“I
They Were Checked.
“The article which the ‘GAZZETTE’ had
in its last evening’s issue in regard to
seats being checked off for theJohnson &
Yoerger entertainment before the time
announced is false and the management
is ready to back its statement. The
chart was not sent uptown until almost
“ time to open and many good seats re-
main.”
We are not surprised at the above
uugentlemanly effusion from the News
when we stop to consider the authority
from which it emanated, but we are
somewhat startled at the effort made
by that journal in spelling the word
GAZETTE. However, anyone who would
accuse another of falsification without
making an investigation of the facts,
is very liable to get a bad case of rattles.
As to the statement made by the GA—
ZETTE that seats had been checked off
prior to the chart being opened 'to the
- public at 9 o’clock, we reiterate the
the charge and stand ready to prove the
assertion by reputable witnesses.
Mr. George H. Allen, the cigar dealer,
asserts that he was the first one present
to check off seats on Monday morning,
arriving prior to 9 o'clock and waiting
until the clock indicated the hour when
He further a..-
the chart was to open.
ssrts that when the chart was produced
the entire first row had been checked
off and that the young man in charge
told him they had been so checked,
Mr. Allen also gave the GAZETTE the
names of other witnesses who were
present at the time. p
A GAZETTE representative learning of
he complaints being made over the
affair, interviewed the young man and
elicited the information that when he
fir st saw the chart early in the morning
seats had been checked 011‘, but he did
not know who did it nor when it was
done.
Whether these seats were checked
ofi‘ at South Norwalk before the chart
was 'sent up town we do not know, but
we are willing to abide by the statement
Of those who first saw the chart when
opened to the public, the author of the
impudent denial and the News to the
contrary notwithstanding.

Rhode Island Votes To-day.
The elections Of Monday and Tuesday
in Ohio, Connecticut, Michigan, Wis-
consin and other States were chiefly
local and turned upon purely local
issues, and while the general preponder-
ance of votes was on the Republican
side, there were a sufficient number of
marked exceptions to show that the
people are growing more inclined to
regard local issues in municipal elect-
ions of greater importance than mere
partisanship.
The first state election of the season
in which a full list of state officers and
u. Legislature will be chOSen, will occur
ta-day in Rhode Island. A vote will
also be taken on an amendment to the
State Constitution providing for bien-
nial sessions of the Legislature. On
the election of state officers and mem-
bers of the Legislature party lines will
be drhwn, and while there is no reason.-
able doubt that the Republicans will
carry the State, the size of the Repub
lican majority will indicate in some de-
gree the present attitude of those upon
whom the bonds of party rest lightly
as influenced by the record of the late
Congress.
This is about all there is in the
Rhode Island election to interest any
one outside the little State. The bien—
nial session idea might well be ex-
tended to include biennial elections
and a two-year term for State officers,
but that isa matter for. the voters of
Rhode Island exclusively. If they
prefer to elect 9. Governor and other
State Officers every year no one else
has a right to object.

Saved Them Both.
Two children, aged 3 and 2 respective-
ly, of Editor Lecrenier of the Moodus
Advertiser, had a narrow escape from
drowning in a pond back of Fowler’s
laboratory, Sunday morning. The
youngerlay down to drink from the
pond and fell in where the water was
deep. The elder plunged in to save
her, while a 6 years old brother ran
home. The father, who was sick abed,
arose and ran in his night clothes to
the rescue. Hevfound the babe lying
in the water on its face partly held up
by its heavy cloak. The elder child
was going down for the last time. He
saved them both.
Trouble in the Mutual Reserve 00.
The report of Superintendent of In-
surance James F. Pierce, of New York,
upon the Mutual Reserve Fund Life
Association, after an examination ,by
the chief clerk of the department is not
satisfactory to all interested persons.
It is alleged among other things that
the company has compromised its death
policies, and it is said that proceedings
for the reorganization or dissolution of
the company will 'be commenced at
once.
President Harper says that a further
investigation will show that there are
no discrepancies in the company’s re-
port. ‘
There are quite a number of Norwalk
people who have risks with the eom~
pany and who will anxiously await
further developments.

church presided. Several district
presidents reported the progress of
their territory. Rev. A. S. Kavanagh
of South Norwalk, made the address.
Bisliog) Warren arrived at a late hour
and was given an iLformal reception.
Proceeding the evening session the
church corridors Were the scene of an
informal recept.on of members. In
the class rooms adjoining the ;examina-
tionof the four classes of candidates
were conducted.
Forty students presented themselves
for these examinations. Of these ten
are candidates for the diaecnate and
for the eldership. The remainder are
divided between preliminary examina-
tions for those two orders. But two
offered themselves for the first year of

tered by the French government as a trans-

They Have Robbed the United States
Express Company of $75,000.
HOW THE GAME WAS WORKED
l‘lie Billing Clerk Had the Opportunity to
Steal and Promptly Availed Himself
of Iii—Reputable Persons Said
to Be Implicated.
JERSEY CITY, April 8.—The circum-
stances ‘of an extensive robbery of the
United States Express company were dis-
closed today in the first criminal court.
The company, as far as can be ascertained,
has lost at least $75,000. The manager
W. H. Thompson, is inclinedto believe
that the thefts from the company aggre-
gate an even larger sum.
The thieves are in custody and have
confessed their guilt and have at the same
time implicated at least four reputable
persons. The prisoners are: Herbert Hard-
ing, 26 yea: old, and Clarence Warbcck,
19 years 01" They were arraigned before
Justice Potts on the formal charge of
grand larceny preferred by Mr. Thompson
and committed Wit-bout bail for a further
examination.
According to a statement made by the
manager to Chief of Police Murphy, the
robberies were begun last June, and con;
tinued uninterrupted until last night,
when Harding was detected. He was in-
troduccd to Mr. Thompson last May, and
had good recommendations. Early in
June, Harding was employed by the com-
pany and delegated to the position of bill
clerk at the receiving and shipping depart-
ment at Communipaw, near, the Central
railroad station. Warbeck.~the other pris-
oner, is a cousin of Harding. and he was
employed as a helper on one of- the express
wagons that receive and deposit packages
at the Communipaw station;
complaints Began I’romptly.
Harding had been in the bill clerk’s po-
sition only a few days when complaints
began to pour into the manager that “C.
O. D.” packages Were apparently miscar-
rying. The complaints aroused Mr.
Thompson’s suspicious, and he reported
the case to the head officials of the compa-
ny. The company’s detectives Were order-
ed to make an investigation. A close
watch was kept on the drivers and help,-
ers of the wagons, but for awhile nothing
wrong was discovered. Packages contin-
ued to disappear with regularity. The‘
climax was reached when a package con-
taining $7,000 worth of jewelry was miss-
ed. Mr. Thompson again appealed to the
company’s head officers, and a dozen or
more detectives were put on the ease. Dc-
lit
44_
coy packages were sent, and they. too, disap- ‘
poured without leading to any discovery.
The thieves were evidently becoming
bolder, as not only were small “C. O. D.”
bundles disappearing. but boxed bicycles.
Detectives were finally stationed in the
shipping department, and a close watch
was kept on Harding every moment he
was employed. Still there was ‘no abate-
ment of the robberies.
Yesterday afternoon, however, when the”
office was to all appearances deserted}
Harding was seen 'to glance cautiously.
about the room, and seeing no one seize
a “C. O. D.” package, rip the shipment
card off and destroy the address. He was
about to rcaddress and rcbill it when one
of the company’s detectives stopped from
behind a box of dry goods and placed
him under arrest. Harding at once broke
down-completely and wept like a child. '
'I-Iarding’s Confession.
He was taken before Mr. Thompson
without delay and to him made the fol-
lowing confession:
“I began stealing C. O. D. packages
Inst J une, and I gave them to my cousin,
Clarence War-beck, to dispose of. We were
to have divided the proceeds, but I got
very little of it. I have not gbt a. cent of
money now. I don’t want to say to whom
the bicycles were sent. ”
In a subsequent confession to Chief Mur-
phy be said that he had given Manager
Thompson the names and addresses of ev-
ery man connected with the scheme to rob
the company.
The procedure was simple. Harding as
bill clerk received every package that en-
tered the office. He changed the addresses
and threw the packages into one corner.
The addresses he wrote were those of men
designated to receive and dispose of the
stolen goods. It was also arranged that
the goods should be marked for shipment
to points not on the lines of the United
States Express company.- Warbeck always
took the readdressed packages and loaded
them on his wagon. ' After delivering all
his legitimate packages the readdresscd
ones were left with some other company
to be forwarded. Many of the stolen pack-
ages were shipped out west, but a greater
number of them, it has been discovered,
were shipped to and received by a. man in.
Binghamton, N. Y.
. An hour after Harding’s arrest Warbeck
was also taken into custody. He, too, ac-
knowledges his guilt. Today he made the
following confession to Chief of Police
Murphy: ”I am guilty. I helped to steal
and dispose of the stuff.”
The police expect to have every man con-
nected with the robbery under arrest
within 2i hours. The men in the west
who are implicated are under surveillance,
and it is also reported that the other men
interested can be arrested at a moment’s
notice.
Rent IncreasesMay‘ Cause a. Strike.
UNIONTOWN, Pa, April 3.—-The coke
workers Were greatly excited today when
informed that the rents of company houses
had been advanced from 30 to 40 per cent,
and; talk; of a general strike throughout
the region is general. The men claim that
the recent advance of 16 per cent in wages
which went into effect yesterday was only
a ruse to prevent a strike, as they will not
be benefited in the least by it.

Q‘VHITINVILLE. Mass... April 3.—The East
