loneliness in the galleries of Lydia's

But that the other, her lover, could

But before she could re-collect her
wits and slip quietly away Craven alb

With visible effort Craven pulled
himself together and made an attempt
to speak; but only a husky whisper
ratified in his throat. Then his glance
veered uncertainty to Mrs. Merrilees.
Abruptly this last, overcoming her
establishment, precipitated the sltua-

Compromise Between Carr and Officials
 of Trinity Church

After several weeks of negotiating 1t is reported that Thomas J. Carr, the Cannon street cabaret proprietor, has settled his difficulties with Trinity Episcopal church and that the remon- strance filed by the church will shortly be withdrawn. The objection against Carr was that the location, which ad- joins the church, was unsuitable for a liquor license.
 Counsel for Carr represented that his client had no desire to make trou- ble for the church and was willing to make any concessions which the Trinity members asked. Carr declared he could get no other suitable location and if the church pressed the remon- strance he might be driven out of bus iness.
 The Trinity officials replied that they had no wish to put Carr out of Business. If he would agree to make certain changes in the conduct of his cabaret it was thought satisfactory compromise could be reached. The agreement will be made in writing and wher the papers are signed the Temonstrance wiE be withdrawn.
 The church members complained of nnises from Carr's place during the times when the Trinity buildings were in use. It is also said they objected to undue noise from the Bridgeport club.

s'No Card, No Work" Rule Again Enforced Success
 fully In This City.

< The strike which yesterday took nearly 100 union workers attached to the :.building trade industry from the uncornpleted storage building being erected in Whiting street by the Aus tin Construction Go. was won by the unions today.
 Following a conference between heads of the trades represented and the construction company it was de- cided to take from the work all the non- union electricians employed by the United Illuminating Co., as was done recently .at the Fairfield county court house.
 <, It is likely that the contracts held by the United Illuminating Co. will be abrogated, in accordance with custom where firms by reason of labor differ ences are unable to fulfill their obli- gations.
 Announcement was made by the trades unions today that their men W ,,ld return to work Monday as a result of the agreement.

"Who Was Oliver Osborne?" Federal
 Jury is Debating

New York, Jan. 27-The much de- bated question, "Who Was Oliver Osborne? was submitted to the de- cision of the jury in the Federal court today.
 This question lies back of the case of Franklin D. Stafford, formerly clerk in a hotel in Plainf1eld N. J., who has been on trial for the last 15 days charged with committing per jury when he swore that James w.. Osborne, a prominent New York at torney, visited the hotel with Miss Rae Tanzer. Miss Tanzer's companion at the hotel signed his name Oliver Osborne" She declares that he is James w. Osborne, but Charles H. Wax, witness at the trial, asserts that it was he that masqueraded un- der that name.
 The case was summed up yester- day and Judge Hand charged the jury this morning. The case went to the jury early this afternoon.

FORMER LOCAL RESIDENT. TAKES
 LIFE IN BOSTON
No Reason Known Here For Suicide of Harold w.
 Kelley.

Mystery surrounds the suicide in Boston, Monday, of Harold w. Kelley. formerly a resident of ITO Denver avenue, this city, and widely known here. The body was brought to this city yesterday and the funeral services held at 2:SO this afternoon from the undertaking parlors of Hawley & Wilmot. Rev. H. D. Pierce, pastor of the Memorial Baptist church in Howard avenue conducted the ser vices The funeral was private and the burial was in Mountain Grove cemetery.
 Kelley was an exceedingly bright young man whose boyhod was spent in the West End. With his two sis ter, Louise, he graduated from the Maplewood school several years ago. Brother and sister have. made their homes since childhood with their uncle, Roscoe D. Johnson, a foreman for Col. Charles l.. Gaylord, the awn- ing and tent maker. After leaving school Kelley obtained employment with his uncle and worked with him until last August. Then he decided to try his fortune in another city. He went 10 bOSCOn WIlCIG llc OpLdlAO0 employment at different jobs and of late had been working for a wrecking company. He boarded at the home of Mrs. Paul Barrett in South Boston. Recent letters to his mother here gave no intimation of his intention to commit rash act.
 Last Monday his 1andlady found him in bed writhing in agony. He had drank carbolic acid. He was taken to the City hospital where he died. His death caused as great a shock to Mrs. Barrett as to his rela- tives. He was not in financial dis tress, had no affair of the heart and except that he told the Boston hos oital physicians he wished to die, no cause for his act is known. Kelley was known and liked by scoresS of people whose awnings he took care of while employed here. He was a member of Uncas council, No. 25, O.. M

RAILROAD POSTS ANOTHER NOTICE
 OF AN EMBARGO
From Today Until End of Month Rigid Prohibition
 Will Be Enforced.

After a lapse of several weeks dur. ing which no embargoes were in force on the lines of the New Haven road another embargo has been ordered, which will extend from today until midnight Jan. 31 and stops the inn portation owe this Nrailroad o1 practically everything but food stuffs, perishable freight and food for lives tock.
 While outgoing freight is not gen. orally affected on the New Haven road, the condition of connecting lines throughout the eastern portion of the United States is such that a special department has been found necessary at New Haven to determine what shipments may be made from New England to specific points of destination and what shipments may not
 Railroad officials declare that the matter of shipping today is more complicated and puzzling than the Gordians knot. Nearly every road throughout the Eastern states is em- bargoed against it's connecting lines or against all east or westbound freight at;a certain point, with a host of exceptions that apply to- one line only. 17s.@..i
 To determine what may go freely across the continent and what may not is a question that shipping clerks in the employ of big industries or the freight agents in smaller cities are unAb1e to fathon.} For this purpose the New Haven road now has bu- reau, known as the Embargo De- partment.'' All questions of inter- railroad shipment are now decided by the experts who are keeping track of the thousands of changes made weekly by various railroads in their congestion stops, before cars are all lowed to clear from the point of ship ment.
 The present embargo, which will affect local business interests, is not considered serious at this time, and is said to be due to the large thrush of freight forced upon the road when it recently opened it's gateway to the outside world.

BRIDGEPORT IS MECCA FOR U. 5.
 MARINE OFFICERS
Activity at Lake Torpedo Boat Co. Plant Greater
 Than Ever.

Much activity is being displayed at the Lake Torpedo Boat Co. plant in this city, where a number of subma- rines for the United States government are now under course of completion. With builders tests being made upon the L-5, which is daily plying Sound waters under special crew, consist ing of Lake employees and government officers and enlisted men, work is rap- idly being pushed on the submarines laid down and plans for others. Many United States officers, inspect headquarters here, growing up with the boats'' they will eventually com mand.
 The latest assignment by the Navy Department is Assistant Naval Con- structor Edmund R. Norton, now on duty at the Charlestown Navy yard, Boston, whose preliminary orders to proceed, to Bridgeport have been is- sued.
 During the coming summer Bridge port is destined to be the habitation of large navy circle, which, with the Amphitrite complement, will add greatly to the marine coterie rapidly forming in this city.
 Work on the remaining l. and N boats, which are already progressing towards launching, will place several of these boats in the water during the summer months and the harbor will. take on the appearance of 8 large naval base.
 Trials on the L-5, which has been of Penf1eld light for several days are said to have been satisfactory as to speed requirements and submer- gence.
 Exhibition diving of the United States submarine G-1. formerly known here as the Tuna of New port recently has attracted wide at- tention in the news. Despatches commenting upon the German" dive made by the CHG meets With general criticism here as giving credit to the German constructors due to Ameri- cans. Simon Lake, whose patents in America were all granted upon s'even keel submergence, as heretofore been exclusively acknowledged as the or iginator of this method of submersiOn which permits a boat to sink from sight while undeA high speed and without causing the boat to plunge down perpendicularly with danger of striking bow first at the bottom.
 Any attempt made to misplace credit for this feat will be strenu- ously bought by the inventor.

John H.. Tyson Again
 Involved In Courts

John H. Tyson, whose father made a fortune with his theatre ticket agen- cies in New York hotels, has been brought into court again. This time he has been sued for $1,600 by Louis c. Howard of New York, who for mer1y did business under the name of the American Automobile Go. Fa- pers in the action were filed today in the common pleas court.
 It is alleged that Tyson who lives in Greenwich, endorsed 8 note for $1,000 given by Dorothy Tyson in 1911 to Howard. This note was not paid and <when presented to Tyson he also refused payment. Tyson's matrimonial troubles and his numer- ous arrests for reckless automobile driving have brought him much no. toriety.

BOY OF, IA YEARS RIVAL OF FAMOUS
 JIM THE PENmAN
Forged Checks and Victim ized Local Merchants for
 Small Sums.

The disposition of the cases of two minors, one Roy Boyle, IA years, of 296 Berkshire avenue, who had every appearance of Little Lord Faunt- leroy" so puzzled Judge Frederic Bartlett this morning that he decided to take their cases under advisement and continued them until Monday.
 Boyle is one of the strangest young offenders ever brought to the bar in this city. A bright intelligent youth, he was working in the offices of the Remington Arms Co.,, and possessed a. surprising knowledge of banking transactions. The police state that if he had not been apprehended he would be rival for the honors Of the fam ous- "Jim the Penman.''
 He walked into a local bank, re- quested a bank book, which was given him, and then cleverly forged checks, five of which he passed on local mer- chants, for sums of $5 and $6. He came to this city from New York re- gently and was living with a brother at 296 Berkshire avenue. The latter refused to come to court in his broth CTS behalf this morning.
 Juage Bartlett is undecided whether to send Boyle to the Reform school or the George Junior Republic institu- ton. He was arrested yesterday by Detective Sergeant James Dooley. and had forged checks in his possession when searched.
 The other case which will be dis posed of Monday concerns John New man, a New York youth. who cleverly opened a new style continuation lock ed cash receptacle and stole $4O while working in the store of the American Tea Co.,, 629 Washington avenue. He was arrested yesterday and admitted stealing the money.

Telephone Operators Walk Out Ties Up R. R.
 Switchboard Service

Two persons walked out'' in the Rridgeport offices of the New Haven railroad Wednesday. AS a result business in all but the operating de- partment of the railroad practically ceased for the period of a couple of hours and until a train could bring two more temporary substitutes to this city.
 The power of "P. B. (x' as the priva.e-branch exchange telephone operators are technically known, was probably never shown to. greater de- gree in this city than at the time last Wednesday when Miss Hazel Hair ant her associate operator decided that they would no longer submit to the rigid rules being instituted for their guidance.
 When they took off their head pieces, plugged -in' their board and walked out of the employ of the com pany all intercommunication by teIe- phone between local offices, round houses, stations and to New Haven and other points ceased except by telegraph. The only department not directly affected was the operating department which is connected be- tween towers and divisions with in- dividual telephone and telegraph lines. But for this fact it is believ- ed in railroad quarters that even train service would have been inter rupted.
 Efforts upon the part of Train master Lou P. Bristol and others in authority to have clerks in the ser vice attempt the telephone service are today said to have been unsuc- cessful because of union regulations of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks. Until operators fully conversant with the technical railroad traffic could be brought from out of town, telephonic communication except by spasmodic connection was impossible.
 The services are now replaced by others furnished by the Southern New England Telephone Co., who have been especially instructed for thew ork.

LANDLORD CAN'T INTERFERE WITH
 WORK OF CUPID
Beating Up Tenant Because Girl Had Caller Not Sus-
 tained By Court.

The right of young lady to enter tain in a rented apartment possible suitors for her hand, even though she does not live with her father, is still untrammelled. Neither has the land lord a right to assault and throw from his place of business a tenant who comes to appeal for his rights, ac- cording to a decision rendered today by Justice John Casey.
 In suit for $100 damages Joseph Ma chuda of Brooks street was awarded $25 today by the court against Joseph Olsavski, a saloon-keeper in Brooks street.
 Testimony was offered to show that Machuda rents from Olsavski, who ob- jected to company visiting Miss Ma chuda. When the father went to the Landlords place of business to protest he was beaten up'' and thrown into the street. The action twas brought upon the ground of assault.
