CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
Started Brisk and Clerks May Not
 Be Rushed Last Days.

The women folks were out Satur- day night in full force and as a re- suit business was brisk in al! the stores. This shows that they have taken the hint to make thei. pur- chases early in the season and thus avoid the crowding on Christmas eve. Such a course would be a great convenience to shoppers as well as to the storekeepers. Waterbury has grown to be d big place and people who do not realize this and defer buying what they want for C lrist- mas until day or so before the fos- tival are sure to experience lot of trouble in getting up to the counters, Some cannot do this, but many are in position to buy now as well as later and all such people should take time by the forelocl and do their shopping even though they may have to put things to one side until santa Claus comes to pass them around

And Three veu Were Fined s1o

The peculiar behavior of q Ply mouth Rock chicken got Martin Me Hale, Joseph Mclaughlin and John Miller, the latter a father of five children, into trouble with the law Saturday night. Officer Peter Myers heard a squawking noise on Division street at half-past 12 and hasten!ng in its direction soon overlook the above named. They had just turned the corner of North Vine and Divis- ion streets, where Albert E. CooIeJ lives and keeps two henneries. Mo Laughlin had hen under his arm and refused to tell the officer where he got it. When the officer proceed ed to put them under arrest Me- Laughlin let go the hen and 1t flew all over the street. However, the officer managed to get the three men into the police patrol and then he went after the chicken. He landed it after while and found that a bunch of feathers had been pulled off it's neck Yesterday morning De-  feathers about where Myers heard the squawk. Mclaughlin yesterday said he won the bird at a raftie down town, but afterwards said he got it from Miller. McHale said he knew nothing at all about it. All three accused live in the north end.
 In the city court to-day McLaugh- lin said his age is 20 years, and that he was merely carrying the chicken for Miller. He saw Miller pick it up behind a fence near the corner of Di- vision and North Vine streets. Mill Ter could not remember anything at all about the matter and McHale in- sisted he was innocent. All were un- der the influence of drink at the time. McLaughlin's mother and sister said he is a good young man and never before occasioned them any trouble. But Judge Cowell said it was trifling with the intelligence of the court to say that anyone picked up fully de- veloped. well bred Plymouth Rock behind a fence at 12 o'clock in the night. Any Plymouth Rock, he said would know enough to get a roOst somewhere.
 Attorneys Slavin and Kelley plead ed hard for the accused, but Cooley said the lock of his coop was broken and there was a chicken missing and the one produced in court was nD doubt his. Judge Cowell was great ly worked up over the case. Chick en stealing, he said, is not only a serious matter but mean Offense He imposed a fine of $10 and costs in. each case and refused to admit accused on probation.

Florence May Wilkinson. who has been In the Brooklyn Training school and Home for Young Girls, the past two weeks, has several relatives in this city including a brother, Archi- bald, Jr, who is a student in the sophomore class at Crosby hlgh school. The young girl who is only 13 years of age has had an eVentful career and unfortunate circumstances have placed her where she is. She has several relatives who would be glad to take her and give her good home and in all probability some or them will secure possession of her within a short time.
 Her parents, MT and Mrs Archi- bald Wilkinson, at one time lived In this city. About sixteen years ago they moved to Hoboken, N. J., and there the mother died few days ar ter Florence was born. Six months later Wilkinson sent the baby to Mrs Richard Wilcox and paid her board.

 Archibald has seen his sister only once during the past fifteen years and knows nothing about the wher- abouts of his father. When seen at the high school to-day he stated that he did not think that his sister really knew that she had a brother living He is 15 years of age and is appar- ently very bright chap.

 When the child was taken to the Brooklyn home by Richard WILCOX she was committed as "Florence Ap- hey" The Wilcoxes reside at Ninth avenue and Fifty-flrst street. Later when the Wilcoxes were interviewed they denied that the child ever lived there but finally admitted that she did. Mrs Wilcox also acknowledged that she beat the child but said she did so because the girl ran away from home occasionally.

 An order for distribution of the estate of the late Mrs Esther La throp, first wife of Edwin |. Lathrop, was allowed by Judge Lowe in the probate court to-day.

James w. Van Cleave, president of
the National Association of Manu-

statement today:
Several strange things connect
themselves with these hearings, am
told only about 100 out OF $50 thous-

received notice to appear before the
committee. In most cases the notice,
where they we're received, was too
short to allow them to present acreful-

of them have the privilege of submit
ting briefs at any time prior to Dec

calculated to call out answers favor

this seductive coaching one manufact-
urer, who has a duty of 80 per cent
on his product, and who acknowl-
edges that he is making big profit
on it, asks to have the duty increased
to 40 per cent and wants to have the
duty taken off the materials which
he uses in his. factory, thus giving
him a chance to swell his profits in
two directions.

Wagner Wins 4O2.MiIe Race
by So Seconds in
Last Lap
Made Distance at Average
Speed Of 65.5 Miles
an Hour

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 26.-The pow
er of six score horses, crashing and
roaring in the cylinders Of Fiat car,
sent plunging through the changing
fog and sunshine of 402 miles of lilac.
oiled roadway, by the experienced
hands of Louis Wagner, today won
the most spectacular, the longest and
fastest international auto race ever
held in this country.
Fate played a game of hide and
seek with the grim and grimey hood
ed figures that sat behind the big
steering wheels and throttles and
fought with skill and daring for an
advantage of seconds at the finish Of
more than six hours of riding for the
honor Of trophy cup and purse
of gold
"A: The three drivers clung together
from the very start. For time there
was a fourth figure in the leading
column but when a little more than
a minute separated the first from the
last of the cars, in which were the
whirling quartet, a caprice of for
tune sent one pitching from the road.
Out of the mass Of Wreckage, Fritz
Erl, who had been driving the German
Benz, number 19, was taken out with
a broken nose and broken jaw.
It was not until the last minute
of the last lap that the tide of victory
turned to Wagner. It was not until
the official time was announced that
the actual winner was known-that
Wagner had hurled himself to victory
by the slender margin of Sc seconds.
In winning this fire-grind prize race
of the International Auto Club of
America, Wagner set new record
for road racing in this country. Geo.
Robertson, in the Vanderbilt cup race
of 25S miles last month, set the mark
at 64.3 miles an hour. Today for the
longer distance Of 402 miles, Wagner
raised it to 65.5. He averaged %
minutes to each one of the sixteen
laps that measure 25.1s miles. His
fastest lap was made in 21.50 but the
lap honors of the day went to De-
Halma at the wheel of Fiat, number
18, who twice made the circuit in
ZIG, an average Of about 70 miles
an hour.
