RURroN mANsFIELD,s BILL


OF $34O for Representing the Library
Commission Tabled by the Board of
Finance.
Burton Mansfield, secretary and treas
urer of the free library commission, pre-
sented bill of $40 to the board of finance
at its meeting yesterday for legal services
rendered the city. Mr.. Mansfield repre-
sentedi the library commission at the hear
ing in the superior court upon the case of
the Young Mems Institute against the city
in regard to the 5000 left by the late
Philip Marett to public library of New
Haven. The suit was brought to decide
whether the city should receive the money
for its free public library or whether the
intent of the generous donor was to give
the money to the Young Mems Institute.
The charter authorizes the mayor to ap-
point an assistant to the corporation coun-
sci in any suit in which the city may
be involved as party, but Mayor
Peck can not recollect that he authorized
Mr.. Mansfield to act in this capacity. The
corporation counsel appeared for the city
at the time and Mr. Mansfield appeared
for the library commission but the charter
does not provide that such service shall be
paid for by the. city. The bill was tabled
by the board in order that Corporation
Counsel Townsend may explain Mr.. Mans
fields position in the matter.
Regular bills approved were as follows:
Police, $40, 227. 81; fire, 81, 466. 70; sundries,

HIS FATE NOT YET KNOWN.

No News as Yet From the Missing
Roy, Herman Richter-TIis Chums
Claim They Saw Him.
Up to a late hour last nigh. no word was
obtained at all concerning the fate or
whereabouts of Herman Richter, who has
been missing since the excursion on the
Elm City Wednesday. His mother, of
course, is worried over his absence, as
only mother can worry, but she has the
assertions of three of her sons chums that
they saw him on the boat all safe and
sound after the excitement over the sup
posed drowning case had occurred. They
are positive in their claims, and it seems
that there must be something true in
them. But if this be the case where is the
young man? He had quite sum of money
about him at the time, and there are the
possibilities Of his having been drugged
and robbed. The Bridgeport police have
county coroner, in case they
should discover the body, in order
that they may report here. No other cases
of any one missing have been reported at
the station as yet, 80 if there was a case of
drowning it looks very much as though
Richter were the victim. He is described
as being rather slight, weighing not over
10 pounds and not quite 10 years of age
He had dark hair closely cut and brushed
back, and blue eyes. He wore striped
suit and black Derby hat and carried a
lady's silver watch. He was very lame.
