1t is perfectly obvious that the re-

lowest layers of sediment would contain
the earliest forms of life and the top
most layers the later kind of animals

rock, forming, of sand, sandstone OF
clayey mud, shale; and of limy ooze

two hundred performances in London.
Mr.. Chahmbers is Std to have sup
piled the eminent English actor with
one OF the best roles he has ever
oitrayed, and one in which he has
ample opportunities for the display of
all those exquisite and deft methods
of light comedy to which he owes n
great share of his fame. Nor are op-
portunit,es lacking for more serious
acting moments. TOR throughout the
comedy there runs a most appealing
love story. The Charles Frohman
Company, under the management Of
which Mr.. Maude appears, has sur
rounded the actor with a most dis
tinguishcd company. The principal
feminine role is portrayed by Miss
Laura Hope Crews, a charming ana
most capable actress with a personal
following here. Miss Betty Murray,
agreebly recalled for most pleasing
performance with Mr.. Maude in
Grumpy" is as happily cast in THE
Saving Grace" Other characters are
in the capable hands of Annie Hughes,
Charlotte Granville, Edward Douglas
and Stanley Harrison. Needless to
say. the comedy had been produced
with all the customary Frohman good
taste and distinction.

TWO BRIDGEPORT
 HOMES ENTERED

Ralph Peloquin, of 430 Park street reported to the police this morning that his home was entered last night, through a pantry window, and gold watch, a gold stick pin and S1O in cash taken.
 Within a few moments after the above report was received, Sam Polackewitch of 196 William street telephoned that thieves had en- tered his home last night by way of a bath room window, and gold watch taken.
 There have been a number of rob- berries of this type. all from persons living on the first floor.
 The police believe that the same person is responsible. A woman's cloak found, when the thief was frightened away while busy at work on a house on Steuben street several night ago lead the police to think that they must look for a woman.
 Thieves entered the home of Charles c. Taylor, president of the Remington Arms-U. M. c. company, 11S9 Fairfield avenue, last night and ransacked the entire dwelling. taking silverware.

NIyIE;RIDEN YOUTHS. CONFESS ROBbINC
 BRIDGEPORTERS
Held Up Abraham Sherman of Railroad Avenue
 Robbed Ginsberg.
TWO OF TRIO CARRIED PISTOLS WHILE HERE
Will Probably Be Returned to Former Home In
 Reformatory.

George Previs of 831 Eallett street, Joseph Llavnick of 186 Orchard street and John Barnowsky of 26 Booth street, who were turned over to the police of Meriden by the local police, on a charge of highway robbery made a full confession of their local crimes, bfore leaving this city.
 The trio wer graduates of the Re- formatory at M. iden, which led to them being recognized in that city, at a time when they held up butcher, robbing him of S12O. The victims of the youthful holdups started to chase the boys who are all under IS years of age, after he was robbed, but two shots from a revolver, fired by Pre- vis, caused him to change his mind.
 Under questioning by the local off, cers the three confessed to holding up Abraham Sherman, a storekeeper of Railroad avenue, and Max Gins berg of Columbia and Gregory streets, also a storekeeper. The proprietors of both stores were backed into the rear of their stores at the point of a gun and held there by one of the men, while one man went through the cash register. These two holdups netted the gang nearly s2OO.
 Previs, said to be the leader of the robbers, had in his possession a .SS- calibre revolver when arrested. Bar nowsky stated that he had a .22-cali- bre gun, but that one night recently while going over the Congress street bridge, he saw policeman whom he thought was watching him, and he threw his gun into the river off the bridge.
 All three of the holdup men were released on a parole from the Re formatory at Meriden two months ago. As the three were on parole they will probably be returned to the reformatory.

LvOFF IS
 SURE ROMANOFFS WERE MASSACRED
Paris Paper Informed That Thorough Investigation
 Has Been Made.

Paris, Jan. 3.---Prince Lvoff. the former Russian premier, from whom Foreign Minister Pichon obtained in- formation of the massacre of the in1- periaI family as related in the Cham Der of Deputies last week, informs the Journal that he learned the de- tails from a judge who made an in vestigation of the deaths. The prince quotes the judge as saying:
 T left nothing to chance, and all though some points are not yet cleared up, I consider that the chances are ninety-five out of a hundred that the imperial family was massacred."
 Prince Lvoff says the judge wept as he told him that they had found on the walls of the room where the family had been confined marks of 8 revolver bullets and many cuts which had been made by beyonets. Blood was drying everywhere on the wooden floor. The judge was search ing for the bodies, which had not yet been. found when Prince Lvoff left Ekaterinburg several months ago.

Washington. Jan. 3-Accom- plishments of railroads under Federal control in the last 12 monthL and arguments for a five-year continuance of gov ernment operation to provide a fair test of unified direction were recited today by Director General McAdoo, testifyina before the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, which took up consideration of his recommendation for extension of control to 1924.
 T do not mean that this would be desirable in order to accomplish gov ernment ownership"
 Referring to the increase in freight and passenger rates six months ago, MT. McAdoo said tha. similar action would have been ne cessary even under private manage ment to prevent serious losses, and said it should be possible to lower rates materially this year.
 Uniformity of rates and equitable dtstribuxion of the rate burden oyer all railroads Is possible only under unified control, MT. McAdoo urged as another argument for the fve-year continuance plan. Great improve ments and extensions should be made in terminal facilities by enlargement t and consolidation, he said. This, he said, provides the greatest opportun- ity for reducing railroad costs and promoting public convenience in the future.
 MT. McAdoo estimated the govern ments loss in operating Railroads this year at $136, 6,0O0,000 This represents the difference between the amount guaranteed to the roads as government in railroad income. If the higher rates had been in effect the entire year he estimated the gov ernment would have made a surplus of $1O0,OOO,O 900, and in 1919, with existing wages, operating costs and traffic volume remaining substan- italy the same as in last year, the government should make a surplus of 100000. He also predicted that considerable reduction in rates | could be effected in 1919.
 Wage increases to railroad em- ployes last year added between $6OO,- 00O,0O0 and $70O,0O0,OO0 to the pay rolls, MT. McAdoo testified In addi- ! ton the coal bill was S14O,OO0,O0O higher for the ten months of 1918 l ending November l, than in the same ! period of 1917, and the cost of cross ties and lumber increased $65,OOO,- | 900.
 l Many economies brought about by 1 change in management, such as re- 1 routing, common use of terminals and l equipment, heavier loading and elfm- i ina -'on of useless competition, MT i M loo explained, will not be re.
 f1ected until this year. Nevertheless
 he said, reports from five of the sev.
 c operating regions show that on 2
 group of selected principal items o1
 economy, savings totalling $S5,576,. 1. 900 have been effected.

EMBARGO FREIGHT ENROUTE TO NEW YORK AND BOSTON Philadelphia is Included Piers of These Cities Over crowded With Supplies. FOOD FOR SOLDIERS AND EUROPEANS HELD Strike of Freight Handlers
 and Ship in Dry Dock
 Causes.

New York, Jan. 3-Shipment of all classes of freight, and particularly food stuff intended for American troops abroad and Europes starving people was embargoed from other parts of the country through the ports of Boston, Philadelphia and New York for export by order of the Federal Food Administration today.
 Food and supplies are accumulated on the piers of New York to such an extent that 1t is impossible for It to be handled or for cargo space to be provided for It's transportation abroad. Similar conditions are de- cIared to exist in Boston and Phila- delphia, with the situation becoming more serious.
 Three principal causes are assign ed. One is the strike of freight handlers, which was reported to be spreading today Another was dis position on the part of ship owners to put their vessels in drydock upon being relieved from the war strain, instead of continuing the ships in trade. Still another was the holiday season, with consequent decrease in labor facilities regardless of existing strike conditions.
 Regarding the ship situation it was declared that vessels for use by the food administration had not become available in the tonnage that had been expected, and that other vessels expected to arrive in New York. Bos- ton, aid Philadelphia to carry ship 1aents across the Atlantic had been delayed by storms.
 The embargo began yesterday on shipments from interior points to New York over the New York Central rail- road, due to the strike by freight handlers. This labor trouble was largely on the New Jersey side of the port, but todaY.edts scope broaden d and virtually every pier here was af- fected from which freight is loaded for export. This freight reaches New York over nearly every railroad in the north Atlantic rail traffic division
 The freight handlers have been re- ceiving 42 cents an hour for a ten hour day Their demand now is 5C cents an hour for an eight-hour day with time and half overtime pay for the ninth and tenth hours.

At noon 900 men had been transshipped and one destroyer had started for New York with a load of rescued.
 Khaki-clad men who had gripped with the enemy or who had endured months of mist and mud in Euro pean training camps chased as a. lark the adventure which took them in g. driving rain down the slippery sides of the Northern Pacific to the bobbing rescue craft. With an off, shore breeze affording a lee to land ward the sailors worked methodi- cally, the four submarine chasers talk ing turns at the side of the big vessel and receiving 150 men at a load, while the 20 motor launches carried 10 to 20. It was cold, wet work Spray drenched the men in the boats, which rose on the crest of the incon- ing waves and then dived into the troughs, disappearing from the. view of the observers on shore. Not an accident, however marked the morn- ings work.
 When the coast guard life savers assembled on the beach they found the sea running further in and the surf breaking higher than yesterday over the transport The wind was veer4ng to the northeast. The ship had worked further in during the night. but because 1t was high water this morning her distance from shore seemed greater.
 The position of the transport was declared to be virtually unchanged, the danger of her breaking up being no greater than 1t was last night not withstanding the continued pounding of the seas. Repairs had been made which prevented further water from entering the holds, a message from the ship said.

Boston, Jan. 3.-The arrival of six destroyers from duty in foreign Wa ters caused big celebration on the waterfront today. The coming of the warshtps had not been officially announced and they were well inside the harbor before they were discov- cred. Immediately bells and whistles joined in a din which last ed until the destroyers reached the navy yard. The incoming vessels were the Stephens, Jenkins, Cassin, Conyingham, Pauling and Trinfel, all of which had been in overseas ser- vice for many months.
