CONGRESS STREET
 MAY BE WlDENED
Council Gives Connecticut Company Per.
 mission to Withdrew its Petition.
KELLY CHAMPION DOG KILLER


 At the meeting of the Common Council, last night, Alderman C. B. Wilson introduced resolution calling for the widening of Congress street, on the north side of the street between Main street and Housatonic avenue. Immediately after the adoption of the report the street committee offered a resolution ordering g. hearing on the matter for November 1. The resolu- tion was adopted.
 David Gibson petitioned for the es- tabMshment of building lines in Hous- ton street. This street is one of the oldest in the city but has never been accepted as a public street. Whether the council can establish the lines without accepting the street is ques- tion that the city attorney will prob ably have to decide.
 Kelly for $273 was referred to the Ways and Means committed because the warden has exhausted his appro- priation of $9O0. Kelly has captured and destroyed 800 unlicensed dogs this year.
 The street committee gave the New Haven railroad leave-to withdraw it's petition to lay special work at Wa ter street and Fairfield avenue. 7 Lawrence T. Gallagher of Washing ton avenue and Mary Della of Har- ibor street were both denied petitions to build beyond the building line.
 The street committee reported favor ably upon the establishment of build ing lines in Sixth street from Strat- ford avenue to Deacon street.

PEOPLES CHURCH
 TO BE DEDICATED
New Structure for Combined Religious
 and Social Uses.

Though there is much to be done in the way of detail. the finishing touches are being applied to the Peoples Pres byterian Church, Laurel avenue, SO as to have it in readiness for the dedica- tion services. Sunday Unlike any other religious edifice in the city. tine church is built to combine both the religious and social side of church life The edifice is of the attractive Ran naisance style of architecture, without Steeple, but having within the lines of beauty so common in the older churches. The church proper is divid- ed into two large assembly rooms, one for religious services and the other the Sunday school room. The latter is, so arranged that it can be used for SOC al purposes. An innovation. and one that will appeal to many a housewife. is a pantry connected with the Sunday school room. Here everything in the way of kitchen utensils can be found. handy for social or supper.

WINTERS INVADERS
 SPY OUT THE LAND Heavens Lighted Win Signals of Thei
 CGming,

Winters invasion has apparently be- gun, for last evening the northern skies were swept by great polar searchlights that flashed and circled in oewildering geometrics figures and un- dulated and zig-1agged in mysterious symbols, telling of the invading fleets of frigid winds and icy storms that were slowly gathering themselves to-. gether for an annual attack, and spy ing out, as it were, the preparations of their southern enemies to resist their certain coming. But although the signs were full of gloomy portent and brought shivering anticipations to those who watched, they made sight of beauty that almost negatived their

From behind them the white radiance would rise and fall. now like a luminous noun tain peak, now in straight narrow beams that shot clear 70 the zenith. At times the whole northern sky was cut with almost mathema tical exactness by hundreds of these radiating bars of light Another phenomenon that would recur at frequent intervals, es- pecially when the brighter masses had lost for a moment their brilliancy,were Ii gntning flashes of wavering light that began close to the horizon and leaped, almost too quickly for the eye to fol- low, until they lost themselves high in the heavens.

TAKE OFF THE FAT
 WHERE TT SHOWS

Most women suffer much humilia- ton because of great quantities of fat, so located that, no matter how they dress, everybody sees that they are abnormal This is the day of the slender figure, and fat women are sim ply not tolerated either in business or social affairs. Women may not know it,but men when they see fat woman pass them on the street or in public places make all manner of syrnpa- thetic remarks about her. They do not mean to be unkind or to seem un- manly, but it is natural for a man to dislike fat on a woman. Where fat shows the most there is where it must be removed, and as quickly as possi- hle. This seasons dresses seem to be made for the fat woman's misery and the slender woman's delight. They expose all the charms of woman and her ugliness as well. Exercise and diet will not remove fat. This has been proved. The famous Marmo1a prescription which has met with such phenomenal success and has so many of our society women as it's sponsors, is now being sold in tablet form to meet the demand of the public for this style of treatment. These little tablets go into your system just like food. They stop the stomach and di- gestive apparatus from producing fat and reduce the fat upon the body at the rate of from 12 to IS ounces a day. They are harmless and can be carried in your purse and taken even after you have indulged in hearty meal away from home. They are sold at all drug stores at 75 cents case, or if you prefer you may write the Marmola Company, Dept. 879, Detroit, Mich.

WOMAN'S SKELETON
 OF MISSING NURSE
Thought to Have Been Vic tim of Man Now Held on Murder Charge.
Special from United Press)

l@DSCidi iloiil OItiIOQ I0SSJ
 Islip, L. T., Oct. 19.-The coroner to- day began an inquiry to establish the identity of the young woman whose skeleton, partly charred by fire, was found in the underbrush off the road between Brentwood and Islip late yes- terday The body had been there about a year. it is believed and al- though there is no way of determining exactly the cause of death Coroner Savage declared to-day he is satisfi ed that murder was committed
 In life the woman had been of slender build and the clothing found
 with the skeleton was of excellent
 quality and well made. An automobile veil found a few yards from the body
 bore the name Schwartz" as did a
 muffler which was found with it.
 Relatives of May Smith, a nurse in
 the Manhattan State Hospital which
 is near, here, who disappeared mys ter iously last spring. have been asked to inspect the clothing to determine if it stance in this connection is that the girl was supposed to have been the fiancea of Gustave Schwartz who is being he d in the local jail indicted for murder in the first degree in connection with the
 killing of Irving J. Nelson. the Demo- cratic leader who was shot in the back while returning from taking a Manha ttan hospital nurse to a dance. no special search was made for her as it was supposed that she had gone away to be married. Schwartz was asked by her friends where she had
 gone but insisted he did not know. A gold bracelet still c,ung to the wrist of the skeleton and a necklace with a heartshaped locket of gold. pearl studded. lay near it. The locket was open, the pictures having been re- moved. Near where the body was found the coroner picked up a bill of goods sold at delicatessen store in Krebel Rhenish Prussia. a folder of the North German Lloyd line. a pair of folding scissors and a bill of goods written in German. only one word be- ing legib1e because of it's age. that word being Ixoches.

Government Spy Was the
 Victim of Terrorists
Special from United Press.)

St Petersburg, Oct. 19.-The discov- cry today in his apartments of the de- capitated body of M. Feodoroff. a rich man of leisure, known to be high in the councils of the Terrorist party, re- veals the fact that Feodoroff was a government spy. The body was hor- ribly nutilated and the scalp had been torn from the several head. There is no doubt that he was the victim of Terrorist vengeance.
 Feodoroff, it developed today, a1- though well known to be prominent in Terrorist circles, was singularly free from the police surveillance and perse- cution which followed his revolution ary comrades. This aroused the sus- picion of the Terrorists and they dis covered Feodoroef was one of the gov- ernment spies among the Terrorists who had been denounced through the revolutionary writer Bouritzoff at the time of the Azef execution.
 The position of Feodoroff, Terrorist leader and government spy, parallels that of Azef, who is now a refugee both from the Terrorists and the gov ernment.

EFFIGIES STRUNG
 IN VILLAGE FEUD
Hose Turned on Star Boarder and Landlady WhO Caused Row in
 Southbury.
WHITE CAPS VS. KU KLUX KHAN

Waterbury. Oct. 19-AImost every body in the town of Southbury has taken up arms, fguratively speaking, either for or against Mrs. Charles HubbelPs boarder. He is William Lep- hard, and his effigy was strung up from a telegraph pole, with the warn ing that his body would be swinging there soon unless he took the quickest way to get out of town. That was Friday morning. The warning notice was signed "The White Caps''
 People who live out Quaker Farms way thought. yesterday morning. that the White Caps had stood by their word, for hanging from a telegraph pole in front of Hubbells place was what appeared to be the figure of a man. A closer view. however. showed that it was another effiigy. The Ku ,KluX Klan of Southbury had arisen to defend the boarder.
 The efffgy. according to the legend it bore, signed by. the Ku Klux Klan, was supposed to represent John King, Superintendent of the watch factory.
 "The White Caps will be fought to a finish by the Ku Klux Klan,'. the notice said.
 All the trouble. which. after taking in Hubbel, his wife, the boarder, King, and pretty nearly, everybody else in town. started in some gossip about Mrs. Hubbel1 and Lephard. They were seen together too much. people said, The other day they took a walk to- gether. and when they passed the volunteer fireman's house somebody turned the hose on them and wet them both to the skin. That spoiled their walk. but it didn't stop the gossip.
 It got so that Hubbell could not go out of his house without being urged to challenge Lephard to duel, or at least to turn him out of the house Finally Hubbel1 lost his job at the match factory. at which King is That made King so unpopular with the Ku Klux Klan men that they immediately began to get the effigy ready. He already had got into trouble with the Ku Klux Klan by refusing. in his capacity as town constable, to take steps, on the re- quest of Mrs. Hubbell and her boarder to arrest the men responsible for the episode of the fire hose. The Ku Klux Klan says it was the White Caps who gave Mrs Hubbell and Lephard a ducking.
 The adherents of the White Caps and the Ku Klux Klan are numerous enough to start good sized feud. and the few persons in the village who are not identified with one side or the other fear serious trouble unless the authorities take prompt action.
