MajeIit of Then Stay For Fourth De-
 gree Exercises This Evening.

New Haven. Conn. June S.--Several
 f the Knights of Columbus who at tended the national convention here this week left for their homes today, although many of them remained over for the complication of the fourth degree which will take place in Music hall it 43O o'clock this afternoon.
 This evening there will be full dress parade of all fourth degree members and the busy week of the knights will end with banquet at the Pequot house in Morris Cove.
 The morning was taken up in sight seeing.
 The greater part of yesterday af- ternoon was taken up by discussion and revision of the bylaws of the so- ciety. The only change of any mo- ment was the raising of the initia- tion fee from So to minimum of $10. There is no limit to the amount that may be levied by each individ- ual council. A new scale was adopted for extra hazardous risks which will only apply to new members.
 Father Daniel Gunnion of New York city made appeal for financial aid for the Bowery mission to which he is especially devoted. This will be considered further and money will no doubt be advanced, for the Knights are heartily in accord with the work.
 Norfolk, Va, was chosen as the place of the next annual convention. The Jamestown exposition will be in full blast there at the time chosen which is the first week in August.
 A plea was made by the California delegates, Joseph Scott, Neal Powers and George A. Connolly, for aid from the national body for the earthquake victims. Eloquent Knight Scott pie tured the conditions existing in San Francisco and how badly help was needed. He was backed up by the oth- CT two and after some deliberation it was voted to assess per capita of 40 cents. which will enable the national body to make, with their original contribution, approximately $100.000 for the sufferers. This money will be pointed by the national council by the first of July. 1t is expected.
 One of the important matters at yesterdays meeting was the election of the new men to serve on the board of directors. The following list is complete with the candidates and the votes they received, the first five men being elected: J. c. Pelletier of Bos- ton, Mass. S9: E. w. Buckley. St Paul, Minn, so; D. P. Lucey, Ogdens- burg. N. Y., 7S: D. J. Callahan. Nor folk. Va. IT; J. S. Leahy, St Louis, Mo, II; F. E. Kuhn, Nashvilie, Tenn. 59; J. E. Smith. Brooklyn, N. r., 55; J. A. Mercier, Montreal. Can, 54; D. F. Buckley. Boston. Mass. 47; John P. Dunn, Ottawa, Can. 47; J. J. Fitz- gerald, Louisville. Ky. 21; George J. Gibson, Salt Lake City, Utah, IS. Four were to serve on the board for three years and the fifth, J. s. Leahy, serves for two years.

Divorce Case Middle.

Few women can lay claim to an ex
 perience like that which Mrs Carrie
 E. Burwell of East Main street wen,
 through last week She was divorced
 yet she was not divorced. Through an error in the proceedings for heI petition for divorce, the case was al lowed to go to trial before 1t was le gally ripe. It should have been !n court a certain time, ninety days al least. before 1t could have been tried and 1t seems that it lacked a few days of that period.
 Judge Reed is very careful in al. vorce matters. As general thing he examines most all of the witnesses himself. thereby clearing up to his own satisfaction any point that may be left clouded by counsel. He ex- amined the witnesses in the Burwell case and granted Mrs Burwell a de- cree and the custody of her three children.
 When Clerk Marsh was making up the file a day or so later 1t transpired that the case was not the statutory period in court. Judge Reed was accordingly notified and the divorce decree which he had issued was re- voked. Thus Mrs Burwell was oaly free from her obnoxious bonds a day or so.
 The case was heard again to-dsy and the same ground was covered in every respect that was gone over las, Friday. There was no mistake about the case this time and the second time Mrs Burwell was given a decree and the custody of her three chil. dren. The last heard of Burwell he had made on with a farmers daugh. ter in Newtown, about seven years ago.
 The only other case heard today was that of Bertha Megin against Horace J. Megin. Desertion and h. fidelity were alleged and the custody of a minor child requested The court did not think there was saf- ficient evidence to warrant him grant Ing divorce and the case was con tinued.

In District Court.


 The criminal jury in the district court was engaged to-day on the case of the state against Anelli Novelli wno was charged with keeping liquor for sale in the Earle house. Bank street. Attorney Guilfoile, who con- ducted the defense, had lively run in with Officer Noonan. The latter testified that the place was notorious for illegal selling of liquor and the attorney claimed that after the trial in the city court the officer had told him 1t had no such reputation. The officer denied most emphatically ever making such statement to Mr Guilfoile and then they went at it and the jury had great time. It was evidently the first occasion on which some of the jurors saw a law yer get real mad at witness. The case was not finished at noon and court adjourned to next Tuesday. The cases against Gustave Cornelis for illegal fishing, John B. Birney for breach of the peace, Benedict E. Hausdorf for violating the liquor laws and Carmine Martone for rent ing house for disorderly purposes will be heard next week.

SHE TOLD FORTUNES
And Ms Lathrop DspIeased Her Hus-
 band Another Divorce Case.

The last words that passed be-
 tween Edwin U. Lathrop and his wife
 were words of hot anger. Mrs La
 throp had told him what she h,d
 discovered about his other life, as
 alleged, and she said that if he in-
 tended throwing her on for some ore
 else she was going to make him pay
 dearly for 1t, make him support her
 as she was accustomed to be support
 ed while she lived with him. So she
 told Judge Reed yesterday in the su- perior court. She positively denied
 that in any of the previous examina-
 lions she ever stated that she would fix her husband with a bullet. When they were parting he told her that she could have everything in the
 house. but it turned out that he took everything, practically.
 All through her married life she
 kept a diary, and 1t was from this she has been testifying right along. She would record on this book all that transpired during the week of any consequence. When 1t develonad that it was impossible for them to live together any longer, the point on
 which the controversy settled was the amount of money he was willing to give and the amount she wanted. On that they could never agree. The largest sum he ever offered her was $50 a month. Now she said she could get along on $150 a month. She calculated her expenses the other day and found this sum to be suf- f1cient
 Only once during their married life did she displease him, and on that occasion he had his revenge. They were at Branford Point, and the women of the place, to while away the time. got up party for the bene- fit of an old couple living in t,..s place. After all the plans were made and 1t was too late to with draw, her husband put his foot down and cried halt to her. But she could not withdraw. and her part in the party was fortune teller. Next morn ing her husband packed her off to Waterbury, bag and baggage, and they put up in room in his Bank street property. She said he had often said the bugs would eat them out of this place and she made up her mind to quit 1t. He did not ob- ject vigorously and at the end of the week she went to friends in Hart ford. Her husband gave her $5 and she took $29 in dimes from a vase in which they used to bank all their spare dimes.
 Rocco Traficanti was granted di- vorce from Caterina Traficanti on the grounds of desertion. These peo- pie were married in New York and lived contentedly together until they moved to Naugatuck The delicate odor that permeates that town did not agree with the defendant and she went back to New York. She wrote | the plaintiff that If he would pay her $500 she would not bother him ever again and he told her she was on the track. Several times she attempted | to get $500 from him and concluded | in the end that she was as her hus- band said, on the track. He has not | heard from her in Ovar fhroo arc

Mrs. Trepp was personally known to
many Of the pioneers of this county,
and she was beloved by all for her
friendly disposition and splendid char.
acter Born in Pigneu. Switzerland,

This is the fitting name which an
operator has given to the new variable
line spacer on the new model Reming-
tons. To the typewriter operator it
means big gain in speed and accu-
racy right where speed and accuracy
are needel-in adjusting the paper.
How often does your operator have
TO adjust the paper in the machine /?
Many, many times a day-and this no
matter what machine you use. When
it is necessary to re-insert the sheet
a second or third time for additions
or corrections then so many more re-
adjustments are required.
Figure how much of your operators
time this wastes. Figure how much
it would save to make the adjustments
instantly.
That's what the new Remington var.
liable line spacer does. Just slight
pressure on the thumb wheel, that's
all it takes. 1t saves time. it insures
absolute accuracy and it saves the op.
orators patience. Then. too, it saves
the cylinder-changes the writing sur
face constantly and thus makes 1t last
twice as long.
The improvements on the new Rem
ington models are all designed to save
the operators time and secure still
higher quality of work.
The new variable line Snacer Is one
OF these improvements There are
others.

for the sailors, his companions, saying
they were so young and honest, and
he would prefer to die alone. The

DARING BANK ROBBERY.
Thieves Get Nearly Half a Million
In Cash.


Moscow, March 22.-The Credit Mu-
tual one of the largest banks in Mos
cCw. was mysterious1y robbed by
masked men at dusk last night, the
robbers securing $423,500. 1t was an
unusually daring job. The facts already
developed raise the question whether
the robbery was committed by or un-
der the direction of someone at pres
ent Or previously employed in the in.
stitutiOn.
The bank is situated in Ilinka street,
in the heart of the city The last Of
the clerks had just departed, leaving
an inside guard of three men, while
under the porte cochere outside were
policeman and the house porter
The street was crowded with people
hurrying homeward.
According to the story of the guards,
in the twinkling of an eye they were
confronted with revolvers in the
hands of twenty masked men, who
he'd entered silently by the main door,
which had been locked when the office
force left. After command to the
guards to hold up their hands not a
word was spoken.
The guards were quickly bound and
gagged and thrown into dark corner.
The robbers then took up positions
at all the entrances, and the curtains
of the windows were lowered. The
chief of the robbere who directed the
operations of his assistants by ges-
lures. showed thorough familiarity
with the location of the vaults. When
all was ready he went to the heavy
burglar proof safe and with few
twirls of the knob threw the comb
nation of the lock, the heavy doors
swung open and the treasure of the
bank was revealed.
The plumber consisting of gold, sill
yer and notes, was speedily thrust in
to sacks. When a clean haul of the
money had been made, not kOpeck
being left. the robbers departed as ST.

through the main entrance and leav-
ing no trace behind them.
They had been in the bank less than
half an hour Twenty minutes later
one of the guards succeeded in re-
leasing himself and gave the alarm.
The dumfounded policeman and house
porter, who had been standing in
front of the bank throughout. claim
they had seen no one enter or leave
! it.
An immense crowd was attracted to
the scene by the news of the robbery.
NJ. Vitchniakoff, the managing direc-
tor of the bank after a hasty investi-
CATION, hasented off to consult Gov
General Doubaschoff. 1t is the gen
eral impression that the key to the
mystery is within the bank.

THEY WILL BE- HELD IN EACH
WARD THIS EVEN.
ING.

Every Republican in the city should
remember that the ward primaries are
to be held this evening for the pur-
pose of nominating three candidates

attend the meetings. The first ward
primary will be held at the office of
G. M. Kelly, in the Electric building:
the second at the office of the Lewis
town Telephone company. and the
third at the city hall.

Republicans feel confident of electing
all three candidates.
The next matter of importance fol-
lowing these primaries is that of reg
istering. Every qualified Republican
elector should see to it that his name
is on the list. E. w. Mettler is the
registrar, and will open the list at his
office in the Lang building, on Main

benefit of those unavoidably absent
during the regular days. Mr.. Mettler
will also register taxpayers for the
water works bond election.

The Democratic primaries were held
last evening. the attendance in each
of the three wards being very light.

following were endorsed as candidates,
to be formally nominated at a city
convention to be held Monday even
ing at the city hall:
First ward. Marion Leach: second
ward. A. Mansell: third ward, ]. E.
Lane. It is not known whether any
one Of these gentlemen will accept.
At this convention it is also proposed
to adopt a platform. It is rumored

plans and specifications for such a
document.
