used in the United States. are not
adaptable to the tropics on account Of
rusting. This is especially true dur

DEATH AT COUNTY HOME
Recalls Career of Thomas Luce, Sent
to State Prison for Burglary.


With the series of tragedies and
near tragedies that have surprised
this town within the past few days,
comes the reminder of another of the
past in the death at the county home
for children. near Putnam, of little
Thomas Luce. 6, one Of several chill
dren of Thomas and Margaret Luce,
committed to the home about three
years ago, following the sending Of
their father from this place to serve

in Danielson in company with his
brother law and with one of his
Quce's) little sons as an accessory,
the boy being lifted through windows
in places to be robbed and forced to
assist in the criminal work.
The arrest of the father was fol-
lowed Ky the breaking up Of a home
of utter poverty and squalor and the
sending of the children to the county
home, where they have been well cared
for, Thomas dying as the result OF an
attack of spinal meningitis. The body
was brought to Danielson Tuesday
night by Undertaken Louis F. Ken

In Colonial Days They Would Have
Known What to Do With John
Tracy.

John Tracy, a character well known
in police circles, was in police court
Wednesday morning charged with nom
support. He was arrested on complaint
of his wife. Sarah When the landlord
served a writ upon her and her nus
band to vacate their home on Brook
street Mrs. Tracy who is in delicate
health, sought assistance from the au-
thorities. 1t was learned that Tracy
had not done anything for his wife
since Christmas eve, 1911. He is young
and well able to work, and warrant
was accordingly sworn out for his ar
rest. He was locked up Tuesday even
ing.
Wednesday morning he entered a
plea of not guilty, and Assistant Prose-
cutting Attorney Samuel B. Harvey
asked g. continuance of the case until
Saturday of this week, which was
granted There are two children in
the household, and the womans pres
emit condition is such that she is I'M
able to work outside of her own home.
Tracy attained considerable notoriety
a few years ago by marrying woman
nearly twice his age after she had
purchased a wedding suit for him, an
overcoat, and procured the marriage
license, as well as paying the clergy
mans fee. Two days after the we'd
ding Tracy gave his wife a Se%lting and
she had him arrested. They did not

AUTO STOCK COMPANY.
New Business Corporation Planned
for the City.

Willimantic men are contemplating
the forming of a stock company or a
corporation to embark in the automo-
bile business. 1t is the intention to
secure a desirable plot of land and
erect a substantial brick structure
thereon to be used for the storage of
automobiles and as a salesroom. The
men plan to have modern and up
todate garage, capable of meeting all
the demands that may be required of
1t. The men back Of the proposition
say that the automobile business has
come to stay and that the auto can
do more and better work than horse
ever could. The fact that during the
year Willimantic is visited by a large
number of automobile parties is one
reason for the construction of the big
garage, as these could then be properly
handled.
The formation Of the company and
the erection of the building will mean
just so much more business in the
city and another solid substantial
structure to be added to the city's fast
growing number.
