LABEL PLACED ON
 MAINE POTATOES
Federal Regulations Pre- vents Interstate Ship=
 ment; Called "Culls"

Hartford, January 1T. - Commis- sioner of Agriculture Olcott F. Kings recent warning to the potato trade, partcr 'arly buyers and ship pers of Maine potatoes. that the new Maine Utility" grade would prob ably have to be marked as "CullS" in Connecticut, has been substantiated to . large extent through the rul- ina just issued by the Federal Fruit and Drug Administration which de- clared that such potatoes would be confiscated if shipped in interstate commerce.
 Under the food and drug act of June 30, 1886, the administration has ruled that interstate shipments Of potatoes exceeding the Il percent tolerance set up under the present U. s. No. II grade will be considered as adulterated and subject to seizure. The administration will no longer recognize speciall graded potatoes for interstate shipment when the special grades fall below the grading standards of U. E. No. II with its II percent maximum toleration.
 The Maine utility grade which brought action from the Connecticut department of agriculture on De- cmeber 9, and now from the federal food and drug administration, pro- vides for 25 percent tolerance of net-necrosis. It is believed that very few, if any, of the Maine utility" grade potatoes have been shipped into Connecticut.

UNKNOWN JEWEL
 THIEF QUERIED.
Former New York Convict May Be Maine, Long
 Island RObber

Boston, Jan. 19.-(UP)-A former New York convict, whose real iden- tity remained a mystery, was ques- tioned today in connection with Maine and Long Island jewel theftS that totaled nearly $500,000 in three years.
 Described as well educated and fashionably dressed, he was arrested with woman companion ill Cam bridge cafe by Boston police after members of a private detective agency had trailed him several weeks,
 Though he refused to give his name police believed he was a form CT student at an exclusive Massa- chusetts preparatory school and a one-time teacher at Sing Sing. He suavely declined to discuss dozen major robberies attributed to him. In each the thief climbed through second story windows while fam lilies were at dinner.
 Largest Robbery
 The largest robbery was in June 1886, when $230000 in jewelry was stolen from the Long Island estate of W. R. Coe. Police believed he also footed the home of F. Trubee Davidson, former assistant secretary of war, of $2,000 and in 1885 stole gems valued at $10O,000 from the Walcott Blair home.
 Last July he allegedly stole $40,- GOO in jewels from the Bar Harbor, Me, estate of Mrs. J. J. O'Brien of Detroit Other Maine jewel robberies attributed to him included Victor Lowe, Bar Harbor, S3,000; Mrs. Charles B. Dickey, Mt Desert Isl- and, $1,20O, and Mrs. Isabelle Chal- fant, Kennebunkport, $20,000. In August, $25,000 in gems was stolen from the Lisbon. N. H., summer home of J. E. McCauley, Birdsboro Pa, and soon afterward $20,000 in i jewels was stolen from Mrs. George F. Smith at Ogunquit, Me.
