Blakeman and a resident of Bridgeport has been "taken into custody upon a bench warrant issued in Brooklyn, N. Y., charging him with the embezzlement of $1,287. This arrest is but one of a series of startling episodes which have nurked the attempts of the police here to secure the custody of Powers, who as conservator of Blakeman estate, was removed at the instigation, of the heirs in favor of. Attorney C. M. New man in 1910, and has since tailed, it is alleged to make any accounting of the moneys which it is alleged have been fraudulently,, sequestered. Two warrants charging him with embezzlement had previously been served upon . him, one issued by the Bridgeport prosecutor and the other issued in New York at the request of Detective EdwarcJ . Cronan, . both of which were dismissed when he was arraigned In court. The latter re sulted in a sensational suit for $20, 000 for false arrest being filed by Powers against Detective Cronan, still pending in the New York court. Information leading to a knowledge of his whereabouts reached Bridge-, port a few days ago, and a . bencli warrant .for his apprehension upon the embezzlement charge was secured in Brooklyn.

ROUTING THE TURKs Successes Sy Balkan Allies Generally - ' Reported in Despatches All . " Along the Line, - London, Oct. 19. Successes by the Balkan allies against Turkey were in dicated by all despatches from the near east, today;' Most .advices were from anti-Turk ish sources, It is true, and it was thought likely they exaggerated the advantages the allies were said to have gained. ' Also, though: there has been considerable sanguinary skirm ishing, nothing of the proportions -of a real battle has occurred? Still, mili tary experts expressed surprise -" that the Turks, after taking the "initiative in declaring war, should show - so lit tie energy In -opposing the enemy's advance into the- Sultan s territories. Reports of the Bulgarians' capture of Mustapha. Pasha on .the Turkish... side of the frontier were generally accept ed as true. -A strong detachment of Servians, it was learned from reliable sources, - was marching across the Sanjak of Novibazar -Turkish' soil to aid the Montenegrins who have in vaded northern Albania. : The Greek invasion of Turkey was said thus far to have been' unopposed. - .n . f ' That -the Servians - have captured Pristina,. as reported, is doubted, how ever, for the simple reason that it 4s almost impossible that they have, been able; even by ' forced ' marches, to penetrate so far into Turkey from the frontier. .--4' :.-:. , Desperate fighting was reported be tween Turkish troops- and the ' combined-Bulgarian and Servian forces advancing - on Uskubu. ,.Of its result nothing had been learned. The Turks were said to be holding out against the Montenegrins at Scutari and to have captured the town of Blajevo Just within the Servian frontier. -? - Nazim Pasha, -Turkish " minister of war, started for the front, today, ac cording to a message from Constanti nople, accompanied by a big retinue of foreign- military observers and war correspondents.- 1 . . ( - The Turkish war office has issued an indignant denial of the report that it is "planning to use typhoid and cholera germs against the enemy. The Turkish surgeons are simply provided with serums for inoceulation of their own troops against disease. The war office charged that the alleged false hood was deliberately given circula tion by the Greek government. . . ' The capture of Mustapha Pasha by Bulgarian troops, was confirmed, this afternoon. The town, was occupied following a sharp skirmish. : International tension was somewhat relieved, today, by an official . state ment from Foreign Minister Sazonoff of Russia, to the effect that the Czar has received satisfactory assurances of Austria-Hungaria in the Balkans and that Russia consequently does not- expect to be involved.

The revolutionary plot against the Russian government reported from Warsaw is not confined to Holland, according to advices from Russia, today, but has ramifications all over the Czar's European terri tories. The conspirators, it was said, plan a widespread uprising against Nicholas' rule the moment Russia at tempts to take a hand In the Balkan situation. The plotters feel sure there will be trouble between Russia and Austria, ultimately, and believe they can overturn the Czar's government SNEAK THIEF IN OFFICE. The office of Dr. E. B.

Starting here, today, on a two days tour of Ohio, in behalf of Gov.

Q How many panics have we had in that time? A Three. Q When did they come? A In 1873, 1893 and 1907. Q Who was President in 1873? A U. S. Grant. -Q--To what party did he belo.hg? A Republican, party. - Q What party had control of the Senate at that time? A -Republican party. . - Q What did the Democrats ' have to do with the panic of 1893? A Nothing except that they suffered from the panic in common with others. . - Q Who was President when the panic of 1907 came? A Theodore Roosevelt. 1 , Q To what party did he then be long? A Republican party. Q What party had control of the Senate and House? A Republican party. Q: What did the Democrats have to do with that panic? A Nothing except that they suffered from it in .common with others. 1 . Q- Is it possible that two of the three panics , came under Republican Presidents and with Republicans in control of both the Senate and House? A Yes. I - '-- "Q Why do the Republican speak ers ignore these two panics? A Be cause neither of these panics - can toe charged to the Democrats and a ref erence to them would rob Republican threats of disaster. Q Who was President when "the panic of 1893 came? A-r-Grover Cleveland. - , Q To what party did he belong? A He was elected by the Democratic .party in 1892.,- But he helped to elect a Republican to succeed himself in 1894. -. - - . Q How soon after his election did the panic come?

He testified that a train go ing at the, rate of .60 miles an hour could thus be stopped withiri 1,500 or 2,0,00 feet from the time the brakes are put on. In the tests that wero made on the Staten Island road ttee train was not ' always stopped to a. standstill because this would cause the passengers to rush out and. see what the trouble was.' He had in some -of the tests made complete standstills so as to prove that the sys tem could bring a train- to a com plete stop. 'Under cross-examination witness said that his system did not work when the signals were set at safety, indicating a clear road. Mr. Lacroix was then questioned by Signal Engineer C. H. Morrison of the. road. He asked witness what would" happen to his system if a short circuit occurred between the contact posts' in the third rail and the rail shoe and witness replied the result would be to apply' the circuit brakes. There "was a. good deal of technical questions to which the wit ness answered.' Engineer Morrison managed to secure from the witness admission, to one possibflity of hi apparatus failing to work on account of a high resistance circuit. Wit ness claimed however, that this pos sibility was a remote one and that such a thing couldn't happen once in one million times. Witness was asked if he' thought . 'his questioner, the road signal engineer, would be right in recommending the system to the railroad, knowing of the particu lar fault which was pointed out- Wit ness answered this question by asking if the signal engineer of the railroad expected 100 per cent, efficiency in any systein, whethe signal, block or safety system. He admitted that his system was not 100 per cent, per fect, but that it is the nearest perfect of any system that has been devised or ever will be devised. The discussion at this point got a bit informal. Questions were asked by the road . officials, the witnesses and the coroner. Signal Engineer Morrison said that to equip the road with the system in question would mean that the road would have to rebuilt 21 bridges on its road, as part of the new apparatus would make that necessary. J- Van Benshoten, chief train despatches testified before the hear ing adjourned. He told of giving the order for train 53 (the Boston express) to cross from tracke three to track one at Bridgeport and back again at West port. This message was given at 4:10. The first section of the train passed Bridgeport at 4:18 and. the measagre was sent at 4:10. The firet section passed Westport at 4:33 and the sec ond section at 4:44. A chart showed just when the trains passed each, sta tion. Witness said he did not keep a record of the speed of trains. Cor oner Phelan wanted to know if there is anyone supposed to make a report if a train is running too fast. The witness said that there was no one to make report of . that. Witness said that it was not possible for a train to run ahead of Its sched ule, as it could not get into the block. Figures were introduced to show the relative speed of the two sections of the train. The first section was going 46 1-6 miles an hour and the second section, was going 49f& miles an hour on slowdown, and when under way at 50 miles an hour. The despatchc-r said, that the Springfield express' had to make the Westport crossover daily for two weeks, because of a ' work train at Stamford. . , ,. Girl Wanted? Read the Farmer Want Ads.
