The republican party is in a sore
way all over the country and its
leaders are trying to pre-
pare their answers TO the
questions that will be asked of 1t in
the course of few months. They
find now that all their promises
made four years ago cannot be full
filed, for they were false and they
knew they were false when they
made them. Local republicans fear
for the result of the submarine boat
investigation in Washington and
some of them admit that 1t will end
in a fizzle and cause defeat for their
state ticket. There was never so
much guessing in the ranks of the
republican party in Waterbury and
in order to put brave face on mat
tiers il is proposed to send strong
party men to the state convention.

BOYS In COURT
Accused Of Throwing Coal From
$50. Cars on Siding. 4

Coal is scarce in the Wagner house
on Charles street. Joe, the Oldest
boy, aged IA, lost his right arm four
years ago while jumping on freight
train. Things we're SO at home that
he had to leave school to go to work
nine months ago, when his father
left town as. the only way to relieve
himself of the responsibility OF a
family of four children. zoe lost his
Job in Plume & Atwood's when the
republican big stick in Washington
fell with, disastrous crash on the
industries of the country, and that
did not help matters at, all in the
Wagner household. Then Mrs Wag-
ner had to get something 10 do to
keep the wolf from the door to make
up for. what little Joe used to bring
home on pay days at the shop. This
arrangement left a lot of time on
Joe's hands and afternoons and
evenings he used to go to, The rail-
road tracks and with the ,otner boys
stow away a bag of coal once in a
while, for things were decidedly. cold
at home.
Things were different, however, at
the home of James Kelly on Lafay-
cite street. There was plenty of
coal there, but James had a big
heart inside his small body and he
'elt for his friend Joe ana used to
help in his perambulations about the
coal cars. Mrs Kelly Said III the city
court to-day that she would not use
the coal that comes in the cars, and
she could not account for her boy
James throwing the coal Off the cars
to the boys and girls along the track
who used to assemble there evenings
and carry a good deal away. Thus
the two boys were engaged last even
ing throwing coal off the cars for
dear life, for they hack an ilea that
once the coal was on the ground it
was no longer the property of the
railroad company, whereas taking it
off the cars was another proposition
altogether. There was quite a
crowd of boys and girls and women
helping themselves to the coal when
along came the railroad cops and
there was scamper. Poor Joe
Wagner with his one arm could not
run as the others did, and young
Kelly's legs were too short 10 carry
him very fast. So they fell into the
hands of the cops and in the city
court to-day they were charged with
4trespass in the railroad company S
property and Joe was put nn proba-
ton to pay fine of SIS and costs,and
his friend Kelly was fined, 81 and
costs.
Another James Kelly has been
making HIS home in the cellar of a
house on Riverside street he past
few months. 1t was cold and cheer
less there, but 1t was the best he
could find, it seems, and last night
the owner of the house c Dmplained
to Officer. Neagle that Kelly. was in
danger of setting fire to the house.
Kelly was committed to Jail for
thirty days.

WINNER MUST BEAT
2:O4 IN BIG TROT

That 1t Is going TO take better thar
2:04 TO win at least two OF the -tEot-
ting events, to be contested on the State
Fair track during the Blue Ribbon
meeting which opens Monday is the
prediction made by Bob" Davis, the
veteran trainer whose trotter Margar
ct o. is to be one OF the starters In
the free-for-all trot, scheduled as one
Of the crack events OF the meeting.
Davis has a great piece OF trotting
machinery In the wonderful mare that
won SO many a hard-fought event on
the Grand Circuit last year. The
daughter of Onward Silver had TO be
content with second money In her
memorable clash with Jack Leyburn
at Terre Haute last week, but she
chased Jack ont in 2:04 ga for the
fastest mile of the year, one excepted,
and was interfered with considerably
by the other starters in the event at
that.
Davis believes that Margaret o. ls
up to a considerably better race now
and expects TO turn the tables.
Though Jack Leyburn will probably
rule favorite In the event, Margaret o.
will probably be second choice. most
OF the horsemen taking the ground
that the contest will be between the
two In the free-for-all.
At that, there have been days when
Sonoma Girl would not have stopped
at 2:04 either and her manners are
said to have been greatly improved
this year. so she may have some lay
regarding the disposal of the sensa-
honal event. Wilkes Heart, the Mich
igan-bred trotter that last year won the
title OF "Gamecock OF the Grand Cir
suit" will also be right there or there
abouts. though not quite up TO the aw-
full clip which is likely to see the
records smashed.
