His petrified body has been unearthed and is now at Elm Grove, West Virginia. There is no doubt about the identity, for there are the horns protruding from the forehead, the spiked tail and the claven hoofs. Hunters dug up the petrified form ‘on Big Wheeling Creek, near West Alexander. First the horny head was unearthed by one of them who, badly scared, rushed to his companions. They continued the search in a body and finally removed the buried form. One of the oldest women of the re- glon recalls that a woman in her youth declared she would rather have Satan come into her home than the Bible. Her next child was the image of Satan. The child never was seen by others after its birth, Buy an Indiana truck.—advt. oney Belts | | Fountain Pens AFLOAT AND ASHORE We Are Show Will Prove ing a Kit That a Real Com- - fort to the Boys D ICKINSON Unbreakable Mirrors ] l Writing Cases NEW GLEW FOUND IN TAFT HURDER CASE Police Desirous of Extraditing “Billy” Price From New York A new clue to the murderer of Charles A. Taft has turned up in Hartford. “Billy” Price, who is fight- ing extradition to this state from New York, is the new suspect. He is be- ing held in the metropolis for the East Hartford police on the charge of theft. Although held on this sim- ple charge it is said that he may have certain knowledge that would aid in the solution of the myterious Taft murder on March 1, which took place on the Kensington road in this city. It is evident that the Hast Hartford police are very anxious to have him brought back as they have had a federal warrant issued for him based on an alleged violation of the interstate commerce law. But just how closely he is connect- ed with the Taft murder seems to be a matter for vague conjecture. Prich is said to'have known Taft and may have hired him to transport some of the stolen merchandise to New York. The principal item in the list of stolen meérchandise was copper ingots. Seven or eight railroad brakemen were ar- rested in connection with the copper thefts and were either sent to jail or put on probation by the Hartford and East Hartford courts. It is known that the Hartford and East Hartford police have not worked altogether in harmony on these cases as East Hart- ford has tried to ‘hog” all the glory and failed to let the Hartford- police in on some of their information al- though the Hartford police were do- ing their best to assist them. Mrs. Minnie Curtis conducted a boarding house in East Hartford in which several of the men involved lived. She was taken ill one day and had to go to a Hartford hospital. In her absence the police visited her home and found a large quantity of stolen goods, including copper and groceries. Her name has been drag- ged into the murder case also. Loot Transferred in Taxi. At the trials it was brought out that the copper was stolen from freight cars in East Hartford and had been taken to New York city in a taxi cab in loads of about 600 pounds at a time. The chauffeur was paid $65 for one trip and $75 for an- other. And this is where Taft's name comes into the case as East Hartford officials are of the opinion that he may have taken some of the copper to New York himseelf and was about to squeal when they ‘shot” him to save their own skin. But that hard- ly explains the woman in the case and there is strong evidence at hand to prove that there is a woman in the case. On the other hand, Price is basing his fight against extradition on an alibi. He maintains that he was not in the state of Connecticut at the time of the thefts, but was in New Yrk city. However, this does not prove that he was not interested in the receiving end of the game. The police officials in Hartford and East ' is confining. Hartford have been trying hard to identify the man to the satisfaction of the court for eight persons have already been taken to identify him and are convinced that he is the man most wanted in the copper thefts. He is said to have been the leader of the gang. Price is said to have es- caped from Policeman J. J. Desmond in Hartford last March, but was later arrested in New York and has been fighting extradition ever since. The arrests in the copper theft case came about three weeks after Taft had been murdered. Officials admit that Price, satd to be the ringleader of the thieves will have to face a more serious charge than theft on his re- turn to Connecticut, if he can be ex- tradTted. There are two Price brothers in the case both said to be “bad ac- tors.”” They are known as “Teddy” and “Billy.” The East Hartford authorities have maintained the theory. almost from the beginning that Taft was in some way involved in the copper thefts and hold it to be the first well defined mo- tive for the murder. According to Hartford sources Taft was also ac- quainted with “Teddy” Price and they both knew the Curtis woman. HEAT I§ INTENSE. Moulders and Other Factory Hands Have to Cease Work. The heat yesterday and today has been the most intense of the entire summer, causing much distress, par- ticularly to those whose employment In several of the fac- tories the moulders were excused from work yesterday afternoom and at the C. J. White company the entire force of young women was excused from work early in the afternoon. Thus far there has been but one Te- ported case of actual heat prostration. J. A. Taylor of Commonwealth avenue, Boston, 52 vears old, became pros- trated while waiting for a train at.the depot late yesterday afternoon. He was removed to the local hospital for treatment. RECOVER STOLEN WIRE. New Haven, July 31.—An autom>- bile in which was some four pounds of insulated copper wire was stopped by the West Haven police early today, and the driver, R. N. Hansell of 21 North street, Milford, was detained. Hansell is employed by the United Illuminating company of Bridgeport, and ends his day's work at midnight. The company has put in a claim for the wire alleging that it was stolen from its place. LEAVE FOR ARMY. Among New Britain boys whao left this morning for Fort Slocum, N. Y., were John J.

WANT EXEMPTION AIDES Additional Clerks Needed By First and Second Divisions For Weck. ‘Work Next In making the physical examina- tions and preparing for exemptions, the local draft exemption boards would appreciate very much the ser- vices of a number of volunteer work. ers. There is an immense amount of detall clerical work necessary in help- ing the doctors with the examination, giving out proper blanks and affidavits for exemption, and a number of clerks are needed. The preference would be for men above fhirty-one years who can write a legible hand and are more or less familiar with clerical work, but a few others can be used as aides. The work will begin probably Mon- day, August 6, and will last the great-y er part of next week. The headquar- ters for the first district will be the Pre-vocational Grammar school and the hours from nine until five. The second district headquarters will be in City hall. It is hoped that the work can be done by volunteers, and any of those who desire to serve are asked to send their names immediately to J. J. Wat- son, clerk of local division No. 1 or Stephen Robb, clerk of division No. 2.° RABBI SILVERMAN TO SPEAK The Sons and Daughters of Zion will have as their guest this evening at their meeting in Talmud Torah hall the well known communal worker and Zionist, Rabbi Silverman of Boston.

Everyone is welcome and it is hoped that New Britain Jewry will not miss the oppor- tunity to hear the message that Rabbi Silverman brings. Buy an Indiana truck.—advt.
