STOLEN MODELS ARE RETURNED Valuable Property of Noted English Dental Surgeon Taken from s'Strat-
 field" Hotel
Dentists Banquet Marred By Untoward Incident Parties to Theft Sent Back Property Today.

''Yes. the plaster models have been returned to me. I'm satisfied that they were not taken maliciously. but in spirit of jest. It was not one of our party that took the models It was discomforting for time but now everything has been cleared said Dr. A. c. Zones this morning when asked concerning the loss of two plaster mod els of artificial porcelain teeth owned by pr. J. Leon Williams of London, En-, who was guest at the banquet given Saturday evening by the Bridge port Dental Society at The Stratfield.
 Dr. Tones is the president of the To- cal society, and it was to him today that the models were returned. He at once forwarded them to New York, whither Dr. Williams left yesterday af- ternoon.
 The supposed theft of the models was the only hitch in the working out of the banquet. pr. Williams previous to the banquet had been sitting in the sun parlor of the hotel, exhibiting the models to a number of the local frater- nifty. On going into the banquet hall he left the models in the sun parlor, but on his return they were not to be found. With the disappearance of the models there came intense resentment among the dentists that they should be lost at such an affair, but that feel
 
 the missing models were sent to the home of Dr. Zones. It is not known who took the missing articles as there was no name accompanying the pack age, but it is believed that the perpe- tratOrS realizing the mess that they had made of what they termed joke, took this reans of relieving themselves of all suspician.
 Dr. Williams was one of the inter esting speakers at the banquet, re- marking on the progress dentistry had made in the Old World.
 Among the pleasant post prandial events was the presentation to Dr. c. W. Strang of a handsome gold watch, presented by his friends in the dental profession throughout the State. pr. A. c. Zones made the presentation. Other speakers were Attorney George E. Hill Drs. c. W. Strang and George L. Porter, Dr. M. l.. Rhein of New York. Dr. Frederick w. Brown of New Haven

evening over an encroachment on To- cal territory and that in the heat of an argument Messenger lost his head and chokets the life out of Filley.
 F'illey and Messenger have lived in Granby all their lives and were both highly resp ected, according to neigh bors. Messengers crime has shocked the community. Both men, accord ing to all appearances at least, had been friendly and at one time were looked upon as bosom pals" After giving himself up to the authorities Messenger sent to Hartford last evening for Attorney Benjamin Hold en, who will defend him.
 The prisoner stayed all night at the home of the town marshal. He per- siStently refused to discuss his deed
 The hearing took place promptly at noon and was private. Messenger was entirely recovered from the ef- fleets of the, liquor which he had been partially under the influence of last evening and seemed to be remorseful for his deed. After a brief consulta- tion between his counsel and Justice Edwards, the prisoner was bound over to the March- term of the su- perior court without bonds for trial for murder in the first degree.

Japan is Not Pleased
 With Knox's Proposal
Special from United Press.)

Tokio, Jan 1O.-Secretary Knox's proposal for the naturalization of the Manchurian Railways is generally viewed in Japan today as an attempt to deprive Japan of the fruits of her successful war with Russia, and as such, is being resented on every hand.
 Count Hayashi voiced the popular view when he declared that the Amer ican attitude is similar to that assum- ed by France, Germany and Russia following Japan's war with China in 1894 when the protest of these nations was responsible for Japan's evacua- tion of the Liao-Tung penisula and her agreement not to taken possession of any of China's continental terri tory While the deal is alleged not be closed, Japan is sure the plan would prove a disadvantage.
 The question is being asked every where, Why does America ask for the naturalization of railroads only in Manchuria?'' It is contended that if America were impartial in her propos- a1s she would also seek the neutrali- zation of the Chinese and of other powers, which are admitted to be a source of frequent disputes.

Especial from Limited Press) ]
 Granby, Jan. 10.-Before the ar- raignment at noon today of Fred Mes- senger on the charge of choking AL bert Filley to death on Day street in North Granby last evening, before Justice of the Peace Stanley Edwards, townspeople of the victim and the alleged murderer made a general de- nial to the effect that the deed was the result of feudS of long standing. Despite the fact that Messenger, fol- lowing his arrest last evening, admit ted his act and stated that there had been bad blood between Filley and himself the general opinion here is that the crime was committed with out premeditation, probably in a fit of temper.
 Offsetting this belief of Granby people, however, is the fact that both men were well known local trappers and it was understood there was great rivalry between the two in their pur- suit of furs. For years Messenger and Filley have spent many weeks of each winter at their traps in an attempt to outdo each other in the number of furs sent to the market. While no confirmation has yet been made of the report it is rumored that the men may have quarrelled last
