A NEW RESORT, SCOTCH CAP
THE ENEWNAME FOR AN OLD PLACE
 NO MANS LAND.

The Now Haven Railway Will Build an
 Extension to n New Summer Resort Through East Haven and Cosy Beach- Many Prominent People Have Cottages There.
 The New Haven Street Railway com pany has perfected all it's plans for the extension of the road to Cosy Beach. The new branch will leave the old branch at East Haven Green and will run direct to Cosy Beach. The road bed is already completed and the poles ties and rails are on the ground ready to be put in place. The work will be finished by the last of May or the first of June in time for the summer trips along the sound. Cosy Beach has be- come in the last few years very at tractive sitation for a summer cottage. Its one drawback has been it's distance from the railroads or other convenient ways of reaching the city. Now this will be done away with this season, and the boom in buildings, which it has ex- perienced the past two years, will dwindle in comparison with that of the coming summer.
 The road will not end at Cosy Beach, but will extend to No Mans Land, end ing at Bradford's Cove Across the cove is old Den Mansdelds famous racnrf w erat Sb 6ip- ner, surpassed by none and equalled by few. The road, thus extended, will furnish a pleasure trip on a quiet sum- mer's evening out through East Haven and down along the shore, which very few will miss.
 No Mans Land is a piece of property the ownership of which was for long time in dispute. There were a number of claims, none of which were ever satisfactorily proven. Several people taking their chances upon the matter being settled and hoping to obtain the land as squatters, built houses upon it, but these were in every instance burn ed down. At last the town of East Haven applied to the state legislature for clear title in order that they ullSuL CuC IL up IHIO AOIo etllu oCli lei
 Those who first selected the place as a summer resort desired to rename it. In looking about for a suitable name they decided upon Scotch Cap, after the small island which lies a short dist ance off the shore.
 Among the many people who have re- gently built cottages there are Harry Leigh, the well known grocer, who has two cottages there, one having been built last year and one the year be- fore. R. M. Sheridan, the druggist of Grand avenue; Contractor Beebe of Winchester armory, and w. B. Hall, the furniture dealer of State street Messrs. Heaton, Potter and Crockett ot Montowese have houses there. Among others from other places are H. F. Smith of North Haven, who was one of the original founders of Cosy Beach, and Messrs. G. A. Bassett of Hamden, Blakesley of Hartford and Farrel of Waterbury.

BOINAY HANGED.
At 1918 This Mornins-His Neck Broken Instantly-Was Calm to the Last-Made a Statement for the Press.


 a Statement for the Press.
 Hartford, April 14.-Charles A. Boi- nay, who was convicted of the murder of George Marcus Nichols of Trumbull on July 22 last, was executed at the state prison at Wethersfield at 12:1S this morning. His neck was broken instantly and thirteen minutes after wards life was pronounced extinct and the body was lowered into the casket furnished by the state. Friends will take charge of the remains and the interment will be in Bridgeport. The hanging was the sixth one that has occurred in the state prison since the introduction of the so-called automatic gallows, and as on the previous occa- sions Warden Woodbridge was the re- cipient of many congratulations for the despatch with which the gruesome af- fair was executed.
 The hanging of Boinay was the final act to one of the most notable crim- inal cases in the history of the state, and was a fitting climax to case that has abounded in extraordinary fea- lures, Boinay approached his doom with the same coolness and self-pos- session that has characterized his de- meanor from the time of his arrest, throughout his trial and during his in- carceration in the state prison. At the last moment when he was led out of the condemned cell to proceed to the execution room, when he knew but a few seconds only intervened between time and eternity he said his Good byes" without 8 tremor. A few hours previously he was playing his clarionet in a very cheerful manner in his cell, though he would constantly repeat

The CHER Enemy or tho Soldiers IL the AHoS-
quito. but Ers War, All the same.
That part of the United States Army now
cncamped at Fort Wadsworth employs two
methods of warfare on the mosquitoes which
infest the coast. These methods are described
as the direct and the indirect. The direct
method has for its final purpose the extinctIo on
of the enemy, and does not differ In Its essential
asp ects from the plan adopted by civilians. 1t
BET wocn tho hand md tho objective point OF tho
attacking force. II by any chance the impinge-
mcnt should occur without. tho loss OF blood, 1t
Ia instantly proved that the enemy has made
his escape or that the aim OF the soldier was
faulty. However. by frequent practice tho
dcvotees of the direct method have become 80
expert in their aim that almost every effort
ends in gore.
The indirect method is less simple. and has for
itS object not tho determination OF the enemy,
hut tho detention OF. him at n safe distance.
There seems TO be a disagreement OF opinion as
to the best device for accomplishing this pur.
pose. Some hold to tho belief that a canopy OF
blue, should DO drapcd or testOoned above tho
couch of the warrior In such a wav as to impede
every sortie of the enemy. Those who have
selected this way look with scorn upon all other
phases nj the indirect method. Yet there are not
lacking those who assert that the same results
may he attained at much less expense by tying
the head and hands up in a blanket or ponchc,
not forgetting to leave "A small aperture fer
breathing purposes. Still another way which
