w Wna1Iey avenue, was fanSacked by
 burglars last Tuesday afternoon. In the absence of the family two men were seen coming from the back door loaded with suit cases
 The New Haven police issued de scrlptlons of the twain, together with 1 llsts of their loot. Brooks estimat- ed the value of the silverware, jewelry and clothes stolen at upwards of s. 800.
 Yesterday afternoon second hand store merchants Of this city reported the purchase Of clothing from two youths whom they suspected of hav- ing come dishonestly by their goods. The local detectives got busy at once, and this morning McAvoy with Brooks identified the clothing as part of the loot of the New Haven burglars.
 Detective Sergeant Hackett located the two boys at the Courtland street rom1ng house, and at il o'clock the detectives accompanied by Brooks went to the house. They took the youngsters completely by surprise.
 Realizing the futility Of trying to cloak their crime, in view of the seis- ure of the loot and the discovery or the discriminating letter, young Good made a partial confesion to McAvoy But he checked himself on realizing what he was doing, and said he would tell no more until he and Girard were brought together to make a joint con- fession.
 The suit cases of the pair were ex- am1ned in the office of Clerk Smith of the police department shortly before McAvoy started back for New Haven this afternoon. 1t was suspected that stuff taken in number of petty thteveries by sneak thieves locally might be discovered But nothing of the sort was found
 Included in the stuff, however. wore three pistols, besides the one Girard carried, one of them the property of the New Haven man who had been robbed
 It was at first suspected that they might be responsible for susnalr thief at the home of Richard Dundo1. 22e5 Fain1eld avenue, late yesterday, but nothing of the small quantity of loot taken there was found in their posses sion. =
 The correspondence discovered among their stuff showed that the pair had faneAe where they sold their stolen etsF in both New London and Philadelphia, and that the sfIverware- several hundred dollars worth--taken at the New Haven home, had been shipped there. The police got the wires busy to intercept the shipment.

 TITANIC DISASTER
Senator Smith Delves Into Stoke Hole of Olympic to
 Secure Testimony Chief Stoker of Titanic Tells How Many Were Drown ed Down Among the Boil CTS Before Leviathan Sank.

New York, May 25-In making an Inspection of the White Star Olympic today. before she sailed, United states Senator Smith and Rear Admiral R M. Watt discovered a valuable witness in Frederick Barrett, who was chief stoker on the Titanic and who was only few feet away from the part of the ship that was ripped open by an iceberg on the night Of Aprll I4' when the Titanic was sunk
 In the black stoke hole, stihing with heat. surrounded by blackfaced stok- CTS, newspaper men and few White Star line officials, Smith took Barrett deposition.
 one point was cleared that Smith said afterward was one of the most important thus far. It regards the speed of the ship at the time she struck the iceberg.
 According to the witness, who, when he was giving his testimony took a nIace similar to where he stood when fhe Olympic's sister ship struck, white light burns to show when the chip is going full speed. This llgnt waS burning, he said, when orders were flashed down to stop the engines: Also. witness declared that 24 out of "a bo;lers were lighted but he could mot say how many were connected
 Another startling point never before brought out came to light when Bar rett testified that many stokers were caught in the compartment from vhfch he and Second Engineer Hack ttt escaped just as the water began to hour into the ship and the automatic 6oors closed. In the most direct way possible, Barrett, in reply to Questlons, naid:
 "I was on duty in the forward sec aion the night of the collision. was aalkIne to the second engineer. Sud- tdenly they rang down from the bridge tn eton the engines, at the me time 6 red light dashed from the signal box.

 Before making complete tour of 4he liner. Smith took the statements of Captain Paddock, of the Olympic, and Wireless Operator Moore as to wireless messages relayed from the Carpathia.
 Smith had the entire list of mes- sares read from the wireless opera nor's book He also took away with him a long copy of the operators s inotes.

NEAT YOUNGSTERS FOUND IN BOOMING HOUSE HERE
 CONFESS BIG BURGLARIES
Lads of IS Secluded Themselves in
 Cour|and Street Residence

When Mrs. Frank l.. Ames, who conducts a rooming house at go Courtland street, admitted two neat looking boys on Wednesday, and ar ranged to rent them a back room on the third floor she had no suspicion that detectives were already hot on the trail of the youngsters for biz burglaries.
 Today Detective Sergeant McAvoy of New Haven and Detective Sergeant Hackett of this city entered the room, found the two boys lolling easily in arm chairs and smoking cigarettes ease.
 You boys had better come along with us,'' said Hackett. One of them, who later gave ths name of Good, snatched letter up from dresser, and tossed it through an open window. Girard ran to an- other window, looking down the three stories, and decided it would be bet ter to go with the police than to chance leap.
 Good ran across the room to a vest and fumbled at pocket, while Hackett, suspecting he was reaching for a pistol dealt him a staggering
 
 on 'McAvoy's orders and awaited for developments.
 Hackett ran down to the back yard, found the letter Good had flung out, and hastened back to the room. Meanwhile McAvoy, with a few de- fet motions had satisfied himself that Good carried no weapons. He was just going over the other lad when Hackett entered.
 What's this?" said he, as he felt solid on his mans. hip.
 Cannon" was the youngsters la comic reply. McAvoy fished out a fully loaded .38 calibre pistol.
 Waiting for the youths to pack their suit cases with their belongings, the detectives took them around the corner to Police headquarters. There they described themselves as follows:
 William Good, IS, native of Brook lyn. home New York city, shoe clerk. Good is about feet 5. weighs l30, and is we'll dressed.
 Thomas Girard, IS. New York city, clerk He is about the same stature as. his companion. Both have dark brown hair Good has brown eyes, Girard biz dreamy blue eyes.

O'Neil, state or ganizer of the American Federation. Jasper McLevy, president of the Gen. tral Labor union, presided. Business Agent Larkin of the machinists spoke briefly, as did James H. Smith of the same union.
 Vice President Keppler explained the working of the metal trades or ganizations in other parts of tie country. explaining how the men had been enabled to better conditions by the co-operation of all the trades. He explained that the theory of ofganiza- tion of the trades is that the griev- ance of one is the grievance of all, and showed the superiority for ag- gressive action that existed when all trades could be called together, or united in the same demands.
 The metal trades include the ma chinists, pattern makers, moulders polishers, brass workers, sheet metal workers. blacksmiths, and plumbers. The metal trades council is made up of delegates from each of the local unions who will in the future map out the policies to be pursued by all organized. metal trades workers in Bridgeport.
