ing the conferees' report An agree

Seymour, July 27-After firing at

North Main street. Ansonia, and The
dore Jakob of 419 of the same street
were arrested between Ansonia and
Seymour by Lieutenant Albano Of
Derby. and Sergeant Mahoney of An
sonia.
The reports of pot shots being sent
at the train seemed to indicate an
attempt to hold up the train which
runs from Devon to Winsted by Wa
terbury and is due at the latter place
at 9:2O. On Friday once in while
pay car has been attached. On ar
rival here the train engineer told

to pick up the two youths and bring
them to the Seymour police station.

the shooting. One of them was inn
pudent when question. Both had air
rifles Bowen had revolver and a
bowie knife as we'll.

NEIGHBORS Object TO
ERECTION OF GARAGE
Chestnut and Fairview Street
People Sign Rem0n-
STRANGE.

Residents in the vicinity of the
corner of Chestnut and Fairview
streets are highly indignant over the
proposed construction of q two-story
garage building on the northwestern
corner Of these two thoroughfares
and as starter in their fight to pre-
vent Its erection about 25 of the
residents have signed a round robin"
protesting to Building Inspector Ar
thur N. Rutherford against the is
suance of a permit. The building in
spector, beyond admitting that he had
received the written and signed re-
monstrance, as we'll as several verbal
complaints, declined to comment on
the situation. He did state however,
that as yet no one has applied for a
permit to build garage at this place.
The demonstrating residents claim
that the erection Of a garage or any
other business block at the corner
Of Chestnut and Fairview streets is
"detriment to a strictly residential
locality" The property in question is
owned by John Kunz and, the remon-
strants claim, he has made known his
intentions of erecting a garage cap
able of accommodating a dozen cars.
Already Mr.. Kunz has expended sew
eral hundred dollars. it is said, ex-
cavating for the building. According
to the residents who profess to have
been acquainted with Mr.. Kunz's S
plans, the garage Is to be so con-
structed that entrance can be made to
! the second floor at grade, as we'll as
on the first floor. This is possible be-
| cause of the hilly condition of the
property.
Although Building Inspector Ru-
| therford declines to state whether he
| will grant a permit, in case one is
sought, opinion of certain city off,
| cials is that the inspector may not
be able to do otherwise, in case the
plans and specifications meet with all
building ordinance requirements. He
has, however. the privilege of holding
| up any applications for period Of
two weeks. A lawyer. who was con-
suited on the matter by one of the
I remonstrants, is said to have agreed
| that the building inspector may not
| be able to hold up the issuance of 4
permit and if the residents object to
| the garage they may have to seek
redress through the civil courts, pos
sibly by seeking an Injunction.
Indications are that this proposed
garage will cause considerable of a
neighborhood stir before the matter
is finally adjusted.

M'MILLAN DISCOVERS
new Lands in ARCTIC
Writes to Friend Telling of
Explorations in Top
Latitudes.

Boston, July 27.-Donald B. McMil-
Ian, the Artic explorer who has been
in the Polar country for the past four
years, expects to return home by Sep
tember Is next, according to a letter
to p. F. Parker of this city, manager
of his personal affairs, made public
today.
The letter was dated at Etah on
November s, last year, and is believed
to be the first direct word from Nc
MILAN this year, although advices have
been received indirectly. eff our re-
lief ship does not fail US third time"
the explorer writes. II should reach
home about September Is, 1917. al
though I have had, or will have had,
four years in the Artic yet I am not
a bit tired of it, and have planned for
further work.
''As you know, we failed to find
Crocker Land. I am SORRY for Peary,
who was. without doubt, sincere in
his belief that 1t lay some 100 miles
due northwest of Cape Thomas. We
went ISL miles to make sure and then
we're rewarded with nothing but
clear horizon.
Last year I reached my objective
point, King Christian Land, the Fin
lay Land of some 60 years ago, which
has never been visited, as far as I
know. Returning, headed for North
Cornwall, which also has never been
explored. En- route six new islands
were discovered and many miles of
coast line mapped. Incidentally we
picked up about so musk oxen and
20 polar bears. Am now planning an
other long trip in the spring. which
when completed, will net me about
5000 miles of dog team work.

largely of beans, salt beef, dry vege-

then proceeded and, according to re-
port, the machine was making high

timber and thrown out of Ithe car,
being found in the middle of the
bridge roadway. She has broken

injuries. Farr was not struck by the
timber, but was thrown out, receiving
a broken leg and arm. The other oc-
cupants, being on the right side OF
the seats, escaped the full force of the
blow. and their injuries are mostly
bruises and decorations accompanied
by shock.
