a Gang of TOughs Who Should Be
Summarily Dealt With.
We can not find language sufficiently
strong to condemn the actions of q
certain set of young men who persist in
turning the Bank street evening school
into a bedlam. Last evening these
scholars cut up such high jinks, singing
Salvation Army hymns and playing
every prank they could think of, so that
the lady teachers were bewildered.
These young men never think of the
large expense which the taxpayers of
the district willingly submit to pay
that they might obtain an education.
They are not only injuring themselves,
but they are doing an ingratitude to the
people and an injustice to those who
would profit by the evening school.
We suggest that the teachers take their
names and hand them over to the
proper authorities, without fear or
favor of them, that thew may be dealt
with according to their just deserts. A
few examples will work wonders in the
right direction.

DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
The House of Morton Tracy on South
Main Street Ransacked.

The House of Morton Tracy on South
Main Street Ransacked.
One of the most barefaced robberies
in daylight that has been perpetrated in
this CITY in long time occurred yester
dav afternoon between o'clock and
ago. Mrs Morton Tracy, who lives at
1046 South Main street. went up town
leaving the key of her door under a mat
outside, so that her daughter might be
able to get in when she returned from
school The girl found the key as ex,
uected, opened the door and noticed
nothing wrong. When Mrs Tracy re,
turned she found that a drawer, which
had been used to KEEP articles of value
in. had been opened and that $50 and p
cold watch belonging to Mr. Tracy had
been taken while she had been away.
The family of Henry REYNOLDS lives
MP stairs, but Mrs REYNOLDS had also
been out while Mrs Tracy was awav
There are houses on both sides, and
close to No .046 hut no one had been
seen entering. Three different parties
had been to the door, however, that
Mrs Tracy knew of. two delivery clerks
and the mail carrier. The latter said
that he had met tramp near MI
Snagg's house further up the street, and
that the man asked him for money. He
seems to be the person suspected of thu
robbery. Nothing else was disturbed
in the house.

TELEPHONE STATISTICS.
The System of Metallic Circuits Will
Completed in Two Years.

The System of Metallic Circuits Will Be
Completed in Two Years.
President Morris F. Tyler, of the
Southern New England Telephone COM
pany, said yesterday that the company
hoped to complete in two years the lay
ing of the metallic circuit with copper
wire which was begun three years ago.
Owing to the outlay for the improve
ments no dividends have been paid
since the work was commenced.
In the state there are 5.772 stations of
which 1924 are metallic. New Haven
has the largest number of stations.
1,169, and Of these 1853 are of the new
service. Hartford has 762 stations,
nearly one half Of which are metallic
Bridgeport has 719 stations. OF the
451 stations in Waterbury. less than 100
are metallic, Meriden has 224 stations OF
subscribers, and one-third of them are
on the metallic. One-quarter of the
subscribers in Danbury are on the
metallic.
"The rates will be increased to a
slight extent" said Mr. Tyler, "but the
service will more than balance the add.
tional expenses. For business houses
and offices the rate will be increased SIC
per wear. and to private houses from $2t
to $50 per year.
