Echoes of the, Big Fire-Endeavor Lawn SaIe-Chicken Raising Extra ordinary.


 The chief topic this week has been 1 the fire Sunday which destroyed the 1 fine residence and all the outbuildings | belonging to Mrs. J. P Abell. The or1- 1 gin of the fire remains mystery, but i it could not have occurred under more ! favorable conditions in several re- spects. Had the wind been blowing brSkly from either northerly or southerly direction. all the other dwell | ings and buildings in it's vicinity would probably have been destroyed. Occur ring as it did in the midst of the church services, all the men in attend ance, as well as all in the neighbor- hood, were quickly on hand to aid in restraining the flames and rescuing the household goods. Both men and wom- an worked heroically to clear the house and to save the Baptist church and other contiguous buildings.

The runnor that the Lswley shipyard at Boston is to be transferred to New London has been renewed the present week and now # ts semi officially stated that there is substantial basis for the rumor and that it has become a fact that this established industry is to locate fin New London, and in the Fort Neck section. The story goes that the Lawleys are 10 get control of the New London Iron works and in- crease that plant materially. Ne gotiations are said to be almost closed for the purchase of the adjoining water front property which extends 10 the government reservation of Fort Trum- bull. This property has been closely examined and competent judges de- clare thar if IS peculiarly adapted for q large shipbuilding plant as well as a basis for the storoge of yachts. con Venient to the repair yard, and where work could be done on yachts when out of commission and in winter quarters.
 The LawIey coinpany Is one of the oldest in the country engaged in the building and repairing of yachts, and other vessels, and lfas been lead ing industry in that line in Boston and one of the best known on the coast. Their buisness has grown to such pro- portions that the company must select a site uw1V from Boston as the land required is not available there. There fore tbr I.aNIeys nave for m long time been seeking q desirable site elsewhere and have decided upon New London, provided of course. the desired proper ty can be obtained at fair price, and so it is said. price on the property named is satisfactory to the prospective purchasers and that the transfer of the property will be effect ed in the near future and an inl- portant industry will come to New London.
 This csta abiished company in making the change from Boston 10 New Lon- don does so for it's own benefit and con venience and is competent 10 do its own business in that line Without the as sistance Of committee of the New London Board of Trade or the Busi- ness Mems association. although the good offices of both are at the coni- panSsa disposal at any time.

LITTLE LOIS N OLD
ADMITS PERJURY
Says She Lied on Stand at Trial Of
Her Father, Accused Of
Abusing Her.

That she had committed perjury In
the trial OF her father in the record,
ers court. recently, and that she hau
been coached TO do so by her rela'
tiyes, was the admission made by LOIS
Mold, the l2-year-old girl, now IN the
hands of the Juvenile court, and TOT
whose custody her relatives are put
ting up such strenuous night.
This admission was made TO Miss
Ada Freeman, the Juvenile court pro-
baton court officer, Thursday, when
Miss Freeman was escorting the girl
To Lansing, where the motion for
writ OF habeas corpus came up TOT
argument before the supreme court.
The girl was recently witness III
the case OF her father, charged In the
recorders court with a revolving
crime against her. After her fathers
arrest she told the whole story TO the
police: duplicating her father. The
police made an EFFORT TO keep the girl
away from her relatives until after
her fathers trial. but they were unsuc-
cessful, and at the trial she took the
stand and testified that her father had
never harmed her, and that her story
10 the police was incorrect. As re-
suit, her father was convicted OF com
mon assault only and given 30 DAYS
In the House OF Correction.
The supreme court will hand down
a decision Saturday on the question oil
the juvenile courts right to the Gus
tody OF the girl at this time.
