HAD LOAD OF BOOTY
 FROM HARDWARE STORE
Charles canat Discovered by Police man Murphy at Rear of Preston Bros.

A ffteen-year- -old boy, laden with two air rifles, a pair of skates, a pearl handled knife and some shot for the guns, was arrested by the police at 11.s0 Thursday night in the rear of Preston Bros. store, on Franklin square. At police headquarters the youngster told how he had climbed up on top of the fence that runs along behind that store, and standing there had been able to take the glass out of cracked window, slip the catch, open the window and get into the store.
 When Officer Patrick Murphy went around, as usual, to try the rear doors of the buildings along his beat, he saw the boy standing in the shadow, and about five feet away the air rifles and skates lying on the ground. The off, Ger pretended not to notice them and the boy went up the alley. Officer Murphy made a turn about and was waiting, out of sight, when the boy sneaked back to get his booty. The young chap, who was quiet and well hammered at police station, gave his name as Charles Canat, aged 15, and said his father and mother live on Ta1- man street.
 George c. Preston of Preston Bros. was notified by Captain Twomey of the break, and came down to make an investigation. He found that nothing had been taken other than what the boy had with him.

FIRE DEPARTMENT TWICE CALLED
Box g Rung For Fire Clothes Press 256 Main Street
 Blaze Quickly Extingushed- Telephone Call For Chim ney Fire in Maple Street House.

There were two calls for the fire de- partment on Thursday, the first at 2 few minutes before 4 o'clock, which was a bell alarm for a fire in a clothes press in a tenement at No. 256 Main street, and the second at S.04 in the evening, which was a telephone call for chimney fire at No. 201 Maple street.
 Fireman John E. Blackburn, who was off duty at the time turned in the alarm for the fire at No. 256 Main street by ringing box 23 on Franklin square, near Ferry street, when two women came running down the stair way at No. 256 and out of the house, saying there was a fire inside. He could see the smoke coming out of the windows on the second and third stories. The place is occupied as a lodging house and the fire was in a clothes press off the front bedroom on the second foor Someone had prob ably gone into the closet with a match, Chief Stanton thought, and accidental ly set the clothing on fire.
 The blaze had a good start when the hremen arrived, but no water was needed, as the line of chemical from the autochemica1 and another from Chemical company No. 1 were all suffi- cient to subdue the blaze.
 small section of the wall of the clothes press. also had to be chopped out where the fire had started to eat into the building.
 The steamer responded to the alarm and was located at the cistern in Franklin square and had a fire going under it's boiler and steam partly up by the time the recall was sounded, soon after the companies arrived at the scene. The combination ladder truck was also on hand, and a. small extension ladder was used to get up to a front window from the sidewalk.
 A quantity of the smouldering clothes from the closet was thrown from the windows of the house on to the side walk
 This is the same place where on the evening of Oct. 31 Charley Myels was found in the hallway of the top floor with his clothing partly burned off and his legs badly burned. He went

 Search for Chimney Fire.
 At SO4 o'clock in the evening there came the excited tones of a woman 8 voice over the wire to the West Main street station, and a few moments later, while the hitch was being made by the f1remen, the alarm was reiterat- ed. It sounded like 21 Maple street in the stress Of the moment, and Chemical No. ? from the West Main street sta tiOn and the autochemica1 from the central station went to that number. But at that place no sign of fire had developed and the finding of the blaze they were to fight became the task of the firemen.
 Chief Stanton was able to command the use of an automobile and leaving the apparatus behind he started out Maple street to run down the e1usiv@ blaze. His scouting was unsuccessful until he got as far as No. 85 on thaf street and met a man who told him that there had been a slight blaze at No. POI Maple street. but that a few pails of water had quenched it without damage. Then the fremen went back to their respective houses.
 The moral of the incident is that too much care cannot be exercised in send ing in a telephone alarm. At best it lacks the assurance of the bell alarm and in this particular case the similar ity in name of Maple court, Maple Grove avenue and Maple street might have led to confusion.
 The fire was in the house at 201 Maple street, owned by George A. Bur lingham, where Herbert E. Allen and his family. have their home. It was a blaze in a chimney, and the people in the house. with the help of the neigh bors, put the blaze out with practically no damage
 The house was outside of the city limits, as it turned out, but Chief Stan ton was prepared to send the men and apparatus there, in case of need.

DENIED NON SUIT MOTION
 IN RREAKWATER CASE
Defense 5egins-60-Po Rock is an Exhibit-Case Goes Over to Next Week

In the superior court here on Thurs day the day was occupied with the continuation of the trial of the suit of Joseph Novy against the Breakwater company for $15,000 damages. After the plaintiff had rested, AttOr- ney Loomis made a motion for a non suit and argued it, but Judge Shun- way denied the motion without hearing what argument Attorney Whittlesey for the plaintiff had to make against it.
 The concluding witnesses for the plaintiff on Thursday morning were John J. Ryan, a New London alder man. who owns quarries. and who tes- tified to the need of foremen warning workmen, and George K. Crandall of New London, who told of the righl slope for banks.
 After the motion for non-suit had been denied, Attorney Loomis proceed ed with the case for the defense.
 His first witness was Joseph Wicki, a fellow workman of Novy. The wit ness testified through Louis Coleman, a Polish interpreter from New Haven.
 Archibald Torrance gave expert tes- timony on methods of safeguarding banks in quarries, and Frank Piascik and Joseph D. Balastini, who were there working when Novy was hurt, told of the circumstances. A round boulder weighing about 50 pounds was
 
 stone that hit Novy Gennare Bettruc- ci acted as interpreter for the last two witnesses.
 The last witness for the afternoon was Michael J. Drury, who has been in the quarry business since 1896 at vari- ous places, and was in charge of the Breakwater company's quarry at the time of the accident to Novy. He tes- tified to the character of the soil in the bank where Novy was working and said this was the same kind of work at which Novy had been employed ever since he worked in the quarry. He gave it as his opinion that the men at work on the job with the foremen would be well able to judge of any danger they were in and there would be no greater safety if an inspector were on watch while they were at work
 rough sketch of the location, pre- pared by Civil Engineer Charles E.. Chandler, was used with the testimony of this witness.
 The trial of the case will be con- tinued Tuesday morning.
