FAIRFIELD AVE.
 HOME RANSACKED
 BY H0USEBREAKER
Residence of Fred w. Tracy Visited by Burglar, Who
 Makes Haul

Another of the series of burg1aries upon homes of well-to-do persons who have left them unguarded was per petrated last evening at the residence of Fred Tracy, 1105 Fairfield avenue, before o'clock while Mrs. Tracy's mother, Mrs. Fannie Barrows, was ab- sent MT. and Mrs Tracy are in BrattIeboro, and in their absence the latter's mother was in charge of the home. The loss, so far as can be ascertained is not great. But Mrs. Barrows' unfamiliarity with the con- tents of the house prevented a check ing up of property last night.
 Entrance was effected through a window at the side veranda which had been forced open. Included in the property that Mrs. Barrows was able to tell the police had been taken was a quantity of postage stamps, watch fob, fountain pen, Iver Johnson pis- toI, purse with s4.5O, two gold nugget stickpins, one flying fish stick pin, gun metal watch and two brooch pins.
 The police believe the work is that of the same men that entered the Stoddard home in Washington avenue, the Jennings home in Brooklawn place and the Wheeler home in Washington avenue, all within a few weeks.

MRS, MILLS SAYS SEPARATION TALK

"Everything is Lovely" Declares Wife of Prominent Fair
 field Resident

MT and Mrs. George A.. Mills of Fairfield were greatly surprised on re- turning this week from their wedding trip in Europe to learn that g. rumor had spread that they had separated permanently. In Fairfield, where MT. Mills family is one of the most prom rency, it's source being unknown, but Mrs. Mills attributes it to the tongues of busybodies.'' The following is from the New York newspaper:
 New York Oct. 21.-''Separation Di- vorce? I cannot understand all this foolish talk. Why, we have only been married: you might say,' declared Mrs. riage to the wealthy retired million aire on July last was Miss Maude Armitage, when seen at her home No. 1O9 East F'ifty-ffth street
 How such foolish talk originated I do not know. My husband and I have not quarreled. We have had no diff culties.''
 She explained that her husbands ab- sence was due to his love for his mother, who is past ninety years and very. feeble. Her husband, she said visits his mother frequently at the Mills estate, at Fairfield Conn.,
 When my husband returned from Europe the other day on the Adriatic, met him with my auto and we had a pleasant time. Everything is love ly just now, and hope the tongues of some people, who always make it a business, it appears to pry into other persons affairs, will keep stilI''
 MT. Mills is we'll known in society here and also in club circles, being a member of the Calumet and other prominent clubs.

FALSE ALARM CALLS FIRE
 APPARATUS TO BURRITT
 LUMBER YARD AT g AIM.
Sender of Call Remains Unde- tected - Glasses Out From,
 Auxiliary Alarm Boxes

A false alarm of fire was sounded this morning shortly after g o'clock from box 422, the private box of the A. w. Burritt Lumber Go. The fire department responded but found no work to do. The officers of the lumber company on hearing the alarm sour ried about the yard and plant. to locate the fire, believing that some of the eIn- ployes had sounded the alarm from one of the many auxiliary boxes.
 No could be found who knew anything about the fire. Chief Moon ey found several of the boxes with the glass fronts out. It would have been easy for a mischievous urchin or em- ploye to have pulled the little ring suspended from the box and get away unseen. The management took steps at once this morning to have glass fronts placed in the boxes.

JEFF AUTOS TO
FISHING WATERS
Champion Cuts Out Gym Work to
Whip Mountain Stream
for Wary Trout

BEN LOMOND. June 3.-After u
nine-mle morning run and half hour
turn with the pulley weights Jim JEFF
fries decided that was enough for one
day and spent this afternoon trout
fishing.
When Jeffries left in the morning for
spin to the fish hatchery in his new
machine, he intended to return to the
gym and do some light work with the
apparatus as well as spar with Choyn-
ski and Armstrong, but at the hatchery
the call of the trout asserted itself so
strongly that he borrowed rod and
reel and started upstream, sending his
family back to comp.
Jim Corbett spent nearly the entire
day in the gym, working for his spar
ring match with Jeffries. This set
to is scheduled for next Tuesday. Cor
bett intended to box with JEFF Mon
day, but Jeff has another engagement
for that day. He will motor to Mon
terey and indulge in deep sea fishing.
Il do not think" said Corbett to-
day, that Jeffries ever was more rug
ged or stronger than he is now, nor do
L think his wind has ever been better.
If anything, he is more powerful now
than when l boxed him several years
ago. 1 have been quoted as saying he
was faster now than ever, but l did not
say that. He is about as fast as any
one could expect. He still has four
weeks of training and the sort of work
he will do from now on Will be to make
him fast"
Jeffries was in high spirits all day,
due largely to the fact that he read
Governor Gillett's denial of the story
sent out from Chicago by a news
agency yesterday to the effect that the
fight was a "frame-up" and that it was
fixed for Jeff to win
