LOVE NOTES TELL
 MISER'S MISERY
Mystery of Stamford Man Who Died Worth $25O,000
 is Revealed

Stamford, Feb. 10-A mystery that puzzled neighbors who knew as a miser William P. Mallory, who died here last week from apoplexy, has been cleared by discovery among his effects of packets of love letters. These show that he had been twice disappointed in love.
 Friends who know the circumstances and have read the letters say that they explain the tragedy of the man s life. MT. Mallory'S first love affair was with Chicago widow older than he. It was not long after the Civil War, in which he served after run- ming away from his home in Danbury He was then in business in Chicago and was prospering. He became en- gagged to the widow, but his relatives interfered and persuaded him to give her up.
 MT. Mallory had been in early life sort of dandy, always abreast of the styles. He became more and more careless of dress. Then his health There he met Miss Sarah Jackson, and after time. it appears, forgot the widow and laid siege to the heart of the Catskill woman.
 This courtship covered a period of few years, Miss Jackson died, and SliHuItaHcouSIy, IL now dppedTS, all ln- tereSt in the things of life which ap- peal to normal folk seemed to go from MT. Mallory's life. He became a money changer. He would lend mon ey on personal property or on real es- tate. He was shrewd and close, and grew wealthy. After his death there were found in his bedroom stacks of years old, and in the folds of these were notes and checks that had never been put through the banks. Some of them were thirteen years old. There were United States bonds, State bonds, mining stock, American Express stock and other stocks and bonds. These newspapers had been the mans deposit vault.
 For eight years I never slept a wink at night, but sat in rocking chair guarding them,'' he said before death. "I would sleep in the daytime only.'
 During these eight years no one but took care of the room. The value of the property concealed in newspa- pers was close to $100, ,000. Many of the coupons had not been clipped off the bonds. It is estimated that MT. Nal lory's estate is about s250,0o0. He left no will and his estate will go to three sisters who live at Hamilton, Canada, and are said to be wealthy. They are Mrs. Julia D. Marshll, Mrs. Eve R. Hurd nd Mrs. Helen G, Brown.
 There are also wealthy cousins in Danbury and in Boston. He had re- sided here twenty years. Previously he had lived in White Plains and Chi cago. For year or So before death MT. Mallory did not take off his shoes. He had dropsy and feared that if he took the shoes off the disease would affect his feet so that he could never put them on again.
 Notwithstanding this, he had plenty of good clothing. He bought new clothing regularly, but never wore 1t. Until his health failed Mr. Mallory transacted his business on the veranda of his residence. He would not even allow. his lawyer to enter his room.

East Litchfield Changes.

The Railroad Commissioners held hearing Wednesday on the petition or the New York New Haven & Hart ford Railroad Go. to eliminate two station and make certain changes in the layout of tracks. with re-loca- tion of the station. A map that had been filed showed the layout of a pro- posed new highway which would com mence just east of the bridge across East Litchfield station on the Nauga- tuck division. This highway would run nearly parallel with the railroad in a northerly direction until 1t reach ed the present highway just north or the grade crossing. north of East new bridge in connection with the proposed road. about 500 feet north of the present wooden bridge. Near the north end of this bridge the ap- proach to the new overhead crossing would begin extending westerly. cross ing the main track and switches on a three-span bridge and connecting with the present highway about 300 feet north of the present station building at East Litchfield. The tracks and sidings would be relocated about 150 feet east of their present location. In connection with this. the station would be moved north and east of its present position. Highway Commission Mac donald said that he had made an a agreement with the railroad company to build the proposed north and south road the company to build the bridges and the approaches to the overhead bridge. as this would be an important link in the trunk line from New York to Massachusetts. Selectman Pat rick Burke of Litchfield spoke in oppo- sition of the proposed construction at the end of the west approach. but was in favor of eliminating the crossings. David Johnson of East Litchfield was opposed to the plan, as 1t would dam age his property Selectman W. J. Barber of Harwinton spoke in favor of the plan.
 Thihks He Saw Panther.
 The report that a panther had been heard in the woods about West Goshen has recalled to Norfolk auto mobilist a thrilling experience of his own not long since and seems to make more than probable the fact that one or more of these somewhat rare but savage beasts may be now living in the vast and for the most part, unin- habited tract of forest extending from the southwestern boundary of Norfolk for some twenty miles to the south and west. The gentleman referred to while driving his machine over one of the lonely roads in South Norfolk (which. by the way. joins West Goshen). was startled to see what he was a large wildcat spring suddenly from the roadside and dash across the road just in front of the

Swimming Taught to Grammar School
 Boys at Y. M. o. A,

Many people lose their lives each year through inability to swim. The Young Mems Christian Associations throughout the country have been do- ing a great service in teaching men and boys this art. A campaign is be- ing carried on all over the country whereby thousands of boys are being taught to swim. The Bridgeport Y. M. c. A. has fallen in line and is anxious to do their part in this great work, and have thrown open their swimming pool to the grammar school boys.
 MT. Harvey Wendt, physical director of the public schools. cooperating with the Boys and Physical Depart ments of the Y. M. c. A. has been instrumental in starting this work. It has been planned to handle as many as eighty boys week. forty will re- ceive instruction on Wednesday and the rest on Saturday morning.
 A total of forty boys from the Lin- coin, City Normal Barnum, Pros pect. Washington and Maplewood schools took advantage of the privilege Wednesday. All of them were from the seventh and eighth grades. From 4:30 to 5:30 P. M. this work was car ried on, and the boys enjoyed mid winter plunge thoroughly. Two squads Of twenty each were handled To each of these squads was assign ed instructors, members of the Boys Department. These boy instructors are receiving an all-round physical education throughout the year and they are all expert swimmers. Those who instructed yesterday were Royal Rowland, O'Brien, Lynch, Sherman Winsor, John Winsor, Buckley and John Hincks.
 It is hoped that before next summer comes no boy in the grammar schools will be unable to swim. and to this end the campaign will be carried on as long as necessary to accomplish this result

SEN. LA TOILETTE PUTS HOT ONE
 OVER TO TAFT
In Open Letter He Asks if Pre- sident is Trying to Evade Re- sponsibility For Fraud Land Claims
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington, Feb. 10-A direct de- mand that President Taft answer whether he is now seeking to evade responsibility for the Cunningham Alaskan Coal land claims, which he publicly and voluntarily assumed" was made, today, by Senator LaFol- lette, (Rep., Wis.) in an open letter to Taft
 LaFollette charges that the Ealing CT bills introduced in the Senate by Nelson, (Rep., Minn), and said to have the approval of Taft, would result in ningham claimants with full knowl- edge of the governments case.
 The two bills referred to are de- signed to transfer the cases to the courts for fiLal disposition. LaFol- lette reviews the action of Taft in taking in hand personally these cases which formed the basis of the Glavis- Pinchot charges against Ballinger and points out that he permitted Pinchot to file brief with him. Tn part, the letter says:
 'The evidence establishes conclu- sively that these claims were entered under an illegal agreement to combine after title was secured. Both the doc- umentary and the oral evidence in the case proves beyond argument or dispute that the Cunningham entries should be cancelled on grounds of fraud.
 Long ago the secretary of the in- terior announced that he considered himself disqualified from acting in regard to the Cunningham case.
 'It is easy to conceive that MT. Ball. fingers subordinates would feel a ser ious embarrassment in deciding this particular case contrary to the ex- pressed opinions of their chief.
 But now that you have assumed the responsibility of the situation there appears no reason why the extraor- dinary step of seeking legislation to wrest the case from your hands should be taken. Such a step will eff fectually postpone the cancellation of the Cunningham claims for an indefi- mite period.
 sponsibilfty for the disposal of this case You have taken it out of the hands of the Interior Department. There is, in this case, therefore, no so-called vicious circle of inveStiga- tion and adjudication officers of the same department. It is a matter sole ly of executive duty, executive re- sponsibility.
 "This being the case, it is proper and important that Congress know the executive attitude toward these two pills. It is in this particular instance, quite as important that the public know it.
 "Is 1t your desire that the 11th hour Congress should take from your hands the Jurisdiction of this case-a Jurisdiction you voluntarily and pub licly assumed-if so upon what grounds of public policy or of public benefit?"
 The letter was signed "LaFollette's Weekly Magazine" but was accepted here as a direct communication from the Senator himself.

HIGH COST OF LIVING PROBE
 IS HELD UP
CBy Our Staff corres.)


 Hartford. Feb. 10-The high cost o1 living probe proposed under the reso- lution introduced into the House last week by Representative Fillmore S Banks of Fairfield. has been ~unex- pectedly held up through the tablins of the resolution in the Senate.
 The resolution provided for the ap- pointment of joint committee of one Senator and four Representatives to investigate the cost of the necessities of life. particularly coal and ice. with especial attention to the question as to whether their high price was due to any combination.
 The resolution passed the House unanimously. and was forwarded to the Senate. where 1t has been tabled and where no action has yet been taken.
 Representa- tive Banks said yesterday he couldn't understand why the meas ure had been held up. He said he didn't know whether the Senate want ed to make the inquiry with a joint committee. But he said that the in- vestigation would be made in any event. for if the Senate should decline to make the joint investigation. the House would make an investigation On its own account.
