and took them home and set them, the hen that matched them would be the mother. "If she had not matched them they never would have been born," he declared.
 "No, sir" said Sully. q say the hen that matched them was only a wet nurse, and the one that laid them was the mother. Say, for instance, I go and buy dozen duck eggs, and I get a hen to hatch them. Now, is that hen the mother of those ducks? I'll say she aip't. Did you ever see hen lay ducks?"
 Prof. o. H. Richardson hands this in as an up-to-date translation of | Mary had a little lamb, ,",etc.:
 "A charming and bewitching young creature, delighting in the rare and [ suphonous appellation of Mary, was of a dimunitive quadruped ,f the genus lambkin, whose capillary was as white as congealed moisture.

Wells Warns
 Pear Thieves

W. F. Wells does not think that hcertain young men who took a fancy ouite so anxious in future to come around to his home at 62 George istreet late at night to sample the fruit of his trees For several nlsnts lin Succession the intruders, three in number. tried to take advantage of rhe bright moonlight to see what the pears tasted like. but each time some lining scared them away before they had gotten what they were after. On t1he third night Wells surprised the .trespassers just as they had started ,perations, and he happened to nave Ia gun with him. He took few shots .at the ground, and the unwelcome visitors ran
 In case the scare administered was not sufficient warning, Wells wishes to let the world and his nocturnal guests know that he owns conSid- erable quantity of buckshot and that he knows how to aim. Next time he won't shoot at the ground.

Jolo, P. T., Aug. 22-A petition signed by practically all the Datos, or chiefs. of the Su1u Archipelago, near ly two hundred of them, asking com plete United States sovereignty and protesting against the Filipino gov ernment has been presented to the Wood-Forbes mission of inquiry here.
 The petition protests against plac- ing Filipino officials over the Moros of the Sulu Archipelago and con cludes:
 we deem it unjust to permit Fili- oinos to attempt any longer to govern the Mohammedan and Pagan in habftantS of this region and we pro test and object to their governing territory which does not belong to them, never has belonged to them and that against the often expressed will of it's inhabitants.
 we request that a government administered by Americans wherein all legislative, executive and judicial positions other than minor local posi- tions would be filled by Americans be established for the Mohammedan and Pagan territory in the southern Philippines, embracing the islands of Mindanao, Sulu Archipelago, Pala- wan and that such government be in dependent of legislative control by the Philippine government and sub ject only to the government of the United States"

 Ten Years Of Misrule and Abuse

Denouncing the Republican party for what he termed ten years of mis- rule and abuse, making the big issue of the coming mayora1ty campaign the funotioning of the tax office, ac- cusing the Republican administration of near criminality," Democratic Town Chairman John A. Cornell in a forcefuI speech at the big Demo cratic 'fgettogether'' meeting yester- day sounded the call to members Of his party to start on a, victory drive with the election next November as the end in view.

First Accident On New Road;
 No atalities
nSpecial to The Times.

Especial to The Times.)
 Bedding, Aug. 22-David R. Hues- ted, a Yale sophomore and grandson of the late Senator James W. Hues- ted, long prominent in New York state politics, was the central figure in sensational auto smash which occurred last Friday afternoon on the Putnam Park section of the trunk highway just below the Bethe1-Red- ding line. Driving Buick car Huested had as his companion John Brooks, college classmate and grand son of John G. Stetson, a Bedding summer resident and manager of the New York firm of Arnold, Constab ble & Go. The pair had motored from Peekskin, N- Y, and in the lower part of Bethel Huested became seized with an impulse of speed mania which caused him to hit up a pace of from 50 to 60 miles an hour Just south of the Bethel line he veered to avoid a truck and in another second crash ed against the car of Contractor Frank Valerie. The latter was going slowly and realizing that there was no escape from the impending co1li- sion, gave himself up for lost.
 The violent impact caused both cars perform eccentric gyrations and partially wrecked them, but strangely enough none of their occupants was

Washington, Waterbury. owners of the truck that crashed into one of the city ambulances on Main street on January 8, last, brings to mind the accident, in which the ambulance driver, Parick J. Cornell, was quite seriously injured, and the ambulance partially demolished.
 The men from Waterbury are nam ed as the owners of the truck, and are blamed with careless and reck- less operation in the complaint filed in Superior court today. The peculiar part of the papers on file is that the action is being brought by Attorney Edward Garfield Burke, Deep River, Conn., rather than by City Attorney W. H. Comley.

The men who are still at large to- day are Theodore DeAndre of Bridge port, sentenced at the May term of Superior criminal court to a year. for seduction; Frank w. Linds1ey, serv- ing nine months for automobile thiev- ing, having been sent up from Stam- ford and Clarence Mitchell, doing six months, having been sent up from the Bridgeport City court, being an habit ual law breaker.
 Of the three men. Lindsey is the most sought after today. After sery- ing his sentence here he was to be turned over to either the authorities of Spr1ngf1eld, Mass, or the Federal ohc1alS, for he was a much wanted
 man because of his alleged connec- tlon with a string of automobile thefts.
 The men were seen by a guard a short time before breakfast Vixen the prisoners were given their morn ing meal, the three vacant seats at the table were noted. A search was immediately instituted, and the es- cape discovered. A piece Of iron and part Of an old saw found in -DeAn- dre's cell, taken with the general de pertinent of the men, all of whom worked together in the leather shop at the Jail, has led the county au- thor7ties, including Sheriff Simeon Pease, to believe that it was DeAn- dre who was the brains of the gang. and who planned the getaway
 He was an office worker, and con- sidered a bright man, and no doubt led the other jail breakers, who. it is thought, manufa cured a key with the crude tools and then unlocked the door necessary to release them from the corridor.
 The progress of the men was traced through the jail building to point where a high dormer window was broken, giving them access to the roof From this vantage point it is plain that the men slid down the roof, going from higher sections of the North avenue structure to the lower portions, finally reaching the ground at the north of the building, so far removed from the street that they were not noted by early church goerS.

NoChange In His Parish
 Says Priest

f1t is an absolute untr,1th that I am to be transferred to any other parish or that my parish is to un- dergo any changes, said Rev. Matthew J. Traynor, pastor of St. Marys church when interviewed today by a Times reporter.
 The priest emphatica11y denied all reports made through local publica- tions that he was to be transferred to the new parish which will soon be started in the West End or that St. Mary's parish, one of the oldest in Bridgeport, was soon to be turned over to the foreign-speaking people of the East Side.
 My parish is one of the finest in the city and there is no reason for any change. We are out of debt and have much money in the bank. While there are a number of foreign speaking people in our church we still have just as many American parish foners-
 eff the charge of the new parish was offered to me doubt very much that I would accept said Father Traynor.
 When asked what he thought was the motive for the false rumor Father Traynor said that he thought it was done as a joke or through some per sons unreliable presumption.
 Many people have already doubted the reports as the Bishop of the dio- cese seldom makes an appointment until after all plans for the parish have been completed and not gener- ally until after church has been started.

Exchange lists
 Firm Failure

New York, Aug. 22-The failure of Trippe and company was announced today on the New York Stock Ex- change.
 The failure occasioned considerable surprise, as the firm, while organized in its present form a year ago had been prominent as a commission house for ten years and there had been no intimation of embarrass- ment. In some quarters the failure was attributed to the inability of cus- toners to meet obligations and to the shrinkage in the last six months of values of many securities held by the firm as collateral. Albert W. Put nam, member of another stock ex- change firm, was appointed receiver.
 The firm took it's name from Charles W. Trippe who died Q year ago. It had been active in motor and tire shares.
 Within the last year four stock ex- change firms have failed. One was recently reinstated as a member of the exchange having discharged its obligations.

Judge Banks this morning granted a temporary injunction against Will liam J. Mccarthy, restraining him from further operations in the gaso- line and oil business with a concern known as the D. & C., Oil Company, 4S0 Lindley street and 63 Knowlton avenue.
 The injunction was sought by the Tidewater Oil Sales Corporation, 150 Bostwick avenue, it being alleged that part of the terms of a recent business transaction between the plaintiffs and the defendant in the action was that Mccarthy was to refrain from any competition in the same line of buSi- ness for a period of three years, it being claimed that he has violated the wording of the agreement.
