M. Sandford, a Jeweler. .The automobile in' which they made . their get-away it is be- .lieved .by the authorities, was stolen in Waterbury. At the Arch street ad- dress, an apartment building occupied by several families, no one seemingly recognized the name of Land or de- scription of the one it, the name is not listed in the city direc- tory and the police have no know- ledge of such a person. After being arrested, “Land” gave the authori- ties much trouble. . He jumped from the automobile as he was béing taken to Middletown police headquarters, led -Policeman Joseph W. Doherty a merry chase of more than a quarter of‘a mile and was returned to custody only, after . being stopped by Private Shechan ‘of: Co, F, First Connécticut Infantry, of Hnm‘)rd The robbery, ane of the most daring in state jewelry circles for - years, greatly stirred Norwich and soon officlals were ‘in hot pursuit of the fleeing automobile and trio. Accord- ing to police information, the three drove up to the Sandford store about 5:30. yesterddy afternoon. One re- ‘mained in the car and kept the motor -running while the two others entered the store and asked to see some dia- monds. ' A tray containing nine diamond rings, a gold watch and a number of trinkets was produced. 'As the clerk placed the tray on the show case one of the visitors seized it and ran out of the door- The third mem- ber of the party guarded his refreat. The automobile was started for the western outskirts of the city at high speed. Five minutes later another automabile” containing Policemen Heriry B, Fenton and Charles Smith of the Norwich department with At- torney Earl Mathewson and William Frisbie was in pursuit. The shase was hot until Colchester was reached and the trail lost. It was finally picked np at a wayside gasoline station. Be- it led toward Middletown a tele- message was sent ahead. men Doherty and Addison T. of the Middletown depart- ‘were sasigned to guard the high- way bridge from the east. Ah the car stopped at - the bridge for the occu- to invite three girls for & ride it was noted that the licenss numbers compared with those furnished by the Norwich authorities. The arrests quickly followed and were un- eventful with the exception of “Land’s” attempted escape. HExcept two diamonds, dropped ‘in Norwich, all of the jewelry was recovered. According to records, thé license number, C 47,015, was issued to orge Martin of 26 State street, Wa- terbury. “Land’s companions gave their names as John Morrissey, aged 18, of Springfield, Mass., and James Marshall, aged 20, of Detroit.

SOLDIERS ARE FINED Omflflen.mmcm- rel With Police & Parkville, Fsice Hartford Police Court Judge. . Seven Company 8 soldiers, doing duty at the Parkville out s, were fined by Judge Edward L. Steele in ihe Hartford police court yesterday morn- ing. Before judgment was passed Judge Steele had & private conference with Col. Richard J. Goodman, com- manding the First Regiment, and with Lieut. Ashley J. Griffin, commanding Company E. ‘The fines resulted from the escapade at Parkville several days ago in which ' the soldiers were alleged to have had a difference of opinion with the police as to who was boss. It was alleged that members of the de- tail drew revolvers and threatened to shoot -the policemen for interfering and that it required more influence than that wielded by the judge to get them Into court. It was likewise al- leged that some of the soldiers had sald: “To hell with the Polle., the ceurt and the judge.” On charges of resistance Sherman Taylor was fined $5 without costs; Henry E. Gardner was fined $10 with- out costs; Willlam Grabeck was fined $18 without costs; while Aldert Jen- nings, Thomas Dowling, George Scar- let and Albert Adams were ¢ach fined $10 and costs. All/of the’ soldiers ‘were placed on probation and the amount of their fines will be deducted from their next month’s pay, to be collected by Lieut. Griffin, ~ In passing sentence, Judge Steele reminded the soldiers that the uni- form of the United States soldier they ‘wear imposes on them greater respon- sibilities, rather than giving them special freedom to cut up capers. He reminded them also that even though they are soldiers they are not free from the restraints of civil law and wiil be held to a strict accountability be- fore the bar of justice. This Afterncon at 2 o’Clock. Funeral services for the late Arthur Pereau were held this afternoon at 2 o’clock from his late home at 7¢ ilton street. Rev- Henry W. Maier, pastor of the First Congregational church, conducted the funeral ., ser- vices and interment was in Fairview cemétery. .The services were. largely attended by friends and relatives of the deceased, and numerous floral tributes, particularly from his fellow employes at the Hart & Hutchinson Mfg. Co. testified to the esteem in which he was held. 2 e pallbearers were all from the Mtg- Co., Charles Merwin, Charles Cleveland,, Charles Robertson, Logan Page and Donald Hart. The flower bearers were Leon F. Cowles and Louls Cranley. Mr. Pereau’s sudden death came as a distinct shock to his many friends. He worked as usual last week, but on Monday was stricken with what _he thought was the grip. He grew rapid- ly worse and, after a consultation of physicians, it was decided that he was suffering from spinal meningitis. He was forty-five years of age and leaves a wife and three small children. He also leaves his mother, five sisters and three brothers.

The statemeént went on to say that a Magyar successor would be favorable to the allies, but in reality would support Tisza's war policies. It was also assertéd that the two Magyar factions, represented on one side by Tisza and on the other by Andrassy, Karolyl and Apponyi, were united in their purpose to maintain the Magyar hegemony in Hungary. The war was favored by both parties because of the opportunity .it gave to subjugate the non-Magyar majority in Hungary. The upper man in thé pic- tures is Count Karolyl and the lower is Count Apponyi. , Both have. vistted the United States-and. gre. -leadirg statesmen of Hungary.
