AND NOW RICHARDSON
Representative From North SiOn- inqton Sailed Into Governor
 Woodruff Without Mercy.

Hartford, May 2.-The bills on the matter of changing the methods of electing county commissioners brought out an interesting debate in the house to-day, in which many of the members participated. The two bills which caused the talk provided as follows: One provided for the ap- pointment of the county commits sioners by the superior court and the other provided that they be elect ed by the people. :.
 Representative Richardson of North Stonington caused quite a stir by the speech he made against the bills. He spoke in part as follows: "The people of this country are heartily tired of hearing all the while about making a change. Even the governor wants change. He wants to do about all there is to be done. He wanted to appoint the county commissioners but we turned him down. The trouble with him is that he thinks he is monarch on a throne and he thinks he is the only honest man there is. He's all right as long as he stays where he belongs. l hope you will kill those bills and kill them deader. than a door nall. :" The debate lasted up to recess time. The trade school bill was the order of the day in the senate. After some debate the bill was referred to a committee.

BREWER CAUGHT
Syracuse Man Who Skipped His Bond and Went Over the
 Line 10 Canada
PERJURY THE CHARGE

Auburn, N. Y., May 2.-A dispatch to the Citizen says:
 Herman Bartels, ST, the Syracuse brewer, wanted in Auburn on a charge of attempted arson, is under arrest at Niagara Falls, Ont. He was taken into custody there last night. District Attorney Burritt has gone to Niagara Falls.
 Bartels was convicted here last year for attempted arson and being under heavy bail was given three days to straighten out his business af- fairs before being sentenced. In- stead of appearing in court for sen tence Bartels fled to Canada.
 Barrels could not be extradited for the crime for which he was convict ed. Recently Bartels was indicted for perjury committed while testify ing in his own behalf during the trial at which he was convicted of at- tempted arson.
 Perjury is an extraditable crime and it was on these grounds that Barrels was arrested by the Cana dian authorities.

BAND STAND DOWN.
Contractor Mackie Made Short Work
 of Old Landmark.

This afternoon Contractor Mackie started in to cut the head, shoulders and supports off the band stand. This will make it into two equal parts. The top will weigh something in the neighborhood of three and half tons, the platform and other parts will weigh about two tons. While this work is going on Caretaker Philip Me Evoy, who kept all his tools under the floor of the band stand, is moving bis traps to the basement of the city hall annex, where he will be cooped up until the board of public works finds time to secure a more suitable place for him. After the band stand vacates its old stand the site 1t occu- pied would make a splendid spot on which to erect monument to some man who deserves the honor from his fellow townsmen. So many might be mentioned in this connection that one does not like to be too specific. It was said some time ago that fin the near future several statutes will be erected in the green and in Hamilton park. to commemorate the memory of Waterbury men and that selections would be made by committee ap- pointed at a public meeting called for that purpose.

 HOur-RaiIrOadS Resume.

Lancaster, N. H., May 2.-The crest of the spring freshet passed here dur ing the night, and is now moving down the Connecticut river at the rate of four miles an hour. Since sun- rise the water has subsidcd about six inches.
 It is expected that passenger traf. fic will be. resumed on the lines of the Maine Central and Boston x Name railroads to-day. There have been no trains through the Three River Falls, Vt, the northern terminus of the Maine Central road for two days, but it is thought that traffic will be re- sumed before night.
 Aside from the inconvenience caused the lumber operators by their' log drives going astray, comparative- ly little damage has been caused by the flood.

DANDELION HUNTERS
Spelling Lawns About the City
 By Use of Knives.


 People who own lawns especially in the outskirts of the town are very much disturbed over the presence of groups of men, women and children who go where they please armed with knives. which they delve into the earth with a dexterity which shows that they are adopts to tue business. They are after dandelions and almost everything else that has put Its head above the ground and keep working until thew fill their bags to their ut- most capacity. Many of them are surly looking customers and tramp here and there with a ''touch me if you dare" gait, and liousekeepers and others who know something about the temperament of the unwelcome visitors give them wide berth. As rule the women get out when re- quested to do so, but the men stand and stare you out of countenance and then commence to apply the knife again without taking any stock in tue order to vacate.

ANOTHER STRIKE
Two Men Arrested as Result of Trouble at American Mills
 This Afternoon
MORE PAY

With the freight handlers strike ill full blast another batch of men to the number of twelve employed ill the American Mills factory on Mill street came to the conclusion to-day that they were not receiving their just dues and went out on strike. They were all Italians and employed as weavers.
 As result of the strike, two of the men, said to be the leaders Of the movement were arrested. One of them is Joseph Marchize and is charged with lettering, while the other Ciancia De Bastiano will have to face a charge of breach of peace in court to- morrow morning. Both men were ar rested this afternoon about l o'clock by Officer Fitzgerald
 At the office of the concern it was stated this afternoon that the men had no real grievance, but the past few days the strikers that were arrested have been filling the heads of the oth- CTS with socialistic ideas with the re- suit that trouble started to brew. "The men were we'll paid and were content with their work, and if it were not for those disturbers, referring to the men arrested, there would have been no trouble," said member of the con cern. we do not know just what they wanted, but if we listened to the demands of Marchize and De Bastiano we would have to start an entirely new system. These men are nothing but crazy socialists, who have deyil- ish ideas in their heads and are enough to cause trouble anywhere.
 After the men went out we would not have cared, their leaving incon- venienced us a little, but not to any extent, but they got outside and set up a great holler with the result that a couple of them landed at the police station"
 De Bastiano is said to have been looking for fight inside the factory and was after some ones scalp. He has been employed at the factory on and off for a year. Marchize has been working there about three months.
 Though the men arrested did not have chance to be heard from, one of the strikers speaking through an interpreter declared that the men were anything but content with the man ner in which the work was going on lately. The found it harder to make days pay and said that the com pany was endeavoring to have them do work at a price which was unrea- sonable.
 The concern said that it would be delighted if the men would remain away from the factory as it could run along very well without them. This afternoon it was rumored that the strikers after their leaders were ar rested this morning were very sore and vowed to get even.

DoNAHUE DEFIEs LABOR UNION
Will Speak at Gunshanan's Dinner in
 Spite of Edict Against it.

Hartford, May 2.-Charles J. Don- ahue announced at last nights meet ing of the Central Labor union that he would speak at the dinner which Is to be held this month by the West Side Workingmen's club. The au- nouncement comes after a rather bit- ter fight on John F. Gunshanan, pro- moter of the West Side Working mems club. by the Central Labor union through its officers, President Frank J. Martin and Secretary Dan iel A. Fitzpatrick. who were deter mined that Donahue should not speak.
 It will be recalled that about two weeks ago the announcement was made by MT Gunshanan of the West Side Workingmen's club that the club was to hold dinner in May and that among other speakers, the club would have present MT Donahus, head of the Connecticut branch of the Fed eration of labor. and candidate last fall for congressman at large. Upon hearing of it the Central Labor uuion of Hartford at once announced that it would see to it that Mir Donahue did not speak at the dinner. since the union opposed the West Side Workingmen club. It was not composed entirely of union labor but posed, so they said. as an organization of such men. At that time Frank J. Martin. the president of the Gen. tral Labor union, said that his or ganization would give Mir Gunshanan a good fight. If he was looking for 1t, and that Mir Donahue would be forced to decline the invitation to speak.

DEAD MAN BURIED
Autopsy Was Performed on Body of Murdered Man - Detec-
 lives Busy Last Night.

The detective department Is hard at work endeavoring to get trace of the person or persons who murdered Roc co Elmo in the woods on Sunnyside avenue, Tuesday afternoon. Though the clews are very slim, if there is any way of running down the men who did the murdering, Detective Dodds with the aid of Detective Thomas Colesanto, who has powerful iItiu- ence among his countrymen, and the other detectives intend to do so
 Coroner Eli Mix has been notified by Medical Examiner Crane of the killing, but it is a question whether he will come to this city. Last even ing the medical examiner with Dr Goodenough performed an autopsy on the body and it was found that ten shots had been sent into the man. The bullet which was sent through the back of his head near his ear passed through the brain and almost peEe- trated the eye ball. The other bull lets were sent into his heart, shoulder, abdomen and legs It is strange that the assailants didn't load up few more times and let fire for amuse- ment if for no other reason, as they seemed intent not only on taking the mans life, but also making his body appear like sieve.
 The police are becoming more con vinced that Elmo was bad egg and was mixed up in some clever swindles. Some of the Italians go as far as to say that he was one of the most des- perate blackhand meu that ever came to this city and had no mercy with his victims.
 It is now thought that it was no other than Elmo who buncoed Nick Delappo out of about $100 a few weeks ago and later got into a fel- low country man on East Main street for about $42O. He is said to have passed remarks at various times that the business was not as profitable as he had anticipated, but he must have expected q gold mine as from reports he cleaned up good sum during hls short stay in this city.
 The only person with whom 1t is said he had very close relations was man who was accustomed to come about once a week from New York. Still Elmo often visited tine saloons on Meadow street and was seen in one of them on Tuesday afternoon, so it is said. As yet the police have been unable to locate the mans rela- tives. The body is still at the nor que of Mancini and Ruggierlo on Bank street. where It was taken yes terday.
 Though Elmo lived for time ac the Earle house lately he has been resid- ing on Green street. He packed up his belongings in that place on Tues day morning declaring that he was going to make his home with a mar ried couple on French street. He left Green street about [ 80 and later was seen in Vitello's saloon on Meadow street. That was the last trace of the murdered man. It is thought that Elmo left a wife and two children in Sicily.
 This afternoon Medical Examiner Crane came to the conclusion that there was no further need of holding the body so he ordered Mancini and Ruggerio to bury the remains. At press hour the undertakers were pre- pairing to inter the body in the town eompfery

CHASING TUCKER
Officials We're Speeding After Him in Auto When Their
 Lights Went Out
TUCKER AT GUILFORD

Guilford, May 2.--WiIliam Tucker the escaped criminal who is wanted by the Middletown authorities for breaking away from the insane asy- lum with William Carpenter, was seen in North Guilford last night and was reported to be on the road to New Haven. Tucker met. James Bartlett, a deaf mute and asked him the road to New Haven and how many towns he would have to pass to reach that city. The questions were written on piece of paper. Later Tucker went to Mann Brothers store in North Guilford and got some more informa- tion and then set out along the New Haven road.
 About 8 o'clock last night the in- sane asylum authorities came along here in an automobile, hot on the trail of Tucker but when they reached the outskirts of the town their lights gave out and they were delayed for an hour until local automobile dealer came along and plcked them up in his machine.

PASTOR LEAVES WIFE.
Fashionable Flock Astounded at Ac- ton of Rev John Rhode Cooke.


 New York, May Members of the fashionable St Georges Episcopal church, at Hampstead, L. l., were as founded to-day when they learned that their pastor, the Rev John Rhode Cook, had departed from Hampstead and that Miss Floretta Whaley also had left her home and had written letters saying she would not return. The Rev MT Cooke is married. His wife is Miss Matilda Clarke, daughter of Rienzi A. Clarke, of Hartford. She left Hampstead some time ago and is now at her fla ther's home.
 That official cognizance is to be taken of the mysterious departure of the pastor is evident from a formal statement which was issued to-day by Bishop Burgess of Long Island. He says that immediate action will be taken by the vetry of St Georges church to fill the vacancy caused by the departure of MT Cooke. The vestry is overwhelmed by the unex- pected calamity" said Bishop Bur gess, land is at loss to account for 1t. It is inclined to the belief that Dr Cooke cannot be of sound mind. :"
 Three years ago with Mrs Cooke and party of Sunday school cliil- dren he was in a trolley car collision and he has been a nervous wreck ev- CT since. He obtained leave of ab- sence for a year ago he went to Eu- rope to recuperate but his condition since his return has been poor. The church and it's property are in the best of condition. The funds arc in tact. The vestry will take immediate steps to fill the vacancy caused by the departure of Mir Cooke"
 According to stories which were cir culated freely in Hampstead to-day the infatuation of the minister for Miss whaley has been apparent for some time, and was the direct cause of Mrs Cooke leaving her fathers home. It is said that the young wo- mans grandmother. with whom she made her home, became aware of the infatuation some time ago and asked the minister to cease his visits to her home. Miss Whaley left her home several days ago saying she intended to visit friends in this city.
 A little later the grandmother re- ceived letter saying that when it was received they" would be out of the country. MT Cooke has not been seen since the letter was received.
 Hartford. May 2.-Mrs Cooke is so prostrated by the news of her hus- bands faithlessness that she is tm- able to travel and cannot see anyone but her physician. Her husband was former resident of this city and was known as Jerry Cooke. MT Clarke. father-in-law of Cooke said he had received a litter bearing the Bal timore postmark. which was supposed to be from Cooke, but his daughter declined to have it opened, saying sne had no interest in it's contents.
