 The death of Herbert J. May, whose body was found in the Waterford woods under a clump of bushes Sun day afternoon, is surrounded in mys- tery and his relatives are puzzled They place no credence in a suicide theory, claiming that there was no reason for his seeking his own life. He had shown no indication of de- spondency and when he left the house last Tuesday he was apparently in as good spirits as ever. IL was supposed when he left his home that he was going to Providence, to get money that was due him. He did not put in an appearance that night and the members of his family began to feel some concern When Wednesday and Thursday passed and Friday came and May did not return home, the report of his absence was made to the po- lice authorities.
 May was 50 years of age and had been employed by the New Haven road as freight conductor for several years. Among railroad men and friends, he was known as industrious and a man of good habits Besides his widow he is survived by three daughters, Mrs. John c. Morgan, Misses Annie and Gladys. two sons, Gilbert and Earl He was a member of New London lodge, No. 500, Order Railway Conductors.

TAFTVILLE
Shade Tree Being Removed in Hunters
 Avenue Despite Many Objections.


 In spite of the strenous objections of residents on Hunters avenue against the removal of a large shade tree in front of the property of the St Louis society permission has been given by the selectman to cut down The tree is situated part way on the side walk at the south easterly corner of the St Louis property. Some days ago 0. Teller of Merchants avenue began to cut off a number of the large branches preparatory to removing the tree. Residents in that section pro- tested stating that the tree not only provided shade from the heat of the sun in summer but greatly added to the beauty of the avenue. They cir culated a petition to that effect and it was signed by a number of property holders and others in the neighborhood The petition was then taken to Select man Lillibrldge and he at once ordered the work of felling the tree stopped until investigation was made. Those favorable to the trees removal stated that as the tree was on the sidewalk 1t obstructed free passage across the walk and also said that the tree dark ened the avenue considera bIy at night After Investigating the facts relative to the case the selectman gave Mir. Teller permission to remove the tree and the work of cutting it down was resumed Wednesday afternoon.
