UNW|TTINC HOST
FINDS PARTY IN
CHAIRS ASLEEP
Strange Tale Of Black Rock
Painter Bewilders the
Detective Bureau
While He Slept Two Men
and Woman Climbed
Through Window and
Held All Night Revel.

John Kronenberg, well known
painter living at 1886 Fairfield avenue,
may have been entertaining a troupe
of angels unawares last evening, but
when he reached police headquarters
today to tell his troubles to the De-
tective bureau, he was pretty well
convinced that there was nothing
angelic about his guests.
Kronenberg came downstairs in his
home which is situated near Brewster
street, and found to his surprise that
the first floor showed considerable dis
arrangement. AS he walked into a
front room he came across two large
we'll built men, and a woman, all
three asleep in chairs. They awoke
as he entered the room. He demanded
an explanation and the two men
showed so much Indignation that he be-
lieved it discreet to withdraw.
In a few moments the three walked
out of the house. Then Kronenberg
began an investigation. He found a
broken window catch, where he be-
lieves one Of the three forced an en-
trance, unlocking the door to allow
the others to enter.
The room reeked with tobacco smoke
and liquor. Kronenberg found a num-
ber of cigar and cigarette butts, and
a whiskey bottle with a small amount
of liquor left also several side combs.
He has no idea Of who his strange
visitors were.

DETECTIVES
BAFFLED BY

Admit They Have No Lead

Point to Robbery as Mo-

Erie, Pa, Feb. 11.-Despite the
promise OF the detectives who have
been investigating the destruction of
the Scott Mausoleum, that those re-
sponsible for desecrating the tomb
would quickly be caught, the officers
admit they have no substantial clue.
A party Of heavily armed policemen
and detectives hid through last night
in clump Of trees in the cemetery
hoping that the ghouls would pay the
place another visit. Their work was
unrewarded. however, as their vigil
was not disturbed.

Cullom, supposed to have been stolen

BUSINESS MEN TO MEET
NEXT WEEK TO DISCUSS
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
president Acted Wisely in Demanding Large
: Meeting

Some time in the near future, prob
ably next week Friday, a speciaf
meeting Of the Bridgeport Business
Mems association will be called for
the purpose of taking some sort of
official action upon the 90 amendments
to the charter of the City of Bridge
port, proposed by the Taxpayers
League
This action was mapped out at a
meeting of the directors of the asso-
ciasion this morning, who furthermore
made arrangements to have the pro-
posed amendments printed and distri-
buted among all the members OF the
Business Mems association for care
full consideration.
The directors Of the association
held a very harmonious meeting this
morning and generally agreed that
President F. w. Bolande acted wisely
at the meeting the night before last
in not permitting such small meet
ing to act upon the amendments in the
name OF the Business Mems associa-
ton
II was agreed that it is desirable
to have as large an attendance as
possible on such an important matter
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-02-11

and that the amendments should be
thoroughly understood by the MEM
bers before the taking Of an official
vote For this reason it was decided
to get the amendments out In printed
form.
The matter Of acting upon the
amendments is one which has requir-
ed very tactful handling on the part
of officers of the association for the
reason that a few Of the most in
fluential members of the Business
Mems association are also prominent
in the Taxpayers league. These men
naturally desired the endorsement Of
the Taxpayers league measures, while
on the other hand it was seen that to
lend the name of the Business Mems
association to charter amendments
which carried such a unique and un-
workable referendum might arouse
sentiment greatly to the disadvantage
Of the association. Hence the officers
of the association were placed between
two fires and it required delicate
handling to solve the situation in a
manner satisfactory to all.
A S President F. w. Bolande witt
leave next week for trip to Wash
ington, the calling Of the special meet
ing probably will devolve upon Vice
President Charles D. Davis.

had contained bodies. We saw that
the oody of my aunt was missing and
naturally believed it had been re-
moved from the tomb.
''The body of my father. William
l.. Scott. had not been touched, al
tnougn there were aa few marks on
the crypt cover. My mothers casket
had been pulled partly from the niche
but 1t had not been broken into.
The casket containing my aunt's
remains was almost demolished but
the Dody had not been removed.
Cofflns, containing corpses of John
McCullom. Richard Townsend and his
Daoy, Anna Townsend, were not
harmed. Silver name plates and
ornaments We're torn from several.
NOW that the body has been found
and the detectives assure us arrests
are certain, it is different. I feel
pretty certain-that whatever the
motive, the ghouls were interrupted
In their work by the discovery of the
burglary"

The Council Committee on Harbor

CREW OF WAR SHIP
A FULL REGIMENT
BattIeShip Utah Will Garry
1900 Men of Many Differ
ent CaIIingS

WASHINGTON. July 20.-It will take
full sized regiment, Just about 1920
men, to make up the complement of the
big battle ship Utah, which is to go
into commission within month and join
the Atlantic fleet under Admiral Oster-
haus at the completion of the present
maneuvers.
Readers of accounts of past great ma
val battle where the crew of ship of
the line numbered only a few hundred
men, may Ind 1t hard to realize the
great number of men required on the
dreadnoughts of this day. But there is
need for every one of them, though the
old Jack Tar plays small part in the
ships management. Many trades are
now represented. There are machinisIs,
electricians. telegraph operators, eng1-
neers, boiler tenders and a small army
of firemen and ash handlers. Ais ,,
there is formidable force of marines
who are police of the ship. The ma
rines also man the batteries of second
airy guns and always are told off first
for the landing parties The recruiting
officers will have an ample crew for the
Utah when the ship hoists her COM
mander's flag.
