COUNTY HOME PLANS.
Structure to Cost $1OO,OOO and Ac.
 cOmmOdate 200.

Plans for the new county home to be erected at Allingtown have been approved by the legislative commit tee appointed to arrange for the erection of the building and early in January the county representa- tives will be called together in New Haven to look over the plans and make suggestions if they deem changes advisable.
 The buildings will cost about $100,000, and the location has cost additionally $11,550. The main building will be 200 feet long and three and one-half stories high. There will be two wings and an an. mex. In the annex will be hospital fitted up for the sick, with physi- clans and nurses quarters.
 In all the institution will accom- modate 200 children. The present home in Shelton avenue accommo- dates only fifty. It is likely that even with the extra accommodations at the new institution it will be necessary to board out some of the children committed to the home, as the commitments are increasing rap- idly.
 In the last six months more chil- dren have been sent to the county home than in a whole year previous ly.
 : The new county home will be of brick and built in the colonial style. It will be an imposing structure. There will be four school rooms in it. bath rooms, toilet rooms, complets kitchen department. dining room, large lecture room, etc.
 The sanitary arrangement will be of the best. The ventilation and lighting will be according to the most improved methods.
 The committee in charge of the construction of the institution is composed of County Commissioner Walter, Thompson and Geddes, Sen. ator Blakeslee and Representatives Tibbetts of Wallingford and Gum of Milford.

THE DIAMOND STILL TRYING
 TO BUTT IN American Association Persistent in Attempt to Get Into
 Chicago.

Chicago, Dec 31.-At the Ameri- can association meeting Sunday it was voted to appoint President Jos eph D. O'Brien of Milwaukee a com mittee of one to ask permission of the national commission for the right to place club in Chicago. The commission will meet January 6 at Cincinnati, when O'Brien will pre- sent the territorial right question of his organization.
 Several of the representatives at Sundays meeting were anxious to go ahead without the sanction of tEe commission, but more conservative Judgment prevailed.
 George Tebeau of Louisville and Kansas City was reelected chairman of the board of directors for the as- sociatiOn, and Mike Cantilion re- elected vice-president. They, with Thomas Bryce, will arrange the schedule, which will be for 154 games. The season opens on April 15.
 President Murphy of the Cubs Sunday received a telegraph message from Tad Jones, the Yale athlete, which puts to rest all the reports that the famous college catcher was about to enter professional base bail.
 Murphy and Manager Frank Chance were much impressed with the backstop work of Jones as a coi- legian and when the Cubs went east last fall made overtures to sign the Yale star.
 When the recent story about Billy Lush suggesting Jones as a possible addition to the Cleveland team came out Murphy got busy.
 Sunday he received this definite reply:
 "Middletown, O.-I am pleased with the compliment and appreciate the honor you do me by offering me position upon the worlds champion Cubs, but 1 do not care to play pro- fessional base ball. (Signed) Tad Jones'"
 Although Joe Cantillon, the man. ager of the Washington American ledSu0 lSdul, SlSueu d lHTee veal . contract last winter for a total of $21, ,000, it is said that if the Ameri- can association, in which Cantillon and his brother are interested, should decide to invade Chicago, Ban Johnson will find a way to get Can tillon out of Washington. It was Johnson's influence that landed Can tillon in his present lucrative berth, but the latter has been trying to stir up opposition to Johnson ever since In fact, he has become such a mar plot that at the recent meeting of the American league in Chicago the club owners saw fit to administer a rebuke to the Washington club by keeping the owner and employer of Cantillon off the leagues board of directors. Cantillon did not improve base ball conditions in Washington last season in spite of his big salary, and from present indications his team will remain at the bottom of the ladder next year. With his American association irons in the fire it begins to appear as if Cantillon's services to the Washington club had been impaired.

 HERE TONIGHT We Will be Ready for Them Beaten in a Close Game
 Last Night.

New Britain will oppose our team in the polo race tonight and we should give good account of our selves. In all probability Bobby Lox- son will be ill the game and if he is we will begin with d victory. A new player will also be in the lineup for New Britain, one "Soxy" Lyons, who comes from out of the west. He is considered one of the best halfbacks in the business, and with Jean in the middle with him, they ought to put up a great battle We believe that we have two just as good men as they are in Fahey and Holderness and we will prove that this. evening. However, it will be great game to see.

If you see a man wearing a union

sinking down one Of the side streets
today and breaking into a frantic run
at the sight of a woman carrying a
baby in her arms, don't notify the po-
lice. He is not a criminal nor a fugf-

pity and not condemnation. At last
