Hartford Youths ef Are Given Nolles
 In Court To-day
Evidence That They Were Playing Trick on Bank Street Clothier Lacking - Man Sent to Brookside for
 Picking Flowers on Green at "A. M.

Three Hartford youths, who were taken into custody here Friday after noon on the suspicion of attempting to flim-fiam a Bank street clothier had their cases nClled in police court this morning. They were held on the technical charge of vagrancy when the authorities discovered that their joint financial assets were about $4 and they had been looking over $40 suits. The youths, James Kelley, 21, Edward Monahan, 33, and Thomas Sullivan, 26, of Hartford claimed that they were merely obtaining prices on the wearing apparel and Had they reached decision they would have returned to this city with the necessary funds.
 The cases of the trio were con- ~tinued from Saturday morning until to-day when they were disposed of by nolles. The police were unable to obtain additional evidence to con- firm their suspicious that they were endeavoring to work any finn fam on local merchants.
 William O'Neil, 43, of Plaza ave- ue was found guilty of operating a motor vehicle while under the in- fluence of liquor. He preferred serving a jail sentence rather than pay a fine. He was committed for 10 days. Andrew J. Dubiel, 33, of 55 Rowley avenue, charged with a sim

Yale Expedition
 To North India
Dr Hemut de Terra to Start With Associates February
 1882 for tiinalayas and Western Tibet

New Haven, Conn, June 22.-Un- der the auspices of Yale university Dr Hellmut de Terra, formerly of the University of Berlin, now re- search associate in geology at Yale will lead a scientific expedition to the Himalayas and Western Tibet, it was announced here to-day. The personnel of the expedition will con sist of Dr and Mrs de Terra; Dr G. Evelyn Hutchinson, member of the the Yale department of zool- ogy, and George E. Lewis, Fellow in Vertebrate Palaeontology in the department of geological sciences at Yale. The members of the expedi- tion will start for India in Febru- ary. 1892. and will devote a year or more to making a comprehensive survey of this locality in the fields of geology, zoology and palaeontol- ogy.
 The expedition will first work on the Salt Range, one of the smaller mountain ranges of northern India, which lies some eight miles south of the Himalayas. This mountain chain which is the northernmost outpost of peninsular India, rises above the ] great plains of the Punjab, and. as | alayan ranges, occupies a unique position in the topography of the Indian Empire. Geologically the Salt Range is one of the key regions of Asia. Here the palaeontologist can find fossils in abundance. relics of the land life in the Tertiary Period, and here, during the Permit an Period, some 240 million years ago, glaciers covered the northern margin of an ancient continent known to geologists as Gondwana- land. It Is interesting to note that at this time the adjacent Himalayan and Tibetan regions were complete ly submerged by the waters of an ancient ocean.
 In late spring when the passes of the southern Himalayas are freed <, from snow the expedition will move into Kashmir and from there pro- ceed across the Iimalayas to west ern Tibet and the adjoining high lands. The summer months are the only time of the year when the hig hest plateaus of the world are accessible to the scientist explorer for at an altitude of lS,bOO feet a blanket of snow lies almost all the year guarding the secrets of these | uouHtuiUn iTVHH tHo cS'" VI 'he scientist.

FIREMEN BUSY
 OVER SUNDAY Blaze on Berkeley Avenue Damaged Garage and
 Private Residence TWO OTHER CALLS

A two-story wooden garage owned by Angelo Mangini of 348 Berkeley avenue was destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. An adjoining tenement house also caught fire and was seriously damaged before the firemen extinguished the flames. There were no autos stored in the garage at the time of the fire. Some furniture stored in the building was lest in the flames. The owner was unable to give the cause or his esti- mated loss. The alarm was sounded a. 2 o'clock and was answered by two companies of apparatus.
 An automobile owned by Henry J. Nault of 39 Lake street caught fire yesterday morning about 9:30 o clock while parked near the corner of West Main and Leavenworth streets. The cushions of the car were badly damaged.
 Last evening about 10:45 o'clock a bell alarm from Box r called six companies of apparatus to the cor ner of East Main and Cole streets. The blaze was confined to a pile of rubbish.

"A, of 40 Oakville avenue was charged with violating the city ordinance by ob- structing traffic with his taxi cab. He was advised to obey the instructions of the police in the future. The case was continued for sixty days. A nolle was entered in the case of Harold Bergen, 29, of 193 Bridge street, who was summoned as the result of oper- ating without a license.
 Marshal Lassiter, 23, of 981 North Main street and Samuel Bennett, A, of 52 Bishop street were charged with intoxication and breach of the peace as the result of a street fight. The cases were continued for thirty days.
 For picking flowers at 2 o'clock in the morning, John Deverts, 70, was sent to the Brookside home for few days.

|, explorer. The last monhts will be spent in the Hill region along the southern slope of the Himalayas and late in the Spring of 1883 the expedition will start for home.
 The importance of the Yale North India expedition lies in the fact that the Himalayas and adjoining areas, including as they do portions
 of the worlds highest and least explored mountain regions. offer a most promising field for geologic and geologic research. Not only is great part of its geologic history still unrevealed, but many of the geologic formations which build up its towering peaks have never be- fore been systematically searched for palaeontological treasure. Nor has anyone as yet traced the evil dences for the relatively recent up- 1 lift of those highlands and the eff fects which this geological event must haxe exerted upon the evolu- ton of ancient animal and plant | life. The changes in this Himalay- an region since the Pliocene epoch have bene so profound that this area, perhaps even more than the northern Asiatic field, encourages the scientist to hope to find here evidence of mans development from ape like creature to human being. Dr de Terra, who will conduct the geological researches, Is thoroughly familiar with the region to be stu died. In 1927 and 1928 he ac- companied as geologist the German geographer, Dr Emil Thinker, on an expedition to Central Asia, and he Is the first geologist who has sue cessfully crossed and recrossed these ranges by two different routes. The scientific results of this journey will be published latte this year. Dr de Terra will be accompanied by Mrs de Terar, who will act as expedition photographer.
 Dr Hutchinson will be responsi- ble for the geological work. He will make a special investigation of the lake fauna, which promises to fur nish unusually interesting informa- ton concerning the adaptatoin of animal life to environmental changes brought about by geologic events. Dr Hutchinson Is an ex- perienced freshwater biologist, who has made notable researches in southeast Africa.
 Mr Lewis will collect vertebrate
 fossils Of the Tertiary Period in northern India and will assist in the geologlst work.
 Dr and Mrs de Terra will sail for Europe in December and plan to arrive in India at tho beginning of February, Hero they will con- clude the necessary preparations for tho expedition and will await the other members Of the party.
