Kirkby's Story About
 Missing Auto Doesn't ;.
 Satisfy Judge Wilder

Judge Frank L.. Wilder in city court stoday was not convinced that Clarefice .KIrkby, 22 years old, of 762 Second place, Brooklyn. N. Y, had procured an automobile at the Jen- nings' garage at Greens Farms at the request of the owner, William Smyth of S9 Liberty street, Brooklyn. and the case of Tirkby, charged with the theft of the automobile, was contin- ued until tomorrow morning and bonds were fixed at $500,
 Kirkby is a chauffeur employed by Snyth and he says he was sent to the garage at Greens Farms by the own CT of the machine and that he was to take it to Brooklyn, A long time ago Smyth reported the car as being stolen and efforts are being made to locate him in Long Island City. where he is fulfilling a contract, Smyth probably will appear in city court to- morrow morning.
 Kirkby is relative of the pro prietor of the garage at Greens Farms and has resided in this city nearly all his life. He spends the summer time at Fairfield beach and is we'll known about the shore fronts,

COLLEGE BOYS TO
 TRY THEIR HANDS ON REAL FARMS
Agricultural School Trus- tees will Put Pupils To
 Working Gardens.

The board of trustees of the Con- Aectfcut Agricultural college, at a meeting held yesterday afternoon voted to make use of the farm in ito the state number of years ago ! by the late Edwin Gilbert of that place, by establishing there an agri- cu16ural school, one of the sfuncations ! Of which will be to prepare students sfcw the agricultural college at. Storrs.
 gShe new school will place emphasis kTRCn actual farm work as distinct
 ennm agricultural education f The board has learned that many tstudents who enter the college, es-
 DecdaIly the new group of young men from the cities who have become inn bued with the sfback-t -the-farrra'' E1dea. are seriously handicapped by un- efarndnarity with the everyday knovvl- edge that every farmer boy has They are unable, some of them, to dfstin- Eu4sh between simple farming innple- uuentA, plants and animals that the cOuntry-raised youth has known since childhood and are unable to do the simple manual labor that is necessary in the experimental side of their stud 1ew- These students fail to keep pace
 with others until they have been put through a long period of instruction lin such things as the proper use Of a lhoe- or the difference between e11ir,ea. shen and chicken.
 One of the uses to which the new
 Bchoo1 will be put will be to train city tycuths in actual farm work and the EGD11eEe may later decide as it has
 already contemplated doing, to re- qu1res all students who have not had experience in farm work to take a EDreparatory course at this college. no kmatter how good thelr preparation
 may have been in botany, zoology or. Kindred subjects.
 Together with this, the farm school win give farm boys an opportunity to take shorter and simpler courses than are offered at the college and will, 1t | gs expected, act as t'feeder'' to the more advanced institution, athought : students will be admitted to the new apheoI who have no intention of con- fG1nuing their studies.
 The farm. which Is a large one con esetlng of So acres of cleared land and about as much more unc1eared, was 8I644 to the state for the purpoge of &pvUvIdfng g. place for agricultural fn- kDtpuokIOn, especially along the line of cattle breeding. A trust fund for it's EaaErtenanee was also left the state by Mr. Gilbert. There are m number of barns and ofher buildings on the farm.
 The property has been maintained in past years as model farm. but this plan has been abandoned and the trust
 fund has been allowed to aecuTnu1aAe,
 SC that 1t is thought large enough for
 khesinauguFatien of the new plan.

COMPULSION BILL UNDER FIRE FROM
 UNIONISTS' HEAD

Bristol, England, Jan. 26-The representatives of more than 10000 members of trade unions met here to- day to decide the attitude of organized labor toward the war and. in particu- lar, on the subject of compulsory mil itary service. Early in the proceed ings an attack on the Compulsory ser vice bill now before the House of Lords was made by the president of the conference, William c. Anderson, member Of Parliament for the Alter cliffe division of Sheffield.
 MT. Anderson, who has opposed the bill in Parliament, declared that it did not redeem the pledge of Premier Asquith regarding compulsion.
 ''No form of words can offer i'm munity from danger he said. trWe cannot have forced military service without the risk of forced industrial service. Any attempt to use this weapon to coerce trades unionists will lead to great bitterness and end in failure"

STOCK MARKET

New York Jan. 26-Opening: Stocks were almost tbuoyant at to- days opening in recognition of the United States Steel common dividend and that corporation's record break ing earnings. Steel opened With one lot of 15,0OO shares at ss to s5 g.. compared with yesterdays closing price of s4h. Gains of l to 2 points were made by numerous other indus trials and specialties, including American Smelting, Crucible Steel Republic Iron and Steel, New York Airbrake, Westinghouse, Baldwin and American Locomotive. and Mexican Petroleum.
 Noon-Bu1Iish enthusiasm was somewhat dampened later by recur- rent heaviness in investment shares. Leading rails were depressed mater ially under yesterdays final quota tions, presumably as a result of more foreign liquidation. Steel yielded the greater part of it's gain at s4 7-s and other industrials and various special ties reflected additional realizing and bear pressure.
