 Disappears

keene, N. H., Aug 1 P1The case against Charles H. Capen, Ches- terheld farm hand, charged with at tempted murder, was left in a curi- ous situation today by the sudden and nasty departure, destination un- known, of Pearl Rawson, the farmer who accused Capen of putting poi son in his coffee. Rawson left with his wife and children a few hours ahead of summons to give bond as material witnesses in Capen's trial next month.
 County authorities found the Rawson farm in disorder Attempts to trace the family's movements led to J. NJ. Cobb of Brattleboro, who said Rawson laid a s400 mortgage on his home July IS and a second mortgage for 5000 last Monday Cobb held the mortgages.
 Capen was arrested after State Chemist Charles D. Howard found the coffee contained ''lethal dose' of an insect poison. The state charged that Capen purchased the poison in Brattleboro but two drug clerks failed to identify him at his arraignment in municipal court. Mrs. Rawson admitted her husband had complained of Capen's frequent visits but denied that her relation ship with the farmland was any thing more than ordinary friendship.
 Capen is held in jail here without bond.

Late Governor, Former Chief Justice Himself, Realized Danger of Ignoring Three Day Constitutional Provi- sion on Signature.
Precedent" Cited in His Regime Falls on Discov- ery-Exact Number of Statutes Hit by McCoOk Case Still Uncertain- Checkup Under Way.

Hartford, Aug. 1 P>-The late Simeon E. Baldwin, last democratic governor of Connecticut, today stands cleared of responsibility for the late signing of five legislative acts in 1913 which are included among those needing validity at the special session of the general as- sembly on Tuesday.
 Scrutiny of these acts made to- day shows that on each bill Gov ernor Baldwin made a notation in his own handwriting so as to leave no doubt they were signed by him within three days after presentation n to him as required by the constitu- ton. Governor Baldwin, who became chief executive Of the state after re- tiring as chief justice of the su- preme court, has been charged m certain republican quarters with starting d precedent Of delayed signing followed by his republican successors, beginning with Marcus II. Holcomb and continuing through the administration of Governors Everett J. Lake, Charles A. Templeton and John H, Trumbull.
 Case Considered Precedent
 Because MT. Baldwin had been chief justice of the supreme court and was considered an authority on constitutional law. it was argued if he approved bills later than the prescribed three-day period aftar adjournment of the legislature hs precedent that could be followed by others.
 It is now clearly indicated that Governor Baldwin was fully aware of the significance that might be attached to his late signing of the five bills. Therefore, study of these bills discloses, not only did ne sign them in the original no later than one day after they were pre- sented to him, but he attached a notation to each document showing the date each bill came to him an the date they were signed by him.
 The 1913 session of the general assembly adjourned on June 4. The five bills, therefore, should have reached him in time for signing within three days after adjourn ment. However they were not presented to him for at least six days
 Gives Signature Date
 His notations show that a bill in- cooperating the New Haven Mort gage Company came to him on June 10, 1913 and was signed by him on

Albany, N, Y. Aug. i P>-Albany entered upon the second day of its water famine today caused by a break in the water main with city officials promising normal conditions within a few hours.
 With the exception of very small portion of the city lying at the foot of Capitol Hill and only a few feet above the surface of tht Hudson river, the drought was com plete. The fire hazard caused great anxiety. as. in the event of a con- f&gration, there was no water avail able to fight the flames
 Hospitals Face Trouble
 In addition to the inconvenience to nearly every resident of the city, and in some cases downright suffer ing, the hospitals were confronted with a very serious situation. Water for drinking purposes had to be brought from outside the city. There was no water available for bathing the patients or for sterilizing the in struments of the surgeons.
 The work of restoring the water supply was handicapped by a series of accidents. When the break was discovered in the principal main an attempt was made to divert the water through another main which was used for emergency purposes.
