Elton, who was a mining epgineer, was charged with aiding the reactionaries, it being alleged that he purchased ore stolen from a “ mine confiscated by the Clarranza gov- ernment. Last September the matter was brought to the attenion of the state department and his death sen- tence was commuted to twenty years' {lprisonment. A number of years ago, while traveling in Mexico, Colonel Charles M. Jarvis was stopping in Mexico City and while conversing with sev- eral bystanders the name Waterbury was mentioned. A man standing near turned and made the remark that they had hetter be careful of what hey sald about that town. The Colonel entered into conversation with the man, who told him that he P was a native of Connecticut. It fur- | ther developed that his name was . Elton-and that he was a native of Berlin. Mr. Elton was born and brought up in the house now occu- pled by the Ventres family and at- tended the South school. Tater he attended Yale Sheffield from which he was graduated. Up to about four- f tgen vears ago Elton lived in Water- | bury and it was from that city that "he went to Mexico. Resides his wife. who lives in Waterbury. he has a sister in New Haven, Mrs. W.

RYDER DEAD; HUSBAND VERY LOW, 01d Resident Succumbs to Pnen- monia After Brief Sickness GRAND LIST SHOWS BIG GAIN Owner of Ryder's Track Not Expected to Iive—Assessors Add $180,000 to Grand List—Sent to Jail for Theft— To Imstall Officers. Mrs, Hleanor Ryder, wife of Syl- vester N. Ryder, died last night at her home on Cook street after a brief illness with pneumonia, which de- veloped from an attack of grip from which she had been suffering for the past week. Her death was entirely unexpected and was a big surprise to her friends. Until Sunday night Mrs. Ryder had been able to be around the house although she had com- plained of sickness for a number of days. Yesterday pneumonia devel- oped with such rapidity that her con- dition became critical during the aft- ernoon end she sank steadlly until night when she passed away. Mrs, Ryder's husband lies danger- ously i1l at his home and because of his advanced age his recovery is not expected. He too i suffering from pneumonia. This morning he was re- ported to be resting more comfort- ably although the attending physi- ciang do not hold out much hope for him. He has not beer advised of the death of his wife because of the ef- fect the news might have on his weakened condition. Mrs. Ryder was 72 years of age and was a native of Rockville. She was the daughter of Alonzo and Lu- cina Bailey. She leaves no children. Funeral arrangements have not as vet been completed but it is expected the services will be held Friday after- noon at her home, Grand List $2,529,581. owing an increase of $180,000 er the grand list of 1915, the valua- tion of Plainville properties as com- piled by the board of assessors {is&" given in their report at $2,529,681 The compiling of the abstract is now complete although it is subject to change by the assessors should they see fit to revise any of the figures before the time for the completion of their work expires. It is unlikely, however, that any material changes will be made as the board did its work in thorough fashion, spending & number of weeks investigating property which had been improved during the year. Th increase during the year s above normal, the addition of the Rockwell-Drake plant to the town's manufacturing establishments repre- senting a considerable part of the gain shown in the assessors’ report The company will pay taxes on $58,- 000 unless the figures of the aseessors are changed by the board of rellef. The abstract shows that the asses- sors made but few increases except in cases where Improvements have been made to property during the year. There has been an advance in the market value of Plainville property since 1915. At least property own- ers have been quoting higher prices than ever for their holdings because of the demand for real estate which attends the growth of local manufac- turing enterprises. The assessors, however, did not make a general revision of the grand list, the board believing that property here is assessed at one hundred per cent, valuation and is listed on the books on a fairly equitable basis. In this opinion the relief board has con- curred during the past few years and the genera] belief ig that similar con- ditions will prevall this yvear. The increase in the grand list is thought to make it impossible to get sufficient additional revenue from a fifteen mill tax rate to cover the ex- pense of purchasing :oting machines and the cost of patrolling the streets, two items which will be classified as extraordinary expenses inasmuch as they were not incurred in previ- ous yvears. As a result it is probable that the town meeting to be held next week will vote against making any change in the rate, Favor New Schoolhouse. )"“‘nnc the action of the special town meeting on January § will probably depend in a large measure on the rec- ommendations of the school comm: tee, sentiment seems to favor the erec- tion of a-new school house to provide more adequate accommodations for the children.p~\While the expense of such an undertaking would be con- ierable, it is patent that it will have be done in a few years, no mat- ter what temporary arrangements may be made in the meantime, and the voters apparently hold to the be- Hef that 1917 will be as good a time as any to make the improvement. More room is needed immediately, according to information given the se- lectmen, and it may be necessary to either rent a hall for one or two of the grades or purchase a new port- able building similar to thaé now used for the kindergarten. There is consideraple sentiment fa- vorable to the avpointment of a pecial committee to look into the ad- visability of acquiring land in the eastern section of the town to be used later as a site for a new schoolhouse. Heretofore the school board has been opposed to a division of the school plant. The members have no: ex- plained their attitude on the matter at this time, but it is said tha they to are not enthusiastic over the idea. The question will probably be up for general discussion at the coming meeting and steps towards a solution of the problem may be taken. Jailed For Theft. .

H. Dresser before whom he was arraigned last evéning on the charge of theft. Miller had been taken into custody by Railroad Offi- cer Charles Grace who charged him with stealing shoes from a case of goods that were in transit. Miller had been employed as truck- er at the transfer station. When the loss of the shoes was reported sus- picion pointed to Miller's guilt. Ac- cused of the theft he told the officer where the goods were hidden although he subsequently denied all knowledge of the theft. He entered a plea of not guilty when arraigned in court but the evi- dence against him was sufficiently convincing to cause Justice Dressed to impose sentence. To Install Officers. Officers of the Grange elected for the ensuing term will be installed at the regular meeting to be held this evening in the hall on Pierce street. The exercises attending the seating of the new leaders of the organization will be in charge' of Robert Andrews avd Miss Bradley of New Britain, act- ing as deputies.

Conditions under which The Asso- ciated Press correspondent recently made his acquaintance illustrate the democratic side of his character. The correspondent was calling upon ' a friend at one of the lesser hotels in Vienna when a knock at the door was heard and without further formality a tall officer entered, shook hands, shed his overcoat, which he threw on a bed, and embarked in informal con- versation. It was Poland’'s future sovereign who had thus made his way to the hotel room without even calling the services of an attendant, when he learned that a correspondent of an American news agency was there. The Archduke conversed with the greatest cordiality, displaying an in- Ytimate knowledge and keen interest concerning conditions of American Il.fe. and volunteered his assistance to facllitate the newspaperman’s work. He was particularly im: the importance of the press fca and lamented the fact th newspapers did not play such a Austria-Hungary. He volced as as manifested his belief in democrdtic customs and declared that he had de- liberately urged two of his youngest sons, who had graduated from the | Austrian Military academy the day before, to take commissions in ordi- nary line regiments instead of in one | of the favorite guard organizations.
