Name Street City AIDING REVENUE AGENTS TO ROUND UP DEALERS A. S. Spalding Ordered to New York To Aid in Spreading Federal Drag- net. A. S. Spalding is in New York, hav- ing been ordered there by the internal revenue department at Washington, and is a part of a force of more than 200 revenue agents engaged in arrest- ing tobacco dealers and manufactur- ers who have been defrauding the gov- ernment. Internal revenue agents working under the direction of Assistant Unit- ed States Attorney FEmilio Yaselll, spread out over New York Monday and gathered in between 75 and 80 ci- gar and cigarette manufacturers and tobacco dealers of the smaller type. At the same time similar raids were made in Brooklyn and Long Island City and the contents of the shops or factories run by the defendants seized by the government. The tobacco, ci- garettes and cigars confiscated are said to be worth $1,000,000. ‘William H. Osborn, commissioner of internal revenue, issued a statement in which he said that the internal stamp tax frauds disclosed through the arrests extend over a pediof of from 10 to 15 years and represent a loss to the government of millions of dollars in internal revenue taxes. Through the prosecution of the deal- ers and manufacturers Iinvolved the sovernment hopes to recover a great part of this sum in fines. Commissioner Osborn regards the alleged activities of the defendants as part of a gigantic conspiracy to de- fraud the government through the wholesale refilling of cigar boxes with- out cancelling the revenue stamps, by 1sing counterfeit stamp tax bands on the boxes and by selling leaf tobacco without registering it. Through these means of evading the tobacco tax laws the defendants cheated the government out of about $3 on every 1,000 cigars. The de- fendants dealt for the most part among Italians and other foreigners. JUDGE SUSTAINES DEMURRER Decision in Case of Bass vs. Symington and Stevens Handed Down in Superior Court Tuel.dny—Argumh Made in Donnelly— -Pragt Suit. In the superior court at New Lon- don on_ Tuesday Judge Milton A. Shumway handed down a decision in the case of Simon Bass vs. Frederick Symington and Robert Stevens, all of this city, sustaining a demurrer filed by the plaintiff. The suit arose over a quarrel be- tween the plaintiff and defendants some months ago. The defendants were charged with taking the Bass boy some distance from his home in an automobile and binding him, hand and foot, and then leaving him to his own resources. When the case was brought up in the criminas wuperior court the charges against Symington and Stevens were nolied. The Bass boy, through his legal guardian, has brought suit against Symington and Bass in a civil action, claiming damages of $5,000. The de- fendants brought a counter claim to the effect that the suit brought by Bass was malicious and intended to defame their character. A demurrer was filed by the plain- tiff that the matter set forth in the counter claim was of an independent character and in no way connected with the subject matter in the plain- tiff’s compiaint and was not necessary for a full determination of the rights in the case. Judge Shumway sustain- ed the demurrer on these grounds. Jury Could Not Agree. When the case of Dudley St. C. Don- nelly against George H. Pratt of this city was called up, Mrs. Donnelly, wife of the plaintiff, was recalled to the witness stand. The complainant in the case is seeking $5000 damages for personal injuries and damages to his automobile as the result of a col- lision on North Main street, near the tannery, in this city some months ago. Harold Hoffman of Bridgeport, an automobile demonstrator, who was op- erating the Donnelly machine at tife time of the accident, was also recalled and corroborated Mrs. Donnelly’s tes- timony. Both sides then rested and Attorney James of this clty made the first ar- Zument for the plaintiff. He was fol- lowed by Attorneys Perkins and Brown, counsel for the defense, and Attorney Hadlai A. Hull made the closing _argument. The jury took the case and returned to the court room at 6 o'clock the foreman_stating that they could not agree. Judge Shumway excused them until this (Wednesday) morning when they will endeavor to reach an agree- ment. DARIEN RESIDENTS FIND FAULT WITH WATER SUPPLY Have Petitioned the Pub!

Of Late Years W ant and P a Church Attend- ceful Citizen. Lees Summit, Mo., March 21.—Cole Younger, notorious outlaw of border days, but of late years a devout church attendant and peaceful citizen, died at his home here tonight after a lingering iliness. He was 72 years of age and | unmarried. Cole Younger was one of the last of the members of the notorious robber bands that infested western Missouri during and after the Civil war. He was a member of the Quantrell band of guerillas and with his two brothers took part with the “James boys” in bank and train robberies in Missour and neighboring states that netted the looters more than a hundred thousand dollars. The leading members of these bands are dead, some at the hands of the law, some by suicide and others from natural causes. Younger after a long term'in the penitentiary became a law abiding Missouri citizen. Cole was the oldest of the Younger boys.” The father, Col. Harry W. Younger, came to Missouri from Kentucky be- fore the war. He was a strong union man, though a slaveholder. He settled near Lees Summit, 20 miles from Kansas City, where Cole was born in 1844. Colonel Younger was murdered by one of the bands of lawless gueril- las that infested the Missouri-Kansas border in war times. The sons said their father was slain by Kansans for the purpose of robbery. They immedi- ately took up arme against the north. They joined Quantrell’'s guerillas and hadtheir part in the memorable sack- ing of Lawrence, Kas. ‘When the war was over they and the Jameses became outlaws. Among the notorious robberies of the decade fol- lowing the war that were laid at their door were: The raid on the Liberty, Mo., bank in 1866. One bank defender shot dead and $72,000 stolen. The looting of a Russellville, Ky. bank in 1868 for $17,000. The Gallatin, Mo., bank robbery of 1868, in which the cashier was shot and killed. Raids of Lexington and Savannah, Mo., banks in 1867. Ten thousand dollars stolen from the Kansas City Fair association in 1871 while 1,000 persons looked on. The Corydon, La. bank robbed of $40,000 the same year. A dozen other sensational robberies for which the Younger and James boys were blamed were carried out success- fully before the three Younger broth- ers were captured in Minnesota after a raid on a bank at Northfleld, Minn,, in 1876, in the coyrse of which Cashler Haywood was killed. The Youngers were shot many times in battles with a posse, but finally were taken alive after a battle at Shieldsville, Minn. Cole and his brothers pleaded guilty and were sentenced to prison for life. They entered the penitentiary at Still- water, Minn.,, and became model pris- oners. Bob died in the penitentiary in 1889. Cole and James Younger were three Suits, Formally Coats, paroled in 1901. The next year James shot himself, leaving a note ascribing his action to a refusal of the parole board to permit him to marry the girl he loved. After Cole was paroled he was forced by Minnesota law to live in that state for three years. Then he returned to Missouri and settled down in a vine- covered cottage which he bought for a niece in Lees Summit, the scene of his boyhood days. For a time he was con- nected with a show, and later went on the lecture platform and became a good citizen. In August, 1913, Younger was con- verted to religion at a revival meeting and became an active church worker. 've led an adventurous, turbulent he sald. “The war brought on hate and strife and killing around here. I have been blamed for a lot of It with which I had nothing to do. They miurdered my father and I was launch- ed into the life of shooting and re- prisals and rough riding, winding up with 25 years in the penitentiayr. I was brought up in a Christian home. Now I'm an old man and I've come by God's mercy back to the place of my childhood to end my days.” SCOPE OF CHASE FOR VILLA WIDENS (Continued from Page One) that he could not well spare any of those for the operations In Mexico, because it was equally necessary to guard the frontier. Scores of demands are being made at General Funston's headquarters for protection against bandit raids by farmers and citizens of towns along the border. All Available Troops on Duty. ‘With the exception of four and one- third regiments of infantry, two regi- ments of cavalry and what amounts to about a regiment and a half of fleld artillery, all troops of the regular United States army are either already on the border and in Mexico, or are on foreign service. This does not include the coast artillery corps or all en- gineer corps, signal corps companies and field hospital and ambulance com- panies. $20,000 for Payment of Guides. General Funston was advised from Washington today that $20,000 had been placed to his credit for the pay- ment of the services of guides, scouts, interpreters and other civillans it might become advisable to employ. Already General Pershing 1is using many Americans as scouts. They are men esaid to be famillar with every trail and water hole in that part of Mexico. No Report from Pershing.

WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IS AT A STANDSTILL. Mounted Couriers May Be Used to Carry Despatches. Columbus, N. M., March 21.—Wire less communication between the Unit- ed States and General Pershing’s pu- nitive expedition in northern Chihua- hua was at a standstill tonight, it was officially announced from military headquarters tonight. It was ascer- tained that the army wireless station at Casas Grandes fafled shortly before 6 o'clock, the only remaining line of communication being by an army fleld telegraph wire which had been practi- cally useless for several days because it has been cut in a number of places between Columbus and its terminus, 30 _miles south of the border. If the break in the wireless is not repaired shortly, it was said it would be necessary to depend on mounted couriers to carry despatches. Line Cut in 28 Places. Major W. R. Sample, commandant here, announced that it was discovered today that the fleld telegraph line had been cut in 28 places, eight miles of wire being carried away in one place. He pointed out, howeven, that it was possible, since a large part of the wire was strung along the ground at the side of the roadway, that some of the breaks had been caused by the pass- ing of trucks over them. He asserted also that previously the wireless sta- tion here had experienced some diffi- cuity in operating at night because it uses the same wave lengths as the large stations at Arlington, Va., San Francisco and Horses Suffering from Heat. That horses and mules with the American expeditionary force in Mex- ico are suffering from heat was indi- cated in reports received at the mili- tary base here tonight from veterinari- ans with the expedition. These assert- ed that 12 mules were missing and requested that a consignment of horse clippers be sent by motor train at one; to used in relleving the ani- mals. GENERAL FUNSTON ASKS FOR MORE TROOPS To Send Into Mexico to Assist in the Pursuit of Villa. San Antonio, Tex., March 21.—Gen- eral Frederick Funston asked the war department today for moré troops to send into Mgxjco to assist General Perehing in 'hls operations against Francisco Villa. General Pershing yes- terday suggested that another regiment be sent to him, and today General Funston asked the department for "hl! he characterized as an adequate orce. It was announced at General Fun- ston’s headquarters that the Fifth cav- alry, one quadron of which is at Fort Meyer, Va., another at Fort ven- worth, Kas, and the Fort third at COATS, SUITS and Misses’ Apparel for Spring are We should appreciate a visit of in- spection, knowing that we have much of unusual interest, including DRESSES Thursday L Friday in Women's this Spring’s Blouses Sheridan, Ill, would be brought to the border at once and sent forward along General Pershing’s line of communica=, tion to Casas Grandes. Whether hel had asked for more troops, General Funston would not say. The only reason given for strengthe ening General Pershing’s force, known by the public_generally to be consid- erably more than 4,000 men, was that Pershing’s field of operations had be- come so extended that his main line: of communication and the subsidiary lines were weaker than they ehould be. “Merely a precautionary move,” was the way General Funston answered qGuestions as to his motives in asking' more troops.
