GIRL SHIELDS NAME OF RECREANT LOVE
 ACROSS THE SEAS
Unusual Condition Puzzles Officials of Charities De- partment.

Jealously shielding the name of her false lover, Mary Todzar, a comedy girl of 22 refused to disclose any of the circumstances leading to her flight from her home in Russian Poland to this country when subjected to an ex- animation at the Bridgeport hospital today. Within a few days she expects to become a mother. She reached this country on Oct. 15 and succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the immigra- ton authorities.
 Reaching this city a day or two lat CT she visited former friends in Po- land who lived at 122 Caroline street. They discovered her condition and had her removed to the hospital a few days ago.
 She has steadfast1y refused to di- vulge the name of her recreant Wooer. She will not deny that he persuaded her to come to America that he might be rid of her, nor will she deny that she voluntarily fled to escape her par ents. The girl, the Charities officials say, shows marked traces of refine ment.
 Steps for her deportation have been started but the case, unusual among those that come up for consideration between the Charities department and Immigration officials. has not been de- cided Superintendent Brennan is awaiting instructions from the state comptroller.

CLAWS MAKES
 FINE WITNESS
He and His Counsel Show A m azing Familiarity With All Points Bearing on Ballinger Charges.

Special from United Press) Washington, Jan. 27.-DeSpite the fact that today was an off day in the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation inves- tigators were far from idle and things sizZled in the capitol.
 The principal cause of the disturb ance was the report from the West that United States District Judge Cor
 nelius Hanford yesterday returned to the government title to 1024 acres of coal land in Washington claimed by the R. s. Wilson family.
 L. R. Glavis primary accuser of Bal finger on the stand in the inquiry yes terday, tried to show that Ballinger
 as attorney for the Wilson claimants had countenanced a fraudulent escrow l agreement for the combination of these claims before the claims had been proved. Glavis' adherents are today pointing to Judge Hanford's decision as corroborative of his testimony. Attorney Brandeis, Glavis' counsel, said today that the lands affected by
 Judge Hanford's decision were iden- tical with those referred to by Glavis | yesterday. "I regard it as a remark | able coincidence to say the 1east,' he remarked "that at the very time l Glavis was testifying here the court at Seattle was handing down this de- | cision.''
 Glavis is an interesting witness. He l1npTGSSSu Lu0 COIuIIIlII0S yCSICIOdy
 beth with his earnestness and his
 knowledge of the complex Alaskan ccal situation. He is only 26 years i of age, tall, agreeable looking, with l the air of a student. He talks in a firm but quiet voice, and has queer
 habit of twisting his 'rs' so that
 they sound like "w's.' He speaks
 deliberately and chooses his words
 with care.
 The surprise of the first days ses-
 sion, however, was the minute knowl-
 dge of the controversy, and particu-
 lflrly the Alaska coal situation, dis
 played by l.. D. Brandeis, Glavis'
 counsel, and who is also the legal
 representative of the weekly maga-
 zine that published the charges
 against Ba1linger. His familie rity
 with the intricacies of the situa ton
 was amazing at times and he talked
 convincingly, without indulging in personalities or vituperative condem- nation. Indeed, in response to a 1 question from a committee member l the lawyer refused to use the word
 ''corrupt' referring to Ballinger.

BURIAL OF
 MIR. SHELTON
Superior Courts Adjourn Session In Honor of His Memory.

The remains of David Eliot Shel- ton, known all over the city and Fair field County as Doe Shelton, na- turalization clerk at the County Court house, were laid at rest this afternoon in Mountain Grove ceme tery following the Episcopal burial services conducted by Rev.

TROLLEY WITH
 ROUND WHEELS
 RUNNING NOW
New Car Runs So Quietly Motorman Has to Ring Bell to Keep People Off the Track.

Another brand new trolley car was put in operation this afternoon by the Connecticut Go. The bright, clean and airy looking car created a sensation as it was operated on the Ash Creek and Seaview avenue line. Several peo- pie paid a nickel just to get ride in the new vehicle which has round wheels and runs without rattle. The motOrman who operated it said, "The worst thing about these cars is they don't make no noise and you have to keep ringing the bell to keep people off the tracks"
 The new joy wagon is known as '133" and she is a, sister ship to '135' that has been sailing for several days on the East Main street line. There was no bottle of wine broken at the launching and she was slid onto the rails without any ceremony. The con- ductor said she was so good that he would recommend that she be called "Ciarice" if they had a habit of nam ing street trans. He said she looked like those railroad parlor coaches that have the names on the sides and the other cars classed with some of the cabooses seen on the tail end of the freight trains. No. "133' is the second of the fleet of 20 new ones that the company is going to spring on an un- sophisticated public

DOCTOR BUNNELL
 HELD BY COURT :
 BAIL IS $3,5OO
CONDITION OF COLORED GIRL IN
 CASE IS CRITICAL.

Dr. W. H. Bunnell, the well known East End practitioner arrested yes terday on warrant charging him with committing an illegal operation was held in the city court this morn ing until Monday, in bail of $3,500. This was $1 1000 more than the origi- nal bail fixed by Judge Foster of the city court on the doctors arrest yes- terday. Prosecuting Attorney Red- den asked for an increase of bail for whose recovery there is now very little hope. Edwin Luckett, colored, charged with the same offence, is held in bail of $2,500. He has no hope of obtaining bail. Manslaughter will be the charge in event of the girl $ death.
 Dr. Bunnell, released on bail fur rished by his mother, was in court bright and early this morning with his counsel, Attorney Henry E. Shan non. Attorney Albert J. Merritt ap peared in the interest of Luckett. Promptly on the reading of the charge by Clerk Gray, Attorney Shan ron asked that plea of not guilty be entered. Then Attorney Redden, representing the state, having prev iously agreed to a continuance, asked d the court to postpone the trial and to increase the bail, owing to the grave condition of the girl, Sunshine Evelyn Nichols, aged IF.
 There was little or no opposition, and the case was continued until Monday. Attorney Merritt was anx- ious that it should not be continued longer than Monday because he thought his client, young Luckett, should have 8 hearing as soon as possible.
 Yesterday afternoon Dr. Bunnell secured bail shortly after his arrival at police headquarters. He was not subjected to the discontinue of a cell, being permitted to await bail in comfortable seat in the office of Clerk Smith of the police depart ment. Here he fell asleep and this morning he all but fell asleep while waiting the calling of his case in the city court.
 Detective Cronan, who arrested the physician yesterday accompanied him from police headquarters when court adjourned, to allow him to ar range with his mother for the fur nishing of the increased bail. When Sc tisfactory arrangements had been made the doctor was given his lib- erty.

SOPHIA, I DIE
 AT YOUR HANDS"
Last Words of Murdered
 Man Acct. ..e Music Teach CT on Trial as His Slayer.

Waterbury, Jan. 27.-For the second time during her trial for the murder last September of her lover, Bronsilaw Kulvinskas, in lonely wood near Union City, Sophia Kritchman, the pretty IS year old music teacher, today broke down and wept.
 During the first two days of her trial, the young defendants attitude has been composed and she smiled fre- uuently at various aspects of her case. Today, however, when Anthony Kul- vinskas, brother of her murdered lov- CT and who is his living image, took the witness stand at the instigation of the state and repeated what he saw when he went to the woods near Un- ion City on the day of the murder, Sophia broke down and sobbed audi bly,.
 The most important witness of the day was Matthew Malinowsky an ex- pert in handwriting from Harrisburg, Pa. He translated the letter that was found with the dead mans body, and which the state claims he wrote after he had been seriously wounded, in Lithuanian. The expert translated the note as follows:

I Athletic team this year. and Mack | expects him to show a lot of improve ! ment over last season, when he did l really wonderful work for youngster. Addie Joss, the star pitcher of the Cleveland team, has received an offer to coach the Harvard University pitch CTS. Joss will accept the offer if the owners and management of the local club will consent. The selection of Joss follows the desire of the Harvard management to get "Christy'' Mathew son of the New York Nationals as coach. This effort proved unsuccessful l owing to the opposition of Manager McGraw, who wants "Matty' to go South with the team this spring.
 Little Joe Casey, who used to catch for Hartford, has decided to accept his big league chance without more ado and has sent in to Detroit his signed contract. Casey some time ago put up a vigorous kick against going to De- troit at the salary offered and claimed he could get more if allowed to go elsewhere. His objections were un- needed and it is presumed that he has come to the conclusion that it is up to him to deliver the goods before claiming the salary of man who has had a season in major league.
 
 it's place in Amherst's sports yester- day with the announcement of Henry H. Hobbs, Yale's famous tackle, as coach for next season. Hobbs will have complete charge over the teams development and Manager McCague stated that whether the graduate coach system would be in vogue or not would depend on the new coach Hobbs made his initial reputation as a football player at Dartmouth, after wards going to Yale, where for two seasons he has been one of the teams mainStays.
 The promoters of Mountain Ash, Wales, are showing some of the nerve of American promoters in the matter of purses. Their offer is $25,00 for Nelson and Walsh, S10,000 for McFar- land and Welsh and $5, 900 for Willie Lewis and Tom Thomas the middle weight champion of England.
 Chic Hartley, famous as a member of the Holyoke team several seasons ago, will go South with the Philadel- phia Nationals. Hartley will try for the outfeld, and the management be- lieves that he will make some of the timers hustle for a regular berth. Hartley was drafted from the Harris burg Tri-State League team by the Phillies.
 It would greatly please National League players if Honus Wagner of the Pirates would play first base. They figure they would then be able to hit one through the short field now and then.
