POLICE COURT.

Long List of Offenders Face Judge
Bradstreet This Morning.
In the police court to-day John Hayes
was charged with the theft of lady's
gold watch. Nellie Hall was the only
witness against him. She said that she
had left her apartments in Dougherty's
block for a few minutes yesterday
afternoon and as she returned she saw
Hayes coming from her rooms with a
companion. She asked him what he
wanted, and he replied that they were
looking for furnished rooms. Both then
left the block. On entering her rooms
she found her gold watch and chain
missing. Detective Egan was mott
fed and arrested both men soon after
The watch was found in possession of
young Hayes. He admitted his guilt,
said he was eighteen years of age, be-
longed in Bellows Falls, Vermont,
where he had been sent by the Water
bury selectmen some weeks ago, but
had returned to live with his brother-in-
law, the man Rumill, who was with
him yesterday. He was fined $25 and
costs and three months in Jail.
Frank Jessberg was charged with
assault on Mary Loetfler, little girl
eleven years of age. The accused is
fifty years of age and his crime was
in all probability result in a lynching
bee. The man has On various occasions
been befriended by the little girls
father. On Tuesday last he found the
girl alone at her home and attempted
improper relations. She escaped from
him and told one of the neighbors, who
sent her little girl to keep the child
company during the afternoon. Jess
berg after leaving the house on the
morning of the assault said he would
return again in the afternoon, and sure
enough he did, but was again prevented
from his purpose. He was arrested
later. Judge Bradstreet for the sake of
the mans wife let him off with $50 and
costs and thirty days in Jail.
Emma Wade was charged with lasci-
vious carriage and drunkenness. About
1 80 this morning Officers Cahey and
Allen saw several men in the company
of a woman at the lower end of Field
street making for the open lots. They
followed and near the gas house found
the woman lying on the ground, her
clothes disarranged, and beastly drunk.
The men ran away on the officers ap-
proach, but Officer Allen caught one of
them and brought both to the station.
The woman said she was forced by the
men where she was. She said she was
a cook at Harry Eaton's resort below
Naugatuck. She was fined 81 and costs

thirty days in Jail for lascivious carriage.
Michael Commerford was charged with
lascivious carriage. He was one of the
gang in company of the woman. He
was fined 81 and costs.
Charles Pitkievitch was charged with
assault on Rosa Mackouska. Attorney
Brett defended him. The prosecution
tried to make out an attempt at rape,
but the evidence was so contradictory
that Judgment was suspended.

was fined SIS and costs.
Ambrose j. Rumill, charged with
drunkenness, had judgment suspended.

POLICE FOR CHICAGO.
Chief BondHeld Explains why He Wa

Chief BOndfield Explains Why He Wants
Two Omcers From Each Large City.
A letter has been received from Chief
Bondfeld of Chicago explaining in de-
tail the two plans for patrolling the
grounds which have been suggested to
the council of administration. The first
plan is that not less than two exper-
fenced officers from each city in the
United States having population of
%, 900 or more be sent to Chicago to do
duty during the six months of the fair,
that the home department pay the
salaries of the officers and that the
Worlds fair managers paw for the trans
portation of the officers, both ways and
$50 a month for living expenses.
Another plan is to hire not less than
two men from the different states and
cities of the union at a fixed salary
without allowance for expenses or
transportation. Each officer will do
duty one month on each division. In
this way each officer will make a
thorough Ground" of the entire
grounds. AS each division is divided
into two sections. the officers will alter
nate in doing duty on each section.
Each officer will change doing duty
with his companion officer about every
ten days. In this way every officer
will make large acquaintance and in
doing duty with officers from other
cities will learn methods used in other
departments and gain for himself a
wider knowledge.

Retired in Apparently Good Health and
Was Found Dead This Morning.
James Lord, young man employed
as a helper in the Waterbury Farrell
foundry and machine shop, was found
dead in his bed this morning at his
boarding house. 35 Summit street.
Lord was at No As hose house last night
until 10 o'clock, when he went to his
boarding house, and was not at all sick,
but apparently IN perfect health. His
uncle, James Lord. with whom he
boarded, has a child sick with diph-
liberia, and before going to bed he
looked into the room in which the
patient was to make inquiries about
him. This morning at 6 o'clock he was
called to go to work and no answer
being received his uncle went to his
room and found him dead, his head
partly hanging outside the bed. Medi-
cal Examiner North was notified and
after viewing the body gave permission
to have it prepared for burial. When
Or North was seen by reporter he said

flammatorv rheumatism. He is thought
to have died in fit. He was twenty.
nine years old and unmarried, and was
member of Protector Hose company.

MORE ABOUT. THE ROAD BOARD

Commissioner Kelley Gives the Cost of
Stone Crushing and Maintaining the
City Barn. b. a.,
The DEMOCRAT is at liberty to-day to
give the name of the member of the
road board who furnished the informa-
ton contained in the Gas You Like IT,
in Saturdays edition, in regard to the
expense of maintaining the city barn
and the cost of crushing stone at the
Cheshire "notch." It is Edward B.
Kelley. Speaking to a reporter last
the statement in the DEMOCRAT was in
the main correct, the actual facts being
as follows:
Before the road board voted to place
the crusher at Cheshire, bids for fur
nishing crushed stone, delivered in Wa
terbury, were received as follows:
Naugatuck Granite Co, $1.20 per ton;
Lane & Co of Meriden, 1926; Blakeslee
& Son of New Haven, $1.30. After.
ward the first bid was withdrawn, and
neither of the others was accepted. AT
| a meeting of the board of road commits
sioners on June Is, Meriden parties ap'
piled for two hundred tons of stone and
Inspector Wright represented that
seventy five cents ton would allow the
city fair margin of profit. At the first
| meeting of the present year Commits
sioner Kelley inquired into the cost Of
stone crushing during the past season
Inspector Wright was at first not in
clined to produce the desired informa'
ton, but Mayor Webster took sides
with Mr. Kelley and it was finally re
ported by the inspector that 1850 tons
of stone had been crushed at an actua
cost of SO ,055. 1S, or 91t cents per ton. Ado
to this the freight and the cost OF
the stone laid down in Waterbury was
$1.414 cents a ton, 16s cents more thar
the work might have been done by con
tract. Instead of making money on the
stone sold to outside parties the city los
the difference between seventy-iv
cents and 91f cents per ton.
In regard to the city barn Commits
sioner Kelley figures the cost as follows
Salaries, $15.2 5 per day; feed, So; Incl
dentals, including use of the street com
missioner's horse, about So; which
would bring the expense over rathe
than under $50 a day.
In conclusion Mr. Kelley said that h.
would have called attention to thes
matters before, especially to the cost o
stone crushing, but could obtain n
Figures from the street inspector unit
last January. AS a member of tn
board he thought that the public shoul
know just what had been done an
that the board should profit by the eX
kperience of the past year.
