At the Church street when the arrest was made a Herald representative said to the two police- men making the arrest “I am from the New Britain Herald, is there arything you care to say about this arrest?” No, I can't say anything, but we are state police, for any further in- formation you will have to get in touch with Chief Hurley.” “Is Wallace Richardson arrest?” “Yes.” “On a bench warrant?” “Yes.” “What is the charge?” “I can't tell you, call Hurley." Wallace Taken Into Custody. When the police originally en- tered the restaurant on Church street at 1:30 o'clock they showed the warrant to Wallace Richardson. He immediately put on his coat and hat. During this time another state policeman apparently had Detective Sergeant Richardson in charge, as the latter was in the dining room standing alongside of one of the state officers. The car in which Wallace Richardson was taken away was 59-715, which is that of Chief Robert B. Hurley, superintendent of state police. Refuses to Go Bail The Church street hotel man, where young Richardson was em- ployed, this afternoon refused to go bail for the three men. When the arrest was made the hotel man asked: “Is there anything I for you?" addressing Detective Ser- geant Richardson. The reply was "I guess you can. I'll let you know later.” After deliberation the hotelman evidently thought it wisdom to keep out of the affair because when he was called aside on the telephone later by the Detective Sergeant and requested to furnish bail, he answered, “It was not I to whom you spoke, it was my brother. There is nothing I can do.” Little Official Comment An attempt was made this afternoon to get in touch with Police Commis- sioner Patrick F. King, but the latter had left the plant of the Stanley Works, where he is employed, in a hurry and could not be located. When Commissioner Robb was interviewed he claimed he did not know anything about it, but did not appear to be very much surprised. The following questions were asked: “Did you hear that they had arrest- ed Richardson?" under up Chief “Well they did. The state police came and arrested Richardson and his two sons today. Have you had a meet- ing of the police board lately?" *No.* “Well King left the Stanley Works in a hurry a few minutes ago, does he know anything about t?" “He may be on it, I don't know."" “He is charged with having stolen automobiles in his possession.”™ “That is something we don't know anything about.” Gives Good Recommendation. When asked if he ever had occasion lo distrust young Richardson in his place of business, the hotelman an- swered, “No. He was a good counter man and a good fellow, but of late he as been very much worried about something. To be frank I was wish- ing he would get through because he was so worried he could not keep his mind on his work. I did not want to fire him because then people would have said I fired him because of the charges in the newspapers, and I don’t do business that way.” Winkle Also Arrested. That Jake Winkle was arrested later this afternoon was the state- sentative who asked an officer of the police department. A Herald repre- sentative who asked an officr of the police department where Jake could be found, was informed, *“The state police just took him away.” Later a traffic policeman verified the state- ment by saying that he knew the state police were looking for Jake. you need it. restaurant | can do| 0UT OF EXISTENCE Noted Spangler’s Spring of Gettysburg May Soon Be a Thing of the Past. Visited By Tourists. Gettysburg, Pa., Sept. 20.—Spans- ler's Spring at which Union and Con- federate soldiers drank together during lull in the fighting at the close of the second day of the Battle of Gettys- burg, July 163, may pass out of existence. Typhoid fever germs hav: been found in the water and the state department of health has condemned it. The spring is one of the historic spots of the famous battlefield. Here soldiers of the contending armies met, drank together and filled their canteens with water for their wounded comrades when darkness stopped the fighting that had raged steadily throughout the day. Thousands of tourists and visitors to the battleground drink from the spring annually, PREFERS CLERKING T0 BEING A MODEL Oklahoma Man Declines to Ac- cept Ofier of Artist Muskogee, Okla., Sept. 29.—Al- though fame as a sculptor's model awaits him, Olin L. Stone, of this city, prefers the modest place of a store clerk. Soon, his image will be emblazoned on a memorial that will overlook the historic battlefield of hateau Thierry, France. Selected from a hundred Ameri- can doughboys who represented the Lest physical specimens of the Amer- ican Expeditionary Force, Stone has since had numerous opportunities to pose for artists of world-wide renown. To all, however, he has turned a deaf car and quietly continued his duties in an “army store” here. Stone’s image will adorn a statue that, when completed, will form a unit of what is declared will be one a of the most artistic battle monuments eieced in commemoration of the world war. It will be cut in stone 13 feet high and 8 feet wide. Stone will represent an American soldier stand- ing on a pedestal, taller than the frage of a French soldier, who stands at attention. The figure of a French girl with one hand resting on the Frechman's shoulder and the other extending a farewell Handshake to the American, will complete the group. The memorial will be the work of Constant Roux, French sculptor, and of Howard Davis, an American sculptor. It is expected it will be completed next year. Stone saw service in the battles of Cantigny, Montdidaier, Aisne, Marne, Meuse and Argonne. He also cerved with the Army of Occupation and in December, 1918, was returned to France to receive decorations. When it was decided to erect the memorial at Chateau Thierry, a care- tul selection began for the American whose figure was to adorn the monu- ment. The selection finally dwindled to a hundred, and these men were sent to Paris for a final choice by artists. .Stone was the unanimous choice of Roux and Davis. ASK DAVE'!

NEVERMORE 5 CENT TROLLEY FARE HERE (Continued from First Page.) that many people have no work, and others are working on short time; that the price of food has gone up; that a man may have to pay 40 cents each day when he was receiving but two dollars—all these facts and others brought the prices of transportation and its service into the realm of city affairs. The mayor said he realizes the Com- mission had a hard task before it. But relief the men and women of the city must have. Other channels seem to be shut off, and if there is to be any re- lief it will come from the Utilities Commission. Stopping Places Commissioner Higgins interrupted to say that in the matter of the chang- ing of stopping places, where pas- sengers would be allowed to leave or enter jitneys, the commission was quite ready to co-operate with the wishes of the operators. Mayor Curtis resumed to state that he believed all parts of the city shouid receive the same consideration from the commission. He said that in wards 6, 5, 3 and part of 1, people were com- pelled to use the trolley, while in wards 2 and 4 they were not. Further, he said, that 40,000 people in the city had to pay the 10 cent fare while but 20,000 could get transportation by paying the five cent jitney fare. The mayor believed that the manufactur- ers felt the jitneys, under present con- ditions, should be allowed to tak®e care of their employes, rather than charg- ing double fare to the people to aid in discharging ‘“‘dead horse debts.” L. F, & C. Wants Jitneys. Col. Herbert A. Johnson, speaking for Landers, Frary & Clark, was strong in his declaration that his company felt that the jitney was a public necessity. It employed about 5,000 people. They cannot afford to pay.10 cent fare. If the commission saw fit, he said, to grant jitney serv- ice for their employes the company would consider it a great benefit to itself and to its employes. His re- marks were greeted by enthusiastic applause. Commissioner Higgins warned against this sort of demon- stration. Stanley Works Represented. E. W. Christ, secretary of the Stan- ley Works, spoke along the same line. He said many of their employes were isolated from any transportation. For- merly the jitneys were allowed to serve them. Four times a day serv- ice would be sufficient service, and would be a privilege. Now the jit- ney service being taken away, things were decidedly unpleasant for the workers, Senator Hall Takes Floor. Senator Hall said that he had agreed with the report of the com- mittee and that he believed trans- portation matters such as these should be governed by local option. He believed that the mere running of cars over tracks was not “service'; that the charge should be reasonable and the service frequent. He had voted for the bill which is now the law, but he had observed that it worked out in such a way that the cars were not crowded. He had come to the conclusion that the jitneys are needed. He said that the trolley company had received considerable help from the legislature, as he knew because of his office as chairman of the ways and means committee.
