BIG LIMOUSINE IS WRECK AT NOR WAL K
 MAY BEL ONG HERE

NorwaIk. Jan. 12--A large Fierce- Arrow limousine touring car said to belong to Bridgeport parties. was wrecked near here shortly after there are no witnesses to the accident itself, it is known that the car was occupied by four people, two young men and two young women, one of whom is said to have been hurt seri- sously but was rushed from the scene before her identity could be esta1b- 1ished.
 The car bears the new Connecticut marker No. 222 according to those who visited the scene of the accident today where the handsome car is completely turned upside down and tane body smashed nearly to kindiing wood The spot is a lonely part of the Connectf- cut turnpike just outside of Norwa,1lx. It is believed the occupants were re- turning from g theatre party in New York when the steering gear or some other part of the mechanism gave way. The car ran into an ernba11k- nnent and tl1tned oyers The pccIIpantS are safd to have surnfnSned as taxiSab and drive n'to the home of a physician in the city where one of the young wo- men was attended. They were then sen taking a train from the railroad station at Nonwalk Loungers about the station platform %aid they lived in Bridgeport
 The old automobile license book gives the number 222 as belonging to a Fafmington, Conn. owner, meanwhile the new number as re- ported from the Secretary of States office in Hartford has been issued to William F. IHmer, a Heath her-goods manufacturer of Norwich, Conn. A canvas of the city taxicabs to- day as well as the homes of physi- clans failed to reveal the identity of the youthful occupants of the big car which lay by the roadside at O i late hour this afternoon.

Mr.. and Mrs. Glass believe he was
taught to say it. After two hours
they said Carl was not their Jimmy.
On the way from the house Mrs.
Glass experienced a doubt, and they
returned This time they spent four
hours alone with the boy, stripping
him and examining every mark. Mrs.
Glass says:
He had most every mark Jimmy
had. But. in addition we noticed
that his toes were differently set, he
had scar on his right foot that
Jimmy did not have and there was a
slight birthark under the hair just
behind the right ear. It was this,

THE WAR AND IMMIGRA,
TION

aNEFORE the war about a
Y1 million immigrants came
to this country from Eu-
rope annually. The records up
to June 80, 1915, show that for
the preceding II months 432,-
600 foreigners arrived in the
country.
During the same period ap-
proXimately 100000 persons
went back to Europe, chiefly
to participate in the war.
Therefore the net gain in pop
ulation to this country was
only some $4,000 whereas the
usual gain prior to hostilities
was 20 times that number.
After the war is over the
current of immigration will be
set in motion once more,
Whether the movement will
be as heavy as in the past is a
subject for conjecture. II
may be anticipated many will
seek escape from bloodsoaked
Europe with its war debts.
But on the other hand Eu.
rope will be less crowded thar
in the past and there will be q
vast amount of reconstruction
work to keep the people busy
Therefore it may be some time
before the movement toward
this country resumes its old.
time proportions.

double identity-te resemblance of
another child to her own that even
she was unable for four hours to tell
whether the little boy at Norman,
Okla, was her own child.
NJ. and Mrs. Glass have just re-
turned from Oklahoma, after finally
deciding that the boy Carl" left by
an Indian woman at the home OF
Robert Mellor, was not their miss
ing son
Before the arrival OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Glass in Norman, Mellor barred the
doors Of his house and refused to ad-
NIT any one to see the child saying
that he was afraid he would be
cheated out OF the reward offered for
the return Of the missing lad He
was taken To the home of City Mar
