Plainville, March 27.-F. Ivan Ben iamin of Park street became violently insane here last night at about 10:30 o'clock and after breaking several panes of glass at his home and var iCus articles of furniture, he made an attempt to jump out of the second story of the house and failing in this, went into the street and, chased by q crowd of about 50 persons, climbed trees, damaged picket fences, and cut strange capers all along East Main street, to West Main to Pierce streets until he was finally caught and sub dued in front of the church of Our Lady of Mercy on Broad street. He was taken to New Britain and placed in a padded cell at police headuuar- ters, and is in much more settled state today.
 Benjamin, who is comm only known as the middleweight wrestling cham pion of New England states, appeared around the bowling alleys and in cth- CT parts of the town earlier in the evening and his actions were remark ed by some, as strange, though no one suspected insanity.

No settlement Near

Paris, March 27 (By the Associated Press) to information reaching Paris the Turks and the all lies arc still far apart on many points connected with the peace settlement and it is expected the resumption of the Near East conference will de- pend upon the nature of the reply sent by the Angora government when it receives the allies answer soon to be despatched, to the Turkish counter proposals.
 It is understood the allied com- munication to Angora will contain list of points upon which the allies who arc in complete accord are not disposed to grant any notifications. It seems probable these include the method of handling the Ottoman debt and also the judicial regime for for eigners in Turkey, in substitution for the capitulations to which Turkey is hostile. st f
 On the other hand the economic capitulations which were the chicf causes of the break at the Lausanne conference can be arranged it is be-. lfeved by advocating the possibility of settlement of disputes directly be- tween the Ottoman government and the foreign holders of concessions.

 Fiendish Murder

Detroit, March 27.-Acting on the theory that Joseph Campbell, super intendent of reduction company who disappeared February 10, was slain and his body destroyed by running it through machinery used in the manu- fracture of fertilizer, county authori- ties today detained George Reynolds, night fireman at the plant. Investi- cation is said to have disclosed that the grinding machinery in the plant was in operation from II D. m. until 5 a. m. on the night of February 10, contrary to custom.
 It is declared Campbell and Key holds were alone in the plant that night and that no evidence can be found that the superintendent ever left the place. Deputy Sheriff Frank a. Longman investigating the case ex- ore ssed the belief Campbell was slain because he possessed information that machinery had been stolen from the plant.
