POLICE CIRCLE RUMoHs.
Superintendent Beach May Perform
 Work Done by Detective Bureau.

Although things are said to be very quiet in police circles, little things
 are cropping up by degrees which. ,be wise heads take as f0rerunners of l changes which may or may not be for the benefit of the department. \ reporter talked the matter over to-
 day with one on the inside and gath cred the information that while there is no disposition to commence inc
 business of calling officers into the
 tower and cutting off their heads. on
 the contrary everything possible is
 being done to avoid the confusion that existed in the department under the business administration when nO-
 body knew from one day to another
 when he was going to be dropped, still the present board has it's eyes open and it is learning something by degrees, so much so, that the time is near at hand when some slight changes will take place which in tine opinion of at least some of the com missioners will hurt nobody, but Viii help strengthen the efficiency of the department.
 The principal matter being talked of is what might be termed the wip- ing out of the detective bureau and putting all this work into the hands of the superintendent. The advocates of this plan state that there are times when the detective bureau has little or nothing to do and on such >occas- ions the men could do regular duty and then when case is reported let some one be detailed to look it up and have done with it.
 Not all the commissioners favor this idea, and so far it is q question if q majority of the board has agreed to it, but it is under consideration and nobody need be surprised if something of that sort turns up soon after Su- Superintendent Beach returns from the national association of superintef- dents of police departments. The mat ter was talked of good deal about town last night and this morning and while some thought well of it others regarded it as a move in the wrong direction.
 The additional roundsman matter is also being aired and looked at from different standpoints. Many claim we have too many officers now and not enough patrolmen. and take the ground that if any additional expense is to be incurred ill connection with the department it should be in the way of half dozen or more new pa trolmen. The city is not half policed but because a certain set of citizens are properly protected they never be- stow thought upon the much larger number of residents who have to take care of themselves or swallow t'eir indignation when law and order and sometimes themselves are trampled upon.
 The public would appreciate better police protection and they are willing to pay for it. What is the reason they cant get it?

sKEEINo IN THE HIGH ALPS
Expert Jumpers Sometimes Make Phenomenal Leaps from
 the Hop"

In Technical World Magazine, Fritz Morris describes the use of skees, for both business and pleasure. in all the European mountain countries. In Nor way one of the great events of the year is national meet of skee-runners and jumpers.
 The skeeing track lies on the face of a hill rising from frozen lake to a height of nearly 1s0 feet. The length of the track. on the slope. is 1so yards: and the hop" or platform from which the leap Is taken is located about two thirds of the way down. The angie of the hill above the hop" is about IS degrees. and that of the lower portion z4 degrees; and the time occupied in descending from summit to base, when the snow is in perfect condition. is about IS seconds. On . recent occas- on one man. noted jumper. Olaf Tandberg. made a grand leap of 1o7 feet-the longest on HolmenkoIen track-but fell.

COACHING IS ANTIQUATED.
People Stare Now When 8 Four-in- Hand Is Seen in the Me-
 ropolis.

That motor cars have dealt a veyy serious blow to coaching 1t is no long. CT possible to deny. Until this year, says a New York exchange, it was confidently asserted that there was room for both, and that drag and mo- tor could flourish side by side.
 Spring, summer and fall of 1905 have shown this belief to be a fallacy. Several road coaches, which formerly were wont to run out of New York to Lakewood, have been abandoned this year.
 The parking places for drags at the races and open-air suburban horse shows are now entirely monopolized by motors, coaches being few and far be- tween, while private four.in-hands on the avenue are nowadays so rare as to cause people to turn around and stare as If at some antiquated mode of con- veyance.
 Indeed, 1t is a question whether New York will ever witness again an- other coaching parade, for the last one, which took place in the spring, was so manifestly attended as a mat. ter of duty rather than pleasure that it is very doubtful whether it will be possible to assemble again a aufii- cient number of drags in line to war. rant meet of the club.
 In Europe matters are still worse from coaching point of view, and in France the coaching season has been the most disappointing and discourag- ing ever known since four-in-hand driving was taken up as a popular form of sport

PIERCE AND CARMoDY COT $500.
For Defending Lockwood Murderers
 Before Judge Shumway.

Before leaving town yesterday
 Judge Shumway took up the consid-
 eration of the numerous bills that ! are always contracted during term
 of the criminal side of the superior
 court, for before they can be paid, l no matter what their nature be, they
 must bear the approval of the pre- siding judge. The term that closed
 yesterday was the costliest and hard-
 est ever held in Waterbury. The to-
 tai expense, while it is not yet taxed up against the numerous prisoners
 that were found guilty, will amount
 to about $11,O00.
 Among the bills that came before Judge Shumway yesterday were those from the attorneys in the Lock- wood murder trial, excepting Attor. ney RusselPs, which was disposed of at the last term. He defended Bas- ,, sett. Preston, the source of all the l misfortune, paid his own counsel. but Attorney Pierce was appointed to defend Joseph Cenesky. Attorney Pierce sent in bill for $575. Yes terday Judge Shumway cut it down to $500.
 Attorney Carmody, who was ap-
 pointed to defend Edward Leonard,
 was paid $500 also, though there was no trial. However, he had to sit and watch the Bassett, Preston and Cenesky cases. On his advice Leonard pleaded guilty as a trial would mean risking his neck, for though the others concerned escaped with their lives, it might be that Leonard, though not more guilty than his companions, might have to hang, after all.
 The close of the term finds Assist ant States Attorney Kellogg Tagged out. It is common talk among the fraternity that since fall he has been the hardest worked state prosecutor in the state. AS soon as possible he intends taking a few weeks off to recuperate for the June term when the insurance cases will come up.

vERITABLE AMERICAN EDEN
Most Favored Region of All the Earth Is Among the Ozarks of
 Missouri.

The Ozark mountains, where it has been proposed to remove the capital from Washington, is the most favored section in all the world. In no locality on earth has nature done more for man than in southwest Missouri, writes Washington Star correspondent of that section. It has been fitly and tersely described as the Garden of the Gods" Italy has no fairer skies than the Ozarks. There verdure-clad hills alternate with sunny prairies, and bab- bling brooks course through rich meadows; the rich, golden grain waves like the illimitable sea, or is gathered in countless saeaves; fruits of all kinds wear down the creaking branches and lend their bright colors to contrast pleasingly with the green of the foliage, the great gifts of the Creator are here enjoyed in their full est and most beautiful realization. In winter the farmer of the Ozarks is abroad in his fields. and mayhap his daughters are gathering wild flowers and strawberries. Although the sum- mers are long. they are very mild The evenings and nights are delightfully."- cool and pleasant. There north and south meets on terms of equality.
 Springfield, the capital of that sec- tion, is known as the Queen of the Ozarks." daughter of the gods de- vinely fair. and we'll deserves the name. It is 1,5o0 feet above the sea level and over 1000 feet higher than St. Louis. In such climate the spir- itual and intellectual becomes as pure as does the material. Graft could not exist in such an atmosphere. With our capital situated so fortunately, not only this government but the entire world would be benefited.

Will Be Held Tonight to Protest
 Against Muzzling of Dogs.

People who do not believe in the ordinance relating to the muzzling Of dogs will have chance to protest against it this evening at a meeting which is scheduled to be held in the Jones-Morgan building on Bank street. There are many lovers of the canines Who think that the order has been in effect long enough, and, moreover, who doubt the power of Mayor Thoms in issuing such an order. It makes no difference what kind of cur one owns, if he thinks that it should not wear the moose he can appear tonight and say so. The meeting promises to, be largely at tended and there is no doubt but what there will be any amount of fun.
