REWARD Local Workmen Have Novel Ex- perience in Plainville of the company, chmidt, Two Light Riley themselves employes and Power Frank onnecticut John J. found in arrassing posi- tion in Plainville yesterday afternoon when they were ‘“arrested” on a charge of tampering with gas meters. The men had been testing electric meters and wires on Maple street, Plainville, in s a break when were “apprehended” by Con- and an em stable Philip Marino and three repre- l sentatives of the Bristol Gas company. ’ "helr appearance answered so per- fectly a description of two young men suspected of robbing meters that the constable refused to listen to explana- tions, but, with a wide sweep opened his coat, thrust out his chest, dis- played his shield of authority, reached for his shackles and prepared to put the men “in the irons.” Luck- ily for the local me hother employe v happened along ituation. Ahem! Ahem! Pardon Me! Constable Marino buttoned up his coat, sputtered a few apologies and walked off. The Bristol men also ex- pressed their regrets at the mistake and invited the electricians to accept the hospitalf of their car back to New Britain. The offer was accepted, incident considered at an end. The incident was witnessed by a score of people all of whom felt sure that the mystery of so many meter breaka about the town was about to be cleared up. Constable Marino was congratulated upon his success in “running down'' the culprits and in capturing the $50 rcward offered for bringing In the persons responsible for the meter robberies. The reversal brought about by the friend of Riley and Schmidt wa equally as em- rassing to the Plainville n as vas the “arrest” to the local e loyes of the lighting company. Enter, the Culprits, It appears that, earlier in the day, two young men were found tamper- ing with a meter. One was rather tall and wore a cap while the other was short in stature and wore a fedora hat. Each carried a bag. This in- formation was furnished the authori- ties and a search instituted. A few hours afterward, Riley and Schmidt stepped off the trolley at the Plainville center and started for Ma- ple street to test grounds. Schmidt, who is rather tall, was wearing a cap and carrying a bag of electrical tools. Riley, somewhat shorter, was wearing a fedora hat and also carrying a kit ol tools, Violence Is Feared. As the men were walking along the street someone having the interests of the gas company at heart phoned the Bristol office and three represen- tativea of the company were delegated in a high-powered car to bring in the men sought. Fearing violence, they enlisted the services of Constable Ma- rino in Plainville and the chase be- came hot. As they approached Maple street, they paused for a minute and scruth ized tho two men walking down the thoroughfare with bags in thelr hands, meanwhile comparing notes with the descriptions furnished them. They were unanimous in their deci- sion that the local electricians were the men wanted. Strategic moves were decided upon and Constable Ma- rino was placed in charge of thelr execution. Then the Fun Began. Acting under orders, the driver of the Bristol car drove up to the curb- ing near Riley and Schmidt and in. quired as to whether his rear tire was in need of air. As the men stepped out to kick the shoe, Constable Ma- rino and one of the Bristol men ran to the rear, hemming in the two elec- triclans who merely looked up with open-eyed wonderment. “Get into that car,” the constable ordered. “By whose authority,” piped back Rlley. “In the nmame of the law,” replied the constable with a wide gesticula. tion that made both the local boys O’Nelil duck their heads, meanwhile reaching for his hand-cuffs. Riley and Schmidt were about to step into the car when the other Bris- tol gas man drove by in his car and seeing the predicament his were in, turned back.

Best Nussell PHILIPPINE TRADE IS NOW THREATENED Convention Delegates Hear Talk by Manila Businessmen Cleveland, O., May 5.—Disaster threatens American business men in the Philippines through the Revenue Act of 1918, taxing the wholly for- eign income of nop-resident Ameri- cans, Daniel R. Williams of the Am- lrrlc:ln Chamber of Commerce at Ma- nila told the Eighth National For- eign Trade convention here today. Mr. Williams said that this taxation en- dangered the trade and prestige of the United States through the entire Orient. “The evidence which comes from every quarter of the globe as to the discrimination worked by such tax against Americans and to the nd\'nr?- tage of their competitors is too unani- mous and too overwhelming to be questioned or minimized,” Mr. Wil- liams said. “The stock argument—and the only one so far as we know in favor of this is that non-resident Americans receive protection from our govern- ment and should therefore contribute to its support. Possibly the less said about the measure of protection which has been afforded American interest abroad the better. Certainly the testimony of those with actual experience of the facts—whether in Mexico or elsewhere—would - show the price charged to be out of pro- portion to the service rendered. i “Should we concede however that our government exercises the sanie vigilance over the rights and interests of its citizens abroad that it does over those at home, this hardly justifies the suicidal policy of taxing such non-residents out of business.” Mr. Williams declared the tax to be taxation without representation. “Americans are held liable for the exorbitant rates of the United States aet while Filipinos, Britishers, Ger- mans, Japanese and trade rivals of every race and color go their way un- molested,” he continued. “The American cannot add this ex- tra tax to the selling price of his goeds, nor can he possibly pay same out of profits. To enforce collection, therefore, means not only bankruptey to him and the delivery of the bus- iness of the islands into the hands of foreigners, but it means a deadly blow to the prestige and commerce of the United States in one of the most promising trade fields now open- ing to our markets.” —ee Best coffee 3 lbs. $1.00.—Russell Bros.—advt. —_— Pure lard 11c 1b.—Russell Bros.— advt.

ROYALTY HARD UP SELLING JEWELRY Hard Pressed for Cash, %uccn Olga of Greece Sends Gems to Ameri- ca to Highest Bidder. Paris, May 5.—Queen Olga, mother of ' King Constantine of Greece, is in such circumstances that she is re- ported to have offered some of her jewels for sale. It has just become known here that she recently sent a young Greek officer to the United States with a large emerald brooch with instructions to dispose of it at | the highest price. | He was dressed in civilian clothes and served as a mate on the steamer King Alexander. Upon arriving in New York he failed to declare the jewel and he was arrested and im- prisoned for 20 days and also fined $700. The captain of the vessel also was penalized for failing properly to acquaint passengers with American customs requirements. The brooch, which had been in the family of the Greek dowager for a century, was confiscated at the New York custom house and accord- ing to Paris stories Queen Olga is now trying to find some means of | retrieving it. Several weeks ago officials of the United States customs service in New | { York seizéd a lavaliere, with an emer- {ald studded pendant brooch, which ! they found in the possession of an electrician on board the King Alex- ander. The jewel was appraised as | {having a value of more than $1,000 and it is still in possession of the gov- ernment.
