MILLERS RELEASED
 IN BONDS OF $1,Oo0
Alleged Rum Smugglers at Liberty on Liberty Bonds-More Raids
 in New Haven.

New Haven, July 26.-Captain Joseph H Miller and the inland pilot who gave the name of Carl Miller of the shipping sloop Jennie T, which was used in landing liquor Saturday were bailed out today, a $1 ,OOO Liberty bond being. deposited for each. This bail was given for the men on the city court complaint.
 The police arrested August P. Wirt, of State street, a former cigar dealer, and charged him with being one of the men who escaped from the officers who intercepted the liquor smuggling at Lighthouse Point, early Saturday morning. This arrest created much in- terest because it had been stated that the police officers on their way to the Point saw an automobile filled with New Haven men, who, at the time the police thought were fleeing from the landing place. The police have not stated the ground on which Wirt was arrested.
 The bail for Captain Miller was pro- vided by an attorney acting for another person and that for Carl Miller was given by Deputy Sheriff McNerney, who furnishes many bonds.
 In court Pearl A. Sperry, Jr, arrest ed with Braxton Mesick in raid last night at his home, was given con tinuance until Thursday. Later the, were before U. S. Commissioner wht held them for the federal court.

 The following letter was received by Mayor Curtis from Manager Sloper: price of gas and electricity. If you will look back over the records, you will see that this company has all ways voluntarily made reductions just as fast as conditions would war rant. At no time have we advanced the price unless driven by absolute necessity.
 "It has been the intention of the management to propose to the di- rectors a reduction. in the price o1 gas of twenty cents per thousand cubic feet; this reduction to take place after the reading of the meters in September.
