Washington, going direct to his train
from a state ball in the armory.
The president's reception In Mld

At Mlddietown it seemed as if half
the people of the state had been
brought Into the picturesque old city
to participate in the welcome to the
chief executive. The Hartford crowds
tonight gave the police considerable
difficulty In the armory. The crowd
was so great and restless that few

PARIS, Nov. 12. The entire ses

day was taken up with an Impas
sioned pica by Advocate General
Trouard Roille, for .the conviction of
the woman who Is charged with hav
ing killed her husband her step
mother, and by reason of the fact
that Madame Stelnhell'a counsel, M.
Aubln, is yet to be heard, doubt has
arisen whether the fate of the woman
will be given into the hands of the
Jury tomorrow.
The prosecutor showed neither pity
nor mercy In hlo address to the Jury.
He painted the accused woman in
the blackest of colors as the most
wicked type of woman, a born liar
and as one whose whole life, before
and after the crime. Justified the
presumption of her guilt. He devel

Strang's Powerful Car Was
Making Record For All Time
When Compelled to Quit
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 12. Today's
automobile races reached the climax
when George H. Robertson, driving a
sixty horse power Fiat lowered the
American track record for fifty miles
by 4:07. The previous record was held
by John Aiken who made the distance
at Indianapolis in 44:21.2. Aiken,
who drove a National In todiy's race,
finishing second, and Stlllman, who
came third In a Marmon, both better
ed the Indianapolis mark. Allen made
the distance In 43:11.41 and Stlllman
In 43:30.66. Bight curs started In the
contest and five of them finished, de
spite the record breaking pace which
was set.
Lewis Strang, piloting his 200-horse-
power Flut, set a terrible pace In the
first seventeen miles, but in the eigh
teenth as he was passing th Judge's
stand the tire of his rear right wheel
exploded with a report like artillery.
This compelled him to withdraw as
l was impossible, with this special de
sign of car, to make a quick replace
ment of tire; and Strang withdrew.
His time for the first ten miles was
7:18.32.
Strang Will Want.
Strang traveled on an average of
three seconds a mile faster than Rob
ertson on which basis It is figured that
had he been able to remain In the
race to the end he would have gone
the fifty miles In four minutes under
the time made by Robertson. Asked

CASH BAIL IN THE
FRAUDS CASE
Resigned His Position Only
Day Before Indictment
Was Returned.
OTHERS INCLUDED.
NEW YORK. Nov. 12. After
months of quiet work behind the
scenes by the government investigators
who have been scrutinizing the ins
and outs of the complicated sugar
import frauds, there came suddenly
today the indictment and arrest of an
Important former officer of the Amer
ican Sugar Refining company, charged
with conspiracy to defraud the gov
ernment by false weighing of sugar.
The man arrested Is Jumes K. Hen
dcrnngcl, for more than thirty years
superintendent of the Havemeyer and
Kider refinery in WIlllHlnsburg, the
largest plant of the American Sugar
Refining company. It was regarded
us significant that Hendernagel's res
ignation from this responsible pqsi
tion was announced by the company
only yesterday.
When arraigned before United
States Commissioner Benedict and
asked to give $5,000 bail for his ap
pearance at an examination set -for
next Monday, he produced a roll of
bills from a waistcoat pocket and
counted out the required amount.
The Indictment returned against
him is of the blanket variety, and
includes the following as the so-called
"big six:" Spltzer. Thomas, Kehoe.
Edward A. Boyle, Jean M. Voelker,
John R. Coyle and Patrick J. Hen
nessey, all of whom have been pre
viously Indicted on similar charges.
At one point the Indictment relates
the old charges made sgalnst four
members of the so-called "big six"
elleglng the use of fraudulent devices
on the scales used at. the docks to
short weigh sugar for tbt purpose
of aiding customs'charges. It was In
connection wfth these eharget that the
government last spring recovered
$2,115,000 in duties and penalties.
Today another large sugar Import
ing concern, the Arbuekle Brothers
company, began negotiations for the
purpose of paying Into the United
Slates treasury duties on sugar Im
j porta which ths government authori
ties claim should have been paid on
past weighments.
