Used Them in Bombs and Shells— Trouble When Shipments Stopped. It was the efforts of both Germans and allies to control the output of the Middlesex Chemical company, of Chester, the New York Tribune said Thursday that led to a petition on Wednesday for receivership by Harry Detrich, of Hartford, representing the German interests, and a $500,000 suit by James F. Shaw, of Haverhill, Mass., represerting the allies’ side. The Germans have been securing the picric acids and other chemicals manufactur- ed hy the ccmpany and using them in Zeppelin botnbs and gas shells. Shaw, who_is said to represent a New York syndicate headed by August Belmont. on behalf of the allles contracted for 2,000 tons of picric acid, and shipments for the Germans stopped. Responding to Detrich's petition, Judge Tuttle, of the superior court, in Hartford. yvesterday appointed Colon- el George Pope temporary receiver of the company. Shaw alleges in his suit that the company has failed to deliver acid as contracted for. He says &he contract called for acid valued at $480,- 000. A director of the Middlesex Chem- ical company said last night that the appointment of Colonel Pope as re- celver would be followed by a friendly reorgarization which would involve the rajsing of additional capital by New Yoark financial interests. He admitted that the company had been unable to live up to some of its acid contracts, which precipitated the receivership. The organization of the company was completed last August, with a capitalization of $1,000,000. August Belmont & Co, were pointed fiscal agents. DOCTOR'S CHECK COMES BACK. Business Men Are Still Speculating Over Their Apparent Losses. Thursday brought no new develop- ments in the interesting case of A. W. Harrington, who left town Wednesday afternoon apparently in hurried pur- suit of Dr. T. Vernon Wayte, who had eloped with his young wife. There ceme back to the Parker-Davenport company on Monday the check for $65 on the Corn Exchange bank, New York city, which was made out to Dr. Wayte and which Mr., Harrington endorsed, with the statement that the parties kad no account there. An interesting thing about the check is the endorse- ment by Dr. Wayte. There are two signatures, and they differ widely. One is in a scrawling, almost illegible hand, J. N. Wayte, M. D, while the other, which follows the name on the face of the check, is written out in a round, fine, almost womanish hand, Dr. J. Vernon Wayte. The hotel people believe that their loss is_more than covered by the bar- rels of sizing at Montville that Mr. Harrington made over to them before he left. The other business men are still speculating on their chances of getting their money back. Among the firme who joined the list of victims Thursday was the B. Chappell com- peny. A small check was cashed at the Boston store, but this one had been previously endorsed, on the strength of their knowledg of Mr. Har- rington, by Siek & Ring. Mr. Harring- ton while he was here told of the young woman stenographer to whom Dr. Wayte had given a check for her services. Her bill was about $10 or $12, he said, while the check was for $35. The girl paid the doctor the dif- ference. ap- AT THE CAVIS, Vaudeville and Photoplays. A sprightly and well arranged and really artistic offering is the contribu- tion that the Six Harvards made on Thursday when at the Davis the usual midweek change of bill was made. These musiclans with their singing and their work with violin, cornet and other instruments were readily granted applause by the discriminating. The Soul of a Woman was a striking story, told in symbolic fashion, of life and experience and suffering and tri- vmph, and Emily Stevens demonstrat- ed power and feeling in her role in this Intense story. The Pathe travel pic- tures pleased and it was a well round- ed bill which the usual large houses enjoyed. Watered and Skimmed Milk Expensive. Mrs. Minnie Pulser was before the borough court at Stafford Springs the other day, charged with having water- ed milk in_her possession with intent to sell and with having a can of skimmed milk without the designating label on her wagon with the other milk. It was her second offense. Judge Heald gave the minimum fine of $7 and costs, the total amounting to $13.38, for the first count, and made the second charge a fine of §7, holding over judg- ment pending no future complaints. The court called the attention of Mrs. Pulser to the leniency that it had en- tertained for her inasmuch as she was poor, but made it clear that a con- tinuance of her practice will necessi- tate a different course. Deputy Dairy and Food Commissioner Holt preferred the charges. Brought Here from Baltimore. The remains of Boleslaw Cimuchows- ki, 28 years of age, found dead on top of a fast freight train as it passed the Mount Royal station, Baltimore, Md., on Dec. 17, arrived in this city on Thursday morning and were taken in charge by Undertakers Shea & Burke. The dead man has parents, brothers and sisters residing in this city and his home is at No. 257 North Main street. As the fast freight went by the Mount Royal station the trainmaster saw the legs of a man protruding over the edge of a car. He signalled the conductor, the train was stopped and the body removed, A notebook with his name and ad- dress was found in his clothing by Coroner Hempel and inquiry led to his identification. It is believed that he boarded the train in the Camden yards and that his head struck the roof of Camden-Mount Royal tunnel. NEW PUMPER MET ALL TESTS Seagrave Motor Appnnhn Was in Continuous Operation for Four Hours Thursday and Engineer Charles R. Barker of New York City Found it Excelled All Re- quirements—Threw 775 Gallons at 200 Pounds|lowine: Pressure, 300 Gallons at 250 Pounds Pressure, 1 55 Gallons at 355 Pounds Pressure—Now Ready for City’s Use. For four hours or more on Thurs- day, from before 11.80 in the morning until 3.80 in the afternoon, the en; of the city's new Seagrave combina- tion pumper, chemical and hose car- rier, worked away continuously with- out a sign of strain or lack of power and smoothness and at the close of the exhaustive tests neer Charles R. Barker, of New York, the expert connected with the National ot Fire Underwriters, who came here to conduct the tests, was able to report the appartuy efficient and up to stand- ard in every respect, and in absolutely satisfactory condition to be turned over to the city for its use in fighting fires from now on. In the pumping tests, to which the greater part of the time was devoted, a capacity that exceeded by a comfort- able margin the requirements was noted by the engineer. The figures that were given out Thursday wefe unofficial, but they will not vary in any marked marked degree from the official figures which will come from the National Board of Underwriters In the course of the next week or ten days. The test was made on Falls avenue and started at 11.30. The first trial lasted half an hour and showed the efficiency of the engine and pump in when the stream was thrown up into ute at a 250 pounds pump pressure through a one inch nozale at the end of 300 feet of hose. Then with the pressure at 200 pounds, the pump threw water through the 300 foot line with a one and one-quarter inch noz- zle at the rate of 530 gallons every minute. There followed a two hour fest with two 150 foot lines siamesed into an Eastman deluge test and at 3 o'clock it was found that the appara- tus was respording as well to this test at that time as at the outset. With a one and one-half inch nozzle, the engine poured out 635 gallons of water at a pgessure of 165 pounds and 155 gallons ‘per minute at a pump pressure of 355 pounds per square inch. One of the final tests, and one of the most satisfactory was that with a one and three-quarter inch nozzle and the pressure at 124 pounds. Here the Seagraves pumper poured forth a volume of water that was found to measure 775 gallons a minute and when the stream wa sthrown up into the air it looked as if a small gey- ser had broken loose. The result of the official tests In general showed that the new apparatus is possessed of great power and flexibility and will be avilable for any fire that may occur, where on high elevation with reduced hydrant pressure or down in the low- er places where it will not have this disadvantage. In all waya it proved to be an eflicient fire fighting machine and the city officials, the visitors and the citizens commended the apparatus. By Automob Among the most Interested of the onlookers were the members of the F. L. Allen Hook and Ladder Co. of New London, by reason of the fact that they are to have a new Seagrave mo- tor apparatus in a few months. They came up by automobile, their party including Foreman Thofas Gragan, Treasurer Jeremiah J. L First Assistant Foreman George 24 members. The men of wich fire department showed the New Londoners all the working details of the apparatus. Other visitors present were Chief Rufus R. Fancher, Mechanic and En- gineer Samuel O. Nash, Loss Finder Willlam G. Foote and Engineer Pro- vost, of the New Haven fire depart- ment, who was in charge of the last pumper delivered by the Seagrave company to the New Haven fire de- partment Chief Arthur P.

Moving Pictures and Vaudevill Mary Pickford, the popular movie actress, was seen in the leading role of the Paramount feature story, Little Pal, at the Auditorium theatre on Thursday. The story had a pretty love tale running through it from beginning to end, the deep seated love of an In- dian maiden for a white prospector whom she thought unmarried. The ravages of fever attacked the pros- pector and at the risk of her own life Little Pal nursed him back to health again, only to discover that he was married. Another of the South Amer- ican travel pictures was shown, giving glimpses of the mountain rallway that rises thousands of feet in the air and which will some day connect New York with South American points. The third reel shown was The Magic Bon Bon, a Victor comedy. The Four Montana Girls presented an instrumental novelty for which they were given well merited applause, Fairbanks and Major were seen in singing and talking, and Frank O'Brien got a big hand for his comedy singing and story-telling.

Saved a Boy’s Life, But Father Forgot to Thank Rescuer and Scolded Boy Instead. Letter Carrier John L. Counihan was on the spot on Thursday after- noon on Franklin street opposite the Hopkins & Allen shop just in time to save the life of the 5 year old son of Frank Ferry, the grocer, by catching the grocer's horse by the head and bringing the wagon to a stop with the boy dangling at the horse's heels be- tween the shaft and the whiffletree. In some way the boy had been thrown into that position as the horse started off at a fast gait and the little fellow clung there in imminent danger from the hoofs of the horse. Letter Carrler Counihan was able to grab the horee by the bits, bringing him to a sudden halt, and the small boy dropped from his dangerous position unharmed. The father of the little fellow ap- parently hardly appreciated the peril his offspring had been in, for he began to blame the boy for starting up the horse, and overlooked the fact that some thanks might have been timely for the man who had rescued the boy from his dangerous position, BOCIETY WOMAN SEEKS DIVORCE.
