FREE PUBLIC LIBR4RY.
Ann ual Reports Madeto the Directors Last
Nieht.

~ 'N-S
Night.
| At the regular meeting of the board
of directors of the free public library A..
Maxey Hitler presided and there were
present Virgil F. Mcneil, Rev. Edward
s. Lines, ]. Rice Winchell, E. C. Cool
idge, S. r. Avis, Alderman Stanley
and M. Sonnenberg. The annual re-
ports of the treasurer, finance commit
| tee and librarian We're received. The
common council will be asked for SIS, 900
| for the coming year, the bill appropria-
| ton allowed by law. This is $4,000
| more than last years estimate, but 1t
| costs $4,000 per year for the running
| expenses of the library, and books have
been purchased from the Marett fund.
Librarian Stetson's report shows a to-
tai of 29,906 volumes in the library.
There was a total of 1881 additions,
with net additions of 2,157. Net addi-
tions are 1900 less than last year owing
| to the very large number of books worn
| Tout which it was necessary to replace.
| Ilit supply vi popuIdi bOOho nS' sinai
| in proportion to the demand. This
means difficulty on the part of readers
| in getting the books wanted, and much
wear and tear on the books, involving a
large expense for the rebinding and re-
placing of worn out books.
There is a special demand for books
| for school use; but with the present re
| sources it is impossible to meet it at all
completely.
The increase in the number of borrow
ems was over 10 per cent. for the year.
Upon the throwing open of the shelves,
| the number of new cards issued imme-
diately increased so per cent The in
crease in the number of books circulated
| Immediately after and since the shelves
were thrown open is also very marked
| The total circulation of the year was
232,014.
An important improvement is the re-
moval of the periodical reading room
upstairs and the use of the reading room
downstairs for reference books only, CIV
| ing more than double the amount of ac-
commoda tions for readers. The sepa-
ration of the juvenile books from the
| OtDeF ana the prov lSlOU OI special read
| ing tables, etc, for children, is another
| marked convenience.
On June 9th the experiment of ad-
mitting all persons to the shelves for
| personal relation of books and has been
eagerly accepted by most of those using
the library. Inconvenience from crowd
ing has been felt only in the fiction de-
partment and a widening of the space
between cases has obviated the difficulty
there except on rare occasions. The
arrangemnt on the whole seems to give
great salts faction.
Three numbers of the bulletin were
issued last year, but its publication had
to be discontinued. 1t is hoped that it
will be possible to resume its publica-
ton this year. A supplement to the
catalogue is in preparation and will
probably be issued during the winter.
Special attention will be given here
after to the reference room and it will
be made one of the most valuable de-
partments in the library.

HAND NOT GUILTY.
Shock Of His Arrest Causes His Fiance's
Death.

Shock Of His Arrest Causes His Fiance's
Death.
Alfred Hand, conductor on the New
Haven Street Railway company, was
placed on trial in the city court yester-
day afternoon before Judge Dow, charg-
ed with assault ON Annie Schwab. Hand
Is the SON of J. Howard Hand, formerly
pastor of the East Pearl street church,
but is now located in Brooklyn, N. Y.
After the testimony of the girl was
heard, she being the only witness for
the state, Hand was called to tne stand
and stated that the accusation was
made through spite as he had put the
girl off his car few days previous for
misbehavior with another female friend
Of hers James Maher, a nlotorman
testified that on the might in question:
September IL, there was a picnic of the
employees of the railroad at Lighthouse
Point and Hand was with him and 9th
err male companions all the evening.
A sad feature Of the case was the fact
that when Hand was arrested at his
boarding house place with Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnson at Clinton avenue, the police
informed the people there what the
charge was. Hand was engaged to be
married to Bertha johnson, highly es-
timable young lady, and the shock os
the arrest caused the young lady to
have nervous prostration. She was re-
moved to Grace hospital and died there
a few days ago.
Attorney Charles N. Fowler made an
eloquent plea, for Hand and Judge Dow
discharged the prisoner.
Arthur s. Butler, a motorman, was
acquitted Of the charge Of assault on
Maggie Eagan, as the testimony was
insufficient to hold him. He was bound
over two weeks ago to the superior
court for assault on Annie Schwab.

Philadelphia, Oct. 29-Much comment
has been excited by a recent visit to
New Haven of DR.. J. william White, Of
the University Of Pennsylvania, on ac-
count of his interest in football and in
college athletics generally. 1t was sup-
posed that the visit indicated the COM
ing together in the near future of Yale
and Pennsylvania on the football field.
This supposition was strengthened by
the fact that DR.. White was the guest
of Professor Eugene Richards, who oc-
cupies a position in the Yale faculty as.
regards athletics similar to that held
by DR.. White at Pennsylvania. The
facts are that DR.. White met Doctors
Bacon, Russell and Daggett, of New
Haven, in consultation over a surgical
case and dined with Professor Richards
before his return. Both parties des-
cribe their talk as a friendly Unofficial
discussion Of the present situation as
to college athletics in this country and
both are said to state with regret that
so far as they know there is no pros
pect of a game between Yale and Penn
sylvania this year.

Enlarging Factory--A Further Enlarge
ment to be Made-FOrce of Hands
Doubled and Working Twelve Hours a
Day.
Business is booming at the John Adt
& Son mandatory and the new pro-
prietor, Mr.. Franklin b. Shuster, has
reason to be gratified at the way his
business is increasing, 1t has increased
so extensively since he took hold that
he has doubled his force Of employees
and to keep pace with the orders the
entire force is working twelve hours
day and Mr.. ShuSter says the orders
are such as to ensure very busy win
ter at the factory in all departments.
Mr.. Shuster has recently purchased the
entire plant-at an expense of about $4O,-
900. 1t includes a considerable plot Of
land and owing to the demands of the
business new fire proof building is to
be erected for patterns, drawings and
special tools. The pattern room itself
in the main building is now being en-
larged to more than double it's old size
The firm is also now building another
monster automatic wire Strengthening
and bending machine. The monster
machine of this kind made few weeks
ago for the Holmes, Booth G Hayden
factory in Waterbury broke all records,
but this one is much larger even than
that one and 'ttakes the cake as the
largest one Of it's kind ever made in
the world. 1t is for the largest wire
manufacturing concern, in the world.
1t is indeed a Weighty and mammoth
machine. These machines are famous
the world over and they are shipped
by this firm to every civilized nation
of the globe. The firm is also now
making great deal of special machin-
cry to order, and the orders for this
department are coming in rapidly. MIR
Shuster is also manufacturing special
tools for manufacturing a newly in
vented sheet metal article, which is one
of Mr.. Shuster's many inventions. The
force of employees at the shop is the
largest in the history of this old and
prosperous manufactory.

REp0Rr rNEouNp Ep.


London, Oct. 29-It is stated at the
Russian embassy here that a telegram
was received some days ago from Prince
Lobanoff- -Rostovsky, the Russian for
eign minister declaring that the report
that a secret treaty had been concluded
between Russia and China is unfound-
ed. The sole object of Wong-Chi-Chu-
ans visit to st. Petersburg, so far as
the embassy is aware, was to congrat-
ulate the czar upon his accession to the
throne. The embassy knows nothing
whatever of fWong-Chi-Chuan being the
bearer of a secret treaty and is equally
ignorant of any steps betting taken by
Russia to build railway in Chinese
territory. The Siberian railway has
now reached Omsk and there has heen
no project to extend it 10 Tsitslhar. The
railway from Vladivostock is laid in q
northerly direction to Lake Baitkal also
to join the Omsk railway, and does not
touch Chinese territory.
The officials at the embassy further
stated that they are not aware that
at Port Arthur for her vessels beyond
what is conceded other powers. Tile
statement is incorrect that Russian
squadron or any part of Russian
squadron will be stationed permanent
ly at Port Arthur Nothing is known
at the embassy of the speech attributed
to the governor of eastern Siberia IN
which he was made to say that Vlad-
livestock must remain in the Russian
headquarters, although part of the fleet
would be at Port Arthur. 1t could only
be said that he would have nothing to
do with the governments policy in such
matters.
In conclusion a denial was entered OF
all the reports current regarding Rus
sia's action in the east The origin OF
the reports, the officials declared, they
were unable to explain. 1t is remarked
in other we'll informed quarters thai
japan is still occupying Port Arthur ant
that Russians could be duly there with
Japan's permission.

.4CTIVE ACTION TAKEN.
Board of Health OF Lynn Acts on Strikers
Petition.


Lynn, Mass, Oct. 29.-The board of
health took action on the petition Of
the striking molders of the General
Electric company for an investigation
into the sanitary conditions of the
non-union molders who are being hous-
ed by the General Electric company
inside its foundry buildings at West
Lynn Inspectors visited the works to-
day, but found the conditions such as
not to warrant the taking of action
by the investigators. The inspectors
would not make public their findings
hut will submit their official report to
the board of health at its regular meet
ing Monday evening.
Meanwhile the strikers are redoubling
their vigilance in order to send iron
molders away from the city who may
come to Lynn looking for work in the
General Electric foundries and they
have been fairly successful. The strik-
ers are comfortably housed for picket
duty in a house abutting on the
"River Works. property and some of
their leaders tsate that they will keep
up the fight all winter unless the com
pany accedes to their demands
The officers of the iron and brass
union regard the strike as of vast inn
portance as so far this corporation has
been the only one in the eastern states
to make a stand against ethe interna-
tional organization. The special police
hired for duty at the 'River Works"
have an easy time on guard. The citi-
zens are waiting patiently for set
tlement by the state board of arbitra-
tfon and the belief is general that eff
forts will be crowned with success.

questions placed England in such a po-
sition that she would be unable to ig-

Sheriff of Hot Springs Was Deputlzeo TO
Arrest the Fighters.
Hot Springs, Ark, Oct. 29-Sheriff
Booker of Pulaski county, in which Lit
tile Rock is situated, arrived here on the
o'clock train, bringing a sealed packet
of papers with ins tructions from Cover
nor Clark to deliver them to Sheriff
Houpt of this (Garland county and to
await the lattar's action. Sheriff Booker
was met by Representative South, who
is still here watching the movements of
Brady and party, and the citizens com
mittee I'M the interests of the governor,
and they both proceeded to the sheriff IS
office
That official being now on the state
line awaiting the arrival of Fitzsim-
mons, the package was opened by the
chief deputy. Its contents We're four
teen warrants calling for the arrest of
Corbett, Brady and their party and the
production of each individual tomorrow
afternoon in Little Rock. The warrants
were based upon information sworn out
by Attorney General Trustworthy in pre-
cisely the same language as that en-
ployed in securing the papers for the
arrest of Fitzsimmons, setting forth
that the principals to the proposed fight
We're about to engage in a contest
wherein might result tine killing of one
or the other and should, therefore, be
held to maintain the peace. Deputy
Sheriff Tate was the only other attache
of the office on hand, and to him the
l,l fo,,
service.
Tate took his time to think over the
matter. Shortly after O'clock he
sought out South and Hooker and after
a conference of fifteen minutes an
nuonced that he could not serve the
warrants for the reason that the men
were already in the custody of the au-
thorities of Garland county. Sheriff
Booker, upon being satisfied, said he
would make no effort to enforce the
mandates ne had brought with him.
Hope, Ark, Oct. 29,LWhen the west
bound train came to Texarkana over
the Texas and Pacific from San Antonio
to-day Sheriff billiard of Texarkana and
Deputy Sheriff Heard of Little Rock
went through it, but Fitzsimmons was
not aboard. A report was circulated
that the Fitzsimmons party had left
the train a few miles west Of the town
and had gone over in a hack to a sta
ton east of the town in order to avoid
arrest and so as to reboard the train.
When this train left Texarkana the two
officers went aboard and rode as far as
Hope, thirty miles distant, where they
now are.
They will go west again tonight and
search the north-bound train, which
they will meet at Homan, halfway be-
tween Hope and Texarkana There is
good ground for believing that Fitzsim-
mons baggage was on to-day's train,
and the officers are hopeful that they
will catch him on to-night's train. Just
as the train pulled out of Texark ma this
afternoon Officer Heard received a tele-
gram from Governor Clark, the closing
words of which were: Catch Fitzsim-
mons or stop him regardless of conse-
quences. Do not fall

The Durrant Trial.

San Francisco, Oct. 29.-General
Dickinson concluded his address in be-
half of Durrant this morning. He went
over all the ground again and in addi-
ton attacked Pawnbroker Oppenheim
stating that Durrant had money and
there was no necessity for his pawning
the ring, that he would have been a
fool to have taken such chances, and
thus direct suspicion against himself
The speaker paid some attention to the
women witnesses and declared that they
were unreliable and certainly mistaken
as to the evidence they had given. The
testimony adduced at the trial had been
purely circumstantial, he said, and, fur
thermore, two persons must have com
mitted the crime, Durrant being ply
sically incapableEof doing it. The coun-
sci concluded by hoping that the jury
would restore Durrant to his family and
to his pursuits.
