of Carroll avenue, East End, and this morning the purse with all the money was returned to her after she had fully identified it. Mrs. Jeff tells a rather singular story concerning the way the thief operated, and the most remarkable part of the theft is that it was committed while many persons were around.
 She said she was walking along the platform when she noticed a man coming towards her carrying his coat across his arm. After he had passed her she turned and saw that he was putting on his coat. More from in stinct than anything else she felt for her pocketbook and found it was miss ing. She made up her mind the stranger was the thieH and hurrying along the platform after him she shouted "stop thief The pickpocket said she was crazy and not to mind. her. Mrs Jeff again seized him and the pickpocket dropping the wallet lodged through the crowd and made his escape.
 thief drop the purse was Jack Gordon He reported the matter to the police. An old colored man living in the East End found the wallet and he went home with it. As he did not return it to the owner Special Policeman Leonard brought him to police head quarters. There was a. little over $17 in the wallet. The coIored man said he did not return the wallet to the po- lice as he was awaiting an account of the loss in the newspapers. Evident 1y he does not read the papers.

HAVANA PRISON TO
 BE MODEL PLACE
Better Than Sing Sing Says Cu- ban Warden.

New Ork, May 12.-Sing Sings old, unsanitary and crowded buildings are to be put to shame by Havanas new prison, according to Col Andres Her nandez Aguirre, warden of three pris- ons in Havana, who is here to study the best methods of prison construc- ton and maintenance. Plans have been completed, said Col. Aguirre for a new prison in Havana which will house, in separate divisions, the pris- oners at present confined in the Ha- vana City Prison, the General Prison for Women and the Havana Province
 Jail. Beginning building operations depends only upon the consent of the Cuban legislature and Col. Aguirre be- Iieves the necessary organization will be given early in June.
 Commenting upon prison conditions in Havana and in Cuba generally, Col. Aguirre said the prisons were not over-crowded as Sing Sing has been at times and is at present, nor was sani- tation bad, but the buildings were very old. In some cases, he said, it had been necessary to shore up the walls with beams in order to prevent col lapse of the prison building.
 Col Aguirre has been at the head of the prisons in Havana for sixteen
 years. having been appointed by Gen eraI Wood during his term as military governor of Cuba
 When I first took charge of the prisonE,'' said Col. Aguirre, they were in the utmost disorder. It was not possible for visitor to them to wear
 a stick pin or any other jewelry as he would surely be robbed before 1eav- | ing. Great sternnesS was necessary at first in order to obtain some sem l blance of discipline. But in sixteen
 years, by much labor. it has been pos sibla to change conditions nightly. ! and ct present I go about in the pris-

NOLAN IS NOT HERE.

7 Yesterday afternoon Policeman Lee. of New Britain came to this city for the purpose of running down a rumor to the effect, that Patrick Nolan of that place, who is wanted for causing the death of Pugi1ist Houlihan. was in hiding in this city. The report was that Nolan, after learning of the probable death of his adversary, came herd.
 A wrong impression has gone abroad that Nolan was trained by Ike Williams for his mill with the dead man. Nolan was after Williams to handle him, but. the latter declined for reasons best known to himself. Ike did not attend the fight and knew nothing of the result until he read the account in the papers. He was not acquainted with either man and new CT met Nolan until the latter, a per feet stranger, came here and tried to secure the services of the Bridgeport boxer to look after his interests The coroner and medical examiner say that the deceased died from the beat ing he received.

on unarmed and unaccompanied.'
 Col. Aguirre has been in this coun- try before and on previous occasions he met Katharine B. Davis, then Com missioner of Correction, who made it possible for him to visit more than twenty prisons, reformatories and cor rectiona1 institutions. During those visits he studied American prison con Struction and methods
 He also was a member of a Cuban commission appointed to receive an American delegation six years ago, which examined prisons in Havana and made recommendations for new buildings. It was partly as result of the visit of the American conmis- sion that the new Havana prison was planned.
 It is to be modern in every way, and the cost of construction will be reduced to a minimum by selecting a site near which the building materials can be found. Furthermore, the prisoners will do most of the actual labor in erecting the new structure said Col. Aguirre. At present, convicts in Gu ban prisons make their own clothes, and in addition are put to work on Government military roads
 Colonel Aguirre said he had read of Thomas Mott Osborne's work at Sing Sing, and intended to visit that prison and meet MT. Osborne He is inter ested in the education of convicts, and
 
 prisons with religious instruction. First offenders are separated from hardened criminals, and every effort is made to prevent those who are sen fenced for the first time from becom- ing discouraged and hopeless.
 The Cuban Administration was much interested in the new plan, said Colonel Aguirre, and also in two new hospitals which are being built in Ha- vana.
 He told also of the interest which Cuba is experiencing in foreign affairs, and the confidence of his country in the United States in the present crisis. In general, he said, sentiment in Gu ba was pro-AIIy.
 Colonel Aguirre intends to remain in this country until the end of the month. He plans to see Mayor Mitch e1, whom he met on his last visit; Miss l Davis, MT. Osborne and others inter ested in prison administration and re- form

 Auto Accidents.
 An automobile operated by Frank P. Doran of Greenwich, hit Wm. Daley of Stamford Saturday night, fractured his skull in two places, badly frac- turing one leg, and tore the other leg and a hand. Daley is in the Stam- ford hospital, with an even chance to recover, if internal injuries do not de- velop. Apparently Dailey was hit with the right mud guard of the au- tomobile. The mudguard was badly bent.
 Miss Julia A. CIaven of Norwalk was struck in the back and thrown through the fence Thursday after noon, when a jitney driven by Israel Rosenweig of Stamford, slzidded and went through a fence.

Miss CIaven was picked up by the flying automobile and thrown through the fence.

charging Alphuez with unlawfully and
feloniously taking his daughter away.
He charged the girl with being incnr-
rigible. Warrants were issued by
Squire W!ckham and placed in tho
hands Of the police. with the result
that their search for the missing cou-
