The Youghiogheny Threatening.

 No clue has as yet been discovered as to the perpetrators of the burglaries in the city. The work was so systemati- cally done that it is generally be- lieved professionals were the burglars. At the residence of T. H. Hayes the gas had been left burning in the chamber of MT and Mrs Hayes. The burglar must have first taken a survey of the premises and then after turning out the gas, proceeded with his work in the darkness. The gas was not burning in the morning. MT Hayes has had postal cards pricted and seut throughout the country offering a reward for the arrest and conviction of the thief and return of the property. He asks information to be sent to the chief of police. He describes the valuables taken as follows:
 One open face stop watch, small size. heavy gold cases, American Watch com- pany movement; gold chain. short square links, K. of c. charm, with emblem on one side and monogram 1T. H. II. on the other. One II k. dian ond, the stone fitted with a setting to screw into a stud.

Obliged to Pay Sa Each Ne For n
 License. Although Only O EHnmI-
 nation Is Required.
 The local pharmacists are receiving their license certificates from the state board of pharmacy commissioners for 1925. Drug clerks consider the law re- Quiring them to renew their license an- nually at an expense of $2, a great in us- tice, and an effort is being made to do away with this order of things and arrange matters so that once an applicant passes a successful examination before the state board and receives a diploma stating that he is competent to compound chemicals that Is all that will be required. There | are 675 licensed pharmacists in Connecti- | cut and the number is constantly increas- ing These men cannot see what good purpose it serves to ask that the license be renewed every year. They are not put through an examination. All they have to do is send S2 to the state board and a license certificate is forwarded for the cur | rent year.
 X druggist, who has dozen of those documents in his trunk, told reporter of the DEMOCRAT to-day that he looked upon the matter as useless proceeding. He said: Why should a druggist, who passes n successful examination and holds a certificate to that effect, be asked to renew that every year any more than any other professional man? got my license to-day and hope it is the last time I shall be obliged to apply for one. I could turn that money to better account, but then, he added.

CROSS FOR MAYOR.
That is the Programme That the Re- publican Charter Makers Have in MInd-TrOublc Over the Appointment of City Attorney

That is the Programme That the Re- publican Charter Makers Have in
 MInd-TrOuble Over the Appointment
 Of City AttOrneyl
 The republican charter makers are not saying much those spring days, but they are thinking hard. Without much doubt the next move will be to submit the matter to the general assembly. but not much can be looked for in that quarter. for several reasons. Itis not thought that the iegisla- ture will bother with a measure which not only has failed to receive the endorsement of the common council, but upon which even the republicans are not entirely in harmony.
 According to the republican programme, so the DEMOCRAT learns, Alderman F. E. Gross is selected for mayor. Mir Cross comes pretty near being the republi- can leader in the council. He knows the history of local politics thoroughly and is looked up to by his colleagues in the alder manic chamber. We all like MT Cross and admire the good judgment exercised by the republicans in slating him for mayor. water that he will fail of election. Alderman Cross is doing the lions share of work on the new charter.
 One of the principal reasons why the new charter does not receive united repub- lican support is because no agreement can be reached in regard to the city attorney ship. It is no secret that the republicans of the council are not,a unit in favor of retaining Colonel Burpee in this position He has enemies on the boards who will oppose him tooth and nail. and as Colonel | Burpee's hand is seen in some of the pro posed changes in the revised charter his opponents are little afraid of the docu, ment.
 All of which strengthens the belief that | the new charter is as dead hs a door nail.

Contractor Daniel T. Altman Under
 Arrest Claims That The Horse
 Was His Brothers Property.
 Contractor Daniel T. Altman of 22 Pleas ant street was arrested this morning by Officer Allen on warrant charging him with horse stealing. A telephone message came from the chief of police of Merlden Sunday night, stating that horse had been taken from a stable there by Water buy man named Altman and it was under stood that the animal had been attached while owned by Altman some months ago and was not his property.
 Altman was seen at the station thls after noon and told the following story: The horse in question was owned by his brother David Altman. Early in the winter Fred J. Wood. the coal and wood dealer, asked for the use of the horse for the win ter. He was granted that privilege on condition that he should furnish Allman's house with coal and also board the horse The Allmans were to have the use of the horse whenever they demanded is. Wood sent the horse over to his brother George in Meriden, who also runs coal yard, Last week Altman asked Wood to get the horse for hlm as he wanted to use him on Mon day morning. Fearing that the latter would not get the horse, on the advice Of an attorney, he went over to Meflden sun day to get it himself. He hunted for George Wood for two hours. but could not find him. He heard that he had received a telegram from Waterbury and had gone away. He went to the barn where the horse was and took the animal | away That Is all he knews about the charge of horse stealing and he insists that the horse belonged to his brother and was not under attachment.
 Chief Egan telephoned to Meriden of | Allmans arrest and Lieutenant Bowen came over this afternoon. He will take Altman to Meriden at 5 o'clock. The horse is POW being used by David Altman at work on the roads.

|. Chase's Display.

The annual spring and summer opening now going on atI. Chass's millinery rooms, Exchange place, is attracting more than usual attention. The display of spring bonnets and hats in all varieties is remark able and the visitor stands spellbound at the artistic triumphs in the show window and on the counters on the inside. The small hat will be in greater demand this season than it was last year, but the larger ones are sure to find many admirers. The crowns of the larger shapes are much higher than those of last season Each color has it's own army of admirers. Last year the brown and grey predotinated over all others. but Mr Chase thinks the white leRhorn will be the faVorite this season as soon as the fine weather sets in. Chiffon flowers and feathers snG rhine stone orna- msnts will be used extensively in tfim- ming. There are enough styles in the market to suit the taste of the most tasti- tIous Waterbury belle. The designs in children's hats excel all previous seasons, While the display proper closes to- night, still it will continue until the present stock has been disposed of
