Bohemian Breaks Up
 Seven Die
Several Others Injured As Crew Leave
 Ship. 3 BOATS GET
 ASHORE SAFELY

Halifax, March 2 - Seven lives are believed to have been lost when the crew of the Ley- land Liner Bohemian abandon ed their ship as she was break ing up on the Sambro Ledges his morning. Several others were injured.
 The ship, which was bound from Boston to Liverpool, ran aground in a ing to put into Halifax harbor early yesterday. Sixty-four passengers were taken off safely in the morning but most of the crew of 120 remained on board all day.
 Late last night a strong swell devel- oped and the ship began to pound heavily. At 4 o'clock this morning it was decided to abandon her. Three of the ships boats got away safely but the remainder of the men were unable to take to the boats, according to the reports received here. The tug Roebling came as close to the strand. ed ship as possible and the transfer of those still on board was attempted by life lines. It is believed that the loss of life occurred during this oper- ation.
 Soon after the crew had left the vessel she broke in two and sank.

 rested.

Because he disobeyed the orders oi Traffic Officer Harold Beardsworth. and entered Harrison street yesterday afternoon while a funeral was pass ing through that thoroughfare, Aristo Tomasetti, of 146 North Washington avenue, a truck driver employed by the City Health Department, was placed under arrest, charged with breach of the peace.

 1cer Beardsworth stated that he was doing duty at the corner of Harrison street and Fairfield avenue yesterday afternoon, and had received orders to allow no vehicles to enter Harrison street until the funeral had passed.

ATTORNEYS SUM
 UP STATEMENTS
 ON ZONE SYSTEM
Claim Made Connecticut Go. Didn't Treat Patrons
 Alike.

Hartford, March 2-Ora1 arguments summing up the statements of the Connecticut Company and of the towns protesting against the zone sys- tenn were heard by the public utilities commission in the capitol today. The commission set a limit of 5 minutes to each of the arguments of the at- torneys with Harry M. Burke, Man. chester commuters counsel getting half an hour, and Joseph F. Berry, company's attorney. limited to one hour.
 Corporation Counsel Dryhurst of Meriden claimed the Connecticut Company had failed to treat patrons of its lines alike. He said the conn pany's stand in the six-cent fare case was directly opposite to that now taken. He quoted from the company's brief to the effect that there was nd delay in boarding the cars, and answered it with the statement that there was riot night and day in every city in boarding cars.
 The claim that the Connecticut company brief insulted the commis- sion and the petitioners, in it's brief was made by MT. Dryhurst. The particular part in the brief complain ed of was that in which the state ments of the vice president of the Manchester commuters association were a dream
 R. L. Gideon, appearing for the town of Newington in place of Judge Joseph P. Futile, asserted that 'ar. bitrary rise'' from six to sixteen cents in the rate between Hartford anc Newington was negotiable. Judge N. c. Downs, representing Stamford, asked that an impression the Connecticut company brief hat given, that the whole population O. Stamford was not against the zont system, be corrected. He asserted l ''glaring instances of jacked-ul | fares.'' He claimed that the compan. had taken care of' some industrie and had ignored others.
 1 Judge Alexander Amott, counse | for the town of Manchester, declare | that the company did not play fa1 with the commission in putting tn l zone system in operation wfthou
 putting the matter of increased fare
 before it.

WRITES
 TO RAILROAD UNIONS
 FOR REPRESENTATIVES
Companies and Men Each to Name Six Men Wilson to Appoint Three Representatives of the Public-MajO ;ty Decisions to Rule.

Washington, March 2-Pres- ident Wilson is preparing to set up the tribunal provided in the railroad bill for considering the wage demands of the 100000 railroad employees. It was an- nOunced at the White House today that he was writing to the unions and railroad compa- nies asking that they nominate representatives to the wage board.
 Under the law the unions name six representatives, and the roads six. From each of these groups, the Presi- dent will select three, and in addition he will name three representativ tives of the public. The board of nine, as thus constituted, will be subject to Senate approval.
 Decisions of the board will be by majority vote. provided enough ma jority is of the public group. The law does not make acceptance of the find ingS mandatory on either the workers or the roads, but members of Congress during debate on the measure ex- pressed the belief that public opinion would compel acceptance
 Representative of the brother hoods still are meeting in Washing ton considering the presidents reply to their wage demands in which he promised that if the new law did not provide for a tribunal for settlement of wage controversies he would use his efforts to have a board appoint ed.
 In asking the president to veto the railroad bill, the railroad men said the machinery set up by law would result in a delay of many months ir the settlement of their demands.

FOR TWENTY YEARS
 TO GET THIEF
Unknown Confidence Man Still Working Old
 Game.

A man whose identity is unknown to the police, but who has worked a clever confidence game throughout the state for over 20 years, entered a store owned by M. Miller, 1762 Main street yesterday afternoon, and pos ing as a collector from the firm of N. Harris Confectionery Co.,, 793 Main street, collected bill of $1390 and made his getaway. The affair was reported to the police last night.
 The confidence man is described as being of medium height and weight, and is apparently about 50 years of age. He is always well dressed. has gray hair and a gray mustache, is rather distin nguished looking. and has little difficulty in gaining the conf dence of his intended victims.
 Captain Cronan asserts that the man who worked the bill collecting game yesterday is the gentleman whom the police have been trying to catch for 20 years. He has obtained money under false pretenses in nearly every city in the state, and appears to make regular rounds at various times of the year. He has visited Bridgeport on numerous occasions and has posed as a representative ot the Aeker, Merrill, Condit and com pany, and the Park and Tilford com pany and many other well known concerns. After each visit, a, number of local merchants have reported that the stranger made a touch on them for cash some times amounting to hun dreds of dollars. All local merchants are warned to beware of the stranger
