KEEP THE STREETS CLEAN
Officials Are Going to Ses That They
 Are Not Littsrsd With fiIh.

Waterbury officials have started out on street cleaning crusade and every person in any way connected with the city government has been pressed into the service. The inten- ton is to do away with the business of sweepings of stores onto the streets, throwing banana peels and other truck on the public ways and littering the streets with stuff trick ling from wagons carrying refuse from one place to another. The worst spots are on Bank street, be- tween Jackson street and the Nauga- tuck river, and on Chatfleld street, but these are by no means all the places where property owners show an utter disregard for the law relat- ing to sanitary conditions. Yards, front and rear, will have to be kept clean, and when the city goes over a street and gets all the tin cans, old teapots, boilers and fragments of al- most everything you could mention packed up and carted away, the po- lice will be expected to see that it is not used as dumping ground. Su- perintendent Kilduff has got some of the streets pretty well cleaned up, and the officials think it too bad to allow them to be filtered with paper and other truck in a day or two. There Is law against throwing things on the streets, and 1t does seem that the police can do some thing towards putting a stop to 1t. One official. told representative of this paper that he didn't think an officer would be doing anything only what should be expected of him to throw an old kettle off the street if he sees it, instead of walking by as though 1t was none of his business. He said he didn't want to be under stood as railing at the police, but he was of the opinion that few prose cutions would have more effect upon chronic offenders than all the hand bills you could crowd into their of fees. Notices were sent to the diff ferent merchants some time ago call ing their attention to the business of sweeping their stores onto the side walks, but they didn't amount to anything. In some instances the no- tices were thrown out the front door with other things that they had no use for. Of course efforts of this kind have been tried before. but after the authorities saw that 1t was out of the question to make some folks clean they gave 1t up. but the present administration is bound to keep at 1t. and nobody need be sur prised if he hears of an arrest or two before long.

BRIDGE WORKERS WEAKEN.
Af:sid of an Iniunct.on They Decide
 to Put Up Guards.

Notwithstanding all that was said to the foreman of the Pennsylvania Steel Co yesterday by Superintendent Beach of the police department re- garding the need of protecting the public at Bank street, where the company Is laying span for the sec ond railroad track. practically noth- ing was done up to 10 o'clock this morning to carry out tlie order. Su- perintendent Beach was informed through Officer Hayes that the place was still a veritable deathtrap and he sent Detective Dodds over there to have look at it. The detective re- ported that people passing under the bridge were in danger of serious in jury, whereupon Superintendent Beach notified the mayor and city attorney and the trio, accompanied by Commissioner Minor of the de- pertinent of public safety, made trip to the scene of operations in Mir Kellogg's new auto. The party talked plies, but before the discussion closed Mayor Thoms gave the company It's choice to protect people, passing ur- der the bridge in manner satisfac- tory to the superintendent of police or face an injunction. tying up the work altogether. The company was given until 1 o'clock to comply with the order If they moved hand after that time they were given to under stand that an injunction would be served upon them. It took heroic measures to bring the bridge build CTS to time. hut when things reached a point where this was necessary Su- perintendent Beach showed that he has a whole lot of backbone. To be sure the mayor and the city attor- ney, and the whole of us for that matter. were right at his slbow. but even at that the superintendent did things up in very clever manner and the people over in Brooklyn were not 90 backward as not to recognize that fact. The place is now being fixed co that in case anything should fall through 1t cannot reach people un- derneath. The crowbar that dropped yesterday came near looping on a man's ear and a bolt came down this morning and were it not for the guar1 1t would have landed on a young woman's head and spoiled her bonnet.

Instead of meeting an architect from New York, as 1t was announced, S. 2. Poll of New Haven met Mrs Jean Jacques of Waterbury and M. F. Keeley, the administrator of the Jacques estate in New Haven yester- day and talked over terms for the transfer of the Jacques theatrical in- terests In the two local theaters. MT i Poli has never given the alleged new ttheAter project any serious consid- erati0n and both he and Mrs Jacques have been considering offers made by each for the transfer of the Jacques property. The Schuberts of New York made bid for the theatri- cal rights of the late Jean Jacques, but Mrs Jacques preferred to do bust- ness with Mir Poli The meeting yes- terday did not develop any certain agreement, but 1t Is pretty well un- derstood between the interested par ties that the deal will be closed be- fore the first day of August and that Mr Poli will assume the charge of both houses.

Mrs Jacques intends to retain possession of that property, but the hitch came In MT Poll wanting to have it agreed that this building could not be rent cd for theatrical purposes. This mat ter will be all smoothly arranged within . few days and then will come the transfer of the property. When that is completed Mrs Jacques will draw an allowance of $500 a month and the lease of the property will run for nine years. Jacques the- ater will retain the name of Jean Jacques and will be remodeled and enlarged. Twenty thousand dollars will be spent in the changes which will consist in the raising of the roof and increasing the seating capacity by more than 500.

a Battle - Victim Has Alleged
Record In the Courts

Scipio Thompson, q negro, got into
fight with George Powers yesterday
afternoon on South Main street and
struck his antagonist with a large
stone. Powers fell to the pavement
his nose and ears.
Powers started to run up Main street
toward Fourth, pursued by an excited
crowd.
Detectives Davis and Roberds were
passing along the street at the time and
heard the cries of stop him! He has
just killed a man.
Davis hit the negro with his UNI
brella, but the blow only added speed
to the fugitive. Roberds ran after
him and caught up with the negro
near the Farmers and Merchants bank.
Thompson showed fight and the
plucky little detective was almost over
powered by the gigantic negro. Davis
came to his assistance and finally
Thompson was handcuffed.
Powers was taken to the receiving
hospital. DR.. Quint stated that the
man was suffering from concussion of
the brain and possibly sustained inter-
nal brain injuries. He refused to say

than one alleged crime. He is about
25 years old and lives on San Pedro
street.
Scipio Thompson will be held until
the result of Powers wound is known.

TIGER ATTACKS TATTOOIST
Making Design From Life on Tanner
Nearly Costs Man His
Precious Existence
ecial Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, May 26.-Tattooing tiger
tanners arm and taking his design from
nature inside the tigers cage with the
animal loose, is the daring achievement
of Alfred Smith, a well-known London
tattooist
while in Vienna" he said yesterday.
"a man came to me and said he was
Henry Henricksen, the tiger tanner, and
wanted the image of tiger tattooed
on his forearm. His conditions were
that I should go inside the cage and
take my design from an unfettered
animal.
Not being a good tanner, I objected
to entering the cage with ten of the
wild beasts, and we agreed there should
be only one. [ had nicely arranged all
my apparatus on a table inside and
was just about to begin the sitting
when, without any warning, the brute
leaped at me. l stood aside, only to
see my table crushed under the heavy
weight of the animal.
without waiting, I rushed outside
the iron doors, but after a while one
of the attendants told me that every
thing was all right again. Well, I
thought that one can die only once,
and re-entered the cage. and after one
and a half hours sitting 1 accom-
plished my task"

ENLARGE THEIR RINK SPACE
Grand Avenue Skating Enterprise Do,
ing Rushing Business
Every Niqht

The Grand avenue rink is doing a
large business-so much so that an ad-
dition of 6Ox150 feet is planned, giving
total of 120x140 feet of floor space,
over 10000 square feet. Work will be-
gin next week.
The supply of skates has been in
creased, so that now 1000 pairs are on
hand.
The beginners room is occupied by
large crowds of amateurs each session,
this feature proving a boon to new
skaters, as it protects them from acci-
dents on the main floor and permits the
accomplished skater to enjoy the sport
without fear of his nelghbor taking up
an undue share of space.
Joseph Wallstein comes from the
Piedmont rink at Oakland for week $
engagement at the Grand Avenue rink.
Wallstein claims to be the champion
fancy, trick and somersault skater of
the world, and during the engagement
he will skate through a perfect jungle
of sharp-pointed swords, besides per-
forming a number of other hazardous
feats

POLICE STOP MANS INSULTS
PatroIman Fights Fellow Who An
noyed Women at Fifth and
Main Streets

After a terrific struggle Patrolman
Roy Allen succeeded in overpowering
James McGrath at Fifth and Main
streets yesterday afternoon.
McGrath, said to be an old police
offender, has been making a practice
of insulting women coming from the
Pacific Electric building, say the po-
lice and Allen has been watching to
catch the fellow in the act.
McGrath was standing at the inter-
section of Fifth and Main streets at the
noon hour, offering gross insults toward
every pretty girl that passed, said the
officer Allen waited until he over
heard McGrath make an Objectionable
remark, and then stepping forward, laid
his hand on the mans shoulder.
"Here, you come with me to the
police station" said the officer.
McGrath turned on the officer and
fought.
A big crowd quickly gathered, but
no one offered to aid the patrolman
who was forced to handle his prisoner
with some severity before he could SUBJ
due him.
McGrath raved and swore at the
police station and defied the whole
department He is thought to be in
sane from excessive drinking
He was booked for drunkenness and
disturbing the peace.
