VoL. Lil—NO, NORWICH, CONN. “SATURDAY, -~ The Bulletin’s Girculation in Norwich is Double That of Any Other Paper, and Tts Total Girculation is the Largest in Connecticut in Proportion to the City’s Population TAFT HAS A STRENUOUS AUTO TRIP Journey to Manassas Made Over Flooded Roads and Through Swollen Creeks BRANDEGEE STRANDED IN A STREAM Car of{Connecticut Senator Containing Party of States~ men Passed as President’s Auto Fords the Creek— Attempt to Ford Second ‘Stream Unsuccessful— Party Forced to Return and Take Another Route. Manassas, Va., July 21.—Mud-be- epattered from a strenuous trip from Washington by automobile over flood- ed roads and swollen creeks, Presi- dent Taft today faced an audience made up in part of veterans who wore the blue and the gray within a few miles of the sceme of the great con- flict of the civil war and was ap- plauded and cheered when he made a plea for international peace. Arbitration Treaty with France. The president said that a general erbitration treaty both with Great Tritain and France probably would be #igned within the next ten days. He sadded that he hoped within the next few days to announce that three other szreat powers would enter into similar agreements with the United States. Rough Trip to Manassas. President Taft reached Manassas Jate this evening after a tempestuous trip. It was so rough going that the presidential party abandoned their motor cars and returned to the cap- jtal by tramn. Mr, Taft laughingly likened his troubles in getting to Bull Tun to those which some persons 50 years ago experienced in getting away, Taft's Strenuous Experience. The president’s trip from Washing- ton to Manassas would have thrilled the heart of a moving picture enthus- jast, He left a trail of stranded a toMobiles in his wake, made risk: voyages across streams out of their banks; stopped en route to rescue a party ‘of marooned senators, and de- manded votes for reciprocity as a re- ward; plowed his way through rain storms and mud, and finally wheezed into this historic Mttle village at sun- down. : Autos in a Roaring Brook. The car containing the secret serv- ice men which started bravely beside the president as he left the White house, held to the race gamely ugtil within a few miles of the battlefield, and then gave a despairing gasp and stopped in the middle of what once on a time was a peaceful brook, but which had become today a muddy tor- Tent. A Shallow Point Found. This stream had daunted the cour- age of the presidents chauffeur, who up to this time had suecessfully en- compassed three or four fords. So the secret service car was sent ahead to test the depth of the water, but the effort to make the crossing failed. By & detour the president managed to ne- gotiate the stream at a shallow point. Senators Abandoned. Several of the rescued senators stowed away with the secret service fmen after their automobile shipwreck at an earlier ford, were left stranded this time, with the declaration by the president that they were a lot of “stand patters.” Stenographar Also Left Behind. One of the White house stenogra- phers who had followed the president from coast to coast and from Puget ®ound to the gulf of Mexico, likewise was abandoned in midstream, and Mr. Taft, for the first time since he be- came the chief maristrate of the na- tion, spoke without official record be- ing made of his utteramce. Bright Skiss When He Started. ‘When the president's party started #rom Washington to attend the culmi- nation exercises of the Manassas semi- centennial and peace jublles, the sun ‘was shining brightly. He had net gone far on his way, however, when the storm clouds began to gather, followed by a deluge. Benators Stalled in Midstream, Five miles out of Fairfax the presi- dent's car mounted a hill, dipped down into a valley and discovered a ®dig touring car stalled In the middle of a stream that in ordinary days is two feet wide, but which today had broadened into a hundred feet of yel- low, swirling water. ”Seated in it, calmly_awaiting their fate, were Sen- ators Nelson of Minnesota, Bacon of Georgla and Overman of North Caro- lina, and Solicitor General Lehmann. Brandegee Was Looking for Horse Senator Brandegee of Connecticut, owner of the car, had abandoned his friends in midstream and had gone ahead to obtain the services of a horse or two to pull them out. Major Butt Wades Into Stream. Major A. W. Butt, the president’s personal aide, took one look at the stream and another at his shining yel- low boots, and then the boots came off and the major was in the torrent up to his waist. He scouted right and left and finally waded across and back again. Taft Salutes Stranded Senators. “We can get across,” said he, as he came back to the waiting White house car, bedraggled, but happy. The pres- ident raised his hat in dignified fash- ion. “Thank you, Major,” he said, “Get in and welll try it.” As he passed Senator Bramsegee's machine the president gravely saluted. “How do you do, senators,” said he. President’s Auto Forded Stream. from Washington with the president made the ford in short order. On the further bank they stopped. Passing carriages were called into service and those stranded were lightered to shore. Senator Nelson Picked Up. Senator Nelson was taken into the president's car. He took glances at his colleagues, sat back comfortably, took a fresh chew of tobacco and pre- pared for the worst. Two miles fur- ther south the sceme was repeated. Secret Service Men Get Stuck. This, time the attempt at fording failed miserably despite Major Butt's gallant efforts to find a crossing. One of the three presidential cars were sent ahead, manned by secret service men only. It got stuck in the chan- nel and the secret service men waded back to shore. Farmers Take in the Scene. Major Butt, wet to the armplits, came back disconsolate to meet the presidential salute. At this crossing a few neighborhood farmers with their wives had gathered, checked also in their efforts to get to Manassas. They looked at the president with awe and at the major with some amusement. “Hasn’t he got handsome features!” said one, as she gazed at #he unshod feet of the president's aide. Forced to Go Back. . Back over the same road it had just traveled, the White house car, now containing another senator, traveled with care. Behind it came a second car loaded with more senators and se- cret service men. At the ford they had crossed a short time before they had to resort once again te horses and carriages, but once across they got in- to the machines again and by another road sought the battlefield. , Dried Secks on Windshield of Car. Major Butt, wet to the skin, hung his socks on the windshield of the president’s car, At times he was forced to quit the car to quiet fright- ened horses, for-the law of Virginia requires an automobilist to perfom this duty, and the president would obey it. Representative Carlin of Virginia, who started with the president, alter- nated with the major in calming horses ang trying to look happy. Only Six Reached Manassas. When the president finally chugged into Manassas, Senators Martin and Nelson, Representative Carlin, Secre-’ tary Hilles and Major Buft, with his boots on again, were the only surviv- ors. The rest were somewhere in the disastrous rear, glued to the Virginia roads or stuck in the Virginia creeks. CHOLERA SITUATION STILL ENCOURAGING. No Nw Cases Discevered and No Fur- ther Deaths. New Vork, July 21.—There has been I#tle within the past 24 hours to change Dr. Doty’s optimism regarding the outlook on the Asfatic cholera. T‘hn following bulletin was issued to- night: At Hoffman island conditions are gressing favorably. At Swinburne island hospital no deaths have been reported since the last report of yes- terday. All are well on board the de- tained Anchor line steamer Peruvia.” The steamer Roma reached quaran- tine tonight from Marseilles and Bar- celona with 720 passengers in the steerage, and was detained. The Roma uusually takes passengers at Naples, but did not stop at that pert on her voyage over because of the cholera.

The case went to the jury today, who after being out five hours brought in a ver- dict of guilty against both on two counts. After being sentenced to a year each in jail, Mrs. Hilsinger was taken to the prisoners’ room, _preparatory to being taken to jail.

Richmond, Va., July 21.—The miss- ing link in the chain of evidence which the detectives have been forging in the case of Mrs. Henry C. Beattie, Jr., who' was slain Tuesday night, five miles south of Richmond, on the Mid- lothian turnpike, while automobiling with her husband, appeared to have been supplied today when Paul Beat- tie, a cousin of Henry Beattie, made formal confession, the police say, that he bought for the husband delivered to him_ last Tuesday the gun with which Mrs. Beattie was killed. Thereupon both Henry and Paul Beattie were arrested and the former was brought to the Richmond city jall, where he is held without bail to- night. Paul Beattie fell in a“dead faint when arrested and later writhed in convulsions. He was so violent he had to be handcuffed and thus gpana- cled was taken to the city home for medical treatment. He remains there tonight, and is reported much better after the first shock of the collapse. The accused husband took his arrest coolly. He exhibited neither surprise nor emo- tion, but called for a cigarette and a newspaper. The coroner’s inquest proceeded to- day in Chesterfield county, but early tonight was adjourned wuntil tomor- row. The husband was the first witness heard today. The commonwealth’; line of questioning indicated Jts be- lief that Mrs. Beattie was killed in the road where the large bloodstain was found. instead of in the automobile.

Asquith Forced the Issue. Yesterday the futurs career of the veto bill was apparent to all politi cians, and its eventual acceptance by the house of lords was not doubted. Premier Asquith dispelled all clouds today by communicating informally to Mr. Balfour, leader of the opposition in the houss of commons, the sub- stance of an announcement which he will make in that house Monday. His letter, which Mr. Balfour communicat- ed to the meetings of the lords this afternoon, was brief and to_the point. King Ready to Aid Prime Minister. Ths prime minister said that the king had agreed to take such measures as were necessary to secure the —-s- sage of the bill, and this dashed the lingering hope aa few pears had cher- ished that the crown would refuse to lend its authority to weakening the prestise of the nobility which stands between the crown and the pzople. A Day of Czucuses. This was a day of caucuses. Three meetings were held to discuss the sit- uation. The cabinet assembled early with a full attendance and sat for two hours.

The last, and most impressive gath- ering was at Lansdowne houss, which has been the scene of many important political mestings, but nbne as his- toric as this. More than 200 peers, among them almost all the greatest names of their order, asszmbled and listened to the reading of the prime minister's letter, and practically de-] cided that they must accept the in- evitable with the bast srace the can.

President Simon was obliged io abandon his campaign in the north and to withdraw his army hastily to the capital, where he arrived aa very sick man, and is now confinad to his bed.

For a time today the senate lzaders hoped they might get the bill to the president before he leaves for Beverly tomorrow, but a visit by Senators Pen. ross and Crane to Speaker Clark of the house soon dispelled this expecta- tion. The speaker explained it would be impossible to hold the house in ses- sion long enough to receive th: meas- ure. House Wili Receive It Wednesday. It is not expected that the senate session tomorrow will be greatly pro- longzd, but the house. having little to do, rarely has a quorum these days. | That ebeing - likely tomorrow, as tha I speaker pointed out, it was agreed that the plan was impracticable.
