CIGAR STORE BURGLARY WAS EARLY MORNING JOB.
Boston Store Watchman Heard Ham, mering About 4 o'cIock-Thought It Came From Club Caretaker in Shannon Building.

Sounds of hammering heard by the watchman at the Boston store at about 4 o'clock Monday morning seem to locate that as the time when the burglars were at work in the United Cigar Stores place in the adjoining building where they got about $200 after taking the safe into the cellar and breaking it open.
 The watchman did nothing about the noise he heard, it is understood, because he believed the noise came from some one in the Shetucket club rapping brush on the window sill as he had heard this done before
 Accordingly fe did not investigate to see what the noise might be.
 Selecting such an hour for their work shows how closely the mauraud- CTS had laid tkeir plans to run the least chance of detection as this is the hour when the central part of the city has the least number of police men on patrol duty there as most of the night men finish their beats at 4 o'clock and are on their way home very shortly afterwards.
 Further details as to the use the burglars made of the Shannon build ing have also been learned as it is understood that the sledge hammer the office of Attorney John D. Hall on tho second floor of the Shannon building, whose windows are in close proximity to the roof where the sky light to the cigar store is.

DECISIONS IN TWO
 COMMO ION PLEAS CASES
Given by Judge WaIler-ln Suits Over
 Automobile and Horse.

The auto case of John A. Morgan, conservator for John A. Morgan, Jr., of Norwich vs. Charles R. Cooke of Pendleton Hill, has been decided by Judge Waller in favor of the plain tiff. In his finding Judge Waller says:
 I find that John A. Morgan, Jr., bought the auto in question and that he caused receipt for the same, as well as the register. to be made out in the name of the defendant for pur- poses which were expressed at the time. I cannot find that there was an intent on the part of Morgan to make an absolute gift of the auto to the defendant at the time it was pur- chased or that such gift was in fact ever made.
 Judgment may therefore be entered for the plaintiff for the possession of the auto described in the complaint together with costs of this action
 MT. Morgan was represented by F. H. Brown.
 Judge Waller has decided the horse case of Theodore D. Picard ys. Ray mond Crowley in favor of MT. Picard. Judge Walters finding reads as fol- lows:
 I find that the plaintiff has estab- lished the allegations of the complaint to the effect that the horse in ques- tion was sound in condition when the defendant hired the horse and that the condition of the horse, when re- turned, was due to the defendants S failure to exercise ordinary care.
 I find that the defendants negli- gence was the proximate cause of the death of the horse.
 Judgment may be entered for the plaintiff to recover of the defndant the sum of s250.

CRAZY MAN TAKEN
 TO THE ALMSHOUSE.
John Gray, 56, of Worcester, Believes
 He is Pursued by Men With Pistols.

John Gray, 56. of Worcester, was taken to the almshOuse on Tuesday after he had been locked up over night at police headquarters, where he had been brought by Dr. H. M Pollock Monday evening.
 The man has halluCinations that he is being pursued by a gang of Is or IT men who are trying to shoot him. He has formerly been at the Massachu- setts state farm for inebriates at Bridgewater and has broken his pa role, according to his own account, after being released from there on the 5th of March.
 While in confinement in the cell at police headquarters he believed he could see men boring through the side walls to get at him.
 Dr. Pollock at the state hospital first heard of the man about II o'clock Monday morning, when a woman from the East Side telephoned to him that a strangely acting man had been at her house and she thought he might be one of the patients from the state hospi- tai.
 The man, she said. had come to her house and asked her for a drink of water. She had given him this and then he asked for another drink, which she also gave him. He then asked for basin of water in which to wash his hands, and when he had been given this he told her that some men were after him and had not let him sleep for four days. He told her that she need not be surprised if she heard of his body being taken out of the Thames river and then he left the house in the direction of the river.
 Monday night about [ o'clock the man burst into the power house at the state hospital, wild eyed and terrified, and told the fireman that the men were after him to shoot him. The fireman took charge of him and notified Dr. Pollock, who conferred with the police headquarters here and said he would bring Gray here to be locked up.

FINANCIAL WRITER
 FORECASTS COST OF WAR
Places It at $16,eeo, 100000, Besides
 Economic Loss of $45,74o, ,oo0,0GO.

London. March r, 3.10 a. m.-Edgar CrammOnd, a prominent financial writer, read a paper before the Royal Statistical society yesterday dealing with the cost of the war. In his opin- ion the war must end in July through the exhaustion of some of the belli- gerents.
 MT. Crammond estimates the total cost of the war to the end of July as 3,39S, 100000 pounds ($16, ,990 900, ,O0O) and the total economic loss, through damage to property and other direct and indirect losses at 914S 900 OOG pounds ($45, TIC, 900 ,00O). He estimates that Great Britain alone will spend up to the end of July 7OS,000, GOO pounds.
 The Times. commenting on MT. Crammond's figures. thinks he takes somewhat exaggerated view, al- though he is in possession of facts which entftle his opinion to respect. The Times points out that Premier Asquith's estimate of Great Britain s expenditure during the same period was only 500,000,000 pounds, but adds:
 This certainly now appears too low, even if MT Crammond's estimate is too high, and it is already believed in financial quarters that the government will be obliged to recourse to a new war loan sooner than was anticipated, probably in the month of May"
