AMENDMENTS TO THE
CONSTITUTION CARRIED
LITTLE 1ST ERE ST AND A LIGIIT
VOTE THROUGHOUT
THE STATE.
Edwin W. Higgins, Republican, of Nor
wich, Elected Congressman to Suc
ceed Frank B. Brandegee Mayor
Thayer, of the Same City, Hi Demo
cratic Opponent, Makes Good Ram but
la Defeated by Majority of About 800
Complete Turnover In Waterbury.
The little town elections of Connec
ticut yesterday were greatly complicat
ed by the entire state voting on the
question of adoption of two constltu-d
tional amendments, and of the electors
in the Third congressional district
choosing a successor to Frank J. Bran
degee, who in May last was elected
United States senator by the general
assembly. In the latter instance Ed
win W. Higgins, a lawyer of Norwich,
republican, was elected to congress
over Charles F- Thayer, mayor of the
earns city, who had the democratic
nomination, the majority with several
towns missing being about 1,800. The
Interesting feature of this contest was
that Mayor Thayer carried his own
city,, which is strongly republican,
and which went that way in the two
elections by 546 votes majority on most
of the town officers. Mr. Thayer ran
well in many of the smaller towns, but
liis margins In these were easily wiped
out by the-large margins' in towns
which stood fast by Mr. Higgins. Two
years ago Congressman Brandegee car
ried the district by over four thousand
Votes, while last fall his majority was
Jiearly two thousand larger. The vote
In the district to-day was light and
the republicans suffer more In this re
Bpect than did their opponents. The
vote over the entire state was light.
Both constttulonal amendments were
carried according to the incomplete re
turns, that permitting the use of voting
machines at state and national elec
tions being adopted probably toy a ra
tio of 3 to 1, while the vote on the sec
ond .question that of having binennlal
elections of town officers being fairly
close, but - not to the extent that
would indicate its rejection. So indif
ferent were most of the towns on the
amendments that 'the count of these
ballots was delayed until the last thing
by the officials, and the indlcaions Were
that the total vote would not be known
until the results are officially canvassed
at the state capitol on October 17,; when
the governor will proclaim the changes
In the state constltuion.
Many of he towns had questions of
their own to decide local matters af
fecting either town,' finances or town
administration Dut most or them vot
ed on the question of acceptance of the
act providing 'for free text books for
public school, scholars. Many towns
did not like thi s idea and Rejected the
proposition, the burden of argument
of the opponents being that the giving
of free text books meant the raising of
more money by taxation.
Two towns, which are within the lim
its' Of the city of the same name New
Britain and Stamford voted on the
matter of consolidation of town and
city governments which In effect means
the abolition of an old fashioned form
of dual government. New Britain de
cided to wipe' out the town government
while Stamford decided adversely as
the result of a long period of agitation
against consolidation. In 'the town
election In New Britain Samuel Baa
eett, a democrat, mayor of the city,
who has been first selectman of the
town as well was shorn of half his
political honors by being defeated for
the town office.

Island of Malta a herd of sixty-eight
milking goats. These animals have ar
rived in New York and are now in

distributed throughout the stations in
the different states. In a statement
Issued Secretary Wilson says: "The
milking goat has been neglected in the

tirely free from tuberculosis. Their
milk Is peculiarly adopted to children,
resembling human milk more than that
of any other animal. Itis also valua
able for invalids. People who cannot
keep a cow may keep a goat."
A herd was selected by G. F. Thomp
son, a special agent of the department.
During the voyage across the Atlantic

MISSING SECURITIES -ARE
AIL RECOVERED
YOUNG LEONARD'S FATHER
TURXS OVER REMAIXISG
$50,000 WORTH.
Three Hundred Thousand Dollars of

self His Story- That He Carried Out

Evidently True.
New York, Oct. 2. By the confession
of Henry A. Leonard, a young clerk
In the employ of Halle and Stieglitz,
brokers, at No. 30 Broad street, the
mystery of the robbery on Wednesday
last of $359,000 worth of securities from
the National City bank was cleared
up to-day. Leonard, who lives with his
parents at No. 686 East One Hundred
and Thirty-sixth street, was arrested
yesterday and kept in close confinement
while the detectives continued their
search for the missing seourlties, every
dollar of which was receovered to-day.
The prisoner, who is only twenty-four
years old, and who had previously
borne the reputation of an industrious
and thoroughly reliable clerk, made the
statement in his eqnffssion that he
had planned and carried out his scheme
of forgery and robbery, not from any
criminal motive, but solely to show
by what a simple device the elabor
ate safeguards of New York banks
could be set at naught. That this state
ment, is true is in a measure corrobor
ated by the facts in thecase, and is the
belief of the young man's employers
by whom he was highly esteemed.
Soon after the theft Leonard mailed a
package containing $300,000 in securities
to the residence of Dyer Pearl,. sen(pr
member of the firm of Pearl & Co., by
whom they were owned. The package
was received by Mr. Pearl yesterday.
To-night's Leonard's father turned ov
er to the police the remaining $69,000 In
stocks and bonds, which he said had
been found in a wardrobe in his house,
where, his son had said after his arrest,
he had secreted them. The first clue'
that led to Leonard's arrest was ob
tained When the detectives had traced
the rubber stamp maker whom Leonard
3iad employed to make the certification
stamp used in the check he presented
at the National City bank. As a model
for the stamp he gave the maker an
old certified checks .bearing a fragment
of the .signature of Halle & Stieglitz,
and also a memorandum in his own
hand, which was identified by fellow
clerksi ' "7.
Leonard was held in the Tombs po
lice court in $50,000 bail for further
examination. On leaving the court room
on his ' way to prison he said, In re
sponse to a question, "I did it oni a
bet."

MILITARY CMPAICK
AGAINST VENEZUELA
ONE MAT BE NECESSARY TO
BRING CASTRO TO HIS
SENSES.
Well Known Fact in Army Circles That
the General Staff Has Been Making
a Thorough and Special Study of the
Country Washington and Paris
Seriously Considering Troublous Con
ditions In the South American Repub
lic Looking for Way to Make Castro
Give Justice to Foreigners.
Washington, Oct 2. Venezuela! and
her troublous conditions are now the
subject of earnest consideration by the
Washington and Paris governments.
Just from Paris with full Instructions,
M. Jusserand, the French ambassador.
called at the state department to-day
and was in conference with Secretary
Root for half an hour. Venezuela was
the main ' subject under consideration,
special atentlon being given to Pres
ident Castro.' ! To-day's conference is
the first of a series which may be ex
pected on this subject and was of a
preliminary 'nature. At, Its conclusion
the announcement was made that the
Venezuelan situation had not entered
on "an imminently critical" stage. No
course of action was agreed upon to
day and none was proposed- What the
relative attitude of the two aggrieved
nations s toward "Venezuela was in
formally discussed. ,
M, Jusserand made It plain that
while France proposed to protect the
rights of her citizens in Venezuela as
elsewhere , throughout the world, the
French government will continue Its
traditional policy of courteous recogni
tion of the speoial Interest of this' coun
try in a question like this which affects
another American republic
It is a well known fact not only in
army' circles but throughout the dlplo'
matic corps that the general staff of
the army has been making a thor
ough and special study of Venezuela
"from; a military standpoint, but this
government as well as France appre
ciates the difficulties of an, Inland ex
pedition to the Venezuelan capital, even
should a critical turn of events war
rant the serious consideration of such
a move, .At the same time France,
with the remainder of the European
nations realizes that a naval demon
station off La Guayra, If such a course
should, ever be- determined on, .Is not
Castro to yield, because of the distance
of Caracas from the sea.
In diplomatic circles the significance
of to-day's conference Is attributed not
so much to its direct results, but - as
evincing the firm purpose of the Amer
ican and French governments, individ
ually perhaps, -but none the less effec
tively, to protect the rights of their cit
izens in Venezuela. It is understood
that France is not primarily seeking
assurance frofn - Washington that - a
French naval demonstration against
Venezuela will be approved 'here,
though such assurance, it Is stated on
high authority, would be vouchsafed.
What France desires to find, and this
desire Is ' thoroughly shared by the
Washington government, is an effec
tive means of Insuring justice for for
eigners in Venezuela. Mr. Jusserand
will continue, his policy of discussing
quite frankly with the Washington
government the grievances Of his coun
try against Venezuela, that there may
be no misunderstanding of thA motives
of the two clalm'ant powers.

Declares Judge Gray, Who Voted

District Attorney Jerome Retorts
That the Intimation Is as Contempti
ble as It Is Impudent.
Albany, N. Y., Oct. 2. The case of
Albert T. Patrick, who since March 26,
1902, has been under conviction of the
murder of the aged millionaire, William
Marsh Rice, in New York city In 1900,
came again "before the state court, of
appealp this afternoon In an aspect as
remarkable as any of the previous
phases of this -case,' which-throughout
has been one of the most extraordinary
in the criminal history of the United
Sates. , ' . . .. .-: .
. Patrick's counsel, former' United
States Senator David B Hill, presented
a brief in support of his motion for a
re-argument of the case which was .de
cided against Patrick by the court last
June by a vote of 4 to 3- In the course
of this brief he points out that a son of
Judge .John Clinton Gray, one of the
Judges of the court of appeals and one
of those who voted against the reversal
of Patrick's conviction, was an assist,
ant district attorney of New York
county and participated In the prosecu.
tiort of Patrick and that therefore he
should not have sat in the case. .
'- The opposing brief of District Attor
ney Jerome, drawn, It Is said by the
late ex-Justice Judson S. Landon, a
short time before his recent death, and
filed by Assistant District Attorney
Howard Gans, characterized Senator
Hill's comment upon Judge Gray's par
ticipation in the Judgment of the court
as being such as "no degree of emi
nence in counsel could render respect
able." "The suggestion that Judge Gray vio
lated the proprieties in taking part in
this case is as contemptible as it is im
pudent," the district attorney's; brief
declares." ' " ".' - ! . 3

fully carried on,' and Dr. White will j
take that opportunity to extend an In- j
vltatlon to visit the hospital. ,
