Sands, the missing former valet of Wildam Desmond Tay- lor, who was murdered in Los Angeles, Cal,, last week. Neither deeg any record appear under the name of Sthathmore or Snyder under which aliases he is said to have served in the navy at different times. It is claimed that after shaving en- listed at the New Yerk n(w,'y yard in October, 1917, as a ship's cook that he deserted in New London and if so he must have left a ghip while at that port, as no record of his being stationed at the hase is found. - Description, finger prints and speci- mens of the handwriting of a naval de serter belleved by naval officlals to closely resemhle Sands, were gent to the California city Thursday by Rear Ad- miral Thomas Washington, chief of the bureau of navigation of the navy de- partment. The naval career of this deserter was a hectic one, Including a dishonorable discharge for embezzlement, two fraud- ulent re-enlistments and two desertions all within eight years. Names used by the deserter included Edward Fitzgerald Sfyder of Marion, O., and Edward Fitz- william Strathmore of Boston. Sands also used the name of Strathmore.

He is sald to have fraudulently re-enl listed in October, 1917, at the New York navy yard. giving the same name for himself and father as on the first en- listment. He deserted at New London, Conn., in January, 1919, but again fraud- ulently enlisted a month later at Kan- sas City under the name of Strathmore, giving the name of Henry William Fitz- willlam Keats of Lidcolnshire, Englané as his uncle and he final deserted from the |Great Takes Training station on April 2, 1919, At the time of his last enlistment, February, 1919, Ye stated that he was born in 1894 and that his home address was 184 St. Botolph street, Boston, Mass. PRESTON FARM YIELDS STILL, JUGS AND LIQUOR Out in a_wild part of the town of Pres- ton, about €ight miles from this city, An- tonio Hon, 26, and Michael Hateys, 39. were arrested Thursday aftermoon by Def-uty Sherfff Oscar H. Main and Officer Patriok Shahan on the charge of kasping liquor in violation of the Volstead act Sections of a still including a copper ket- tle, with some $ugs and a small quantity of liquor were found at the place and selz- ed by the officers. The men were brought to Nerwich po- lice headquarters and locked up for a time before they were taken by Sheriff Matn for a hearing before Justice of the Peace V. P. A. Quinn, at the state hospital. Wil- Ham Mitchell, grand juror, prosecuted the case, and the men were found guflty and fined $25 each and costs. One paid $70.37 and the other $68.30.

The bill for the last haif of the week at Davis theatre is ome of exceptional merit if the comments on the bill after Thursday night's performance can be taken as a guide. All comments on -the performance on Thursday evening were very favorable, especially those about the featurs act, Lefla Burton's Big Revue, whigh is a very snappy musical comedy revue. The comedy skit, The Drummer s Revenge, presented by the Edna May Foster Co., was clever and DM\IM’V. of many good laughs. Stanley and Warren In a singing and talking comedy act came in_ for a falr share of applause for the Numbers and lines which were ‘up to the minute. The sensational revolving ladder act presented by Bates anl Laddy is one of the best acts of its kind touring the vaudeville stage. The feature motion picture is Beyond, with Gloria Swanson in: the Jeading role. This is a production of the late William D. Taylor. A news weekly and a comedy fitlm completed the well balanced bill. Westbrook Wiman 100 Years Old._ Mrs. Jerusha (Stokes) Howard, a na- tive of Westbrook, celebrated her 100th birthday Wednesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Franklin M. Rose of Ivory- ton. She is the daughter of Richard and Mary Ann (Kirtland) Stokes. In early lifo she married Elisha. Howard and spent most of her married life in Westbrook. Mr. Howard dled 3(3 years Aifred G. ul'lrlmdqq. who was coming to Nerwich, picked up the occupants of the Narwieh car and brought them to Hisk's drug store where they were attendad by Dr. E. J. Brophy and later taken to their home on Fifth strest. The Sigk car is practically a total wreck. mlm%d\a-u and rear wheels being smashed twisted. The other car a Studebaker, suffered crushed mud- guards, a broken wheel and other materi- 8l damege. The Ford was brought to this clty late Thursday evening and those that went after the wreck reorted that the number. plates en the Studebaker had been re- moved and that when they saw the car there wer, no means of ident¥fication. Laurence _\olan, brother of-the driver of the Ford machine, is positive that he re- cognized the driver of the Studcbaker as Mr. Wolfe and in fact asked him if he was not Mr. Woife of the Norwich Motor Car company to which he rapifed in the affirmative. The state police were nottfied and an investigation of the aceident is under way. The loeal police were also notified of the acoldent. §17,076,580 FIRE LOSS IN STATE IN FIVE YEARS During the five years ending with 1920 fire losses in Conhecticut caused the de- struction of property valued at the as- tonishing total of $17,070,539, acoording to figures made publle Thursday by the national board of fire underwriters, which complled the statistics from its actuarial bureau’s records. These figures reveal, in a startling way, the price being paid by this state for public ignorance and care- lessness in handling fire hazards, The causes are classified under three headings of which twelve are designated as “strictly preventable” with a total of $5, 075,019 or 20.7 per centfl of the whale nine are Gesignated as “partly prevent- able" the aggregate being $5,500,770 or 32.2 per cent. of the complete loss, and in addition there are those listed in the “un known” column, which total 36,494,750 or 38.1 pper cent. The “unknown' ‘logses may be considered as largely proventable, since, i determined they would have been distributed among the other causes. In analyzing the figures, # is found that while “extposure,” which means the effect of communicated fires, was respon- sible for the heaviest lass, $1,874,153, the principal specific cause of fire was Match- es-smoking” with a toll of $1,510,286, This indicates the existence of numerous care- less mokers in Connecticut. Next in im- portance, as causes of fire, were “eleciric- ity,” $1,123, 285! then “defective chim- neys and flues,” $1077,085; and then “stoves, furnaces, boilers and their pipes, $1,022,067. The losses during the five years wers as follows: Strictly preventable causes: Defective chimneys and flues, $1,077.065; fire- works, firecrackers, ' etc., $28.226; ges, natural and artificial, $93,771; hot ashes and eoals, open fires, $231,30; ignition of hot grease, oil. tar, wax, asphalt, ete. $118,591; matches, smoking, $1,510,286; open lights, $173,667; petroleum and its produets, $505.787; rubbish and litter, $61,413; sparks on Troofs, $250,68 steam and hot water pipes. $22,21 stoves, furnaces, bollers and their pipes, $1.002,067. Total, $5,075.019. -Partly preventable causes: Electricity, $1,123,285; explosions, $67,580; exposure (including conflagrations), $1,874.153; sparks from machinery, $463,723; ince dlarism, $167,467; lightning, $549,065; miscellaneous known causes, $392055; sparks from combustion, $204,102; spon- taneous combustion, $658,940. Total, $5,500.750. \ Unknown causes (probably largely pre- ventable), $6,494,750. The total loss was $17,070,539. Connecticut stands 26th among all of the states in the amount of loss by fire and the flgures quoted should be fin- creased by about 25 per cent. to cover losses not reported to the national hoard of fire underwriters. The state’s losses during the five years from 1916 to 1920, inclusive, averaged $3,414,107 per annum. If the toal of $17,070,539 could have been used instead of wasted, it would have built 3.414 houses at $5,000 aplece, suf- ficient to furnich homes for 17,070 peo- ple, or nearly the population of Ansonia, or it would have built 1,707 miles of good macadam roads at $10,000 a mile. A study of such figures sindicates the need of public education in fire preven- tlon. It ghould be realized that property destroyed by fire represents at utter and irretrievable loss to the people as a whole while the inexcusable toll in human life and suffering can hardly be computed, says the board. PUTNAM MEN PRESENTED BEFORE COMM'R MATHEWSON Tony Rosi and Resie Lavine, both of 23 Mechanic street, Putnam, were pre- sented for hearing before U. S. Commis- sioner Farl Mathewson fn . this city on Thursday morning on 3 charge of having in their possession and operating a still. Both were arrested by the Putnam polica and later turned over to the federal pro- hibition authorities. & police reported that they found the still in operation and also found a quantity of moonshine and about 150 gallons of mash. | The hearing was continued for a week and both defendants were released under bonds of $500. NORWICH TRAFFIC COP NOW IN SPOTLIGHT The Norwich traffic policeman a! Shannon’s corner now stands in a spot- light as soon as it grows dark. A strong electric light with a reflector has been arranged on the pole at the corn- er so that it sheds its rays on the officer BS he stands at his post, makihg it im- possible for drivers of machines not to see the officer as they reach the cormer. It has been found, especially in the lusk of the early evening before the ' street lights were turned on, that it was not an easy thing for drivers of machines to see the officer or catch his signals —_— Massasolt Mtg.
