ROMANCE WRECKED
 BY ELOPERS' ARREST
Man, P, and Girl, IS, From Manchester, N. H.,
 in Tolls

A mere whisp of girl with child like countenance and eyes that seemed tired. sat in police court to- day and listened with an interest that might be expected from a small boy at . circus, while her sweet heart. Walter Tkacz. aged P. and Mrs. Elizabeth A. Howe, aged ~, were arraigned on charges in which she was a central figure. She twist ed a handkerchief about her fingers and frequently shook back lock oi straight, brown hair, which seemed forever getting into her eye. now al lowing a smile to break across hel little face and again taking on ar expression of wearied seriousness, as Prosecuting Attorney J. c. Wood, end Judge w. F. Mangan argued questions of fact and of law.
 Manchester. N. H., Is the home city of Tkacz and the girl, who is IS years old. They wanted to ge, married but she suggested the grand thrill and experience of elopement. and together they arrived in New Britain last Wednesday afternoon Going to a rooming house at 2s Church street, they interviewed Mrs Howe and after a conversation and an inspection of the only room left vacant, they rented it for one week at the price of $4.
 Mrs. Howe, who was arrested yes- terday on the charge of violation of the statute relating to harboring fe- males for immoral purposes, testi- fled that Tkacz told her he had been in Bristol for week seeking em- ployment, and when she told him that employment was scarce in New Britain and "his wife" might be bet ter able to find it than he would be, neither the young man nor the girl corrected her. and she assumed they were married. Quoting ner prices to them. she mentioned $3.50 per week for single party and &5 for a married couple, and again they did not tell her they were not married. They had q handbag containing ar- ticles of clothing. and she did not suspect that they were not man and wife, she said. In consideration of the young mans story about lack of employment, Mrs. Howe agreed to rent the room for $4 instead of $.
 Tkacz. who was charged with im- proper conduct. to which he plead ed guilty, testified that Mrs. Howe did not ask him whether he and the girl were married. nor did he tell her that they were or were not. He said they discussed a kitchen cite with Mrs. Howe but she told him she had only rooms. while an- other woman in the same building had . htchenette. The girl gave

RIFLE SIGHTS WILL
 STEER AUTOMOBILE
Major segrave Will Race Over Daytona Sands 200
 Miles m Hour

London. Eng. Oct. 22 R-When Major H. o. D. segrave goes hurt ling over the sands of Daytona Beach, Florida, in the near future, at 8 speed of we'll over 200 miles an hour, he will steer his car by rife sights. This is one of the fea- lures of his new car, in which he hopes to attain a speed of 24o miles an hour. perhaps more.
 '. Steering at so enormous . speed h of inestimable difficulty. The slightest error when the car is go- ing at four miles minute would plunge 1t into the sea and mean disaster.
 Major segrave will try to obviate this difficulty by steering the car with sights just like a rife, and di- rect 1t just as bullet is directed to it's target.
 The apparatus on the car consists of telescopic sights. These will be trained on . bull's-eye target hang ing from two goal posts, z6 feet hPhA !. AACAV VIII O0 0hVthCI RAAA Vl goal posts, similarly equipped. one mile away.
 Major Segrave will train his tights on the first of these targets when he is a distance of 1 1-2 miles away, and then start. AS he hurtles under the first target suspended over the start of the timed distance he will pick up the second target and steer directly for it.
 Tt is quite impossible to steer accurately by ordinary objects, p Major Segrave said in Daily Mail interview. ''The flags marking the course are merely one blurred line. The timing posts are too far away to be visible at the start. and when you get near to them they simply jump at you. This new method of steering should be of enormous as- sistance to me in my attempt"
 Between each pair of posts will be an electrical timing strip. lying flat on the sand. The ordinary stop watch being much too inaccurate for such speeds, . special electrical timing device must be useds

 They must be some degenerated cousins of the mosquitoes of my home town" ruminated Number Two The mosquitoes in my home town have such big bills that the natives kill the mosquitoes, and use their bills for nails"
 Well. you fellows win. We haven't any mosquitoes where l come from said Number Three, but I have heard my grandfather tell about the big ones we used to have ID there. They were real mosquitoes, but they were all killed off I bunch of Sportsmen came up there on a hunting trip and killed the last one. Yes, sir . those hunters thought they were wild turkeys
