In a low voice. but steadily. Alice
began her story. She spoke briefly oil
her humble life with the Bonnetons
of her work at Notre Dame. of the oc
casional visits Of her supposed cousin
the woodcarver, and finally described
the moment when she was thrust into
that cruel chamber and left there with
NJ. Coquenil-to perish.

broke down and wept, even the judges
wiped pitying eyes, as Alice told how
Paul COquenil built the last barricade

then how he dashed among leaping

cleared a way to safety.
Through the tense silence that fol-
lowed her recital came the judges

The audience literally held its breath

The commissary appeared forthwith
and with all the authority of his Of

story. There was no possible doubt
that the girl would have perished in
the flames but for the heroism of Paul
Coquenil.

AUTOMOBILES MUST DISPLAY
 TWO NUMBERS

The several authorities of this city have received copies of the opinion of Attorney General M. H. HoIcomb, in which he declares that automo- piles from New York, New Jersey, or other states where but one sign is required, must nevertheless display two signs in this state.
 This does not mean that foreign machines will be obliged to conform to Connecticut automobile law in re- spect of registry of vehicles, in any other respect than that the machine must display the number granted by it's own state at both front and rear, although the law of that state de- clares one number sufficient.
 It is likely that New Jersey auto ists will be treated with scant con sideration in Connecticut, hereafter, when they are found breaking the law, for the reason that New Jersey is enforcing the law of that state harsh1y against Connecticut drivers.
 A Connecticut machine no sooner crosses into New Jersey than the driver will be arrested, although the machine displays numbers strictly in accordance with Connecticut law. New Jersey demands conformity with New Jersey automobile law, and the New Jersey numbers must be shown.

PROSECUTOR FINDS IN BURGLAR CHUM OF HIS
 BOYHOOD DAYS IN PUTNAM
Frank Whitney Caught With of Kinsella Fairfield Drug Store, Remembers Clitus H. King as Shorty" Despite Tender Memories of Old Days, King
 Will Do His Duty

The unpleasant duty devolved this
 afternoon upon Attorney CIitus H.
 King, prosecutor of the Fairfield
 Town court, of proceeding against 9
 boyhood chum the charge of
 burglary. Just before court was call
 ed, the two had recognized one an-
 other as childhood pIaymates, born and reared in Putnam, Windhan1
 County, this state. The burglar had
 confessed his guilt, being caught with the goods, but protested it was his first offence and in an effort to delve into his previous record, the prose- cuIOf by questioning him had unVeiI- ed his identity. The break was made at the former site of the Fairfield post. post office, famous the country over !ngs and fusil1ades connected with it's history.
 kinseIla's confectionery and cigar store in the old Post Office block, Fairfield, has been four times burg lar1zed during the last year and a half. The third break was only a week ago, when burglars hurled a paving stone through the plate glass window in the front of the store and scurrying through the store quickly While the neighborhood was wrapped in slumber and shrouded in darkness, they made off with about $50 worth of tobacco supplies.
 Early this morning tPatroImen 4AyIlCh GdIO bdB4ey OO1nS Quty the West End, ran across a middle aged dressed man who carried a burlap sack over his left shoulder and a black grip in his right hand. There have been number of petty thiev- cries about the city of late. The po- lice became suspicious of the bundles the man carried, and apprehended him. A hurried investigation of the contents of the burlap sack convinced them they had made no mistake, and they took their man to the Third Precinct station. In the sack were 200 packages of cigarettes, g. Quan- t1ty of cigars and tobacco and snnok- srs' supplies. The bag contained a like collection of loot.
 The prisoner gave the name of Frank Whitney, but refused at first to tell anything about himself. Early this morning he was brought to po- ice headquarters and turned over to Captain Arnold, who. by the exercise of judicious questioning, made Whit ] 1ey tell about his midnight prowIings.

Especial to the Farmer.

Saybrook Junction, Conn, April '. Eleven persons were injured this morning, two proba fatally, when the roof of the big new car barns of the Shore Line Trolley Company here collapsed and fell to the ground, burying the men under the debris.
 Jerry Koehane of Springfield, Mass, who was experimenting the work of constructing the barn, and an Italian, were rushed to New Haven on the Saybrook local express. Koehane died later at the hospital.
 All of the injured were standing and received the full force of the roof on their heads. The roof caved in without nome entS warning, giV- ing the men! absolutely no chance for escape.
 The barn is one of the finest along the Connecticut shore. It had been in course of construction for several months, and was just being com pleted. Yesterday the final touches were put on the roof and the barn was expected to be ready for occu- pancy within a few days. The en- tire building, including the roof, was made of cement.
 The injured men had been at work in the roof began to creak and then without any further warning the en- tire roof, with it's tremendous weight of cement, tumb1ed down.. Scarcely a girder is left standing and the walls of the building are now crumbl1ng.
 A hurry call was sent in for all the available physicians and soon the work of digging out the buried men was in progress. Koehane was one of the first men to be found. Upon fully 500 pounds. When seven men finally lifted off the load,

 The dwelling occupies a, commanding g site. The barns and other outbuild- ings are some distance from the man sion The estate is one of the show places of New England, and it is said that Jennings has invested more than $1,000,000 in the property.
 At 2:40 o'clock the wind carrying big sparks before it in a southeasterly direction conveyed the fire to seven dwelling houses occupied by the farm CTS employed on the estate. The fire took the occupants by surprise. As far as possible personal effects were saved. The fire spread from kthe houses and swept through the nea- dows, consuming stacks of corn stalks and a number of hay stacks.
 Directly in the way of the fire at o'clock was the ice house owned by Jennings, which is filled with ice for the coming hot weather. Beyond the ice house and in the course of the fire are a number of houses belonging to small farmers and the only thing which can save them is a change in the wind. {
 The fire is the biggest thing of it's kind Fairfield has ever had and the damage first estimated at $10o,00O had reached S15O 900 at 3 o'clock.

Spezia, Italy. April 7.-Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt began their 'ssecond Honeymoon" here today. They ar rived from Rome this morning and after a brief rest they started to drive by easy stages to Genoa. In the Spring of 1887, shortly after their marriage in London, they made the same trip by carriage and will re- trace the route of nearly a, quarter of a century ago as closely as possi- bIe.

 After the stay at Porto Maurizfo the Roosevelts will return to Genoa for a brief stay before proceeding to Vienna.
 The trip from Rome was made in a special car. A group of newspaper correspondents game this far with the Colonel but they parted from him here in response to his desire for a few days privacy. As the special car was switched to a side track Roose- welt waved a farewell to the cores pondents.
 Roosevelt agreed with the corres- pondeHts that he would telegraph them each day a brief account of. the movements of himself and wife dur ing the time that he is separated be until April 13.

PROMPT DOINGS
 FOR MAIN STREET
Director Kenny Will Finish Large Section of Pavement
 Soon.
PLAN FOR SECOND SECTION
A Little Headwork, and Cooper. ation With Trolley Co. Does
 the Job.

A little head work, gentlemen, and there you are. Within two weeks the department of public works will com ,plete the job of paving Main street between Golden Hill street and Fair field avenue. Within two days the first boat load of wood block will ar rive. The Connecticut Company is doing it's part of the work with des- patch. The work is expedited because the cars are all sent around the Golden Hill loop.
 When this section of street is open ed, the section between Fairfield ave- nue and Gilbert street will be taken up. It will be completed with equal despatch, unless circumstances unfore- seen loom into view. / Again the cars will be moved by an- other route, that is, through Broad the Golden Hill loop.
 Thus only the South and North Main street line will be moving while this construction is in progress.
 Director M. A. Kenny is positive that Main street will not be cIuttered up month after month as it was a year ago.
 How can he be certain of a result so gratifying? Just a little head work, that's all. But of course all this pronptness will make a. lively differ ence with merchants who are strug- gling to keep the landlord going.

 President Shears issued the follow ing statement:
 The effect of the closing of the Union Bank has been severely felt few days It has shown itself in a qudet but constant withdrawal of de- Pos1Is at both the main office and branch and resulted in exhausting the banks reserve cash.
 At meeting of the board of di- rectors of the bank last night the was decided best not to open the bank this morning, April T.
 :. ''The banks assets, which it is be- lieved are more than adequate to pay all depositors, and the Stockholders in full were to great extentin herit- ed from the former management of the bank.
 'aThe closing at this time is very unfortunate as every indication point ed to rapid and healthy growth
 The bank has paid up capital of $200,000 and its deposits are esti- mated over s1,50O,000. State super intendent of Banks Cheney said that the first suspension of the Borough Bank during the panic of 1907 had left the institution too weak to stand 8 run The present management he said, which was reorganized in the same way, caused a run on the Bank which it was deemed to attempt to stem
