JAPANESE GARDEN Laid Out and Beautified Near Preston Public Library and Soldiers’ Monu- ment by Charles H. Brown of Nor- wich. For some time Charles H. Brown of Norwich has been engaged in creating and beautifying a Papanese garden at the Preston public library and soldiers’ monument, which he and his brother, Judge Lucius Brown, gave to that town, . planned the garden to be a better ap- proach and adjunct to the library and Brown said Friday that he had soldiers’ monument. He purchased the land on the highw adjoining the grounds, 70x100 feet, to keep it from possibly falling some time into unde- sirable hands, when it might prove a| nuisance. Mr. Brown conceived the plan and idea of ornamenting the grounds so as to be doubly sure a sort of park or garden and annex to the the library would be safeguarded and at the same time be a village improve- ment. The entire grounds occupy a commanding situation to- form an ap- proach on a rising grade. There are three terraces. the upper one accent- uated by rising fir trees; middle the grounds of monument and library on the commanding site of the residence of General Mott, known and | visited here by General Washington. The next, or lower terrace, is. the an- nex or purchased land, with walls tak- en away and graded off, has been made into a sort of ornamental or Japanese park or garden. This and the higher terrace are laid out with 300 feet of ornamental cedar and rustic fences, ornamental gateway entrances. There are a couple of octagonal rustic hov an ornamental arch of approach inside, | orchard, rustic seats about the center area, artistic rose arbors and a cover- ed pavilion 12x20 in the rear or back ground, all intended as groundwork later on for possible artictic adornment with threes, shrubs, vines, rose bushes and the like. The soldiers’ monument and Preston City library were built in -1898 on_a commanding site. The monument is erected in grateful memory of the 150 citizens of the town of Preston who served their country in arms in the war for the preservation of the Union. It marks the dwelling place of General Samuel Mott, eminent citizen, upright magistrate, soldier of the revolution, and the friend of Washington. Suit for $2,000 Against New London. Mre.

Officer Delaney and Constable Lambert Restrain a Husband from Beating His Wife. Constable Gus Lambert was stand- ing on the corner of North Main and Roath streets on Friday evening about 9 oclock, waiting for a car to take him to his home in Occum, when from the darkness near at hand he heard a woman's screams. It challenged the chivalry of the able constable and at once he started for the center of dis- turbance. He got near enough to see a big burly chap beating his slender wife. The man desisted when the con- stable approached and prepared to show fight. Meanwhile Officer Delaney had also heard the woman’s outcry and he was on his way to the spot. The terrified woman ran for the brass but- tons and begged for protection. The officer got there just in time to help out Constable Lambert, who might have had a rugged fight on his hands, for the man was just about as husky as the big constable, and he was forti- fled in addition with plenty of spirits. The constable pinned the chap against the fence and then Officer Delaney made fast to him and resistance, other than verbal, was useless. The prisoner did make the air lurid with his remarks to the officer and constable on their way in to the police station. The man gave his name as August Sikorski, aged 44, and his wife told Captain Twomey that she was on her way to her home at 200 North Main street when she met her drunken hus- J band. He was in a fighting mood and | he started to-beat her when she | screamed. It was in a secluded, dark spot, and it was fortunate for her that help was near. Mrs. Sikorski is a German woman and bears the marks of refinement, although her husband's assault had so terrified her that she begged that he should not be allowed to come home last night. The man was locked up and kept so by Captain Twomey and the woman departed full of relief and thanks. I. W. W. THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE | Investigation of the Riot of Unem- ployed at Los Angeles. TLos Angeles, Cal, Dec. 26.—The po- lice were justified in dispersing the meeting yesterday of 1,000 unemployed men at the Plaza at a cost of the life of one, the arrest of 75 and the club- bing of many others, according to the members of the public welfare com- mittee of the city council. That decision was reached late to- day after an official investigation of the affair which convinced the com- mittee that the riot was started by the idle men themselves—Industrial Work- ers of the World and Mexicans 4nd other foreigners when the police at- tempted to stop a public meeting which was being held without permit, con- iraay to the clty ordinances. It was decided to issue complaints tomorrow, charging disturbances of the peace against 32 of the 75 men arrest- ed, it being the belief that it would be easier to obtain convictions upon that charge than upon rioting, A more serious charge—probably as- sault with a deadly weapon—will be placed against Jesus Bovia, the Mexi- can accused of having stabbed Police Lieutenant H, R, W. Krege in the neck after having knocked him down, During the councll's investigation a large number of witnesses were heard. They included officers who were bruis- ed with stones thrown by the rioters and some of the leaders of the dis- | turbanc Among the latter was Pe- | ter Castorina, an Industrial Worker of | the World, kho accused the pelice of | having kicked and beaten the Mexicang about the Plaza. SEEKS PROTECTION FOR JAPANESE IN MEXICO Japanese Ambassader Makes Request of United States. 1 ‘Washington, Dec, 26.—The situation of foreigners in Mexico who have incurred the ill-will of the rebels is again giving some concern to slate department officials. Today the Jup- anese ambassador called upon Acting Secretary Moore to request that the United States government do what it can to protect Japanese in El Paso and In other border points. There is some apprehension that these Japanese may be made to feel the weight of resentment by the con- stitutionalists because the federals are receiving supplies of arms and ammu- mition from Japan, although it has already been pointed out that thes goods are being delivered under con tracts made by Japanese merchants last April, Acting Secretary Moore promised to instruct the American consuls in the rebel country to extend the same care to Japanese as they wauld te —Y¥ou breathe it. ‘When mediate and by Using Hyomet, Hyomel i3 nature’s true ici o0y cat There 18 10 Swicdin Uusiug this treatment “you d effect- vy air cells * of the throat, nose jungs, the catarrhal germs are destreyed——quick and sure relief results. | Hyomel often restores health m{ ehronic cases that had given uv all hepe of recovery.

Although the vessels of the international fleet off the Pacific coast of Mexico have made visits to most of the important ports during the past few days, no alarming reports have been recelved from them con- cerning foreigners.

Not Séen Since It Was Placed on His Writing Desk. Rome, Dec. 26—All the evidence thus far adduced concerning the black box which was taken from the room of Cardinal Rampolla the day he died tends to show the cardinal was fearful that it would be tampered with. The box, which is believed by some per- sons to have contained the last will and other papers of Cardinal Rampol- la, was placed under his pillow by the cardinal the day.he was forced to take to his bed with the selzure which shortly afterwards caused his death. Boon after the cardinal died and while the body was being moved from the bed to be prepared for the coffin, the black box fell to the floor. Some person picked it up and laid it on the cardinal’s writing desk. Since that time all is a mystery concerning the box. No one can be found who has| seen it. Whether it disappeared before | during, or after the stream of peo- ple were admitted to the death cham- ber to view the body of Cardinal Ram- polla 15 not known.

Political Faction Thus Shows Hostility to Government. ‘Washington, Dec. 26.—Tt is under- stood by the officials here that the elaborate welcome to Senor de la Bar- ra by the populace of Tokio was par- ticularly designed to express the dis- sent of one of the Japanese political | factions from the official reception | planned by the government. In his capacity of special envoy from Mexico to acknowledge the participa- tion of Japan in the Mexican centen- nial, diplomatic etiquette provides for certuin formal functions in honor of Senor de-=. Barra. The Japanese gov- ernment, it was explained here today, had adhered strictly to the regular court ceremonial in such cases pre- scribed. A faction opposed to the gov- ernment, however, arranged a recep- tion of its own, including a torchlight procession, speech-making and sword presentation. NEW HAVEN MYSTERY BEING UNRAVELLED. Young Woman in Case Probably Run Down by a Taxicab. New Haven, Conn, Dec. 26—The police tonight believe that after un- ravelling many entangling threads and tracing down several conflicting stories they have reached the solution of the mystery of the young woman, Miss Anna Brache, who was taken to the New Haven hospital last night in an unconscious condition. The first in- formation was that a taxicab driver, who brought the woman to the insti- tution, had found her in the street, bleeding from injuries and with her | clothes torn. Her shoes and hat were missing. Today, upon the strength of a story told by the young woman, Frank Som- ers, aged 24, was detained by the police, but tonight he was ailowed to go free. No charge had been made against him. The girl said she had attended a dance and had accepted an invitation from a man whom she did not know to ride home in his automobile. Somers was taken before the girl in the hospital. The girl denied that she ever saw him, but later she told an opposite story. In the meantime Somers furnished a sufficient alibi to obtain his release. Then the woman said the man was a taxi driver whose name was “Rob- bie” By a comparison of descriptions of both the man and the car, the police went to a Dixwell avenue taxicab com- pany and learned that a driver by the name of Dominick Daubi had been em- ployed on Christmas night but he i now missing. Inquiry at his home re- vealed the fact, according to the pelice, that he had told his mother he had hit a girl with his autemobile and was go- ing away for a few days. Meanwhile the police stumbled on an accidental clue that seems the most promising so far.
