Bryan in Denial.
Omaha, Neb., Oct. William Jen-
nings Bryan, former secretary OF
state, denied here tonight that there
was any truth in the story that a
postscript had been written to the
Lusitania note, advising the German
government that the strong language
of the note should not be taken seri-
ously. and that later the postscript
was withdrawn.
Il take it for granted" Mr. Bryan
said, that the president will deal
with the matter as he deems wise, If,
indeed, any attention need be paid
after Mr. Breckenridge's denial
Mr.. Bryan would make no further
comment, except to call attention to
the fact that his resignation was not
rendered at the time the first Lusi-
tania note, to which the alleged post.
script was attached, was written, but
at the time the second note was writ

intimation be conveyed to the Ger
man government that proposal for
arbitration would be acceptable, and
one member of the cabinet spoke to
me about it, but it was never discuss

started as soon as the weather will permit so that the road will not be torn up all the summer and part of thc following fall as 1t was on the W Worthlnston ridge for a number of weeks The new road will be made or, concrete the same as that put in on ridge during the past summer and when completed will form one of the best pieces of road in the state. Lo- cal people are hoping that when the work. starts something will be done toward completing the gutters and re- ta1nlng walls on the present stretch of roadway. There is a piece of roadway that extends from Hudson street as far south as the entrance e to the Jarvis property that remains to have this needed improvement. The town appropriated S7OO toward the present road and the state did as much work as possible with this ap- propriation but there will have to be another before the work can be com pleted. At the next town meeting 1t is expected that something will be done by the people of the town to- ward appropriating money for this desired Improvement.

HURRY WORK ON DAM.
When It Is Completed It Will Take
 Another Week to Fill Pond.

All machinery, including the pile driver, has been installed at Scs&nley park preparatory to building the tenn porary dam that will make a skating pond there a reality. Work will be rushed forward and should be finished inside of a week.
 At present the old pond basin IS empty, but as soon as the dam IS com pleted the brook which hoWs through the basin will begin to fill up the pond. City Engineer Hall states that it will probably take about another week for the pond to fill up, although the intention is to have it filled only to a. sufficient depth to provide a good skating surface.

Lay Pavement in Spring.


 Agreeing with considerable reluc- tance to the suggestion of First Select man Johnson, the highway commis- sioner and the officials of the Con- necticut Company have postponed the laying of pavement on Whiting street until spring They had originally planned to extend the amiesite during the winter but on account of the cold weather the selectman believed that the work would be of inferior quality and he suggested that it be put of until April. By that time he thinks the crushed stone used for ballast in the relaying of the trolley tracks will have settled sufficiently to provide a proper base for the pavement.
 The Southern New England Tele- phone company has not yet repaired the pavement on Central Square which was torn up to permit of the laying of conduits for it's wires and be- cause of the cold weather that too may be put off until spring. Brief Items Mrs Thomas Royce, is ill at her home on Maple street. She is suffer- ing from pneum onia. Russell Ma cArthur of New Haven is spending a few days in town with relatives.

Pick Pocket of
 Lawrence J. Gill,
 Revenue Inspector

Leaping from a New Haven train leaving this city at 9:5S o'clock Sat urday morning after it had crossed the roller lift bridge; three men made their escape after having relieved Lawrence J. Gill, special agent or the Internal Revenue department, of his wallet con- taining s97.
 MT. Gill was going to New Haven on important business and boarded the train at the station here. There was a large crowd getting on the train and he did not heed the jostling he got in the crash.
 After taking his seat, MT. Gill mo- ticed the actions of three men and as the train crossed the bridge, one of them gave a signal to the others and the three jumped off the train. Be- coming suspicious. Mir. Gill felt for his wallet but it was among the miss ing. He obtained; a good description of the men and reported the loss to the detective department upon his return to tins city.
 Somewhat similar to MT. Gills loss, is the loss of $9O suffered by Richard Fitzgibbon, inspector for the Bridge port Hydraulic Co.,, who lives at 5S Franklin street He went to New London several days agoi and lost the money, but did not know in what manner.

Alcoholic Poisoning
 Sufferer John Lucia

Recovering consciousness this morn ing, the boy who was found in an alley on Congress rtreet last night, suf- fering with alcoholic poisoning told Surgeons at St. Vincent's hospital to- day that he is John Lucia of 75 Ham ilton street Reports from the hos pital at press hour state that he is resting comfortably. He has not said how he procured whatever caused his illness.
 Several young men walking past the alley leading to the rear of Polls theatre saw Lucia lying on the ground with blood flowing from two cuts on his head. They carried him to the chemical house on Middle street and the ambulancec orps was sum moned. pr. E. W. Paine took the boy to the hospital.
 It is thought that the boy found a bottle of whiskey in the alley and drained the contents. The cuts on his head are believed to have been suffered in falling to the ground when his head struck on the brick wall of the building.

BURGLARS THROW
 . DOG BIG BONE TO !. PREVENT BARKING
With Fido's Curiosity Stifed, Intruders Ransack
 A. F.. Belisle Home.

Feeding the bull dog at the home of Albert E. Belisle at 1000 Laurel avenue a big bone so that he would not bark and disturb the sleeping oc- cupants of the house, intruders Fri day night ransacked the house but only took the silverware that was on the diningroom table. The loss amounted to about $200.
 A screen was cut from a window of one of the rooms on the first floor. After getting in the house, both the front and rear, doors were unlocked so that al hurried exit could be made, should the intruders be detected. After ransacking the house, the burglars gave their attention to the silverware that was in the dining room and took all that they could carry.
 Members of the Belisle family were sleeping on the sleeping porch in the rear of the second floor, directly over the back stoop while the servants were on the upper floor.
 That the work was that of profes- sionals is the belief of the police who say that the job was carefully ar ranged.
 Y When the members of the Belisle family awoke Saturday morning, they saw that the contents of the rooms were upset and going down stairs saw the dog chewing on a big bone. Report of the robbery was made to the Third precinct, station, who turned the complaint over to the detective department.

Stray Bullet Breaks
 Shaving Cup in Hands of North End Boarder

Portuguese negroes holding an inn promptu celebration of the Fourth of July in the rear of 200 North Wash ington avenue about 2 o'clock yes terday afternoon, nearly caused fa- tality when stray bullet from .3S calibre revolver went through one of the windows of the house and after knocking shaving cup from the hand of one of the roomers, grazed the neck of the woman who lives there, and then lodged in the wall.
 A man who boards in the house, had been shaving and was standing near the rear window with the shay ing cup in one hand and the razor in the other. On the side of a bed across the room, his sister was seated with several children. As he was about to apply the razor to his face, the shots rang out and the cup was splintered in many pieces. The bull let had pierced the window, struck the cup and then grazed his sisters neck. It was at first thought that the woman had been wounded but exam inatiop showed the bullet had not in- ficted any serious injury. .,
