 WHITE-Miss Mary Wells White died Saturday afternoon at her home on Second Ave, following short Hines. Miss White was a na- tive of this city and the daughter of the late J. Watson and Anna E. Wells White. She was a descendant of John White who came to this country in 1882 from England. She also is descendant of Thomas Wells the fourth governor of Con- Her father was connected with the we'll known firm of White & Wells. The deceased had lived in this city all her life and was one of the earliest graduates of St. Margaret's school. She was an orig nal member of the Saint Margaret's association, and was always deeply interested in the school, in which her sister. the late Miss Anna s. White, was for so many years a teacher. She was associated with her sister in the European trips which they conducted. She was fond of reading and was well with what is best in literature and art. As com of St. Johns church, she was for many years active in the work of it's organizations. The death of her sister. which took place in November of last year. was a great blow to her. as the two had always been very closely associated in all activities of life, at home and outside. except in school work. as she was never a teacher. She had many warm friends. |.
 She is survived by one nephew. Edward L. White of New Haven; three grand-nephews and two grand-nieces.
 The funeral services which were private were held this afternoon with the burial in Riverside ceme- tery.

Descriptions Prove Only Clue For Cops
 As Search Is Begun
Made on Foot-Suspected of Other Crimes Com- mitted Here in Addition to Those Last Week

A trio of youthful nonchalant bandits, already christened '"The
 Stroilers', was sought today by police for at least three recent dar- ing hold-ups of store-keepcrs, two of them taking place this week end. They are also suspected of participation in other crimes here during past weeks.
 g, Captain William P. Keegan, chief inspector of the detective bureau, today stated that hold-ups which netted $55 Saturday night have been attributed to the youths and that they are the same group which two weeks ago held up q South Main street chain grocery store and escaped with the con- tents of the cash register.
 Nick-Namcd StrOlIcrs
 The youths. in each case, have the appellation 'strollers". After ,menacing their victim with a gun and warning him not to, utter in questi ,n and stroll away from the scene The three are all young, men and as far as can be learned have never previously been in po- lice toils
 "The Strollers" followed their regular routine Saturday night. At ' o'clock a young man. unmasked, walked into the store of Nick. Guer- rera of 218 Hill street, menaced the storekeeper with gun, scooped $15 from the cash register and walked out of the store.
 At S:15 Saturday night, two youths confronted Nathan Miskin with a gun in his store at GA Wall street, pushed him behind a re- frigerator after binding him, and strolled out with $40 from the mans pockets and the cash regis ter.
 Police Handicapped
 In the South Main street hold-up August 29, the trio escaped with S58.14 from a First National store, duii ing the o'clock rush hour. They escaped on foot up Washing ton street. They had been seen just a few minutes before by Lieut. Detective William Pollard. who saw the youths sitting on the steps lead ing up to his home on South Main street. just three building away frorn the store which was victim ized.
 With only description of the three to work on. police are handi- capped as they begin their search for them. The men who pulled off Saturdays series of crimes ans- wer to exactly the same descrip-- tions as the three who held up the South Main street store

Medical Examiner Per- forms Autopsies
 To-day

Death of two men "4 terbury hosDit"1 last tight resulted in au- toDsies today as the first step in official investigations of the two cases. One man, Herbert Stroka- laitis. 25, of 1155 Bank street, was found by Medical Examiner Dr Ed ward H. Kirschbaum to have died of natural causes though he was a suspected victi of foul play. The other ----> Anthony Trovanet- to, 19 of SS Railroad Hill street, was found to have suffered an eX- tensive skull fracture as the result Vf an unique auto mishap.
 Strokalaitis, admitted to the hos pisal last Thursday, bore several marks on his head, which appeared as if they might have been received in an assault. Autopsy proved, however, that the mans death came as a result of natural causes. Strokalaitis died late last night af- ter having been only partially con- scious and irrational since his ad- mission to the hospital.
 Trovanetto was riding on the running board of an automobile on August 31st, when his hat blew off. Reaching down to pick 1t up, he lost his balance and fell, crushing in his skull. The death is being in vestigated by Coroner John T. Monzani.

Bee Registrations
 Close October 1
Joseph Cepelak Lone Waterburian Listed to Date;
 Location of Colonies Needed for Inspection

Beekeepers of Waterbury are reminded in communications from the Connecticut Agricultural Expe- riment station at New Haven that all bees must be registered at the town clerks office on or before Oc- tober 1. To date there is only one beekeeper registered at the local office, he being Joseph Cepelak of S41 Frost road. He lists two col onies. ~-}...
 It is doubtful whether there will be as many registered this year as there were last year when six was the total registration. The severe winter of last year with the record breaking temperatures of February ruined most of the apiaries in this city. The same was true in all cit ies of the country where the ter rife cold weather struck.
 The purpose of registering the bees is to locate all hives in the state so that they may be inspected for disease, Dr w. E. Britton, state

entomologist explains. Bees are subject to bacterial diseases of the young brood that are easily carried from one hive to another. While the quality of honey produced does not seem to be affected by the presence of disease, the sickness gradually spreads through the hive and may wipe out an entire colony.
 ,The law requiring registration of bees aims to control the spread of the disease and is for the protec- tion of the keepers of bees, Dr Britton says. During 1883, there were 1.342 apiaries containing 10,- 729 colonies inspected. The law, says Dr Britton requires registra- tion of old as we'll as new hives.
