RESIDENCE ————— Jewelry and $200 in cash were stolen Wednesday morning at the home of Mrs. Ewald R. von Hornig of 323 Washing- ton street by a transient roomer who went throught her apartment while she was at breakfast. Mrs. Yon Hornig did not discover her loss until about two hours and a half after the man had left the house, but she at once notified the police and furn- ished them a description of the .thief Wwho had given the name of Lee when he came to her house Tuesday and hired a room. Descriptions of the man were wired to police departments in other cities in the hopes that the thief might be located and watch was kept here in case he had mot left the city. As he had such a good start before the theft was discovered -it is probable that he had got well away from the city before the search for him began. Besides the money, Mrs. von Homnig lost three gold rings, one with a dia- mond in it, another was an aquamarine, and the third had a black stone engraved with a coat of arms.. The thief also took a gold watch, belonging to Rev. Robert B. Day, rector of Grace church, Yan- tic,’ who rooms at Mrs. von Hornig's house. The watch had the restor's ini- tials on it in a monogrom. According to the report made by Mrs. von Hornig, the man gave the name of Lee when he engaged the room Tues- day. He said he was an artist and lived in Waterford and had a studio in New London. Wednesday morning he was up- stairs alone while the other people in the house were at breakfast and it is supposed that was the time when he se- cured the money and jewelry. He left the house about § o'clock. Mrs. von Hornig did not discover the theft until she had occasion about 10.30 to get some money to pay a bill. The man was tall and stout, about 35 years old, smooth face, bald on the front of his head. He wore a grayish colored overcoat, gray soft hat, carried a grip and wore overshoes.

However, when Peter left town presumably for Westerly, R. 1., he did not wear a straw bat, although he did wear a blue suit and tan shoes. A straw hat was found near the body last Sunday; Owing to the length of time that the body was exposed to the weather, the features were unTecogniza ble and the labels in the clothing, which might furnish a clue as to the identity, were rotted away. t Delisle appeared at the polls at Taft- ville Tuesday catrying a paper bag, in which he’ stated were portions of /the man’s body, and which hq offered to ex- hibit to the election officials, but they declined to view the remains.

Pearson of the New Haven railroad gives the reasons why the road has found It necessary to put into effect a partial embargo, and ac- companies it with an explanation of what the road is doing to better its ser= vice and bring it back to normal condi- tions. His statement says; With embargoes of varying on every connecting system, and their Tecent application to two routes caus- ing unusual diversions to our gateways, the gradually accumulating effect on normal movement, and routings has be- come such that the New Haven finds it necessary to place a partial embargo-i order to regulate trafic and maintain maximum capacity in the interest of its patrons, and to insure continued com- pliance with the service orders of the interstate commerce commission. The New Haven withes to place the faces in the present situation before its shippers, to express appreciation of co- operation which has been so splendidly afforded, and to ask the continuation necessary under the circumstances, to secure the best combination of results for all. The present transportation capacity of the system is indicated by -the re- cent increase in daily averages of loads at destination, between 10,500 and 11,- 000 and which approximate the simfar averages during the record of heavy movement of traffic during the heavier eight months of 1919. Further, there are approximately 15,000 to 18,000 car- loads on the road moving to destination and” which will be given delivery as rapidly as practicabie without conges- tion. Back of this there is a still fur- ther volume of freight, indicating a con- tinuation of the recent increase of cars on the road. The situation is therefore reached, in which additional cars will occasion congestion and commence to diminish 'transportation capacity. The necessary rezulation of traffic by" this partial embargo will operate gradually toward a reduction of cars en route, safeguarding congestion, and reducing delay to equipment which will increase the availability of cars for all general use. The demand for cars in grain territory, at Buffalo, at the steel mills, and generally everywhere, compels the character 16,680, A Jordan best attention and every possible step, to avoid congestion and delay from whatever cause. It is the purpose of the road, in safe. guarding against congestion and the de- lay to cars by loading more rapldly than can be promptly handléd, to pro- tect to the utmeost its full transporta- tion capacity and the requirements of its patroms, a course which is vemg pursued with full confidence, bekieving that recourse to outside or unusual pro- visions . for transportation will be ren- dered unnecessary, that the_more nor- mal situation will be brought~about ear- ly, and that the traffic and revenues as well, can be retained to the New Haven road. Availing of the advantage arising from some recent improvements in credit, the’ road has commenced the construction of an additional 30 foot by 1200 foot transfer platform at Cedar Hill, is providing additiopal tracks at certain necessary points, is construet- ing several coal docks and making some increase in engine terminal shops with a view of increasing mechanical depart- ment capacity, and has contracted for 12 large passenger electrics wnlch n turn will release a larger number of steam locomotives. for other service. The shop forces, now substantially fully recruited, are carrying not only the current requirements but are aiding in the overcoming of work that neces- sarily commenced to accrue after the complete desertion of the shops by ¥er- mer employes and their militant atti- tude thereafter. p In anticipation of te football and ving travel, and the heavier demand on power -incidental to winter weather, the road has distributed ‘many of its engines to a large number of out- side shops for repairs, in order that the service to the public may be assisted m the still more rapid overcoming of de- layed maintenance. In addition, in the organization of the new shop forces, two sHifts of crews on the heavier_ repair work on engines at the more important engine terminals, will be used hereafter, thus shortening time of engines out of service and in- creasing availability. /With the . effec- tive, completion of these various ma:: ters, present capacity under existing conditions which approximates that during past periods of heavy traffie, will materially exceed that of any ' period eretofore. A One of the more seridus causes for unsatisfactory service recently, has beén due to an occasional cargo of inferior foreign coal, on which it was necessary to rely following the reduction in sup- ply from onr own mines and later from Nova Scotia. At the present time, how- ever, the increasing supply of higher grades of fuel under our regular con- iracts, is encouraging. It is the purpose of the management in outlining this situation and .n re- questing aid and cooperation, to mnot only exert every endeavor to the inter- ests of its patrons in the present situa tion, but to continue its po] of such additional improvements possible so that capacity and service will con- stantly tend in the directlon of batter- ment. » WEST SIDE PINGCHLE IN SIXTH NIGHT OF PLAY his lead Wednesday even- M¥ in the sixth night of play by the West Side Pinochle club, but Schuler was sent from second to sixth place, which was the biggest upsét of the evening.

Ives, the poultry association; former Senatdr Elijah Rogers, the pomological society: H. B. Stoddard, the swine raisers: H. L. Langdon, Al- lan Latham of Norwich and Louis St. Clair Burr, the bee keepems’ associa- tion and Henry Dorrance, the sheep breeders’ association. Senator Rogers called attention to the necessity of encouraging farm la- bor, and pointed out the present scar- city of it. He said that Connecticut could use all the fruit that was grown in the state. He did not think it should be necessary for the Connecticut Ag- ricultural college to buy food which could be grown on its own land. Sena tor Rogems urged that farming better than manufacturing or other business enterprises. “There is no het- ter business than farming,” said Sen- ator Rogers. Dr. Meredith remarked that $300,- 000 a year was spent on the trades schools in the state. Mr. Latham of the beekeepens as- sociation said that pupils of agricul- tural colleges should be taught refine- ment. I know of one place where I|% saw the students fed like animals Mr. Latham said. Mr. Farnham of the market garden- ers association referred to the need of a greater supply of labor and said that he would be obliged to reduce the acre- age of his land under cultivation be- cause of his inability to get help. Til- son that it was likely that there would be a further restriction on immigration by the reduction of the rate from three to two per cent. Mr. Farnham said the proper kind of immigrants were not coming to the country. We are letting in a lot of families who can read and write but who do not want to work. We should get more brawn and muscle.” said Mr. Farmham. —_— DESCEIBES EARLY GEOLOGY OF EASTERN CONNECTICUT ‘What the early geology of this section of the state reveals was told by Rev. Edward M. Chapman of New London in an address at convocation at Connecticut college Tuesday afternoon upom Connec- ticut of Earlier Days. He told of the early formation of the land in the vieinity before the glacier period and said that where the billows of rocks and wood now swept in diminish- ing ranks toward the sea, was formerly a plain and the present high irregularity was forced upon it not by great upheaval of a volcanic sort, but by the wearing process of grinding ice, rumning water and the gradual sinking of the coast. “Our -fundamental rocks are granite and gneiss and date back to Archaean or Paleozoic time. In those inconceivably distant days there were, quite possibly mountains of Alpine height where now we find our pleasant eastern- and western hill. A great estuary or bay swept up from the south into the interior of the state. The waters from the highlands running down into this bay left their deposits of mud and sand out of which the abundant fossil-bearing sandstones of the Portland and Middletown reglon were formed. Then it was that thebrown- stone fronts which played so large a part in the building of New York seventy-five years ago were made possible; for the material of them came very largely out of the sandstone quarries of ours. “When the college chapel is bullt I hope that it will be as sightly and as beautiful as the new library: that it will have a tower; and that in the tower ‘here will be one stage or storey for ob- servation purposes. I could wish thit in- to its solid floor there might be set a mar- iners compass in mosaic tuned ‘to true North, since of course the magnetic north changeseach' year, and then around it at a proper distance and in some inconspicu- ous and perhaps temporary way I would mark an artificial horizon with the names and the bearings of the different bodies of land and water that arrest the eye. For our landscape is not only obe of singular charm; its charm is due in no small measure to its variety and intricacy. Very few strangers looking from this hilitop have any definite idea at all what they really see. They think that they are looking at Long Island and Long Island Sound; whereas they may be gazing squarely into Fisher’s Island Sound and if the day be ever so siightly hazy, may have no single glimpse of Long Island itself; but only of the islands which FIERY, ITCHING SKIN IS QUICKLY SOOTHED WITHTHISSULPHUR will soothe and tated or brokr zema: that h or pimples, or is rough or d bdue: fiery skin erup noted skin sheci ‘The moment t tion is applied after two or eczema right A ‘small phur may store.
