 The item which appeared in last week: | Press to the effect that 5. KatZowitz anC
 Himie Kuslansky had bought out tht
 interest of Samuel Kuslansky in proreri '
 on Grant avenue was a mistake. There
 was no interest to be bought out. The
 money was paid over in settlement oI
 some disputes. Sam Katzowitz | It is now quite an established fact
 that in the near future a factory for | the manufacture of lace will be erect
 ed on the site of the Mullen mill in | Forestville. Oliver H. Watson of War | ren, R. I. who recently purchased the site, has interested William D. Sowter
 and he son George G. Sowter in the plan. Mir Sowter and his son re- | gently c,l...c from England and both are expert lace makers. A corporation | is now Icing formed and it is hoped

 The Independent five plan to play
 the Ware A. c. in the Boys Club hall on Wednesday night, this week. This will be the first game in the club since the place has been rearranged A good many will prot ably turn out just to get the "feeling'' of the new arrangement. On Christmas after noon this team will chase the Ben Hur's or vice versa over the same cards. The visitors, who come from the capital, are considered a very fast team. The same is true of the Independents. Dancing will follow both games.

 In the opinion of the officials who have been working on the case for the past two months, it is but ques- tion of time when the woolen goods, stolen from box car in the local freight yards early this fall, will be recovered. Already they have caught the man who lead in the stealing of the cloth He is John Coroni, who was arrested in Springfield Monday. He is wanted for the theft of goods in Waterf ury also. Shortly after the stealing of nearly $4000 worth of goods here investigations were start ed and they have already netted re- suits which give promise of the round ing up of what seems to be a gang of cloth thieves operating throughout | New England. One of the most re- cent developments in the case, besides the arrest of Coroni, was the finding yesterday in houses in Stafford of goods which the authorities are sure have been stolen. It was also found that Coroni had brought the cloth to this place. Another result of these in vestigations was the finding of goods worth between $20,000 and $30,000 in a house in Shelton last week. All this and more was brought about through the work of Chief Hayes, Special Agents from out of town G. l.. Hodge, William Lewis and Patrol man Anderson. Many of these re- suits were obtained by following up clues discovered in theis town by Chief Hayes It was he who found that goods were being delivered to houses in Stafford by a small auto truck almost weekly. Special Agent Hodge followed this up and identified the cloth as some which was stolen from the New Haven road some time ago. Yesterday morning Chief Hayes, ac- companied by the three men above | visited the house of some | Stafford people and recovered some | of the stolen cloth. The houses visit | ed were those of Tony Bacchioici, | Angelo Scussell and Joseph Vetileni. | The cloth stolen from here has not | been recovered as yet No doubt it | is being kept under cover for a while, | Lut the officers, since they know who | stole it, regard it as matter of time l when it will be found. The work of | the local police chief was no small | factor in bringing to light all these | facts, and the town can we'll be proud | of him. In the opinion of special l Agent Hodge he is deserving of much | praise.
