NEW YORK Jan. 1(.-—-Chief do-
velopmcnts today in the swiftly
moving heart history of Count Lud-
wig Sulm von Hoogstraetcn and his
marriage to Miss Millicent. Rogers.
$40,000,000 heiress and daughter of
Colonel H. H. Rogers, were as fol-
lows:
Colonel and Mrs. Rogers shroud-
lng their movements with utmost
privacy. left Tuxedo Park in their
limousine. It was deduced they were
going to their estate at Southamp-
ton. L. I.
The whcrabouts of the Count and
his young bride was carefully con-
cealed. They had not. returned to
their a rtmcn o o
1. will... solidly callus
somewhere on Long Island. "
Positive assurances from three
authoritative sources were bad that
Mrs. Grace Sands Montgomery Cor-
tin would not sue because she had
been the alleged victim of the
Counts lilting humor-s in affairs of
the heart. Mrs. Coffin was another
of the all-star social cast. that re-
mained in seclusion today.
It was revealed that Miss Rogers
had been besieged by many bearers
of European titles prior to her sur-
render to the Count’s romantic
courtship. The list, it; was said. in-
cluded the German Baron‘ Raven
von Barnico. rich in both family
glory and worldly goods. Baron
Barnico was nffianced to Fem An-
dra, Central European film actress,
who feared he might turn to Miss
Rogers. Count Salm appeared and
ended this situation.
James M. Thompson. son of a
Southern family oi! bankers and tin-
anciers. himself a motion picture ac-
tor. reiterated his friendship fox-the
Countess. despite the fact that his
engagement to her had been broken
by outside influences. He refused to
discuss the Count or to comment on
rumors of thc heiress having been
secluded from the friendship of clig-
this young Americans while title-
holdcrs were sccking her hand.
And. Just on Count Snlm had be-
come the betrothed of Mrs. Grace
Sands Coi‘fin before he met the char-
ming Millicent, so had Baron Raven
been affinnccd to the film queen of
Central Europn. Fcrn Andra. by
marriage the Baroniss zuw’cichs zur
“Venue.
In this connection it is recalled
that tho Baroness was a. central lig-
uro in the storm of publicity which
followed the sudden and secret mar-
riage of Count, Sclm and Miss Rogers
Like Mrs. Coi‘rln, she was reported
named to him.
And just as the exquisite Millicent
brought a siartling end to Mrs. Cof—
fln's romancc, she appeared as a.
menace to the beautiful Fern Andra.
Only——
Fern Andra's betrothed was Baron
Raven. .
Today in the German-Austrian
titled colony in New York, it was
said by one close to the Baron:
“Nobody in Berlin knew that Fern
Andm had left And few knew that
she had arrived. or Why. 8110 had
planned to marry Baron Raven in
New York this Winter. In Germany
the engagement was generally
known. He prcccdcd her to New
York on business and arrived here
in October.
"I know myself that a letter was
sent. her by the Baron, telling her
that his fancy had been enchanced
by the lovely Millicent Rogers and
asking not release that he might
pursue his courtship of her."
The motion picture actress arriv-
ed in New York on the Aquitanla
on New Year's l‘ vc. {Vim her
mother. Mrs. '1‘. St. Clair. of Gerry,

arms about both nor and hcr mother
and exclaimed:
“Oh. but I'm glad you are here!
There is ccrtplnly no woman in the
world I sliduld rather have met
tonight. You are just, in\ lime."
\ththcr the Count disclosed the
whole story of tho Baron's atten-
tions to Miss Rogers is not reveal-
ed. But. the Baroness Fern Andra
suddenly departed the Ritz and
registered at the Hotel Ambassador.
At the Great Northern Hotel, to
which the titled actress moved as
mystcrlously as she had quit the
Ritz for the Ambassador. it was said
yesterday that she had checked out.
Later in the afternoon. howr-vcr.
she was seen at tea. with Baron

and gagged the ncgro watchman and
escaped with- ’truckloads of bonded

John Brown, negro watchman at

in kicking over a. telephone. He
was tightly bound, he told the police,
and had difficulty in getting to the
telephone.
The whiskey was stored on the
fifth floor of the building. Brown
claims two of the bandits went to
upper floor and loaded the cases
of theliquor on a freight elevator. The
cases were then carried from the
building on two trucks stationed on
the st‘eet. Brown says the other
'bandits were assigned to watch him.
From time to time the watchman

State Police Believe
Escaped Convicts Are
Working in
This County
Daring Robberies Repoled in Last Forty-eight
Hours from Georgetown, Long Hill, Green-
wich as Well as Norwalk»
?
BRIDGEPORT. Jan. 1441A series
of bold robberies in five dlflerent
Fairfleld County towns within the
last 48 hours. each thought to have
been the work of three unknown
men who have been seen in various
parts of the county. has lei the state
police‘to the belief that the three
prisoners who escaped from the New
Haven county jail Friday night are
victimizing the residents of this part.
of the state.-
Post Office Looted.
Significant to the state police, who
are investigating the rohbcrhs is
the fact. that a jimmy was used in
each case. A post office, a railroad
station, a poultry house, stones and
private homes are among the places
which were broken into in N01 walk.
Greenwich. Georgetown, Long Hill
and Monroe Center.
Reports from each of these towns
yesterday indicated that snortly be-
fore each of the breaks three un-
known young men answerin: in a
general manner the description of
the escaped prisoners. were soon in
the vicinity. Two of tho eszaped
prisoners were serving terms for
burglary. \
Loot Over, $1,000.
The most daring of the oreaks oc-
curred somctimc Saturday night in
Georgetown where $1,000 ‘11 stamps
and some cash was taken after the
safe of the post office had been
dynamited. So much explosive was
used that both the inner and outer
doors of the safe were blown from
their hinges. Entrance was gained
by forcing a rear window. Also dura
ing the night the Georgetown rail-
road station was entered but. noth-
ing of ‘value was taken. The rob-
bcry was discovered by Postmaster
\Vlliiam E. Huzcn yesterday morn-
ing.
The. only 511210 the. identity of
the burglars lies with John Lot ke. a
die setter, who saw three susivcious
looking strangers standing near the
post office as he was passing the
building Saturday night. He p‘ayed
his flashlight upon the men but they
hid their faces.
Report Is Delayed.
Due to the fact that Georgetown
has no constables. deputy shcrlfl or
grand juror. Sergeant John Kc‘ly of
the Ridgefield barracks of the state
police did not hear of the robbery
until last. night. He signified his in-
tcntion of immediately investigating
the matter.
Two burglaries in Monroe Center
and one in Long Hill Saturdav night
are thought to have been the work
of the same trio since residents re-
port secing three strangzrs in the
vicinity at about 1 o‘clock ..cnday
morning.
The general store of Marshall
Beach in Monroe Center was entered
through a. window and 3100 taken
from the cash drawer, and from the
summer home of W‘illard D. Stanley
in the same town a. small sum of
money was stolen. Between 820 and
$30 was obtained in Davey Brothrs’
store at. Long Hill. where entrance
was also gained by forcing a window.
No Amateur “'ork.
State Policeman Leo F. Carroll
and Deputy Sheriff J. Frank Olm-
stead, who are making the investi-
gation, are of the opinion that. none
of these breaks were the work of
amateurs. It is apparent that. the
thieves sought only money. since
many valuable articles were left be-
hind.
A larger haul was made by thieves
who broke into the home of Edward
B. Gallagher at Nor-walk early Sat-
urday morning. In this case several
thousand dollars worth of silverware
was taken. As in all other cases. en-
trance was gained by jimmying a.
avindow. ‘
Still another break is
from Greenwich yesterday, where
thieves. thought to number three,
entered the poultry house on the es-
tate of “Uliam H. Minor and stole
30 prize chickens.
Of interest to the police in this
same connection is the holdup in
New Haven shortly after dark Friday
night when three young men. masked
and with revolvers. held up Mrs.
I. Cornell Moran and her son and
daughter in their home and obtained
$2! in cash.
Three Suspects Herc.
Authorities at work on the rob-
beries are today endeavoring to trace
the three suspicious characters who
were seen loitering in the vicinity of
the Streb Fur factory in Rowayton.
near Nor-walk. yesterday.
One feature of the case which in-
terests the state police is the . fact
that each of the breaks could easily
Murchison the. won: of the guns
men. No turn of the burglaries oc-
curred at the same hour. Traveling
by automobile the same group of
thieves could have been in Norwalk
Friday night, in Georgetown and
Long Hill Saturday night, and in
Greenwich yesterday.
Every effort will be made today to
identify one or more of the trio
which were seen in the vicinity of
the different breaks. and to deter-
mine their possible connection with
the escaped prisoners. One of the
first. moves which the authorities
are expected to make is to show
pictures of the prisoners to those in
G'eorgetown and Long Hill who re-
ported seelng three strange young
men.
The three prisoners who escaped
from the New Haven County jail
Friday night are Curtis and Edison
Boutiller and Justin Francis Toomey.
allias Justin S. Van chkten. They
escaped from the chair factory of
the jail.

Talks on World Peace
The community service held in the
South Norwalk Methodist Church
last night was well attended. The
Rev. I. H. Jacobs conducted the
song service. and a 11's quartette
sang two numbers.
The sermon was upon the topic—
“Tho Peace Plan." and was preach-
ed by the Rev. A. F. Chamberlain.
The speaker emphasises the de-
mands for peace from all parts of
the world stating that every nation
in the world is hoping or actively
planning for international peace.
Peace plans have been : - gested
from many angles—by education
and the forming in the schools of

taught the songs of other rations,
and have the flags expiasncd to
