After eluding the efforts of state ahd local police for months the cap tured youth fell into the hands oi the authorities when caught in the act of committing a petty robbery Fingerprints led to his identifica tion and when confronted with the evidence he admitted that his name is Anderson and that he was wanted as an escaped prisoner from the insane ward of the Nor wich State hospital. He succeeded in deceiving specialists on being sentenced from this city early in 1891 to serve from 20 to 25 years and was adjudged mentally un- balanced and trasnferred to Nor wich on June 19, 1881.

Bremen Will Be Stationed at Boxes to Prevent False Alarms Although Officials Anticipate No Trouble During Hours of Annual Celebration

With 100 uniformed policemen on duty this evening and the en- tire motor patrol mobilized to handle emergency calls, Superin- tendent Joseph H. Mclean expects little or no trouble in preventing the enthusiasm of Halloween cele- orators developing into rowdyism. Chief Henry H. Heitman of the fire department is cooperating with the police officials and will have men stationed in the vfcin- ity of fire alarm boxes to prevent false alarms from being registered.
 From all indications there will be plenty of revelry in evidence to- night. Thousands of youngsters will parade in all types of disguises and masquerades. There will be scores of impromptu street paradcs and undoubtedly many house par ties.
 The police have no intention of suppressing noise. They have ap- pealed to parents to advise young sters to respect property in their eagerness to hove 8 good time. Orders have been issued to pa- trolmen to arrest anyone cought in the act of damaging property. These instructions apply not only to persons attempting to stone or deface residence. but who are de-

State Regulation
 Of Hunting Areas
Rural Landowners to Have Land Posted Free and
 State Protection Against Hunters Under Plan

Hartford, Oct 31-Superintend- ent of Fisheries and Game Arthur L. Clark to-day announced that ru- ral landowners of the state may have their lands posted free of charge, patrolled and rtrespassing regulated by the state under a new plan just adopted by his depart ment which would apply the prin- pie of regulated shooting to pri- vate areas and permit public hunt ing thereon only with permission of landowner. Recent shooting accidents and complaints by prop erty owners of damages and abuses by trespassers has prompt ed the state department to inaugu- rate the plan, which is similar to plans now in operation in some western states, he stated.
 In an open letter to rural prop. erty owners to-day the state board of fisheries and game points out that it has no Jurisdiction over ust of private property for shooting ex. cept where hunting rights have been granted to the state. To prop. erty owners who will pool suit ably defined areas aggregatine 5000 acres or more the board offers free posting and patrolling by protectors to enforce laws and prevent abuses in exchange for shooting rights.
 Regulations which would apply to these areas, now enforced on lands already under jurisdiction of the board, prohibit shooting with fy, 0f h,rf f1r <1 buildings or livestock. They also prohibit leaving bars down or gates open, breaking fences. crossing cultivated lands or carrying a rifle larger than .22 caliber.
 As a means of identifying and restricting the number using the new areas at any one time, posters will state that hunting is allowed only with permission of one of the property owners. The hunter must apply at a residence on the area, leave his car or other means of Identification with the owner. who will. give him ticket granting authority to hunt on any land within the posted area.
 Tickets which a single owner may give out will be limited so as to distribute shooting as widely as possible. Upon leaving the area the ticket is returned to the own- CT, the bag reported, and the sportsman then claims his car or other means of Identification.
 The letter is directed also to pri- vate clubs which find difficulty in maintaining their areas for private shooting or fishing and urges them to lease all or part to the board for regulated shooting CT fishing so that such areas may receive the benefits of restocking and manage ment by the state.
 "This board believes that the cause of most posted property in Connecticut is due to unrestricted use of private property by a thoughtless and sometimes lawless

 ''The attempts of individuals or groups to regulate abuses have not been entirely satisfactory. for the reason that the lawless element will not observe the posters of pri- vate individuals.
 "The state board of fisheries and game offers this plan of co-opera- ton to groups of property owners, and private shooting clubs, which, based on our experience, will reg ulate public shooting on their areas in satisfactory manner and will also, to some extent, regulate other uses of private property at all sea- sons of the year"
