>Grillo Bound Over to High
Court For Break At Os-
good Avenue Home.

.Patrolman William Doherty captur-
ed James Grillo at the point of his re-
volver early this morning in vacant
lot on Pennington avenue, and
brought him to police headquarters
where charges of breach of the peace,
burglary and carrying obscene pic
lures were lodged against him.
Judge B. A. Alling found probable
cause and on the burglary count bound
him over at the next term of the Su-
perior court, opening at Hartford on
the first Tuesday in December. Bonds
were fixed at $4,000. Prosecuting At
torney Albert A. Greenberg asked for
the high bond, explaining that it may
be possible to link the accused up with
a number of burg1aries about the city.
Policeman Doherty was detailed to
investigate, with Policemen Gustav
He1lberg, Michael Brephy and Schmitt,
a report that the home of E. B. Beach
on Osgood avenue, had been entered.
About $1.50 in silver and about 25
pennies were reported to have been

SINN FEINERS ARE
PLEASED WITH NOTE
Opinion Now is that Way to Settle
ment of Irish Question
is Clear

Dublin, Sept. 29.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-The reply of Prime
Minister Lloyd George to Eamond De
Valera was received at the Mansion
House at 1870 o'clock this afternoon.
1t was read by Mr.. De Valera and
Arthur Griffith, foreign minister in
the Dali cabinet, who were awaiting it.
A reply may be drafted today and
placed before the Dali Cabinet, which
will meet tomorrow.
The Sim Fein leaders were agreea-
bly, surprised by the wording of Mr..
Lloyd Georges reply, and one member
of the Dali cabinet who saw it eX-
pressed the view that public confidence
in the conference being held was
justified.
Forecasts in the newspapers had
led the. republican leaders to believe
had succeeded in securing the III
sertion of conditions which they must
refuse. A Dali minister said this after
noon:
THE reply certainly is better than
we expected"
The general feeling here is that Mr..
Lloyd Georges invitation for a con-
ference on October II will be ac-
cepted. The whole temper of the Sim
Fein appear to have changed for the
better and optimism once more pre-
walls here. The sole difficulty in the
dispatch of an imm ediate answer to
Mr.. Lloyd George is said to be that all
the Dahl cabinet members cannot be
reached this evening.

NEVERMORE ) CENT
TROLLEY FARE HERE
Might Come Down, Declared
General Manager of
Company.

The hearing requested by the City
of New Britain of the Public Utili-
ties Commission was held today in
the Grammar school auditorium. be-
ginning at 10 a. m. 1t was well at
tended, and many spoke in favor of
lower fare on the trolleys. The fight
between jitney and trolley was lost
sight of more or less in the matter
of fares.
General Manager c.. X. Punder-
ford spoke toward the close of the
session, trying earnestly to justify the
action of the Connecticut company
and trying to show the evil results
that might follow the line of action
being taken by the city.
Mr.. Punderford said that New
Britain was one of 125 cities in the
United States where a 10 cent fare
was being charged, and that, to meet
the obligations of the company 10
cents must be charged.
Mayor Curtis asked him very gent
Iy: Then in order to clear your
skirts
Il don't have to clear my skirts"
snapped the other.
Then resumes the mayor, in
order to pay up you may have to
charge 20 cent fares according to your
reasoning.
No" responded Mr.. Punderford,
Il think that would break u.s.
The Mayor Speaks
The mayor, representing the city al
the request of which the hearing was
given, opened the speaking. He ex-
planned that the city had not parici-
pated in the former hearing, officially,
nor did it know what action the Public
Utilities Commission would take. The
city did not believe, under the law,
that it was its duty to take part
He went on to say that great disap-
pointment and complaint had come to
the mayor over the decisions of the
comm isSiOn. When many citizens of
the city, including manufacturers and
people who did not use the jitneys,
but who recognized the need of better
and cheaper transportation had come
to him. he had felt that it was a city
affair and that steps should be taken.

The two platoon system was adopted
in Springfield in January. 1910, he
added. and with the adoption of this
system an increase of Al per cent in
the number of men was added to the
force. The first platoon works from
S a. m. until p. M. the second pla-

SGT. A. J. RICHARDSON AND HIS
TWO SONS ARRESTED TODAY
Schultz INDICTED TWICE BY GRAND
JURY FOR MURDER; TRIAL NEXT WEEK
Shailorville StOrekeeper Ac-
cused of Brutal Sayings
Tried to Burn Evidence.

Middletown. Conn, Sept. 29.-Emil
Schultz, storekeeper of Shailerville was
indicted twice by the Middlesex county
grand jury today on charges of MUIR
der.
The first indictment was on the COM
plant that by use of a shotgun Schultz
caused the death of Joseph Ball, his
wife, Mary, and their son, Jacob, aged
II, on December 10, 1915. The Sec
ond count in this is that Schultz caus-
ed the death of the three Balls by arson
in that he set a fire the house in which
the family lived.
Second Indictment.
The second indictment of murder is
that in which Schultz is alleged to have
killed Dennis La Due, a farm hand in
his employ, about April "a, 1921, by
use of a shotgun. In this latter in
stance the state claims that Schultz
took La Dues body into a woodland
area and burned it in a brush fire. This
fire is said to have spread to timber
nearby.
Schultz will be put to plea at ses-
sion of the superior court here next
Wednesday.
The grand jury heard evidence yes
terday and completed its deliberations
today returning the two true DlllS- III
is understood that the states claims
as to Schutte's alleged connection with
the deaths of the three members of the
Ball family and of the farmland La
Due were presented in much detail.
Conducted Grocery
Schultz, who kept a grocery store in
Shailerville, town of Haddam, was ar
rested several months ago on complaint
of a son that his father had threatened
his mother and had chased her, gun
in hand. Afte< arrest on this seemingly
minor charge the state police, from in
formation received began to inquire into
the disappearance of La Due, farm
hand employed by Schultz. Captain
Robert Hurley of the state police an
nounced that evidence was in hand zas-
nounced that evidence was in hand bas-
made by a young son of Schultz that
there had been a dispute between
Schultz and La Due, and that after 1t
the latter was not seen again. Cap
tain Hurley searched nearby timberland
and in the ashes of what had been a
bonfire he found bones.
The officer then inquired into the
burning of a house in which the Ball
family lived in which the three in
mates lost their lives. Neighbors had
thought the house had caught fire from
a stove inside and that the family were
trapped inside.

Gairloch, Scotland, Sept. 29, (By

note from Eamon De Valera which
was dispatched to Dublin early today
follows:
Sir:
His Majesty's government have
given close and earnest consideration
to the correspondence which has
passed between us since their invita-
ton to you to send delegates to a
conference at Inverness.
In spite of their sincere desire for
peace, and, in spite of the more con-
ciliatory tone of your latest commun-
ications they cannot enter into a con-
ference upon the basis of this cor
respondence.
Britain's Last Word.
Notwithstanding your personal as
surance to the contrary, which they
much appreciate, it might be argued
in the future that the acceptance of
a conference on this basis had in
yolved them in a recognition which
no British government can afford. On
this point they must guard themselves
against any possible doubt. There is
no purpose to be served by any fur
ther interchange of explanatory and
argumentative communications upon
this subject. The position taken up
by his majestys government is funda-
