AUTO DEATHS LOWER
september Sees e2 Killed In Massa- cbusetts This Year Compared With 75 in 1923.

Boston, Oct. "A marked de- crease in the number of fatal auto mobile accidents in Massachusetts for the month of September as com- pared with the corresponding month last year is noted in report made public today by Frank A. Goodwin, registrar of motor vehicles,
 "Notwithstanding an increased registration of approximately 1o4,- GOO cars, there were only 62 killed in the state this year as compared with 75 last year." the report said. But for the unfortunate accident at Fort Point channel which claimed five lines. and the one at the rail- road crossing in Fall River in which three were killed, the record would have been truly remarkable.
 The registrar gave credit for increased activity of police depart ments in enforcing the law and to the intensive campaign against bad headlights and breaks. During the month 1865 licenses and registra- tions were suspended and revoked as compared with 1894 for Septcm- her, 1923.

MURDERER CAUGHT
 THROUGH LOCAL z AID
New Britain Police Win Thanks From Pennsyl-
 yania for Clever Work

Arrested in Meadville, Pa, on in. formation supplied by the New Brit ain police department, Biagino Spar. taco is in jail in Pittsburgh today charged with murder.
 The arrest of the alleged murderer involves an interesting story of de- tectiye ability and cleverness. On September 29 Chief Hart received telegram from Robert II. Brown, chief county detective in Pitts burgh, stating that a man named Biagino Spartaco who had com mitted a murder was thought to be headed towards New Britain.
 The local police imm mediately got into action, learned that he had come to this city and married a young girl who was considerably under age, then left again leaving no address. By further investiga- ton. the New Britain police suc- ceeded in ascertaining the fact that the man. under the name of James Sonnie, was living at Meadyille, Pa. His name and address were sent to the Pittsburgh police, who got into touch with the Meadville police, which is town near Philadelphia and close to the Maryland border line, and the fugitive was arrested
 Chief Hart today received a mes- sage from Detective Brown thank ing him and the local force for the information, which he said was cor rect even to the mans alias and house number of Meadville and congratulating the local detective bureau on it's clever work.
 spartaco had been fugitive since February, 1923. He was arrested at Meadville, Thursday, according to the telegram received today.

SAYS BROOKLYN OUGHT ID PLAY WASHINGTON
Ban Johnson Refuses to Even Witness World
 Series
By The Associated Press.

Chicago. Oct. 4,-Aloof and dis.
 approving, President Ban Johnson of the American league, today took
 no official part in the series to de- eide the baseball title of the world
 He refused even to witness the New
 York Giants ,as representatives of the National league, compete with Washington, which, he said won it's championship honestly"
 Brooklyn should have been se. lected to represent the National league and the Giants should have been disqualified because of the in- tolerable condition that has per meated the club" was his persist ent stand
 T have no desire to take any thing away from Washington, which won it's championship honestly. but I have no desire to see the Giants engage the Senator's" he said Tt is my opinion that others of the Philadelphia players in addition to Heinie Sand were approached in an effort to have games thrown"
 Despite the fact that his demand that federal inquiry be instituted to clear baseball of alleged crookedness and his criticism of the conduct of the O'Copnell-Dolan bribery scandal investigation had met with unani- nous disapproyal among the base ball heads the major league chieftain did not depart from his position.
 He last night made public a hitherto secret affidavit relating that crookedness was attemuted in the first world series ever played. in 1903, when Lou Criger. Boston Red SoX catcher engaging the Pirates, was offered st2.000 to throw games.
 The attempted bribe was made by ! professional gambler named An derson, Criger said in the affidavit who was introduced to him by Will hert Robinson. pilot of the Brooklyn Nationals and John J. McGraw, of the New York Giants. Criger refused the proposal and told of 1t to President Johnson in Feb ruary. 1923, when he was starting for the west with what was thought a fatal illness.

New Hartford, Conn, Oct. f. -- Peoples Forest, a memorial, pur- chase of which was made possible by voluntary subscription, & unit in the system of parks which the state is providing for its citizens, was formally dedicated today.
 Situated on the banks of the Pennington river, the forest Is the area of woodland to which the h. dians clung as a reservation until lived until encroaching settlements broughtabo ut their disappearance For natural beauty and scenic charm the Peoples forest is prob ably uneXcelled in the state.

 Pageant on Program.
 The formal taking over of the forest today and it's dedication to public use was accompanied by a pageant Illustrating a story of the history of the region, the selling of the land by the Indians to whites, the removal of the last bit of virgin forest by the settlers and then the scene of today when the recent own CTS turned the land over to the state.
 The pageant was given in an am phitheater with the timber covered ridges as a background and the Pennington river and tall pines on the lowIands of either side as the wings in the setting. Mrs. Helen Hartley Jenkins, of Norfolk, was the patroness, and the Winsted histori- cal society provided most of the costumes. The boy and girl scouts and camp fire organizations com posed most of the members of the scenes while the chief figures were selected from among the young folks of Winsted and other places. Elliott Bronson, Sr., of Winsted, lumber man. lent his collection of Indian costumes for use of those who took the part of reds.
 Many In Attendance.
 The Litchfield county fire wardens associa ton held it's anual meeting in the forest during the morning and foresters from all over the state at tended. Dean Graves of the Yale 1 forest schoo& and Austin F. Hawes | the state forester. were among the l speakers. Greenwoods chapter of i the Daughters of the American 1 served a basket lunch | to the visitors.
