He came before the police last night on the technical charge of likeness, but that is not the reason tho police have been on the lookout for him for some weary weeks Francisco Nico- rino. of s5 Hudson street, has griev- ance against the party of the first part, which is, according to his statement, that said Michael relieved him of a pocketbook containing the sum of $17

TO THE JURY TO-DAY Engineer Fisher of Grays' Special Soon to Know
 His Fate. HIS WIFE TESTIFIES Louis D. Higgins, of This City, Also a Witness for the
 Defense.
HIS WIFE TEsTIF1Es

Waterbury, Dec, 5,-Arguments were begun late to-day in the trial of Will liam Edward Fisher, the locomotive engineer charged with manslaughter and the case will go to the jury to- morrow afternoon. Assistant State At torney Kellogg argued for half an hour and when court was adjourned for the day and tomorrow, Judge Cur tfss ordered the jury to report at 930 so that the arguments could be pre- sented, allowing two hours for each side, by the time the noon recess was taken. His charge will be made the first thing in the afternoon and the fate of the engineer will be decided late in the day, in all probability.
 The defendant was on the stand practically all day to-day. He was compelled to admit several times that in his judgment, 1t was taking extra ordinary precaution when running his train thirty miles an hour within the yard limits in Waterbury. Hills sid ing is within the yard limits and ac- cofding to the rules of the company an engineer must slacken up his speed while In those limits. The rules also stste that on a foggy or thick or stormy night the engineer must use extraordinary precaution in going over the road where there are switches and set signals, Going thirty miles an hour the engineer contended was us- ing extraordinary precaution," Aside from this point the cross examination brought out little that was new.
 Following the defendant, Louis D. Higgins of 43 Admiral street, New Haven, was put on the stand by the defense. MT. Higgins was the man who met Fisher after the latter had come in from Mount Carmel on the afternoon of the wreck and who took him to his house, gave him a bath and hot whiskey to revive hiim. He aaid that when he met Fisher the latter was dazed and did not recognize him. Fisher remained in Higgins house un- til Tuesday afternoon.
 Mrs. Bessie Fisher, the wife of the defendant, also testified, she being the last witness in the case. Mrs, Fisher testified as to her husbands condition during the three days following the wreck, and emphasized the fact that it was her husbands friends, not the defendant himself, who made the ar arrangements for counsel and who ad- vised him to say nothing about the wreck to the coroner This closed the evidence and immediately Mir, Kellogg started the opening argument for the state. He will be followed by Mir. Webb and MT Elliott.

 The hearing proved heated ses- siony Anthony Carroll was present, and he furnished most of the fire but before the hearing was concluded he had drawn some fire in return from Alderman Woodford and Chairman Honan, or the committed Before the Rearing got started Edward Mccarthy presented his view of the public hear ing, which was to the effect that tho committee legally hal no right to act inaslnuch as the charter, he claimed did not give them authority to recon mend the expenditure of city money for an object of this kind which was not included in the estimates of the city, as this had not been.
 When Mccarthy had stated his con- tention he sat down. Before the com rnittee could get its hearing under way Carroll started in with an attack on the committee. He shouted that Flo man and Woodford were not compe- tent to act on the matter, declaring that they had allowed present oi s10,0 to be made to the New Haver Gas company. He did not enlighter the committee as to what he referred to any farther than this. When ht paused Senator Honaan suavely asked "Are you through, MT. Carroll?"

HAYES COMING BACK ovement on Foot to Re- store Sergeant to
 Force. ON WAY FROM SEATTLE Opposition to Replacing Him With His Former
 Rank.
ON WAY FROM SEATTLE

There is a movement on foot for the return to the New Haven police force of Sergeant Michael Hayes who was given a vacation of month last July and who has not reported for duty since that time Rumors of a resigna- ton were current for time and there were also reports that he was coming back but he did not appear. The va caflcy caused by his failure to reappear for duty has baen filled and the mat ter passed over
 Now 1t seems friends of the officer have been in communication with him and are actively at work attempting to secure his reinstatement on the force. They desire to see him appointed again as sergeant and are working with that end in view. After the report Of the civil service board Is made on the results of the captains exams there will probably be vacancy among the sergeants and Hayes friends are striv- ing to have him appointed to fill the vacancy
 The attempt is likely, 1t was stated last evening, to find strenuous oppos- ition among some of the members of the board That the plan will be pushed strongly seems certain from the fact that Hayes Is now on his way to this city from Seattle where he has been if he has not Indeed already feached New Haven, It is thought by some who know of the plan that he Is not far from the city now. It was only recently learned that he was out in Seattle.
 The matter has not yet been brought up before the police board. It is un- denstood that the former sergeant would like very much to get back on the force If he could do so without re- duotion in rank. Some of the members of the police board however, 1t is stat ed, are opposed to his reinstatement on account of his action in regard tc his going away and his failure to noti- fy them of his whereabouts and his relations to the force.

 PROF. EMERT RAPS SEC'Y CORTELYOB Such Financiering as Re- csntly Practiced Beck less Whatever the
 0utcome. INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OF TREASURY BREAKS Shaw Started Trouble by Max ing Himself Arbiter of the
 Financial Mar
 kets.

Professor Emery of the Yale Econ ornics department, in speaking last night before tbe Political science club of the university on srhe Interference of the Secretary Of the Treasury in the Money Market severely criticized the recent policy of Secretary Cortei- you in relation to the panic.
 He pointed out that the so-eaIled Independent treasury system has com pletely broken down. Established in 1S4s to divorce the government entire ly from the banks, 1t has resulted in a situation which makes the government more important factor in the bank ing world than 1t ever could have been under the old systems or than Is the case in any otherSeountry. He said further:
 The diffAculty arises primarily from our wretched budget system under which revenues are voted entirely inde. pendently of expenditures, a system which frequently leads to the piling up of a surplus of several hundred mil lion dollars The extraction of so much currency from the channels of business may so seriously affect the money market as to make some gov ernment action necessary; and from the beginning of tho system secretaries of the treasury have bought govern mont bonds or prepaid interest as a relief measure.
 since the establishment of the Ma tional Banking system the deposit of government funds in national hanks has been resorted to. Such arbitrary government relief Is fraught with great danger but with the exercise of due
