BURGLARS DARING
Break Into Muhlfelder's Chapel Street Store by Rear
 Windows.
SC0UR BACK WORKROOM
Iron Bars Prevent Entrance to Front of BuiIding-Poiicc Are
 Busy.

The most daring burglary attempted in the recent crusade of the crooks which has swept over the city occur red early yesterday morning when two men broke into Muhlfelder's mil inery store on Chapel street.
 Entrance was gained through the rear of the store by the route the police have long believed would be used by burglars, that by the passage way between the public library and the Exchange building
 The, men went through the alley. which is never light. even in the day time. and smashed the panes of glass in the rear of Mnhlfelder's store. Climbing into the workroom at the rear of the store they thoroughly ex- plored it and then tried to get into the front part. Iron doors with heavy bars prevented a passage and with the little they had secured they made their way out through the back win dows, down the alley and out into the street
 The burglary was discovered yes terday morning and reported to the police. As a result of it a movement will probably be made by the tenants of the Chapel street stores to have a high board fence erected between the library and tho Exchange huiIdina. which will add not little to the beauty of the streets that face the green

Model License League Attacks Prohibition as Contrary to the Teachings of
 the Bible.
NOT TAUGHT BY CHRIST
Letter 10 Preachers Throughout the Country Declares That Belief in Prohibition Destroys
 Christianity.

Louisville, Ky, Feb 9-"Those if terested are taking the ground that the manufacture and distribution cf alcoholic beverages is wrong per SC. If this be true. then there is no ques tion that the Almighty was wrong in commenting the use of wine in speak ing to Ills chosen people, and Christ was wrong in making wine at the feast of Galilee, and He was wrong in selecting wine and bread to commem- crate His death"
 The foregoing is part of a letter sent to-day to preachers throughout the country by the National Model License league through it's president, T. M. Gilmore. The letter explains that the object of the league is to have uniform restrictive saloon license adopted by all the states where prohibition is not in force. The letter continues:
 Now, if those interested in the ef fort to establish prohibition prove to the satisfaction of the American people that Christ did that which was wrong. that Christ committed a sin and that Christ set a bad example 10 future generations, then we fear that they will have succeeded Gin so far as the American people are concerned) in de- stroying the very foundation of the Christian faith
 ThiS Is strange suggestion to come From men connected with the wskey business to those connected with the ministry, but we consider 1t a very ser ious phase of this question and one that deserves the earnest thought of every man connected with the church.
 "The prohibtory laws that are be- ing passed in this country merely pro hibit the purchase and use of alcoholic liquors; and all thinking men know that where a demand exists 1t will be supplied from some source, If the profit justities the risk in supplying it Wit ness the development of the mali order business and of the moonshine bust ness, and as shown by the figures of the internal revenue department. the per capita consumption of whiskey has not decreased with the spread of pro- hibition, while the per capita consump- tion of beer has largely increased.
 'If the anti-saloon league will agree to it, we will favor having an amend ment to all prohibitory laws proving a heavy penalty for the purchase of .l. IL.

 The passage of laws will not pre- vent the use of alcoholic beverages. that is a matter of education and of evolution"

SKATERS ENDANGERED
Springs in the Edgewood Park Lake
 Make the Ice Thin and Unsafe.

Several breaks in the ice at Edge wood park lake have put the skaters there in danger of a bad ducking, if not of drowning in the past week. One couple gracefully gliding over the ice went through Saturday night, but the pond was very shallow at the particu- lar point, and slight colds were the only results. Yesterday the police warned those who went out to the lake the water from the numerous springs, of which the lake is formed, made the ice very thin and there, was no skating.
 In the day time the danger is very apparent as the water bubbles up from the springs through the holes in the ice. At night in the shadows the skaters have to go very carefully. and it is possible that for the general safe ty the use of the pond may be forbid den to skaters.

HOLD NIGHT COURT
Judge Roraback to Copy the New York Idea of Night

 Tuesday Night.

Washington, D. C., may point to | President Roosevelt as the apostle of
 strenuosity: New York may feel just l ly proud of its novel institution of a i night court. but New Haven is not to 1 be left behind in the municipal race 1 for innovations and novelties, at least
 not if Judge Albert A. Roraback of the superior court bench can help 1t. Unless all signs fail, New Haven may 1 well expect to see its court building i lighted up on at least one of the even 1 ings this week. Inside Judge Rora- back, the strenuous, will be holding
 down the bench in the superior court room longer that union hours require. sanction or allow Not only that, but the judge Is planning to carry his in
 suitable enthusiasm for work a step
 further, and on Friday of snis week he
 will hold court all day long without any recess for lunch
 Both of these contemplated sessions
 arc practically unheard of In New Ha-

 Roraback finds he must get through with at once The night session will
 probably come on Tuesday evening. With it in progress, New Haven will
 he going New York one better. for the
 court which holds night sessions at
 present in Gotham is a police magls- trate's court. and the court New Ha-
 ven will boast will be the superior | court of the state.
 Sheriff Hut. who takes care of Judge Roraback's court. said last evening that in all his experience in
 New Haven courts he had never heard of night session in the superior court before. and he doubted if one had even been held Several others connected with the courts and in a | way know confirmed his beliefs.
 Judge Roraback will sit this morn
 ing at II o'clock. His session is an additional one of nine weeks. If starts on January [. He is sitting as A judge in equity. He will decide and
 announce this morning on what even ing this week he will hold the session.
 It Is expected that 1t will he Tuesday evening. however Al any rate tho case that will come up then will be that of Semole vs the Derby Ruhber company, in which Attorney Tuttle will appear for the plaintiff and Al
