to have a Christmas tree for the poor
children of the city A committee
was appointed to carry out the idea,
the expense of which will be defray-
ed by voluntary subscription among
the members of the lodge. 1t will
probably take place during holiday
week, perhaps in the Elks' new home
in Masonic Hail. on the third floor of
James Kirby's building in Hobart

hire that hall for a meeting place
instead of their present hall.
The first meeting in Masonic Hall

of useful Christmas gifts the EllSs'
committee will get lists of the known
deserving poor of the city from the
clergymen and chief of police, and

power to make Christmas gladder
than it would otherwise be for the

IS MURDER IN
FIRST DEGREE.
Bridgeport Detective Here After
the Fellow Captured by the
Local Police.

Detective Edward Cronan arrived
here from Bridgeport, Conn, this
morning with the warrant for Paul
Vida, the young Hungarian wanted
for completely in a murder at Bridge
port about six weeks ago, and who
was arrested by the local police Mon
day
The warrant charges him with
murder in the first degree, and the
officer declares that Vida is believed
to have been the real murderer. His
companions in the fatal saloon brawl
are under arrest in Bridgeport, and
they say that Vida is the guilty man.
Vida was committed to the county
Jail by the recorder as a fugitive un-
der a thirty-day sentence. This will
hold him until the return of the
Bridgeport officer with requisition pa
pers signed by the governors of Con-
necticut and New Jersey. He will
then be taken back TO Bridgeport,
whence he fled to this city after es-
Gaping from the hands of the Bridge
port police six weeks ago.
Vidas conflicting statements to
the local police would tend to count
against him. He said, through one
Interpreter, when arrested on Mon
day, that he was in the fatal fight in
the saloon, but that he took no actual
part in the killing. Monday night
he told another Interpreter that he
was home in bed at the time the
fight took place.
Detective Cronan said that the
Bridgeport authorities are highly
pleased at the manner in which the
local police effected Vida's capture.
