Barton charged with burglarizing the Hartigan drug store on Fairfield avenue twice short ly before, the police believe that one of the most important captures for several months has been made. KeI- ley was arrested almost as he left tha store, his pockets full Of cigars in boxes. candy and cigarettes. There was also a key that fitted the front door. It is believed to have been made some time ago from one owned by a. former employe of the store. Kelley also worked at the store some time ago. In a statement to Police man Barton he Implicated the others and they were rounded up within a short time at their homes. dncrim- mating evidence was sfound Before Judge Wilder at today's city. court session they were held for superior court. Kelley's bonds was fixed at $1,50O, Foran and Minors at $1, 900 each and $500 for Moore.
 Shortly after o'clock Policeman Barton, patrolIing his beat between Broad and Main streets on Fairfield avenue. saw three forms in the door way of the store. Considering it as suspicious, he hurried there only to find that the three had become only two, Fsoran and Minor. They gave the 1afe-party excuse, were ordered home and started to run after getting a lit tie distance away. His suspicious stimulated, Policeman Barton watched the doorway and was soon rewarded by hearing the door slam. and seeing Kelley make the exit. He was stop ped, held by Policeman M. J. Kane and searched, the evidence being found The patrol was used in round ing up the others.
 Former Fire Commissioner Joseph D. Hartigan identified the property as his and said that there have been losses, in stock and money. at the store for some months but that it was brought about in such a way that it could not be traced and no particular person was suspected. He also said that he understood there was the same kind of losses extending over a considerable time before he bought the | store.
 Investigation indicates that Kelley was the prime mover and an attempt is being made to connect him with other '.key'' jobs. One of his eompan- 1 ions said that he did little work, but always seemed to be supplied with
 money

It is not to be assumed that every Progressive went back to his party, nor that every Democrat voted with his party
 It is probably true that exchanges from one party to the other neutral ized each other, leaving the victory to the broad fact that Progressives returned to the fold, under the stimu- lus of claim Of business depression.
 The same return of ProgreSsives is shown in the vote for Jeremiah Dono- van for Congress. ills vote in Bridge port was 641 greater than it was in 1912 He had then 5,542 votes and bad 6, 183 yesterday. His vote is great CT than thai given to Baldwin and Tingier,g and yet he is beaten by 1,55S. This result is again accounted for by the return of something like 5000 Pro gTessiyes.

YIRGA DEFEATED FOR
 BOARD OF SELECTMEsN

Joseph c. Yirgas Jr., Democrat, was defeated for selectrnan because his total vote. 6,136, was the lowest of the three Repu h1icans and three Dem ocrats named. Each party names three candidates and the five having the largest individual total votes are elected.
 Fourteen Democratic justices of the peace and thirteen Republicans were elected. Nomination on the ticket of one of the two leading political part ies is equivalent to election for this office. The party in power at the time of election is allowed to name one more candidate, hence the Demo crats get fourteen Justices.
