churches OF this city has discovered
"den' within the sacred precincts
Of the church edifice. Far up among

room, which had been fitted up with
tables, chairs. etc. and plentifully
supplied with cards, tobacco, books

had a private means Of entrance clev,

HE GOT OFF EASY-Genero Bel tran was before Justice Johnstone yes | terday on the charge of trying to pick the pocket of Constable M. A. Ivy. | This thing happened at the fair grounds last Monday. The officer felt somebody about his pocket and seeing Beltran at work asked him what he was looking for. The frankness of the re- ply amounted to a palliation of the crime. Beltran said he was looking for money This ingenious rejoinder may have something to do with the light
 ness of. the punishment imposed. thirty days in the county jail.
 AUTO PARTIES-A large number of automobile parties have been com ing into Phoenix from neighboring towns ever since the opening day of the fair. Others have had their cars ship ped in and still others had them driven over by the chauffeurs. Two Bucks belonging to w. H. Brophy of the Cop per Queen Mining company and l.. W.

Some of the vic tims of the recent horse thefts are of the opinion that the law is inadequate and they believe that a recurrence to the drastic and summary methods of the early days would be of good effect No fault is found with the officers for they have been very vigilant and in most cases have recovered the stolen property. Nor is any fault found with the court for the theives who have been captured have been punished but the thieves generally belong to a class that cares very little for d penitentiary sen tence. The victims therefore argue that a good hempen rope properly ad- justed would have a greater deterrent effect

Consolidation of School Districts
Principal Trrel of the Academy Makes Some Interesting
Statements-Suggests Districts Select Delegates to
Bring it About.

Principal Henry A. Tirrell of the
Norwich Free Academy writes The
Bulletin as follows regarding the
school district consolidation question:
Believing as / do, that consolidation
of school districts, would greatly inn
prove educational conditions in the
town of Norwich, I venture to submit
the following statement 10 the officials
and voters of our various districts.
Whatever may be the fate of the con-
solicitation bill now before our legisla-
ture, our five chartered districts, be-
ing Independent of legislative control,
can be consolidated only by mutual
consent.
The question of consolidation is pri-
marily an educational question, and
not a financial one. If the good of the
children of the town demands the
change, we, as public spirited citizens,
should bring about consolidation. even
if the schools of our districts are al
ready satisfactory to us. If we can
give to weaker districts the strength
Of our own, we shall be doing a pub
lie service. Of the educational advan-
tages to be secured through consol-
idation there seems to be no doubt.
1t is said, however that some of the
voters of our districts hesitate to
make the desired change because of
an unWillingness to pay more taxes
for school purposes. To show the de
STABILITY of consolidation from a
financial point of view, l submit the
following statement:
For the last ten years the town Of
Norwich has raised by tax, and ap-
portioned to school districts the fol-
lowing sums, in addition TO all money
derived from state, town deposit fund
