The arrest was made at the request of Joseph Faurot, inspector of detec- tives and famous the world over as a modern “Sherlock Holmes.” The first' knowledge the local police had that Deglimardio was hiding in this city was when a telegram was received from Faurot at 5:24 o’clock yesterday afternoon ‘asking that he be taken into custody and'held. The telegram stated that he was wanted for grand larceny and had been in- dicted on a bench warrant.

At 1 o'clock this morning Officers Hellberg, ‘Wagner, Quinn, C. Johnson and Burke were sent to the address and Deglimardio was placed under arrest without any struggle. Captain Grace questioned the ac- cused at headquarters and obtained a confession of guilt, it is said by the police. Deglimardio is said to have admitted stealing from his nephew and said the money is in New York city. He also said he was willing to g0 back to New York without extra- dition papers and make restitution. | After Déglimardio had been locked up, Captain Grace searched his satch- e} and found $298.20 wrapped in an old vest. The police received a telegram this morning $from Inspector Faurot thanking them for making the arrest and stating that a detective from New York would start for this city at the earliest possible mofnent. + Deglimardio was brought into po- lice ‘court and pleaded not guilty to being a’fugitive from justice.

Increase Demanded to Meet Cost of Steel Cars and Heav- ler Locomotives—Higher Wages Also Taken Into Consideration, 9 Washington, April —President last witness to be heard today be- the interstate commerce commis- sfl‘n on behalf of the eastern rail- roAds, asking for an increase in fr8ight rates. Oral testimony for the reads was concluded with his state- int. &h&_'.:!a,,r\}{nrlan and Commission- es Clark and Mewer were on the zfih today. Dr. Du 3 Austro- ingarian ambassador and his suest, Pince Munster of Derneburg, were inerested auditors. Many Expense Items. [J. T. Wallis, general superintendent | a motive power of the Pennsylvania, | iterrogated by Clifford Thorne, ex- | mained that steel cars and heavier | lcomotives had induced an increase | il Tepair cost, while higher wages had ! :ded materially to that, item of ex- | nse. - | 3. 8. Rodgers, general superintend- @t of the Pennsylvania, testified that fharges to operating expenses on | fie Pennsylvania system east of Pitts- | furg were $24,855,624 in 1910, and £9,411,210 In 1913—an increase of 3 per cent.” He said expenses for aintenance of way during 1913 were uch greater than ever before. He dwelt particularly upon the cost safety appliances, demanded both law and by public sentiment. Retrenchment Is” Necessary. President Rea said emphatically, a carefully prepared statement, at not only the Pennsylvania, but American railroads, were con- onted with the necessity of |re- lenchment, which might prove seri- to Mr. Rea’s conclusions, which he in. cated, applied concretely to the ennsylvapia and generally to all her roads, were these: ‘gin of surplusis 3~ ARt t receiving any return either on the [dditional capital invested, or for the lue of the.service rendered and the ictlities provided, for public use. *2—Had there been no surplus in rlier years, and had the whole of e improvements been paid for out | capital, the margin would now ave reached the vanishing point. “3—If surplus steadily decreases, provements, if made at all, will #ore and more need to be made out 4f new capital. “4—But if the margin of safety de- itreases, new. capital will only be faised with great difficulty, |4 “6—Indeed it 1is questionable ¥hether, if new capital is to con- finue to earn no income, the direc- iors will be justified in attempting to raise more than a modicum of what they believe necessary, as the effect must be to reduce the percentage ‘return on the shareholders’ capital al- ready invested.” ‘Will Hurry Proceedings. It was planned to conclude hearings onight if possible. The commission urposes, however, to expedite final isposition of the case in every way and to that end has determined to hold continuous hearings until all the evidence is submitted. Interest in the question was height- ened today because.of the possibility of an early decision by the commis- sion on the proposal of the carriers ‘that they be permitted to make a five per cent. increase in their rates and by the announcement of Senator La- Follette that he would speak in the senate today on his bill to make un- lawful any attempt to influence pro- ceedings before the commission except in accordance with that body’s regu- lations. it i} CATCH ELEGANT TROUT.

That he believes his wife, Mrs. Hilma Anderson, became dizzy and fell into the Shetucket river Satur- day, and did not committ suicide as is the popular theory, is the sense of a statement given a Herald rep- resentative this morning by Harold Anderson of Kensington. “There was no reason whatever why my wife should take her own life,” said the distracted husband. “No trouble ever separated us and we have always been happy together with our children.” Mr. Anderson says he has been in- formed that his wife, while return- ing to her mother's home in Baltic from that of her sister, was seen to 8o down to a bridge spanning the river, Later she was seen standing on the stone foundation, he says, and in the opinion of her relatives be- came dizzy while standing there and fell into the stream, which is now being dragged for her body. As there is no fence at this point, some Baltic authorities are inclined to give credence to Mr. Anderson’s version. QUIGLEY HAS HS HAMMER OUT FOR CITY OFFCALS City Hall for Eight Years.
