BELGIAN GRENADIER
 HELD FOR ESPIONAGE
Paris Police Arrested Pierre Bacycns for Wearing French Uniform and
 Military Medal Without Authority

Paris, April 1 5, 5:2O a. m-An in Nalided Belgian grenadier giving the name of Pierre Baeyens, has been ar rested by the police of Paris on the charge of wearing the uniform of the French army and Q French military medal without authority. The eX- amining magistrate later altered the charge against him to one of espion- age.
 The identity of Baeyens is some thing of mystery. He was found to have travelled recently in the regions around Nancy. the Pont-a- ne also visited the principal naval sta stions, where he tried to establish relations with soldiers and sailors. Louis Petitalo, a sailor on French submarine at Cherbourg, has declared that he recognizes in Baeyens a Bel gian grenadier who offered to guide party of French bluejackets during the fighting at DiXmude, and then led them into an ambush.
 The police are of the opinion that Baeyens is a German who enlisted in the Belgian army for purposes of es- pionage.

NO JAPANESE NAVAL
 BASE IN MEXICO
Japanese Embassy Brands As "Pre- postcrouS'' Reports Circulated to
 That Effect.

Washington, April 15.-An official statement authorized by the Japanese embassy today characterized as pre- posterous" reports that a naval base has been established at Turtle Bay, Lower California, and declared there never has besn any intention on the part of the Japanese government to locate naval base or occupy any territory on the west coast of Mex ico."
 Operations of Japanese warships in Turtle Bay, embassy officials said, were solely for the purpose of sal Haging the stranded cruiser Asama. It was stated that while detailed re- ports from the scene had not been received, as the consul general at San Francisco was handling the mat. ter, landing on the shore of the bay probably had been found necessary in connection with the salvage work.
 Of reports tat naval base had been established the embassy state ment said: Tt is more than absurd; it is prepOsterous: There never has been any intention on the part of the Japanese government to locate a naval base or to occupy any territory on the west coast of Mexico. A few Japan csc fishermen. about a score in num- Der perhaps, frequent the waters of this bay, but they have no connec- ton whatever with the Japanese naval esta ablishment

HUSBAND AND WIFE
 BURNED ID DEATH Another Family of Seven Have Narrow Escape in
 Montville Fire.

Montville, April 15.-Charles and Jennie Church, husband and wife, were burned to death shortly after midnight this morning in a tenement house fire in the hamlet of Pequot across the Oxoboro river from the Palmertown road. Peter Titsky and his wife got out their five sleeping children in the other section of teh double house without having a sec ond of time to spare.
 How the fire started is unknown. It was discovered by Tony Bebick, a Po- fish mill hand. who boards in a near by house. Bcbick woke up the Titsky family and tried to arouse the Churches. They were not seen and it is highly probable that both were suffocated as they slept.
 The floor of the second story bed room in which Mir. and Mrs. Church slept fell to the ground floor with charred iron bed and spring intact and the bodies of the unfortunate man and wife on the embers.
 The loss by fire is about $2,000.

$59,000 FOR SEAT
 ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Advance Over Last Actual Sale of S9,00O-Trading in Stocks in
 Large Volume.

New York. April 15.-Fifty nine thousand dollars was bid today for a seat on the New York Stock Exchange an advance over the last actual sale cf $9,000. A few weeks ago mem ber- ships were offered at $36,000 and several transfers were made below that figure while the exchange was under enforced closure during the latter part of 1914.
 Trading in stocks today was again in such large volume as to make the movement unusually impressive. Dealings were broader than at any time in recent years, embracing many hitherto dormant issues. The under tone was somewhat confused, how e%er. some of the leaders showing a reactionary tendency.
 Bethlehem Steel was little of fac tor in the early trading, becoming in active after it's initial three point ad- vance.

CHAS. SEYMOUR, OLDEST
 RESIDENT, IS 96 TODAY
Lincoln Street Man Was Born in Sheffield, Eng
 land, in 1919.

Ninety-siX years ago today there was born in the little cutlery town of Sheffield, England, a boy who was destined to live a long life That person, Charles Seymour, is today quietly observing his birthday at his home on Lincoln street. He is, un- douotedly the oldest man in New Britain today, Professor David N. Camp being his junior by something over a year.
 Mir. Seymour made no special ob- servance of the anniversary of his birth, but took great pleasure in, greet ing his friends as they called to con gratulate him upon adding another year to his age. Although ne is hale and hearty and perfectly sound in body, the vcnerabl patriarch can not, owing to foot trouble, walk about streets. However, he moves about the interior of the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth $. Atkin- son, with com parative ease.
 Having settled in this city as early as November, 1855, MT. Seymour bears the distinction of, having seen New Britain grow from a village to a city. For many years he was en- gagged in the boot and shoe business and for a considerable period conduct ed a store at the corner upon which Booths block now stands. He suf- fered severe losses at the time of the big fire there thirty years ago and never attempted to rebuild his busi- ness.
 MT. Seymour's wife died in this city in 1902 MT. and Mrs. Seymour s two children are both living One of them is Mrs. Atkinson and the other is Thomas Seymour, an actor.
 Today is also significant to Ed ward N. Andrews of S2 Winter street, as it marks the passing of seventy five years since his birth.
 MT. Andrews was born April 15, 1S4O. was drafted in 1864 and or dered ito the front" but was finally detailed to serve as chief clerk of the Commissary Department, U. 5. Rendezvous, New Haven. under com rla3d of Colonel A. Cady, U. $. army. MT. Andrews draws a pension, all though he served with a pen instead of a musket.
 In 1868 MT. Andrews became agent of the old Providence and Fishkiil railroad. serving until 1880 when he was appointed chief clerk of Hart ford and Connecticut Valley rail- road.
 Retiring from bha1 company he entered the employ of the New York and Texas Steamship company Nal lCry Lines
