BILL TO ALLOW
THEATRES TO KEEP
OPEN ON SUNDAY

New Haven, Jan. LIT is stated
upon excellent authority that a move
is on foot among the theatrical man
at this session Of the state legisla-
ture to allow theatres to keep open
on Sunday. This is in line with the
bill which has been drafted by for
mer Alderman Patrick s. Cunning
ham for Sunday baseball and would
have been made supplementary. to
that measure, states Mr.. Cunningham,
were it not for the fact that the
theatrical men have a separate bill
of their own.
The managers who are pushing this
measure, 1t is understood, are of Wa
terbury and Hartford. The local man
ayers have been approached on the

matter, it is stated, but are not In
any way actively interested in the
move nor have they given it their
support.
For some reason the hackers Of the
proposed bill intend to hold OF fol
several weeks before presenting their
measure. The idea of many Is to
work towards a continental Sunday in
Connecticut that is to have every
thing wide open as in Europe.

BOY MURDERED
BY KIDNAPPER
Little Fellow Poisoned Then
Brought in Auto to Spot
Where Body is Found
Especial from United Press

Albany. JAM 12-Efforts of the coro-
ner and the Albany police to establish
the identity of the five-year-old boy
whose body was found in a field near
this city, yesterday. have thus Tar
proven unavailing. That the boy was
murdered, the authorities are con-
WINGED.
That the little fellow was of a fair
station in life was indicated by the
well nourished condition of the body
and the nature of the clothing: The
spot where the body was found is a
lonely one on the outskirts of the
city, A hunter passing across the
field made, the discovery. It was evil
dent that the body had been there
since Sunday. as it was partly covered
with snow and the last snow rail- mere
was Sunday night.
Examination showed that death was
caused by carbolic acid. Beside the
body lay a bag of chocolate candies
and when these were picked up under
meath was found the empty vial that
had contained the poison.
Although the body was dressed in
a Fauntleroy suit and black ribbed
stockings. there was no trace of the
outer coat. cap or shoes. There was
no mud on the stockings which 1ndi-

druggist, but questioning him failed
to reveal any clue, as his books con-
tanned so many entries of persons to
whom carbolic acid had been sold to
permit tracing this particular bot
tie.
One theory advanced by the police
is that the boy was conveyed to the
spot where he was killed in an auto
mobile from some city nearby.
Chief Hyatt. Of the police depart
ment, today expressed the belief that
the boy was murdered by kidnappers
to prevent his giving evidence against
them. He is of the opinion that the
boy was brought to Albany from an
other city and that his murderers
started towards Schenectady after
disposing of the body. The place

and no one can be found who saw the
boy Saturday or Sunday.
The body was frozen to such an ex-
tent that the autopsy was postponed
until today.
The police have sent photographs of
the body to the principal cities in
the East and they hope to get. before
many hours. some clue. as to his lden-
tity. Up to the present time no boy

their records, circular from Wind

disappeared there in May. 1910. The

BAKER ELECTRICS
MAKE ROUND TRIP
Go to Baltimore and Return
on Single Charge.

George Weaver, OF the Cook & Stod-
dard Company, and John Batram. Of
Batram's Electric Garage, yesterday
drove two Baker electrics to Baltimore
and return, a distance of seventy-two
miles, each on one battery charge.
Both cars are stock machines, one
being a demonstrator that has been in
use since last fall. while the other Is
car owned by private autoist.
The start was made from in front OF
1913 New York avenue and the finish line
was Carroll Park, one mile inside the city
limits of Baltimore. The actual running
time for the round trip was six hours and
ten minutes. at an average speed Of
fraction less than twelve miles an hour.
The time consumed in returning was but
two minutes more than that spent in go
ing over showing how little current was
used.
In the presence of the automobile edi-
tors Of the four Washington newspapers
the cars were started at 10:i5 o'clock
yesterday morning. They were accom-
panied by the newspaper men in a Cad
lilac driven by Louis Weaver, and acted
as official observers. After luncheon in
Baltimore the party started back. arriy-
ing in Washington shortly before
o'clock. ...... -.
Commenting on the performance last
night, ]. NJ. Stoddard, of the Cook &
Stoddard Company. agents for the Baker,
said:
This is the first time that an electric
has ever mads the round trip between
the two cities under its own power.
Seventy-two miles over country road
means 125 at least over city streets, and
1 venture to say that either one Of those
machines, which are stock cars all the
way through, will show the same mile
age. The coasting ability of these shaft
driven cars makes 1t possible for them to
give such q mileage"

Number of Votes You Get

Heavy polling of votes seems to be
the order of the day in the World
automobile contest Each candidate
seems to be anxious to have her name
appear at the head of the list, and the
friends of the candidates are even
more anxious to have their favorites
stand well each day than are the
candidates themselves.
Yesterday morning there were six
different people in the office wait
ing for the paper to come off the
press to see how their candidate stood.
Enthusiasm of this sort so early in
the race is surely forerunner of still
greater things to come.
The list has only been published
three days, yet in nearly every dis
trict a different candidate has stood
at the top of the list.
sThs in itself shows something of the
widespread interest of this great gift
distribution among readers of the
World, and the public at large.
Outside Towns Arc Awake.
big report came in yesterday and
another this morning from two towns
covered by the campaign that hereto
fore have not figured very extensively
in the race. This shows that the small
Ter towns are going to give the city
of Tulsa the race of her life when the
day for the distribution of the seven
teen valuabl prizes comes.
All of the small cities adjacent to
Tulsa are proud of their favorte
daughters, and Jealous of their laurels,
and there will be some exceptional
cork done to win, so there will surely
be some excitement before the cam.
paign is many weeks older.
These hustling communities are
alive to every opportunity. The peo-
pie of these towns have a civic pride
that counts at time like this, and II
looks as though it would be a matter
between the towns rather than indi-
Niduals In many cases, although the
candidates themselves have all the
elements that appeal to popular ia
Nor.
A Systematic Canvass.

are laying the foundation for a sys-
tematic canvass, and are accordingly

canvass certainly pays. Just explain
to the prospective subscriber that you
are in the World contest and are try
ing desperately TO win. and as long
as he reads a paper anyway he might
lust as well have the best there is
for the same money. The World is
making extraordinary efforts to please
its readers, and is meeting with un-
usual success from newspaper point
of view. The World is the paper of

up in large numbers by the help OF
