WOMAN’S BODY FOUND IN DARIEN WOODS Corpse Discovered in Thicket Far From Place Where Man Was Murdered Several Years Ago. Not “Darien, Aug. 10.—Efforts were be- ing made by the authorities today to establish the identfty of the body of a woman found yesterday in an un- frequented section of woods border- ing the Noroton road and who, the authorities believe, may have been murdered. The body was discovered in a thick- et not far from the place where a man was murdered several years ago. So reduced was the corpse by decompo- sition as to be little more than a skeleton -and = identification, in the opinion of the authorities is improb- able, except possibly through the clothing, which was found some 3v away. This consisted of a tailored suit of blue material, tan shoes and stockings, lingerie of very good qual- ity and a black straw hat with three blue feathers. Near the garments lay a silver mesh bag containing a purse in which was eight cents. Two bottles containing a slowly acting poison were also found near by and a wad of paper, which the authorities believe may have been used as a gag. The woman was apparently five feet nine inches in height, In the opinton of the medical exam- iner the body had lain in the thicket for months. The fact that no marks indicating violence were found is not considered an offset to the murder theory as it is pointed out that such marks, if any had existed would have, by this time, been obliterated by the decomposition. COHIEF MAKES “BULL.” Goes to Corbin Avenue Instead of Corbin Place in Response to Alarm. What appears to have been an aw- ful “bull” on the part of Fire Chief Robert M. Dame occurred at 2:55 o’clock yesterday morning when in response to a bell alarm from Corbin Place the chief drove away over to Corbin avenue by mistake. The fire was at'Corbin Place in a house occupied by an Italian family and owned by H. H. Corbin. An oil lamp exploded and set fire to the room. The damage was not more than $50. PEDDLARS' ROW IS O. K. Officer Skelly Reports That Produce Dealers Appreciate Favor. Officer James Skelly, who is de- tailed to watch “peddlars’ row” on East Main street, reports that the pro- duce dealers evidently appreciate the favor granted them by the city for there were no disturbancecs at all this morning. As Vet this is but an experiment but it is thought that the farmers should have some place to exchange their wares. There was no undue noise and the peddlars seemed careful not to throw waste materials into the street. DENIES REPORT.

Authorities Belicve Ar- rangement is Only Temporary. Officials at Landers Frary & Clark’s have found it necessary to shorten their weekly running time for the present to four days a week, nine hours a day. The explanation for this is obvious. Mahy of the supplies used in factory departments are ob- tained from points abroad and ship- ing is not dependable. Therefore it is found necessary to conserve the available supplies and return to the full running time when commerce re- opens. J. F. Lamb, and A. G. Kimball, offi cers of the concern announced th morning that they looked with the utmost of optimism upon the situa- tion. It will probably be only for a short time that this ‘conservation schedule” ‘will be necessary. As soon as shipping reopens to ports in the southern countries, supplies, tin in particular, will time should be sure that this is only to last their words. the result. a brief period” were LOOK FOR DERBY WOMAN.
