Philip Lagana of Railroad avenue, Darieu. has been awarded two first prizes by the Beaux Art Institute in New York. One is a medal for the ’best piece of sculpture turned out and the other. also a medal. for the best student of the year. This recognition will please La- gana's many friends. For seine years past they have known of his faithful study of sculpture. All the spare time that he has been able to take from the business of operating a shoe store. he has spent with clay in his hands—modelling some fig- ure. Ills work began to show above the ordinary when be modelled a portrait head of Joseph Lombardi, which carried a striking likeness. Without any teacher he continued his. work. aided at times by words of commendation from summer resi- dents with artistic bent. Dogs. hu- man figures, groups. he worked on them all. and recognition has come as a result. The winning of the two first med- als is even more significant, as La- gana has only studied at the Beaux Arts school on 75th Street. New York. for the short period of six months. During that time he has spent three or four evenings a week doing night work there. Many of the other students have studied for many years. The awards will be celebrated to- morrow night When Lagana will be tendered a dinner in Greenwich Vil- lage by his fellow students. at which time the medals will be awarded.

PREDICT NEW ADVANCE IN GAS AND AUTO TIRES 2 5 .—\Vall NEW YORK. street. statisticians estimate that there are only 45 days supply of gasoline stocks in storage as against so days supply at this time last year. So great has been the demand for the refined products this year that the oil trade is said to be looking for another general advance of 1 to 2 cents a gallon in gasoline prices. This probably will be followed by an increase in mid-continent crude. June Recent strength of the rubber is- sues has been predicated, in part. on the steady advance in crude rubber prices to the highest level since 1917 and the growing belief that another general upward revision of tire prices is coming next month. The popularity of balloon tires and their widespread substitution for the old styles have been an important fact- or in the heavily increased consump- tion of the raw product. JOHN MORTON.

Cheek; BUILDS HOME OF MATERIALS STOLEN BY GANG Weston Man Held—Is Willing to Pay to Stop Razing of House CHECKING UP State Police Find Bath- tub Buried in Yard An’d House Fixtures In Well WESTPORT. June 25,—Stntc po- lice have little hope of linking up Joseph Lacliiiian. of Old Field road. who is.now held in Danbury for his confessed part in‘ a series of bur- glaries in Weston. with any of the numerous burglaries which were perpetrated in Grccns Farms and Southport several months ago. Lachman is said to have confessed to four burglaries in Weston when he was an associate of Walter Mey- ers, a Westportcr, who last July pleaded guilty to two Weston bur- glaries and is now serving eighteen months in State's prison. The arrest of Laclinian in Dan- bury. and of Edward Horelick. a rcsldciit‘of Iloseviile road. who is now at liberty on a $1,000 bond came as a. surprise. The series of burglaries in Weston. during which wealthy summer homes were rob- bed of everything ranging from plumbing and bathroom fixtures to the wiiidow‘sash and doors. occur- red during the winter of 1923-4. The arrest. a year ago, followed by a conviction of Meyers. did not end the case. evidently. for Sergeant Frank Virelli of the state police came here Monday night and took Horellck into custody and recovered some of the loot which had been buried in the yard or hidden at the bottom of a well. According to the police they had knowledge at the time of Meyers' arrest, that Lachman and Horelick were involved. Horelick at that time is said to have told a story far different from the confession he is said to have made Monday night when he was arrested. About a month ago State Police- man Leo Carroll arrested “Fred Wood" of 27 Maple avenue, Dan- bury. for reckless driving in that town. “Wood" had no operator's license under that name and he was fined $25 and costs. Sergeant Vir- elli began cliecklng up on “Wood" through the motor vehicle depart- ment's records and finally caused "Wood's" arrest on the charge of perjury when it was found that he was the much wanted Lachman. The police claim to have unearthed much stuff in Lachman's room. in- cluding expensive bird feathers, wrist watches and pearl necklaces. all in individual boxes. which they believe was stolen. After obtaining a signed state- ment from Lachman. Sergeant Vir- elll came here Monday night and found Horelick who also confessed that he had built his home in Rose- ville road of much of the material stolen by the‘Meycrs' gang. He is said to have agreed to pay for every. thing used in his house to avoid the necessity of having it torn down and restored to its original owners. Sergeant Virelll said today that Lachnian had confessed to breaking into Judge Keogh's house in Wes- ton and taking tools and paint which contractors had left there preparatory to working on‘ the house. This paint was bought by Horelick and used on his house when completed. While Steve Hig- gins of South Norwalk was building a house in ‘Weston the police say Lachman carted off Twenty-five bundles of shingles which Horelick bought and used on his house.
