Valentine Dickerson, Former Cook at the Jail, Sends the Package from
 Brooklyn.
MADE ESCAPE FROM
 JAIL A WEEK AGO
Enjoyed His Stay at Whal- ley Avenue Institution But Longed for Free
 dom and Ease.

That he liked the Whalley avenue jail better than any jail he had ever been In, but that he preferred rather to live free and easy under the American eagle than be confined in any jail, was the purport of a letter which County Sher- if Philip Hugo received yesterday from Valentine Dickerson, late of West Haven and later of the Whalley avenue jail
 With this message came a neat pack age in which were keys to the larder tod the provision closets at the jail over which Dickerson had charge in his capacity as chief cook. Dickerson said that he did not mean to take away the keys, as he did not want to put the authorities to any inconvenience, nor make the prisoners 80 without their breakfasts.
 Last Wednesday, the night that it was discovered Dickerson had gone away. Sheriff Hugo and others at the Jail worked several hours before they got the doors open to get something to eat for the prisoners.
 Iii his letter Dickerson stated that he had been very we'll treated at the jail, but that it would do no good for anyone to come after him to bring him back He said that though the letter was mailed in Brooklyn by the time Sheriff Hugo read 1t he would be far in the south
 The writer of the letter was sentenc- ed to thirty days In jail for drunken ness and thirty days in jail for wife beating over month ago. Previous to that he kept a restaurant opposite the car barn at West Haven. While in confinement he was very orderly and was allowed considerable liberty. In his capacity of chief cook he had ac- cess to many places from which the other prisoners were barred.
 When he escaped, a week ago to-day Sheriff Hugo sent to Port Jefferson the home of Dlckerson's father looking for him. but search was of no avail and no word was heard from him until yesterday.
 Mrs. Dickerson, who Is now running the restaurant at West Haven, is suing for divorce.

UNKNlWN FOUND DEAD
IN QUINNIPIAC RIVER
Body Floating in the Water Above Middletown
 Ave. Bridge.

The body of an unknown man, ap- parently about 45 years of age, was found floating in the Quinnipiac river near the Middletown avenue bridge early last evening. There was nothing about the man by which he might be identified except pawn ticket in his pocket which bore the name, "Christo Jessin," and yesterdays date. His clothes were daubed with paint which led Medical Examiner c. J. Bartlett to believe that he was painter. In his pockets were several small tools such as mechanics use.
 The dead man is six feet tall and weighs about 160 pounds. He has dark hair and moustache. There was mo- thing striking about his appearance or dress except that he wore seven shirts. On the bank short distance above the place where the body was found was a hat and umbrella.
 There were no marks of violence on the body and the belief is that he de- liberately committed suicide or acci- dently fell in. The finding of the pawn ticket with yesterdays date would seem to indicate that he had not been in the water a long time.
 The discovery of the body was made by Amable Lupien, carpenter of 447 Front street, as he was returning home from work about o'clock. Medical Examiner Bartlett was immediately notified He viewed the remains and ordered them taken to Hymns under taking rooms where they wait identi- fication.

 feller,

Cleveland. July 2.--Forest Hill, the suburban home of John D. Rockefeller, was besieged by United States Marshal Frank M.

 Access to the lodge was denied a dep- uty marshal this afternoon, and Mar shal Chandler announced that he would ask the department of justice at Wash ington for further authority in the case. Later he was admitted to the lodge, and Superintendent Jones, of the Rock efeller estate, informed him that he and his deputies could have the freedom of the place, disclaimer being entered that the barring of the gate against the deputies was meant as an affront to federal authority.

LEAGUE SCHEDULE AGAIN ADVOCATED Mass Meeting Goes on Re cord to Request Board
 of Education to
 Adopt It.
TROUP MAINTAINS
 TAXPAYERS RIGHT
Claims They May Instruct Board as to Whether They Should Pay
 or Not.

Harmonic hall was well filled last evening with citizens and friends of the city school teachers when Colonel N. G. Osborn, according to the request of a number of prominent citizens, ascended the platform and, as chair man, called together a meeting for the discussion of the salary situation. Colonel Osborn opened the meeting with brief summing up of the status of the case and the reason for calling the assembly together He said:
 While the board of education has done much in the past for the schools of New Haven, we ought not to accept on that account an unfortunate conclu- sion of the board as sound. I, for one, think that the board has made a great mistake in the arrangement of its schedule.
 T want to congratulate both parties in the case on the intelligent character of the fight, Usually when two individ- uals or two parties oppose each other one or the other loses its temper In this case neither side has lost it's tenn per.
 This question is one of whether the teachers shall be given living wags or not and not one of laying a burden on the taxpayers. The board has fail- ed to make gradual increase each year during past years in salaries, un- til now the teachers are asking what they would in that case have been get ting. I think that the teachers have been modest, patient, wise in their de- mand, if demand 1t can be called. The board of finance has sgnified it's will ingness, in the only manner in which it can, to find the money if the board of education will ask for it. Then here comes in the everlasting conflict be- tween pride and pride. That Is the main trouble in this matter
 T see man in the assembly who has made many good fights for the people of New Haven will ask Alex ander Troup to address the meeting"

 Starters.

 DETERMINED UPON

The principal topic of discussion at the meeting of the board of police com missioners last night was how to insure a safe and sane celebration of the Fourth. The police have received large number of complaints this year because of premature efforts at cele- bratlon. There are an unusually large number of sick people this year and the noise has proved very annoying to them

 The patrolmen will receive orders this morning to arrest any one found violating the order
 The commissioners state that they are determined that Mayor Studleys orders for a safe and sane Fourth shall be obeyed to the letter and a number of extra policemen as well as plain clothes men will be put on tomorrow to see that the rules are obeyed. The mayors orders strictly forbid the discharging of cartridge revolvers or bomb canes
 The commissioners have given Super intendent Austin L, w. Kitridge of the police telegraph service leave of ab- sence to attend the convention of the International Association of Municipal Electricians, which will be held August ', 8 and 9 at Norfolk, Va.
 A committee of the policemen handed | in to the commissioners petition for an Increase of pay. There was no schedule attached to the petition and no action was taken on 1t last night.
 The board received a letter from ex- Senator NJ. E Chatfieid in which iie l warmly commended Detectives Ward and McAvoy for the arrest of Michael Mullen while the latter was trying to burglarze the senator's house at Pine 1 Orchard.
 In his monthly report Chief Wrinn gave honorable mention to Patrolman ]. J. MclAvoy, who captured two thieves In Q Wooster street harness shop, Ser geant Bergen, Patrolmen Barlow and McQueeney for the capture of thieves and to Patrolman Edwin Lawlor for the stopping of two runaways.
 The fifteen patrolmen who were ap- pointed to positions on the force on January last finished six months of the new rules are entitled to grade increase from F to D. The promotion carries with it an increase in salary from sg.26 to $250 day The names of the men promoted are: Michael Hanrahan, George R. Sullivan, John J.. Lyons. James J. McAvoy William H.

 The latter bill took but minute to dispose of. The highway took all the forenoon session, and the automobise bill most of the afternoon. This lat ter measure came from the committed on roads, rivers and bridges and is of considerable length. sFive amendments were debated, four of them accepted, and a motion to postpone the whole matter indefinitely voted down. Just whom the senate was about to adjourn Senator Atwater asked for reconsidera- tion of the bill, and this was tabled. owing to the lateness of the hour.
