DEPORTED GIRL ESCAPES.
Fries Open Ambulance Door and Dis
 appears.

New York. Aug 15.-An IS years old Italian girl. who has made des- perate erorts to evade the execution of sentence of deportation imposed by the His Island immigrant officers, slipped away from the custodians yesterday and last night enjoyed her first real taste of freedom since she passed the statue of Liberty to make her home in America. She is Grazia Ferrent. a Neapolitan. whom the immigrant officers excluded because she was regarded as likely to become a public charge. With her in her break for real liberty went a com patriot of hers named Salvatore La Porte.
 The escape was cieverly planned. Sixteen immigrants. on whom the sentence of deportation had been passed. were being taken in an am bulance to Ellis Island. At the Bat tery landing six Italians pried the rear door of the ambulance open and Miss Ferrenti and La Porte jumped out and disappeared before the driver knew what was taking place. He managed. however. to capture one of the party who aided in the delivery of the prisoners. Miss Ferrenti es- eaped from the hospital several days ago. but was recaptured

$76 and Costs for Keepers of Policy
 Joint-Freuuenters $10.

Though 1t is only occasionally that the state police come here 1t is all ways a costly visit to some one. From developments in police circles 1t was evident that they were here on July 5, August and yesterday, for there was landed a large number of the dream book believers by the local po- lice yesterday. The warrants were sworn out by the state police. In the city court to-day before Judge Bur pee John T. Sullivan and Fred Os- borne were charged on two counts with playing policy and William T. Scully was charged on one count. Their attorney, John F. McGrath filed a demurrer to the complaint. This was overruled without taking evidence and fine of $75 and costs on each count was imposed. The fol- lowing settled for $10 each for fre- Quenting the place where gambling was going on: Joseph Derwin, Fred erick Beach, Frank Cummings, Tony Pappalli, Patrick Burroughs. John Cough, Michael Burnes. Michael Fin ley, George Bowditch, John Barton.
 Annie Tackas. 14. wishing to shine behind the footl!ghts, ran away from home week ago and got work as singer and dancer in the theater in the White City, Savin Rock. She was arrested at that place yesterday on the complaint. of acheSa motlfet;, Judge Burpee thought the best place for the girl would be the state school for girls and committed her to tha, institution.
 Donate Maso, Angelo and Vito Co., viello were charged with stabbing and cutting Petro and Salvatore La- vallo on August I. This was the dis turbance that took place on Bishop street. Maso was fined $40 and cost. and the two Coviellos $15 and costs each. During the hearing Attorney Bauby, who appeared for the defense, while Attorney Guilfoile prosecuted, took offense at something that was said by girl witness. aged 14 years.

 Tn the policy cases the total fine. and costs amounted to $660.sS. Of this sum the state policemen who fur nished the evidence will receive about $160.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Lilley's Clambake Will Be Meet of
 the Politicians.

Congressman George l.. Lilley has issued number of invitations to a dinner he intends giving at Lakewood next Saturday at 1:30 o'clock. Origi- nally 1t was his view to invite mem- bers of the Third Ward Republican club only, but he has seen the advis- ability of extending his hospitality to a great many who do not take the same view of politics as he or the Third Ward Republican club does. Therefore, it is said that the outside invitations have run into the hum dreds and that it will be one of the greatest political feasts ever held in New Haven county, even including those held by the members of the general assembly now and again at Savin Rock. The object of this din- ner is said to be two-fold. First, to give MT Lilley an opportunity to an- nounce himself as candidate for re, nomination, though no reports of other claimants for the nomination have been heard SO far, and, second- ly, to boost the candidacy of County JuSoU D. W dItCI TUT the nomination for county sheriff. Men high up in the republican party say that it is all up with Sheriff Durham and that Mir Walter will be the next nominee without question. Waterbury has always been consid- cred a strong Durham town and if MT Lilley can change its political sentiment toward his friend Walter he will be the strongest man in his party in New Haven county. Such a change would mean the nonination of Walter beyond doubt, but his elec- tion, this year at all events, would be another thing. If elected, how ever, Mir Lilley could we'll call the county his own in all his party mat ters. He would, in the first place, have great influence In distributing the patronage at the county jail. He would be behind the powers that ap- point the deputy sheriffs, and making all of them his lieutenants. He would also control the patronage at the county building in New Haven and he would in short cut the widest swath In the county. All this is certainly worth trying for and if Mi Lilley succeeds in getting 1t through this dinner Saturday afternoon, 1t will be obtained at most insignifl- cant cost.
