Bolling, a brother-in-law of the presi- dent, is a partner, was to be sounded to the bottom, it was indicated. The telegram was dispatched from E. F. Hutton & company to {ts score of cor- respondents throughout the country more than:ten hours before the note was released for publication. Bolling’s firm of A. Connolly company is one of these correspondents. ‘Whipple tried to find out just when the Connolly telegram was received in the Hutton office. He called atten- tion to the time the confidential tele- ?gam from Clement Curtis & company vas received at 12:48 p. m, with its intimation that a peace statement was forthcoming from Washington and produced from the brokers' files & news telegram which "was sent out by the'firm at 12:57 p. m. which read. “Stock flash: All reports have it that state department will issue statement today iIntended to promote peace pros- Dects. “H.

Hutton finally fixed the time of ihe receipt of the Connolly message as be- tween 12:17 and 1:15 o’clock. Whipple developed that the word “rellably” had been stricken out in the Hutton message to all correspond- ents at 1:54 o'clock and ‘‘confidential- ly” substituted. This made the mes- sage read ‘“confidentially informed' that the note had been issued. It also developed the message originally read He to reach here Thursday Hutton insisted that he and Mr. El- lis attached no great importance to the president's message as regarding its effects on the market.

What broke the market, said Hutton, was not the peace note but Secretary Lansing’s ‘‘verge of war” statement. “But that was on Dec. 21,” re-| marked Whipple. “Yes, but that’s what has killed the market,” was the reply. From Dec. 9 to Dec. 23 Hutton said, the clients of the Counolly firm lost $40,000 in transactions, $10,000 be- ing sent to Hutton & company and only $10,00 heing returned. “No poals of persons were operating through our firm hetween December 10 and December 23,” Hutton said.

S, PASSPORT Washington May Seek Ex- tradition of Capt. Boehm, Held in England. Washington, Jan, 31.—State depart- ment authorities today began inves- tigation into the issuance and al- leged improper use of an American passport in the name of Jelks Ledry Thrasher with which Captain Hans Boehm, sald to be a German army officer, was traveling from Spain to Holland. This is the first instance in many months where the revised passport regulations have failed. Legal officers of the government are looking into the question of extradit- ing Captain Boehm to the United States provided the British ‘authori- tles are willing to surrender him. He was taken off a steamer at Fal- mouth and placed under arrest by the British authorities,. Work also was begun on new passport regula- tions, which will be issued in a few days to further safeguard improper use of ‘passports. All persons connected in any way with the issue of Thrasher’s passport either have been or will be called to account by agents of the depart- ment of justice. Available informa- tion -makes it appear that persons in Quitman, Ga., who wrote letters identifying Boehm as Thrasher, a for- mer resident of that town, were cer- tain that Boehm it is said, wrote un- der Thrasher's name requesting the Jetters, which were given without sus- picion.

A deal involving one of the noted hostelries of olden days was complet- ed today, when Willlam W. Hanna and John W. Lynch of this city pur- rchased the Ryder estote located on the Farmington road about 1-8 of a mile north from the Plainville road. | The deal was made through Judge | Epaphroditus Peck of Bristol, execu- tor' of the property. The new owners | expect to take possession of the place about February 10, and the new Coun- | try club which is being organized will have its home in the new club house to be laid out by the owners. A ‘membership of 300 members is now being arranged, comprising & number of ‘the best known citizens in the ‘clty. e g s Located on one of the most pic- turesque sites in Connecticut, the estate was for many vears one of the best known in the state. Therc are | twenty-five rooms in the with all conveniences, such as elec- tricity, running water, etc., and three artesian wells in connection with the building. The exterior of the property embraces over seven acres of ex- cellent land for tilling. It is the in- tent of the new owners to lay out a nine-hole golf course as well -as ten- nis courts and other. recreation grounds. While the building will be used in part by the club members, it is. the. intent of tHe new owners also, to con- duct a first class road house for the convenience of automobile parties, etc. Located within ten minutes of the trolley lne, from the station at | White’s crossing or ‘at the Trumbull factory the place is easily accessible. Back in the halcyon days of horse racing, the race track which is close to the building, was famous and a number of important events in the racing world were settled there. For a number of vears however, the track has not been used, and was recently converted into a sand bank. On the death of Mr Ryder the es- tate came into possession of his sis- ter, who has since resided there. The place has been kept in excellent shape, and has been the envy of a number of parties who have sought its purchase. The' value of the prop- erty has been noted by Mr. Hanna for a year or so, and he has been closely on the alert with readiness to purchase it. Preparation of the articles of in- corporation are being prepared and will be submitted to the secretary of state within a few daws. The owners of the site plan to make it as preten-- tious as any similar sunmer home in this section of the country. WATER DEPT. PAYS $10,000 Is Given to City Treasurer for Sinking Fund.

Institution or Use of the police department’s com- bination patrol-ambulance by the hospital in the transfer of ordinary medical, or private, cases, is likely to be brought up before the safety board for action in the near future. ‘While it is not considered probable that there will be immediate with- drawal of the machine’s use in this respect, there is an' intimation that the hospital authoritfcs will be asked to provide an ambulance of their own or the city government be requested | to provide an additiongl ambulance for service so that the present ma- chine may be at the service of the police department solely as a patrol and for accidents and emergency ser- vice. ~ It is known that Chairman Edward G. Babcock of the safety board does not approve of having the present machine used as a city and hospital ambulance. He believes that there 18 no reason why conditions in vogue in .other cities should not Be here. Also''that, if the public realizes con- ditions, the time will come soon when some individual, or individuals, will see that the hospital has an ambu- lance. Exposure to Germs. Police officials do not approve_ of the plan followed at present, espe- ¢lally in the use of the ambulance in transfer of contagious diseases. Sev- eral ‘times recently it has been used to transfer sufferers trom erysipelas. It is unfair, a number of the officers say, to exposé the policemen who ac- company the ambulance, as well as to expose prisoners, who may afterwards be passengers in it when it is used as a patrol, to possible infection. One of the arguments presented to Chalrman Babeock is that every time the machine is used for a hospital call the department chauffeur and from one to two policemen have to accom- pany the machine without kmowing from whet sort of disease their pas- senger is suffering. While on'the call the department is without ambulance, patrel, chauffeur and the ‘one or two policemen, in case of accident or hur- ry call for police. For some time Chairman Babcock .and police officials have realized that there is need of a regulation ambu- lance attached to the .department or that some arrangement with the hos- pital is necessary whereby another machine is available for their ordi- nary work. Solutien of the problem has been under consideration for some time. What is expected to bring the matter up before the safety board for speedy action is a commu- nication received some time ago from the hospital authoritics in which was a request that there be some changes in the ambulance relative to letter- ing, etc. The contention was made that numerous patients objected to having a machine with lettering indi- cating police jurisdiction stopping be- fore their homes or in being trans- ferred in such a vehicle. Chairman Babeock. however, believes that the machine is primarily the property of the police department and that ar- rangements with the hospital for its use is only a courtesy. Several times recently physicians have pointed out that the machine is not properly equipped for anything but emergency ambulance work.
