BURGLARS BREAK IN TWO DWELLINGS AS
 OWNERS 60 AWAY
Home of Leo C. Lyon Is Visited But Thieves Coming Was
 Anticipated.

While folks were spending their Thanksgiving holiday at homes, of rel .atfves and friends, burglars took ad- vantage of the occasion and Bridge port experienced two daylight breaks yesterday.
 Burglars yesterday afternoon ran sacked and robbed the house of Leo c. Lyon of 254 Courtland street. Mrs. Leo c. Lyon, wife of the president of the Lyon & Grumman company, had a premonition that burglars would visit-her home. MT. and Mrs. Lyon left their home at ? o'clock in the af- aternoon to visit friends The maid was also gone There was no one in the house.
 Between 2 and z o'clock last even- ing burglars entered the house. They had plenty of time and they ransacked loot consisted of a large quantity of siIverware and jewelry. A wallet con-. taining $25 in bills was also taken.
 MT. and Mrs. Lyon returned home about in the evening and one glance at the surroundings was sufficient to inform them that burglars had been there. A telephone call was sent to police headquarters. Every room on the second floor was ransacked, ward robe disarranged and some clothing was taken. The silverware in the din- ing room was all taken. Mrs. Lyon S
 
 posit vault by her husband at her re- quest as she had 8 premonition of the burglary.
 When the search was being made at the Lyon home, Police Commissioner Lou P. Bristol teIephoned police head quarters. that there was a light burn ing on the second floor of Judge Edx ward P. Nobbs' house at 763 Park ave- nue. Police surrounded the Nobbs home and a squad then entered Eve erything all right at this home with the exception of the electric light being turned on. How this occurred is a mystery as the Nobbs family had been gone. about three days. Policeman J. P. Cough1in teIephoned about this time that the door of the F. E. Beach store at 952 Main street was open. It is believed that an ern- ploye forgot to lock the door.
 Shortly after, Policeman J. A. Burns telephoned that the door of the Salt man Bros at 488 Water street was un- locked. The police believ. it was an other case of an emp1oye forgetting to lock the door.
 Between and o'clock burglars en- chard at 859 Main street. A small quantity of sx-velry was taken from this place.
 James Dacey of 45s State street re- ported to Detective Sergeant Peter Hall that his pockets had been rifed of $10 while he was sitting in a Can non street store.
 Henry E.. Bfshor, the undertaken. brought a green and black blanket to headquarters. He found it near his establishment on Fairfield avenue. The blanket was the one stolen from A L. Schavoir,s automobile on Harrison street, near Elm.

terprising publishers distribute them to every music store in the land, and Within week all the picture the atres, minstrel and burlesque shows are trying them out. In another week they have been heard by many mill Hons Of people, and their infectious melodies are heard on every street.
 Unfortunately there transient com positions take the place of the fine old songs that everyone used to know The crowd that used to get together on doorsteps and sing ''Swanee River and 'tBen Bolt' have long ago lost their voices The young folks Ensw not the words and scarcely the aTrs o- these classics. Nothing that s more than three months old is up to their pace, and the market for the songs Of this type seems illimitable. It must be admitted that they have 3 very catchy snap.

I.oan Nfonex to state.

A town meeting in New Milford held to discuss the advisabiIity of lending to the state highway department S6,- 900 to help hasten the work on the Bridg dgewater road, has voted to lend the money to MT. Bennett, and he has promised that the work will be be- gun at once. The state highway de- partnent has used all it's available funds for highway work, but in such circumstances is permitted to borrow from towns and prosecute needed road construction Of this $S,OOo $6,0OO will be returned to the town by the next legislature. The $8,000 will not complete the road to Bridgewater but will build perhaps one-haf of it, beginning at the Bridgewater town line and coming towards New Milford The remainder of the road will be built later. As this is a. trunk line the entire care will devolve upon the highway department.

HAVE PATIENCE AND I'LL GIVE SERVICE
 SAYS PUNDERFORD
Connecticut Co. Hampered by Failure of Shipments to |
 Arrive Here.

A meeting of protest at the crowded conditions of the late car from Bridge port to Walnut Beach and Milford was held on board a running car early Wednesday morning, after many pas- Sengers had to be left behind at the Union Metallic Cartridge Go. on Bar- mum avenue. It was decided to peti- ton the officials of the Connecticut Go. by postal for increased number of cars.
 In speaking of Bridgeport transport .ation conditions, General Manager J. K. Punderford told Farmer reporter Tuesday,:
 T expect much protest from Bridge port as the colder weather sets in, and we will do our@ best to accommodate the public. The Connecticut Go. is not alone responsible for short car service handicapped by lack of car deliveries over the railroads.
 We had expected delivery of the new an-steel pay-as-you-enter cars some six weeks ago. Some of these are now coming into New Haven where we are repainting and equip ping them with trucks and controllers but the railroads do not seem to be able to deliver them. Strikes at Schenectady and the shortage If brass due to war conditions have also de- layed much needed parts
 None could foresee the~ enormous growth of New England and while it is true that we are caught with great ear shortage, we are taking cars from other cities for. New Haven, Wa terbury and Bridgeport and will send as many to Bridgeport as it is possi ble to do. In the meantime we must ask the public to be as charitable as pos sible under unforeseen circumstances and enormous growth"

LARGEST "C0P"
 SUSPECTED OF
 DOUBLE KILLING

st. Louis. Nov. 26-In William Street, assistant. chief of police of Madison, H.; known as the biggest policeman in Illinois, rests today the police believe, the power to clear up the mystery of the death of his7 es- tranged wife, Mrs. Catherine A. Street. and Patro1nan Charles F-s Barmeir, of the St. Louis police department, whose bodies were found in an alley here last night. each shot through the heart.
 Street. with a bullet wound in the right leg. was arrested a few hours after the shooting, but denied shoot ing either his wife or Barmeir.
 According to a bartender and oth- CTS, Street had quslrreledA with his wife in a wine room near the scene of the shooting and within a block of Mrs. Streets home. From the wine room, according to witnesses. Street took his wife into an alley. Patrolman Barmeir followed them and just as the trio were out of sight five shots were heard
 s.3 When several men rushed to the alley they found the bodies of Bar nleir and Mrs Street within a few feet of each other. By the side of the pos liceman was his revolver with two found a revolver with one chamber empty, but this, he pointed out, was a precautionary measure adopted by many policemen to prevent explosion of the weapon should it fall. His re- vo1ver bore no powder marks and, ac- cording to the police, seemed not to have been fired recently.
 Street said that while he was talk ing to his wife in the alley someone called out, Now, I've got you," and fired, one bullet hitting him and another his wife. Street said he ran without returning the fire.
 Street is six feet five inches in height and weighs more than 300 pounds.
