AUTO GONCERN T0 OPEN SHOP HERE “Charter 0ak” Automobile Will Be Made in New Britain | MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY Dircctors Decide to Locate in Old Trade School Building—Chamber of Commerce Instrumental in Bringing Plant to This City, New Britain is again to take its ! place among the automobile manufac- turing cities, when the Eastern Motors company will commence operations !in the vacant factory formerly occu- pied by the State Trade school on | Stanley street, assembling what is said to be the finest and most complete automobile on the market. The com- pany which has recently incorporated, | is listed with a capital of $1,000,000 | and among the directarate are men who are well known for their business ability. The bringing of the new con- cern to this city is the result of hard work covering several months on the part of the Chamber of Commerce. | Gaining information in September | that the company was soon to be or- zanized, the chamber at once sought | out the officials with the view of in- teresting them in the excellent facili- | ties that the trade school property afforded, and as a result of many meetings between the local officlals and those of the company, in which the plant was very carefully looked aver, H. Tipper, Allen Sheldon and Mr. Turk of New York, arrived in this city this morning and met with the officials of the American Hardware Corporation this afternoon to sign.the lease. TLast Word in Autos. The Charter Oak automobile, which is the name of the new car, is said by the officials to be the last word in the i auto world, covering every phase of manufacture. It is believed by its producers to be the only fully equipped car on the market, and one that will meet with approval with owners of high grade cars. Itstprice will be about $4,000. It has been the hopes of the company officials that the car | would be ready for exhibition pur- poses at the auto show in New York, | but late developments have practically | made this impossible, The local concern will be in charge of F. mobile manufacturer well throughout New England, and time prominently identified with the Pope Manufacturing company of Hartford an later with the Columbia and Overland concerns. Mr. Law will be the mechanical ‘engineer and de- signer, and wili be assisted in con- | ducting the factory by Mr. Turk, who | will act in an important business capacity. Mr. Law is the inventor of the first dangler engine in this coun- try. known at ona To Be Rumming Jan. 1. The concern will afford to local skilled mechanics excellent' positions, but at the present time the officials are unable to state how many em- ployes will be necessary. Additional | buildings will probably be built in the | near future. Operations will be com- menced at.the factory as soon as the machinery and parts arrive, orders for these having been placed . some time ago. It is expected that the concern will be running by January 1. The local concern will be simply an assembling place for the machines, the parts being made at various other places. It is estimated that over 500 cars will be assembled and ready for delivery every year. The officers and directors of the Eastern Motors company are as fol- lows: President, Willis D. Upson of | Waterbury; treasurer, Silas B. Hull of Meriden; secretary, L. S, Hubbard of Bridgeport; John R. Hall of Mer- jden, W. H. Pomeroy of Stamford. Fred B. Reid of Hartford and Allen Sheldon of Hartford. The securing of the company by | the Chamber of Commerce is the sec- ond manufacturing concern to move to this city within the. past year which speaks well for activity on part of the organization in its efforts to puild up New Britain with suitable factories. Spirited competition was lindulged in from active parties in other cities, who tendered to the of- ficials tempting offers. However, with the advantageous site ready for oc- cupancy, and the record of the other manufacturing concerns in the city, it was deemed advisible to locate here. DIET SQUAD REPORT.

Hartford, Dec. 1.—After a search of twelve years, through Philadelphia, the mountains of Pennsylvania, Chi- cago and portions of Connecticut, Mrs. Florence Padmore, of this city, has found her daughter, Dorothy, now a high school girl in New Haven and to- | day, at a special sion of the su- perior court in this city, Judge Joseph P. Tuttle ordered a writ of habeas corpus issued directing Eli J. Brick- ley and Hattie Brickley, husband and | wife, of No. 1337 State street, New Haven, to produce Dorothy Padmore at the superior court in Hartford, Tuesday, Dec. 5, at 10:30 a. m., and show cause why the custody of the girl should not be turned over to the | | mother. The petition for the writ was presented to Judge Tuttle by Benedict M. Holden, Mrs. Padmore’s attorney, and the papers were given to Depu- | ty Sheriff |Pierre McNerney of New Haven to serve. Daughter Absent Twelve Years. Mrs. Padmore, said today she had not seen Dorothy since she was spir- ited away from her in Philadelphia a dozen years ago, but she feels certain that her long search will be rewarded | by the return of her daughter, though the girl, who is fifteen years old, does not know her real mother and has probably formed an affection for the Brickleys whose name she now uses. The facts as obtained from Mrs. Pad- more are Dorothy was born in Pittsburgh, 4, 1901, a daughter of Charles G., and Florence Padmore. In 1903 the Pad- mores lived in Philadelphia, where | Mr. Padmore was retoucher for a photographic concern. Mrs. Padmore went on a visit to her mother who was | ill and because she did mot return at | once, Mr. Padmore wrote her that she | need not return at all, and he sold out | i the Thousehold furr gs. When Pamore went ‘back to Philadel- . she did not live with her hus- She worked in a department store for $6 a week and supported | herself and daughter. Through a | friend she learned of Mr. Brickley, ! who w 1 express man in Philadel- | phia and also conducted a milk station | in his office. The Brickleys had children and took little Dorothy to board, Mrs. Padmore paying $1.50 a week for her at the time. Finally when her funds got ve: low the Brickleys said she need not mind about the payments. Mrs. Padmore visited her baby every night, but one | night twelve years ago when she went to the house she found the Brickleys had moved and she could get no trace of them. Adoption Petition Denied. The anxious mother took every means of locating her daughter. She appealed to the poli to detective agencies and to a Philadelphia news- paper which published her story. About two years afterwards she ceived indirect word from the Bri leys that they claimed Dorothy under an agreement signed in 1903 by Mrs. | Padmore consenting to adoption. Mrs. Padmore said today, she never signed an agreement of adoption, but d«d n a paper that she would be ro- sponsible for the child and would see that its father left it alone. Tt is| learned that a petition for adoption | was filed in Pennsylvania, bpt was denied because it did not bedr the parents’ signatures.

String, taken from a package | brought in from a nearby restaurant was first used. Later he removed the laces from his shoes, tied them to- gether and then fashioned one end | into a noose. The other was securely ' tied to one of the bars in the cell. | Neither proved effective. Police vigi- lance prevented further attempts. Following court adjournment, Bag- dasarian appeared morose especially after Mrs. Bielor left from in front of his cell, and began to mutter and talk incoherently. His conduct attracted attention and House Officer A. C. Malone investigated. He found the prisoner prone on the floor of the cell. A part of the string was around his | neck. The rest dangled from a bar | overhead. It had proved of insufficient | strength to do any damage, excepting | to cause slight lacerations of a super- ficial nature. Hardly had officer Malone left than ! Bagdasarian again got busy and was engaged in_making an _improvised noose of the laces when Malone again paid a visit to the cell. The laces were taken away. The suicide seeker had. been previously relieved of sus penders, necktie and other articles of clothing that might be used in an at- tempt at self destruction. Last night Mrs. Bielor called upon Chief Rawlings, showed him the card a Worcester attorney and asked that charges against the accused be withdrawn. She said that he had paid back the money he is alleged to have stolen. She was informed that it is a question for the court to de- | cide and reminded her of the several | months that she has hcen a frequent visitor to police headguarters urging that the wanted man be located and ! ! arrestea, The poiice regard her concern in Bagdasarian as peculiar as this is the second time that he has been ar- rested upon her complaint and the second time that she has tried to get him free. She is said to have been once located in New Britain a clairvoyant. SAFE ORACKING EXPERIMENT New Haven Safe Concern Broken In- to—Robbers Thought to Have Been Inquisitive. New Haven, Dec. 1.—The police are investigating an unusual break said to have occurred Wednesday night, when the store of the C. A. Ockert Safc company was entered and a big new empty safe pried open. When robbers left they took with them only tools which could be used in opening a safe. The authorities believe the visit may have been in the nature of research work, the robbers de- siring to examine the combination of the safe in preparation for an at- tempt at robbery in some other place where a similar safe is installed, An- other theory advanced was that the robbers’ mistook the empty safe for that used by the Ockert company.
