Directly opposite views had fust been given the committee by Briga- dier General Drum of the general staff, who said he was authorized to speak formally for the war depart- sment.

So far As the war department is informed, the presidentlal approval sought was not glven. Mr. Weeks maintained slience to- day, but indicated that he would not be long in making a decision on General Mitchell's future status, once all the papers are hefore him. The General's Letter.

It has just come to light that Emil Voisard, who is about 16 years of age, and the one who carried the most of the papers on the routes, broke his arm about a week and a half ago. He was assisted in the duties of his routes by his two sis- jters, Elizabeth and Violet, both !younger thah he, and night after |sleet, these three plodded on their | way failing to disappoint their cus- |tomers on even a single occasion, Emil is a student at the state trade school in New Britain and in the course of his studies was sent into Belyidere to work on a new house being erected there.

For a time it appeared that the load of papers would be thrown onto the shoulders of the two young girls Urassuming and quiet, . Joseph Voisard mother of the carrier, quick- ly saw that the customers of her son to whom, he was devoted, were liable to be put to great inconvenience if their reading matter did not reach them and without further ado, she went with her two girls and took up the route until such a time as Emil will be able to resume his work. ' Every evening in' front of Ryder's {store in Plainville, the delivery place for the bundles, Mrs. Voisard and Elizabeth and Violet get their bun- dles, count out their routes and then shouldering their well filled bags, set out over the long road and the cus- tomers of the Voisard family read ‘,thblr “Heralds.” {night In fair weather, rain, snow or{ NEW BRITAIN KUPEC SURRENDERS Missing Letter Carrier Ar- Taigned in Federal Court ENDS § MONTHS' SEARCH An eight months' search by postal inspectors for John Kupec, former letter carrier connected with the lo- cal post office for about flve years, came to an end Tuesday when Ku- pec returned to the city after an absence since last June and gave himself up to Postmaster Herbert F Erwin, it was learned today. Knowl- edge of the return of the missing carrier became known when Le ®as arraigned in the federal court at New Haven'yesterday and held un- der bonds of $500 for trial later in the month on charges of theft from the mails. It has been known that the post oftico authorities have been search- ing for Kupec since last June when he left the city and absented him- self from his duties at the post office without permission of the postmas- ter. At the time of his departure, Postmaster Trwin, knew of no fr- regularities in the accounts of the carrier, but it is understood that de- falcations and thefts amounting to about §100 were discovered when somebody on Kupec's route in the north end of the city appeared at the post office to register a com- plaint, Post office inspectors were then called into the case and a complete checkup was made of the carrier's accounts, a reported shortage of about $100 being discovered. The exact method by which Kupec ob- | tained the money has not been re- vealed. 1t is known that Kupec has made restitution for all the money that was missing and has made a clean breast of all his misdolngs as an em- ploye of the local office. He was a carrler here for about five years and his record had been a good one until early last year. BRINGS SUIT FOR $500.

Ripping a plece of wire from a part of the cell equipment, Chapman fashioned a key which, prison auth- orlties say, wonld not have opened the type of handcuffs they proposed to place on him, but would free him from the cuffs ordinarily used on prisoners when taking them from city to city. Chapman was surprised when ordered to remove his prison garb and substitute street attire. He was required to malke the change in the presentes of a keeper and when his prison clothing was searched the ley was located. It is belicved that he had planned to open the cuffs and make a sensational dash for lib- erty through the moving train, Threatened With Death Before leaving the prison at At- ata Wednesday morning, Chap- man was advised by Dupty Warden George C.

Mrs. Janle Collins, 65, weakened by a chronic {llness, made her first visit to the scene today and broke down in tears. The victim's sister, Miss Nellie Collins, 21, also saw the tragic surroundings for the first time this morning. Peering at the mouth of the cave, the elder woman asked exactly how her stepson was pinioned and en- tembed. She talked a bit and then sank, her strength having ebbed to a low point. After a brief rest on cot in the Red Cross tent, the di tressed woman was taken home, She had repeatedly begged Collins to abandon his explorations, she said. “For goodness sake, Floyd, quit go- ing In those holes,”” she warned him. Her answer, one day, was a promise that he would “not go in any dangerous places again. “Then he told me about an awful |dream he had. He said: 'T can't get |over my dream.
