TROLLEYMEN WANT INCREASE IN PAY Demands Made for New Schedule to Be Bllective June 1 Approximately 85 employes of the New Britain branch of the Connecti- cut Co., including the bus drivers, motormen and conductors on the trolleys and ‘car barn employes are aftected by a demand which is being made of the compuny by the Trol- leymen's Union. The proposals arc being made to John K. Punderford by the Hart- tord lLocal of the An\al[avva(ed As- sociation of Street and ~ Electric Railway Employcs of America and as the New Britain employes are affiliated with the Hartford branch they will be forced to go out on strike if the union decides to take this course. The Connecticut Co. officials will have until June 1 to satisly the demands of their em- Pployes. The principal demands are for a wage increase scaling up to 20 cents an hour additional for bus drivers, a wpinimum eight hour day and recognition of the trolleymen’s union. The present wage scale was sel- tled last year after several weeks of deadlock during which the scare of & strike was felt several times. Jt was finally settled and the possibility of state wide tie up was avoided. William G. Bryan, superintendent of the New Britain branch, express- ed confidence today that the de- mands of the union men would be satisfled in conferenses between now and June 1. The first cohference will be called within a week, CANADIAN FORESTS RAVAGED BY FIRES (Continued From First Page) Wwere consuming more valuable property to the east of the mines. Of ten fires reported in Saskatche- wan the most serious were raging through the Basque and Procupine forest reserves 80 miles east of Prince Albert. A pall of smoke hanging over th great reaches of scrub growth in North Manitoba, known as the Bra- rens, told of the extent of the fires | in that region. KForest rangers com+ ng out of the Barrens said the roar, of the flames could be heard for miles. The mining settlement at Cold Lake and other communities were in the path of flames aweeping north. ward while other fires raged at Mile 69 and at Mandy Lake. Two Ih. dan shacks and the buildings of the Ross Navigation Company at Mile 83 were destroyed before a changing wind saved the rest of the aettle. ment. The forestry division concentrated a large forcs in the Touch River district north of Nipawin, Sask,, where two seriousi fires had attack. cd valuable timber.

WOMAN IN CASE COSTELLO'S BELIEF (Continued From First Page) hemicide, Dr. Costello pointed to the fact that when the body wes feund, the mouth was clean of bjeed end traces of nauseg, though ey- éence of the latter was found beside the head. Dr. Cestello thinks that the body bore signs of ministrationy by a woman. It would not piease the “sensibil'- ties” of & woman to le: man in & bad posture after he had died, he said, and it might have been a woman who had laid his hands across his chest, just as it might kave been a woman, in his opinion, who wiped blood from the head and mouth. / Could Not Reach’ Wound The bleod on the left hand, Dr. Costello believes, fell upon it as it flowed out of the wound, He does not think yvoung Huntington was atle to reach to his head with it. The medical examiner recallied the statements of two farmers, lving rear Murphy farm, where the body of the student was found early Wednesday, that on several occa- sicns, previous to the sheoting, they hud seen a car parked on the road ncar the spot where the hody later lay. In this car, they said, were & young man and a young womau. Dr. Coatello believes this may sup- port his theory of a “woman in the case.” Hickey Denies “Blind” Report Tt was said here that key had reported to State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn that his emphatic state- ments of belief in a suicide theory was a “blind” to give the slayer as- surance he or she was not being sought. This Hickey denied noon, reiterating his earlier state. ment that he had found, both here and in Cambridge, where he teok & flying trip yesterday evidence cor- roberating his theory. He repeated that he will continue his investigation on the basis of sul- cide. The detective believes young Huntington lay down, flat on his back, in aimest the position in which he was found, and then fired the bullet. His assistant shifted the sand underneath the spot where the head lay, in the hope of finding the slug which, on passing through the head and coming out at the crown has disappeared. Denies Bullet Has Been Found Hickey denied it had been feund. He continued his search for the 3 calibre automatic pistol which he has asserted was used in the shoot. ing. Inquiries at the state's attor- ney's office brought infermatien that Mr. Alcorn “was out of town until Tuesday.” This information came from Mrs. Hickey, wife of the detective and Mr. Alcorn’s secretary. Hickey Sticks to Suicide Adhering to his theory that Hunt- ington died from a self-inflicted bul- let wound, Detective Hickey today, |after & conference which lasted much of the night sald he had found cor- roborative evidence. Hesreturned late last night after a visit to Cam- bridge, Mass, and summoned a cousin of the dead student, Charles A. Huntington, a tébacco grower of Poquonock for a confarence. After this was over Mr. Hickey sai “There is no truth in the re- port that the bullet which killed young Huntington has been found. I do not believe I can state any names of persons interviewed. There are no suspects apd corrobo- ration of evidence I had, was found. My Cambridge trip revealed certain information to warrant me to con- tinue investigation on the same theory (suicide).” It 1s understood that Hickey while in Cambridge talked with Captain Patrick J. Hurley, chief inspector of police and Martin Hester, & clams. mate at Harvard of Huntington's. Charles Huntington, representing the family, has been making own inquiry into the conditio sur- rounding young Huntington's last days. “Hickey's Case Inforence”—Calhoun Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun last night in commenting on the case ich he had referred to as a pussle” said that “a great deal oi Hickey's case 13 inference. The two doctors are @f the opinion the bey was murdered and Hickey is of ‘he epinion he committed suici The We have nothing to go by. If the gun is found it will likely clear up the situation very much. The probabil- ity is that the boy was shot near the spot where the body was feund. One of the things noticed was the mun had smeared his left hand over his face and cheek. Thers were no powder marks about the wound. A cartridge several years old- has a chance to dry out and combustion s almost complete. He may have smoothed away such powder marks and because of the age of the powe der there wouldn't have been any of | these marks.” Coroner Calhoun said there was nothing te indicate the body had a Glisease.

Two medical examiners said in their re- ports there was no disease, but on Lhe youth's body was a slight wound. Dr. Costello of Hartford said he re- garded this “as a myatery case.” City Items | Complaint was mas to Ofticer William J. Sullivan last night that money is being stolen out of milk bottles owned by J. E. Seibert & Son.

Refuses to Continue On Bond for Petrasch John Petrasch, who has been at, liberty under bonds én a auperior; court order to support his infant: child, was surrendered last night by | John Riccio, his bondsman. Pe- trasch was kept at the police sta- tion over night and Ricclo took him | to Hartford county jall today. It is said Riccio feared Petrasch woull leave the jurisdiction of the court and he would be called upon to pay the bond. 1 BRAKES PREVENT INJURY Samuel Porcara, aged 3%, of 35 Clark strect, ran into the street in front of his home last evening as an ‘ automobile driven by Paul Scarola of Blye Hill farm, Kensington, was passing in a southerly direction. A truck waz parked at the curb and 8carola did not see the boy until he was in the path of his car, but he stopped at once and did not strike ifm. The boy fell down, but fortunately cscaped unhurt. But for the driver's quick action in stopping his car, the boy might have been run over. Dr. Roman Lekston examined him and Tound no injuries, TURNS OFF WATER IN HOUSE John Jakubicyzk of 163 Oak street complained to Supernumerary Offi- cer Meehan last night that his son was ili and his wife turned off the water in the tenement.

CONSTRUCTION SteamBiters and Plumbers Stand | Pat in Position After 11 days of strike, the steam fitters and plumbers of Hartford, including a group employed in the | construction of the high school ad- dition on Bassett street, have not reached an agreement. Frederick Raft of Hartford, who probably feels the effect of the strike greater than any other contractor, refused to eomment today when he was asked for a statement. He is secretary of the Master Steam Fit. tars and is in charge of that work on the Senior high school addition. The journcymen demand increase of $1.25 to 1.37% an hour and the climination of the steam ftters help- In the meantinie the bricklayers are at work at the high school ad- dition and if the steam fitters do not return to duty soon they will have to break through brick walls to set the pipes when they do return, it was said today.
