Alleged to Have Smash
ed Window of. Michaels'
Jewelry Store Dec. II
LOUNGED AROUND
BEACH IN SUMNER
Lived Life of Prince in
Hotels During Winter
Never Worked.

Frank Williams, So, who is
said to be one Of the two men
who early On the morning of
December n, threw a large
rock through the display win
dow Of Michael's jewelry store
on Main street, was arrested a
couple of days ago in Spring
field, Mass
He arrived in Bridgeport to-
day to answer the charge,
of stealing $4,000 worth of
jewelry, and it is limited that
there will be another charge
| against him for a similar crime
in New Haven
Williams was arrested in Spring
field on March IA, on charge of
theft of the person, and when he was
brought to the Springfield police
headquarters, Captain Guilty noticed
the resemblance to the man whom
Captain E. o. Cronan of Bridgeport
was looking for. Guilty Immediately
got Captain Cronan on the telephone
and in the exchange of notes which
followed it was definitely established
that Williams was the man they were
searching for.
| 1t was Immediately arranged with
the Springfield authorities to have
| Williams brought to Bridgeport and
when he arrived today he was given
a severe grilling by the members of
the detective bureau, who believe
that in the arrest of Williams they
have rounded up one of the most dar-
ing of window smashing thieves.
When brought before Captain Gro
nan, Williams refused to talk, and no
amount of threatening, diplomacy or
inducement could get him to answer
questions. Captain Cronan is rather
sure that Williams will fit into the
description of the man who has been
wanted by the police all over the
country for the past several years,
and is getting busy with the bureau
heads of other cities where similar
crimes have been committed
In discussing the case today Cap
tain Cronan said: "It will be remem-
bered that this man Williams made
his first appearance IN Bridgeport
about year ago. He always seemed
to be p1entifully supplied with money,
and at any time he was in danger of
running short he used to leave town
for periods not exceeding two weeks
but invariably he returned with a
new bank roll. AS far as we have
been able to find out he never work
ed, but spent the summer down at the
beach. In the fall he moved to town
and lived in hotels mostly.
1.-The morning he selected for his
break was a cold snowy day and
: there were few people stirring around
$50 when the alleged thief and q
companion went to the show window
of the jewelry store and calmly broke
it in with a large rock. The people
who were around at that hour look
ed on while the thieves cleaned ou1
the window of diamond rings
watches, lavaliers, stick pins ant
other valuables. When they had Sc
cured everything in reach they sa
luted two women who were on the op
posite sidewalk and made a sign O.
silence to them. They then departed
for an unknown destination"

THE Russian republic uses the oc-

warm sympathy and firm convection
that the happy time is near when the

JUST
PEACE OR

Most Critical Stage of War
Reached, Henderson's
Opinion.

London, March 16-1he most
critical stage of the whole history
of the war has been reached, in
the opinion of Arthur Hender-
son, secretary of the Labor party.
Speaking in London at a woman
suffrage celebration yesterday,
Mr.. Henderson added:
st have been imagining during
the last few days, having regard
to what has taken place in Rus
STA, that some German enissary
might come along and say: Why
Go we fight? Why cannot we set
tie it? We are prepared to come
to compromise with you re-
garding colonies and we are pre-
pared to make considerable con-
cessions to France with refer
ence to Alsace-Lorraine.'
''That would be cynical
peace, containing the seeds of fu-
trre war. 1t would not be a
clean peace and it would not be
an honorable peace. It would be
the deSertiOn of Russia and the
women of this country must
stand against it like flint.
1--WE are anxious for peace and
the sooner it comes the better.
But let me say it must be a peace
consistent with the ideals for
which we entered the war. No
one deplores more than the col
lapse of Russia, but I do not be-
heve that represents a majority
of the Russian people. The Rus
sian people were very anxious for
peace. / am anxious for peace,
