LEAVITTS PART COMPANY.
Ruth Bryan and Artist Husband Will
 Not See Each Other.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 10.-William Ho- mer Leavitt husband of William J. Bryan's daughter Ruth. has been in Paris six months and will never rejoin his wife, according to authentic ad- vices received here. The latest infor- nation received was from Mrs. Leav- itt, who is also abroad. It was con- tained in letter to Miss Edith Locks, a classmate of Mrs. Leavitt's at Ne braska university, to whom the DOT trait painters wife announced that she would not see her husband while in Europe, where she is with her mother, and that she did not expect her hus- band to return to the United States.
 In preparing for the present Euro pean trip, on which she recently sailed from New York, Mrs. William J. Bry- an invited a Miss Raymond of Lin coin to accompany her and her daugh- ter. The question of Mir. Leavitt's movements being mentioned, Mrs. Bry- an is reported to have said that her son-in-law was already in Paris and that probably he would never return.

FOR A RECEIVER
Superiort Court Rearing Was
 Set For To-Day.

The proposition to appoint re- ceiver for the property which Judge Gager of the superior court has ruled must be returned by Mrs Mar garet E. Kilduff to F. B. O'Neill, trustee in bankruptcy, for the bene- fit of the creditors of E. G. Kilduff & Go, was down for hearing in the superior court in New Haven to-day. Attorney Bronson represented the creditors and Attorney Carmody Mrs Kilduff. l. was set forth that the reasons why such an appoint ment should be made were that the taxes on the property have not been paid since 1902, when the property was bought, that bills for repairs are overdue, and other repairs are neces- sary. Furthermore, that it is now advisable some one should collect the rents. Attorney Lewis, MT Bronson's partner, said the creditors had no particular person in view for the receivership.

 Notwithstanding the fact that a person had been drowned at Forest park in the morning, many young men and boys had no fear of the ice and skated to their hearts content on the lake yesterday afternoon.

 There was very little business for the city court to-day. John Gainey was committed to jail for thirty days for intoXication, and sentence was suspended in the case against John Harmon for keeping an unregistered dog. Unfortunate as the circum- stances of Harmon are they were not so as to prevent him keep ing a dog. It was stated that he lives at Al Baldwin street and is a victim of the industrial depression. He is castor's helper and had not worked in two months up to week ago. He has six children and now earns $2 day for three days d week. It was this unfortunate state of affairs that saved him from a fine Charles Novitski of Charles street paid $5 in settlement of similar case.

than be held up for a longer time.
 And even gaining the concessions We
 have, the various extensions and im-
 provements to the service have been
 held up anywhere from one to two, even three years. It is my personal l belief that the fact that we have gone without the service We might have had for this length of time has resulted, not only in a loss to the merchants through business they might have had. but also loss to the city itself, in the loss of taxes on property that would have been im- proved, and in various other ways. I think that all are agreed that all streets upon which the trolley Is op- erated should be double tracked.
 'I would recommend to the associ- ation that a special committee be raised for the purpose of dealing with public service corporations and to use every effort to bring the corporations and the city to an agreement, so that all extensions and double tracking can be accomplished to the advantage of all concerned at as early a date as possible"

PROBATION OFFICER
Says Non.Suppori Cases Aver.
 age the Same Each Year.

The records of the city court pro. bation officer. Nicholas Combellack, i superintendent of the Boys club.
 show that about the same number of
 non-support cases come to his of
 ficial attention every year. For the
 year 1907 thirty-fiye cases for non
 support were turned over to him
 and about the same number was
 similarly disposed of the year be-
 fore. Of other cases such as intoxi-
 cation, breach of the peace and as-
 sault, he dealt with All, making a
 total of 506 of all cases for 1907. There is no court in the state that
 so literally employs the probation officer as the city court of Water
 bury, and that Is taken as one of the reasons why the court is not only self-sustaining but source of in- come to the city as we'll. It explains also why so small number of cases of all kinds are sent to the county jail from Waterbury in comparison with the number sent from other places. Every morning in the city court the cry is made. Please, your honor, put me on probation. for I've got job and 1 don't want to lose it. Jail in such cases means the loss of work to the father of fam fly, and after his sentence is served he faces home with the stigma of the prison fresh upon him and little prospect of recovering his lost job. On the other hand when he is put on probation his family does not fall upon his relatives, or the town, for support. He is allowed his freedom and chance to reIorm, support his family and at the same time pay the consequences of his errors against the law.
 For 1907 Probation Officer Com bellack collected from thirty-five de- linquent husbands $1,93S.50 and paid 1t over to their wives for the support of their families. If these men had been sent to jail their fam flies in all probability would have become charges upon the taxpayers, and in the end no one would have benefited by the mems imprisonment.
 In 1906 there was collected from the same sources, husbands charged with non-support of their families, $2,277.93, which the men cheerfully paid rather than go to jail
 In fines the probation officer col lected last year $3,525.93 and for the year before that $3,53S.57, just a few dollars more than he did in 1907.
 The probation officer does not make an itemized report of his work to the city court, but to the secre- tary of state. To the city court clerk, P. J. McMahon. MT Combel- lack makes his report in bulk. The chief work of The probation officer Is finding work for men who Are out )f employment and who have been ordered by the court to pay certain sum toward the support of their fam lies. Of course without the work t would be impossible for the men o comply with the order of the .ourt.
