Winsted Man Must Pay
FOr,His Children Here

Fred Fancher of Winsted was or
dered to pay his wife OF this city $11
4 week towards the support of three
small children when arrsigned before
Judge William c. Hungerford in po-
lice court this morning on a charge
of non-support. Mrs. Fancher, who
lives at 1912 East street, testified that
she had not received money from her
husband in several weeks and she
asked that he be- ordered to pay
enough to support the three youngest
of six children. Fancher said he
would not be able to pay more than
$3.50 week but Judge Hungerford
ordered him to pay s11 and fixed a
bond at $3.50.

of peace and assault charge, was dis
charged by the Judge after she had
been cautioned to keep peace in the
neighborhood where she lives on
Hartford avenue and not start any
more trouble.

with reckless. driving and operating a
motor vehicle without a license, was
continued until September H. Miss

UNWARY AMERICAN
SEAMAN STRANDED
Many Sailors Sign on Foreign Ships
For One Way Cruise-Face
Starvation Abroad

Havre, France, Aug. 22.-Unwary
American seamen who carelessly or
ignorantly sign faulty articles of en-
ployment on foreign vessels are find
ing themselves stranded here without
any early hope of getting back nome.
In many cases jobless and penniess
sailors have been arrested as vaga-
bonds and thrown into French .ails
and, according to their stories, the
same danger threatens them in a
number of other foreign ports.
There has lately been a disposition,
the sailors say, among foreign steam
ship lines operating between Europe
and American ports to bring Ameri-
can seamen to Europe and drop them,
either through false representation or
misunderstanding on the part of the
men when signing the articles. In
some instances the men are careless
and sign in casual way, hardly
knowing or caring what they do. Some
sign for a port thinking it means a
round trip, and then find themselves
stranded on foreign SOIL
Finding they have no means to re-
turn to America, many of them appeal
to the American consulates. But MOTH
ing can be done for them except in
cases of men holding seamen's cards
in the American Merchant Marine.
The Y. M. c. A. at Havre has help
ed out a number of men, but the APP
peals have become so numerous re-
Gently that the association has reach
ed the limit of it's funds for such pur-
poses.

ARE TO RAISE FLEET
SUNK AT SCAPA FLOW
British Admiralty Sign Contract With
Salvagers Giving Over Scuttled
German Fleet

London, Aug. 22.-The German fleet
scuttled at Scapa Flow in June, 1919
is to be raised, cut up and sold for
junk. The admiralty has signed a
contract with private company
which has purchased part of the
sunken ships and will start operations
at once to raise them.
The company is said already to have
found a market for the hulks. If the
operations are successful a contract
will be signed for the remaining sec
ton, which includes the largest of tho
ships.
The vessels sunk comprise ten bat
tleships, five battle cruisers and TWEEN
ty-nine destroyers, their total tonnage
being about 416, 900. The contract al
ready agreed to covers twenty destroy
ers and one of the battle cruisers.
The vessels were sunk by their
crews opening all the seacocks and
flooding the ships. This will, how
ever, make the work of the salvers
much easier as it is planted to shut
the cocks and pump the water from
the holds.

Peters MADE NO
STRUGGLE, 1T IS Said
State Trooper Tells Of UndiSturb-
ed Film Of Mud on Shoes

New York, Aug. 22.-The testimony
of Eugene E. Roberts, a lieutenant of
state police, before the Extraordinary
Grand Jury that indicted Walter s,
Ward for first degree murder in the
killing OF Clarence g. Peters was made
public yesterday by Rabenold &
Scribner of 81 Broadway, of counsel
for the accused man.
The famous cablegrams passing be-
tween George S. Ward, father of the
accused, and members of the Ward
family purporting to have revealed
a blackmail plot, and all other states
exhibits are not a part of the Grand
Jury minutes turned over to Wards
lawyer after a legal battle with the
Attorney General. The minutes do not
show the contents of the cables but
are simply entered as exhibits for
to trial on September 4. 1t would only
be a matter of courtesy on the part of
the Attorney General to allow Wards
counsel a glimpse of the exhibits, as
the state is entitled to withhold them.
he/minutes will show that there
was abundance of evidence before the
Extraordinary Grand Jury to warrant
the indictment charging Ward with
murder in the first degree" said
Thomas j. O'Neill, Special Attorney
General.
Under questioning of WILDER w.
Chamberlain, Deputy Attorney Cen
eral, before the Grand Jury, Lieut..
Roberts said that he did not believe
there had been scuffle between
Ward and Peters on the night of the
shooting, near the Kensico Reservoir.
Il think the man was shot right
down in his tracks," said Lieut. Rob-
erts. II always maintained that, At
the bottom of his shoes was film of
mud and the print of his heel as if he
had been standing. 1t was not
scratched at all. called the atten-
ton of the coroner to it. also to De-
tective Cherigo and to all the troop
ers to the fact that a perfect film of
mud was there, just as though he
had reeled back from the knock

Variance in Testimony.
1t has been the contention OF the
authorities that Peters was shot in
some other place than where his body
was found and carried in an automo-
bile to the roadside within few feet
of the spot. Ward has said that
Peters was in a Stutz car with two
companions near the place when he
shot him after being fired at a num-
