PRICE IS INDIGNANT
Because His Son Was Ordered
 10 Move on By Officer.

William R. Price, father of Fred erick Price, who was arrested Satur- day evening for lettering near Dex- ter's drug store, is much indignant over the treatment which he says was accorded his son. The younger Price put up a bond of $5 Saturday evening to appear in court this morning, but as he was not on hand his bond was called. Later father and son appeared at the station and the latter stated Ihat he did not un- derstand that he had to be present in court this morning. The father claims Officer Tehan did not give his boy chance to move along and from all appearances intends to fight the case, and will in ali probability prefer charges against the officer. Young Price is student at the high school. According to Tehan, Price with number of other boys was standing on the corner when ordered to move. All did so but the boy and two of his companions.
 Well, are you going to mover" said the officer to Price. T am con- sidering where I'll go," replied the boy. Well, you better come with me-" said the bluecoat, as he started him towards the station. The boys father thinks it d shame that his son was put through part of the Bertillon system.

OPPOSE DONOHUE
Auoiher May Re Chosen Head of
 State Federation.

Hartford, Jan 1S.-There are in- dieations of revolt against the domination of Charles J. Donohue of Derby, president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor and candidate for ongressman-at-larg on the dem- ocratic ticket in 1906. It is said by those in position to speak that union labor in Hartford and other parts of the state feels aggrieved at various actions of MT Donohue, and is espe- cially disgruntled over his lack Of success with certain pet measures before the recent legislature.
 While the revolt has been taking form for some time, it would seem probable that a determined attempt is to be made to bring the presidency of the state federation to Hartford at the coming session at Bridgeport. The state convention will meet there soon, and it was said yesterday that the Central Laoor union of this city had practically decided to take steps to shift the leadership to a Hartford man.
 The matter was well aired at the meeting of the Bartenders' union yesterday afternoon, and delegate from the Cigarmakers' union was present to assure the meeting of the cooperation of that union. The same feeling IS said to exist in other unions, and it was said yesterday that the support of Fairfield county was counted on, as well as strong representation from the northern part of the state.

GOING AFTER ALLEN
Attorney Kellogg Issued Neces-
 Sary Papers To-Day.

Though William Dunn and Georg, Allen, who are supposed to have been the burglars who broke into a safe of the Goodyear Rubber Shoe Co in Naugatuck and took $700 had over a months start on the police they were easily caught after all. Dunn was arrested here two weeks ago and AL len was caught in Philadelphia Sat urday. To-day States Attorney John r. Kellogg prepared extradition pa- pers for Aliens conveyance to this city and when they have been signed by Governor Rollin $. Woodruff an omcer from Naugatuck will be dis patched with them to bring the al- legged culprit home.
 It is believed that all the money taken from the safe has gone the way such money generally goes. Dunn could give no account of it at all events and he insists he is innocent of the accusation. The necessary in- formation on which the eXtradition papers are based was furnished by William T. Rodenbach, treasurer of the Rubber company.
