SUICIDE FOUND HANGING FROM RAILROAD TRACK Police Believe Dead Man to Have Been Resident of
 Waterbury BODY DRAWN UP IN
 SITTING POSITION Card Tn Pocket Bears Name of J. H. Mitchell of
 Brass City

Again the .edeath, stretch'' of the New Haven tracks at the local depot came into prominenceew when, early this morning, Joe Butler. an employe of the Joy line, walking beneath the structure was amazed at finding the hody of a stranger swinging IaziIy in the breeze, suspended by the neck from a rope which had been made into Q hangmanss moose The body. though not resting upon anything was drasszz up into d sitting posture which hs greatly puzzled the police and medical antiquities. though it was apparent that the man, as yet unidentified. had committed suicide deliberately
 The police were at once called to the scene and, cutting down the remains moFgue, permission having been granted by Medical Exa miner S. M. Garlfck. A search of the clothing fail ed to reveal anything that would iden- tify the stranger other than a card bearing the name of J. H. Mitchell Waterbury. Conn, and a clothing la bel upon the coat showing that 1t had once been. purchased from Mullins, a Waterbury tailor. It is believed that the dead man came from that city and may possibly be J. H.-ATitchell.
 The mode of hanging is unique. The man went about his gruesome plans as if working upon the railroad struc- way. he got a heavy rope which he knotted in the form of a moose He then took a painters ladder and lean ed 1t up against one Of the heavy stone supports of the vfaduct. He attached the rope to the top rung of the ladder and, apparently carefully measuring his rope to provide for slack, Jumped from the ladder.
 The dead man was between s5 and 40 years old, weighing about 16O gray mixed hair, gray mixed coat, dark blue serge trousers with a clean shaven face He had been dead over an hour when found

Contradictory Letters From Condemned Slayer Reach
 Bridgeport

On the eve of his execution. Jo- seph Buonomo convicted of murder ing Lena Cava1ert in stratford. has sent two contradictory letters to this city.
 Tn one letter, addressed to a judge in the superior court, he, procIaims his innocence of any crime. He inn plores. the judge not to let him die for the murder which shocked the whole state in October, 1912
 Inquiries at the county courthouse today failed to find any official who would say anything regarding the contents of the nlissive. It was ad. mitted that such a letter had been received.
 oThe other epistle, sent to one of Buonomo's local friends, is vastly diff ferent. In this message. it is re ported that eRuonon admitted his guilt but claimed he was given poor advise at the time of the trial. He declares he was told to plead guilty and he would be given a light sen tence. The accused and his family raised $45O which he VI .oi<z would be sufficient to keep him from the death sentence Ruonomo says he would not have pleaded guilty if he had not been given such strong assur- ances.
 The board of pardons recently re- fused to grant Buononoss plea for mercy and he will be hanged at Wethersfe1d, June 80.

HOAX SUSPECTED IN BOYS STORY OF
 DROWNED YOUTH

Whether young Italian boy who was yesterday swimming in the Berk- sire pond was drowned while his com panions sought to rescue him, or whether in a spirit of deviIitry a crowd of urchins were playing hoax upon the residents of the neighbor- hood is a question that today agitate that section of North Washington avenue and River street adjoining the waters of the pond.
 At about 3:30 o'clock a crowd of Italian boys rushed up to the Berk- shire Mill company employees and in formed them that a boy had drown ed A search was made about the spot where he was believed to have sunk but no body was found.
 Richard Flanagan, who works in the Schwartz Brothers carpenter shop on River street was at a bench near an open window when he saw three or more boys swimming about in the waters near the mill. Sud- denly he heard a cry and one of the lads sank. One of the older boys div ed after him but the attempt was sap- parently fruitIess. The boys went on shore clothed themselves, and dis appeared from his view. Later he saw searching. parties about the shore.
 Rumor about the mills today was to the effect that hoax was being played by the boys and one Italian speaking man in the vicinity remark ed that one of the boys, who had been absent from his home from early in the morning, was given a severe chas- tisement upon his return home in a bedraggled condition.
 No missing boys had been report ed today at the police stations and for that reason the rumor is not giv- en great credence in police circles.

FEE PLANT BUR ARSON IS SUSPECTED

Tdofchk1sSville Conn, June 27-OnIy the office building remains of the plant of the American Shear and Knife Co.,, which was swept by fire early today. The total loss is placed at between $1oo. 900 and $125, 900. on which there is an insurance of about $65,OO0, COW ering the entire plant
 Albert France. returning home from a dancer in the borough, sasw flames shooting out of the windows on the north side of the main building, near the celluloid department. He got in and opened the fire whistle and tied 'it down. By doing this France prob ably prevented an explosion as the whistle exhausted the. steam in the boiler.
 The theory is that the fire was set. Everything was in proper order when the factory closed, last night.
 There was no night watchman. Men who went to the fire could do little. The chemical engine was used, but as the spring which supplied the stand pipe was low, little water was avail able.
 The company employed about 150 hands. The product was pocket knives and shears. All machinery was in. the main building. The nearby shed were also burned.
 Roswell A Clark of Kansas City. Mo-, ssis president and owner of the company. He bought the plant from Herbert S. Dormitzer on June 2 1913g and there Is law suit pending over the transfer. Mir. Clarh has been stop ping in Waterbury for the past year MT DormAtzer, who represented Wood bury. in the legislature in 1909, took over the plant in Decembers 1902 It was founded in 1853.

.GIRLS' MONEY TIED UP IN LOANS TO
 CHAPLIN COMP ANY

New York. June 27-while no de- finite plans have been decided upon for the Reorganization of the H. B. C7nflin company, which went into the hands of receivers on Thursday three possibilities are said to be under con stderatiora-
 The first of these provides for an actual consolidation of the C1aflin chain of stores instead of having the union vested in stock ownership by John C1ahfn. This plain would make the New York house in effect a pur- chasing agency for the retail stores and cut it off from relations with any other stores
 The second plan would retain the strong members of the group of stores and provide for the liquidation of the others
 The third proposal provides for the taking over of stores by the banks of the cities in which they are located.
 The banks would then determine whether liquidation was wise, or whether individual reorganization should be brought about.
 It was stated today that, when the report of the receivers accountants Is made public, it will show a suaostan- tia1 part of the companys loans were made to it by employees A suggestion of this practice came before Judge Hand yesterday when attorneys for the receivers applied to the court for the release of $707.04 held insthe moneys of the Defender Misunderstanding com pany, a C1af1in subsidiary.
 This company employed $50 girls. Each summer they set aside 25 or 50 cents a week for a vacation fund.- This money was deposited with the com pany. Judge Hand signed the order of release. assuring the girls the im- med diates aIlSe of this money.

CONNECTICUT BANKS CANNOT QUALIFY IN
 FEDERAL RESERVE

Washington, June H.-Fifty state banks and trust companies all told, have qualified for membership in fed eral. reserve banks as against 7,5oo na- tional banks
 This small number of state institu- tions in the new federal banking plan is due chiefly to state laws forbfdding state. banks to acquire stock in other corporations. There are only twenty states in which the treasury depart ment officials are absolutely certain 1t is possible for state banking insti- tutions to become members Of the new federal reserve banks without some modification of the laws
 Connecticut is not in the list
 The reserve bank organization com nnittee early next week will mail to the electors of all member banks a complete list of the nominees for di- rectors in their various districts.
