McNamara was not represented by counsel and entered a 'plea of not guilty. According to intimation by the au- thorities, the arrest of McNamara is but one of several expected.within a very short time. It is intimated that the investigation has progressed suf- ficienly far to warrant “springing the trap” and ‘gathering in all implicated | in the alleged confession of one of those already arrested. That theys is likely to be a sensation, it is teday admitted by the authorities, and the accused are not likely to be limited to several conductors in passenger service and alleged “agents” in the sale of unpunched tickets: It is be- lieved that the conspiracy, aé alleged, will seriously implicate a number in ‘other departments of railroad serv- ice and, possibly, one large printing establishment. Bogus Tickets Printed. Officials are reticent relative rumors that the probe has unearthed details of a clever scheme whereby bogus tickets have been printed in quantity and disposed of at scalpers’ prices. It is intimated that the al- leged confession by one of those al- ready under arrest and the result of the resultant probe has unearthed evi- ‘| dence-that large quantities of tickets have been printed and disposed of through “agents.”” Also that a num- ber of conductors in passenger serv- ‘ice have been' implicated of disposing of unpunched through tickets for re- sale and second use.- It is not be- lieved that the arrests will be con- fined to- this city; in fact there are indications that all parts of the “New Haven’: system will be affected: x John Curcio of 29 Locust street was fined $10 and costs for breach of the peace and violation of the edict rel- ative to spitting on the floor of a trolley car. Conductor John J. Ken- ney -of a Berlid-New - Britain . car complained that the accused violated the ordinance, not only once but again after’ being warned, and became abusive. The accused entered the de- fense that he “knew better but forgot his surroundings, having been to a <hristening and had a few beers.” Supernumerary Policeman Michael O’Brien made the arresf upen com- plaint. Solving H. C. of L. Problem. Chrarged with defrauding a restau- rant at 326" Main street out of the price of a meal, Stephen Frankoski was fined $3 and costs. It was testi-«| fled that he entered the restaurant, ordered ham and eggs and a small steak and then vefused to pay for the order. Policeman John L. Carlson, summoned to the scene, gave him a chance to pay: bat the accused still refused and was placed under arrest. Upon the requeat 'of Attorney M. D. Saxe, the continued hearing of Hilding Nelson, proprietor of the Ho- tel Nelson, charged with violation of the exicse statute relative to the sale of liquor to miinors, was again con- tinued for a week. Attorney Saxe an- nounced that he had a case in su- perior court today and would be un- able to proceed with the trial of the local case. Liquor Prosecuting Attor- ney B. W.

The qld-ume mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand- mother’s recipe, and folks are again using it to keep thelr hair,a good, even: color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youth- ful appearance is of the greatest ad- Vlflu.! Nowadays, though, we don’t have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home.

It is very lpopuhr because nobody can discover it" has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn- ing the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also pro- i duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.

The gathering was made up about equally of men and women, many of whom were in evening dress. The de- meanor of the audience was-calm at the outset, but the strong feeling un- derlying this calm was showh when many of those present mistock a spesch by Irving T. Bush of the Bush | == Terminal company as a vro-bennu utterance. Mr. Bush after a long plea for sympathy for -President Wilson and the end of criticism of him turned to a discussion of the war, and re- marked that some “felt that Germany was a Fatherland struggling against oppression.” He got no further. For more than ten minutes there wers boos and hisses, cries of ‘“Shut up!" “Throw him out!” “He’s a German! and other accusations. Time and again Major Putnam waved his arms in an endeavor to quiet the tumult, which was general | throughout the house. At last Mr. Bush got a chance to finish his speech. He did so to the accompaniment of scattering applause and a chorus of hisses whenever an opportunity of- fered. The speaker explainéd that he was not pro-German but pro-Ally. and that he merely was trying to pre- sent all sides of Americn feeling be- cause there could not be unanimity of action without mutual understand- ing. Except for the Bush incident and | the struggles of the crowd outside’ with police reserves, who closed the doors on fire department orders when the seats were filled, there was but one feature not on the program that occasfoned comment.
