HARRISON WAS MAN SHOT BY STRANK, JAN. IA
Identification Made Through His Fingerprints
 By Navy.

The unknown hold-up man who was shot and killed by Joseph P. Strank, in the Main street office of the United Bond Company on the evening of Jan. 14, was identified by the police Saturday afternoon as Thomas Abra- ham Harrison of Fairhaven, N. Y. The detective department is now in communication with the Fairhaven authorities in hope that some of the dead mans relatives may De located and notified of his death.
 Identification was made directly by the Navy Department in Washington, D. C., which had been supplied with the unknown mans fngerprints. In a letter to the local police, the naval authorities stated that the finger prints were the same as those of Thomas Abraham Harrison, of Fair haven, N. Y,who enlisted in the navy on Nov. 12, 1917. The man was honorably discharged from the ser vice on August 5, 1919.
 Harrison and an unknown conpan- ion entered the United Bond Co.'S of flee in Main street, about 6:30 o'clock on the evening of January 1T. Joseph F. Strank, one of the members Of the firm was alone in the office at the time. Harrison, who is alleged to have stood near the door, pulled a revolver and fired at Strank, while the other robDer attempted to black jack the bondsman. Strank drew a revolver from a holster fastened to his desk chair and fired one shot at Harrison. The bullet entered the hold-up mans chest, and he died on the sidewalk in Main street few minutes later. The other robber fled, and has not been located as yet.
 The police have but small hopes of locating Harrison's partner, who made his getaway immediately after the shooting. It is believed that this man formed an acquaintance with the Fairhaven youth in New York city, and that the pair huns around Manhattan for some time af- ter Harrison had been discharged from the Navy If relatives of the dead man are locaetd in F7airhaven N. Y., the remains will probably be ahinnAa to that city for interment.

NO CHANCE TO BE ACCEPTABLE
 ON ARTICLE X
Senator Lodge So Informs Members of Committee
 Today.

Washington, Jan. 26-No change in the reservations affecting Article Ten of the League of Nations covenant, or the Monroe Doctrine provision of the peace treaty, will be acceptable to the Republicans, Senator Lodge today informed Senator Hitchcock and oth- CT members of the informal Demo- cratic committee which has been con- ferring with Senator Lodges com mittee in an effort to reach a com promise on the treaty.
 Senator Lodges statement was formulated after his conference Sat urday with Senators Borah. Idaho; Johnson, California, and other Re- publican Senators opposing the treaty.
 Immediately after the statement was presented today the bipartisan conference adjourned, Senator Hitch cock and his associates retiring for a private conference. They will make tn cir reply to Senator Lodge tomor- row morning.
 Senator Hitchcock, later issued this statement:-
 "When the conference assembled Senator Lodge advised the Senators present that he had been called into a meeting by certain Republican seH- ators and for that reason had not been able to attend the last conference Friday. He regretted to say that he found it impossible to resume the con- ference for g. compromise except up- on the understanding that no change shall be made in the reservation on Article Ten or on the Monroe Doc Urine. The Democratic members re- tired for a private conference and will make their reply to Senator Lodge Tuesday morning at a meeting al 10:30.
 ''The conference up to the time its meetings were interrupted had tenta- lively agreed upon the preamble and all sections of the reservations except that relating to Article Ten, the Mon- roe Doctrine and one or two minor matters and an agreement was ap- parently also consummated on Article Ten when adjournment suddenly came followed by the intervention of tn, irreconcilable Republicans

SIX MEN LOST i. WHO TRIED TO FIND STEAMER Boat Held Fast in Ice Four
 Miles Out in Lake
 Michigan.

Chicago Jan. 26-Six men who tried to reach the steamer Sidney O.. Neff, stuck in the ice four miles out in Lake Michigan, were unaccounted for early today and the Goodrich Companys flagship Alabama, carry ing a crew of fifty, was fast in the ice banks six miles out.
 For the first time in a week, how. ever, the wind today had shifted to off shore and it was hoped ice breaking tugs could release the small Neff, with it's crew of eight, tomor- row It was believed the shifting ice would permit the Alabama to crush her way to port.
 Captain O. T. Olson. skipper of the Neff, H. c. Anderson, a seafaring friend, and four members of the Neff crew were the men reported missing early today. They had made their way to the shore but were returning to the Neff, as it was not believed she would be crushed by the ice. The lookout at the four mile crib reported that a careful watch all day yesterday failed to reveal the men nearing the ship, which lay within easy range ot his glasses. Rescue parties failed te find their trail in the snow.
 The Alabama left Muskegeo Mich Saturday morning. She arrived of the crib yesterday morning and inn mediateIy was frozen iE. She was said to be in no danger.

JUDGE BANKS
 ASSIGNED TO
 HEAR ACTIONS
Will Be Able to Thus Dis pose of Surplus Divorce
 Gases.

Because of the large number of di- vorce cases which have Gbeen placed on the unconteSted list and which could not be tried before June unless spe- cial arrangements were made. it has been decided to have Judge John w. Banks of this city come to the S3Nee- rior court here on February 1T and hear divorce matters for the balance of the week.
 Judge Banks, who took his seat upon the Superior court bench on Jan- uary 1, was not signed for any par ticular place for the week of Feb ruary IT so he agreed to dispose of some of the surplus cases. As the court hears only six uncontested cases each week the work of ddsposing of such matters is rather slow but it is , thought that Judge Banks in the course of a week will be able to ma terially reduce the docket During the week of February 25 Judge Banks will l hold court in Danbury.
