Bridgeport joined with the entire state to-day in mourning the death of Governor George L.. Lilley. So general was the feeling of sorrow that in some streets g. flag at half mast was flying from nearly every residence. Flags were also displayed at half mast at the State Armory, and from the staffs of all public, and many private build fngs. Governor Lilley was a member of the Elks, Bridgeport Lodge imme- diately took steps to join with other lodges of the state in appropriate trib- 1utes of respect to his memory and the flag was displayed at half mast from the Elks' Home on State street.
 There was perhaps no city in the state, not even his home city of Water bury, or Hartford, where his death took place and his official residence was, whose citizens had a more hearty interest in Governor Ldlley, mingled with respect and affection, than those of this city.
 Here Governor LilIey made his last public address, which will be found re- produced upon another page. The oc- caSion will be long remembered by those whose good fortune it was to be present. It was on March IT when the Bridgeport organization, Knights of St. Patrick, gave their annual banquet, and the Governor was the guest of honor. It was then remarked that he did not seem in the best of health and that his countenance showed traces of the enormous strain to which he had been subjected. His speech was brief, .but 1t was eloquently delivered and had been carefully prepared It was, as befftted the occasion, a. consideration of the contributions of the Irish race to American government, and to Ameri- can life in all it's varied phases.
 Moreover, 1t was a Bridgeport mat ter that precipitated Governor Lilley, when he was congressman-at-larg into the submarine investigation, an .AIfair which assumed national propor- ttions before it was concluded. The claim was made that the Lake Subma- rine Boat Company, whose home, and the home of it's founder is in this city, was being unfairly treated at Wash ington.
 It was said that graft was behind the failure of this company to obtain for its vessels any support from the Unit ed States government.
 Lilley was member of the commit tee on Naval affairs. He had no spe- cial interests in the Lake company, but it was one of the interests in his dis trict and he set out to get fair play for it.
 This led him to inquire into some of the remote relations between congress- men and certain interests, and thence came his conviction that something needed to be done.
 The effort to do that something sub jected him to such vituperation as few men have sustained before on Connec-

WOman'S Auxiliary Social.

Nearly 100 guests gathered in the as
ISOLATION parlors Friday evening to en-
Joy the social arranged by the Woman's
Auxiliary of the I. NJ. c. A. Every num-
Der on the program was favorably re-
ceived. The selection by the Donna Or
chestra, the vocal solos by Eldridge
French and w. B. Atwood and the read
ings by Helen Peterson and Miss
Dorothy Mills were heartily encored.
Miss Mills selection representing Ha-
CARS Farewell to Abraham was most
touching and quite unusual in character.

ceived with enthusiastic applause. Not
until Mrs. Miltimore appeared for the

which the auxiliary stands. After the
program refreshments were served and a
social hour enjoyed.

Arrested in Boston.

Mrs. Hattie S. Roy was arrested in
Boston, last Tuesday night and held by
the police of that city pending the arrival
of Deputy Sheriff Hartman Wednesday
morning. Mrs. Roy left here on the air
line Tuesday afternoon, and a little
later Jared l.. Peck entered a complaint
against her alleging the THEFT of $500
which was later changed to $4,000. Mr.
Hartman at once telephoned police
headquarters in Boston with the above
result.
She was brought here, arriving
Wednesday afternoon, and the next day
waived hearing before Judge Worcester
and was bound over to the une term Of
County court. Bail was fixed at $1,000
which was furnished.
When searched in Boston, Mrs. Roy
had $1242.87 on her person, $1,000 o
which she claimed was present from
! Mr.. Peck, and the remainder the result
! of several months savings. MIR. Peel
has for a number of years boarded will
MIR. and Mrs. Roy, and according tt
Mrs. Roy's story, he had promised her ;
present of $1,000 as an appreciation o
| the kindnesseS extended him while ii
their house. On January %, he drew
$4,000 out of the bank, and two parcel
of $1,000 each were placed in an envelop
and locked in a trunk. 1t is claimed tina
when the money was brought into tn
house he had acquainted Mrs. Roy o
the fact and had been heard to say tina
now he would be able to give Haiti
that thousand dollars. Mr.. Peck denie
those claims and sticks to his origina
charge that the money was stolen.
At present the outcome of the cas-
seems to hinge on the whereabouts of tn
other parcel of money, both parties dis
claiming any knowledge oft.
There are rumors of counter charge
being brought by the accused but it /
the belief of those who have the case il
hand that it will be settled and dis
missed before coming to court.

"The Wolf"

For strong drama adequately pre-
scented "The Wolf" at the Auditorium
Monday evening eclipsed anything seen
here this season and came near supplant.
ing former attractions of a similar
nature in the favor of Brattleboro audi
ences says the Retormer. Of the same
general type as THE Great Divide, u
THE Wolf is stronger and more sug-
gestive of the elemental life of the great
Northwest. 1t could very easily be
spoiled by weak or overdrawn presenta'
ton but the cast left little to be desired
in this respect and with the assistance o.
unusually good stage setting carried the
audience along through increasingly
tense scenes to the weird climax of a
fight to death in total darkness wher
the only knowledge of the combat which
came to the audience was the labored
breathing of the combatants and an
occasional smothered exclamation.
