GIRL ACCUSED OF
BEING A BURGLAR
Thirteen Year Old Helen Kraker
Suspected of Thefts From Homes
To Go to stMovies."

In thirteen year old Helen Kraker
of 146 Beaver street the police believe
they have a female Raffles who has
been giving them much trouble Of
late and been responsible for several
mysterious burglaries. The lure of
the movies is said, by the police. to
be responsible for her conduct. She
is accused of forcing entrance into
the home Of Tony Jakes of lat Beav-
err street twice asd the police believe
that other operations will be traced
to her as Detective Officer A. J. Rich
ardson has located a number of ar
ticles that are said not to have been
taken from the Beaver street address.
He located a considerable amount of
the material at the home of ten year
old Anna BartuseiWicz of 115 Silver
street. His Investigations indicate that
tho articles were bought from Helen
and it is not believed that the folks
at that address knew they were stol-
en-. The story is that Helen told them
they were given to her. Sufficient
money to meet admission fees to the
"movies" was asked.
Helen's father is said to be in the
old country. She lives with her moth
err Jakes has reported the forcing
of his apartments and Informed the
police that a girl of about fourteen
years was responsible. In several
other mysterious breaks lately the po-
lice have received information that a
girl of the same age was seen about
the vicinity acting somewhat sus-
piciously
Under the grilling of Detective Ser
geant Samuel Bamforth and Detec-
tive Richardson, Helen remained OBJ
stinate for nearly two hours. Suff1-
cient evidence has been secured to
warrant sunmoning Helen to appear
before Police Court Judge James T.
Meskill in chambers tomorrow.

FORFEITS SHARE OF
HUSBANDS ESTATE
Terms of the Will of Morris Levy
So Provided in Case His
Widow iRemarried.

Under the terms Of her first hus-
bands will, Mrs. Joseph Levy, for
merly Mrs. Morris Levy, of 80 Haw-
kins street, will forfeit all rights to
her life use of one-third Of his estate
by her marriage to Joseph Levy,
which was announced in last nights
Herald
Norris Levy, Mrs. Levy's first hus-
band, who died a little over a year
ago, when he made his last will on
May 81, a few months before he died,
specified that if his wife remarked
after his death she would lose her
share Of the estate. The clause in
particular reads as follows:
81 give, devise and bequeath an I'M
divided one-third of all my estate to
my wife to be hers absolutely and
forever so long as she shall remain my
widow, but in case Of her remarriage
and upon the happening of such re-
marriage, I give, devise and bequeath
such undivided one-third to my two
children or to the survivors Of my
said children. ="
Thus, by marrying Joseph Levy on
November IA, Mrs. Levy has for
feited her share of her husbands
estate. Mrs. Levy's second husband
was a cousin of her first husband,
boarded at their home and was en-
ployed as a clerk at the Levine Sample
Shoe store, Of which Mrs. Levy has
been proprietress since her husbands
DEATH
Under the terms Of Morris Levy's
will, his brother, LYMAN J. Levy, was
named as trustee of the estate Of his
two minor children, Stanley and Ed
ward, but Mr.. Levy has resigned this
trust and few days ago, on order Of
the probate court, the New Britain
Trust company was named as trustee
of the children. The Trust company
has already qualified as trustee. Upon
the settlement Of the estate in pro-
bate, Mrs. Levy never appeared to
qualify as trustee for her third
share, nor did she have anyone else
do so.

SPEND MORE THAN $4,000
State Central Committee Spends Over
$4,000 in Recent Campaign-Hart-
ford a Financial Disappointment.

In order that Charles Evans
Hughes, the defeated republican can
djdate for president, should carry
Connecticut on November Z, the re-
publican state central committee ex-
pended $52,539.23. This is the state
ment filed by Chairman j. Henry
Roraback at the Office Of the secre-
tary of state at Hartford.
Receipts amounted to $53,93G.9O.
leaving an unexpended balance of
$1.397.67. A donation Of $4,000
from the republican national commit
tee was the largest single contribu-
ton to the Connecticut campaign.

report from Hartford showed the big
gest expenditure, the total cost of the
unsuccessful campaign in the Capital
City having been SIG, 1914, while the
receipts amounted to only $9,028.12,

STEFANSS0N'S RESCUE
Arctic Explorer Makes Plans For Re
lief Party in Case He Is Unable to
Return Unaided.

Washington, Nov. 23.-In a letter to
Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary, made
public today, Vilhjalmur Stefansson,
commander of the Canadian Arctic
expedition, outlined his plans for OK
plorations for the next two years and
explained what steps should be taken
to rescue him under certain condi-
tons.
"Should nothing be heard of US by
November, 1917" Mr.. Stefansson
wrote, cit is to be presumed that
something beyond our control has de-
layed us. I am Of the opinion that
in the spring of 1913 a ship or ships
should be sent north from tho At
lantic to look for US if we have not
been heard from then.
my best guess is that the Bear
will winter next year on the south
coast of Melville Island but if ice con-
ditions are exceptionally good we may
continue indefinitely farther north. I
have given the government a list of
places at which beacons may be built
and records may be left either IN 1917
or later by u.s.
Mr. Stefansson expressed the hope
that he would be able to approach SO
near MacMillian's farthest coming
from the west, that he could demon
strate the presence or absence of
Croker Land. The letter is dated
Cape Kellett, Banks Island January
II, 1916.

POLICE ON TRAIL
OF CHECK WORKER
Burns Detective Agency Also
Seeking Glue to Missing Merchant
HARRY EDELSON COMPLAINS
Max Nicholson, Until Yesterday Resi-
dent of Berlin, Suspected of Film
Planning Local Man-Goods Hur-
Iied Out of City,

Believed by the police to be M
Nicholson, credited with being one Of
the cleverest bogus check operators in
the East, Max Nicholson, until yes
terday a resident of Berlin who had
practically completed arrangements to
Join New Britain's business world
with a store at 68 Main street, is being
sought by the local authorities and
the William J. Burns Detective
Agency A check for $50, drawn on
the Broadway National Bank of Chel-
sea, Mass, and given to Harry Edel-
son Of 325 Main street, is the specific
cause Of his being sought by New
Britain authorities. If he is the
man sought by the Burns detectives,
it is believed that others may have
been victimized.
1t was about six weeks ago that
Nicholson, described as about 25,
short, stout and of light complexion,
went to Berlin and secured board for
himself and wife. Soon afterwards he
came to New Britain and after look
ing the field over decided to locate a
wholesale and jobbing dry goods
house in New Britain. A store at 68
Main street was leased from w. l..
Hatch. 1t is also reported that he
bought a building lot on East Main
street.
Ede1son Becomes Suspicious
The check was given Ede1son Sat-
urday. 1t came back yesterday with
the tel1-tale mark affixed. Edelson
says that he called up Nicholson who
expressed wonderment, said there
must be some mistake and told Edel-
son to go to the bank again with 1t.
EdeIson felt there was no mistake
and consulted with Detective Sergeant
Samuel Bamforth. The latter visited
Berlin today and found that Michel
son and his wife had disappeared and
no clue could be given as to his
whereabouts with the exception that
five barrels of goods stored in that
place, supposed to have been for the
New Britain store had been hurried
ly taken to the railroad station by
auto truck and shipped to New York
by express. New York authorities
and the Burns people have been com
municated with.
Edelson had hardly left headquar-
ters when communication was re-
ceived from the Burns people giving
notification that banks had inform ed
them M. Nicholson, dangerous check
operator, is reported as being active
in the vicinity of New Britain. Chief
William J. Rawlings imm ediate1y tele-
graphed a description of Max Michel
son and an abstract Of his local con-
nectiOnS.

WASHINGTON INTERESTED
BUT OFFICIALS ARE MUM
Some Cases i'm Which Germany is AL
legged to Have Violated Her Pledge
Believed to Be of Serious Nature
American Affidavits Regarding
Marina Appear Conclusive But U. S.
VIII Await Reply to Inquiry.

Berlin, Tuesday, Nov. 81, by wire
less to the Associated Press via Say
vile, Nov. pa period of compli-
cations may again be impending in
German-American relations. Ger
many's conduct of submarine warfare
has brought forth an abundant crop
of American inquiries, of which Jos.
G. Grew, the American charge, recent
tly has filed no less than ten Five
. of them remain to be answered. in
Guiding the cases of the Marina on
Which a number of Am orleans appear
to have been, killed, and the liner
Arabia, the sinking of which, the
American government declares, ap-
pears to be inconsistent with the
promises of the German governme nt
regarding the treatment of passenger
liners.
The United States bases it's atti-
tude in the case of the Arabian on
the assumption that it was unarmed
and torpedoed without warning, and
is unable to see that there was ade-
equate justification for forcing the pas
ksengers into the boats Washington
believes the submarine commander,
on ascertaining that there were wom-
end and children on the decks, should
have refrained from making an at
tack.
Arabia Had Cannon Mounted.
Germany in the four cases in re-
gard to which replies already have
been made was found to have fairly
convincing answers, which it is be-
lieved may put quite a different as
pect on affairs. 1t is pointed out here,
for example, that according to testi-
mony of her own passengers the Ara
b1a was armed and used her cannon,
that the sea was smooth. and that
other vessels were near. 1t is ar
gued that the Arabia, having on
board large number of collie war
workers, should be regarded as a
transport.

RUSSIAN MINISTER FIRED ON.
Greek Reseryists Assail Train Carry
ing Prince Demidoff.

Paris, Nov. %, 5:25 a. m. The
train on which Prince Demidoff, Rus
sian minister to Athens, was going to
Saloniki, was fired on by bands of re-
servists, according to an Athens de-
spatch to the Petit Parisien.
On the return journey the train
was derailed by a band, the despatch

was hurt in either attempt.
