Steadi- ness was shown by Mexican Pet., Gen- eral Asphalt and Union Pacific. ‘Wall street, noon—Increased pres- sure forced Atlantic Gulf down two point_but other oils, especially Mexi- can Pet. and General Asphalt, were decidedly strong. Steels and equip- ments threw off their early heaviness, General Electric showing marked strength. Movements among rails and shippings were irregular and a reac- tionary tone marked the trading in Americagi Car and American Smelting. Leathers, textiles and food issues rose and fell confusingly. Unsettlement in the foreign exchange market, with the British rate at lowest level of the year served to retrain buying for the long account. Call money opened at 6 per cent.

When he ran out of tha building Saturday orning William went to the homt of Constable A. P. Marsh, anG despite the kindness on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Marsh and the interest they had shown in him, baggage and immediately disappeared. Mr. Marsh iy satisfied that the young man is a good, clean-cut boy, who shows all signs of careful breed- ing and the best of home training and he is going to take steps to look him up to see if he has arrived safely, He knew where he was going in Springfield, stating that his folks liv- ed somewhere on State street. Some interesting stories were told by the boy while on his way from his home in Atlanta to where Mr, Marsh picked him up in Delaware. He told of how late one night when he was wandering along the country road just before he got into Delaware, tir- ed and dusty, dragging his suit casa which scemed to be growing heavier every mirute, he espied a barn. He crawled into the barn about ona o’clock in the mornming and went to sleep as soon as he struck the hay. Hardly was he asleep until the farmer discovercd him and ordered him out. He explained that he was tired and oply wanied a place to sleep. “I camt help it,”” replied the farmer, “I've had three barns burned in three years and I'm not taking any more chances.” L Almost exhausted the weary boy left the farn and again began his journey. He went a short distance when, overcome by fatigue, 'he . lay down and went to slecp on the ground only to be awakened by a heavy rain- storm. He stumbled and staggered along the road, through the rain until morning when ha found a place to sleep and dry his clothes. When found by Mr. Marsh he was standing against a stone wall along 2 country road in Delaware and hesi- tated to ask for a ride. Seeing the Conneéticut nama on the truck, an- other bay stopped Mr. Marsh and, pointing to young Allen said here was a boy who wanted to go to Sprins- field, Mass. Allen was delighted with the chance to ride but appeared very dif- fident. His body was a mass of mos- quito bites. He seemed to be of good morals, never made ase of a profane word on the road and stated positive- that he never woutd smoke. The theory entertained by Mr. 30 %’Kzarsh is that the boy’s mother, real- izing that if he were determined to start out for Springfield, sha could not stop hirm, gave him the $2.50 think- ing it would be enough to bring him home if he got tired on.the road. The boy, however, did not giva up but Kept on his journey, arriving this far with $1.30 of his money still left. Ef- forts will be made to communicate ‘with his parents in Atlanta.

The betterment of schedules for the greater part of the day on that line has fajled to attract business from the jitneys to the trolleys, the Con- [hecticut company officials report and they are running at a loss. Edward French, who operates the lines, is circulating copies of the mayor's petition in an effort to show how the feeling in that section of the city stand$’and he reports that hun- dreds have signed their names indi- cating dissatisfaction with the present service. On the East Main to Seymour park line considerable dissatisfaction is being evidenced. Seven corners, some of them very sharp, must be passed while the present route is being gone over, this fact making it exceedingly dangerous. The rule making the jitneys expresses as far as *Olive street, both from Main street and Seymeour: park, is not approved . of since passengers are being carried be- yond their destinations oftentimes. It is probable that the jitneurs will ask Prosecuting. Aftorpey A. A. Green- berg had nothing to say today con- cerning the possibility of. prosecutions Wednesday morning. In several oth- er cities, upon the recommendation of Commissioner R. B. Stoeckels of the motor vehicle department, no laction will be taken until that date. None of the new *J” markers, which were supposed ‘o be’issued to- day, have reached the city as yet. It is not considered likely that any pros- ecutions will be brought - until the registration plates have been issued. PERSONAL. W. D. Bancroft is a visitor to New York city. K. R.

C., July 18—The navy was vnprepared for war at the beginning of hostilities with Germany in 1917. iis organization now ia mnot what it should be, Rear Admiral Wil- liam S. Sims was justified in making his sensational disclosures, more than a year agn reflecting upon Secretary of the Navy Daniels for failure to furnish adequate support to the oper- ations of the grand fleet, and tha whole question of reorganization of the navy should be investigated by a commission to be appointed by Presi- dent Harding. These are outstanding features set forth in a report made public by a majority of a sub-committee of the Senate Naval Affairs committee, which more than a year ago investi- gated the charges made against Sec- retary Dapiels by Admiral Sims, in- volving not only a dispute abo#t medal awards but also the alleged state of unpreparedness of the navy and its operations during the world war. | The. majority report is signed by three Republicans, Senators Hale (Me.), Ball (Md.) and Keyes (N. H.). Practically every important finding of the Republican majority is dis- puted by a minority report, signed by Senators Pittman (Nev.) and Trammell (Fla.), Democrats. They cofftend that the mnavy was well prepared, that every possible sup- port -was accorded to Admiral Sims and those associated with him in co- operation with the allied Grand fleet, that Admiral Sims was not justified in the charges he made, which among other things asserted that hundreds of thousands of lives were sacrificed uselessly and $15,000,000,000 need- lessly spent. Many Naval Phases Covered The report does not deal with the question of medal awards, findings in/ that phase ot the investigation having been made public more than a year ago. The report consists of a review of about 4,000 pages of closely printed testimony, covering prac- tically every phase of naval warfare, the conclusions of the majority and minority report occupying 225 pages in themselves. “We recommend that a commission be appointed by the president to con- sider the question of the organiza- tion of the navy department,” the ma- jority report emphasizes, ‘and the changes recommended by officers of the navy in course of this investiga- tion, and to recommend to the con- gress such changes, if any, in s§d able.” CITY ITEMS Ida Carlson of Cottage Beach was operated upon this morning at the New Britain General hospital by Dr. Fromen.

Leven- son was the first witness before the supreme court today in the hearing on 32 charges by which Attorney General J. Weston Allen seeks the removal from office of Dist. -Attorney Nathan Tufts of Middlesex country. Levenson is alleged to have had a part in a transaction by which pay- ment of $7,500 bought off prosecu- tion of the International Service Co. for violating of the bankipg laws. He had testified previously ‘that he received $7,500 from the' service company which he turned over in installments to William J. Corcoran who had been District Aftorney Tufts predecessor in' office. Other wit- nesses had said that prosecution of the company stopped after the pay- ment was made, Levenson said today that he went to Cambridge to see Tufts with his four clients, agents of Corcoran. He saw Tufts he said, and Police Captain Herbert Gordon. The district at- torney said he had.turned the mat- ter over to Assist Dist. Attorney H. A. Wagner, Levenson testified. James S. Athans former president of the company told the -district attorney, according to Levenson that he did not know the company’s agents were representing the company as a bank- ing concern. Tufts informed him the company was Icharged ;with wiola- tion of the banking laws but referred specific inquiries’ to Wagner, Levens son said. MRS. KABER BETTER Woman Sentenced to Prison for Lifé After Guilty Finding for First Degree Murder Shows Improvement. Cleveland, July 18.—A slight change for the better was noted this morning in the physical condition of Mrs. Eva Catherine Kaber, convicted on Satur- day and sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of her husband Daniel F. Kaber. Mrs, Kaber slept a little last night and ate sparingly, the first sleep or food she has had since she was carried back to her cell from the court room after hearing sentence pronounced on her. Apparently worn out by the trial and the shock to her nervous system, she has remained in a partly comatose condition, showing little or no interest in her surroundings. Her daughter, Marian McArdle, awaiting trial charged with first degree murder of Kaber, is constantly with her.

It isewith deep gratitude that we wish to express our sincere thanks to all who helped in the recent sad home-cominz of our beloved Soldier son and brother. Especially, do we wish to thank all those who sent the beautiful floral tributes, the American Legion, Eddy-Glover post, Walter J. Smith post, Veterans, Company I, City of New Britain, Capt. Griswold, Com- mander Harry Jackson, the boys who so faithfully stood guard through the night at the Armory, and all ex-serv- icemen who, despite the rain, were in the line of march and took part in the funeral ceremony. In particular, our gratitude is due to Adjutant Clifford Hellberg and Ser- geant William Hopkins, whose un- limited kindness in the direction of the funeral arrangements did much to soften our sorrow. To the latter named—Sergeant HopKins—we would like at this time, to express public thanks for a previous indebtedness, when he found our soldier boy lying morially wounded at night, and in the thick of battle, carried him—with the aid of Sergeant Seledyn—to medi= cal aid, on an improvised stretcher, over gn hour’s fourr on foot.
