BRICKLAYERS' INJUNCTION.
Local Parties Will Be On Hand t6
 Prevent Introduction of Ringers"

Attorney Kennedy counsel for the striking bircklayers, and masons In the injunction proceedings brought against them by the bosses through Attorney Bronson, stated to-day that he was not aware of any reason why the hearing to dissolve the injunction should not take place as already de- cided on next Tuesday in the superior court before Judge Reed.
 Mir Kennedy was asked If any de- positions of the non-union men that had been induced to leave town by the strikers were taken and he said that he had been notified by Attorney Bronson that some would be taken. Mir Kennedy then arranged with Bos- ton lawyers to attend 10 the deposi- tions, and also that local parties should be on hand to prevent the other side introducing any ringers" on the scene. Ringers, how do you mean" he was asked.
 'sI mean" said Mir Kennedy. "that we took precautions against men mak- ing any dispositions who were never in Waterbury. We heard that an effort was to be made to get men to testify that they were brought to Wa terbury by the bosses in this matter and they were forced. or induced to leave by the men on strike. and that the same men were never fin Water bury. That's what I mean by ring CTS. But when they heard that we were ready they told us they would not take dispositions. I don't know what made them change their minds, but we were ready for them at every turn. understand now that they will claim that the men whom they ex- pected to make dispositions will say they were afraid of the union and that is the reason they did not depose."f
 Attorney Bronson could not be seen. He was out of town and has been al- most all the week.

MIXER OF PAINTS
August Rosenberg as An Anarchist In Germany Declared to Be An
 Innocent Man
THE GERMANS DEFEND HIM

Seattle, Wash, July 7.-The cen- tral committee of the German socie- ties at its regular meeting last night declared that August Rosenberg, ar rested in Germany upon suspicion of being an anarchist, with designs against the life of Emperor William, was nothing but harmless mixer of paints.
 The letter which caused the arrest of Rosenberg, the members of the so- ciety claim, was written by secret enemy of Rosenberg's to the authori- ties in the fatherland. A prominent member of the committee having known Rosenberg for several years, states that Rosenberg was an inven- tor and investigator of paint com pounds and that the chemicals and apparatus in Rosenberg's old shop were all for the purpose of experi- mentation in this line.
 Most of his supplies in his re- searches were purchased from local firm, and Dr Warmburg, a chemist, was often called into consultation by Rosenberg touching his experiments.
 According to this committeeman Rosenberg was 72 years of age, had amassed about $6,000, competency for himself and wife and his return to Germany was to spend the rest of his days in ease.

ENGLAND AND GERMANY Official Efforts Being Made to Bring the Two Countries Closer
 Together
THE EDITORS ARE IN FAVOR

Berlin, July 7.-The efforts, off, cial and private, made to bring about better relations between Germany and Great Britain have had pro- nounced success. Emperor William is active, outside of the regular chan nels, in impressing Englishmen with the fact that it is his purpose to leave nothing undone on the German side to restore agreeable relations. His majesty met a British naval officer at yacht club dinner at Kiel re- gently and talked with him for half an hour on the needlessness and harmfulness of pickering between Great Britain and Germany and the determination on his part to pre- serve not only peace but to cultivate good will and confidence.
 The German journalists who re- gently visited England have since their return filled the editorial pages of the most important newspapers with their observations. showing the causelessness of any i'll feeling be- tween the two peoples and detailing thousand arguments for peace and the cooperation of German-British friendship.
 A committee of prominent Germans is about to invite fifty British editors to make a return visit to Germany. There is some expectation that King Edward will come to Germany for the christening of his grand nephew, which is to occur August 12.

BROUGHT IN THE DOGS.
Police Fought Shy and Dr Beers Was
 Brought h.

Frank HenSiquez and Henry Mo randez. whose dogs were sentenced to death in the police court this morn- ing by Judge Peasley and who were charged to surrender the brutes be- fore 3 o'clock this afternoon, took the pets to the station long before the appointed time. The dog owned by Mir HenriQuez was a great Dane and weighed something in the neighbor- hood of 300 pounds. It was about as high as a yearling colt and when its temper was reused 1t feared nothing. The other dog was a mixture Of St Bernard and mastiff, large. and to all appearances, good natured. Every body at the station was scared of the Great Dane and for a time it looked as if the militia would be called out to kill 1t before they leave for camp. The whole police force fought shy of the task and finally 1t was decided to call in Dr Bland, and 1t appears that even he preferred to turn the job over to somebody else and sent his assistant, Dr Beers. who made short work of 1t. Then. H. NJ. Rigney, the garbage contractor. was commit nicated with by telephone and un- blushingly asked to send a wagon down to take the carcasses away and see that they were cremated, just the same as if his money was coming the moment he had it earned. Anyway. the dogs have gone to the happy hunting ground and while their own- CTS may shed a tear for their sad fate. everybody about the center will breathe easier.

 John Tato. the fruit dealer who has received much notoriety because of his efforts to establish fruit store on Hillside avenue and later on North Willow street. has finally opened a place of business on the last named street. Yesterday was the opening day and although business was somewhat slow. the owner ex- poets 1t to improve day by day. so in time he will have a profitable trade. Although some of the residents in the immediate neighborhood feel some what aggrieved because of the store in the vicinity. still there are many who are not worrying at all and say that if the people do not patronize John he will be compelled to close up the store.

Comet Agree on PuPchas Of Res

SOME FAVOR BUYING THOMAS RANCH
QUESTION OF PLATING THE EX.
IRA LAND COMES UP BUT
NOT DECIDED.

According to Mayor keilough neither
the water committee or the council mas
yet been able to decide on a reservoir
site for the new gravity water system
and from the different views enter
tanned by members there is little pros
pee of the question being decided for
some time yet.
The mayor said some members of
the council favored the purchase of
80 acres f the Thomas ranch, while
others were in favor of the city buy
ing only an amount of land actually
needed for the reservoir, which has
been estimated at 10 II acres.
Against Big Purchase.
Councilman Bridges, a member of
the water committee says ne is not in
favor of the city buying the 80 acres
of the Thomas ranch for $4,000, as
offered by ]. G. Thomas, the owner. He

city is land poor and has not the
money to pay for the land at present
and, from a cursory examinatin of
the tract some weeks ago he says it
will cost from SIS to 500 an acre to
clear a large part of the land if the
city should desire to buy the 80 acres
as an investment, with view of SELL
ing it off later for garden and fruit
purposes.
Mayor Kellough said yesterday he
had investigated a number of proposed
sites but he is inclined to favor the
Thomas proposition. By acquiring the
80 acres the city also acquires the
Thomas water rights and also a right
of way for the overflow from the res
ervoir to Mill creek
To Avoid Litigation.
The mayor said, to avoid litigation
as much as possible with riparian
owners below the proposed reservoir
site, it was necessary to turn the
overflow back into Mill creek. AS this
necessitates the city acquiring right
Of way for the overflow pipes it is al
most compulsory to acquire reservoir
site somewhere in close to Mill creek,
or else condemn, or secure, in some
other manner, a right of way which in
the long run might end in expensive
litigation.
