New Haven, March Kritchman, the music teacher of Naugatuck, who with Joe Mitchell, a bartender of Waterbury, is charged with killing Bronislow Kulvinskas, took the witness stand this noon, and told the story of the shooting, laying the blame upon Joe Mitchell. In the course of her recital of the events of the afternoon of September 17, Sophie several times broke down and cried so that she could not talk for some minutes. In brief she testified that Kulvinskas and she went into the woods of Lovers Lane, where the made improper proposals which rejecte former, ed.

Then as the two sat on a stone under an apple tree in the Roberts lot Joe Mitchell came through the bushes and fired four or five shots. She said she had at the time of the killing of Kulvinskas fifteen pupils in music. She had known Joe Mitchell for two years. Kulvinskas she had known for year prior to January. Anton she had known for five or six years, he having boarded at the house on two separate occasions.

She said that she had been engaged to Dr. K. Kulkausk of South Chicago a year prior to last January and she had never been engaged to any one else. Mitchell, she said, had called her two or three. times a week, 1 Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, sometimes on Friday and always on Sunday, he living in Waterbury at the time.

Mitchell, she said, was not working the week preceding the killing of Kulvinskas, that is, the week ending September 11, but that he spent most of that week at her house, sleeping there at night. Mitchell. she said, came to the house on Sunday, the 12th, and stayed until 11 o'clock. She saw him the following Tuesday and Thursday nights, when he came alone. On Thursday afternoon, the 16th, she gave a piano lesson to a little girl.

Ben (Kulvinskas) came to dinner at 1:15 that day and they ate together. Sophie finished first, going out into back yard, Kulvinskas following soon after. They went out into the lots back, of the house, remaining there hour and a half, sitting and talking, together. did Ben say to you, and you to him asked me to marry him and I said I could not, because I was engaged to some one else." did he say said could not live without me and then he began talking about Joe Mitchell." did Ben say in relation to Joe?" told him I could not marry him as I was engaged to the doctor. Ben said 'How is it you go with he is not a very good fellow; he roes with another man's wife in Waterbury.

If the man catches him he won't live On the night of Thursday the 16th, Kulvinskas and Joe came to the house about 7:15 and stayed to supper. After finishing supper Sophie said she went into the parlor and played the piano about fifteen minutes for both men. After she had stopped playing Mitchell and Kulvinskas quarreled as to why she went with the former. The witness said the two men swore at each other and went out into the back yard. "I went out there and.

told them to stop and not to disgrace me and they came into the house." Q. "How long were they in the back yard A. "'About five minutes." Q. "What did Ben say to Joe?" A. told him he had better and said he would do Ben some day.

keep away and Joe said he would not, Ben slapped Joe in the face." At this point Sophie broke down and cried. On resuming Sophie said "Joe grabbed Ben and I told him to stop fighting." On the morning af September 17. Sophie got up about 7.30 and ate breakfast with Kulvingkas. After breakfast she went into the parlor with Ben and played to him for over an hour. After dinner she again played 'until 12:45.

She then went down stairs. As she was going down the steps of the veranda, Kulvinskas, grabbing her by the sleeve of the dress, pulled her back, saying: "Can I As Sophie reached the bottom of the steps she stopped and turn around said "You can come if you want to." Sophie said she walked up Anderson street and at the corner of Spring. Kulvinskas, who had gone back into the house for hat, overtook her, Witness said laughed and talked these as they went up the road, speaking of the beauty of the scenery and Ben said, "Won't you be my wife?" and Sophie replied, "I cannot marry anybody. I must stay with my mother." On the way to the Booth house witness said: We laughed and played like children, and when we reached the farm Ben said, 'Don't go in there yet. let's go out chads and they walked up the towards the spot where the body was found.

MERELY IN A FURNACE, BUT IT DREW A CROWD. Undersized Chimney Plays Important Part In Comedy. CLEANING UP STREETS AND OTHER MATTERS. A false fire alarm caused considerable excitement in East Hartford last evening. A prominent citizen saw smoke pouring from a chimney in St.

John's Episcopal Church about 8:30 o'clock and ran to the Center Hose Company house, where a number of the members happened to be and gave the alarm. Herbert W. Grant. whose livery stable is next door to the hose house, quickly harnessed a pair of horses and, hitching them to a wagon, was soon on the scene. A line of hose was soon stretched out and a large crowd gathered to find out the cause of the excitement, when William Walker, the janitor of the church, who lives in the parish house just north of it, appeared and explained that he had started a fire in the furnace.

With this announcement the firemen rewound their hose and returned to headquarters, and the crowd faded away. The chimney is in the front part of the roof of the church and does not project above the building, and this fact has been the cause of needless alarms in the past. To Clean Up Street. James A. Muir other residents of Ranney street have.

been circulating a petition for signers, which will be presented to the municipal committee at its regular monthly meeting, Monday evening, March 21. The petition recites that the condition of street is deplorable, owing to the fact that tin cans, all kinds of rubbish and even spring beds have been thrown in the road. As a result of the changing of the layout of the west end of the street. following the construction of the so-called subway on Main street, several trees, which were formerly on the side of the road, are now nearly In the center of it. The petitioners want a general cleaning up of the street ordered.

Morgan Co. will finance an Important merger of motor car companies comes the news today of the formation of a manufacturing company unique in the history of the automobile industry. One of the leading business inen of Wall street are to make automobiles for their own use on designs embodying the best features of both Amertcan and foreign cars. The company will have a factory at Springfield, the output of which will be bought at the actual cost of manufacture by the stockholders of the company, which will be known as the Orson Automobile Manufacturing Compahy, and has been incorporated under the laws of this state, with a nominal capital of $10,000. It is understood that the output will be limited to 100 cars, the number of stockholders, but what will become of it after each shareholder has obtained his car has not been decided.

Among the 100 organizers are Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank; Horace M. Kilborn, vice-president of the National City Bank: Charles G. Gates, son of John W. Gates; Henry O.

Havemeyer, preeident of the Alaska Coal Copper Company, and Alvin W. Krech, president of the Equitable Trust Company. The company will make its own motors, but some of the parts will be bought elsewhere and assembled at the factory. GOVERNMENT STEAMERS WOULD SAVE MONEY. McLachian Says California Alone Could Save 75 Per Cent.

New York, March could save 75 per cent. in freight on annual shipments to the East of 000,000 worth of fruit, Representative James McLachlan of California told the Merchants' Association here today, if the government would equip and operate a line of steamers from California to the Western entrance of the Panama canal, The government already operates one line between New York and Colon, on the eastern coast of the Isthmus, connecting with the Panama railroad, but the only steamers serving the western coast are privately owned. This rivate line, said Representative McLachlan is not effective for competition because the railroads pay $100,000 annually to the company for the privilege of naming the rates. Oranges now cost $1.30 a box to ship by rail from coast to coast. By steamer, said Representative McLachlan, the rate ought to be 30 cents.

Because it is not the government line that now carries heavy cargoes of supplies from New York to the canal zone, but gets little or no business in return. The association voted. its thanks to Representative McLachlan, but took no other on his recommendations. LIBERALS ADOPT NEW PLAN TO KEEP CONTROL. Ministers to Have Supplies Voted For Six Weeks Only, London, March -The ministers adopted a new device in the war between the Lords and Commons by asking Parliament today to vote supplies for six weeks only, instead of from four to six months as has been the practice for the last fifteen years.

The fact is not concealed that this device is intended to keep the power of the purse in the hands of the House of Commons, In readiness for a fresh constitutional crisis, which is expected in month of May, when the Lords probably will reject the resolutions curtailing their power of veto, so as to bring about the resignation of the government. If supplies were voted for six months, Mr. Balfour could then take office and carry on the government, but with the necessity of coming to the House of Commons for a new vote on supply he would. be defeated. The conservatives in the House of Commons today indignantly denounced the government's action as a "shabby trick in its policy of evasion and chicanery." Their newspapers echo this sentiment.

AMBASSADOR BACON'S DEBUT ONE OF SPLENDOR. Paris, March -The reception at the American embassy today, at which Ambassador and Mrs. Bacon made their bow to official Paris. was one of the most brilliant functions of years. The spacious salons were beautifully decorated with flowers, and a string orchestra was installed in the gallery.

Bids for the extension of the gas mains of the Bristol Plainville Tramway Company through Forestville to Plainville were opened this afternoon in the directors' room of the company's office. There were fifteen bids among which were bids of one Bristol concern, two Hartford contractors, Boston and Waterbury firms and from other sections of the state.

There are about eight miles of mains to be laid and the rivalry for the contract of laying them has been keen. The lowest bidder was G. A. Evline Company of New Britain. No definite action was taken toward awarding the contract.

The work contemplates the extension of the system from the gas works in East Bristol with a main twelve inches and using ten-inch part of the distance. Branch lines of four, six and eight-inch will be used.

ROCKEFELLER NOT TRYING TO DODGE TAXES. No Part of Foundation for Use of Heirs.

New York, March that John D. Rockefeller, by the establishment of the Rockefeller foundation, is seeking to avoid taxation on his fortune, were made here today by Starr J. Murray, his personal counsel. foundation," said Mr. Murphy, "if chartered government, will come directly under the supervision of the secretary of the interior, who will at all times have opportunity to learn if the money applied to the foundation is being used for the purposes designated in the charter.

It would be impossible for any part of the money given the foundation by Mr. Rockefeller to be set apart for his heirs. They would not be able to touch one penny of it. Rockefeller has no idea of giving over his entire fortune to the foundation. His heirs, I have every reason to believe, will be amply taken care of." FIREMEN DEMAND INCREASE OF WAGES.

New Application to B. O. South western. Cincinnati, March committee representing the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers called upon the management of the Baltimore Ohio Southwestern railtoday, presenting demands for increased wages and improved working conditions. A similar body from the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers withdrew their application for increases recently when informed that the road was not earning enough to justify the changes asked.

It is believed that the firemen's demands will be refused and that the management of the road will attempt to convince them also that increases in wages are impossible for the present. It is understood that the engineers may renew their demands July 1. TAFT WALKS IN SNOW. Storm Does Not Cheat Him Out of His Exercise.

From Granite to Cement. (Worcester Telegram.) An old granite quarry in Brockton is being changed over into a cement pit.

That is not quite such startling news as Paul Revere spread about Middlesex many years ago, but the prospect is that it means a good deal to New England. There are thousands of forsaken granite quarries about this commonwealth and others to the north. Some of them are so old that they have been forgotten by all but the hunters who stumble into them while roaming the forests. One of them is in Worcester involved in a legal tangle, which recalls some of the old values placed on that kind of rock supply for the builders and places them in comparison with the later methods of construction. Granite is still used extensively and there is vet to come a great deal of business with the well split blocks, but there is new history to be made and that will have more cement in Therefore, that old granite quarry in Brockton has a place in the news columns for a new reason.

A Boston company is to place in it a large stonecrusher and make the crumbling granite into meal, very fine dust or rock and that is to be shaped into cement bricks, urns, bowls and various forms that builders use in fitting houses for habitation. That is, a great mass of granite has been found useless for cutting out shapes in the native rock and therefore it is to be ground up and made into rock of shapes such as are wanted now and as cement in its more modern application makes possible. There are throughout New England so many of that kind of granite quarries that the start in Brockton may mean a considerable business in taking them up to dig more wealth out of them. That man still has rights woman is bound to respect is shown by the ruling of a West Virginia court, to the effect that the wife cannot prosecute the husband for burning their -Washington Post.

When foul smelling odors come from your stomach, when the head aches and the sourness of mouth every morning makes you hate your breakfast, when dreams and nightmare assail you, don't give up the fight. This is the appeal of nature, and it should be heard.

Over- eating, late suppers, poorly chewed food, too rich pastries and under cooking are some of the causes of the stomach's ill health. When the stomach is busy, it presses and churns all the liquid matter from food and with Its juices dissolves into liquid form or pulp everything which comes into it. If food be poisonous It effects the Julces, attacks the stomach, goes into blood and weakens the entire system. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest a full meal easily without material assistance from the stomach. They will restock the gastric fu'd with all the elements needed.

They build up the blood, destroy sour taste, bad. breath, belching, stomach and bowel trouble and quickly restore natural conditions. One grain of Stuart's Dyspeps a Tablets will digest 3,000 grains of food in the stomach or a glass vial without aid of the human digestive apparatus. The method of Stuart's Dyspeps a Tablets are the methods of Nature. They contain every requisite for the stomach and digestion.

After a meal one of these little tablets when it enters the stomach mingles with the Juices, attacks and digests it. It removes the fermented and decayed mass, lying stagnant there and eases the stomach at once. It is wholly a question for you to solve. Your druggist will furnish Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets 50c. the box, or send us your name and address and we will send you a tr'al package free, Address F.
