PUTNAM

An impression seems to be gaining ground in official circles here that there is something fishy about the hold-up story reported to the police last week, when car that was burned into worthless wreck was represented to the police to have been set afire by bandits after they had robbed the New Haven men who. were riding in the machine.
 There is no question about the car be- ing reduced to junk by a fire. What re- mains of the machine bears witness as to what happened to it Just what hap pened before it was set afire is what. is puzzling the officials who seemed on Tuesday to be inclined to agree that there wasn't any holdup. Local and state officers have been checking up various stories and points pertainfng to the affair and their inves- tigations have led them to very seriously doubt that highwaymen were operating in that section on the night in question. The following from a Hartford paper | of Tuesday is of special local interest: Not only are there two "Macdonalds' | in the new senate, but it would not be surprising if they both landed on the same committee. A survey Of the sen ate roll in an effort to determine "ha' l committees different members are ap'
 parently best qualified to serve, leads 1 prognosticators to the conclusion tna'
 there are two members pre-eminently nt ted for the committee on roads, bridges l and rivers. Senator Archibald Macdon ald of Putnam and Senator James h 1 Macdonald of New. Haven.
 It appears safe to assume that th'
 senator from Putnam will land th chairmanship of this important commit tee. which will be required to pass upoi not only the extensive highway contfn nation program contemplated by tn state highway depa artment but the vita changes proposed in the motor vehicl law. This assumption is made in con
 sideration of the fact that the Putnar senator has been identified with tha
 committee longer than any other mem
 ber of the senate has been connect"
 with any committee. having been hous , chairman in 1913 and 1915 and senat
 chairman in 1917 and 1919.
 On the other hand, the MacDonal from New Haven, oldest member of tn 1921 senate. comes to the legislatur with the experience of having served fc many years as state highway commi'
 sioner prior to the administration

manded that Ruskin get out Of the

revolver lying on the seat by his side
thinking of nothing but to protect the

street he raised the revolver and fired
point blank at the smallest of the Two
colored men. The bullet struck its
mark, ~ploughing its way into the
negro's brain and causing instant
death.
The other negro highwayman (the
one Identified by Miss Ra@Iin yester-
day a%fternoon) was on the alert how
ever and almost at the same instant
opened fire on Rafflin. The shots
were fatal and by the lime neighbors
arrived he was dead.
According TO Miss Rafflin's story at
the time, the negro did not modest her.
the only reason that he did not though
was because he was pressed for time
and wanted to get away with the loot.
Cody he leaned over the two bodies,
made a thorough search and after
telling Miss Raflin to walk ahead

Radium OF San Francisco hospital
Is missing. No such thing will happen
in Philadelphia-not IL it can be pre-
vented by Director Furhush, in charge Of

the Philadelphia General Hospital.
Fortress is the only term that ade-
quately describes the little room in
which highly skilled workmen are rush
ing to completion the laboratory equip
ment.
The room Is about twelve by fifteen
feet and entirely white tiled Its only
window is high, almost touching the
ceiling.
The radium. $3.50, 900 for the purchase
and housing of which was recently ap-
propriated by the council, would fit into
two thimbles. 1t could slip through
ones fingers more quickly than 1t takes
TO tell. 1t is much like table salt-gray-
ish and unimportant looking.
The safe is built at one side to give
space for the highly scientific and intri-
cate plant that draws off the radium
rays.
For treatment DR.. George T..
Bevier. acting medical director of the
hospital, explained. 1--WE will use the
emanations, or the rays, and not the

its little safe and in fifteen hundred
