FIRST LECTURE
BYk0CHSUNDAy
University Man Will Deliver
Series of Shakespearean
Addresses.

Professor Frederick II. Koch will
begin his series Of Shakespeare Ter
centenary lectures next Sunday after
noon at 2:30 o'clock at the Metropoli-
tan theater with an address on The
Pageantry of Shakespeare" The Sock
and Buskin society is presenting Prof.
Koch in this series az q part OF the
university Shakespeare tercentenary
commemoration.
In practically every large city of the
! country there are to be during this
year community plays, masques. page
ants, festivals and other forms Of cell
ebration in honor OF the great poet
whose fame has grown constantly
during the three centuries since his
death. The Sock and Buskin society
has devoted its years study to the
plays of Shakespeare. and has been
presenting at its meetings scenes from
some of them. in costume on its little
Elizabethan stage. Addresses upon
topics Of general interest in the field
OF Shakespearean discussion have
been given from time to time. The
years celebration will have it's cul-
mfnation in the big Shakespearean
pageant-play to be staged at the
Bankside theater in June.
One OF the most important features
Of the commemoration will be the Sc
ries Of lectures by Prof. Koch. So
much has been written and said about
Shakespeare and his works-more
than has been written about most ma
tions--that it can safely be said that
no one has read all of 1t. Prof koch's
lectures are new and refreshing, full
Of imagery. thrilling with real pleas
ure. Each lecture will be illustrated
By readings from the plays. The Sc
ricS is of broad scope and contains
much valuable comment and opinion
that is new, and much that is essen
'ial to "a thorough appreciation Of the
greatest of poets.
The music OF Shakespeare is a de-
lightfuh study by itself. The pleasure
of the occasions will be greatly en-
HANGED by the singing of the music Of
Shakcspeare's time or music inspired
by Shakespeare by some Of the city's
most eminent musicians.
The lectures are free to the public
and will be given on five Sunday aft
ernoons, beginning next Sunday.

WITH BABE IN ARMS
 FALLS TO HER DEATH
Mrs. Stepanuk Dies at Hos pital-Steps from Mov-
 ing Car.

Mrs. Mary Stepanuk of 293 Church street died at the New Britain Gen eral Hospital at o'clock this morn ing of internal injuries received at 8 o'clock last night as she attempted to alight from the inbound Hartford car at the corner of Church and Stanley streets.
 According to the statement of some witnesses and of Conductor Birge and Motorman Simon kitson, who were in charge of the car, the unfortunate woman attempted to step from the car before it came to a complete stop. Presumably Mrs. Stepanuk had been in Hartford either visiting or shop ping and had a small child in her arms. She signalled for the car to stop at the corner of Church and Stanley streets and moved to the plat form as it was slowing down.
 The manager of the Hartford office of the Connecticut company, to whom a complete report of the acci- dent has been made, states from his information that the signal had been given for the car to stop, and it was in fact coming to stop at the usual place, when Mrs. Stepanuk, with her infant in her arms, jumped from the car on the near side of the street. Although the car was moving but slowly, she was thrown violently to the ground and her baby was hurled some distance from her. While the infant was not injured, the mother was seen to be in a critical condi- tion and she was rushed to the hos pital in the police ambulance. She suffered two hemorrhages before reaching the hospital and pr. Harry E. Elcock, who was called to attend her, saw at once that her injuries were most critical.
 Mrs. Stepanuk was but 35 years of age and besides her husband, Samuel Stepanuk, she leaves nine children. six girls and three boys.
 The'funeral arrangements have not been completed
