BURGLARS FAIL AT DAVENPORT
 HOME AT PARK
Night Watchman Discovers Attempt of Cracksmen to
 Effect Entrance

The home of Daniel Davenport, the well known lawyer, at 390 Park place, attorney for the National Anti-Boy- colt association, was entered by bur- glars last night, who were either scared away from their quest or foiled by the removal of jewelry and other valuab4es.
 Discovery of. the attempt upon the residence was made by Special Police man John Lynch, employed as a watchman by those in the vicinity of the Davenport home. It was found that a. window had been drilled close to the catch, so that wire inserted would unlock the sash which had then been raised and entrance effected
 Aided by Patrolrnen Seery and Ny ql1ist, sent from the Third precinct station, Lynch made, a, search of the premises which failed to reveal that anything had been taken, though the family being away from the, city, it has been impossible to ascertain what may have been removed. The window has been properly fastened and the house will remain under police sur veillance until the return of the owner

 ENGLISH WRITER
Nurse Whose Aged Illus band Left Her Millions
 [ Weeds At Hotel Plaza

Mrs. Julia Gertrude Hannah Lyle, hefress to several mil1i ons through the death of her husband. John s. Lyle, whom she met in the practice of professional nursing, again has en- tered the bonds of aRatrimony. Her second husband, Alexander Wenyon Samuel is a lawyer and Journalist. The marriage ceremony was perform ed in her suite at the Hotel Plaza, New York, yesterday, by Monsignor Lavelle, of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Mrs. Samuel is a former resident of Bridgeport and has many relatives here.
 Mrs. Lyle and Mir. Samuel met through a mutual friend, Mrs. s. Stanwood Menken, New York city. Mrs. Lyle, a young woman of much charm, and MT. Samuel are about the same age. They left at once after the ceremony, for Palm Beach. !
 Through extended litigation over the ringing of set of chimes reared to the memory of her husband. the nurse-heiress came into much prom thence. She expended $2O,00O for the memorial erected at Tenaf1y, N. J. The mellow tones of the nnemor- ia1 bells did not carry to nearby resi- dents the same lofty sentiments they brought to the widow, and nefghbors appealed to the courts to still the chimes as a nuisance.
 After long legal battles, a com promise was reached through which the bells are sounded for no more than 30 seconds, morning, noon and night.
 The bride resided in Bridgeport t1n- til few years ago with her brother, Hugh J. Hannon. 564 Washington avenue. The latter conducts a groc- cry store at James street and Harra1 avenue. Through her connection with the Presbyterian hospital, New York city, she was summoned to at tend John s. Ly1e's aged spinster sis ter. The meeting with Lyle even tuated in their marriage. He was a wfdower. The marriage took place at Yonkers, Sept 20, 1910. He died two years later, in his nineties, Ieav- ing a fortune estimated at $2O. Ooo.- GOO.
 The Tenahy chimes. the widows memorial, are installed in a tower and .sibeH ringer is given daily e1n- ployment, in sounding them. A bronze figure in bas relief, of the late merchant and poem paying tribute to his virtues. appear in the tower.
 MT. Lyle was part owner for many years. of the department store ot Lord & Taylor, New York.

Holt has accepted the president of the City Bank of Hartford. He was appointed by Governor Baldwin and his term would have expired June 30, 1917.
 As the state banking department will be without a head after next Tuesday the present situation gives rise to discussion as to the probabili% ty ofstIne department being reorganiz- ed with a single commissioner.

Davidson, of Bethany, secured and ordered to have printed for fur ther consideration his proposed me- moriaI to Congress for constitu- tiona1 amendment to provide for three United States senators from each state although unfavorably reported by the committee on federal relations. Mr. Davidson made short speech in be- half of the change. The civil ser vice bill adopted by the Senate yester- day went into the House.

 EFFECTIVE TONIGHT

London, Feb. 17--At the stroke of midnight the waters surrounding the coasts of the United Kingdom will become so far as lies within the power of Germany to make them war zone which all vessels, neutral or otherwise. will penetrate at their peril.
 Some of the service across the channel probably will be cur1ailed hut a majority of the neutral ship ping lines will accept the risk and continue their sailings. s~ The names and nationality of the vessels and the flass of their nations will be painted cn their sides in the hope that Ger man submarines will not sink them by mistake.
 England's announcement or the us- tai:s of her proposed retaliatory pol icv by which she plans to shut off tn ! German food supply from the outside. is expected momentarily and apparently there 8 not the slightest prospect that this country will ac- caot the German proposal to call 91t tt1e blo ckade and relax naval preS- sure on shipping.
