25,OOO MARCH
 IN PARADE FOR
 PREPAREDNESS
Hartford Is Thronged To day for Pageant That
 Sets New Record.

Hartford, June 3-Hartford turned out in force for it's preparedness parade this afternoon.
 On only two other previous occa- sions, according to the old timers, has there been anything to approach either in the number of men in the parade, or the crowds, one being a, recent Flag Day celebration and the other the Sound Money parade of 1896. According to close estimates from the general committees head quarters early today, the parade would include 25, 1000 men and women. Hundreds of the latter were enrolled from in town and out.
 Marshal James L. Howard and Sec retary Walter Patterson said they would not be surprised if the figure was larger than that.
 The city began to get into it's gala attire yesterday. Buildings blossom ed out in the stars and stripes. Main street particularly is a blaze of red, white and blue. It is noticeable that but little bunting is used, flags being dominant.
 The New Haven road had a number of special trains on it's several lines and extra, coaches attached to nearly every regular. One special brought 1000 or more operatives from the Cheney mills in South Manchester.
  New Britain. The suburban trolley lines began to discharge their thou sands at city hall square early in the day and at noon and later the place was almost choked with visitors. Special cars were run ct frequent in- tervals on most of these lines we'll as on those within the city. At 2:30 all traffic on the streets given over to the line of march was stopped and i'm in hU were forced to turn back, wait for hours or walk into the center.
 A feature of the parade was the de- tachment of 257 officers, sailors, ma rines and band from the U. s. S Utah. Theb attleship was anchored off New Haven over night and the men came to Hartford by special train, the city paying all expenses The train arrived this afternoon and the tackles and marines were hustled to a hotel for lunch while the officers of the Utah were entertained at the Hartford club. The special is sched- uled to take them back to New Ha- ven at 5:15. There are IA officers with them.
 From Il to 12 o'clock there was a reception for Governor Ho1comb, other state officers. Congressman, mayors ct other cities and other distinguished guests in the municipal building. Badges were given them.
 The city gave a luncheon for this party at the Hartford club prior to the parade and a buffet luncheon will be served after tn demonstration.
 With the parade starting at 3 o'clock it is estimated by the marshal that the last division will not have passed the reviewing stand until 6 o'clock or later. It is also estimated that the length of the line would stretch seven miles, although the line of march is scarcely a third that dis tance. The head of the procession will long since have disbanded before the rear gets started.

Bridgeporter Invents
 Ingenious Lock Nut

William J.

McMichael is employed by the Rem ington Arms & Ammunition Co.
 The nut is simple bolt-nut into which has been sunk a spring lock pin which projects at an angle with the bolt thread and is capable of withstanding pressure of vibration while it may be applied or removed by simple wrench. Heretofore lock- nuts have been of the double variety or made fast by 1ynch-pin and a boring in the bolt. The simplicity of the device is said to contain it's full merit Patent No. 1,118,115 was is sued to McMichae1 on May 30.

CORONER WARNS LAWYER NOT TO
 PREJUDICE BOY
Important Witness of Lum- Der Lot Fatality Will
 Be Heard Monday.

Coroner John J. Phelan today for bade Attorney Harry A. Go1dstein to talk to a boy witness until he had heard his story first. The witness in question is Fred Jacoby of Carroll avenue, aged g years, who, it is claim ed, saw the lumber pile fall Thursday night, crushing to death six-year-old d Dorothy Morgan of APO Carroll avenue and fracturing the skull of Herbert Broutz, g years, of 459 Carroll ave- nue. The lumber was to be used for a building which is being erected at Stratford and Carroll avenues for Mrs. Fannie Rome, 442 Carroll avenue.
 The Jacoby boy, it is alleged, saw the lumber fall and in fact, it is said, that another pile of lumber fell on him the day before, injuring his leg Mrs Bertha Broutz, mother or the boy crushed under the lumber, told the coroner the Jacoby boy had seen the pile fall on the children Attor- ney Goldstein, representing SofarreLe & Christina, the contractors erecting the building, engaged through Mrs. Rroutz to have the boy at his office in the Newf1eld building Monday morning. The hearing was continued until 3 o'clock Monday afternoon
 After Attorney Goldsteln had 1eft the coroner's office that official hur- riedIy called him back and said:
 Look here, MT. Go1dstein, I don't want that boy to make a statement to you until he makes one to me first
 t"rhat's all right your honor," said Attorney GoIdstein, 'tI merely wanted to find out if he could tell anything about the matter so that he would not take up your time and mine"
 'sWell, you may do that" re1oined the coroner, 'fbut you must not take a direct statement from him until have talked with him.
 Attorney Goldstein agreed and it was arranged that the Jacoby boy shall visit his office Monday.
 John F. Murphy of 1858 Stratford avenue told the coroner that the chill dren were "tetering'' on the top of the heavy yellow pine blanks. The pile was as high as 8 mans chest and each plank was 20 feet long, inches thick He also said they had dug out sand on the edge of the blanks near where the pile collapsed.
 Mrs. Annie Peck of 446 Carroll avenue, corroborated this statement and told the coroner that only a few minutes before the pile collapsed she had called to the children and warn ed them to come away. She said the children paid no attention to. her. It is the contention of the parents of the children that the lumber was not piled properly. Michael Sofa relic and Pasquale Christina, the contractors, testified that the lumber was piled properly and that they had moved a. pile of smaller lumber be cause they could not keep the children from playing about it and they were afraid they would be injured
