Waterbury, Conn.,, May % Promptly at 10 o'clock this morning in accordance with a. vote taken at a meeting held last night, hundreds of machinists employed in the various factories of the city laid down their tools and joined in a walkout- Esti- mates as to the number on strike vary from 200 to 2,000.

MAN IS HELD FOR CRIME Homicide Resulted From
 Quarrel Over
 Woman.

Waterbury, Conn.,, May 2e-Forto Streanza, of 1919 North Main street. Bridgeport, was charged with murder today and held without bonds until the coroner has completed his i'm quiry. The homicide resulted from a. fight between Steranza and the man he killed, Luigi Giglioth, 36, of '127 Wolcott street, this city. The former has knife wounds in the left ear and neck. These wounds were dressed at the hospital before Steran- "a was locked up.
 Police inquiry appeared to show that Steranza followed a girl, said to be his sweetheart from Bridgeport to this city because, he said, he had heard she was to meet another man. The girl met Giglotti at the corner of Meadow and Canal streets and where the fight and shooting occurred. The police learn that Giglotti was friend of the man whom the girl expected to meet and was not the man Steranza said he expected the girl would see. Giglotti was shot four times, one cartridge contents tearing away con- siderable of his head. The police are running down the versions of stories told by friends of all the parties. Local police say they have no re- cord of Steranza

REI)DING HOME NOW
 URGED FOR MEMORIAL
Especial to The Tmes.)


 Bedding, May 2oAIat year mem bers of the State Park Commission came to this town prospecting for a suitable location for a state park Lately there has been advanced the proposition that the state acquire the former Mark Twain house in Hart ford so that it may be preserved as a lasting memorial of the famous author. Why not amend the latter project by substituting Stormfie1d, the Bedding Mark Twain home, for the Hartford home and by the acquisition of the Bedding property obtain both the desired memorial and the desired park.
 There are obstacles in the way of securing the Hartford house and grounds which do not exist as regards now owned by parties who purpose it's conversion into an apartment house and whose selling price is s300,000 although it cost them but s51,0OO. The attorney general has given an opinion to the effect that the state possesses the power to obtain the property by condemnation. a process that would probably permit of 1ts acquisition for much less than $300,- 900. There is, however. no money available for paying the amount an appraisal committee might fix and the next legislature might refuse to vote the required appropriation. In that

PRICES OF CIGARS
 MAY BE RAISED

The manufacturers of smokes in New Haven have increased the price of their product, and it is expected Bridgeport will probably follow their lead. Cigars which were five cents will now sell-for not less than ten cents. The increase on all former five cent cigars is $1.5O a thousand, on all ten cent cigars s2 thousand and on former fifteen cent cigars $3 a thousand.
 The manufacturers will have to class all the five cent cigars as c Revenue class instead of B as at preS- ent This will raise the revenue tax per 1000 cigars from six to nine dollars.
 Manufacturers in this city expect that the cigar makers will ask for an increase of $2 per thousand which will increase their wages from $22 50 a thousand to S24.50.
 The cigar Makers Union here has for some time intended to ask for a raise, and this boost in the prices of cigars will give them an opportunity.

IT PAYS TO BE
 STAR WITNESS Reported Mary Wilson Was Motored About City
 Yesterday.

Sometime it pays to be a prisoner, especially if one is being held as a star witness for the prosecution.

 It was reported this morning, that May was taken from an isolation cot taSe at Hillside home yesterday, and given a fine auton oloile ride around the city Included in the party were several members of the new "vice squad' and a woman who is in the employ of the Burns agency. The po- lice department automobile with a po-
 lice chauffeur driving, was used for the tour and it is said that "a delight fu1 time was enjoyed by all" In ad- Ation to this, it is reported that May has received flowers and boxes of candy from goodness since her arrest and incarceration. It is said that May commented ap- proving1y upon the beauties of Bridge port, during the excursion yesterday and also talked quite fiuently of New York The girl is said to have dis played quite an intimate knowledge o1
 the workings of the police in that city

 prisoners have pretty good time af, ter all.

TIME UPSETS
 TRIP SCHEDULE E

Plans for the trip of the Bridge port children to West Point, N. r., on June 5, have received a slight set back owing to the difference in time schedule of the Hudson River boats and that at West Point. The cadets are following out standard time, while the schedule of boats is on the daylight saving time. This makes a difference because the time of the West Point dress parade, according to the two schedules, will come one hour after the boat they were scheduled to return on. An effort is now being made to have the school children re- turn home by train.

GET MEN WHO
 ROBBED TAILOR

Captured recently in Lawrence, Mass, where they were wanted for two burglaries amounting to more than s1O,00o, two men who gave their names as John Gordon and Walter Vessel have confessed to stealing $6,00O worth of goods from the tailor shop of A.

 Contingents of British cavalry and infantry are arriving in Ireland but the totad number of troops now in the island is still considerably below that of a year ago. Many men then on duty had enlisted for the duration of the war and have since been demob- iized.
