HAT FOUND NEAR CAR STOP ixperiment Proves Unsound Theory of Medical Examiner That Wom- an's Foot Was Caught in Trestle— Vigtim Going Away From Home. The death of Miss Annie Gahnberg when she was struck by a Hartford bound trolley car near Canfleld's Crossing in Newington last Thursday night becomes more mysterious the more the matter is investigated. Facts, as they have been discovered by those investigating the case, are that she was seen in New Britain shortly be- fore 6 o'clock on the night of her death and boarded a trolley which left the center of this eity about 6:30 o'clock. She is known to have left the trolley at Canfield’s Crossing, which is the nearest station to her home, but why she went across a trestle which is near the station, and in the direction opposite from her home is a mystery which at the pres- ent time remains unsolved. No mo- tive can be found for Miss Gahnberg going in the direction in which she did, and her position when she was first seen by the motorman on the trolley which hit her leaves many things which remain unexplained, Why Did She Cross Trestle? Canfield's Crossing is situated at the bottom of a hill which slopes away from Maple Hill in the direction v0( Newington Center.

The foreign relations chairman re- counted the difficulties of further ar- mament limitation encountered at the Washington drms conference a year ago and declared that in view of the attitude taken by other powers it would be useless to attempt to limit land armaments unless it were es- tablished beforehand that France had changed her position. May Hear From Harding. In some quarters it was that the views of President Harding would be made known in a decisive way before the debate had proceeded very far. Both Mr. Harding and Secretary Hughes have been consulted about the Borah proposal and many senate members were looking to Sen- ator Lodge and Senator Watson of Indiana to disclose fully the attitude of the branch -of the government toward-the possibilities of a new-in- t;rnuflnnml conference on American 80il, Friends Against Borah The fight on the senate floor began GONN.
