DECISION IN LAWL -SCADDEN CASE
THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
The Inspection Will Take Place Next
 Saturday Afternoon.

The proposed inspection of the Wa terbury High school building by the board of aldermen and Building In- spector A. I. Chatfeld, which will take place on next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, to see whether it is in a safe condition, was the subject of much comment to-day. Some members of the board of education are much ruff fed over the comment which Alder man Murray made in proposing the in- spection. The alderman from the fourth remarked: s"The first thing we know the board of education will be asking for $60,0O0 for another High school.'
 A member of the school board said to-day: sSuch a statement is most ri- diculous. The board has no idea of asking for an appropriation for a new high school building. For none is needed. The present building is all right That crack in the southeast corner of the building has been there ever since short time after the cree. ton of the building and has never set, tied. It is nothing new. It should be no source of alarm or concern to any person. It has been the subject of comment on many occasions and by this time nearly every person knows of it. But it is perfectly harmless. The building is safe and sound and the aldermen need not fear that they will be asked for special appropriation for a new high school building for some time to come"
 Alderman Murray said there were cracks galore in both the northeast and southeast corners of the building. By the manner In which members of the board of education talk, they don't take these cracks seriously. They per ceiye no immediate danger from it.

Ei9hty.Seven Answers Received to One Small Advertisement
 in the Democrat.

The Democrat announced yesterday that it had received 16 answers to one small ad in our penny a-word'' col umn. Since then eleven more have been received, making eighty seven in all. We feel safe in saying that this is the largest number of written answers to one advertisement ever received ill Waterbury. This paper has often had as high as forty or fifty, but never be- fore has 1t reached the eighties. This does not take into consideration the twenty or thirty or more that made personal application at the office in re- sponse ito the ad A word to the wise is sufficient One of these ads costs 25c or less for three days.

LEFT WEALTH 10 A WOMAN
Recluse Who Had Saved Up
 About $e50,0oo..

The Woman is the Daughter of a Cou-
 pie Who Had Befriended Him in
 His Youth-Ihe Man Has Relatives in Germany and This Woman Says
 They Should Have Their Share.
 New York, Dec S.-Gilt-edged secnri- ties with a market value of $7S3, ,O00 have been taken from a safety deposit box by attorneys for the heirs of Max imilian HersIhel, an aged recluse and eX-member of the New York stock eX- change, who died in St Lul1e's hospital last July. Ninety-three additional bonds bring the value of the hoard up to $95o,O0O.
 Just before he died, Herslel an- nounced in the presence of witnesses that he wished all his property to be turned over to Mrs William Georgi of Brooklyn, daughter of a couple who had befriended him in his youth and who had made his declining years con- fortable by numerous attentions, not knowing of his great wealth,
 Mrs Georgi attended him in his dy- ing moments, little dreaming that she was heiress to one million of dollars. Four relatives of the old man were liv- ing in Germany it was found, and Mrs Georgi declared that the property should be equally divided so far as she was concerned. Attorneys for both interests arranged this and the estate will be divided. at the end of six months. into five equal parts. The heirs living in Germany were unknown to -Herslhel They were found through advertising, but have proved their re- lationsthip and Mrs Georgi evinced no desire to keep them from sharing her good fortune. B.
 Some delay was experienced in se- curing permission to open the safety deposit boxes held in, Hershers name. This has just been done and disclosed property far beyond the expectations of the heirs.
 ,Hers(hel emigrated from Germany forty years ago. On the steamer he met Mrs Georgi's parents. They had just married and were seeking 8 home in America. The three became great friends the young German being aidel by the couple to the best of their linn. ited means. Arriving here, Hershel engaged in the tobacco trade and rapid- 1y achieved success. Then he joined the, stock exchange and continued to amass money, but none thought he was wealthy when he retired from the street several years ago and became a reeluse. Mrs Georgi daughte~ of his boyhood friends took their place in looking after his old age as they had done flor him in youth, and on his deafhbed, unable to make q will. h. called witnesses and verbally left her his estate.

THEATERS AND STRIKES.

Depression of Business Makes Small Attendance at Places of Amusement.
 Theatrical managers in New York and other cities are complaining of a decrease in the number of theater- goers. The attendance in New York city has fallen off considerably during this season. This is due, no doubt, to the depression of business in New York city, produced by many strikes and other things. As a result the peo, pie are economizing and the theaters have to suffer. The high priced thea ters are affected the most and there is talk of the prices being reduced not only in New York city but throughout the country. "Theater prices must come down. declared Robert Grau, 1mpresario. He predicts that the prices in New York will be lowered before May and as a result the scale of admissions will be lowefed through out the country. He says that only two of the New York theaters that charge $2 for their best seats are mak- ing money, that people have not as much money as in previous years and theater-going, being luxury, suffers
 
 Manager John J. Splain of Polls and Jacques theaters was asked by & Democrat reporter if the general busi- ness depression had affected the attend ance at the local theaters. He replied: ''The attendance has been slightly af- fected during the past month. There has been little falling off. But as a whole the season has so far been very good. The attendance at vaudeville has been a little better than last year, while at Polls it has been about the same as a year ago. We have not much kick coming.
 Tt is true that in New York there has been a decrease in the attendance. due no doubt to the depression in bus mess. The people are adopting pol icy Of economy and there is talk of re- ducing the prices in the metropolis. Tn the west the theatrical business is booming. Tn New England there has been a general slump of 8 slight na- ture The local theaters have been less affected than those in other cities.

 Her

First He Tried to Chloroform Her and
 Finally He Shot Her-Then He
 Ended His Own Life With Bullet,
 Berlin, Dec S.-It became known to. day that the leading female dancer at the Metropole theater, Fraulein Breida Bolke, was murdered at a hotel in Go logne, December 2, by Ferdinand Tes- sier, manufacturer of machinery at Vichy, France, who had several times been a nationalist candidate for mem Der of the chamber of deputies.

The hotel people heard the struggle and rushed to the spot, whereupon Tes- sier shot and killed himself
 Upon Tessier's body were found a variety of weapons. several sorts of poison and crosses and amulets from Lourdes.
 Though the tragedy occurred Decem- Der ?, through the influence Of Tes- sier's family the facts were not pub lished until the dancer was buried here yesterday.

United States Flag Has Been
 Hauled Down
POLICE ASSAULT OUR CONSUL

Arrest of Naturalized American
 Citizen the Cause of the Row-The
 Authorities Say the Consul is to
 Blame, and That He Struck the Po-
 lice with His Cane.
 Constantinople, Dec S.-The United States flag over the consulate at Al exandretta, Asiatic Turkey, has been hauled down and Consul Davis has left his post for Beirut in consequence Of serious diplomatic incident during which MT Davis was insulted and assaulted by the local police. G
 The affair grew out of the arrest of an Armenian- Ohannes Attarian, a naturalized American citizen.
 Attarian had been in prison at Aleppo during the past two months and had just been liberated through the intervention of the American con- sular agent, on condition of his leav ing the country forthwith. MT Davis was accompanying Attarian on board a departing steamer when the police intercepted the party, assaulted and insulted MT Davis, and, in spite of the
  tendant guards, rearrested Attarian and took him back to prison. MT Davis immediately lowered the flag over the consulate and formally broke off relations with the Turkish authorities by quitting Alexandretta, leaving the consulate in charge of the vice consul.
 A mob of Moslems seized on the oc, casion to make a hostile demonstra' tion Egainst the consulate and against the Christians generally.
 The local authorities assert that MT Davis struck the police with cane and that after the re-arrest of Altar ian the consular cavasses (military couriers) attempted to rescue him, and that in the fracas which ensued the cayasses broke tle windows of the prison.
 The Turkish Authorities further claim that Attarian, who is a native of Diarbekir (Asiatic Turkey) has been travelling about the country with an illegal passport They also point out that the questions of Armenians nat uralized in America returning to Tur- key has always been source of trou- ble as the porte invariably refuses to recognize naturalization.
 When Attarian was arrested $2,500 was found in his pocket This, it is believed, may have been contributed to his arrest, the Turks suspecting llina of being a revolutionist. The matter is enga ging the energetic at+en- tfon of the United s ates legation here ton of the United States legation here 3 Minister Leishman has made urgent representations to the porte and is now awaiting a fuller report before taking further steps.
