HARTFORD GIVES GREAT WELCOME TO CONN. TROOPS Thousands at Station As First Regiments Gets
 Home From Border. ALL-NIGHT VIGIL
 IS KEPT BY MANY Affecting Scenes as Soldiers / Greet Relatives on
 Detraining.

Hartford, Oct. 12-Thousands of persons, tanning every inch of ground in and around the Union sta- tion. here, gave a mighty welcome this noon to the First Connecticut infantry, returning from fodr months duty at the Mexican border. -
 Business in the city was at 8 stand still while the big demonstration was on. The khaki-clad soldiers were bounced upon by waiting relatives and friends as they detrained at the sta ton, and it was only after many min utes' delay they were formed into marching columns in the streets.
 Mayor Frank A. Hagerty and the civic reception committee were wait ing at the station when the train ar rived. So was the F'irSk Company, Governors Foot Guards-the official escort for the homecoming troops and so were several thousands. of others. Hundreds of folks had stayed up all night to await the soldiers re- turn.
 When the lines were finally formed, the soldiers marched to the armory, where a luncheon was served. An army of workers had labored all night
  There were hundreds of pounds of roast beef and salads. thousands of sandwiches and almost intending quantities of ice cream and coffee.
 Those who had kept an all-night vigil and the thousands who joined them in the early morning were get ting bit discouraged this forenoon. There. had been many false alarms announcing the immediate arrival" of the troops. Finally. the signal came-at 10:38 o'clock. N
 The throng at the south end of the platform saw the colors being waved from the window of a car rounding the bend. In another instant hun dreds of flags answered from the plat form and thousands from the street below as the troops were recognized. The troops detrained on the platform. A readjustmentN of the waiting rela- lives and friends followed, and the Union Station, already packed. was almost swallowed up by the rush.
 The First Company. Governors Footguard, with it's band, waiting only for the signal. left its resting place at the corner of Spruce and Asylum street and moved opposite Bushnell Park, Mayor Frank A. Hagerty and the reception committee, stepping in- to line.
 The troops, almost pushed off the platform by eager friends, fell in, with difficulty, and marched down the plat form to Asylum street.
 It was no easy task to form parade ranks. Mothers and sisters and sweet hearts came before orders. And if some mothers and wives and sweet hearts did not break into the ranks to greet their own, restrained perhaps by timidity, the boys who had been breathing Arizona sand for weeks, took matters in their own hands. They went right into the crowd for their greetings. Some climbed into automo- piles and kissed the whole family.
 The men marched through Ford and Trinity streets and Capitol ave- nue to the state armory where they will be quartered until mustered out The second and third section of the regiment are expected this afternoon.

ADAMS EXPRESS
 TRuNKSLOOTED
 BY CLEVER THIEF $2,000 Worth of Stolen Goods Recovered = For tune in Property Stolen WHOLESALE ROBBERY COVERS YEAR PERIOD Trace Missing Merchandise
 To Boston, New York
 and Pennsylvania.

The baffling and mysterious thefts of jewels and goods, totaling in value thousands of dollars, from trunks and travelling bags, shipped from the main offices of the. Adams Express Co. in this city, Boston, New York and Phil Bridgeport police.
 It was learned today that as a result of the arrest of Leo Gallagher of Bos- ton, in this city, a few days ago by Detectives Dooley and Bray, over $2,- 900 worth. of property belonging to patrons of the express company has already been recovered, and the au- thorities have information which they believe will lead to the restoration of valuables and immense quantities of other properties to the owners.
 For more than a year trunks ship ped by the Adams Express Co.,, have been indiscriminately footed, travel ing bags have been opened and rifled and trunks containing merchandise and jewelry of great value have mys- teriously disappeared.
 All efforts to solve the thefts failed until last week, when a black trunk containing articles valued at $400, was redirected from its owner in Boston to Leo Gallagher, a roomer in East Main street. The local office of the express company had complained to Lieut.. B. O. Cronan, of losses sustain ed. shortly after Gallagher had enter ed their employ.
 Getting on the trail of the black trunk, Detectives Bray and Dooley ar- rested Gallagher. fine appearing young man. of good education. Inves- tigation showed the trunk had been stolen frorh Boston, and that Gallag- her had worked for the Adams Ex- press company in the latter city, New York and Philadelphia.
 Then came to light the extensive thefts from the company covering a period of more than year and the subsequent loss of goods worth a for tune. Gallagher was turned over te, the Boston police for trial, informa- ton wormed from him by the detec- lives leading to the recovery of mer- chandise in New York, Boston and other cities, where Gallagher is believ- ed to have shipped trunks and valu- ables to pals l,
 Dozens of finely manufactured skeleton keys of every size and vari- ety, which would open any style trunk lock or travelling bag. were found in Galiaghers room by Detective Bray and Dooley.
 Gallagher would apply to the ex- press company for a job as porter, al- ways obtaining the position. He would scan the various trunks and picking one he believed to contain the most valuable merchandise or jewelry he would wheel it behind load of other baggage. open it with his skeleton keys and help himself to the contents pur- Fsuing the same method in rifling trav- cling bags.
 If the contents of trunk were ex- ceedingly bulky, he would attach a new tag containing the address of a pal after ripping off the rightful own CTS name, and have the trunk ship ped to his accomplices. It is expect ed that the trail of Gallaghers opera tiAns will lead the police to cities as far south as Philadelphia

sufficient influence with Mr.. Greenlee
to get 12 men jobs at $3.50 per day

this Mr. Greenlee gave all menial
