FIGHT 1T OF COURSE.
Early Obstruction to Manual Training
School Develops.

Some of the members of the. board of
education are preparing to fight the
scheme of the board to sell off the builds
ings which now are on the Martin pro-
perty at Eighth and Harrison. The
buildings have been advertised for sale
1t is claimed that the board of 'educa-
ton had no right to pay $4,000 for an
option on that property before the bonds
for that purpose were voted.
E. E. Roudebush. one of the members
of the board. is securing the advice of
the city attorney on the subject. and
says that many people object to the
way the board has of transacting bust
ness.
4 claim that the board had no right
to pay out $4,000 for an ostion on that
property. 1t should have waited for the
bonds to be issued Now in case the
bonds fail to carry, the board will be
left with an annual interest charge of
$500 against it. and this may run on
indefinitely. 7 don't believe the action
of the board in taking the option was
legal. 1 don't believe the board has
any right to offer the buildings for sale.
The option is void. and it will be a
risky move for the board to try to sell
off the buildings under that option"

A NOTED CRIMINAL,

Max Wolfe, one of the six men arrest ed at the depot on the day of the New London races on the technical charge of idlenesss was sentenced to sixty days in jail by Judge Dow in the city court yesterday. II iWolfe's record when read in court was by no means encouraging to the defense. Among the items shown was the record that the man, under an- other name. had been held for reprehen- sible operations in New Orleans during the recent Mardi Gras carnival and also in some score of other cities. The de- ifense pressed the court to be lenient on the ground that the man had commit ted no crime in, this city, but the court evidently appreciated the fact that the speedy arrest prevented the presenta- tion of opportunity, and did not consid- CT the appeal. The finding was that of guilty and the appeal bonds were fixed at s200.

THE MEL0Y. s& co, SUIT AGAINST PROMINENT NEW HAVEN BUSI-

NESS MEN. In the case of Andrew D. Meloy 6 Co.'S big suit against seven prominent business men of this city, the facts in
 the case are stated to be as follows:
 Some time in December, 1901, Meloy & Co, of New York, opened an office in
 the Exchange building in this city and
 placed Willis S. Crofutt in charge. To
 assist him William Calhoun and John W. Church were sent from New York.
 They were anxious to find some person
 who owned a block which would be traded for some of their stock. They
 asked a prominent real estate agent if
 he knew of such a person. He said that
 Mir Donnelly had place, and that he (Donnelly) might trade under these cir cumstances Mir. Donnelly was brought into their office and he said he would take S2o, 060 worth of their stock for his equity. The agents of Meloy & Co. saw the property and they employed q real estate agent to act as an appraiser, au- thorizing him to get another man to go with him to make an appraisal, which was done without any instructions from
 Mir. Donnelly whatsoever. The agents of Meloy & Go. then came to MT. Don- nelly and said that they could not get the deal through for $25,O00 worth of stock, but thought they could for s15,O0o worth of stock Mir. Donnelly agreed to accept $15,O0O worth of stock. After
 this other representatives of Meloy &
 Co. came to New Haven to look up the property, returned to New York and a few days afterwards telegraphed their agents here to have MT, Donnelly at Lawyer Penney's office in the Exchange | building at 10 o'clock next day (Janu-
 ary IA, 19O2), and to be prepared to
 make transfer of the property. Besides
 the three local agents of Meloy &; Co.,,
 the treasurer of the company and a I lawyer from New York came to New | Haven, and the transfer was carried out
 There is no anxiety on the part Of the defendants as to the ultimate result, l and they confidently expect that the court before which said case may be | heard will vindicate their character.
