COLONEL SEELEY RESIGS AT HOME But to Contimue at Noroton Until Successor Is Named Bridgeport, July 7 (# — Colonel Henry J. Seeley of this city, for the past eight years superintendent of Fitch’s Home for Soldiers, Noroton Heights, has resigned that position, it become known today. The resig- nation was effective July 1 but the grand army veteran will continue as head of the institution until his suc- cessor has been named. Colo . Seeley forwarded his res- ignation to Governor John H. Trum- bull last mo-th, informing ‘the gov- ernor that he had desired to relin- quish the post for a considerable period and take a vacation. With the appointmert of the new commis- sion he felt that the welfare of the soldiers would be adequately safe- guarded, he :aid. In accepting the resignation, Gov- ernor Trumbull commended the Civil war veteran, nearly 80 yeafs old, on his management of the inmstitution and‘asked him-to continue in active charge until the. new appointed by him yesterday takes up its duties and names his successor. One of the central figures in the rumors of scandal and-the dissension that rocked the institution early last year, Colonel Seeley survived and was vindicated. The efficlency of his management of the home, which had been questioned, was upheld. The governor, in accepting the resigna- tion, made it plan he had no Frlll- cism to make of Colonel Seeley's re- e. !m“l"hlle Colonel Seeley wished to sever his connection as syperinten- dent before this, he wanted to wait until the home's affairs had been straightened out, it is sald. He did not wish to have it appear that he was quitting under fire. One of the first acts of the new veterans' home commission just named by the gover- nor, will be to commend Colonel Seeley for his work, it is understood. Colonel Seeley was first named superintendent of the home by C_,m:. ernor Marcus H. Holcomb. ~ Until July 1, this year, the superinten- dency was a governor's commission, but the new act gives the home com- mission power to name the superin- tendent. It was stated as unlikely that Major Arthur C. Bennett of Bridgeport, recently named adjutant of the home, would be selected as superintendent. The post pays $5,- 000 and quarters are furnished. Members of the commission, which succeeds the soldiers’ hospital board, received their commissions from Governor Trumbull in today's mail. No date has been set for an organ- ization meeting of the board. Al- though there was a report that Col. | Rex B. DeLacour, of Stratford, might be the choice for chairman of the commission, it was stated as morc Jikely that DeLacour and other war representatives on the commission would support either a Civil war or | Spanish-American war veteran for the chairs.anship. TERRIBLE TOBACCO W Hartford District Outlook Worst Since 1808. Hartford, Conn., July 7 (A—To- bacco farmers of Connecticut and Massachusetts are faced with the most unfavorable weather condi- tions and crop possibilities since 1898 at the present time, according to authorities.

Early shade grown tobacco, al- though little more than one-third normal size, is in blossom and can- not grow more than five or six) inches, Judge Levi P. M. Hickey, vice president of the Connecticut Valley Tobacco association, sald today. The quality of this tobacco is llkewise poorer than in many years past. Tobacco grown outside, Havana seed, broad leat and prime, is now in the early stages of growth..Its development is considerably behind normal development at- this period of the year, Judge Hickey said. The poor condition of the -tobac- co crops affects more than 3,000 farmers of Connecticut and Massa- chusetts and involves crops annual- ly worth upwards of $10,000,000. EUROPE AWAITING ROYAL BETROTHAL Princess Marie Jose of Belgium Will Marry Duke of Apulia, Is Bellet Brussels, Belgium, July 7 (®— Court circles had a report today that the engagement of the Italian Duke of Apulia, son of the Duke of Aosta, and Princess Marie Jose, of Belgium, is to be announced soon. The royal family and government haye neither denied nor confirmed the report. The young prince spent the best part of the month of June as a guest of the Belgian king at the | Laeken Palace and one of the royal country estates. He was much in the company of the princess, who has just left Brussels for a visit with the Italian royal family. Princess Marle Jose, 21 year old daughter ot King Albert and Queen Elizabeth has been spoken of fre- quently in the last few years as the possible fiancee of Crown Prince Humbert of Italy. When the reports of their betrothal persisted last year, the authorities at Rome issued a de- nial. In November last there was talk in Brussels of a marriage between Marie-Jose and Crown Prince Olav of Norway.

H., July 7 —Grave fears for safety of a New Rochelle, N. Y., couple believed lost in the wilderness of the White Moun- tains were entertained today as searching parties prepared to follow Davis trail from which they disap- peared last Friday and which since has been swept by a heavy rain and snow storm. The missing couple were believed to be Mr. and Mrs. A. W. or A. H. Hussey, school teachers, who arriv- ed here by automobile last week and on Friday left their machine and took the trail toward Mt. Crawford on foot. A flapping tent pitched near their machine on the Mt. Willey state camping ground first called atten- tion to the fact that they were miss- ing and when no trace of them had been reported up to last night au- thorities determined to organize a search, The Mt. Alban range which tow- ers up on the eastern side of the trail is one of the most desolate sec- tions of the whole White Mountain districts and it was feared that un- less they have found one of the for- est service shelters along the road which follows the backbone of the range up to Mt. Washington they must have perished. On the other side of the Notch, Mt. Willard and Mt. Willey loom and another wilderness stretches away to the westward. Northward is the whole bulk of the Presidential range while to the south, although ‘Qhe country is more open, persons i\m\lsvied to the topography might find the going exceedingly rough.
