ASK POLICE PROTECTION
West Haveners 1omplain--Case of
 Sergeant Scranton.

A meeting of the taxpayers of the borough of West Haven was held last night, at which it was voted that taxes would be due and payable April b. A meeting of the warden and burgesses followed, at which Messrs. Connolly, Herman and Sullivan appeared and asked for better police protection cn Fourth avenue. They complained that they are annoyed evenings by gang of boys who congregate at tho corner of Fourth avenue and Wood stree..
 The meeting also considered the in junction case brought by David Platt, restraining the town of Orange from policing Savin Rock. A proposal was made to have the board pass a reso- lution requesting the town of Orange to patrol the territory in question. It is thought that the town will hold q meeting to place the matter before the taxpayers.
 Sergeant Walter Scranton is now pa- trolling the shore and some opponents of Warden Merwin are trying to have him discontinued.
 <allOlilSS 1Noil CApldliiCQ tllil II lllc borough passed said resolution and the town voted to police the shore again. it would only be necessary to ask Judge Gager to decide the points of law involved in order to settle the dispute. It is understood that Attor- ney E. P. Arvine for the complainants is willing to determine the case in this manner The board went in executive session without taking any action.
 Attorney c. K. Bush advised the board to appoint committee to see certain landowners and find out if the borough could not get quit claim deeds of the property between the road and high water mark at points where washouts occur in order to enable the borough to put in sea walls to protect the highways.

WIRE KILLS HORSE
Electric Break Results in Death of Emergency Wagon
 Animal.
DRIVER ALSO HAD SHOCK
Drove Onto Highly Charged Trolley Guard That Lay on the
 Ground

A live wire of high potential was the cause of bad accident on Sachem street, near Winchester avenue, early last evening. One of the horses on the Connecticut company's emergency wagon was electrocuted, and the two members of the wagon crew badly shocked. The wire that caused the &C., cident was the guard wire which broke, and fell across the trolley wire, thus becoming highly charged.
 The wire was first discovered by the motorman of an inbound Winchester avenue car as he was rounding the Sachem street corner Stopping the car, he called the emergency wagon, The tower car was out on a Fair Ha- ven call and only one man was left in the Meadow street station. He was John Kevlan, the driver. He set out alone in response to the call and pick ed up Andrew Moran, car inspector at the corner of Church and Chapel streets
 Fast time was made in going to the corner of Prospect and Sachem, and in going around that corner, a couple of stalled cars were seen up near Winchester avenue. Thinking the break was up in the vicinity of the cars the team was rot stopped, and as it was raining, and very dark, the live wire was not seen. The first intima tion the men had that they had arrived was when the team ran directly into the wire, and Kate. g mare. was in- saantly electrocuted. Some portion of the wire also came into contact with metallic work about the wagon and both Moran and Kevlan were badly shocked. Kevlan made an attempt to save the team He jumped from ths wagon and cut the guard wire up as high as he could reach it, getting an other bad shock as he did SO He con sidered the fact that he wore rubber boots is the only thing that saved him His effort was futile, however, for il was too late 10 save the animal A subsequent examination showed that the other horse was not badly injured
 The break in the wire was quickly mended.

Rome Tribuna Thinks Excite ment Among U, $. People by Cruise a Sign of
 Mistaken Policy.
AMBASSADOR NOT ALARMED
Baron Takahira is Not Borrowing Trouble Over Ships Whose Dcs- tination is Thousands of
 Miles from Japan.

Rome, Jan. 7--The Tribuna in an article on the cruise of the American battleship fleet to the Pacific expresses the opinion that President Roosevelt perhaps was mistaken in ordering it, fin view of the excitement 1t has aroused in the United States, both on the part of the people and the press. {"
 The paper quotes Baron Takahira, the Japanese minister to Italy. as say ing: The Japanese government loyal ly maintains its promise to do every thing possible to diminish emigration to America, as We have no need to send off our superfluous population even after the war. Japanese emigra- tion, much the same as Italian emi- grafton, has been the result of special conditions in certain regions and it has been suggested by the desire to seek better opportunities and the de- sire for adventure, and in addition, attending emlgrants haev been ably seconded by the agents of the naviga- ton companies.
 Although I am lacking official news know that the relations between Ja- pan and the United States are excel lent" The despatch of the American fleet to the Pacific cannot more than merely interest us. San Francisco being thousands of miles from Japan" | The Tribuna also publishes an intec- view with Lloyd c. Griscom, the Amer ican ambassador to Italy, who attrib- utes the augmentation of the Japanese in California to It's enormous develop ment He points out that the popula- tion of Japan is increasing at the rate of half million annually, but believes | that the Japanese government Is sin cerely striving to prevent its growing population from annoying other gov ernments, by opposing emigration as 1 far as 1t can. but not always success | fully. The American government he ayers, is thoroughly satisfied with its relation with the Japanese govern ment.

MERCHANTS IMPLICATED
Believed Hartford Stores Accented
 Stolen Silk Knowingly.

Hartford, Jan. 7.--James T. McDon- ough, freight brakeman living in East Hartford, was arrested to-day by railroad detectives on the charge of being implicated in the theft of 1,s0O yards of valuable silk which theft was reported to the police few weeks ago. The silk was stolen from freight cars between here and Manchester and up to to-day the case appeared to be one of the most mysterious that the local police have been called upon to handle for some time. Detective Lawson stat ed tonight that as the result of Me- Denough's arrest, a few local mer- chants might be brought into the case as having bought stolen goods with the knowledge that the silk was stolen. McDonough will be given a hearing to- morrow and some interesting develop ments are expected when he tells his story. The stolen silk was valued ct several thousand dollars.

THREE PERMANENT JURORS
Nucleus of Body to Try Thaw-Per-
 emptory Challenges.

New York, Jan 7.-Three jurors sworn to serve on the trial panel for Harry K. Thaw represented tonight the net results of the two days and six sessions of the trial before Justice Bowling in the criminal bench of the supreme court. In addition, however, there were four tentative jurors who still are subject to peremptory chal- lenge by either side. The task of fill ing the five vacant chairs will be re- stunned tomorrow morning. In all nlnety-fiye proposed jurors were call ed and questioned to-day, as against tlfty-seVen on yesterday.
 At the close of the afternoon ses- sion to-day the jury box was com pletely filled and hopes ran high that at least.a majority of those tentative ly chosen would prove acceptable to both sides. With the beginning of the evening session, however, all such hopes were dissipated
 When the suddenly descended storm of peremptory challenges cleared away there were but three survivors and it was agreed that they should be sworn as the nucleus of the trial panel They are: Charls E. Gremmels, ship broker, who is to be foreman Arthur R. Neathing, baker and cater CT, and George W. Cary, dry goods dealer. Following the administration of the oath to these three men coun- sel announced that the jury box would again be filled before any more per emptory challenges are exercised.
 The four provisional jurors are: George c. Rupprecht, salesman; Moses Greenbaum, insurance agent; John R. Maginn, retired broker, and Thomas F. Cranston, a printer.

NEW HAMPSHIRE DELAYED
Students on New York Boat Fright.
 encd Lest They Miss Chapel.

It took the steamer New Hampshire, which is taking the place of the Rich ard Peck between here and New York for the present an hour and half longer than usual to get up to the dock last evening. The fog over the harbor was very dense and the water was rough, so the vessel hugged the shore and went too far in before reach ing the dock.
 For a while it seemed as if the steamer was about to go aground, but by moving carefully along the shore it finally reached the dock in good con- dition. Among the passengers were a large number of students coming back from their vacations, and they feared that they would be unable to get to chapel this morning

 Last evening, the third of the chap- man campaign, had been counted on by the evangelists as the logical time to see the first fruits of their New Ha- ven labors, the first dependable enthu- siasm after the novelty and the curi- osity had worn off. But they were dis- appointed. A wet evening upset every thing. The churches in every district had generally a very meager atten. dance.
 One general change in the character of the meetings might be noted. Until last evening the number of women present at the meetings has been in predominance, save for the service for men only at Polls theater Sunday af- ternoon. Last evening however, the men composed by far the larger proportion of the congregations, what there were of them. Trousers wet at the ankle seemed not to interfere with the churchgoing for the pure joy of 1t, as much as did wet skirts.
 pr. J. Wilbur Chapman. the leader of the movement, preached in the Church of the Redeemer to about 200 people. His sermon was on the sub ject, An Old Fashioned Home" He was very earnest in his efforts. Sev- eral times he was down on h.s knees on the platform, illustrating some pa- thetic story or appealing to his audi ence. The sermon was replete with stories of personal character, allud- ing to experiences of touching nature in his own life.
 The first of these personal stories was of man whom Dr. Chapman said he brought to the church and to Christianity by question in refer ence to his mother. when nothing elsc seemed to move him.
