FURNITURE co. MAKES
 GOOD CLEANUP HERE
Bridgeport Concern Had Upwards of 400 Local Participants in
 Premium Scheme.

Notary Public Walter Sanderson, of Al Main street, has during the past week filed Ill claims flor local people who were stung by the now bankrupt Grand Rapids Furniture & Supply corporation of Bridgeport Between 400 and 500 local people were roped in by this concern and MT. Sanderson estimates that the to- tai amount involved in the scheme in this city was between S6,000 and $7,jOO, as most of his claims have been for upwards of S15.
 One local woman was induced to get her friends interested in the club and for each five members she secured she was to receive an extra profit-sharing premium certificate. When the firm went under she had eight certificates, having brought in forty new custome mers for the concern. Unless all claims are presented and approved by the referee in bank ruptcy no club or contract holder will participate in the bankruptcy dividends.

WINDSOR QUESTIONS
 RHODES VERACITY
Authorities Claim Soldier Was Exposed As Fal<ir
 There in 1911

The town of Windsor is greatly agi- tated about the veracity of one AL fred Field Rhodes, who passed through New Britain this week on his wav to Windsor where he expects to find his wife and son. He told thrilling story of being survivor of a massacre in the Philippines and of being imprisoned for killing a Fili pinO general. The s Ory published in the Herald was verified by Spanish war veterans as to the facts of the massacre and all those who talked with Rhodes in this ity were con- vinced of his sincerity The wounds on his body alone were sufficient to give him hearing.
 Among the residents of Windsor who are convinced of his sincerity are Walter H. Paine of Hartford, sent by Charles l.. Burdett Camp Spanish American War Veterans, to 1 investigate the case, and Rev. Will liam B. Cary, now chaplain of the state prison in Wethersf1eld and member of the board of relief at Windsor, who of1iciated at the fun-
 eral of Dr. Harry Griswold, of Weth- ersfield who was killed in the mas sacre of which Rhodes was sur Vivor.
 The charge that Rhodes is a pre- varicator comes from Springfield, Mass. where it is said that he ap- peared there in 1911 with a similar story and at that time said his wife and son were in Suffield. It is claimed that the war department ap-
 pealed to for verification, pronounced the story an unqualified fake. Re- cords were said to have showed that Rhodes had indeed served for time in the army but that San Francisco was the nearest he ever got to the ! PhiliDDineS

ROBERT AITKEN AT WORK IN HIS STUDIO

That the Burritt Memorial com mittee made no mistake in selecting Robert Aitken, N. A., as the designer of the Peace Monument which will be located on Franklin Square park is shown by new honors won by the sculptor, it being announced in New York that he has been awarded the medal for sculpture by the Architec- tural League of New York.
 The medal for sculpture, the only medal awarded this year, was be- slowed upon MT. Aiken for his "Foun- tain of the Earth" which he designed for the Court of the Universe at the Panama-Pacific exposition. The theme is philosophical, the main groups carrying out the idea of the prog ress of the human race through nat ural selection of men and women. One of the groups, The Lessons of Life,'

shows a perfect woman choosing IS her mate a perfect man, while on either side are the rejected. Another Natural Selection," shows two women turning to the same man, while on either side are less perfect men, one resentful, the other grief stricken Still another is Survival of the Fit test" showing two men in a strug- gle for the possession of a desired woman. All of the figures are nudes. At the four corners are archaic images of Hermes.
 News of MT. Aitken's success is pleasing to the member of the Bur ritt MemOri committee. They secured the four corners of the coun- try for the very best sculptor and the word from New York of his new honors is convincing testimony that they made no mistake in selecting him.

Several youngsters who were de- tected at o'clock yesterday afternoon standing in a loaded coal car belonging to the w. l..

Later a call was sent in to the police.

MAY RETURN AQU|TAN|A
 TO MERCHANT SERVICE
Giant Liner White Elephant on
 British Admira|ty's Hands.

Correspondence of the Associated Prcss)
 Liverpool, Tuesday, Feb. 16.-Fully repaired and with steam up, the Cunarder Aquitania is lying at the Gladstone docks here ready for the sea. Her future is kept a close secret, but the fact that many of her fittings nave been restored leads to the general belief that/she is about to be restored to the merchant service by the admiralty, which has found the giant liner somewhat of a white elephant on it's hands.
 At the outbreak of the war the ad- miralty took the Aquitania with the idea of using her for a transport, and when the impossibility of taking her into any of the continental ports where troops were being landed was realized, it was determined to trans for her into a collier.
 Indignity Never Forgiven.
 This indignity to the big steamship has never been forgiven by the people of Liverpool, who never fail to relate with much heat how the rich fittings were ripped out of the vessel The work was done with axes and the dock was filtered with the scraps of the beautiful pannels and costly copies of famous paintings which made the ship the last word in the art of decorating transatlantic liners.
 Hardly had the Aquitania begun her prosaic task of supply the British navy with coal when she ran down a much smaller liner, which, by what seemed a miracle, stayed af1oat, but which afforded enough resistance to smash and curl back the bow of the Cunarder for a distance of fifty feet. The Aquitania lowered so high above the other ship that the upper part of the bow was untouched and hung above the wrecked portion like a bal cOny.
 Ready for Service
 Repairs have been under way ever since and the ship is now ready for service. The vessel is closely guard ed, but a corresponden ent was permit ted to pass the sentries this week, and, although not allowed to go on board, from an exterior view he satis- fled himself that the vessel was not again to be used as collier. She is stil wearing her war paint, and be- sides the guard of soldiers on the dock,- she is protected on the water side by a converted destroyer.

DISAPPEARANCE OF
 MISS COOK UNSOLVED
New Haven Girl Missing Since Thurs day-Eactory EmpIoycs, Police and
 Boy Scouts Searching for Her.

New Haven, Feb. 27.--The dis appearance of Lillian Cook, clerk for a manufacturing concern in Dixwell avenue, reported to the police yester- day, was unsolved today, Employes of the factory, police and Boy scouts today are searching the country around West Rock upon the theory that Miss Cook has wandered away while suffering from meiancholia, or had gone to the Rock and killed her self
 Miss Cook came to this city from Brooklyn, N. Y, a year ago. She had been rooming at the Young Women's Christian Association, but had not made many acquaintances owing to her reserved disposition. On Thursday Miss Cook went to her place of employment as usual When she did not return in the evening her room mate opened an envelope which was found on the table. The note enclosed was addressed to Miss Cooks mother and contained $35.
 At the factory if is stated that a fe- volver which had been kept in a desk drawer was missing. Miss Cook on several occasions, according to fellow employees, placed the revolver to her throat but they took this to be only playful act.
