His' automobile| was under attachment at this time. About Dec. 1, 1912, the witness shid that he talked with Mrs. Rogers abous forming a partnership. and he denied that he told her that the money would “roll in." *I told her we had very good prospects. 1 told her I had the Spring- field Coach Works and the Mystic theatre,” The witness said that she that it wouldn't be. convenient to go in as she wanted to use her cash but that she was willing to go in if he could make ‘arrangements to finance it. / Foster said that he took the first! agreement. down to Mrs. Rogers | house on the night of Dec. 14 and that she asked him fo leave it so that she. could look it gver. He went %o her home the next day. with $2,000 in notes, all completed,—dated Dec. ‘15, 1921. There were'ihree notes for $500 each, two for $200 each and one for $100. There was-no' note in amouni of $300 in the bunch. Mrs. Rogers Wanted Change: The witness said that ne returned with a_check book that afternoon and Mrs. Rogers said that she wanted a new confract which would permit her ) to withdraw from the company if she | wished. So he drew up a new contract dated Dec, 15. The next day Mrs. Rog- ers wanted it changed and another was drawn up on the 16th which she signed. Two or three days later she wanted it changed again to record “in consideration of $1,” instead of $2,000. It wasn't changed again. Foster said that Mrs. .Rogers told him that in December she would have mortgages coming due and that she would have some money to use. On or about Lec. 20 she took six notes in her hand and looked them over She said she would have cash lat- e and she tock them back. She went to her st:ong box and took out the agreement snd gave it back to him He id that he considered the agreement off as he could not discount the notes. Foster said that Mrs. Rogers then de- troved lhe notes. The witness said that on Dec. 17, Mrs. Rogers endorsed a note for. $1,- 250 for him. It was endorsed at her home. The maker was Foster & Co., and ihe pavee was the Springfield Coach Co. Mrs. Foster was with him | the time. Foster said that he asked Mr: ers to endorse the note as he * he money” He told her stock.

WESTMINSTER HAS WORST FOREST FIRE IN STATE The fires of Sur.aay thee last week, including last . might be termed a real play in acts, occurring on Wednesday. iursday and Sunday. The cause of the first is undetermined. 1t started about 1) o'clock Wednesday morning, tae ames gaining ground and spre#dng ‘Ul TaDlUig. wsen Irom vi- rious parts rush-d to fignt it. But cre long, in spite of all opposition, aided by 4 sirong wind it leaved -across . Lithe Kover, surging, seething and writhing, #s it madiy roshed along its chesen way, heedless of all obstacles. The tel- pLones summoned help from all direc- iont. The church bell was rung for bours, under the supervision of Miss Russell, the ; teacher, by the pupils of Westminster Hill school, who also did good work as messengers, while several ot the lads helped at the fire, winning commendation from the fire wardens, Of these there were several; Canterbury’s own, calm, indefatigable, fearless, with his deputy; wardens from Scotland, Windham, Willimantic, Plainfield, - Lis- bou; the state and county wardens, and first and last 150 to 200 splendid fighters ignoring blistered hands and arms, and scorched and torn clothing. By night, the fire was seemingly conqiered; and yet, the next day, burst forth In seem- ingiy renewed fury, about noon; and the scenes of the first day wers con- tinued until far into the night. On one occasion, the houses on the main roaa were threatened. . And again, on the south road from Westminster Hill, sev- eral families had their most valuable possessions loaded Into vehicles of va- rious kinds, for quick remioval, if nee- essary. There were several of the ladiss who served sandwiches and coffee, to tired relays of workers, in their homes: and others who braved the terrors. of fire and right to carry coffee to the fighters. The area covered by the flames in the two days has been variously estimated ut from 1.500 to 3,000 acres.

Stoeckel of Connecti- cut in a letter to members of the stat. delegation in congress. The plan wa suggested as a substitute for one mov before congress which would put a fed- eral tax of two doliars on every motor Vehicle. Commissioner Stoeckel suggested that factory numbers issued by the govern- ment be affixed to automobiles uniferm- Iy at the top front right spring ham- mer and that the United States keep cHeck on cars by reuiring a duplicatt charter for every car manufactured or assembled, one copy to be filed with the federal government and the other with the state registering the car. “Th e following is a copy of Mr. Sttoeckel letter to each senator and congress- man: “Dear Congressman: May I place be- fore you how this department feels sbout the sé-calld Two Dollar Motor Tax.Bill now in the house? From the publicity which 1 have seen, it appears that this bill would require an addition! number to be placed -upon every motor vehicle in some essential part. We al- Feady' have numbers - enough on motor vehicles to identity any car whatever, provided: we know where. to look for it. About every motor vehicle manufactur has a different plage and a different sys- tem fér putting on ' factory numbers. These are stenciled, cut or put on in every possible .manner. <This does not prevent the thief from changing the number at his pleasure. From the num- ber. of requeats.we, get for. news engjne numbers and new factory numbers on cars that have been stolen, it is quite can. chance the An additional number 1l not aid us in any way. What is needed 'is a check on the changing Of numbers. There have been numerous - cases Whe cars with ' the Dproper factory number for the year and model have been presented to us, but .nl number at wilk. ehecking up we find that we have a fic- titious number ; in other words, the thief has used duplicate numbers, but the oth- er duplicates do not appear in the same jon of the country e My suggestion alf.g the lines of which an ef!ecflve Ml! can be drat!ed is as fol- es_the position of the manutacturer's number, requiring on each car a maker's number, regardless of whether,or not it | has. an engine number and require the manufacturer to assume such numbers are are #asigned to him by the federal government 50.that there will be a stand- ard system of isuing numbers: requiri theée numbers to be placed on a vital ‘paFt of }h:.ur vnsn n be seen with- e, gnd in such - of [such num- part. or partial- 3 pride of “attributes into the Wills Sainte Claire. will experience in this : hutnnewmtfmndluxwfim") 3 workmanship, we are hfld’"‘é eu-,mmly e Hmmmammmc&.r PHAETON...8478 COUPE...$3178 IMPERIAL SEDAN 4399 3 ROADSTER .. 2475 SEDAN .., 3475 TOWNCAR..i.. 480 , LIMOUSINE . . 83850 2.0.

The sug- -estion to check up the-federal number and to check up the, restration fs that the federal government require a federal | is charter for every motor vehicle when as- sembled and ready for delivery, the char- ter as issued to give alf the description | ri of the car. the numbers of its parts, etc.. under regular federal numbers, one copy of such charter to be delivered to the federal bureau and the other to the agent of the manifacturer at the time of shipment of the car, transfers there- after to be riders which, When proper- 1y executed. will transfer a car from the dealer to the purchaser. A transferrid- er from the first owner to the second may be provided, and so forth. until the | G; car is junked. The charter should be filed with the state registering .the mo- tor vehicle and the possession of - a charter which is flied when the car Is new mever reverts to the owndr of the car but remains in the files of the state where the car is registered. and when transfer of registration is ‘made from one state to another, the charter is trans- ferred to the other state also. All of the various items such as additional Dills: of sale and other transfers can b taken care of under this system. “3—fThe average life of a motof vehi- cle'is about five years. Applyinz this law only to mew cars would be simple. ts is all that is necessary because the. new car is the most attractive steal from the thief's standpoint, due to the neces- sarily low grice he receives for his work. “This is & brief outline of a pian which I am certaln will prevent the stealing of “cats. the shipping of them over rail- road or steamship lines and the dispo- sition & roglatration of them after the | theft, ‘and,"1t ‘adopted by congress how betore conxreua 1s striving and will prob- ably not accomplish. My plan in brief, would be to have some existing federal department n charge, with amthority to constitute each manufacturer - an agent to make new charters and “each state department an agent for transfers, with a central bureau at Washington for final check-up. “I will be glad to elaborate on this systerh 1f there i sufficient interest in congress to have it dome, and either Mr. Macdonald or I or both of us, will down to appear before the commit and explain It.
