NOANK MEN ACCUSED OF TRAITOROUS ACTS Station Is Said- to Been Located. A rumor has been In circulation to- day that Federal officers had arrested at Natnk a resident of that village and his two sons for maintaining a wireless or signa! plant in the woods near Noank. People living on the outskirts of Groton claim to have seen on numerous occasions red signals flashing as if transmitting messages in _code. The lights were in such a position that the parties seeing them could not understand why signals should be flashed from that place. Inquiry at the naval ase brought no_information on the subject. The man claimed to have been ar- rested is a German by hirth and is employed at the plant of the XNew London Ship & Engine company in Groton. It is stated that recently he was sked if he was going to fizht for Germany in case this conntry went to war and replied that he could do more damasze by remaining hera. The place at which the wireless sta- tion is said to have heen located is some distance from the man’s home. The twireless outfit is said t6 be sométhing entirely new. Other outfits in the vicinity were ordered to be dis- mantled by Collector McGovern some months azo. The man in custody of Noank.

Za- briskie now of Mexico City letters of introduction to Ir. and Mrs. Howland, resident there, their home while in the states being at Daniel- on with Mrs. Howland's relatives. Howland's understanding of ns in Mexico gained from liv- condit: |ing there more than a generation and his sincere regard for Mexicans, with appreciation of all that is best in their character, renders him an authority on many troublesome questions. A Roston paper publishes a comprehen- sive article written June 1 by Dr. Howiand on the new constitution drafted by Carranza and his “constitu- ent congres: The new constitution follows the old in the main but with many amplifications and additions. One, of its articles read: “It is necessary to be a Mexican by birth in order to exercise the functions of a minister of any religious creed In Mexico,” and shows that “serious interference in political matters is feared.” Politically everything here the center seems perfectly quiet. Many depredations are committed by ban- dits, but organized opposition has broken down. Up to the end of May over five hundred and fifty miilions of in the “bercruz’ flat mbner has been withdrawn from circulation. Metal- lc currency is constantly increasing and business is improving. The Amer- ican dollar suffers a dijscount of nearly ten per cent., due to the high price of silver. Things have turned out i nMexico better than American residents there had hoped for. Many elements in the situation are fraught with possibili- ties for making trouble but if one looks on the brighter side there |is much to encourage. BROKE OUT OF GROTON JAIL Man Arrested at Midway Made His Escap A man arrested at Midway and lock- ed up at Groton Sunday night made his escape Monday morning about seven o'clock. He was in charge of Gilbert Stebbins who had gone home to breakfast. The lock which fastened the door of the cell was broken. Some thought it had been twisted off by a bar but nothing was in sight to suggest this except a hatchet such as is used by men engaged in shingling. This is the second escape from the local calleboose within a compara- tively short time. The man in ques- tion received a niht's lodging and a breakfast at the expense of the town.

Slowly, but perhaps surely, the Third Company, Coast Artillery of this city is sailing, on even keel, toward the haven where it would be the full strength of 109 enlisted men, war strength. Monday evening two more receruits were received. The station in the Thayer building Monday night was in charge of Sergeant Bossey and tonight (Tuesday) Captain William R. Denison will be in charge. On Friday night of this week Ser- gént Bossey and _ Corporal Toomey will visit Baltic for recrulting pur- poses. July 25 is the date that has been set for the Coast Artillery companies of the state to be called into the serv- ice. The original orders were for the calling out of the artillerymen on July 15, but on_Saturday notice was re- ceived at Hartford from Washington that the date had been advanced un- til_the 25th. Thus far there has been no intima- tion received in regard to the place where the coast artillervmen will go into camp. Tt is expected however, that within a few davs definite orders will he received from headquarters. Tn explanation of the postpone- ment of the federaiizantion of the Connecticut Coast _Artillery, General Cole said that he believed it was he- ing done to ensure that all the dif- ferent contingents of the Connecticut ational Guard be drafted into the federal service at the same time and in order to maintain the present ational Guard of- ave heen sworn This plan takes legal distinetion “drafting.” and August bringing the service.

Little Girl Ran Out on to Street in Path of the Car. Lucy Fontonell, the 8 year old daughter of Louis Fontonelli, of Mys- tic, was almost instantly kiiled about 7.15 Monday evening when she was run over by the Old Mystic trolley. The little girl ran out from behind the hosehouse which stands near the track when the car was about 20 feet away. Motorman Raymond Wheeler applied ‘the emergency brake, blew his whistle and shouted to the littie one. She had almost crossed the track when the car hit her and passed over her body. The car came to a_stop about eight feet beyond the body of the girl, a remarkable stop on the part of the motorman. Dr. Miles and Dr. Congdon were notified, but the child was dead before they arrived. Medical Examiner Lit- tle of Stonington was summoned and viewed the body, giving permission for its removal. Examiner Little placed no blame on the motorman af ter examining several witnesees. Dr. Little said that it was one of those sad but unavoidable accidents that oceur. Motorman Wheeler was unstrung by the accident and another motorman had to finish his run for him. The car was in charge of Conductor Sam- ue] Lamb. WEDDING Fitzpatrick-Collagan.

WOODEN CAR PASSES. | Building 6f Them for Trains Has| Practically Ceased.
