For a long time wanted by the po- Ice for his. connection with the at-
 tempted burglary at the home of 1921, Pasquale Capolda. alias Harris. was arrested by the Waterbury po- lice at his home in that city yester. day. Circulars with a description of the robbers. asking the cooperation of the various police departments throughout the United States in the capture of the marauder had been sent broadcast by the local depart ment immediately after they had he was implicated in the attempted burglary.
 >- It was known that he had made his home In Waterbury and the po- lice of that city had kept constant watch at his home, and former rem dezvous in the hope that he might return. Their vigilance. however. was not rewarded until last night, Der of the Waterbury police force as he was leaving his home. He was immediately taken to police head quarters where his identity was def1- thorities were immediately informed of his capture. Detective Cury of the Detective bureau left early this morning for Waterbury and Is ex- pected to return with the prisoner this afternoon.
 Capolda had been traced all over the country by various police de- partments and about month ago it was reported that he had been cap tured in Cleveland, Ohio. This re- port was later discredited, although 1t was admitted that he was under surveillance in that city but in some unknown manner had eluded his purSuers.
 Capolda in company with four other men: Thomas McNalIy of Med ford, Mass. who was shot and killed while trying to make his escape and Paul Rossberg and Robert Weison, of New Haven who made good their es- cape at the time but were later cap tured, and another unidentified man who did escape are alleged to have attempted to burglarize the Dow home in the early hours of the morning of November second. They were diScov- cred by Albert Dow who instantly pro- cured his rifle and after commanding them to stop--a command they failed to heed-fred. McNally was nor tally injured by the bullet and later died at a local hospital
 WefsOn and Rossberg were later traced to New Haven where they were arrested and held for the local au- thorities. They were brought here to stand trial before the City court and because of the serious nature of their crime were bound over to the higher court. The fifth member of the party is still at large.
 Robert Weison and Paul Rossberg, held at the North avenue Jail since the robbery at the Dow home, had their cases nolled in the Superior court, criminal side, this morning. They were represented by Public De- fender Robert DeForest.

7o,Or, Manager Hunter
 To Hold Official Reins In Strdfford For 30 Days

The Stratford council had another special meeting at the Town hall last night but the august ant much press agente1 body didn't 10 anything spe- ciaI' The meeting attended by large and orderly crowd If citizens. was a call to arnts by Robert TurEey, Third district, President of the Coun- cfl. The next and only other official act was to speedily adjourn. The council seems to be in full detreat, much like the Germans in .he sew enth reel of the -Four Horsemen.'
 Apparently the Tuesday night mass meeting at which the matter of a referendum to decide the fate of Town Manager R. H. Hunter was de- cided has been the battle of the Marne, as far as the political fracas in Stratford is concerned. A decid- ed change from the stubborn attl- tude was noted in the council when that body last night decided to let Town Manager R. H. Hunter hold the reinS another 30 days. or until after the referendum is held. It Is predicted that the voters of the Town will ask for Hunters retention. It will then remain to be seen how seri- ous some of the councilmen were when they stated that ''they wouldn't stay if Hunter tId." forecast this morning would indicate that Hunter is in Stratford for a stay extending from now on.''
 President Turney made 8 state ment in which he said 1t would be useless for the council to further at- tempt to buck the wishes of a major ity' of the voters. and that there seemed nothing to do but to allow the voters to put their attitude in writing Say 1t with ballots. and not bullets will be the slogan in Strat- ford for the next few weeks.

 Ziernan Case NolIed. Joseph Ziernan, 22, arrested with O'Donne1, had his case nolled yes- terday afternoon, when evidence was produced to show that he had merely been an unfortunate passenger in the Packard car that was stolen in New York.
 O'DonneH Is believed to have been under the influence of Mike Serino. yesterday sentenced to a term of from 10 to 15 years on a manslaughter charge in connection with the shoot ing of Louis Apecilli. Serino is be- Hsved to have had a bad influence over the youth.
 No Action Against Hunt.
 It Is decided as impnobable that any action will be taken against Thos. Hunt, for 27 years respected and efficient member of the Norwalk police department. Following charges that Hunt had been involved with Serino in an automobile case. and other du- bious transactions, Hunt, who had reached the grade of sergeant, resign ed. without public explanation Much regret has been expressed in Nor walk that Hunt has become under the shadow of the charges.
 It seems also improbable that there is anything more than mere ru- nor in the report that Chief William R. Pennington of the Norwalk police force will resign or be reduced in rank. Those close to the situation say that Pennington is still chief. and will be for some time to come.
 Failed to Appear.
 Edward Westervelt, charged with a burglary committed at the Commun- ity House, Bethel the first day of the year, failed to appear yesterday and today, although witnesses against him were present. His bond of $500 was called this morning.
 The case agai ust Patsy Pactfco charged with assault with attempt to kill, was no11ed. Herbert Denton, also had chare against him nolled He was charged with burglary. James Turtro charged with adultery, hke- wise had his case no1led.

Dublin, March 2-(By the A P.)-When the Dail Eireanr resumed its session this morn. ing Charles Burgess, who was minister of defense in the cab inet of Ramon DeValera, mov- ed that the future meetings be transferred from University College to the Mansion House.
 MT. DeValera seconded the motion He added that he wanted the official reports of the proceedings publish ed, as the newspaper reports contain ed misrepresentations. At least it was necessary he said, to hold the meetings where the public could be present and see what was done.
 Sea-. Milroy, opposing the motion said that partisan crowds disturbing E the proceedings were not wanted William Cosgrove, minister of local government, declared the desire for publicity expressed by the other side was a pretense and that DeVaLera's s party was in reality afraid of the peo- pie, who would soon, at an election. let the anti-treaty faction know what they thought of it.
 John T. O'Ke11y said no parliament would have excluded the public to which George Gayan Duffy retorted would allow itself to be swamped by thousands of people.
 The motion to transfer the sessions to the Mansion House was defeated 49 to 40, they ote. which was on a roll call, being cast along party lines. { Questions were then in order. Answering Sean McEntee regard ling the disturbances in Belfast, MT. Griffith said the difficulty in dealing with this matter was owing to the delay in setting up the Free State, which McEntee and "the Belfast Pogronnists'' were united in oppos- ing.
 Questioned as to whether he en- dorsed Winston ChurchilPs views with regard to his (Griffith's) posi- ton and that of the provisional gov ernment, MT. Griffith said he would accept no statement of his position made by any Englishman. Every body, he added, knew his position was to carry out the treaty.
 Dublin, March 2.-The widow of Limerick, moved in the Dali Eireann the late Lord Mayor O'CaIlaghan, of today that the voting age of women fin Ireland be reduced from 30 to 21 years.
 Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith opposed the motion on ground that 1t would make 1t necessary to compile a new register of enfranchised persons and delay the general election.
