TRAVELLER MISSES JEWELS
THOUGHT $4O,OOO LOST
But Found That Baggage Bearer Had Made Mistake
 in Bearings.

George A. Jockum, commercial traveller for New York jewelry house spent a couple of anxious hours yes- terday afternoon while the detective de- partment was endeavoring to locate two dress suit cases containing jewelry samples valued at $4O,0oO. Jockum made his abode at the New Haven house and set out yesterday to visit the tre.de in this city. He contracted with one Joseph Foley to act as bearer of his i1npedimentia.
 Upon emerging from a call at the Sil- verthau store on Chapel street Jockum became separated from his baggage train and the $40,0O0 worth of jewels. He hastened to the detective bureau to To- cate his possessions. About o'clock it was learned that Foley had come to port at the New Haven house with no baggage missing. He explains his ab- sence by stating that he understood Iockum to appoint him to go to SS7 Orange street to wait for him. Foley said he waited until he got tired and then knowing that Jockum's stopping place was the New Haven house he went there to find him. Thus the threatened tragedy turned out com edy of errors.

CONLAN SUPERSEDED AS FENDER EXECUTOR
Judge Studley Removes Him for Not Qualifying and Ap-
 points Deceased's Son.

The question as to whether the pro- bate courts in the state of Connecticut can refuse execution of a will presen- ted for probate because the executor named has been convicted of crime is involved in the decision made en the probate court yesterday afternoon by Judge Studley in the will of Patrick Fender. The first executor named in the will is Attorney Martin Conlan, formerly of this city, who has been convicted in New York state of wrong doing. Yesterday Judge Studley re- moved Conlan as executor and named Charles F. Fender son of the de- ceased in his place on the ground that Conlan had failed to put in an appear ance and qualify. The question of his eligibility on account of his conviction lies back of the legal reasons assigned.
 This is the first time 1t is stated, this point has been brought up in probate court in this state, when an executor has failed to qualify without resigning and has been removed by the judge. It is considered probable that the case will be appealed and in that case it will be taken to the supreme court as test case
 This will make very important case if such action is taken as the law on this subject while clear in Massachu- setts and New York appears uncertain in this case and decision on the mat ter by the supreme court would clean up the doubt.

FIRE IN ALLINCT0WN ALL WEST HAVEN UP
Cooperage Department of New Haven Fat Render
 ing Go. Gutted.

All West Haven was aroused last evening by a sudden brightening up of the sky in the direction of the New Haven Fat Rendering company in the rear Of Washington avenue. near the old Derby road. The cause of this un- usual appearance was fire in that building, which lasted for over three hours and caused damage to the extent of about $1.500.
 About o'clock while William Brandt and Frank Ball were returning from work they perceived a small light in one of the south windows of the third story of that part of the building known as the bone shop and cooperage shop. The light seemed to grow brighter, and the young men on closer inspection saw that it was fire. They went and in- formed the night watchman, MT. Palm CT, and together they attempted to make the pump work. JAS usual, in case of emergencies, the pump failed to re- spond to their repeated efforts. Not the least discouraged they hastened to the fire alarm and sent in a call. Two companies responded, but on their ar rival the blaze had already began it's work of destruction. Starting in the bone department of the wooden build ing, which is attached to the rendering building the flames had begun to eat their way down into the cooperage de- partment,, where they costly barrel slaves were kept. The firemen, al though arriving half hour after the fire had started and delayed by the refusal of the pump to work, accom- plished surprising amount of work and had the fire. under control about 1O:S0 o'clock
 No. Is engine and hose company re. sponded to call from the officials of West Haven and to them much credit is due.
 The third floor and the second floor of this drying department was gutted Ii the flames had not been checked in their rapid course downward the entire building, including the rendering de. partment, would have been gutted, fol in the cellar of the destroyed building l gasoline and turnentine were kept I the flames had reached the renderina l-department the fat and grease would have So aided the fire and hindered tht work of the firemen that getting con, trol of the fire would have been an i'm possibility.
 The New Haven fat rendering build ing is over twenty years old It wal at first owned and used by Merwin al slaughter house, afterwards bough by Swift & Co.,, and is now owned by corporation composed of Merwin, Swif and many other men throughout Con necticut.

SPECIAL FLAG DAY.
Mayor Wants Citizens to Honor D. A. R.
 To-day.


 To-day.
 Mayor Studley has made the request that the citizens of New Haven make to-day a special flag day whereby to honor the city's guests, the members of the Grand Army of the Republic gathered here for their state encamp- ment. The big official banner of the city will be flung to the breezes from in front of city hall. and the mayor urges the citizens to join in by float ing their flags both from home and place of business. It is hoped that the center of the city, at least. may be made quite festive with the national colors. The mayor points out that the Grand Army encampment may never be held here again, and this seems a fitting tribute to pay its members now in this city.
