New London. Jan. 21 R>-Virtual- ly every male employe of the Con- necticut Power Company in this city appeared at the local police station today to have their finger prints taken, following report few days ago that there had been a theft at one of the company offices. The finger prints were being taken by an expert who was brought here for the purpose. the local department being without finger print paraphernalia.
 The proceedings which have been under way for the past two days have been yelled in the utmost se- crecy. Except for the wholesale ap- pearance of employees of the com pany at the police station and the presence of the finger print expert there Is no indication of what has transpired inside the private room used to take the finger prints.

It is felt by the depart ment that such law ought to cause it's reasonable provisions coudl allow parking time enough for the transaction of business er- rands and at the same time pre- vent longtime parking in front of stores.
 Along the same line. the bulle- tin discusses the traffic danger caused by big motor busses stop ping in the highway to pick up or discharge passengers. It suggests that police regulations might be made permitting such busses to stop for such purpose only at designated stations, and that the plan might be extended further and busses required to go off the travelled portion of the highway before stopping.
 Sees Clear Highways in Future
 The commercial motor vehicle is discussed in the same vein. Even tually," the bulletin says. it will be the law that no motor vehicle be allowed to stop or park on the travelled portion of a highway" A thorough discussion of the question in the present session of the legis- lature is suggested,
 The automatic traffic signal is endorsed except at points where there is so little traffic that the signal simply slows up traffic. A remedy is suggested for the condi- ton which now tempts many au- tomobilists to speed up after pass ing one signal in the hope of pass ing the next before it is set against him.
 The "boulevard" or "arterial highway" system, employed in the west, which gives traffic on the main road right of way over traf- ic on side streets, could not be made an inclusive state law ap- plicable to all parts of Connecticut. the bulletin says, but 1t says that there is no reason why its use as a traffic instrument could not safe ly be permitted where conditions warrant. There are many streets in Connecticut cities where this plan could be used as a valuable means for removing congestion" it says. Since the state law grants right of way to vehicles coming from the right, however, change in the state law would be neces- sary to give cities the necessary latitude to this end.

Frenchmen Organize
Wine Tasting Society
To Enter Competition

PARIS, Feb. u R-Wine tasting
as a popular "art" is being sponsored
by new society. Friends of French
Wines"
Every Frenchman, this body thinks,
ought to recognize the principal wines
by their taste, just as one is able
to distinguish between foods or
identify people.
A tasting competition, under the
patronage of the minister of agri-
culture, is planned, with prizes 20
attract the publie.up
A dozen different wines will be
served and the amateur tasters will
be asked to name the wine and the
place where it is grown.
Expert wine tasters are fairly nu7
nerous in France and some of them
are credited with remarkable palates.
At the big annual sales of wines,
buyers rely on their judgment to
spend fortunes, usually for wines
whose full flavor and quality will
not develop for several years. The
faster seldom swallows the wine.
Between varieties some take q puff
from cigarette to clear the previous
taste from the palate and there are
those who take a bite of Roquefort
or other cheese, some of which have
a peculiar quality of restoring taste
! to normal where certain wines are
concerned

Commenting yesterday to Dispatch
reporter on the appointment of j. A.
Mahoney to the state highway commits
sion of New Mexico, John B. Crowell,
cashier of the Bank of Douglas, said
that he considered this appointment
as one of the finest things for this dis
trict that has happened in many moons.
Crowell stated that Mahoney is the
first man ever appointed to the New
Mexico highway body from the south
ern part Of the state and that in addi-
ton to this some Indication of the in
fluential position of Mahoney may be
obtained by the fact that he is a demo-
crat and has his position in republic
can administration.
The local banker brought out that
Mahoney will probably be able to Sc
cure funds for needed work on the
Bankhead highway, which will be OF
great benefit to Douglas, as it is over
this route that all of the traffic from
the east enters this city. In addition
to this benefit the banker says that
he expects an appropriation in New
Mexico to link up the southern route
probably at Deming, Mahoney's home,
with the New Mexico Hot Springs

was catapulted from his flocks as
a shepherd onto one of the great
thrones of the east
With a fabulous income and the
power of life and death over millions
OF subjects, he proposes to surrender
more of his power to the common
people he has ruled so long. The
plan he contemplates embraces the
establishment of a parliament similar
to thai in England, with a consti-
tuition to fit the scheme. This is not
his first innovation, however, for his
principality long has been known as
the model state of the Indian Empire
and he has for many years had a
legislative council to assist in the
government.
AT the age of 13 the present Gael
war was known as Sayaji Rao, a
simple shepherd of the hills. He
was adopted, with permission of the
British government, after the fall
of the Maharaja Milhar Rao, who was
deposed in 1875 for misrule.
Written history is somewhat vague
about his childhood, but in time
there came to the palace at Baroda
an incongruous figure-a plebeian
youth who was the "son of a thousand
princes
The young Gaekwar was given a
thorough education, both Oriental and
western, and was schooled in state
craft With this equipment he began
his beneficient rule, pouring his great
wealth into the public Golfers for the
uplift of his people. He became
known as an intellectual man, who
abhorred intemperance and vice in
any form. fr
! Long ago he made schooling COM
pulsory in his state. He is particularly
interested in the children of his realm
and provided them with educational
textbooks.
| The Gaekwar's life has not been
without it's trials and ,tribulationS,
however He was for time in bad
favor with his king emperor, George
V, because of a sensational episode
| at Delhi in 1911. His sons and daugh-
ters have caused him some worry.

into the life of Harvard some Is

The skulls We're found yesterday
by Harry, the IL year son of George
Wilson, q negro who leased the
owner, Mrs Sally Robinson, moved
to Detroit
Efforts to check the movements
of Coyner while he was in Detroit
and Ferndale were not successful
and lead Ferndale police to believe
that the skulls might have been
gathered over a period of years.
The theory was substantiated by
the fact that there has been no
grave robberies in Detroit and VII
cinity for seven or eight years.
Neither Detroit nor Ferndale po
lice planned to go to Michigan City
to question Coyner The negro al.
mitted after his arrest in Indiana
last November that he had taken
the body of a white woman from
her grave and concealed it in the
basement of vacant house. His
reason, he said, was that he wanted
the skull of woman. The body
had been buried ten years.
Today, however Coyner denied
that he had made this admission.
Warden Daily of the Michigan City
prison recalled that Coyner had told
him upon his Incarceration that he
had formerly lived in Detroit and
worked in an automobile factory, al
though he professed not to remem-
rbe the naGs of the plant. He also

MOORE
AS STAGE CAR
OF NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Feb. u P)-AIexanGer
P. Moore, on time publisher and
former ambassador to Spain, has
been approached by theatrical pro-
ducers with the proposition that he
become the czar of the New York
stage, the New York American says,
Mr.. Moore evaded answering but
left the impression, the American
says, that with proper support he
might accept.
Mr.. Moore is quoted as disapprov.
ing of present police censorship OF
the New York stage, He said "The
method pursued by the police, in
raiding these plays and arrestins
those connected with them only can
result in a series of fights back and
forth with injunctions and reprisals
the effect of which will be to boom
business for the plays at fault.
'gThe stage has gone from bad TO
worse and the gamut of dirt has
not been run. Something must be
done"
Mr.. Moore's life has been linked
with the theatre, not only by mis-
natural love for the stage but
through MS marriage to the late
Lillian Russell.
A blanket order today placed sceVery
policeman on whose beat there is d
theatre in position of a stage,

also to night clubs and, other places
