Blaine Steed, detective sergeant, testified yesterday that while he and Kelley were in the bedroom where the body of the woman lay across the bed, the butcher boy asked Steed to shoot him “I'l walk toward her—toward the window—and that will give you a good excuse to shoot me,” the de- tective quoted Kelley as pleading.

NDIAN PRINCE IS INTROUBLE AGAI Nancy Aon Miller's Husbaod | Being Sued for $28,000 Bombay, India, Sept. 5 (/—The former maharajah of Indore, hus- band of Nancy Miller of Seattle, Wash., who lost his throne because of an affair with one Indian danc- ing girl, figured today in a sensa- tional high court appeal case over another beautiful Indian woman. The woman this time is Sowkabai Pandarination Rajpurkar, who is claiming damages of §4,000 rupees (abdut $28,000) from the former maharajah. She alleges wrongful imprisonment, personal injury, mis- appropriation of her property and systemati¢ cruélty by him both at Indore and Bombay. Alleges Decoyment She - atleges that she and her daughter were decoyed from Bom- bay through his agents with im- moral design, both being ultimately confined Indore for 10 years during which time her Bombay house was taken possession of by his agents and jewelry and furni- ture misappropriated. The woman states that in 1915 she and her daughter were per- suaded to go to Indore by an official | under the former maharajah's or- ders. Upon afylval there both mother and daughter were closely guarded and their residence sur- rounded by a military cordon. She said Tukojirao—as the former ma- harajah was known—made “inde- cent” proposals to her and suggest- ed that her daughter in time be- come his mistress. Cruelly Treated When the proposal was refused, she alleged, she was subjected to cruel treatment and removed to Mandalelshwar fort with her daugh- Tith, club, tee, headed by Martin J. Kelly, and | ter and imprisoned there for a long | term of years. The case ‘ewginally came before Justice Devar in the high court where, after the former maharajah had opposed the woman’s applica- tion the judge said it would be simply a denial of justice if the un- fortunate woman who was deprived | of her liberty for 10 years should also lose her property. He used the phrase, ‘“without cause” and re- jah was “rolling in wealth and had of- ficers, henchmen and agents, Who were “at his call for purposes both good and nefarious, LICENSED PILOTS IN CONN.

For, during a two-hour walk down the Champs-Elysees through the Louvre Gardens and a visit to the Louvre Museum the former heavyweight champion of the world was not once recognized. At the entrance to the museum | he refused all offers of the guides who wanted to pilot him through the picture galleries, choosing to go aloie. Thé guides did not recog- nize him and when they were ask- ed about his visit had much trouble in recalling, the presence of the tall | young man who théy say remained | | most of thé time in the wing occu- | | pied by the Flemish pictures.

Y., Sept. 5 (#— Confirming the fact that the Army- Navy athletic break shows no indi- cation of being patched up, Major General William R. Smith, com- mandant of the United States Mili- tary Academy, today announced West Point's completed football schedule for 1929. The schedule i1s marked by the addition of Illinois and a, trip to the Pacific coast’ for the first time to play Stanford on Dec. 28, The Navy not only is absent next year but, General Smith indicated, is not be- ing considered in making up the slate for 1930 for which ‘key games” already have been arranged. The Schedule The 1929 schedule follows: Oct. Gettysburg; October 12, Davidson College, (North Carolina); Oct. 19, Harvard at Cambridge; Oct. 26, Yale at New Haven; Nov. 2 South Dakota; Nov. 9, Illinois at West Point or New York; Nov, 16, Dickinson; Nov. 23, Chio, Wesleyan; Nov. 30, Notre Dame at New York; Dec. 28, Stanford at Palo Alto. The army’s trip to Stanford will mark the second time either one of the service elevens has gone beyond the Rockies. The Navy journeyed west in 1924 to play the New Year's Day game with Washington at Pasadena. Commenting on the new schedule General Smith, who was a cadet when football was first introduced at West Point, said: “Football schedules for this year and the two ensuing years are more strenuous in their demands than | West Point teams have ever faced. While we will go out to win every game, no extra privileges will be allowed our players. The military academy’s sole objective is to train young men to be officers in the army. While athletic training is important, it wil! always be subor- dinated to academic and military work and our high standard will not be lowered in any degree.” Wheeler Place Won’t Be Vets’ Hospital Westerly, R. I, Sept. 5 (®—The Fernando Wheeler place in Pawca- tuck, Conn., . once considered as a possible site for a veterans hospita has been purchased by Sidney ( Wood of New York city who will erect a private sanitarium there. Mr. Wood plans to open his health | resort next summer. The Wheelcr place which fa known as Hinckley Hill farm is on the Connecticut side of Westerly Just off the post road and takes in about 100-acres of hill country over- looking the sound. Purchase of the place by Mr. Wood automatically eliminates it as a veterans’ hospital site. It was one of several places which residents of Connecticut border towns put for- ward .in the search for a suitable location for a government sanita- rium in this district.

INTERESTED IN THE CAMPAIGN (Continued from First Page) ed and re-elected a wet democratic senator who also is a Catholic. The democrats feel sure,. furthermore, that they have little to fear from the religious issue in any of these three states, for in each one Catho- lics make up a very large pencent- age of the population. On the other hand, to win any of the three the democrats must bring about wholesale changes from the presidential record of recent years. In Massachusetts in 1924 Goolidge polled a vote of 703,000, and the combined vote for Davis and La Follette was only 432,000. In Con- necticut the figures were 246,000 for Coolidge, with 152,000 divided be- tween Davis and LaFollette. Rhode Island gave Coolidge 125,000 and Davis and LaFollette together 84,- 000, The republican leaders, taking assurance from this record, figure that the votes are there, if they can be got out, and are preparing to meet the democratic onslaught by organizing every precinct. G. 0. P. Working Hard All over New England, whose lifo is essentially industrial, republican speakers already are appealing for a continuation under Hoover of the Coolidge policies. However much they may have .been smother- cd by other issues in other parts of the country, such republican talking points as the tariff, “Coolidge pros- perity,” and business expansion are kept consiantly in the attentions of the New Englander. In the many mill and factory centers which dot the New England map employer and employe alike are advised by the Hoover workers wever again to en- trust their fortunes to a democratic administration at Washington. Judging by the past, the republi- can managers express confidence that before election day this sort of argument will win back even in wet states, such republican voters as may have been carried off the res- ervation by the first wave of enthu- sicsm which followed announcement of Goy. Smith's modification pro- gram. They do not expect an easy | victory however, especially in Mags- achusetts. They are taking into ac- count also that in Rhode Island the republican organization must face a ticket carrying the names both of Gov. Smith ang of Senator Peter Gerry, up for reelection again after 12 years in the senate, and having a special interest in the success of the national ticket by virtue of his responsibilities as chairman of the | national ~democratic campaign ad- | visory committee, Connecticut has had no democratic senator since 11876, but did choose a democratic governor for two terms more than a decade ago. Massachusetts is Prize Massachusetts, of course, is the | biggest stake of all. She has 18 elec- | torul votes ,and all of the other New | ingland states put together have but 26. It is here that the heaviest battle forces of both parties will be | concentrated, and no state along the | Atlantic seaboard, save New York, :ems more certain to be on the | stumping itineraries of both presi- | dential nominees. It is expected here, too, that President Coolidge will visit his home state at some | time during - the campaign, and | \whether he makes a speech or not will lend the encouragement of his | presence to his party’s workers. The democratic trump is Senator | Davia 1. Walsh, himself a candidate for re-clection. A modificationist | Gov. Smith, and a member, lik | &mith, of the Catholic church, he | has a record as a votegetter almost rivaling, that of the New Yorker himsel1. His strongest appeal always | has been to the cities, where Smith =0 is &tronge In previous ccm- | paigns he has had his own head- quarters and campaign committee; I'this year he has consolidated his | fortunes with those of the national | ticket, and a new democratic state chairman is organizing precincts wards for Smith and Walsh. For the first time under these cir- cumstances in years, all of democratic eggs are in one basket. | Of course there remain some | rivalries and disagreements among the democrats of the state, as | among the republicans. Just now | these differences are at their acute stage as the state primary campaign which ends September 18, enters its final phase. But in both parties the | primary fights are largely on local iesucs, and each side expects to go the | {the First ta vwesmr of - S 4 Branford — Edward Roach, pick- Manchester — Antonio Prete, con- tractor, receives §25:900 under terms of will of late Major Carle Prete, transtlantic Syer. pany, alleging he found glass in plece of bread.

Workers for both have heen occupied with getting new names on the registration books, and great increases have been recorded. The democrats are claiming the advantage, for threir reports show heaviest new registra- tion in the larger cities, which are traditionally wet and democratic. In Boston a total of 56,840 names were added to the registration books hetween July 2 and the closing date, August 29. Hard to Figure Out If the Massachusetts result were to hinge on prohibition alone, it would take much figuring to dope out a law of averages on past per- formances. In 1922 a state enforce- ment code was rejected at the polia, with an adverse majority of 103,000, but in' 192¢ one was adopted by a margin of 8,000 votes out of a total vote of more than 900,000. S8ince national prohibition became effec- tive one beer bill and one beer and wine referendum proposal ~have passed the legislature, but both were vetoed. As elsewhere, women are taking an increasing part in politics in Massachusetts, and the drys among them are giving much attention to the prohibition issue. Recently the republican ladies of Mr. Coolidge's home town of Northampton put out a campaign card proposing to abol- ish the republican elephant and the democratic donkey, and suggesting graphically the substitution of new party mascots, labelled “the dry” and “the wet.” The pictured mas- cot lahelled dry was a camel.

Each unit carries two sets of rollers upon which each wheel rests. As the car is set in position the rollers which are electrically driven revolve, causing the wheels to revolve also. Through a rocker ar- rangement to which a piston or plunger a reading is obtained on gauges of great accuracy. The pis- ton is brough into motion by the re- sistance of the brake of each whecl which moves the piston transmit- ting a fluid to the uges. Each wheel having a separate gauge all guesswork is climinated, thus suring well equalized brakes. The test results with a precise ac- curacy under conditions similar to road service and including the re- tarding effect of the car.

FRENCH COURTESY PLEASES HATCHES Tourists Blame “how 0fs” for Creating 11l Will Any antipathy the French ~mdy have for Americans has been caused and fostered by the “show-off" type of Americans, according to observa- tions made by W. L. Hatch, who with Mrs. Hatch has just returned from a trip abroad. Mr. and Mrs. Hatch sailed from New York on July 7. They visited Frafice, Germany and Great Brit- ain. Motor trips were made to sev- eral points of interest in France and Scotland, - to the battlefieldy and through Brittany and Normandy. They were accompanied on part of the trip by Professor and Mrs. Btan- ley L. Galpin of Trinity college, On two or three occasions. they were forced to stop in the country in France for minor car repairs or tire changes. In each case, he said, they found the natives the very personi- fication of courtesy. The people in the vicinity of the repair shop would bring out chairs for the visitors and ofter them every courtesy, making polite inquiries of conditions 1a America and offering what facilities they had to make the guests from across the water comfortable, The weather was very comforta- ble at all times, except during' the hot wave which swept eastern United States early last week. The travel. ers were on the water then and they report the temperature of the water in the Gulf stream to be. 83 ons day. Reported animosity toward Amer- icans, of which much has been re- ported, was not manifest and where it was encountered was brought on by the Americans themselves, Mr. Hatch sa When the French franc was worth but a few cents in Ameri- can money, American travelers of the cheap comedy type would paste francs on their suitcases, use them to light cigarettes and in other ways “show off” to the humiliation of their hosts.
