E. E. BOSS RETIRES. Resigns at Thread Plant ‘After Nearly Forty Years as Agent—Succesded by His Son, Austin D. Boss. After devoting nearly sixty years of his life In working and bullding up the thread plant in this city, General Eugene S. Boss, who far nearly forty years has been agent of the plant, re- tires today from active we His place as agent is to be taken by his son, Austin Dunham Boss, for many years closely identified with him in conducting of the affairs of the plant. General Boss has sought for a_long time to retire from the many and responsibilities attached to the high position he held, but the officlals of the American Thread company, rec- ognizing his worth and merit and his success in handling the affalrs of the company here, hesitated to accept hi resignation. Finally, when they be- came convinced that General ross really felt that he needed a rest, they consented to accept the resignation. ‘When he steps out of harness today General Boss will have completed a remarkable career in the manufactur- ing affairs of this part of the state. About fifty-eight years ago, a youth in humble circumstances, he entered the dressing department of the Willi- mantic Linen company, which was then but a small plant. Long hours at work and arduous duties were in store for him. But gifted with uns daunted eourage, ambition to rise the world, he went into his work with all the activity there wss in him. Later_he became identified with the New York office of the company, then returned here as chief clerk and pay- master. Afterwards he was elected secretary of the company, also man- ager. Then he was made agent. When the American Thread company bought the plant here he was con- tinued as agent and in, recognition of his_accomplishments in' the manufac- turing business he was made a direc- tor of the company, also a_member of the advisory committee. Under _tne careful directing hand of General Boss the plant here constantly grew, un- til today it is the largest and best plant owned by the American Thread company. Austin Dunham Boss, who is to fill the office made vacant by the resig- nation. of his father, is a native of and for many years has cted with the thread plant. s every _department and cquipping himself for some responsi- ble pesition. In his selection as agent to succeed his father the directors of the American Thread company have paid a tribute to his efforts and ef- ficienc: Cheshire Superintendent to Speak. Charles "H.

No KSON, Dentist Sunday, 10 to 2 (Special to The Bulletin.) New London, March 31.—At last the new modern motor-driven apparatus for the Frederick L. Allen Hook and Ladder company has arrived in New London, and its coming was heralded daily from the time it left the manu- factory in the far west until it reached its destination. No fire apparatus of any type has been discussed in New London to compare with the discu: sion over thé purchase of this ma- chine. There has been squabble after squabble in the court of common coun- cil over the purchase of this special make of machine, and the matter was even Lrought into the courts, to test the authority of the court of common council to authorize the purchase of a machine for which specified appropria- tion had not been made in city meet- ing, and agaln when the question was raised as to the vote of the mayor on ths question of purchase and selectior of the type of apparatus. Foreman ‘Thomas Reagan of the hook and lad- fer company happens to be a member ©f the court of common counci! and was a member of the court of common council and was a member of the fire committee when the matter of the puxchase of a hook and lader truck was first given consideration. There was determined effort to pur- chase an aparatus of a different make just such a one that has been put to the severest test in New London, in S0 far as goes efficlency of motor power, the main stay of any motor- driven fire appartws, whether it be a hook and lader truck or a pumping en- gine. Foreman-Alderman Reagan sat- isfled himself that the commliitee had not selected the best apparatus and then ke commenced to fight and fight hard in opposition, with the result that the company will now have an up-to- date aparatus of the foreman's own selection. He fought so hard that he finally silenced his opponents and he clinched the whole business when city meeting when apropriation made for the new hook and ladde truck, Alderman Reagan went so far as to have specified in the vote the make of machine to be purchased, and this without the slishtest oppo tion. It is presumed that the aoparatuc will be tested under the direction of the committes of the court of common council before formal acceptance—Aft er this formality it is the purpose o2 Foreman Gragan and his men, togethe: with favored friends, to celebrate the MORE NEW LONDON AUTO APPARATUS MnTMMvdByF.LAhMMW Company—Decided Contrast to Early Days—Planning to Increase Efficiency of Police Force. coming of the new truck and the ad dition to the department another up- to-the-minute fire apparatus. ‘Ther= is not a volunteer fireman in this city that does not wish the Allens success with their new apparatus, regardless of any misunderstandings that may have existed before this matter was definitely determined. Come to thi it over there is just a little bit of dif- ference between the present hook and ladder trutk and the one that existed in the days when the oldest volunfeer of the present day was a small boy. The time was when the hook and ladder truck of the New London fire depart- ment was without a working company. In keeping with the other apparatus of that time, this truck was hand-drawn. It was etored in a shed built in Hun- tington street, in the Town square, e location of the almshouse, and now the site of the Bulkeley school. When the truck was wanted some men volun- teered to go and get it but there was no regular truck company.

Roll of Bills Found by Detectives at Orient Point, L. I. New York. March 31.—Buried near the trunk of the tallest of a grove of trees at the very tip of Long Island a roll of bills which Eugene Oliver Kane. the embalmer, asserted was forced upon by Dr. Arthur Waite, was found today by Kane claimed Dr. Waite paid him this money in an effort to induce him to swear there was arsenic in the em- balming fluld used on the body of Waite's father-in-law, John E. Peck, of Grand Rapids, for whose. murder the voung dentist was indicted today. The roll, which Waite told District Attorney Edward Swann, contamed £9,000 totalling only $7.500 when it was found by the detective. Kane sald he never counted the money while it was in his possession and therefore did not whether Waite's count was cor- rect. Detective John Cuniffe by Kane told the district attorney he had buried the money. Arriving at Greenport_they undertook to complete the trip by automobile but the ma- chine became stalled in the mud two or three miles out and they were obliged to walk. Then they attempted to veach their destination in a bot, but after starting found the craft was not eyuipped with a rudder and had to begin ali over again. They finally reached Orient Point in the launch of a hotel proprietor. After landing Kane led the way o the grove. One of the trees was conspic uously tall and under it was a tin can. Kane kicked aside the can and with a pocket knife removed a sod beneath which was a second tin can. Inside the can was a roll of bills, wrapped in brown paper. The detective in the presence of Kane and the hotel man counted the money and reported to the district attorney that it aggregat- ed 100. According to the story told by Waite he also bave Kane a <heck for $9.400 which Kane admitted having accepted. This check has not yet been located. Cuniffe said it was not with the roll of_bils. District Attorney Swann said to- night that Waite, who is a_prisoner at Bellevue hospital, where he is re- covering from the effects of drugs taken just before his arrest, proba- bly will be arragned Monday on the indictment which charges him with murder in the first degree. When told by his attorney, Walter Deull, that he had _been _indicted, Waite exclaimed: “That is what I expected.” Deull sald that when he suggested an insanity defense to him, Waite de- clared: “I am just as sane as you are. You can't help me in that way. T am not afraid of the electric chair.” Miss Cozella Corbett, formerly ot Grand Raplds but now living here, denied_to _the attorney today that she had written a letter to Dr. Charles H. Bull of Grand Rapids, de- accompanied lEFFCRYS TO SECURE RELEASE OF ROOSEVELT'S SECRETARY Who Was Recently Sentenced to the Workhouse for Assault.

Cleveland, O., March 31.—That all three of the New York Central trains that were piled up in a wreck at Am- herst, O. on Wednesday morning, causing death to at least 28 persons and injury to more than 40, were racing through a dense fog in an_effort to make up lost time; that the signal block system was defective on this oc- casion, and had been similarly deficient on numerous occasions during the past winter, and that no particular man was to blame for the wreck—these were the outstanding features of evi- dence taken today at the first formal session of the representatives of the interstate commerce commission and of the utilities commission of Ohio to fix_responsibility for the wreck.
