WANT GUARANTEE
 FROM GREAT BRITAIN
Marlin Arms Co. and Other Concerns Involved in $6O,OOO, 900 Orders
 From Russia

New Haven, Feb. 9-AccOrdino tc New York advices. the Marlin Arr,s company, of this city, which has been awarded large part of the order for the Russian government of 33 oOO rapld-hre guns, making a total of about 3O,OO0,00O has joined with the other concerns mentioned in demand Ing that the order be secured by the brltlSh government The New York commercial prints the following:
 General Robert Elleshaw. Great Br1taln,S representative on the Rus slan imperial commission. which has been Tn this country for the purpose of closing contracts for guns and ammunition, sailed Thursday for England for the purpose of obtaining ratification of the British guarantee of some $60,OOO.OOO of Russian or ders. The guarantees have been de- manded by many of the concerns which have accepted orders from the Russian board.
 'The principal contracts on which General Elleshaw is expected to ob- tain confirmation of the British gov crnment's guarantee are those for 33, 900 raid fire guns which have been divided among the Savage, Colt, Marlin and Maxim companies, and the 100000 shells, half high eXplo- sive and half shrapnel, placed at the same time the gun orders were ten tatiVely approved. The guns were placed at about $95O each, making d total around $3O,O0O,OOO, while the shells call for about $2O,OOO,O0O.
 'The original proposal of the Rus sian board was to pay for the SUD- plies with notes of the imperial Rus sian government, but this was de- clined, the companies asking cash against documents. This did not meet with the ability of the com mission and another proposal was made to have the British government guarantee the payment of the notes The companies endeaVored to have the British government assume the contracts outright. This was not ac- ceded to by the Russian commission. but proposal to have the British government guarantee cash payment | for the supplies was accepted. Gen. eral Elleshaw was then added to the commission, and the preliminarie,s having been closed, he has gone l abroad to obtain the formal guaran- 1 tee"

Board Of Directors Will Discuss
 PlainVille's Housing Problem
WEAK CLUE, IN BABY CASE
Coroner and Medical Examiner See Little Prospect Of A Conviction- Death of Mrs. Fuchs-P1ainviIles Oldest CongregatiOnalist Buried.

Directors of the Business and Inn provement association received notice from Secretary F. l.. Benzon this morning of a meeting to be held to- morrow night in the New Britain club It is the regular session of the board. scheduled for last Thursday night but postponed for a week owing to the absence from te$Vn of several of the members.
 The board has several important matters to considerand it is expected they will be gone into thoroughly at tomorrow nights gathering.
 Chief among the problems confront ing them is the housing conditions in Plainville The scarcity of vacant tenements and the predicted lack of homes for people who will find em- ployment here within the next two years if the plans of manufacturers develop as expected is causing leading citizens some concern and the Busi- ness Mems association is working for a solution of the problem.
 While prominent membe have dis cussed the proposition informally they have arrived at no conclusion. The idea of organizing a realty company to arrange for the erection of homes seems to find general favor and it may eventually be adopted. It is be- lieved that there are enough men in town sufficiently public spirited to in vest in such company without ask ing to large a return for their money. The situation is in no wise serious at this time but the possibilities are ad- mittedly big and the sooner the con- gestiOn is anticipated and provided for the better off the town will be.
 One New Britain real estate man has announced his intention of de- velOping property here this spring and he expects there will be an unprece- dented building boom in Plainville be- fore the summer is over. Other land dealers have been here in considera ble bers during the past few years looking over the various properties suitable for development as building lots and negotiations for some sales are in progress.
 The matter of arranging for the annual banquet of the association will also be considered at the meeting to- morrow night and it is likely that a committee will be appointed to make the preparations necessary. The af- fair will probably be held in March, the date to depend largely on the wishes of the men who will be in vited to deliver speeches.
 Evidence Is FlimSy.
 After a conference with Coroner Calhoun of Hartford, Medical Exam iner c. W. Moody has decided against any special activity on the part of the authorities in connection with the in vestigation of the finding of the dead body of an abandoned infant in the woods near Sunset Rock last Sunday.
