MISSING SINGER
  SOUGHT IN MANY CITIES OF STATE
W. H. Higgins Prominent in Amateur Theatricals,
 Disappears.

William H. Higgins, prominent in the Knights of Columbus, and widely known as a singer and amateur min stre1, has disappeared from this city. Relatives and friends are making an extensive search for him.
 Higgins, who is assistant foreman at the Nadgatuck freight docks under Nestor B. Wedge, freight agent of the New England Steamship Co.,, was last seen at about o'clock Friday morn ing, March 10. He left the dock in company with a number of his fellow workers and ate breakfast at the Star Lunch Room, State and Broad streets. He expressed his intention of return ing immediately to his home. He has not been seen since.
 His mother, Agnes M, widow of William H. Higgins, a former baker of this city, is distracted. One sis ter has devoted her entire time to seeking a trace of the missing man.
 While of abstemious habits, it was first thought that he might have be- come involved in some gay party that had taken him from the city. As this theory was exhausted by lapse of time the family thought best yester- day to place the matter in the hands of the city's detectives and now state wide search is being made for Higgins.
 The family believes that Higgins returned to the freight yards and eith- CT fell off the dock or fell asleep in a car in which he may have become locked and transported to some other

Several Hundreds of Japs Who Fought

To1zio, March 22.-Honors for about 5000 Japanese soldiers who distin- guished themselves at the capture of the German fortress at Tsing-tau which surrendered in the morning of November 2, 1914 were made public yesterday by the imperial household. The list includes both officers and men and another list includes decorations for several hundred men of the navy who participated in the bombardment of the fortress.
 First on the list is Lieut.

Vice-Admira1 Sadakichi Ka- to who commanded the attacking fleet was decorated with the second class of the order of. the Golden Kite. All the decorations for the officers are accompanied with pensions. The hon ors for the rank and file of the sol diers and sailors consisted of decora- tions and a grant of money.

city. This theory is not supported by the boat officials who say that at the time Higgins left, the cars were securely sealed against entrance and that if jhe had fallen into the water his cries would have attracted at- tention.
 Young Higgins is a tall, good 1oOk- ing chap of fine physique, and when last seen was dressed in a brown over coat and brown fedora, hat. His hair is light brown. He is nearly six feet in stature.
 As a minstrel end man and singer, Higgins has appeared in many anna teur productions staged in this city,
