PARENTS RESPONSIBLE
For ! Numbor of Youths Who Land in
 the Police Count

Nobody can help noticing the num- Der of small boys that are being brought into the police station charged with all kinds of offenses. In com menting on the matter to-day man whose judgment is worth something, said that he believed the trouble due to an outlaw sentiment, that exists in too many homes of Waterbury. He wanted to know what can be expect ed from the children of parents who make a practice of questioning any bodys right to enforce the law, find ing fault with the work of the police and the decisions of the courts and constantly ridiculing what the minis ters has to say in the pulpits. These things, he said, and lack of attention are responsible for the conduct of practically all the juvenile offenders in Waterbury and every other town.
 Whatever the cause 1t Is certain that the boys are being rounded up and it Is pity to see so many bright faced lads started out in the world with police court record, for pe- destal. No wonder that the police and everybody else regret that there is not some way of getting hold of their parents and making them sensible of the great wrong they are inilicting upon their offspringss as well as the injury done to society by adding to the long list of criminals.

HIGH SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Factories Take Boys and ChIs When
 They Leave Grammar Grade.

The increase in attendance at the High school at the opening of the present term was the largest in some years. The number of pupils in Crosby the past few years has been about the same at every term and this led the writer during the week to ask Superintendent of Schools Tinker what the reason was that the attendance did not grow larger each year.
 MT Tinker replied that it was be- cause of the wages paid in the facto- ries of this cty. He said: "The boys that work in the shops of Waterbury are paid better than any other city of the state and almost all of them when they have passed the ninth grade think it will be much more profitable to enter the factory than to take course in High. Many of the girls also leave school after get ting their diploma from the grammar grades, as their chances in this city are also good
 It Is surprising the number that pour into the office at the close of the school year looking for certif1- cates which they must have before they enter factory. Boys that have any amount of intelligence, and whose people have the mems to keep them at school, do not seem to care to enter High. As far as I can per ceive that the only reason why an addition has not long since been nec- essary for the East Main street build ing.
 What MT Tinker says is undoubt- edly true, and it would seem. since Waterbury is such manufacturing city, that it would be wise to estab- fish a manual training course as soon as possible in Crosby.

THEY PUT TIE POLE DOWN
Benedict Hausdoh Got Tired fiIIing h
 tho Hole. {

The Connecticut Railway and Lighting company last evening got the best of the dispute between its workmen and Benedict B, Hausdorf who runs saloon at the foot of Vine street on Cherry street. Attorney Bauby followed Hausdorf's directions to obtain an injunction against the company from putting up the pole. but 1t was very difficult to find a judge. Judge Cowell was out of town and Judge Peasley was engaged in the political situation in the third ward, so that before the paper was signed by him Hausdorf had got tired of shoveling the dirt back into the hole and varying the performance by sitting in the hole, and while he was at the telephone the workmen suc- ceeded in planting the pole.
 The company, however, had not everything its own way The pole !s not where the workmen first intend- ed putting 1t, which Is some consola- tion to Hausdorf, and had they asked his permission to put 1t where 1t now is there would have been no trouble.
 A few months ago a company in Hartford that uses poles on the s.de- walks had an altercatiOn with g property owner over placing one on his sidewalk. The man objected and there was the usual shoveling in and shoveling out again of the dirt in the hole. Finally the workmen got the pole in the ground despite the mans protestations, but when they return ed the next day to paint 1t there was no pole there; 1t had been cut down by the property owner. The matter went to court and the court sustained the action of the property owner in his cutting down the pole. It was not shown that public necessity re- quired the pole there or that the property owner had been compensat- ed for the intrusion on his land

THE POLICE COURT.
Boy Fined s5 and Put on Probation
 For Stealing Papers.

It was many years since Thomas Powlen and Nicola Pastor had met. The last time they saw each other was in sunny Italy where men em- brace and kiss each other when they meet after long parting. So 1t was the most natural thing in the world for them to kiss and hug each other when they met yesterday. They were hard at 1t when an un- natural policeman thought they were crazy and when he undertook to lug them off to the police station they hugged and embraced the more and he thought they were getting crazier and if they were not restrained in a minute they would become un- manageable altogether. So he let them hug and kiss minute or two while he betook himself to the near est signal box and before they were aware of what had occurred they were in the hurry wagon. This was all very strange to them. They could hug and kiss in their own country without interference and surely they could do so in this land of the free but it cost them each $7 in the city court to-day to find that they had committed breach of the peace.
 Daniel O'Leary and John Cabell paid $5 each for intoxication. James German paid the same and James Murphy was fined $5 and costs for not paying up an old fine to the probation officer.
 The small boy Tony Margiatto who was before the court yesterday morning for theft of bundle of newspapers was fined $5 and put on probation for one year.

State bank OF Harvey, N. D.. one
OF the passengers on the ill-fated
500 train, arrived in St. Paul
last evening and was one OF the
few occupants OF the smoking
car who escaped without serious
Injury. He owes his escape to
the fact that his feet were on his
suitcase when the crash came.
'NThe smoking car was crowd
ed and a number OF men were
standing in the aisles," said Mr..
Runyan. IL was seated in the
second seat from the rear and
had my feet on my suitcase.
Suddenly there was a crash and |
was thrown over the back OF the
seat and thru the front of the
coach, The floor ii the baggage
car swept thru the smoker and
carried passengers with it.
"The presence OF mind OF one
of the victims of the wreck prob
ably prevented a fire horror. One
OF the victims who was held
down by the wreckage reached
reached up and blew out the
light OF a kerosene lamp which
was burning. The deaths came
when the floor of the baggage
ear swept thru the smoker, catch
ing the passengers in their
seats Mr.. Runyan was slight
~ injured, bat assisted in the
work OF rescuing the passengers.
