CHARGES TEUTON NAVAL ATTACHE (Continued From First Page.) York hands and that soon after Capr. Boy-Ed came to him and told him that the money was to be spent un- der his (Boy-Ed's) direction. We shall show that $500,000 to $600,000 of this money was sent to San Fran- cisco where it was spent to charter and supply three ships with coal and provisions, and that these ships sailed out and met the German crui- ser Leipzig, and perhaps the Dres- den. “‘One hundred and thirty-five thou- sand dollars of this money, we shall show, was spent for the purchase out- right of one of these three vessels, aad all of the $750,000 was spent un- der Capt. Boy-Ed's personal direc~ tion and instructions. Many Ships Used. ‘“Sixteen or seventeen ships were used,” Mr. Wood continued, ‘“by the defendants to carry coal, water, wine, sauerkraut and other needed supplies to the Leipzig, Dresden, Cap Trafalgar, Eba, Santa Lucia, Eleanor Woremer, and other German men-of-war. These stgamers all carried supercargoes placed aboard by the defendants, each supercargo bearing sealed instructions which were opened after the vessel steamed away, sometimes within the three mile limit. “The defendant Kotter, we shall show, signed letters which the super- cargoes carried and these letters ad- dressed to the captains of the steamers selected to supply German warships, ifistructed the captains to obey the supercargoes and promised them lib- eral gratuities for doing so. Captains Met Ships. “We shall show that after these vessels sailed for Buenos Aire: LaGuayra, Cadiz, Monrovia and other destinations, the supercargoes in- stFucted the captains to go elsewhere and that the captains obeying these instryctions took their vessels to meet German warships at sea and to deliver to the warships the supplies aboard. ‘““We shall show that these de- fendants conspired, at various meet- ings, to do all these things; that in so doing they rode roughshod over the laws and treaties of the United States as contemptuously as if those laws and treaties had been mere scraps of paper.” Mr. Wood’s address lasted less than forty minutes. Witness Missing. At the opening of court today it became known that an important ‘witness for the government had left the United States a week ago ara is dow in Bermuda. Roger R. Wood, the assistant dis- trict attorney in charge of the pros- ecution’ said the man knew he would jbe wanted to testify at the trial; he hought a subpoena had been served, fbut was not certain. Word that the ‘witness had left the country was re- celved only today when his son came here from Philadelphia in his father's place. No reason for the witness’ trip to Bermuda could be learned. The jury box.was filled within an lhour after today’s session opened and the jurors were accepted by both sides and sworn. ‘Withdraw Admission. Immediately after this William JRand, Jr., of counsel for the de- ‘ense, notified Assistant District At- torfey Wood that the defense would iwithdraw that part of the previous admission pertaining to the alleged onnection of Capt. K. Boy-Ed, Ger- juan naval attache, with the acts | harged by the government. This part of the admission made by the | defendants stated that Capt. Boy-Ed ad been consulted regarding the enging of steamships with supplies o German sea raiders, and that the vork had been carried on largely un- der his direction. No reason for withdrawing the admission was given. | © vi d sl it E t. FORM CIVIC LEAGUE. ragamar School Pupils Have Pro- gram for Season. A civic league has been formed | y Principal W. C.

To be sure there were theatrical at- tractions and some sporting diversions which were well attended by the sporting - element. Polo was the thing then and New Britain was rep- resented by a good team. Meriden was the real rival. In the afternoon there was a game in the old rink on Hanover street with the Silver City five and a return game in the State Armory on Arch street in the evening. Twenty-five years ago, New Britain rossessed but one theater, the old New Britain Opera House, now Keeney’s theater. The Opera House 7 . e 54 a Century Ago { was dark Thanksgiving but the night before “Paul Kauvar” with E. J. BEuckley in the title role was the stellar attraction. The Herald then &s now, did not publish Thanksgiving, but the next day chronicled the cvents of the holiday with consider- able space given to church services. The weather was ideal and until noon the streets were crowded. In the af- ternoon, the Herald reporter chroni- cled, Main street was deserted and Chief Morgan and Officer Tatum spent a lonesome afternoon, only find- ing one drunk and he was bound for Meriden and the policeman didn’t at- | tempt to stop him.

STYLE AND HOW TO GET IT ‘We get things in this world in just that proportion that we desire them, be it love, money, knowledge, repu- tation or style. But don't confuse a wish with a de- sire—a wigh is the echo of a regret— but to desire a thing is to go out in the world and get it. If you like style, if you really want it, if you are genuinely keen about it, Katten's is where you can get it, Whether you want a Suit or a Coat or a Dress or all is secondary to the fact that it must be H. O. P. if you really want style. And that goes whether you pay $14.95 or $35.00, for style is the com- mon and uncommon attitude of every H. O. P- garment regardless of price considerations. H. O. P. Suits, $14.95 to $50.00. H. O. P. Coats, $7-50 to $150.00. H. O. P. Dresses, $7.45 to $35.00. H. O. P. Waists, 95c to $7-45.
