AFTER pEcks MURDERER.
Hartford Police Think They are Now on the
Fisnds' Track.

HARTFORD, Ct, March 12.-The inyes j.
CATION made by the authorities into the
murder of Robert II. Peck 1t West Hart
ford, Saturday night, has resulted in de-
veloping an important clue. 1t is consid-
cred certain by many that the two young
men, strangers to the conductor. who rode
out on the car with Peck, are the murder
ers. A more definite and tole rably accurate
description of the men has been obtained
and their arrest is expected within few
hours. They are residents of this city and
left here some time during the day yester-
day. They have been traced north about
Windsor Locks and deputy sherlffs left for
Springfield and Northampton on the 30
T.. M. train to continne the search.
Other evidence has been found which
tends to connect these two men with the
deed, and the police and county officers are
confident that they have correct clue.
The local police and county authorities for
miles around Hartford have been notified
and it seems barely possible that the men
can escape arrest. They are well known in
this tiy. Near Peck's body was found the
face part of cuff button about seven
ghths of an inch square, made of mother
of pearl. This belonged to one OF the
muriersrs.
Mrs. G. Frank Barber, West Hartford,
the murdered mans sister, has apparently
some strong Suspicious as to who the muir
derers were, but refuses TO talk on the
subject. Peck had $50 in his pocket when
he left he me, Saturday night, and is not
known to have spent much of II before
night. The murderers took everything of
value from his person excep. razor and
linen handkerchief. Peck will be buried
from his fathers home at West Hartford At
| 80 Wedne sdav morning.
Governor Morris this afternoon issued q
proclama,i,n Offering $1,000 reward to the
person who shall give information which
win lead to the apprehension and convic-
ton of the murdt rer Of Robert s. Peck,
West Hartford, on Saturday.

SMUGGLING POTATOES.
A Carload Seized At Session Tor Fraudulent
Entry at vancebore.

BosroN, March IA carload of pota
toes was seized at the Boston & Maine
freight yards, this morning, when were
shipped from the provinces and fraudu.
lenuy entered at the Nanceboro custom
house. There were PA barrels and the
invoice showed 1874 barrels entered at the
Vanceboro custom house.
The potatoes were originally shipped
from Bridgewater, Me-, where the 1914 bar
fels were first placed on the car. To COM
ply with the customs law it was necessary
10 take the car over the Canad ian border.
and, as the potatoes were of American pro-
duction, q transient manifest was given
with the load which would admit the rota-
toes Vie n they were agail brought AZ ross

1t is thought by the officials that while
the train was on the way along the border
and within foreign territory, the 90 extra
barrels were placed upon the car. Customs

nothing has - yet been done toward con
tinuipg the experiments to determine N
{ ect Of heavy explosions near BY upon life
within submarine torpedo boat. The las'
few days, however, have been employed II
collecting data preliminary to making q re-
port to the chi.f of the bureau of ordnance
The lay boat which was used has been
photographed, and dfaughtsman's sketches
have been made of the depfestions 10 III
tides, which resulted from the last explo-
ZION, was 80 feet distant from it. These
depressions are on both sides of the cigar
shaped craft, and more pronounced in
places which were furthest from the explo-
sion than in those which were nearest to
the mine, ilIustrating the correctness of .
theory Of Gen. Abbott upon the effect of
explosions, which was for some time re-
garded ~ peculiar.
1t has been decided not to use lay boat
No. again. ~ it il necessarily weakened
By its indentations and would break next
time. Nothing could be gained as the re.
salt of another explosion near it. 1t stood
far more than was expected of it, even with
ifs special interior strengthening. Lay boat
No 2 undoubtedly will be prepared for .
continuance of the tests if the chief Of the
bureau of ordnance desires to 60 on.
The real purpose of the experiments,
however. seems to have been reached. it
having been clearly shown that submarine
torpedo boat can discharge from its bow .
Whitehead or Howell automobile torpedo
and explode it against an object
as near IS so feet, and that the
reaction will bring no danger to the
crew of the boat from which the torpedo is
discharged. Eighty feet, however, Is
stated to be far closer quarters than would
ever be nece ssary for torpedo boat to
fight in, and furthermore the mechanical
arrangements in the nose of the Whitehead
is not intended to detonate that torpedo
within 1870 feet of the boat from which it 10
fired. Therefore the point demonstrated by
the last explosion of the series that men in
submarine torpedo boat ore safe within
so fest of an explosion of 10 pounds of
gun cotton is within the bounds Of probable
conditions of torpedo mechanism.
