THE POLICE COURT.
Boys in, Court To-day for Theft of
 Shoes.

A case of summer shoes was set afioat on the waters of Little brook last Wednesday and so far no trace of it has been found. Little brook empties into Great brook on South Main street and the latter dis charges itself into the Naugatuck river in the vicinity of the shops Of the Benedict & Burnham Co. George Copella, Michael Taccinelli and Ger aid Wheeler, all under the age of 17 years, took day off that day. They first bought half a dozen buns and then they settled themselves some where in the rear of the premises of the Trott Baking Co on East Main street. It occurred to them fire would be a great thing and Wheeler being the youngest, was dispatched to find wood. He got box in the rear of the Curran Bros dry goods house and took it to where his friends were anXiously awaiting him. Something was rattling in the box and when Taccinelli opened it tot of summer shoes was disclosed. Tac- cinelli took one pair. then he nailed on the cover and set the box adTift on Little brook, which flowed near by. Copella said his age is 15 years and he is in the fifth grade at the Croft school. Taccinelli used to work at the clock shop and he slept under the yeranda of the house his folks occupy on French street. Judge Peasley continued the case of Copella to ? o'clock this afternoon to give the boys folks chance to say something for him, and he com mitted Taecinelli to the Brookside home for thirty days.
 But every inch of space is oceu- pied up there," the police said. .Oh. we'll" said the court, "let him occu- py a room under the veranda."
 John Baker and Joseph Payenr got into racket on South Main street last night and were charged with breach of the peace. Baker was let go and Payeur was fined s5 and costs.
 X hut back of the iron scrap yard of the Keeleys has been the head quarters of Frank Gavan, John Blade and Peter Mcdonald, q trio charged with vagrancy. They were each committed to jail for thirty days.
 Michael Kennedy was also charged with vagrancy. A vacant room near the Wayside Inn was his headluar- ters. Doorman Lynch gave Kennedy the worst recommendation for mercy that man ever got. Kennedy got sixty days.
 Edward Kelly and John Altman settled for $7 each on a charge of fighting on the street.

MORE SUITS COMING
For Scratches and Bruises Re. ceived in Building Collapse.

The ingratitude of republicans! Not satisfied with having been given a good time during the last city campaign, having the chairman or their party deal them out nice things in ice cream, giving them a place where they could hold forth all day and all night long too and appease their pinochle propensities, some or them now are going to sue tnelr party, for a few scratches they re- ceiyed at the collapse of the Ken neatly building on East Farm street. But that is the way with republicans all the way through. They are all patriotism on the surface until they are called upon to suffer little for their party's sake and then they make themselves scarce or if they do what was asked of them they send in a bill afterwards.
 Many of those republicans who at tended the rally that collapsed see in it now a chance to make few dollars, and while some of them are anxious to follow the example of Mrs William Lynehan whose husband, 1t might be said, was killed in the col lapse, others prefer to wait till they see the result, of the suit she has brought through Attorney John O'Neill against their own party themselves so to speak,
 It may be however, that the con- dition of the times has something to do with this step they propose to make. For it is said it has made a dent in their patriotism and partisan ship. ....

ABOUT TAX COLLECTION.
Commissioner Sends Circular Letter
 to First Selectmen.


 Hartford, March 24.--Tax Con- missioner William H. Corbin sent out circular letters to the first se- lectmen of all the towns of the state yesterday asking that they supply him with information concerning matters relating to taxation in their respective towns, particularly concerning the amount of uncol- lected taxes. He says that the re- ports should be given in by April 1, 1908, but positively before May 1. In the letter he says further:
 It seems to me that the first se- lectman is the proper person to fol- low up the collectors, as we'll as the other taxing officials, So that they will perform their duties in accord ance with the requirements of the statutes, and thus the burden will be distributed as evenly as possible upon the different property holders.
 Many towns are making complete collections of the poll and military taxes. In view of the fact that the town is obliged to pay a certain amount to the state on the latter, the failure to collect them is practically a double loss to the community.
 Inasmuch as the statutes provide for the abatement of this tax of each person who is unable to pay. the strict enforcement of the collec- tion is no hardship, and in fact Is absolutely just to the small prop erty owner who is required to pay it with his other tax.
 Many towns by town vote are limiting the time in which each col lector shall collect the taxes on the different lists and require a definite settlement on a certain date. In addition to being businesslike this is an assistance to the collector in that he has then a definite reason for insisting on payment. If the plan is not already in operation in your town it would certainly be ip the interest of an efficient admins tration of town affairs to have such a requirement adopted.
 A number of towns this past fall have had a revaluation of all the property by definite vote and have placed the grand list on a fair value basis as required by the statutes with a great reduction of the tax rate. This Is fairer to the eom- munity in attracting new residents and enterprises. and especially so to the small property owner in euualizing the taxing burden
 Satisfactory results from tax ation. in most towns. require more efficient assessors. uho will adhere more strictly to the statutory re- quirements. longer terms of office. and adequate compensation for the work performed
 I shall be glad to confer with y0u. or the eitirens of your town, relative to any Of these features. if you will give me the opportunity

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

William O'Connor of Bridgeport was visitor in this section yester- day.
 John Johnson and Robert Bat ters have not as yet received any trace of their lost dogs.
 Another meeting of the, Moral club was held last evening to trans act business which went over from Sunday.
 There was no business of im- portance transacted at the meeting of the Junior Amateur league last evening.
 Arrests for stealing coal from the freight yard continue to take place. This morning man and woman were brought in by a railroad detective for helping themselves to fuel from a car standing in the yard.
 If all the ball players that are expected to leave the amateur rank to enter the professional field this summer do so, some of the baseball managers will surely get goldbricked. John Kamack, who played third base for the Business men last summer says that he has an offer from Fall River, but is not likely to go unless he receives a little advance money. True he declares that it won't cost him anything for transportation as he is railroad employe but still he would like a few copecks, as he is of the opinion that he is not likely to make good. If all those players that I have heard are going really do go I see where there will be some tall walking along the railroad ties, " said John this morning.

Earle and his spiritual affinity" will
be legally married. 1t IS alleged that
the present Mrs. Earle will witness the
ceremony, and thus give another
shock to conventional morality.
Since coming to Paris, the artist,
his present wife and his futures pouse
have been seen much together and
have gone on many little trips to-
gether, each apparently treating the
other with the utmost consideration
and showing every evidence of affec-
tion in their conduct.
Parisians are immensely interested
in the Earle-Ruttner romance, but
there have been no such manifesto
tions Of hatred and disgust as were
vented upon. the artist in New York.
There is almost universal praise for
the novel. attitude of Mrs. Earle in
effacing herself in order to insure the
happiness of her husband, and there
is little blame for Earle or Miss Rutt-
ner.

The cork oak, from the bark Of
which corks are manufactured, is Of
Spanish origin and is the basis of an

20 years is required for the tree to

however, and yield an annual crop of
