WIRELESS MESSAGE CAME THROUGH NEW LONDON. Described Clever Maneuvering of Americans in Farewell to Brazilans The scene attending the parting of the Brazilian battleship Minas Garaes fro mthe American warships which convoyed her sea last night, is described in a wireless telegram re- ceived at New York, Thursday by way of New London, Conn., from Dudley Field Maline, third assistant secretary of state, who was aboard the battle- ship Delaware, escorting the Minas Geraes. On the Brazilian vessel was Dr. Laure Muller, a minister of foreign affairs of the South American repub- lic returning to his native country after an official visit to the United States. Admiral Winslow, commanding the battleship Arkansas, made a “magnifi-. cent manoeuver” with his small fleet of two battleships and three destroy- ers, Mr. Malone’s despatch says. The American vessels made a complete circle of the foreigner passing close to her. The crews of the Amrican and Brazilian Ships exchanged three cheers and the bands plaved the Brazilian and American anthems. Mr. Malone on board the Delaware received the following message from Dr. Muller. “The beautiful good bye ceremony our ships HMROMH between our ships deeply touched me. Kindly receive and tender to Admiral Winslow and to the coramanders, offi- cers and saflors of the American fleet my most sincere thankKs and wishes for their happiness and glory. God bless America.” Mr. Malone sent his message from the Sound steamer Commonwealth on which he was returning to New York and Washington. ELKS’” BAND CONCERT.

Dr. Dwight Tracy Making Unique Record For The Founders —Will Preserve The Historic Buildings Of The Town ‘ For All Time—Will Write Records Of Ownership. Dr. Dwight Tracy, genealogical ex- pert and authority,now visiting here, is engaged this year upon a unique work upon his annual visit o the city of his ancestors. Through his interest in the ! preservation of things old and of his- torical value, he ls engaged under the auspices of the Society Gf the Founders, of Neorwich in making a collection, which the Founders shall own. The idea of such x collection and plan_was suggested to the society by Dr. Tracy, and it will give them, he says, a place unique amcng historical societies, and will preserve for the fu- ture an invaluable record of the houses still extant that date back to the early days of Norwich. Dr. Tracy has alréady been at his work some little time and has taken pictures of about fifty houses in Nor- | wich, most of them the old settlers, but more modern houses are included as well, If it is the wish of anyone in- terested to see that they are included. They will be old in time, and in the course of years will be a part of the| historical records of the town. Equipped with a camera which is well-nigh perfect in all its facilities, Dr. Tracy takes a 4x5 picture of the houses, and this is enlarged in a sepia print of about 12x15. It is these en- largements which will be placed in the Founders society, which will be kept in a vault until possibly some time in the future the Founders may have a building or other repository of their own where such articles could be kept. Besides keeping the large prints, the | i He Has Been Missing Since the whereabouts of Willlam J. who disappeared from his home Avery street, on June Thursday morning when found in a mowing lot on the farm of Stephen Parker in Montville center.

In additien to the houses, Dr. Tracy expects also to take pictures of streets, and in connection with the houses there will be written re.ords tracing their ownership back, in many cases to the original home lot. Much of this his- torical writing will' be compiled also by Dr. Tracy, but he will have assist- ance on this side as well About the oldest house that he has taken so far is the Daniel Tracy (1652- 28) house at Norwich Town, the * home of the first Norwich man of the name. It is on East Town street, and is now owned and occupied by the Bacheler family. In making his photogtaphs Dr. Tra- cy works with the eye and discrimina- tion and patience of an artist, and has frequently taken some of them over four or five or six times before he got just’ what satisfied him. He has tried them at all times of the day and has had some of his finest results from pic- tures taken in the early morning be- fore ¢ o'clock or In the evening after sundown. In the work that he is do- ing now he is giving his services out of interest for what he expects the collec- tion to amount to, and the society is saved from incurring expense by the owners of houses who pay about the actual cost of ‘the pictur DOGS KILL SHEEP IN TOWN OF CANTERBURY. 37 Belonging to Charles S. Hyde Were | Lost. Former Representative Charles S, Hyde of the town of Canterbury has reported to the authoritics of hi that 37 valuable sheep owned by him were killed by dogs on July 13. destruction of these sheep serves (o | call attention to one of the main diffi- | culties which are encountered by those who are engaged in wool raising" in this state, says the Hartford Times. At fr: mbly ' the subject of the matter has been earnest disc The natural antipatiy which some dogs have for sheep is the cause of the trouble. At the session of 1911 the law was changed to permit the | killing of dogs found worrying or! chasing sheep It was hoped that this permission would be fcund an effect- ive remedy and that cwners of dog: would take steps to keep the ani from_molesting sheep. But it is dent that the hope has not been real- ized. Sheep continue to be the vic tims of the destructive propensities of some dogs, and the wool raisine in- | dustry of the state, which should re-| ceive every encouragement, is serious- | ly_handicapped. It can be stated on the authority gentlemen engaged in woolen man facturing in the state that wool r: ing in Connecticut can be made a ! profitable Industry if it is given a fair| chance. The statement which Senator Angus Park of the town of Sprague made in the senate at the session of 1911 on wool raising in Connecticut | showed the possibilities of the indus-| try. Senator Park spoke as a woolen manufacturer. He told his colleagues in the senate that it was possible to| grow a superior grade of wool in this| state and that Counecticut flr‘m‘(‘si could always command a market. Sen- ator Park urged the necessity of pro-| tecting sheep from the ravages of dogs. | LAUNCH AVA BURNED Frank Potter Burned About the Arms, —Explosion Started the Fire. | Frank Potter of Norwich narrowly escaped bad burns at i0 o'clock Tues day night, when a 30 foot yacht caught fire and burned to the water's edge in the Connecticut river at Hast Had dam.

Potte | Mr. Potter and his son, Howard, | were in the craft putting things to rights after a sail on the river, when the lighted lantern, which had been placed near the gasolin: tank, explod- ed. It is believed that gas from a lealk in the tank had accumulated and when coming in contact with the lantern flame caused an explosion. | Howard was in the stern, and he immediately jumped into the.rowboat which was usell as a tender, cut the line and rowed to_ the rescue of his father, who escaped from the spread-. ing flames by crawling out of a win-| dow in the cabin and going to the for-| ward part of the boat. Mr. Potter's arms were singed before he could get away from the fire, but he suffered no other”injuries. i The cockpit was a mass of flames insfantly and the fire quickly spread; so that it was not long before the jaunch had been burned to the water's, edge. g Mr. Potter was unable to rescue his coat, which contained some valuable papers; in fact, nothing on the boat was saved. The launch was a total| loss. It was valued at $800. Mr.:and Mrs, Potter with his son, Howard, and daughter, Jennie, are camping along the river in a small cot- tage and two tents. ‘There are nine in the part; DIED IN NORWICH. Frank J.
