Ahree West Haven Boys Steal Load or
 Brick and DemOIish Foundation.

Brick and DemOIish Foundation.
 When Julius Hanson of Allingtown unloaded a lot of brick on his land some time ago he, of course, expected to lind 1t there when the time came to build. But a. few days ago he came and found that about 500 bricks, some what more than a good load, had been stolen, A neighbor informed him that three boys had come with a wagon and carted them off, Not content with that they tore down part of the foundation wall and carted that away, too. Han son swore out warrants for Reuben Truly, Joseph McDermott and John McCue. The warrants were given to Officer Johnson of the West Haven po- lice, and he arrested two of them, and was on still hunt for the third late Saturday. The boys claim they took the material to fill up holes in their back yards. one of the boys was carting away lot Of mortar and broken brick from a scrap heap when a companion came along and told him of Hanson's brick pile. The chance was too tempting and when third boy was found they set out. The boys range from fifteen to seven teen years In age. Their parents are respectable residents of West Haven and have offered to settle with Hanson if he will drop the matter. He, how ever, Is obdurate and intends to push the prosecution at the hearing this morning in the West Haven town hall West Haven and Savin Rock Notes. The big pole that supports the stere- opticon canvas, which was shattered by | lightning last Friday, has already been replaced.

 boats have had their noses up agains the Kimberly avenue bridge over Wes,

 water to subside. Unless that happens
 within a day or two they intend to fl the boats with water so as to sit low
 in the stream and get under in that

 amount of work in baling out after tho

on the West side yesterday the relief
committees were doing a good work,
although it will require another day
to get all Of the fifteen families set
tied. Each family is allowed one large
school room, which is free from bench
es or tables, etc. Into these apart
ments the families have carried all the
effects rescued from their houses. AS
the school building is an old fashioned
structure, each room is provided with
stove pipe, and the process Of heat
ing the rooms is simple as the families
rescued their stoves first The relief
committees will furnish fuel and pro-
visions as fast as they are needed.
Yesterday the work of providing fuel,
etc, went on swiftly, but without sys-
tenn. The givers will be asked to bring
their offerings on certain days to pre-
vent all the contributions coming in
at one time. Among those who did ex-
cellent work yesterday were Miss Lot
tie Benz, Mrs. Col. Allen, Miss Thorn
tOn Miss Holmes, Miss Manifold and
members of the St. Vincent de Paul

Rg continually evaded, and today the
anarchy in Crete and the confusion I'M
European counsels are worse than be-
fore. The replies Of the parliamentary
secretary for the foreign office, Mr..
Curzon, to inquiries on the subject,
show it to be by no means certain
that all the powers have actually
agreed to blockade the Greek ports.
The latest news indicates that France
and Italy are still adverse to this
course.
The fact that the powers distrust
each other reduces them to impotence.
None of them wants q general war, no4
body being able to foresee what It's
eventual result will be. 1t Is believed
that Russia and Germany, and PERI

that, Turkey being victorious, 1t will

AS soon as the Bashi Bazouks began
firing on the insurgents, the latter re-
turned the fire and killed some Of their
assailants. The international forces
did not take a step to prevent this col
lision, which might have resulted in
the massacre of large numbers Of wom-
en- and children, to say nothing of the
insurgents who had moved from q
practically impregnable position down
to an exposed plain, in the belief that
the foreign admirals had guaranteed
them safe passage across the plains
to the hills inland, where the Bashi
BazOuks would not dare to follow them.
The foreign war ships in Suda bay
did not fire a shot to check the on
slaught, although it was impossible
for the officers to be ignorant of the
fact that fighting was in progress
around the band which had left the
Businesses of Akrotiri, to all intents
and purposes under the guarantee Of
the great powers Of Europe. Finally,
when it was no longer possible to ig-
more the attack of the Bashi Bazouks,
orders were sent to the international

ament Of the Turks. These instruc-
lions, however, were sent too late to

Officers patroled the tracks at times
from Jackson street to the high bridge.

the material was dumped down under

On the upper levee matters were
