FALSE ALARM SENDS POLICE
 TO MILFORD IN MURDER SEARCH
Hunt for Hacketts Slayer Reentlessy Pressed-Women and Men May Be Arrested As Accessories After the Fact Officer vireli Said to Believe that Three Helped Marcone Escape.

Much new information was gotten this morning by the detectives, re- garding the escaped murderer of John Hackett. who was stabbed Tuesday evening by Antonio Marcone of G1 Steuben street and died at o'clock yesterday The information was re- ceived from MT. and Mrs. John Bonaz- zi. the boarding master and mistress of Marcone. and from a man who was in the house. These were closely questioned at headQuarters. The po- lice are certain that they will get Marcone before long. A false alarm sent the patrol loaded with policemen over to Milford early this morning A report had been received from Milford that a strange Italian was seen over there. The investigation was fruitless. The statement of State Policeman Frank Virelli, in which he is report ed to have said that Marcone escaped evening. while the police and detec- tfves were in the same house, has aroused indignation at police head qarters. The three persons already mentioned are those who. according to vireilrs statement. knew that Marcone was escaping. denied it most emphati- cally and Mrs. Bonazzi. who was all legged to have given Marcone So. ms to keep denied it. She says that Mar cone owed her a months board Off, ficer virelli was finally located and an annointment was made with him for o'clock at the jail. He will there be brought face to face with the wit nesses. If he can prove his assertion the woman and perhaps the men VIII be arrested and charged with aiding and abetting a. criminal. If the story fails the police will feel that their acuteness in sensing the whereabouts of criminals will have been vindicated-

NopcSldl OnilSO FFeSS.1
 Washington, March 12.-It is expect ed that within a short time, the De- partment of Justice will abandon it's proceedings for the dissolution of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co.,, on the ground of insufh- ciency of evidence. A bill in equity court for the district of Massachu- setts, charging the New Haven road with combining and attempting to combine under one common control, the various railroad and electric rail way systems in New England, in viola tiOn of the Sherman act.''
 The inquiry conducted by the De- partment of Justice, preliminary to the filing of the papers created consterna- ton in New England railroad and railway circles. Presentations are known to have been made to Attorney General Bonaparte and to President Roosevelt to move cautiously because of the injury that might be done. This same view was taken by eminent au- thorities, even after the beginning of the proceedings and men who were in close codnsel of the administration on drowned upon the action.
 Wade Ellis, assistant to the new at torney general, Is informing himself of the facts with view>of taking the matter, up with his chief. He has consulted with John, A. KratZ, special assistant attorney, who has had charge of the suit and who was private sec retary to former Attorney General Moody, now on the Supreme bench.
