NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1914 Here’s a Live Wire! Mrs. Knowland’s Boosting Husband for U. S. Senate CONGRESSMAN San Francisco, July 18.—Since the election of United States senators has been put into the direct hands of the voters all over the country it is prob- ably sure that other women will follow the example of Mrs. Joseph K. Knowland, wife of Congressman Knowland of Alameda. Mrs. Know- land is getting right out among the workers, drumming up votes for her husband, who is & candidate for the republican nomination for the Unitea States senate. PARENT 1§ AFTER WINGS" FRANCHISE Says He Wil Have Conlreacs Wih George Cameron, the Owner. New Haven, July 18.—It has been learned from an authoritative source that Freddy Parent, the former New Haven shortstop, but now with the Baltimore club of the Inter- national league, is in the field to buy the New Haven baseball franchise and will ;shortly open negotiations with Owner George M. Cameron who is in a Chicago hospital recovering from a series of operations for stom- ach trouble. The disposition of a number of players by Owner Jack Dunn of the Baltimore club has started Parent wondering where he is to land if the selling of Orioles continues, and as he is anxious to get out of the active end of baseball and settle down at the head of some club he is casting longing glances at the local franchise. Parent admitted that he did not know what Cameron was asking for the club and that he hadn’t looked over the proposition lately to have enough information to talk regular business yet, but he would have this in a day or two and then would ap- proach Cameron. Some time ago it was reported that Cameron would take $15,000 for the franchise and give a lease of his ball park for five years at $1,200 a year. Several baseball men said at the time it was reported that J. Harmar Bron- son wanted James Canavan to buy the club and run it, that the franchise was worth $8,000, but latterly and at the time! the club was going poorly, baseball men thought $6,000 would be a fair price. Bronson has given up the buying the club. Canavan wouldn't buy it, he says, unless he could get srounds away from the shore, as he thinks the Rock is hoodooed and Bill Hanna hasn’t been heard from since making an offer a couple of years ago. idea of BURNS WHIPS BRANDT.

Bill Hamilton, recently deposed as manager of the Springfield club, has landed as manager of the Greenfield, Mass., team in the Twin-State league. Outfielder Parker, with the Pitts- field and New Britain clubs earlier in the year, has been recalled by Man- ager Zeller of the Electrics from the Perth Amboy team of the Atlan- tic league and will join the Electrics at once. Emondson, last year's Waterbury first baseman and outfielder, who was drafted by the Cleveland and later sent to the Texas league, is going along in great style for' the Beaumont club. His batting average is .311 and he leads the league in ex- tra base hits. He has poled out a total of 51 extra sack clouts. In run getting he is second, with 70 tallies to his credit. Springfield has recalled Shortstop Herman Young from Albany of the New York state league. The Ponies sold the player with the understand- ing that a certain amount would be paid by July 5 if Young made good. The Albany club is in financial diffi- culties so it couldn’t make the pay- ment.

All the players sur- rounded the belligerents, however, and the trouble was soon over.

Angle had recovered par- tially yvesterday from her breakdown of Thursday night. The plan to re- move her to a sanatorium has been abandoned for the present, but a trained nurse will remain with her until after the inquest. Until the nurse took charge Mrs. Angle had not removed any of her clothing since she was rearrested. The nurse insisted that the prisoner re- move her clothing and retire. Mrs. Angle has remained in bed since. In her delirium Mrs. Angle cried: «] want to die; I want to die! But be- fore 1 die I want to tell my daddy I am innocent.” She did not recognize her father, Leonard Blondell, who was trying to soothe her. NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH. saved By Acrobatic Stunts.

Holmeler, known as an amateur acrobat, was at work on the ninth story of a building in pro- cess of erection here yesterday when the board on which he was standing slipped and he was shot downward toward the roof over the sixth story over forty feet below, He started ~downwards, but in the course of his descent he turned a couple of somersaults which served to break his fall and he escaped with a dislocated shoulder. His acrobatic feat in the air also saved him frem striking a couple of iron projections on the way down. | broker, National Bank building. RICHTER & CO.

New York, Wall Street, July 18, 10:45 a. m.—Little change from the heaviness that has characterized most of the week's market operations was observed today's early dealings. The general trend was lower, most issues of speculative importance sell- ing under yesterday's closing quota- tions. Union Pacific preferred lost a point, with moderately large frac- tiona] recessions in New York Cen- tral, Missour!, Kansas and Texas pre- ferred Amalgamated and American Locomotive. Toledo. St. Louis and Western issues, which are threatened with default of interest on bonds, and Baltimore and Ohio preferred went to new low records. New Haven was dull and slightly higher. Among minor bonds a 21-2 point break in Wabash 4's was noteworthy. Texas and Pacific and New York, Chicago and St. Louis were other rallways to mawe low prices before downward movement halted. Midway in the session a moderate but general demand for the leaders effected an all-around recovery, with many net gains. New Haven rose two points. Bonds were irregular. Close—Selling of the minor rail- way issues was resumed at the out- set of today’s short session, with con- sequent new low records in that quarter and irregularity elsewhere. Covering of the leaders imparted a better tone in the later trading, The closing was strong. in The following quotations are fur- nished by G. Edward Graff, stock r, N.

Washington, July 18—Work of pér- fecting anti-trust legislation was going forward by the senate judiefary and interstate commerce committees Indications today wereé that several days more would be neces- sary to complete the measures. The provision of the bill as = vised in the interstate commerce com- mittee, would amend that section of the interstate trade commission bill now before the senate to make unlaw- ful “unfair competition.” Republican and democratic senators object that the bill is too general in its terms and would result in endless court action for interpretation. The proposed amendment would authorize the trade commission to des termine what constitutes unfair com- petition with authority to stop it. The commiesion’s decisions, however, would be subject to court review as to facts and laws, The committee was today consider- ing the question whether the inter. state commerce commission should be empowered under the railway secur- fties bill to determine to What use funds realized by common carriers from issues of securities had béen used.
