 The local youth, who is the son of Mir. and Mrs. Louis Sackett. was at home Saturday morning when his parents went out, his father about 9 o'clock and his mother a little later, but when Mir. Sackett returned home an hour later Frederick had gone. He had spoken of an errand he wished to do, and his father be- lieved that he had gone to do this. When he did not return for dinner or supper, his parents believed that he was staying at a friends home, but when they telephoned to this place at o'clock Saturday night they were informed that he had not been there
 Brother Searches in Vain Fearing that Frederick might have met with an accident while cycling, his older brother. Robert set out in an automobile and secured the roads about the city in an effort 10 locate either boy or bicycle. He found nothing, so the local police were notified and broadcast a description of the youth to other departments in the state.
 Yesterday morning the Sackctts communicated with the parents of young Adams, who was one of Fred crick's closest friends, tho two boys attending the State Trade school to- gether. The father, Emory Adams, said that tho Bristol youth was miss ing, too, and had not been seen since leaving his home to board the a. m. train for this city on Saturday morning.

 AS POLICE HUNT SLAYER
in West With Other Litchfield County Men Seeking to Clear Up Mortgage Tanglc of Defunct New Milford Concern - Murdered in Hotel Room By Two Young Men, Companions Tell Police.

=
 Muskogee, Okla, April 2S (Pl - Although two automobile travelling companions of David and George Smith, both of Connecticut, who were mysteriously shot and killed in hotel here Saturday night, were still being detained by police today, Sheriff Fred Hamilton said he be- licved them innocent of the crime.
 John l.. Wile, Sharon, Conn.,, and P. G. Seeley, Washington, Conn. the other members of the Smith party, asserted the men were killed by two unmasked robbers who entered ho- tel room.
 George Smith whose home was in West Cornwall, Conn, was secretary of the defunct New Milford Security company and was in Oklahoma checking up on mortgages on west ern Connecticut farms sold here. David Smith lived in Sharon.
 Search for Suspects
 With the apparent failure of police to connect Wille and Seeley with the crime, search for other suspects i was started. At Springfield, Mo-, where the Connecticut party spent Friday night, police were reported , checking activities of a group of five men who stayed in the same hotel as that in which the eastern group had quarters. The five men register cd from Chicago, and said they were cn route to Shamrock. Tex.
 Two other men who spent the night in the Springfield hotel, said to have been overheard discussing pulling a job" also were sought. Wille told officers the robbers en- tered the hotel room occupied by the Smith brothers and himself. and ono of the men drew a revolver. The brothers, he said, grappled with the | intruders and were shot. Police said no shots were heard by anyone else in the hotel.
 Shaving in Bathroom
 Scelcy said he was shaving in the bathroom of a connecting room dur ing the holdup. When officers reach cd the scene ono side of his face was | freshly shaved and the other side 1 was covered with dry lathcr

East Main and Chestnut Street Service May Be Abandoned
 Soon
CITY LEARNS OF MOVE;
 TO DELAY PAVING WORK
PlainyilIe and Hartford Electric Service Alone Will Survive If Con- templated Plans Go Through Francis Street Route Through North Street Scheduled to Be Next on Program for Change.

4NoAtI CNISSO NNhSAAA>N " >
 Next on Program for Change.
 Abandonment of the East Main street and tho Chestnut street troll ley lines is in prospect and until q definite decision is reached, repair of the highway through which the first of these two lines passes Will be held up, City Engineer Philip A. Merriam said today.
 Although rather widely separated these two lines operate jointly in the sense that the cars and crews go from the terminal of one line to the terminal of the other to com plete one trip, crossing routes at the center.
 The Francis street line is now in process of abandonment. When re- pair of North street begins, the tracks will be removed and buses substituted with the consent of the public utilities commission. The Arch street line was given up sev- eral years ago, and on the Berlin and the Pennington avenue lines trollcys operate only during the period of peak loads. The company's representatives, in discussion with New Britain officials. have made it plain that eventually none but the Hartford and Plainville systems are likely to be kept in permanent op- eration.
 Buses to Be Substituted
 As has been the case wherever trolleys have been removed, buses will be substituted on the East Main street and the Chestnut street lines If the trolleys are taken off.
 East Main street is sorely in nee l of repair, Engineer Merriam said to- day, the condition which has long been far from favorable having been aggravated by excavations mada necc, sary by the construction Of subways. A complete permanent pavement job is planned, but work is being delayed because of the ex- pected action of the Connecticut Co.,. Installation of additional subway ducts will also be postponed until It is learned whether the tracks, which must be removed for this job are to be re-laid.
 Permanent pavement laid on South Main street several years ago is showing signs of wear in the vii cinity of Sand Bank hill, and patch ing will probably be necessary, ac- cording to the city engineer. High way patching work will begin this week.

BY HIS WORSHIP, REUBEN SALTER,
Mayor of Boston, England.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, September IS (NANA)-
A feature of American life that has
amused us all greatly in the entertain
ment provided for us in the United
States Is your fondneSs for multiplying
the list OF speakers at all your various
functions.
At one luncheon we attended almost
every one present was called upon
to make a speech. And invariably the
chairman or announcer Is the worst of
the lot. He always must chip in with
a wordy introduction of each speaker,
giving his life's history back to Adam,
and attributing to him qualities and
virtues that are only to be found in
heaven itself.
Those attending such functions SEEM
ingly love to be in the limelight. And
also none of these functions starts on
time Invariably the gatherings were
always half an hour or more late.
In the old country all such functions
start on time, and 1t is understood that
the chairman should be seen and not
heard overmuch. Whether this un-
punctuality is typical or only through
the. stress of the occasion. cannot say.
Also at all dinners in England no one
smokes until after the toast of 'the
King" is given Then the chair
man announces, Gentlemen, you may
smoke"
You Americans are noted in England
as a people who hustle. and we found
in many directions evidence of this.
But I question whether you get to
the end of the journey any sooner than
the more Sedate and slower-moving
Englishman. 1t is often q case of more
haste, less speed in America.
No Carping Criticism.
But let me make 1t quite clear in
my notes that what have said is not
said in a spirit of carping criticism,
but in very friendly spirit! 1t would
be most ungenerous of me to criticize
after the very generous and very warm
welcome you have given to the deputa-
ton from old Boston.
We have received unstinted kindness
at the hands of everyone. Your hos
pitality has been unbounded and we
have all had an unforgetable expert
ence.
What warm hearted people you are
to be sure, so different from the phleg-
matte Englishman.

England and America are John Bull
