Other matters considered last night wer of a routine character.| Can’t Locate Trumbull Will, While it is believed in some quar- ters that Isaac B. Trumbull of Bridgeport, who lost his life when the Lusitania, was. sent to the bottom of the sea a German submarine, had a will drawn up some time before his death, his relatives have been unable to locate any document showing that he had made preparations for the distribution of his estate. Yesterday his widow Mrs, Bertha V. Trumbull made application to the probate court in Bridgeport for letters of adminis- tration and the judge named Alexan- der :Trumbull, a brother of the de-/| ceased manufacturer, to settle the estate. Unless a will is found Mr. Trum- bull’s property, both personal and real estate, wil go to his widow and fourteen-years-old daughter, Pris- cilla. Although he was but thirty-two years. of age and made a start in life with no money and only a common school education, Mr. Trumbull was well along the road to wealth when he embarked in the fatal voyage and it is said that his estate will inven- tory at over $50,000. -The young man was secretary and treasurer of both the Connecticut FElectric company and the American Cycle Car company both of which have been doing a biz business during the past few years.' Mr. Trumbull was next to the youngest of a family of seven boys, all of whom have made fortunes in the manufacturing business. After leaving the employ of his brothers in the Trumbull factory here, he went to Bantam where he went into the business of manufacturing ' electrical supplies himself. His venture was sucessful and but two years ago he wag instrumental in organizing the American Cycle Car company, man- ufacturing an automobile.. The ma- chine had a ready sale and the com- H. H. T. J. B. was arrested and taken to North Ha- ven. It is said that Buffamanto stole the wheel and brought it to Beckley and asked Varvelli to dispose of it Friends of Darloni, who lost the bic- cyle, informed him where he could lo- cate it.

Stephenson Will Admitted. Judge George R. Byington yester- day admitted to probate the will of Frederick G. Stephenson, a retired manufacturer, who died a few weeks ago. Relatives, signed waivers of a hearing and the document was ad- mitted on the same day it was pre- sented. Mr, Stephenson divided his estate between his widow and his = son, Ralph Stephenson, He named his widow to serve as executrix. The court has not as yet named the ap- prafsers. Saturday afternoon from 2:30 o’clock until 6:30 o'clock at Elizabeth park, Hartford. A regular’ weekly praver meeting Wwas held at the ethodist charch in East Berlin last evening. Helen Chamberlain Who was operat- ed upon a few days ago at Miss Nagle's sanitarium in New Britain has re- Poison Bottle as “Rattle.” The funeral of Alice, the eleven- months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold D, Lafayette of Broad street, whose death yesterday afternoon was briefly reported in the Herald of last evening, was held today. The body was taken to Bristol for interment. Medical Examiner T. G. Wright of New Britain completed his investi- gation of the case last evening and gave the cause of death as accidental poisoning. The child had been given a bottle containing strychnine tablets to use as a ‘‘rattle” by its mother. Mrs. Lafayette had left thé baby on the kitchen floor playing with her new toy while she attended to her duties: in another part of the house. When she returned she found that the child had succeded in removing the cork Had succéeded in removing the cork poison plll! Dr. C. W. Moody miade a hefolc| effort to save the child’s life but the deadly drug had spread through her system before he arrived and twenty minutes after she ate the tablets the little girl was, dead. The Lafayette family came here from Bristol but a few months ago. Auto Iight Not Burning. Willam Cunningham of this place, paid an assessment of $6.80 in the; police court in Bristol yesterday for failing to have the rear lamp on his auto ‘burning. i The young man drives a “jitney” | between Plainville and Bristol. Nearly all the “jitney’” operatons have paid; similar fines in Bristol, the police of the neighboring city having shown u,. disposition to pay special attention ! to them. Not After Appointment. There is apparently a dearth of can-} didates for the appointment of deputy sheriff to succeed W. C. Hart, dropped <rom the department by County Sheriff Edward L. Dewey. Neverthe- icss it is not expected that the job will go begging and before many days} there is a strong likelihood that there will be at least two or three local men making a bid for the deposed deputy’s shield. Constables Henry David and Philip Marino and James J. McNally, a for- mer officer, are -among those whose names are being mentioned as prob- &ble candidatets. None of them have &g yet announced their candidacy but it would not be surprising if a pe- tition favorable to ong of them was put in circulation in a short time. The sheriff is not required to make any appointment here unless he sees fit_and unless the “powers that be’” give their support to a candidate it would not cause any astonishment if Hart’s place was left vacant for some time to come. Plerson Defends Himself, Entering a general deniel of charges of responsibility for the death of Ken- reth Dodlittle, a New Haven boy who was run down and killed by his auto on May 26, State Senator Martin B. Plerson of Bristol, last evening voiced his indignation over insinuations con- cerning the presence in his car at the time of the accident of an unknown The menator declared effort to avold running d but the little fellow evig confused and kept in the machine.

A He was about to cast his line w he lost his balance and was p ed into the water. Fortun > water was not deep and he woman, whose identity was not re- vealed util the coroner gave out a report in which he held the senator liable for the boy's deatn. The woman was Mrs. Alice Kum- mell of Hartford. Senator Pierson declares that Mrs. Kummell is em- ployed by him as a stenographer and she was taking fleld notes for him at the time the boy was struck. She left the car during the excitement. At the time Senator Pierson says he was in such a daze over the fatality that he gave no thought to his steno- grapher and when questioned he said he was alone. The next day he told the coroner of Mrs. Kummell's pres- ence in the car with him, to climb back into the boat. He turned home none the worse for B experience. Brief Items.
