 His Children's Ages.

Iu the city court case against Charles Hennessey, jr for hunting on posted premises was continued on his own recognizance. Similar disposi- ton was made of a case against Mich ael Della for cruelty to his horse. Charles Cone was fined S5 and costs for intoXication.
 John Lane was charged with intoxi- cation, but he owes so much in pro- bation fines that the court saw be would be perpetually in debt if he was fined again. So the case was continued week to see how Lane will make use of his chance.
 Patrick Calvin was fined S5 and costs for drunkenness and for intoXi- cation and resisting arrest at the hands of Officer John Brickel. Frank Healey was fined $5 and costs and $10 and costs.

ROW AT THE FAIR
State Police Roughly Banded
 But Made Several Arrests.

The Wolcott fair yesterday, early in the day, promised to be the slow est in years, but before night had set in the citizens of the quiet little vil- lage, as well as the hundreds from Waterbury, had witnessed a fight which assumed the nature of a riot. It was battle between several young men from this city and the state po- lice who were in charge of the fair. The trouble would not have occurred if the local police had been on hand, but the state officers without their uniforms had difficult time making themselves known. During the com bat between the boys and the officers one of the latter was compelled to draw his revolver and fire in the air in order to keep back the crowd which surged around the temporary lookup where the disturbers were in- carcerated. The boys arrested were Patrick Scanlon, Albert Robillard, Thomas Morgan, William Robillard. William Blodgett and Benjamin Noether. All except Blodgett and Noether were released on bonds fur nished by Daniel Mahaney and John Brophy The boys who could not get bonds were brought to this city and held in the station until this morning, when they were taken to Wolcott to De tried.
 Last year there was no fighting to speak of, the chief offense being the hurling of fruit, but the local police kept pretty fair order. The state police could not reason with the ''cut ups" as local officers, and of course there was bound to be some thing doing. It is said that the fight yesterday started when one individ- ual endeavored to sneak in. He was caught, so it is said, by one of the state officers, who in his civilian's S clothes might he taken for a ma tive" He was captured and was being marched to the "coop" when his friends started to pelt the officer with sticks and stones. AS the off, cer advanced a crowd began to follow and when the temporary station was reached the crowd was large. The officer had to be reinforced by other members of the force at the grounds and succeeded in locking up the man, but with much difficulty. But the shower of sticks, stones, vegeta- bles and a few eggs that was sent through the air at the officers warned them that other things might be coming. And come they did! Like the charge of the 500 the crowd was surrounding the officers and the situ- ation looked so alarming that one of the guardians of the peace drew his revolver and fired into the air. That helped some. Shortly after, when the crowd became less boisterous, half dozen deputies were sworn in. For the remainder of the day the crowd was he'd well in check, all though more than fifty boys and men were around the lookup until dark ness came.
 The men were brought before Jus tice of the Peace John R. s. Todd and were charged with breach of the peace. .
 The state police who were at the grounds were M. s. Loucks of Hart ford, w. E. Jackson of Willimantic, James Seton of Hartford, James Me Cabe of SOuthington and F. L. Nor way of Watertown. MT Loucks re- ceived very bad cut on the head, but was the only one injured.

BANKS NIGHT BUSINESS
Officer of Clearing House Association
 Says Law Forbids it.

New Haven, Oct. 17-Among lead. ing banking men in this city the pro. position to keep open the banks Sat. urday nights so that merchants may deposit the proceeds of their days business where the same will be more secure than in their own safes, has very little sympathy. That this peti. tion to the bankers will be adopted iI generally doubted.
 Whether the merchants were to present their petition to the banks individually or send it to the New Haven Clearing House association i. conjectural. However an officer of the clearing house organization who would not allow the use of his name made this statement yesterday:
 ''The law says that we shall close at 12 o'clock on Saturday and we shall have respect for the law al. ways This proposition is very un. reasonable. The banks are opened from 9 a. m. until p. m. every day except Saturday, and on the latter day are open until 12 o'clock and this, I think, is ample time for the merchants"
 When asked if he was speaking for the Clearing House association this authority said: Well, if know the sentiment of other bankers in this matter, I can talk for all banks that are members of the Clearing House association. Certainly I speak for my own. We will not open Saturday nights. We cannot do it and obey the law"

MORAN NOT THE MAN
Who Collected Money From the
 Politicians Last Month.

John P. Moran of 1S9 Meadow street, New Haven, who was brought to this city yesterday, accused of hav- ing obtained money under false pre- lenses a few days before election, was discharged after he had been in custody two hours. The warrant on which Moran had been arrested charged him with having done" Will liam H. Sandland, city clerk, for $15. MT Sandland not only failed to iden- tify Moran as the person who re- ceived his fifteen bills, but also de- clared that he had never sworn out warrant for Moran. He claimed that the prosecuting agent must have used his name without his knowl- edge.
 Moran had with him yesterday credentials of the Interior Freight Handlers and Warehousemen's union, local 6S, of New Haven, which gave him permission to solicit ad- vertisements for the official year book and journal of the union. The following is a copy of the creden- tial:
 To the Merchants and Manufactur-
 CTS:
 This credential will introduce to you J. P. Moran, who calls to request in our behalf the favor of your ad- vertisement for our official journal and year book. Any favor extended or advertisement given will be high ly appreciated by our organization, and we assure you of our reciproca- ton when the opportunity affords.
 Yours very truly,
 MICHAEL KAVANAUGH, Pres.
 STEPHEN BYRNE, Sec'y.
 Frank Earle of the Typographical union and William Hickey of the Bartenders' union of New Haven verified the statements of Moran.
 MT Sandland, in order to fully ex- onerate the man as far as he was concerned, then made out and signed the following statement:
 October 15, 1907. To Whom It May Concern:
 This is to certify that the man ar rested and brought to Waterbury to answer to the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses by means of soliciting advertisements for a labor souvenir book, and to whom I was introduced at the Wa terbury police station on Wednesday, October 16, 1907, is not the man who obtained money from me, nor have I ever seen this man before, to the best of my knowledge.
 Very truly yours,
 WILLIAM H. SANDLAND.

MORE PATROLMEN
Superintendent Beach Wants
 Seven More Men.

At the meeting of the board of pubd lie safety yesterday afternoon Super intendent of Police Beach sent in a copy of his annual communication recommending a whole lot of things for the consideration of the board when the question of appropriations comes up. The superintendent is con- f1dent in the first place, that the city of Waterbury has now a population of 10000 people and that the city is insufticiently policed. He contends that the growth of the police depart ment has not kept pace with the growth of the city, and he says it is about time the board should get hunch on and do things.
 The superintendent recommended the appointment of seven more police men and one sergeant for day duty. The post of captain, he says is worth S4 day and the pay of the head of the detectives ought not to be a cent less than that amount. The seargants and the detectives should be paid $3.25 day and a fourth grade in the police ought to be established to be known as grade D. This grade would serve as kind of promotion where policemen could be placed provided they had served five years on the force without having record against them. Men in this grade would be paid $3 day. He also recommended an au- tomobile patrol wagon at a cost of $3,500.
 The superintendent concluded these recommendations, if carried out, would add only about $10,OOO more a year to the burdens of the taxpayers. The board did not discuss this mes- sage, for some of the members have their own opinion of how things should be run in the police depart- ment, and it was laid over to a spec ial meeting which shall be held next Wednesday afternoon, when the mat ter of appropriations will come up! The superintendent's estimated ex- pense of the police department for 1908 is as follows:
 Salares-Superinten $2,OO0: captain and lieutenant, $2,562. three sergeants and three detectives: $6,- 5SS; 37 patrolmen, $37,200; doorman, $015; matron, $2O0; supernumeraries, regular duty, $1,O00; supernumerarles, special duty, $1,200; park policeman, $500; patrol wagon, $1,700: light, $70O; fuel, $350; telephone, rent service, $250; signal system, $200: printing, S200; new police manuals, $500: irci- dental expenses, $500; detective con- tingent fund. $500; total, $56,965; police service outside the district, $200; grand total, $5S,965.

INSANITY AS THE DEFENSE
Looks Like It Is Going To BE of the
''EmotionaI'' Sort.

Looks Like It Is Going To BE of the
''EmotionaT' Sort.
Harry G. Brearley, an advertising
agent, was the first talesmen to quail
fy- He took his place as juror No. 6,
the chair made vacant by the dropping
of Harold r. Faire from the jury PAN
ell Tuesday Brearley told the attor-
neys for the defense that he had no
prejudice whatsoever against a plea OF
insanity, and that in judging such
plea he would be guided by the princi-
pie of allowing the defendant the adj
vantage of every reasonable doubt
Tho eleventh juror, Henry L. Klein
berger, a silk merchant, said he knew
very little about the subject Of insan-
ity. and would have to be guided by
the instructions Of the court in arriv-
ing at a conclusion on such plea.
The manner in which Thaw's attor-
neys continued to dwell upon the sub

various talesmen seemed to indicate

attorneys may bring in such details as

may have an underlined belief in the

There is much speculation as to what
course jerome viii pursue if Thaw's
counsel begins to develop its plea OF

combat its alienists, but there is d pos
sibility that he may bring the proceed

GENTLEMAN NIGHT

That "gentlemen's night" 1T which

even from the standpoint of the man.
there can be no doubt For he has
admitted to outsiders who had Moth

"GentIemen's night" happens once a
year and on this occasion the members
of the Woman's club concentrate their
energies. for an unusually brilliant ef-
fort The results Tuesday night
showed this.
Hammond's representative mascul-

While the husbands as rule make
