CARRY YOUR OWN. + ‘Washington, June 29.—The popular ‘American prejudice against ‘“toting” bundles in public is to be attacked by the commercial economy board of the Council of National Defense in a na- tion-wide campaign through motion ictures and the b ::m" is the llon:':w“r;i "t:: - GIRL MAY RECOVER, SURGEONS HOPEFLL Victim of Would-Be Slayer Re- ported Resting Comlortable SEEK GUN TOTER'S LETTER French May Be Able to Face Court Within & Week—Revenge Now Thought to Be Young Italian’s Mo- tive for Crime—Exemption Board Gets Blank. Search for a letter which it 1is thought contained evidence of pre- meditation in the shooting of Miss Margaret Farrar by James French on a lonely road near Scott’s Swamp yes- terday was continued today by the authorities in the hope that should the unfortunate young woman's ‘wounds prove fatal a complete case may be established against the crazed garage employe. Efforts to locate it, however, were unsuccessful up to noon and it was believed that the note had ‘been lost. ; The opinion was held that before he took Miss Farrar on the tragic ride he prepared a state- meat in which he expressed the inten- tion of killing her and taking his own life. Reports concerning the girl’s condi- tion, given at St. Francis hospital, ‘where she was taken after the shoot- ing, were of a more encouraging char- acter this morning. Attendants stated that while she is in critical shape and very weak as the result of internal hemorthages caused by one of thp ullets plercing her lung, the fact that ‘she still clings to life gives some hope for her recovery. She was more com- fortable this morning than she has been at any time since she was brought to the hospital, and the phy- sicians were inclined to give her fam- ily and friends slight encourage- ment. That French is in no danger was the statement issued at the Hartford hospital where the girl’s would-be as- sassin is a patient. An X-ray exam- ination of the wound in his head which he inflicted after firing two shots into the girl’s body, which was made yesterday afternoon, showed that the pellet falled to strike a fatal spot. An operation for its removal ‘will probably made before night. A warrant formally placing the young man under arrest was issued yesterday afternoon by the Farming: ‘ton authorities and was served on him at the hospital. Two police guards have been assigned to remain at his cot as watchers, and he will be kept under close scrutiny until his recov- ery permits of his removal to court to answer to a charge of assault or mur- hould his victim’s wounds prove Since he was brought to the hos- pital, French has been very reticent and has said but little about the shoot- ing. No great effort has been made to get him to talk, the authorities con- sidering any - additional statements from hin unnecessary, at least at this time. That he attempted to slay the young stenographer because he believed her responsible for evidence of his dis- honesty given to the owner of' the garage in which they were both em- ployed and which led to his discharge is the opinion generally held. During the past few days he has been heard making statements in which he threatened to kill someone, although he made no mention as to the identity of his prospective victim. French was inclined to make rash statements at various times and they were never taken seriously by his as- sociates. According to the story told at the hospital by Miss Farrar, French made an attempt to hand her a note as she was entering the auto, but the paper was blown away and, as the young man said it was unimportant, no ef- -fort was made to recover it. At the garage early in the morning the young Italian had made inquiries of other workers as to the correct spel- ling of the stenographer’s name, and the belief is held that he wrote a note explaining his murderous intentions before he started in the car on the trip to her home. The contents of his pocket taken hy Deputy Sheriff Cowles of Farmington are held by the police. There was no incriminatory evidence among them. A notebook was found, but it con- talned no writings concerning the owner’s plans. According. to reports from Forest- ville, French drove through that vii- lage like & maniac before he went to Miss Farrar's home yesterday morn- ing, and during his mad ride crashed into a farm wagon coming toward | Plainville without stopping to ascer- tain if any damage had been caused. Miss Farrar told the hospital at- tendants that after she had jumped from 'the auto she started to walk towards Unionville avenue. While she was afraid of French, who followed her in the car, she did not believe he intended to shoot her, - and conse- quently she made no.effort to seek safety in thé home of Albert Peck, [ which she passed a few moments be- fore the shots were fired. She first walked slowly along the road, picking flowers on the side of the highway, in the: hope that the young Italian would drive back to town and leave her to continue her journey on foot. He insisted, however, and follow- || ing her in the mgchine, repeatedly in- viting her to get in on the promise that he would take her home. Angered over her continued refusald, he drew the revolver and shot her, subsequent- ly trying suicide. Acquaintances of the young ‘man believe that he is not mentally sound. His actions of ‘late have been most peculiar and they think that an ex-« | eligibles. Plai ainville N ews| SATURDAY SHOPPERS WILL FIND Al OUR GREAT ANNU!

The list given to the exemption board contains the names of 360 eligibles which it is believed included all the men in the town between the ages of 21.and 31. Of this number there are about one hundred subjects of other countries.
