 Who WILL Be ReIelsed From J,IL

Detective William Keegan went b New Haven to-day to bring to this city Augustus Spasaro. who is want ed here on . charge burglary. He has been serving . term in New Ha- ven jail and was to have been set free to-day. but in all probability hs will have to face another term.
 About eighteen months ago Spa- saro one night entered the house of Isidore Shapiro, of the firm of Tafel & Shapiro, on Division street. He was about to go of with a goodly sup ply of silverware. but he made % much noise that he awakened Mrs Shapiro. The woman, although con siderably frightened. had the pres ence of mind to lock the door of the room in which she heard the bur glar. She then informed her hus- band. Shapiro made an effort to capture the crook. but the latter threw a chair at him and escaped from the house. Outside he had . couple of accomplices waiting.
 Shapiro, although he was only partly dressed, followed the man who had entered his house and gave him long chase up North Main street. but was unable to overtake him.

WARRANTS FOR OFFICIALS.

Joseph Corr of East Main street was in consultation with his attorney to-day with . view to seeing what could be done towards having war rants issued for the arrest of all the city o6lcials on . charge of contempt of court. Some time ago MT Corr with others had an injunction order passed by Judge Cowsll restraining the city officials from shutting off water on their promises until after the court passes upon the question, but Mr Corr says that this does not deter the oflcials from coming along once every other few months and making an effort to shut of the water. This MT Corr considers put ting at defiance the order of the court. and he says he wants to know If there is any law on the books which men in public places are obliged to respect. MT Corr pays all his bills promptly, but this water rent he re- gards as an imposition on one class of consumers and he doesn't propose to come down with the dust for 1t until the courts decide against him, and this is something he doesn't ex- pect, because he is confident that a municipality cannot discriminate in favor of large consumers of water no more than 1t can in the rate of taxation on property. Anyway, he is going to put up fight. win or lose.

LICENSE FOR BARRIERS

 naYe he Law Repealed.

The law enacted by the legislature of 1903 compelling barbers to take out . losnse before they can work within the limits Of this state is engaging the attention of the craft just now. An agitation has been started in Meri- den to have the law repealed and this morning an emissary came here from the Silver city with a petition favoriug the annullment of the law.
 Several boss barbers who were spoken to about the matter said they did not sign the petition because they heartily favored the law as 1t stauds.
 Said they, This law keeps the rltf raff of the craft out of the state be- cause they will not pay the license fee of $5 and while they won't pay they cannot work here. It also prevents every Tom, Dick and Harry and every one else who thinks he can shave or cut hair from getting into the busi- ness. Those who favor having tue law repealed claim 1t is detrlnlent on the grounds that they cannot get men to work and that 1t keeps help scarce and wages high in conse- Quence.
 Any barber who is willing to pay his men can get all he needs and | good barber will not object to paying $5 for the privilege of working in this state."
 It is said, that the man from Merl- den will SCOUT the state for signers to his petition. and that on the whole the law aimed at has not given the satisfaction that was expected from 1t.
 If the petition is signed with sui ficient names it will be presented to the coming assembly.

SNOW ENOUGH TO-DAY
Tint Rs,l Fall d Tho Bs,uttul''
 nads Walking Dl,aUee,bla :,

prophsts who claimed that this would bs an open winter and that thsrs was not much likelihood of any snow failing In this part of the coun- try befors Thanksgiving. will ind 1t hard to account for the big snowfall of to-day, which started to come down to-day. There was just enough wind to toss the aakes here and there, throwing enough of them into peo- ple's eyes to prevent them from sec Ing their way. with the result that many ran afoul of each other, while some collidsd with telegraph and tel ephoue poles and other knocked against tho side of buildings. The sidewalks, those that are constructed of flags, iron, glass or cement were very slippery and walking was in- dulged in at great risk if not to life and limb at least to wearing apparel and good department, for many came down in the slush, running their cos tunes and cutting figures which they never would have done of their own volition. The danger of iron caps over chutes in the sidewalks was eM- phasixed in more than one place and the street department should lose no time in seeing that they are covered with rubber or something else at least during the winter months. though the law says that they shall be cov- cred all the time. The storm gave people lots to do shoveling. although 1t didn't sem to pay to bother with 1t, for the wind drifted snow onto the walks faster than it could be cleared of. The wise heads say that the snow will not last and predict that 1t will soon turn to rain. Probably this is true, but even so the storm will be great setback to out of door operations, and there is vast amount of work in process of con- struction which would suffer in case 1t should not be covered in before the real bad weather sets in. Besides contractors the city has some big projects under way which are held up on account of the weather, and everybody from the mayor down Is praying for a few weeks of fair weather to enable them to get things closed up for winter.
 The only ones that appear to well come the snow are the small boys, some of whom were out with their sleds early this afternoon. and acted as if they felt that 1t couldn't fall too fast to suit them. It is @ great thing to be mayor of city like Wa terbury. but 1t is still greater to be a small boy and own 8 double ripper when the sleddlng is good.

 A potato race is on the program at the Casino roller skating rink to- morrow evening and much interest Is being taken in the event.

Those who will participate in the race are the Misses Elizabeth Meyer, Rosa Dexter, Ma bel Bean and Sadie Fitzpatrick.
 Orlando Ehanner, colored, was ar rested to-day by Oficer Samuel Walsh and is charged with drunkenness and resistance. Shaffner, who is 8 driver for Ralph N. Blakeslee, was under the weather to-day and drove his wagon along Bank street in very reckless manner. He collided with . couple of other vehicles, but he was indignant because he was not allowed the entire street. When Oficer Walsh saw the condition
 the man he attempted to take the wagon and place Shaffner under ar- rest. The colored man showed fight and endeavored to do the on1cer up Walsh had taken some of the pugna. rity out of Shaffner when tho patrol wagon arrived. Oficer O'Hearn as sisted by Officer Walsh hustled the prisoner into the wagon and he was carried to the station.
 Because of the paving of the upper part of North Willow street the troll ley schedule during the noon hour especially is somewhat out of order. This noon all the Norwood cars were compelled to wait about ten minutes on the switch above Pine street and the passengers became very impa. tient. Finally a large number of those on the cars alighted and walk ed, even though it was showing hard. The conductors were not to blame. nevertheless a few knocks were thrown their way. These delays may be expected now and then while the street is being paved, but they are not at all popular. One passenger made the remark that 1t would be a good idea for some enterprising con. ductor to receive permission to sell lunch on the cars during the noon hour while the street is being paved.

SALARIES vs FEES.
The Probate Assembly Was N,
 Unanimous for . Change.

Unanimous for . Change.
 The salary system or the fee sys- tenn was the topic for discussion be- fore the Connecticut probate assem- bly, which met at the Capitol yester- day. with twenty-three judges pres ent. The discussion started when the committee appointed at previ- 0us meeting to consider the subject was asked to report. Judge Wood man of Bethel, member of that committee. reported progress. It had conferred with the legislative committee considering the same sub 1ect and had heard various sugges- tons.
 Judge Fahey of Rockville, another member. said that in the case of small estates the legal fees are sell dom collected, but that something should be done to relieve the small estates of the excessive charges. He believed. as did Judge Woodman, that there should be compulsory set tiement of estates in a specified time. He favored placing the compensation of judges on salary basis.
 Paying judges salary. but retain ing the fee system, too, the fees to be turned over to the state. was opposed by Judge Fisk of Stafford Springs. Judge Purple of Moodus went on rec ord as opposed to any change, say ing a change would not benefit the people. Judge Fahey said the change is bound to come.
 Judge Nobbs of Bridgeport, presi- dent. said there was . feeling that something ought to be done. The bill before the last legislature had ridiculous features. he said, and had been killed. but the idea was not killed. He favored salary system. providing & plan can be devised that will make things fair for both judges and people. It Is a hard proposition. he admitted. He would rather work under a salary system than under the fee system. if the salary Is big enough. If he was required to col lect fees he would need an additional clerk. He pointed out that under a change it might become necessary for persons before the court to employ lawyers and they might incur in that way expenses greater than the fees would have amounted to. If the Sudees had to return to the state all the fees they would have to collect them all. There could be no throw ing of of fees. and hardship on poor people might we'll result. He said that he could not tell what his in come was and no judge could tell the average amount he received. The salary system instead of the fee sys- tenn is the proper one. he said.
 Judge Purple said that the senti- mont fin favor of salary system is confined to the cities, while the peo- ple in the country are satis1ed with thines as they are.
 The committee was continued in existence. Resolutions were passed on the death of Judge Isaac F. Gil Istte of Lebanon.
