Lockwood on February 27 year ago was begun in the superior court this morning at 10 o'clock Court opened at ths usual hour. 9.3O, but as many of tie sixty five jurors summoned were not on hand recess was taken to 10 o'clock. Judge Shumway presided.
 At 10 o'clock all the jurors were present and the roll call Was gone over for the third time, after which The challenging began. Assistant State 5 Attorney Kellogg was assisted by At. torney Meigs, prosecutor in the cit. court. while the defense was repre- scented by Attorneys Pierce and Suii- foile. The principal questions asked of the jurors by the state were: Have you any objection to capital punishment being imposed in cases where it is deservedi' and Would you believe person guilty of murder if you were instructed by the court that an alder and abettor to murder. even though he did not strike blow, is as guilty of the murder as the one who did strike the blows?' The questions asked by the defense were:
 Did you know Thomas C. Lock ! wood:' Did you read of this case in the newspapers:" Have you formed an opinion as to who committed the murder of Lockwood:"
 At o'clock only eight jurors had been selected. They were Frank A. Hotchkiss. Cheshire: E. c. Cowles. North Branford: Stephen A. Tal- madge, Prospect: Edgar H. Jones, Milford: Dwight NJ. Foote, North Branford; Oliver Powell, Ansonia: By ron l.. Morse. Prospect; and James D. Goldsmith. Guilford. -
 Up to that hour the state had ex- cused seventeen, the defense fifteen. and the court nine. The state had three more challenges and the defense five
 It is now very probable that Leon ard will plead guilty to murder in the second degree and that Attorney Kel- logg will accept it. It will all depend, however on what the verdict in this case will be- If the jury reports for manslaughter Leonard will not plead guilty to murder in the second degree by any means. notwithstanding that he was present in the house when the fatal blows were dealt old man Lock- wood. and. according to Bassett's evil dence. Leonard dealt some of the blows. Leonard can decline to testify on the grounds that his testimony might tend to incriminate himself. But he will not do this. 1t Is said.
 The fight will revolve round the medical testimony. The case will no doubt begin tomorrow. if not late tiiIs afternoon. and will last about . week.

WESLEYAN FIRE North College Burned
 This Morning. STUDENTS ESCAPED Many of Them Fled in Their Night Clothes So Rapid
 Was the Spread of
 the Flames.

MiddfetOwn, March 1.-Wesleyais university sustained severe loss by fire early to-day. when old North CO., lege was practically destroyed by a fire which started in the attic and burned so rapidly that hardly anything was saved. The loss is placed at ESQ., GOO, $700OO of which is on the build ing. The burned building was erected in 1927, for academy purposes and was purchased by Wesleyan d few years later. It formed the nucleus of the present college group and was of great historic interest at Wesleyan. About the only things saved from the fire were the college records of President Raymond and Prof Nicholson, the sec retary of the faculty.
 A small college club had rooms in the attic of the building and left their quarters about II o'clock last night. Two or three hours later students liv- ing directly below smelled smoke, but could find no fire and went back to bed. Later they were driven from their rooms by the smoke. A still alarm was sent in, but as soon as the firemen arrived there they saw the seriousness of the fire and sent in a general alarm. The building could not be saved. however.
 All of the 150 students in the build- ing made their escape and many left the building in their night clothes. They will be provided with temporary quarters in the Wesleyan club house.
 North college contained 15D rooms. nearly all of which were fitted up in excellent style. It was the fayorite dormitory of the university. The heavy loss by the fire is nearly covered by in surance

 Dr SinOns says the recent efforts of the government to establish pub lfc school system to which the people are opposed, particularly ill the teach ing of the English language in the schools, is responsible for the unrest and the anti-foreign feeling. Foreign residents of Canton, he says, are liy- ing in constant fear of a violent out break.

TUG TURNED TURTLE
And Sank Before the Captain Could Land Three of the Crew
 Were Drowned.

Gloucester, Mass, March 1.-The little Yarmouth, Maine, tug Willard bound from Boston for York. Maine, struck ledge of Rockport break water early to-day and turned ever and sank while her captain was try ing to beach her Two of the tug crew were rescued by the Pigeon Cove life savers, but it was believed that three other men on, board tle tug were drowned.
 The saved are Captain Emery R. Sawyer and E w. Webber, fireman.
 The drowned are Joseph E. Thomp- son, engineer; Gregory Pearson cook, and George H. Griggson, deckhand
 The Willard was ill command of Captain Emery Sawyer and was own ed by Hamilton < Sawyer of Yar- mouth, Maine. She sailed from Bos- ton on Monday but put in at Glouces- ter yesterday to seek refuge from the storm. At a. m. today she started on her voyage heading for the Maine coast. A heavy sea was running and she had a hard time passing outside RockpOrt breakwater. Suddenly per sons who had been watching through marine glasses saw the Willard was careening and then to list so badly that 1t was certain she was taking water. \ little later she rolled over and disappeared. Those who had witnessed the accident telephoned to the ROckpOrt life saving station and the life savers got out boat and af- ter hazardous and trying row sue ceeded in picking up two badly eK- hausted men. They were the only ones seen by the life saving crew though it was understood that the tIg carried five men. The rescued ones were taken to the life saving station for treatment The Willard left Bos- ton Tuesday carrying iron parts of q dredge to be used at York. Maine. Otherwise she was light Among her five men. besides Captain Sawyer. were J. F. Thomnson. engineer. and George IT. Griggson. cook. The names of the saved and lost had not been learned at 10 o'clock.
 The Willard was formerly the Will lard Clam and was built in Portland. Maine. 1874. and reeisterad % tons gross and 12 tons net Her length ""F IVr-i. uti DIcdutu UpT HPDIl of hold 4 feet.
 Cantain Sawyer and Fireman Web Der owe their escape to a most fortu- nate circumstance according to the story which the life savers were able fO gain from them. The captain says that the tng was ton heavy from the fact that she carried on the forward deck a huge Iron digger nseS by dredping machines. This cansed her to turn over. AS she rolled a ilorv which was on dnck was thrown cff and it landed right side m. Tnpin- eer Webher was onick enough to jump in but Captain Sawyer was thrown into the water. He reached the dory by swimming. Nothing was seen of the others on board and it is thought they ether went down with the tug or sank upon being thrown into the water. In the dorv they kent afIoat until the life savers reached them. The captain's hands and feet are frozen so badly that it ,0s feared to- day an operation will have to be per formed. Wehber who was rowing fin the dorv suffered less severely al- though his extremities were painfully frost bitten.

Fortunate in It's Results.

Last Saturday morning, between
three and four O'Clock, passenger train
No. 3 and an extra freight we're in col
lision at the west end of the switch at
Schramm, Colo, twenty one miles west
of Wray, Colo. No one was severely
injured, Mrs. M. G. Kerns and A. E.
Shepard, doth claiming residence in
Omaha, were slightly hurt. Eight
freight cars were ditched and both en-
gines damaged. The passenger train
was not moving, which explains in a
large measure the immunity from loss
of life or injuries of a serious nature, or
great damage to power and equipment
generally. Enginemen on both trains
jumped, hence none were injured.
Passenger train 3 was in charge of
Conductor Callen, with Engineer
Monks at the throttle. Conductor G.
l.. Miller was on the extra freight and
Engineer Frey was driving the engine.
The second section of No. 3 came
along shortly after the wreck, but was
stopped, and assisted in clearing up the
wreck, it's engine pulling the available
cars of both trains to Wray.
The wrecker and crew were sent up
from McCook and in a few hours the
road was opened for traffic.
1t was at first feared that Engineer
Frey of the extra was under the wreck
age, but it subsequently became known
that he had jumped and temporarily
left the scene of the wreck.
The results were fortunate for all per-
sons interested.
Engineer Frey left the scene of the
wreck at once and his whereabouts was
! unknown until Wednesday, when word
was received that he was at Goodland,
Kansas, unhurt and we'll. The respon-
sibility for the wreck is placed on En-
gineer Frey, who, it is claimed, did not
have time to make the run from Yuma
to Schramm.
