 While the school question is being so extensively discussed by our citi- zens, there is another subject of al- most as much importance to local residents and that is the need of an officer of the law, of which there is not a word said. Any resident of this community knows how sadly we are in need of an officer and ii the matter only stirred up as much enthusiasm as the school question we should have had policeman years ago. -.t:~ ',f

WILKINSON HAS A SINNER.
George Bone Lands on His Optic
 Hanna Sees Tracy,

Bristol, Aug 24.-President Ira cy put in considerable time Satur, day night and yesterday listening to grievances. Umpire Wilkinson call ed upon the president Saturday night and displayed sinner that Manager George Bone of the New Haven team gave him while riding on trolley car from Holyoke to Springfield after the game in Hol-l yoke on Saturday. The trouble be- gan at the game, when it is said that Bone elbowed the umpire and the latter threatened to whip the entire company of White Wings.
 President Tracy said that he would not take any action in the case until he had heard from Man ager Bone. He said he had received reports from several to the effect that Wilkinson was the aggressor in the trolley car muss and that he did not get struck in the eye until he had made pass at the New Ha- ven manager. It was said that Bone struck the umpire twice and then other members of the New Haven team interfered and it was through their intervention that the conduc- tor did not put Bone and Wilkinson off the car. President Tracy sad that he had jurisdiction over the men, whether they were fighting oh the diamond or on trolley car and that if he got evidence that Bone was at fault he would be disciplined but according to the majority of the hnard .r.frop, NEilliuco brought the trouble upon himself.
 Manager Hanna called upon Pres. ldent Tracy yesterday afternoon while the head of the league was going over the evidence in the Bone Wilkinson case and the latest at- tack upon an umpire did not make him feel like letting up on McCabc for the New Britain mans assault upon Rorty. Manager Hanna tried to induce the president to raise the suspension on McCabe so that he can get back into the game. Manag- CT Hanna expects to land in third place and the loss of McCabe is strongly felt at this time. A Na- tional league club is said to be will, ing to give up sI,000 for him. Man ager Hanna claimed that the as, sault was not as serious as had been reported and Rorty made d remark that angered him. President Tracy declined to relent yesterday but he may raise the suspension later.
 There has been a big kick from clubs that had substitute umpires while two regulars were working in one game and the officials have decided that when two umpires are wanted hereafter, one will be a sub, stitute. Malone and Lavton may work in the game at Springfield to- day. -.~- -.--# --.-

CUP WILL COME
 TO THIS CITY
Board of Managers Decided That Yuestion at the Meeting Held
 Yesterday.

The Waterbury Elks' baseball team is the champion of the Elk5 State league. That fact was defi' nitely settled yesterday at meeting held in the New Britain clubhouse Present at the meeting were the following managers, Keefe of Mid dletown, Steitz of Meriden, Hanna ,of. New Britain and Maloney of Wa terbury. Tom Tuckey, manager of Bristol, was sick and he sent over proxy. Manager Martin of New Britain was not present, but his place was taken by the organizer ot the league, Billy Hanna. Jack kel- liner of Hartford sent word by tele- phone that he was in favor of clos ing up the season, as Waterbur! could not be beaten out of the pen> nant and 1t would be only extra ex- pense for visiting teams to play ous the postponed games. Meriden and Middletown were of the same opin- ion. The Waterbury manager want ed his two postponed games, one with Bristol and one with New Brit ain played out, if those two cities felt that 1t should be played. He offered to play Bristol next Thurs day, or he would play the. pick oi both teams on either one of the Thursdays. The managers finally decided that it would be foolishness to continue the league any longer. as it would only mean heavy ex- pense to some of the teams and the decision was unanimous to award the cup to Waterbury.
 The cup has not yet been pur> chased, but will be at once from the proceeds of the games at a price stipulated by the league man. agers. The balance in the hands of General Treasurer Shannon of Hartford will be divided up equal ly between the six teams. While the league has not been a financial success it will be in better shape to begin the season next. year. It was really an experiment this sea- son and the managers have discov- cred many little things that they can improve upon and make the league next year warm one. The cup will be placed on exhibition as soon as it is received from the hands of the committee. The name of every player who participated in any game will be engraved on the outside.

CHARGED WITH
 sI73,00o THEFT
George ". Fitzgerald Ar-
 rested In Chicago.
GOVERNMENT LOST MONEY

States Treasury Held For Disappear
 snee Year and Half Ago of Huge
 Sum Under His charse-BilIs of
 Large Denominations.
 Chicago, Aug. 24.-George W. Fitz- gerald, former asserting teller in the Chicago subtreasury, who on Feb. 20, 1907, reported that he was short $113,- GOO, has been arrested charged with the theft of the money. The arrest was made on state warrant issued at the request of Herbert F. Young, a private detective acting for Subtreasurer Will liam Boldenweck. Fitzgerald was ar. rested at his home in Rogers Park. He emphatically denied the accusation.
 This is all a bluff, and I can explain every circumstance that looks suspi- cious," he said.
 He was lodged in jail, and Judge Chetlain, who issued the warrant, fixed bail at $l0O,O00, which was reduced to S50,O00.
 f"Caught Him at Last.'
 "They'S caught him at iast! Iney ve caught him at last.v' Detectives Young and Kinder declare to be the exclama- tions which came from the lips of Mrs. Fitzgerald as her husband was taken from ner.
 The arrest of Fitzgerald is the tardy climax to one of the most sensational robberies of the government ever sue cessfully carried out. The amount stol- en was in bills of large denomination. It was taken from the cage of the as- sorting teller in the subtreasury in the middle of the day, when scores of clerks were within sight of the large amount of money, upward of $1,000,- GOO, scattered about the desk of Fitz- gerald, who handled practically that amount of money daily.
