to have disturbed you this morning, but we delivered to your house by mistake a package containing some diamonds which were intended for Mrs Bondclipper We will send our young man in a few moments to get them, and deliver to Mrs Bondclip- per. We are very sorry to have dis turbed you"
 But" says Mrs. Millions, ''how shall know it is younr young man?'
 "Oh, well. he will present our card. That will be all right" says the re- assuring voice over the telephone.
 Mrs. Millions is utterly unsus- picious when a carriage drives up and a neatly dressed, businesslikc young man presents Goldsmith's card. He apologizes profusely for the CT TOT, receives the package of dia- monds and gives the receipt of Goldsmith & Company for them. This enterprising young man, with the assistance of a telephone and a hired carriage, gets S1OO,OO0 worth of jewelry, and gains several days time within which to disappear"
 So it is that crime keeps pace with science, whether it be in the field of high explosives, wireless tele- graphy, the telephone, or any of the other gerat inventions of modern times. This being the case one may wonder why the machinery for the detection and punishment of crime is continually becoming more and more efficient. Matching individual against individual, there are doubtless men of as great ability engaged in the com mission of crime as in it's detection. The great factor, however, in favor of those engaged in hunting down the criminal is the strength which comes through organization. So far as science goes, according to an ex- police chief, neither side has bene- fitted to any greater extent than the other. As a matter of fact in Eng land the telephone is little employed and old fashioned methods are still used in Scotland Yard. Yet England is as successful as this country in the detection and punishment of

Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the founda- tion of the disease, and giving the pa- tient strength by building up the con- stitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

SENATE ADJOURNS:
 NO BUSINESS
House Passes Resolution Providing for Four Ses- sion Days Per Week.

Hartford, June 1.-The State Senate was in session only about half an hour this morning but in that time Senator SearlS found an opportunity to severely criticise the House for the manner in which it was delaying leg islation, when he moved adjournment until Thursday of this week.
 Among the matters on the Senate calendar which received favorable ac- ton were the following: An act pro- hfbiting the shooting of wild fowl from power boats; resolution appropriat- ing and selling the s7.00O, 900 bond is- sue recently authorized.
 The House took some steps to ex- pedite its business when resolution was offered by MT. Dougal of Wash ington providing for four session days a. week and afternoon sessions was passesd, leaving out the Friday ses- sion and making the meeting time of the House on Wednesday and Thurs day at I0:30 A M.
 Y Speaker Banks announced the ap- pointment of MT. Fuller of Suffield and MT. Knight of Salisbury as the House members of the special connnis- sion to investigate the State Board of Education of which MT. SearlS is the Senate member. MT. Knight with drew, however, and the Speaker re- served the appointment of a substitute. Among a number of matters which were rejected on unfavorable reports of the committee on Agriculture was the bill which required all Connecticut tobacco to be labelled as such-

The rifles were used merely by being held crosswfse of the bodys held by both hands and as a safe aid in holding back the crowd. In no$ case were the muzzles pointed towards. the crowd Had I had the allowed outside the wall at the curve, but all [ could do was to urge the people to get back de- pending upon their good sense and many a man and woman, can be thankful that they took the advice and got off this danger spot.
 Tt is a task I would not rolun- tarily assume again but | am giad my company was on hand yesfer- day for had not the men worked as hard and faithfully as they did. during the races to warn people at this point no doubt many more would have been standing there and a greater number hurt
 Then again after the accident had there been nc organized guard the crowd certainly would have swept down and possibly trampled on the wounded and pandeTnon- fum would have reigned
 "As it was at no time either dur ing the races nor at the time of the accident did the company lose control of the situation and when all the wounded were on their way to the city the company was form ed in regulation order, without a. man missing and marched to the busses which were waiting to con vey them to the armory to turn out during the afternoon for the e.

Cruelty is alleged Jean Chalmers was a nurse in a training school in Stam- ford, in July 1907, when young Wood asked her to take a trip with him to the metropolis They took in one of the shows, and at a supper which fol- lowed, he proposed and was accepted. They kept their secret to themselves, Mrs. Wood going back to the training school. Wood frequently met his young wife by appointment. They often had words. and one night in Febru- ary 1908, they met by appointment. He called her a vile name, and she struck him. The husband retaliated by striking his wife three times. She denied that she had any other matri- monial prospects.
 Mary E. Haviland of this city has instituted divorce proceedings against her husband Earl Haviland, an em- ploye of the Grand Union Tea Co.,, re- siding on Seaview avenue, claiming that he has been and is habitually in temperate and that he has been intol- erably cruel since January 1899.

 The child was undoubtedly struck by the left mud guard when he was hurl- ed through the air. Fisher turned the car to the right as soon as he saw the boy butsnot in time to prevent hitting him. After hitting the boy Fisher was either so unnerved that he lost con- trol Of the car or he was running too graph pole about 28 feet from where the boy was struck.
 Both Hartwen and Fisher escaped without Q scratch and how they did it was miraculous when the car turned completely over and all four wheels were left in the air.
 When the Yale men arrived at Dr. Blackman's house Police Commissioner James J. Hurley placed them under arrest and took them to Stratford where they were turned over to Deputy Sheriff Charles E.. Stagg and arraigned before Grand Juror David l.. Rhoades.
 The grand juror held them at the Stratford town hall pending an in vestigation of the case in order to de- terInine the size of the bond he should fix in the case.
 Young Fisher, who is a young giant. said his mother would probably fur nish a bond for him. He told Far mer reporter that he did not want to discuss the accident through the press at this time. He thought 1t was best that he keep still. The reporter asked him what kind of a car 1t was and the reply was that the reporter could find out by looking at the car.S

CAPTAIN HAWES TELLS HOW CROWD WAS WARNED
 BACKFROM DEADLY CURVE

Lust previous to the accident the people were repeatedly warned to keep off from this particular spot and. also from several other equal 1y dangerous positions A woman and two small children were found here at about five minutes before the accident and told the woman that if those were my children nothing in the. world could induce me to let them stand there: This woman proved to be one of the sensible kind and moved up the hill to safe position which was pointed out to her and undoubted- 1y was a witness of what would have happened to- her children had she remained. ]
 "I had just left this in charge, of of Corporal Quaintance and pro- ceeded up the hill to inspect the guard at the finish when the crash came.
 Word was sent along the line Of sentries in both directions to assemble at the curve and within five minutes we had hollow square formed and successfully held the crowd back, maintaining clear space of Roadway of from 50 to 75 feet, thus giving the sur geOnS room to work and space for the automobiles which were press ed into service as ambulances.
 ''At no time were bayonets fixed to charge the crowd. The crowd, although enormous, was like every other American crowd in an emer- gency, willing to do the right thing when properly directed. No woman was struck over the head with a rifle as stated in morn ing paper as being an unconfrm- ed rumor.
