BILLARD RESICNS FROM NEW HAVEN BOARD Aiso Leaves Directorate of New England Navigation Company. New Haven, Conn., Aug. 1.—The resignation of John L. Billard of Meriden from the directorate of the New York, New Hayen and Hartford railroad and the New England Navi- gation company, was announced here yesterday. The announcement Wwas made in a statement issued by Homer 8. Cummings of Stamford, counsel for Mr. Billard, after a consultation with Mr. Billard. The statement says: “Mr. Billard today sent in his resig- nation as a member of the board of directors of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad company and of the New England Navigation | company. If Mr. Billard had con- sulted his personal desires he would | have 'sent in his resignation several months ago, as it has been his de- gire for some time to be relieved as far as possible of business cares. Importunities of Friends, “He refrained from sending in his resignation because of ‘the impor- | tunities of friends ayd his associates, and because it did not seem desirable to take any step which might change the status of affairs while the Inter- state commerce commission was inves- tigating the financial transactions of the New York, New Haven and Hart- | ford Railroad company. “In view of the fact, however, that that investigation has been completed and a formal report filed, Mr. Billard now feels free to submit his resigna tion. It is only fair to say that there is an additional reason for filing his resignation. Might Embarrass Associates, ““The report of the Interstate com- merce commission deals in_part with the relations between the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company and the Billard company. A committee of the directors of the railroad has been appointed to inves- tigate and report further upon the Billard company affairs, so far as the railroad company may be interested in them. Mr. Billard feels that his continued presence on the board of directors might possibly .be embar- rassing to his associates in conduct- ing their investigation and it is his wish that such investigation should be as full , as complete and unlimited in scope as the most exacting could require. Under these circumstances it will be manifest that the action taken by Mr. Billard was dictated by the strictest sense of propriety.” CONTINUE REASSURING PLAN. Immediate Completion of Federal Re- serve Board Assured. Washington, Aug. 1.—Immediate completion of the federal reserve board and passage by the house of a senate bill removing certain restric- tions upon the issue of a senate bill removing certain restrictions upon the issue of emergency curremcy by na- tional banks were features in the ad- ministration’s plans today to reassure | the country against financial disturb- ance during unrest in Europe.

Paris, Aug, 1.—Jean Leon Jaures, the noted socialist leader, was assas- sinated last night while dining in 2 small restaurant near the Bourse. The assassin_was arrested, but refused to disclose his identity. Later he was identified as Raoul Villain, twenty- nine years of age and said to be the son of a clerk in the civil court at Rheims. The minister of the interior, Louis Malvy, on hearing of the crime, leit the meeting of the council and order- ed precautions to be taken to prevent demonstrations. Seated at Table. M. Jaures was seated at a dinner table near an open window, facing the Rue Montmatre, chatting witn several soclalist deputies and the edi- tors of L'Humanite. As though by pre-arrangement, the curtain cover- ing the window was lightly brushed aside and a hand holding a revolver was thrust through, Before M. Jaures could make a move he received two bullets in the back of the head. Without uttering even an exclamation he fell forward and expired with his head on the table, Shots Startle Diners. The reports oi the shots startled the diners and passersby and the assas- sin was seized. In his pocket was an- other loaded revolver. The police rescued him from the crowd which shouted: ‘“Assassin!” “Death to the { Bodwell land company, Belvidere and | ! ibility of the place. i sidewarks, SPLENDID LAYOUT OF BELVIDERE Best Building Lots in Town for Cut through the middle by Stanley | street, which has good pavement, elec- tric lights, and a double row of trees flanking each side, the land of the Belvidere Manor. extends from Allen street to Francis: street comprising one hundred and fifty acres of the best building lots in the town of New Britain. The most marked feature aside from the splendid nature of the soil and the generally satisfactory location of the land itself is the access- A twenty minute trolley service from the center leads directly through it, and the center i¢ only eight minutes away, Belvidere and Belvidere Manor which three years ago were farms, now hoast of four miles of cement at least . thirty houses, and streets going in all directions lined with young and growing trees, set out by the land company. Nearly all the land is restricted, and the re- | strictions are so high that none but| desirable residents are assured, while at the same time they are not so high that they cannot be maintained. Courteous and considerate treat- ment of its customers is always the alm of the Bodwell land company. Most of the land is sold on'an asy pay- ment basis, but never are the terms of the contract so strictly enforced that a man through sickness and want of employment forfeits a home on which he has made payments. They believe that their best advertisement is the satisfled customer who tells his friends of square treatment. A num- assassin!” The body of the noted deputy was placed in a city conveyance, which, surrounded by weeping comrades and friends, proceeded through the streets to his home, followed by a detach- ment of republican guards. There were shouts of “Viva Jaures” by some in the crowd and similar shouts and a demonstration in front of the of- fice of L'Humanite, and in the boule- vards when the news became general- ly known. It is reported that the assassin first telephoned to the restaurant which was a favorite dining place of M. to ascertain if he was there. Noted Socialist Leader. Jean Leon Juares had been the ac- knowledged leader of the French So- cialists for the last fifteen years. As statesman, journallst, debater and or- ator, he had given his splendid abili- ties to their cause without stint, and no favor of office or profit could win him from them. He dreamed of | peace to come through economic freedom and built his hope upon a knowledge and undaunted spirit that lifted him in the thoughts of his con- temporaries, even those who were bit- terly opposed to his programme. Chancellor von Buelow, denying ' Jaures the privilege of speaking In Berlin, found an excuse in the temper of German Socialists rather than in | the ideas of the French leader. speaking as the foe of mili- tarism, hurled into the face of Ger- many the threat that if she sought to make France a hostage in the event of war with England there would leap forth a resistance un- equalled in the history of the world, ber of men, for the four seasons that have passed since the company began to sell land in- Belvidere, have re- turned each year and bought another lot, testifying thus their belief that the treatment they receive and the land they buy are both satisfactory.—advt. | OLOSES ITS DOORS. National Penny Bank of London Sus- pends Business for a Time. Aug. 1.—The National Penny Bank, an institution with many branches where small deposits are re- ceived, was closed today. In announcing their decision to close the doors the directors said that owing to the serious financial situa- tion at home and abroad, which has caused all stock exchange securities to suffer enormous depreciations so that they cannot be easily realized upon, and because of the further dif- ficulty in obtaining gold coins, the di- rectors feel compelled in the interest of depositors to suspend business for a time.

London, Aug. l.—American tourists | in England gave up their | sightseeing trips today and flocked to | Cockspur street where the headquar- entirely the trans-Atlantic steamship | are situated, to try and ages home. The companies’ offices were crowded from an early hour and the clerks worked at high speed issuing tickets and making to earlier steamers for those transportation on vessels or who had early in September. The one and only object of the | | American travelers appeared to be to get home as soon Want to Visit Ho: The crowd of tourists was augment- | ed by many American and Canadian | residents who owing to the disloca- tion of business, were desirous of tak- their possible. es. homes. The Cunard, the White Star and other British and Dutch lines did an immense business, accepting many passengers who had intended to sail Hamburg-American liners, all of which had been definitely withdrawn from the service. The withdrawal of LaProvence of the French Trans-At- | lantic line. also provided a lot of cus- tomers for the s still doing busines Maximum Rates Charged. Maximum rates were charged gers paid high premiums for tickets to those who had them, but preferred taking the profit in the hope of get- ting home later at a lower rate. The French .Trans-Atlantic line and the North German Lloyd still accept- | to- | day but most of the would-be passen- | ed bookings for their steamers gers seemed to prefer British vessels. The Hamburg-American and other German companies have ordsred their vessels in all parts of the *<orld to seek neutral ports and if the crisis continues shipping soon will be en- tirely dislocated. Returns to Rome. The Cunard liner Mauretania, sail- | ing today from Liverpool, has a full complement of passengers. As the ordinary homeward rush to America had not begun when her sailing was announced, she was able to provide accommodation for many who had in- tended to sail on the Imperator. Thomas Nelson Page, American ambassador to Italy, who had booked passage on the Imperator, decided to- day to return to Rome in view of the critical situation. EVANS VS. STANDISH.
