to Frank Martin. 10, to explain how
he happened to have in his room at
an East Fourth street hotel more
than 200 women's dresses. most Of

place.
Martin, who is thought to be known
also as a Wilkes Huerra, was arrested
on Main street and booked on sus-
picion of burglary.
According to police they had in.
formation some time ago that Martin
or Huerra was worth investigating.
They located his room, the second ho-
tel room they had found rented by the

women's garments. While they were
gathering up the dresses, Martin came
in.
He escaped. and fled down Main
street, with the detectives in pursuit.

What will be, perhaps, the frs attempt anywhere to restrict the is suance of motor vehicle registration to financially responsible people vii be undertaken in Connecticut begin ming January 1. From that time on according to the current issue of thu motor vehicle department bulletin applicants for registration certificates who are convicted of reckless driving including speeding, operating whil' intoxicated, or evading responsibility or who cause the death of or injury to. any person, or cause damage C property of at least si00. will be re auired to produce satisfactory evi dence of his or her ability to pay fol damages which his car might do. uf to s11 ,000.
 Four different methods by whiei such applicants may qualify for re gistration under the new law, whief was adopted in the 1925 session of the Legislature. have been provided as follows:
 The Four Methods
 1. By insurance. Blanks are to be furnished to all insurance companiof doing business in the state upon which they are to certify to the department that an insurance policy covering the liability under the statute has bee- issued to the applicant for registra. ton. The financial responsibility re dnired is that it must be sufficient te satisfy any claim for damages by reason of personal injury to. or deatf of. any person, to at least SIG. 1000 and for property damage to the extent of $i ,000
 2. By filing a bond, which, in the case of a real estate bond, may he made lien on the property specified by the bondsman. In instances where real estate bonds are offered the de pertinent will pass on the security and make n charge of not more thar sl0 for searching the title.
 2. By deposit of a sum of money with the state treasurer In such cas- es. the state treasurer will issue q receipt for the deposit and pay inter est on the deposit. if so directed by the state board of control. at q rate of not more than five per cent a year
 i. By deposit of collateral with the state treasurer The eommis sioner of motor vehicles is the deter mining authority of the state as it the amount and kind of collateral that will be accepted.
 Certain Drivers Exempt
 Applicants for registration certifi cates who have good driving records will be exempt, unless they subse quently put themselves under the re quirements of the law, by their owr acts Furtv-two per cent of 0onnec tieut motor vehicle registrants ar, alreadV insured. This is evident the biggest percentage existing in an! state
 The experience of the motor vehicl, department shows that about fiftee' per cent of the states registrants arr involved each year in motor vehicle accidents or convictions required t' be reported to the department About half of these reports coneeri i happenings where no particular dam age has been done and no depart
