ANTIQUE HUNTERS SEEK NEW FIELDS Bits of Ancient Carpentry in 0l Honses Sought Now Haven, Aug. 13 (A—The quest for antiques has left a thriv- ing business in its wake, one in which the property owner and sal- vager have found a mutual profit. Particularly in this section, one of the oldest in the United States, an- clent residences and buildings are being placed on the market valued principally for their aged carpentry. Wreckers have by sale or careful handling of houses wanted for future use in a modern home or office. Take Up Carpentry The drift of souvenir hunting for window casements, cupboards and roof pan- eling has reached its present stage due to scarcity of real antiques in furniture and art of unquestioned age and origin, these people believe. And many persons, disappointed in furniture or objects for their homes, are going in antique doors, staircases, failure to obtain old for carpentry which shows com- bined artistic design, quality and age. The bits which salvagers tear out of old structures are being incorpo- rated into the finish of a den, library or dining room in the homie. - Celling beams are in demand and arc! ing, or the use of a stairc: found new revenue modern good tects have ti solve the problems of harmoniously work- ing Interfor finish beams, or panel- | Y modern arrangement of a floor. Aged Mansions Disappear Really old houses built by men who put art into their work as well as age-resisting woods, are becom- ing scarce in Connecticut. This has been strikingly brought to notice as the many towns and country chur- ches have celebrated anniversaries of 100 to 200 years of existence. Former townfolks and members of families descended from the settlers have returned. Many of them have sought to take back home souven- irs of colonial days and there being no furniture, pewter, or old silver, they have turned to old houses for their relics. More old houses built in the 1700 have been torn down than in any previous year. If not wrecked, they have been stripped of choice sec- | tions of interior. Prices paid for ma- terial removed frequently has been more than the market value of the structure, Old Pieces in New Homes. In Ansonia, an old house in which prdained by the Episcopal bishop of Connecticut, has been bought by a | group of Poles. Someone knew that good, and a neighborhood subscri tion resulted in the building bei purchased, moved to a new site, r stored and used as a museum for revolutionary relics.

In North Branford, where land is being cleared for a great reservoir, there was an old mansion. Seekers after woodwork in that house bid for it, and some of it eventually may g0 to the Yale Art school. ESCAPES JAIL HE FREES ANOTHER Avway for Second ime Freehold, N.

It was the second time Tom- lin had escaped from this jail with- in six weeks. Cornelius Barkalow, fail warden, tonched the electric button in his | office last night, automatically lock- | ing all the cells without that Tomlin was in Voorhee's cell. Someone had smuggled saws into one of the two men, and with these they worked loose a sheetiron pan- cl.

When Barkalow inspected the kitchen today he saw evidence that the men had been there after get- ting out of the cells. He immediate- ly broadcasted an alarm througout the state. It was learned that a Buick tour- ing car belonging to the state po- lice had been stolen at about the hour of the delivery from an alley leading off Broad street, Freehold, land contigious to the state olice district headquarters. It was from a nearby location in Freehold that Tomlin, after his escape six weeks ago, appropriated another automo- bile in which he later was captured in Washington. Six weeks ago Tomlin led four men in a delivery from the jail. He was picked up in Philadelphia and three others are still at large, in- cluding Edmard Walker, a Negro |and partner of Tomlin, Tomlin arrested several months ago for highway robbery in and Voorhees was ar- tly Znglishtown and Neptune was rested re stores in township. |Government Action in London, for gov Aug. permen. ernment to invit ers to meet with sentatives wi {for a national lalso for the p a view pose of for™ robbing chain | Mine Strike Is Wanted 13 (P —An appeal rnment action in the coal |strike was made by A.
