AS strange as it may appear, there

OF course the republican party
doesn't want to see its friend. the

sary, but it just can't help smiling
over the ruction between the presi-

Indiana democrats have discover

GARLICk GIVES POLICE CLUES IN
 MURDER HUNT Medical Examiner Believes Dismemberment Was Done
 By Skilled Hand. DETECTIVES WORK UP NAUGATUCK VALLEY Hunting For Information as to Mysterious Looking
 Vehicles.

Medical Examiner Samuel M Gar lick has notified the police depart ment that in his opinion the person who dismembered the corpse the torso of which was found buried near Y YeI- low Mill pond. was one thoroughly familiar with the human anatomy or, at least, one used to dismembering an finals.
 He points out that the condition of the torso indicates that the limbs were sawed off below the Joints, an easier method than cutting through the joints; that the head was severed with sure, clean strokes; and that the Acknowledgement in general has the aspect of a professional dissection.
 pr. Garl1ck said that the decapita- ton was done in such a manner as to leave enough. hair at the, back of the neck to show that the woman had dark brown. straight hair. But these clues are meagre at best, and the police are seeking further light on the movements of mysterious ap- bearing vehicles reported to have been in the vicinity Of tn < discovery, sew era1 months ago.
 With Superintendent Birmingham Captain Arnold, and Detectives Hall and Simon actively engaged in tracing every suspicious circumstance in the vicinity of the City Ice and Coal Com pany since last summer, it has been found that two heavily covered bug gies were seen near the spot during the past winter One of these was seen to stop in the nefghborhood of Connecticut avenue and Baldwin St. Three men were occupying it and they made several trips between the buggy and a vacant lot Their movements were so suspicious that notification was sent to the police by resident of the district. When the police arrived they had gone
 Investigation at the time failed to disclose any reason for their actions, and search in all neighboring lots has been made there to-day without trace of any excavations being found.
 But a short time prior to the Con necticut avenue visit by three men, another trio had been observed on Stratford avenue. It was to-day learned from the police records that three men from Derby were then held for investigation They had hired a livery wagon from Thompson's s stables in Derby and drove to this city. Though satisfactory ex- planation was given for their pres ence here at the time, and though they discIatmed ownership of a large .3S cal1bre revolver found in the bug gy, they were released when Chief O'DeH of the Derby police stated thai they bore good regulations in that city
 To-doy Captain George Arnold ac- cempanied by Detective. Hall went to Derby to discuss the matter in further detail with the men, who were to be located by the Derby police.
 Close vigilance is also being made at the City Ice and Coal yard property where special watch has been put or the big steam shovel that no more l sections of the body may pass unob- served into the Yellow Mill pond now being filled.

DOCTOR OF DUPLICITY IN
 SCHUTTE CASE

That Dr. w. s. Douglas of Green wich claims to be engaged to Mrs. An ua R. Schutte, whose conservator he IS, although Mrs. Schutte already has husband, was the startling testimony offered this morning in the civil su- perior court where Mrs. Schutte's ap- peal from the Stamford probate court is being heard.
 Mrs. A. V. Mattern, sister of Mrs. Schutte, made this statem ment. She said Dr. Douglas told her he was en- gagged to Mrs. Schutte. When asked what she thought of pr. Douglas as a eonservator, Mrs. .Mattern said she pre- ferred not to express an opinion. She testified Mrs. Schutte was addicted to excessive use of sintoxicants and for that reason was sent to Dr. Givens' sanitarium in Stamford last year.
 Before Mrs. Mattern testified the principals and lawyers had a confer ence with Judge Shumway to see if an agreement could not be reached but the attempt was not successful. Mrs. Schutte wants the court to revoke tn e order which placed her in charge of. a conservator, but her relatives say she is not competent to manage her own affairs The case is not yet finished.

 For Babies; "Will Deteriorate Values

Thomas Walsh, clerk for the Con- necticut Breweries Go, and other cit Izens called at the city hall today to protest against the 'sbaby farm, '' which Superintendent of Charities Gordon has established in Laurel ave- nue. Among others who object to the asylum are Alderman Mauritz Olson and Lacey R. Blackman. It is claimed that the establishment of the home in that resid entia1 neighborhood will de- teriorate the value of property there. A number of men and women tried to see Mayor wilson to register com plaints with him, but because of the death of his mother the mayor was absent from the city hall
 The home about which the com pIaints are made is ona main tained by the city for dependent or neglected children until the probate court can pass on their cases or until their pa rents can be located and made to sup port them by the charities depart ment The number of these depend ents is so large t1la+ all can not be ac- eommodated at Lakeview home. This home was formerly in Anson street but Superintendent Gordon recently had it mood to the Laurel avenue To- cation.
