 Sunday Clue After Clue Followed Without Result-Very
 Bold Robbery

No clue has been found up to today of the Speedwell touring car owned by F. A. Rantz which was stolen last Sunday morning from in front of MT. Rantz' boarding place in Butler ave- nue. The theft was a most daring one and committed in broad daylight. MT. Rantz left the car standing in front of the house at o'clock in the morning and at. o'clock when he went out for the machine it was miss ing. The thief had cranked the ma chine and drove off in the coolest man. ner possible. It is believed that the thief had designs on the car and had been waiting for MT. Rantz to leave it in the street.
 MT. Rantz is the president of the Rantz Motor Car Go. and the car is the same in which MT. Rantz made a perfect score in the 600 mile "All Con- necticut Reliability Run'' which was held last week.
 The police throughout all New Eng land have been notified of the theft and given a description of the car. The only way the car could be dis guised would be by changing the body and repainting the running gear.
 For sometime past automobile deal CTS have feared that the place of the old time gang of horse thieves were to be taken by automobile thieves who would have center for the dismaht- ling of cars and changing their ap- pearance.
 The stolen Speedwell car was 50 horsepower painted grey throughout and cost $2.500 without any accessor- ies.

TWO INTERESTING CASES IN COURT
 OF COMMON PLEAS

The last term of the Common Pleas Court, criminal side, before the Summer vacation, will come in next week. There are two cases before the court which will excite more than usual attention, that of Herbert B. Lanyon of Greenwich, charged with criminal libel, and Frank Glasner, of this city, charged with usury and ex- tortion. Lanyon, as editor of the Greenwich Investigator, was against everything in that town which was controlled by the political machine in power. He attacked one Norman B. Talcott, an associate editor, on an- other Greenwich paper, referring to him as the Oscar Wilde of the Green wich news gathering forces. Lanyon was arrested on the libel charge, his bonds being fixed at $1,000. Later this was reduced to $500 and he was released. His bondsman only recent ly gave him up, since which time he has been in the county jail.
 Glasners trial is also assured. It is on his appeal from three counts on each of which he was fined $50 and costs. One John Sirko of Fair field borrowed $20O. through Glas- ner's loan agency, mortgaging a piece of property in Fairfield. It has been figured that Glasner charged a rate of 65 per cent. per annum to Sirko.

Stratford Oyster Co.
 Sold to Sealshipt System
lContinued from Page One,

The Stratford Oyster Co. was or ganized about a quarter of a century ago by eight Stratford men who pool ed $1,0OO apiece. The result of their enterprise is a remarkable example of the fortunes that have been made in the oyster business.
 The stock of the oyster company has changed hands a number of times since the organization. One of the eight men to form the company was Henry J. Lewis, deceased, whose wid- ow is now largely interested in the H. J. Lewis Oyster O., whose docks at the foot of Pembroke street are but a stones throw west of those of the Stratford Oyster Co. Prominent among the present stock holders are F. s. Beardsley, Charles Stagg, Mrs. H. J. Lewis and George Cleveland.
 The Stratford Oyster Co.'s private grounds near the natural beds off Stratford point are marvel among oystermen The grounds are so ideally situated and of such faultless forma- ton, that all the owners are called upon to do is to harrow the preserves annually to harvest a rich crop. When all other grounds fail these of the Stratford Oyster Go. thrive. The luck of the company has become proverbial.
 Under the direction of Fred s. Reardsley the company has thrived to such an extent that it is said that fre- ouently the stock holders have re- ceiyed fabulous returns on their in yestments, in unusually successful years receiving as high as nearly 5O0 per cent on the original investment.
 The acquiring of the Stratford Oys- ter Co. by the Sealshipt Oyster System, Ic.. is said to be unusually significant in the oyster trade. for it means. the veteran oystermen of this section de- clare, that eventually all the local oys- ter interests will be absorbed by the immense New York combine.
 The independent oyster dealers nave been forced to pay a royalty or lS cents a. gallon for the use of the pack ing devices required by law, which are covered by patents held by the Sealshipt interests, and this levy has cut SO deeply into the revenues of Che independent dealers that they are said to have come to the conclusion that 1t is better to accept a reasonable Offer from the Sealshipt interest than to wage war that must needs prove disastrous to the independents in view of the exclusive rights to the shipping devices held by the Sealshipt sys- tenn.
 It was reported this afternoon that Frederick S. Beardsley had received tempting offer to take charge of the entire oyster enterprises of the Seal shipt system. but MT Beardsley this morning in discussing conditions. said he believed the affairs and manage ment of the Stratford Oyster Co. would run along just the same as at pres ent
