The plan involves a marked de- parture from the present system of supervising border traffic. Under ex- isting regulations persons may enter the United States from Canada at any point along the border, with the restriction that officials of the near est port of entry be advised at once if any merchandise is brought into the country, or the crossing is made in a vehicle.
 To provide a rigid patrol of the border between ports of entry, ex- tsting border agencies-the coast guard, immigration, narcotic and customs patrols-are to be consoli- dated under one head and the num- Der of agents increased. At present there are almost 2,O00 agents on the border, representing the five serv- ices.
 The plan was outlined In a general way last week by Under Secretary Mills of the treasury in replying to severe criticism of prohibition en- forcement originating on Capitol Hill. Since that time, the details have been worked out and submit ted to Canada for its approval.

Three WethersHeId Men Prob
 ably in Massachusetts
CAR FOUND NEAR ROAD
stolen Auto Abandoned Near Hol- yo'ic-Authorities Think Men Dou- bled Back From Chclsea-NiiiIs- man Adds Evidence.

Hartford, Jan. [ LR-The three convicts who escaped from the Wethersfield prison three days ago are believed to be in partial hiding in Massachusetts today, not daring to venture out on the main highways which are carefully guarded by state troopers.
 The discovery of Q stolen Franklin sedan in which the fugitives were reported seen in Chelsea, Mass, Sun day, and in Holyoke ast night, in clines Warden Charles & Reed to the theory that the bandits may have rctraced their course.
 He considers it possible that Ro- land Lalone, Leo Landry and Watson Moultrope the fleeing trio, out Of funds and hesitating to steal more cars, have been compelled through fear of capture to abandon, tenn porarily at least, their hope Of reaching the Canadian border.
 Traced Back to Holyokc
 We have traced the trio no far ther than Chelsea, Mass, Warden Reed said. The finding of the Franklin sedan in a remote section of Holyoke last night indicates they stopped their northern course and turned back westward"
 The fact that no automobile thefts has been reported in Massachusetts since the Franklin was stolen also leads the warden to assume the trio may still be in that state. If they are trying to leave the state, the be- lief is they may be seeking rides with passing motorists.
 In order to keep moving in this manner. the authorities say, the chances are that the three have separated temporarily. Although Warden Reed admits the fugitives may have gone farther north than they were last reported seen, he is more inclined to the opinion that their movements have been greatly hampered by Massachusetts officers and that they have gone into hiding.
 Warden Reed said it is unlikely that they have obtained money, for the abandoned car showed practical ly all of the gasoline had been used

2LETTER MAN MAY
 WIN BURNS AWARD
Middleton Spoken Of for Prize
 at High School
TWO OTHERS IN FIELD
Bill .Mangan and Witty Grimala, Who Have Won Letters in Three Sports, Included as Candidates for Honor.

Possibility of the establishment of a precedent in the awarding of the William F. Burns Memorial award was indicated today when it
 was learned that officials who will have charge of this honor will study
 whether it would be advisable to
 give it to an athlete who has won
 only two letters at the Senior high 1 school
 The athlete who would benefit if this procedure is adopted is Albert Middleton, who was considered the most valuable member of last sea sons triangular championship foot ball team He has won letters in football and track.
 However if the award is given to him there are two three-lcttcr men
 who would lose out for the honor which is considered the highest which can be won by an athlete at the Senior high school. They are William Nangan and Witty Grmala. The former has letters in football, bask ketball and baseball and the lat ter in football, basketball and track.
 Three Are Eligible The choice for mid-year honors lies between these men. Middleton
 would have become a three letter man if he was not declared ineligible because of age. He became 21 in December about two weeks after the annual game against Hartford Pub lie High school and under the rules
 of the school he cannot take part in
 any of the school games.
 He is on the basketball squad at present but he will not be allowed to take part in games prior to his graduation this month.
 Middleton has been in the school approximately one and one-halt years and he took part in athletics immediately upon his arrival. When he first enrolled it was necessary fo1 him to make up more than one months work in order to be eligible l for football. He did this in a very
 short time and took part in the last few games of the season. Although he had been used in the backfeld he proved himself invaluable to the team by playing guard in the Hart ford game.
 He again reported for track late in the season and was the star ir the last two meets. He took part ir the field events, throwing the dis GUS, javelin and shot.

 Given for Use in Houses Under
 Prescription.
 As a means of combating the spread of disease through the hand ling of books at the New Britain Institute, pr. l.. J. Dumont, superin- tendent of health, has inaugurated a practice of notifying the library each day Of the location of every new case of communicable disease. The institute will cooperate by refusing to issue books to anyone whose card shows residence at the addresses where there are cases under treat ment.
 AS further precaution, the libra rian has decided that books here- after returned from homes which have been under quarantine for scar let fever, diphtheria, smallpox or in fantile paralysis, will not again be placed in circulation, but will be burned promptly.
 Dr. Dumont had offered to furnish the library with formaldehyde dis infecting outfit, but it was decided that to burn the books would be a safer procedure, being an absolu q safeguard.
 In explanation, the health super intendent has explained that diseases have been found to have been trans mitted by the handling of a book which had been used by a person ease although, he admitted, this source of infection has been greatly exaggerated.

Kiely and Feeney Declare James
 Manning Tried to Throw Drinks
 Down Sink In His Store on North Street,

James Manning was in the back
 room of his store at 1S4 North
 street shortly after o'clock last
 evening and the door leading to the
 front of the place was securely | locked. Three men were in the front section and several in the rear when
 Sergeant T. J. Feeney and Sergeant elect E. M. Kiely walked in. The first group recognized them and guessed their mission, but they made no out
 cry and Manning, when he peered through a small hole in the parti- tion, had no warning and thought he had another customer, for the recently appointed sergeant whisper
 de in an audible tone: It's all right, Jim"
 Manning's eyes was about on a level with kiely's chest and as kiely
 was in plain clothes, Manning was fooled and the "Open Sesame"
 worked to perfection. The door
 opened and the two officers rushed
 in. dashing past the surprised Man ming despite his frantic attempts to
 stop them. Alleged liquor from sev-
 cral glasses was thrown into sink
 but the raiders mopped up enough for evidence and arrested Manning
 for violation of the liquor law on two counts.
 In police court today, Manning, who gave his age at 27 and his ad- dress 1S4 North street, pleaded not
 guilty and was represented by Attor- ney Lawrence J. Colon. A continu-
 ance until Friday was ordered on the latter's request. According to the police, Manning has no record.

 With the connection, the Western Pacific and the Great Northern would link the northwest, including North Dakota. Utah, Idaho and Mon tana, with the entire southwest. The Western Pacific would be enabled to carry freight into San Francisco from the northern tier, and by means of it's own lines and those of the Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe system, deliver it into Southern California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas.
 Dohcrty Is Counsel
 r. G. Doherty, of St. Paul, came before the commission yesterday as the representative of the Great Northern to open the arguments for approval of the application.
