Coit in New London Tuesday, charged with statutory burglary. The arrests, which were effected in quick succession shortly before 6 o'clock Monday evening, are expected to clear up the mystery of the series of breaks in summer cottages at Ocean Beach and in the Pequot district. The Tourt ordered a continuance of the cases until Wednesday and the boys were given their freedom on bonds of $200 each. The trio is said to have confessed to many of the breaks reported in the Pequot and Ocean Beach sections within the past few weeks. While a large quantity of the property alleged to have been stolen has been recover- 1 ed, the police are devoting their atten- tion to recovering the remainder, some i of which is believed to have been sold. In each instance where breaks have been reported it has been in. summer cottages which are unoccupied at the be no such-thing afloat as a German submarine, merchantman or otherwise. It was announced there Tuesday mofning that the first ifitimation of the arrival of a submersible at New Lon- don which the officials of the company ould have would be when it got here. evertheless and notwithstanding, certain preparations are being made which indicate that the .coming of a submarine is anticipated at almost any moment. > On the heels of an announcement from New York that a' sister ship of the utschland will be due in New London Wednesday, newspaper and camera men from the metropolis and Boston are flocking to New London. According to the report' quoted, the new subsea trader is larger than either the Deutschland or Bremen and is capable not only of carrying a larger cargo but also of making greater speed. She is said to have a crew of 32 men, as against the Deutschland’s passed in Illinois in 1913, when::the women obtained chisement which makes them of al- most as much importance politica! as the women in the WOMEN HOPEFUL OVER THE SUFFRAGE OUTLOOK in Which They Are Interested .Have Been a degree’ of Three Measures third bill is a more modest Social Planned for Seniors This Even- o] ing—Rev.

It is said she is followed by the Deutsch- land. whose gallant captain, Paul Koenig, was given a dinner in Berlin just before sailing a few days after the sister ship. Unless the new vessel can unload and load in record time, it is reported that both submarines will be at New London together.

KING IS A COMPLICATED PROBLEM The social committee of the Y. M. C- A. has arranged an_interesting af- fair for this (Wednesday) evening at 8 o'clock for the senior members and their men friends. There will be two Teels there will be given a 10-minute Abraham Lincoln and between the reels there will be given a 10minute talk on Efficiency. Henry LaFontaine will officiate at the piano while the pictures are being shown. After the cntertainment, refreshments will be served to all. Rev. J. B. Slocum, D. D., addressed the men of the Cutlery company Tues- day noon on the great work of Billy Sunday, and the men were greatly in- terested. Hugh Kinder sang My Jesus I Love Thee and Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling. Both solos were warmly_applauded. Two Bible classes were held for men Tuesday evening, one taught by the general secretary and the other by the physical director. The subject of the first named was Divine Forces, and the other class had for its topic Sowing and Reaping. The interest was good and the hour was profitable. A 20- cent supper was served before _the study by Mrs. Fitch Allen and Miss the police. Houses known recently included the Dawson the Chappell cottage, Leeds cottage, Putnam cottage, Bragaw cottage. the Hartford house, Kaneen cottage, Hub- bard cottage, O. K. Dimock’s, Butt's and James D. Lynch's. The majority of the breaks occurred, according to the police, the latter part of December, and the frequency with which new breaks were reported at police headquarters led Captain Haven to assign a detail of men to night duty in the district. Patrolman _Samuel Hick was taken from traffic duty and assigned plain clothes work in the district at night, while Sergeant Bex and the regular night patrolmen in the district were also instructed to devote all their spare time to the case. Fully two weeks ago a tip was ziven the police which pointed to the iden- tity of the three boys now under ar- rest. Since that time they have been under almost constant .surveillance, and Monday, when it was decided that all the necessary evidence was at hand, Sergeant Beebe gave the word to make arrests. The three measures which the suf- fragists are chiefly interested in this session have now all been introduced in the legislature. The first is the resolution for the amendment of the constitution of Connecticut. ‘This measure, when passed, will grant'full suffrage to women in this state on ? the same basis as it is now granted ¥ to men. Tt cannot, however, be pass- - ed this year. AH that the legislature can do is to pass it by a majority vote through the house of representa- Jves. It will have to Wait until 1919, af when it must be passed by both B houses and senate and rfeerred to the voters for their endorhement. The women are therefore looking hopefully to the other two' measures : for they would like to have some X measure of suffrage granted to them without further delay. The first of these two subsidiary bills is one for presidential and municipal - suf for wmoen. This would enable wom- en to vote in the town meetings and on_all questions affecting the towns : Bnd cities, and also for presidential Plectors. It is a bill similar to that measure, but it arouses very consid- erable enthusiasm among the wom- en of the suffrage organizations and also the women of the W. C. T. U. It is a bill to give women the vote on all questions affecting__the liquor trade. This would enable women to vote on license or no license whenever this question is up before the voters for their decislon. As about half the towns in Connecticut are now under no-license there is a strong temper ance sentiment that can be counted upon to aid in the passage of this measure. The greatest opponent of votes for women is the liquor trade, but when the question is limited to a vote on license jt will be impossible to con- ceal thé real ememy, as the suffra- gists look at it. The lquor trade is able to use the ladies who oppose woman suffrage in its opposition to full suffrage for women, they main- tain. It is hardly likely that it can persuade these ladies to play its game when it is merely a question of ex- tending the present right to vote on school and library questions to cover a vote on license . questions as well, they say.

Bolton was the first member of the trio to fall into the police trap. He was taken into custody at 5.30 o'clock by Sergeant Beebe and taken immediate- 1y to the home of the sergeant, where he was put through a rigid third de- gree. At the same time Patrolmen Timothy Sheehan and John Cavanaugh were sent in opposite directions to take the other two members of the gang into custody before the news of Bol- ton’s arrest reached them. Patrolman Sheehan located Glassner without dif- ficulty and he was led to the Beebe home, while Cavanaugh went to the shipping room of the J. N. LaPointe company. where he found Schaffer at work. He, too, was taken to the Beebe residence and there the confessions are alleged to have been made. The request for a continuance of the case was made by Attorney G. Curtis Morgan, representing Glassner. The attorney was unable to be present because of being engaged at the su- perior court in Norwich.

Ac cordingly, with the consent of the au- thorities, he conducted her to Dr. Erd- | mann, superintendent of the Norwich State’ Hospital for the Insane, in or- der that she might be examined by an expert. Dr. Erdmann, after spending much time with her pronounced her undoubtedly insane. As she had been born ang brought up in Norwich it was decided to make an_ attempt to commit her through the Norwich pro- bate court. However, when this_was attempted the first: selectman of Nor- wich brought out in_ his questioning a vague hint that Mabel might at one time have been married. She claimed she had been married three years and had not seen her husband in five years. The fact, however, that she _might have a husband made it possible for Norwich to evade the cost of her care in the asylum, since she would take her_husband’s settlement. Now there was mresented the prob- lem of locating him in order to dis-| cover what her settlement would be. Her conductor brought her back to New London and as it was too late for her i enter the almshouse ar- rangements were made for her care over night. and for her to be broght to the office the first thing in the morning. She managed to slip aay however, early in the morning and was brought up. before the court and re- committed to jail before noon of that day. This was her fourth commit- ment in New London, in addition to eight terms in jail in Norwich, once.in Hartforg and once In New York and other places. Being mentally irres- ponsible, she had been the tool for vears of whoever she might meet and settlement in order that she might at last get the proper care and be pro- tected from herself and others.
