NEW LONDON COURT HOUSE
TO BE REPAIRED.
No Building to Be Erected for Joint Use
of City and county-New London
County Meeting.
(snecial to The Bnlletin.l !

Hartford, Feb. 23-The long contin-
ued matter of improvements to the
New London court house or q new
building for the county and the city of
New London came up at the New Lon
don county meeting for some sort of
settlement this afternoon. Representa-
tive Whlton of New London submitted
a resolution which gave the county
commissioners the right to go ahead
with repairs to the present court house,
after declaring that there should be
built no joint building for the use or
county and city.
The repairs are to cost not more than
$4,000, the sum originally provided
for by the legislature Of 1905 and which
1t was expected to spend when this
matter was up during the session of
1907. The county commissioners are to
go forward with the work at once, and
have the right to appoint two other
gentlemen as a committee to assist
them in the work. This gives the citi-
zens Of New London some sort of voice
in the matter.
Senator Latimer Of Groton opposed
this feature of resolution on the ground
that the responsibility for the expendi-
ture of the money rested finally in the
county commissioners, and he thought
1t unWise to even seem to hamper
them in the matter, but the county
meeting took the view that Mr. Whi-
toms resolution was in the proper form
and passed it. No other business was
done.

DOUBLE HAN GING
AT WETHERSHELD
Two Murderers Executed Just After
Midnight This Morning.

Wethersfeld, Conn.,, Feb. 24.-Pay-
ing the penalty of their crime Guiseppi
Campagnolo and Rafael Carfaro were
hanged at the state prison here to-
night for the murder of George D.
Sheehan of New Haven on the night
of August 15 last.
Campagnolo was led from his cell by
the guards shortly after midnight to
the execution room. where the moose
was adjusted at 1903, the trap was
sprung by Warden Garvin at 1904 and
the straps removed at 1917. The body
was taken down at 1926. The wonder
ful vitality Of the man was shown from
the fact that the heart beat for Ia
minutes after the trap was sprung.
The guards led Carfaro upon the
trap at 1880, at 1921 the moose was
put in place and twenty seconds later
the trap was sprung. The straps were
removed at 12.40, and at 12.46 the body
was taken down.
The bravado which had been shown
by Campagnolo during his trial and
since bis stay in prison was replaced
by nervousness and signs of fear when
he was led from his cell. Just before
the moose was adjusted he asked per
mission to speak to his spiritual ad-
wiser, Rev. J. ]. Mclaughlin of st. An
thongs italian church in Hartford
asking him to attend to certain letters
which he wished to have sent to Italy.
Carfaro, who it was expected would
break down. was master of himself and
bade each Of his guards good-bye with
a smiling face and a handshake. He
was accompanied to the scaffold bv
Father Oliver Magnell, the prison
chaplain.

vesugation Of the military affairs of
the state was necessary, he wanted
that there should be such investigation.
said Adjutant General Cole this after
noon. speaking before the legislative
committee on military affairs at the
capitol. General Cole appeared to IA
vor the bill providing for an increase
An the salaries Of the adjutant general
and his assistants. He said he would
rather have had someone else than he
eppear, as he was personally concern
sd in the matter. He did not believe
thst the salary paid was commensu-
rate with the work required. He was
asked whether the work had increased
since he took the Office, and he ex-
plained tfst It had practically doubled.
in this connection he referred to pub =
siShed statement which ne said tnti-
mated that an Investigation Of the mil
4tary affairs In the state would be
proper and said:
''qentlomen. If there is any thought
that an investigation is necessary, 1

Fort Monroe, Va, Feb. 23.-The bad
weather which greeted the batuesnlp
feet at the Virginia capes yesterday,
the worst the sixteen ships have ex-
perienced in any port visited on their
way around the world, continued today.
Storm signals were hoisted on the
beach and during the afternoon a stin
southeasuer set in, driving a stinging
rain before it. The ships safely at
anchor paid little heed to the blow, but
the. little white and gray steam
launches running between ship and
shore were buffeted by vino ana
waves.
Roadstsad choked With Fighting Craft
That part of the roadstead running
west from the Old Point pier Seemed
fairly che ked with fighting craft'today.
The two long lines Of the combined
squadrons Of Admirals Sperry and Ar
mold stretched away from the dock,
almost as FAR as the eye could reach,
the gray ships OF the stay-at- home
feet fading away in the rain and mist
which overspread the harbor. Inc
ships were made snug and tight for
the storm and only small American
ensign at the after flagstaff and the
commanding officers flags at the peaks
were to be seen today in place of the
rainbow streamers which yesterday
clothed the vessels Of the fleet in gala
attire.
Ships Begin coalins.
Nearly one-half Of the ships began
coaling today in spite Of the weather.
All Of the vessels came IN with bunkeTs
nearly cmI ty after the long and stormy
run from Gibraltar. II is hoped that
the last of the ships will have been
coaled by Saturday in order that the
men may parade ia Norfolk on that
day.
First Shore Leave Of the Men.
A committee from Norfolk visited
the flagship Connecticut today to eX-
tend an invitation to the men of the
feet to be tfe city's guests on Satur-
day. but Admiral Sperry, in company
with about fifty other officers, had
gone to richmond to attend a banquet
luncheon there and did not return until
late this afternoon. There is little
douot tnat the Norfolk invitation will
be accepted. however. and that several
thG usafid men viii be sent there. This
will be the first shore leave the men

Men Whose Terms Have Expired
Leave for Home.
One of the most interesting sights
today was the departure of a large
number Of enlisted men whose terms
Of service had expired. AS they left
the side Of the vessel on which they
had served, they were given lusty
cheers by the sailors. Still attired in
their sailor togs. the men reacheJ the the
government dock loaded down with all
manner of luggage. Many of them had
their belongings and souvenirs of the
long trip stawed away in canvas bags,
while others were equipped with natty
leather suit cases. The latter were in
variably plastered all over with labels
from foreign hotels and transportation
companies. The first class liberty men
of the fleet made many side excursions
from the various ports visited,and they
also were entertained at the best ho-
tells. Their uniforms were respected
by every nation. On these visits the
men accumulated many Of the travel
ing labels. Negro boys and porters
lettering about the dock reaped a har-
vest from the home going sailors, who.
disdaining to carry their own satchels
and bundles, handed them over to the
boys to be taken to the railroad sta
ton or trolley cars. The bluejackets
brought home all manner or souvenirs
from every country visited.
Have Saved Considerable Money.
A number of the sailors who left to-
day were long enlistn ent men, who
will come back into the
service before three months have
elapsed. They have saved considerable
money on the trip and are anxious to
go home and tell of their experiences.

JlLTED BY YOUNG WOMAN,
ARMY LIEUTENANT SUICIDES
Officer of Eighth U. S. Infantry
Shoots Himself at Governors Island.

New York, Feb. 2S.-Speculation
was rife in army circles today over
the motives which drove Lieut.. John
J. Moller of the Eighth infantry to
commit suicide by shooting last night.
A story was current that Moller had
been Tilted less than year ago by a
young woman with whom he had be
come acquainted while stationed at
Governors island and to whom he had
been attentive up to the time of his
departure for the Philippines.
While stationed in the islands Lieu
tenant Moller was courtmartialled on
charge of having condoned cruelties
on the part of Filipino chiefs, but the
verdict of the court exonerated him,
and when he returned from the far
east it was with the idea of renewing
his suit of the young woman.
Upon landing at San Francisco
however, he learned that the lady was
married. This preyed on his mind, his
friends declare.
The name Of the young woman is
not given, but she is said to have
married some months ago a noted ath
lete of an eastern university, who. in
his college days, was one of the heroes
OF the football field.

GLOBE E-ENcIRcLING TOUR
WAS NO JUNkET.
Speech by Admiral Sperry at Luncheon
in Richmond Hotel.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 23.-Graceful
homage was paid by the southland to-
day to the globe girdling American
battleship fleet in this old capital of
the Confederacy.
I'VE welcome you to the hearts of a
people who yield to no one in devo-
ton to the American navy or in loyal
ty to our flag"
This sentiment, freely expressed at q
luncheon in the Jefferson hotel this
afternoon by Mayor Richardson, in
welcoming Rear Admiral Sperry, Rear
Admiral Wainwright and fifty-four of
the officers under the formers COM
mand to this city, found echo in words
of gallant Admiral Sperry when he
said:
ION the worlds cruise I have had
about me a splendid corps of officers.
In my personal staff of seven men, six
of them are commonly known in the
ships as 'arrant' rebels. Georgia, FLOR
ida, South Carolina, all are represented
among my personal aides, while my old
sour apple state Of Connecticut is left
out entirely. With these men at the
wheel, is 1t any wonder that we have
gotten here, and have gotten here on
time"
The luncheon, at which men of all
walks Of civil life, of all ages and of
unyielding loyalty to the cause of Lee
and Jefferson fraternize6 in staunch
fellowship with the fighting men of the
navy, was given by the Richmond
chamber Of commerce. Admiral Sperry
received an ovation. He referred to
this first separate welcome since we
have returned to our shores" and said
hC has nDs cad his 4J4fscia mail since
arriving on the American side, and
smilingly added:
II don't know where the secretary OF
the navy is. and what is more, don't
care"
The admiral pointed out that the
voyage around the world was no junk
ct. while we have been encircling
the globe" he said, I'VE have doubled
the score of last years target practice.
The fleets efficiency has increased 26
per cent. by economy of coal consump-
tion due to hard and faithful men be-
low decks. When a contest comes a
navy must know how to get there and
how to stay there when it gets there.
Now that the world rs governed by the
people and for the people, it is not suf-
ficient that a solitary arbitrary ruler
should know on paper the possibilities
of a contest and the questions at issue.
Under the constitutional forms which
rule the world today, even in Russia.
public sentiment may force a ruler into
a war or keep him out of it. And since
the people generally are only Impress
ed by what they see, it is necessary, if
you desire the peace Of the world, that
you show your fleet"

INTERESTING HEARING
On Closing of Fishing in Williams
Pond, Lebanon, December to April.
Especial to The Bulletin. J


Hartford, Feb. 23.-An interesting
hearing in regard to the closing of
williams pond in the town of Leba-
non from all fishing from the first of
December to the first of April each
year was held by the committee on
fisheries and game today. Represent
ative Larkin introduced the bill in
question and spoke in favor Of it, hav-
ing the support of Messrs. Cheney, Al
len, HAGEN and F. ]. Brown of Lebanon
and j. P. Porter of Manchester, who
owns one of the islands in the pond
and has a summer home there.
It seems that fishing through the
ice is doing away with the numbers
OF pickerel and perch which formerly
inhabited the waters there and thus
killing the warm weather fishing. Mr..
Field Of Bozrah opposed the bill. first
because he thought there was includ-
ed In it some prohibition against the
inhabitants Of his town and later on
general principles
