LAST OF MORGAN
Pickpocket Expected 10 Forfeit Bond Rather Than Stand Trial.

George Morgan, alias Benjamin Long, alias James Ward, alias Henry Wood and alias Harry Ward, who was arrested in this city for making an attempt to pick the pocket of Timothy O'Rourke and who was released under bonds of $1,000 on Thursday, has record which places him in the foremost rank of pick pockets It is now we'll understood that Morgan will never return to this city as his friends easily col lected $1,000 to make his bondsman secure. He has gone to New York where it is said his crowd intends to pull off big trick" within a week. Superintendent of Police Beach re- ceived a letter from the Boston police which contained part of Nor gans record and also an excellent pie ture of the crook taken from the rogues' gallery in the "Hub" town. AS recently as August 27 Morgan under the alias of Ward was arrested in Ware, Mass, for grand larceny and was held under bonds of $500, which he skipped. On April 8, 1896 he was sentenced to the Elmira re- formatory in New York for grand larceny in Toronto, Canada. On July 4, 1901 he was sentenced to two years in the House of Correction in Brookline, Mass, for breaking into and entering houses. He was arrest ed immediately after his sentence ex- pired and arraigned in the Suffolk county court in Massachusetts for a similar offense and sentenced to two years in the House of Correction. He is considered a very clever fellow in the art of picking pockets and will undoubtedly within short time make enough to reimburse him for his costly trip to this city.

HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI.
Another Effort Will Be Made to Come
 Together. .&.

Several graduates of Waterbury high school met yesterday for the purpose of making an effort to start a movement for the reorganization of the Alumni association. Because of the inclement weather many of the graduates who had intended to be present did not attend so very little was accomplished at yesterdays meeting. A few years ago the Alum nj association which has been rath- CT inactive for many moons was re- organized but after holding one re- ception, it again fell by the wayside, as the members apparently lost in- terest. The present boom is being nursed by the younger almuni and if the association is placed upon it's feet 8 dance will be given, perhaps ip June.

SEEKING RELATIVES
Communication Received by Mayor Th0ms From Detroit Man.

Mayor Thoms is in receipt of the following communication which the public is asked to read carefully and if anybody is able to throw any light on the matter he will please do so at his earliest convenience.
 Detroit, Dec 18th, '07. To the Mayor of Waterbury, Conn:
 Dear Sir:-Seeing an account in. the paper of the death of a lady named Ellen Calvin, of your city, I beg of your Honor to send me the desired information if it is conven- tent for you to do so.
 My name is William Patrick Gal- win, was taken to the New York Founding asylum by Fannie Calvin in the year 1876, when I was but three weeks old. They kept me there until I was 6 years old when I was sent to Tifin, Ohio, and was raised by a man of the name of Timothy O'Connor. I never i.new what a father or mother was; in fact I never knew of any relatives, living or dead. l heard at one time that my father was d wealthy attorney of New York city but has been dead some time. The people who raised me can tell no more of my ancestors than I can. Therefore I am taking this method of trying to locate some one belonging to me, or at least get what information I can concerning them. If you will make inquiries in your city in regard to this matter your kindness will be very much ap- preciated, and shall esteem it great favor. I now go by the name of William O"Connor.
 Trusting you will favor me with an early reply, I am
 Yours sincerely, -S,

Ii the farmers of Michigan are not
favorably interested in Senator Ely's
effort 10 secure the enactment of bill at
the present session of the legislature TO
do away with the road labor method of
providing for country road improvement
and the substitution therefor of a reason
able cash tax. it is because they fail to
recognize in that measure the value it
surely possesses for the farms and farmers
and the country roads of our state. No
other feature of farm improvement ex-
ceeds in importance the betterment OF
the roads through which the farm is con-
nected with his market and his neighbors.
The road labor tax provision has been
better than nothing. but is entirely in
adequate to meet the purposes to which
it was related. II has outlived whatever
usefulness it ever possessed. Senator
Ely's bill should become a law and the
farmers of the state should be its most
aggressive friedds.
