THE HOPCRAFT CASE.
No New Developments in Murder That
 Has Shocked Community.

New Haven, July 17.-No progress was reported in the Hopcraft murder mystery yesterday by those who have the case under investigation. Much of Coroner MiN's efforts are being di- rected Tn other cases and the attor- neys for the defense have no new de- velopments or c lues which they care to d1Vulge at present. Indications are that there will be little more of interest made known to the public until the coroner completes his fnd- ing, which owing to the amount of work in his hands may be delayed un- til the beginning of next month. Jone passed a comfortable day at the jail and received two callers.

 C. A. Edmunds, who has charge of the midway concessions, reports that they are selling fast and that very few remain to be taken. William H.
 Webster acting president of the Der lin fair assOciati ton, stated yesterday that the premium list will go to the
 press at any time now, the only de- lay being on the advertising end. The boys and girls club of the State of Connecticut will have the entire Foresters' hall this year for the display of their garden products. Separate booths for every boy and girl in the club are to be provided so that each one may display just what he or she has accomplished. This exhibit in conjunction with the other agricultural displays will make the total agricultural exhibit the greatest
 ever seen at the annual fairs. The auto show this year is going to be something out of the ordinary, the
 entire exgovernment building being turned over for that purpose. This part of the program is also under the supervision of C. A. Edmunds. Extraordinary acts of vaudeville have already been booked to ensure getting absolutely the best there is.
 Performances will be given daily as has been the custom in the past. Further details of the fair will be given later.

Old Staff of Officers Re-eleCted-
 Financial Gains
WAS INCORPORATED IN 1873
Institution Declares Per Cent. Divi- dend to InycstOrs-ImprOycm Being Made in East Berlin Highway News From kcnsington.

At the annual meeting of the Berlin Savings bank yesterday afternoon the administrative officers of the past year were reelected and the financial re- port of the past year was read.
 The bank has passed through the most successful year in it's history in the year just completed, showing a gain of $533, 3OS.40 in deposits for the period and a profit of $25,O00. This is the only institution in the state that has paid per cent. for a period of nine consecutive years and bids fair to continue to do so indefinitely. The state bank examiner declares the bank to be one of the strongest in the state of Connecticut. Practically all the bank officials and trustees are from the town of Berlin. which goes to show that financiers are not all to be found in the large cities
 The institution was incorporated in 1873 by 22 citizens of the town and began active business on January !, 1874. Many well known names are n the list which is as follows: Samuel c. Wilcox, Jonathan T. Hart, William H. Risley, Roswell A. Moore, Lyman Mott, Gustavus Upson, Alfred North, John Maloy, Elishama Brandegee, Henry M. Cowles, John Norton, Levi Deming, Edward F. Stevens, George w. Cook, Nathan $. Thresher, Henry g. Galpin, Andrew J. Warner Edward C. Hall William W. Norton and Alfred l.. Bowers. The same sound principles of business are still maintained today as of A years ago as is evidenced by the banks phenomenal growth.
 The statement of the banks finances ending for the fiscal year ending July 1, is given here as follows:
 Loans on real estate. .. $2, ,175, 336 GO Loans, personal ....... 9,929.00 Bank stock ........... 122, 2,O75.00 Bank building ...... 9,00000 Bonds Z4O, ,bS0.OO Town orders ....... 100000 Cash in banks and on
 hand ............. 77,769.16
 Total ................$ B, ,639.7S9.16
 The value of the bank building will be ma aterially increased by the new addition now in the process of con- struction. The rapid growth during the past year. has made it imperative in order to relieve the over crowded conditions.
 @ The officers and trustees reelected for the ensuing year are as follows:
 President-William Bulkcley. Vice president-Ernest W. Mil drum.
 Secretary and treasurer-Francis Demng
 Assistant treasurer-James J. Fitz- sinons Trustee ees-Francis Deming Roger M GrisWold, William Bulkeley, Ernest

AMERICANS WATCHING CLOSELY
TEUTON TROOPS IN RHINELAND

COBLENZ, Mar. IS. = The in
telligence section of the American
army continues to keep strict watch
of the movements of the German
army and will continue to do so
until the American army OF occu-
patton leaves the Rhineland for
home after the signing of the peace
treaty.
Recent reports to the Ameri-
cans holding the Coblenz bridge
head are to the effect hat the few
units of the old German standing
army which were performing any
active service early in February
appeared to have been r~eorganized
on a uniform plan. The majority
of these troops, information in the
hands of the Americans indicate,
are simply drawing pay and pass
ing the time the best way possible
in their home depots, patiently
awaiting discharge or having made
up their minds to remain in serv-
ice in preference to seeking en-
ployment in civil life.
These units are divided between
those who are perfectly willing to
perform active service and those
who are not. The willing men.
usually including most of the Of
ficers and non-eommissioned Off
GERS, have taken a new. name for
their organization, but continue to
use the depots and other facilities

CIVILIANS REMAIN IN

BRUSSELS, Mar. Is. = Despite
the passing of a law providing for
the expulsion of enemy subjects

civilians are often see walking the

cities in Belgium at the present
time. While the law went into

SUIT FILED TO TEST
WARTIME DRY BILL
BREWERY STOCKHOLDERS TO
TEST LAW IN FEDERAL
COUR

NEW YORK, Mar. Is. - Pre-
liminary action for testing the con-
stitutionality of the wartime pro-
hibition act was taken through the
filing today of a stockholders SUIT
in the federal court against the
James Everard breweries.
The complainant, Joseph Ever
ard, asked the court for an order
restraining the defendant from
suspending manufacturing activi-
ties on May I and sales on July 1.
as required by federal statute.
The complaint alleges that the
emergency prohibition clause in
the agricultural bill adopted on
Nov. 81, 1918, is unconstitutional
as a measure designed for national
security as the armistice was sign
ed before that date.

by American soldiers engaged in
Cleaning up" after the withdraw

sives being placed in great pits and
covered with steel rails and wood

Thousands of anti-aircraft shells
also have been destroyed on the
summit of a ridge of hills skirting
the Moselle in this vicinity and

CALIFORNIA HAS BIG
QUICKSILVER OUTPUT

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. Is. =
According to the state mining bu-
reau, California yields approx
mately 70 per cent of the quick
silver output of the United States;
and since 1850 has produced a to-
tai of 2,137,72S TASKS to the end
of 1917, valued at $101,992,56O. 7
A bulletin recently issued says:
1.-THE quicksilver industry,
though relatively speaking not as
large nor as extensive as some
other branches Of the mineral
business, is nevertheless a very vi
tai one in peace times as we'll as in
war. In normal peace times so
per cent of our quicksilver con
sumption goes into illuminate for
blasting caps for quarrying and
mining, ash well as ammunition.
In addition, a considerable amount
goes into the manufacture of
drugs. Some also is used in gold
and silver mining. We should not
permit ourselves to become depend
emit on foreign sources for this
very necessary metal. Without a
sufficiently high protective import
duty, the United States is at the
present time in danger of having
its domestic quicksilver industry
shrottled by foreign competition,
particularly from Mexico and
Spain. The recovery of quicksil-
9 requires capital for equipment
and time for development, and is
not a business which can be picked
up on a producing basis at a mo-
ment's notice."

late war cost 100000 lives from
the separation of husbands and

600 killed. But those losses may
be made good in a few years.
"But at home we must face the
fact that the upper and middle

utmost to rid the country Of Ger
man civilians, but the difficulties
encountered are formidable. In
times Of peace undesirables are es-
corted to their frontier, but since
the signing OF the armistice the
allied general staff has refused alb
solutely to allow Germans to pass
through the zone of occupation.
Holland permits them to go
through the country, but not sin
ely. Groups only are allowed in
transit. At the present time one
train of undesirables is leaving
daily"
An idea of the number of Ger
mans in Belgium before the war
and the still greater number who
have elected to make 1t during the
occupation what they thought
would be their permanent living
place, may be gathered from the
fact that trains are expected to
leave for weeks and perhaps for
months.
The case Of German subjects who
have resided in Belgium for long
years, have married Belgian wo-
men and whose sons have fought
against the Germans is particular
ly sad. Under the terms of the
law they should be expelled along
with the others, as they have re-
NAMED enemy subjects. Wander
velde said, however: eft is i'm
possible for men to send that class
of Germans out of the country"

BUFFALO HERD ON
SALT LAKE ISLE
FOUR HUNDRED WILD AS WHEN
ON WESTERN
PLAINS
SALT LAKE CITY, Mar. II.

SALT LAKE CITY, Mar. II. -
A herd of between 800 and 400
buffalo, all of them said to be as
wild as when they roamed the
western plains, are rulers Of An.
telope island, in Great. Salt lake,
Antelope island contains apprexi-
mately $4,000 acres and is the es.
tate of the late John Dooly, west.
ern pioneer.
According to officers of the
Dooly estate, between 80 and 40
buffalo were placed on the island
about 40 years ago. Occasionally
at the invitation Of n of the
Dooly legatees. friends have been
permitted to hunt" the buffalo,
The sport is said to be exciting.
Reports that the animals on Ante.
lope island are tame are met with
invitation to journey to the island
and attempt to get close to the
herd.
Only the old bulls are allowed to
be killed, and less than 10 of these
annually, say the estate officials.
The estate officials say they are
willing that the government take
over the buffalo and place them
in some national park. They said
that the buffalo eat much food
that could be more profitably de-
voted to the use Of cattle. Al
though located in the middle OF
the Great Salt lake, fresh water
springs supply water the year
round.

mense resources in fisheries, Fdm-
herring and coal await development
in the sea of Okhotsk and the isl

Golos Primorya, in an article
pointing out the need for improved
shipping and transportation facili-
ties in that northern region, says
that with only nine sea-going
steamers available, with an aggre-
gate capacity of 527 tons, Niko-
laevsk, the center of distribution,
exported $4,000 tons of fish last
year. The crying need of the in
dustry is more ships, according to
the newspaper in question.
"The commercial fleet" contin-
ues the paper, smust be made 10
or 20 times larger. The coast line
of Kamchatka, with its rich fish
cries, the sea of Okhotsk, as well
as the coal-producing regions of
Shaghalien, use Nikolaevsk as a
center for distribution. To meet
the requirements a commercial
fleet of 10000 tons is necessary.
