Jewelry, Silver, Other - Valuables and Cash Dis- appear When House- wives or Families Are Away From Home. Aroused by the bold operations of key workers who have ransacked approximately 25 houses in New Lritain during the past few weeks, making off with valuable articles, Chief W. C. Hart of the police de- partment today ordered a round-up of all suspicjous characters and strangers who are unable to give 4 good account of themselves. Hard- Iy & day has passed since the first cases of house breaking were re- ported, that one or more similar re- vorts have not been received, and in every instance the method used has been identical, The burglars have been operating in mid-afternoon and early evening, ipparently having a way of know- ing when tenements are temporar- ily unoccupied. Housewives who have to go out in the afternoon, even though they return within an hour or two, have found their homes ransacked and everything of value taken. Families attending theaters early in the evening and returning at 10 or 10:30 o'clock have reported similar conditions, and in many of the cases, the burg- lars have been heard by occupants of other tenements in the houses. Had the police been notified by telephone in several instances, ar- rests might have been maae. ‘Work in All Sections The burglars have shown no preference as to localities, homes in practically every section of the city having been ransacked, with the ex- ception of the west end. Main street, Talcott street, East Main, Glen and several other streets have been visited, entrance having been made through open windows and by the use of keys. To date, the po- liee have been unable to obtain a single clue as to the disposition of (Continued on Page Eight) FARMINGTON AVE, LINE FRANCHISE APPLAUDED Prospective Patrons Ex- press Joy at Extension of Service (Special to the Herald) Hartford, Oct. 4—More than 50 residents of the Farmington avenue section of New Britain who came to the hearing room of the public utilities commission in the state capitol today-to urge favorable ac- tion on an application to extend transportation facilities in their dis- triet, received a favorable report from the commissioners with hand- clapping and cheering. Mayor Paonessa, Alderman Frank Zapatka and Alderman David Nair presented the case of the petition- ing property owners. The mayor traced the development of this dis- trict, declaring for a substitution of buses for the trolley line, and ex- tension of the service northerly for a distance of about one-half mile. The mayor assured the commission- ers that the city of New Britain 18 financially, megally and socially in- terested in thePdistrict, and that the additional accommodations &re much needed. y Willlam J. Bryan of the Connecti- cut Co., reported his company to be in readiness to fulfill the require- ments of the district if the commis- sioners gave their approval. At this point, Mayor Paonessa Te- (uested that, in the absence of op-| position, immediate decision be &iv- en and the commissioners agreed to do 0. After a brief consultation they announced grant of the fran- chise amendment. Mayor Paonessa next asked when fhe service will begin and he was informed that the buses will be in operation in two or three days. The mew line will extend as far as Carver street and the electric cars will be used in cases of necessity. during rush hours, No opposition was voiced on the application of D. Bonalli for per- mission to install a spur track across Wooster street to his proper- ty. The commissioners voted favor- ably on this application also. TRUGK OPERATOR SENT 10 PRISON Rockville Man Found Responsi- ble for Boys’ Death GETS ONE 10 FIVE YEARS Joseph Radwill Appeals Case Tried By Court—Judge Finds Load Too Heavy — Free Under $20,000 Bonds. Rockville, Oct. 4 #—Joseph Rad- will who, using his own truck under hire to carry children workers in the Ellington tobacco fields to their homes in Manchester, had been tried on charge of wilful misconduct and negligence in operation of a motor vehicle, was found guilty by Judge Edward M. Yeomans in superior court today, and sent to state prison for one to five years. Radwill had elected to be tyied by the court without a jury and the evidence offcred by the state to show that he was responsible for the deaths of three boys, burned after the truck upset, and injuries to many others of the more than 50 carried cn the homeward trip July 27, was mainly that which proved the truck was overloaded and that it was driven too fast. The truck skidded when it came to freshly oiled state highway, swerved out of Radwill’ control, hit a bank and overturned. Fire followed and hours elapsed be- fore the three charred bodles were identified. , In the opening day of [the trial that state had more than 40 children weighed in court and it was shown that the aggregate of these children was greater than the registered capa of Radwill's truck. Radwill appealed the sentence to- day and was given his liberty under $20,000 bonds.

Quistberg, who pleaded guilty to the charge of breach of the peace and not guilty to the charge of as- sault, was told by Judge Roche that jail sentences arc usually given to rien who abuse their wives in the manner described and he could ex- pect to be dealt with accordingly unless he behaved.

EXCITING SCENES AS VAST CROWD GATHERS Bright Colors and Warm Weather Give Ideal Set- ting for Baseball Classic Yankee Stadium, New York, N. Y., Oct. 4 (R—All the glamour, the color, the bleacher fans and the shrill cries of the white-coated re- freshment vendors that go with the World's Serics came back to their familiar sectting here today. Another baseball battle for the championship, with the limping lar- rupers of New York arrayed against | te St. Louis Cardinals, was at hand, and the expectations were that the biggest crowd in World's Series his- tory would witness the opening fire- | works, Long before noon the vast expanse of bleachers was two-thirds filled. So was the upper tler of the triple decked grandstand, the gates to which had been opened at 10 o'clock to admit long and steadily mounting lines of the faithful. Only the left- field bleachers showed any vacant space in the unreserved sections. This assured some 40,000 custom- ers in the $1 and $3 seats. As many more, in possession of reserved scat tickets, which were sold out days ago, would shove the total throng up to around 80,000—some 17,000 in excess of the previous high mark for a World's Series. At lcast one of the Yankees sup- posed to be only a jump short of a wheel chair walked in briskly enough to belle pessimistic reports. It was none other than Babe Ruth, one of the first to arrive in the club house, jaunty and good natured in blue suit and brown cap. “How is it, Babe?” a bluecoat grected him. ine, Kid, never better,” sponded the Babe. The Yankees, world’s champions now, at any rate, and r. rebuttal for any evidence re- contrary, were first on the field for | practice. They came trotting out shortly before noon while the cam- cras clicked, the bleacher crowds :d and the band in leftfield play- ¢d “Hail!

Walter Szydlowski of 66 Smith street was sentenced to serve 60 days, Henry Majkowski, alleged proprietor of a smoke shop at 109 Lafayette street, was sentenced to serve four months, and Adam Okula and Blazej (Buzzy) Dul were each fined $100 and costs and sentenced serve 15 days.
