LOCKED IN CHURCH.
Two Boys Who Were After Pigeons
 in Baptist Edifice.

Two youngsters went into the First Baptist church on Grand street this forenoon and started to look for pigeons in the belfry. Be- fore they came down James Stout. the janitor, left the place. locking the door after him and leaving word to the committee that he was going down to the shore for the rest of the week. When the boys found that they were caught tight and fast they yelled for help and some body telephoned to the police sta- tion. Captain Bannon, who was once boy. immediately set to work to have them liberated. He remem- bered that J. Fred Trott is a steady attendant at the Baptist church and possibly might have a key. He telephoned to Mir Trott, who sent somebody down to the building who set the captives free. The next time these two chaps go pigeon hunting in church towers they will bring somebody with them to act as door keeper.

CONCERNS VENEZUELA

Oyster Bay, N. r., June 24.-When Secretary Loeb went out to Sagamore Hill this morning to see the presi- dent he carried with him dispatches of great importance. Just what the nature of these dispatches was the secretary would not say. It is not improbable, however, that they relate to the delicate situation which has arisen in Venezuela over the with drawal of Jacob Sleeper the secretary of the American governments af- fairs in Venezuela during the ab- sence of United States Minister w. F. Russell, who is now in this country.
 Just what action, if any, was taken by President Roosevelt in the matter of the Venezuelan situation is not known here yet. It is believed, how ever, that the turn of affairs in the South American capital will not in- terfere with the presidents depart ure for New London, Conn, to witness the Harvard Yale boat races. It will be possible for the president to keep in close touch with the executive of fees here and with the departments in Washington by means of wireless telegraph. Thus he will not be out of reach for one moment during the trip to and from New London.

RANNEY'S BILL
Tree Trimmer Looking For $ll0 Which City Officials Say Is
 Not Due Him.

A. W. Ranney of New Haven, who makes business trimming trees, was in Waterbury yesterday and assigned an alleged claim against the city of $140 to A. l. Blaisdell, local hotel man. There will be trouble overtthis and if MT Blaisdell ever gets a cop-H per of it he will have it awarded to him in the courts. A bill of $960 has been approved for MT Ranney and,that is every dollar the city owes him. That is what the superintendent says and as he had charge of the work he ought and does know. At the outset MT Ranney claimed something in the neighborhood of '$1, 500, but MT Kill duff reported to the department of public works that $960 was all the city owed on that account and it was approved with that understanding. It is said that the contractor did all he asks to be paid for, but if so 1t appears that about one-third of the work was performed without an order from anybody in authority.

DOOR LOCKED NOW.
Some One Has Been Taking Things
 From Superior Court Room.

Some members of the jury panel in the superior court were surprised during recess at noon to-day to find themselves locked out of the court room, for usually the open door policy is maintained there. But that policy will no longer prevail and no one can get into the court room after business hours unless by breaking in. The cause of the change is that many things of late have been missing from the room. Two weeks ago some one walked of with Court Mes senger Platt's stick. The stick was his walking stick, but as it was never known to walk alone, MT Platt does not believe the occasion in question was an exception. Of course in view of what has gone before that was bad enough, but when a cut glass tumbler that cost $2.50, specially bought for and used by Clerk Marsh himself, disappeared last week, that was the limit. There were only two of this kind of glass; the other is used by the judge. The messenger did not kick when the spectators con- sumed about eight or ten gallons of a special brand of water every day that cost the court house something. But when some one walked of with his stick and then s2.50 cut glass tumbler, he concluded it was about time to put up the bars.
