SOUTHEY WENT
 BEYOND ORDERS
This Is Testimony of Chal- lenger, Murphy and Mon ahan, Members of Board of Education, in Architects Suit Against City

The suit of Architect Ernest C.. Southey against the City of Bridge port, to get payment for plans drawn for the remodelling of the Prospect Superior Court. before Judge Lucien F. Burpee, on Friday, was continued today. All of Southey's evidence in his own behalf has been completed This morning President William H. Marigold, Richard H. Murphy. Elmer Fl. IIavens, pr. E. H. Monahan, and Howard S. Chalneger. all members of the Board of Education, were called. Committee on Schools. stated that after the Collingswood. O.. fire, when a number of children were burned to death, the subject was brought up about fire escapes on the school build
 The Prospect street school was more than any school in need of bet ter facilities
 The Board decided to call upon Architect Southey to furnish plans the staircases in the building. He was asked to submit these plans to the board, who would ask for bids It was expected that the remodelling would not cost more than S15.000- Other than to draw plans for the fire escapes and the staircases. MT. Challenger stated that he had not given MT. Southey any instructions
 Mr. Murphy, anOrner memDer or the Committee on Schools. denied that Mir. Southey had called him up on the phone and that he has said You heard what the board wanted. Southey, go ahead"
 Attorney Pullman, counsel for Southey. questioned Dr. Monahan about the instructions given to South ey, but was Informed that no definite instructions had been given. He had talked with Southey. but had just simply told him to submit the mat ter to the board. The board did not take the matter out of Southey's hands. but sent a member of the committee with Architect Reardsley to the school. The bill Southey pre- sented to the city for his services was s1,250, while the bids on his plans would call for an expenditure of $52,- OO0

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.
MERCHANTS CRITICISE CITY
 COURT BRAND OF JUSTICE
They Object the Release of Two Professional Shop Tiff . CTS on Tiny Bonds Demand Appearance of Accused
 in Court and Trial.

There's a rumble in-the air. It is no uncertain sort of a rumble either. Instead it is a rumble that spells trouble in great big letters, unless all signs fail. In other words, the busi- ness men who cheerfully pay their taxes for police protection and the support of the city court are getting stirred up. They believe they are not getting a fair deal and are seeking some way of impressing upon the of- ficials supposed to enforce the laws the fact that it is time those laws were enforced in favor of honest peo- pie and not of criminals. They have even considered the wisdom of an appeal to the Bar association; that body which is supposed to really have some influence upon the men of law. But one thing is certain, they are not satisfied with the brand of jus
 It is all due to the trial of two shoplifters that took place, yesterday morning. before Judge Wilder. They were not two ordinary shoplifters- In the eyes of the business men they deserve to be ranked as almost pro- fessionals- They are mother and daughter, Mrs. Fannie Bugaslovski and Mrs. Bessie Katz, and they were caught with the goods Saturday night in the Rowland store by Detective Mccullough who is employed by the store for the special purpose of cap- turing just such undesirable visitors.
 They were placed under bonds of s1. 1000 each Saturday night. But that bond was speedily secured and they W ere released. In fact, the story goes that 1t was boastfully said at police headquarters that a bond of S5,000 could be raised for each if necessary. Yesterday morning they appeared for trial and the evidence left no doubt of their guilt. Their attorney beg ged the court to be lenient with them saying they did not steal from neces- sity. But Prosecutor Delaney stated to the court that there was no ground upon which leniency could be exer- cised. Both women had been arrest ed before for the same offence com mitted in the same store, and at that trial the younger woman had com mitted perjury by testifying that the older was her "dear friend'' when it was shown later 'Nat she actually was her mother. He declared that he had only failed to punish her for perjury because of her health and at that time both women were simply fined for their theft.
 Judge Wilder fined each of the two women and imposed a jail sentence of 15 days upon Mrs. Katz and of 30 days upon Mrs Bugaslovski. And immediately thereafter bonds were fixed for purposes of appeal at S1O0 for Mrs. Katz and s20O for her moth-

PRIZE WINNING
 CATTLE SHOWN
Real Blue Ribbon Winners
 Attract Much Attention

To really appreciate the fine points of the scientific feeding of beef cattle and to see the result of the work of the cattle raisers of the West in pro- ducing meat that is intended to please the lralates of those who enjoy roasts and steaks of the finest quality. Brid idgeporters should visit the markets of Charles M. Biltz. 97 State street. Rudolph Bauman's in South avenue. and Mark Nagel's market at Hamil- ton and East Main streets
 The prize winning steers which were killed in Chicago under the direction of the three local butchers are exhibit ed with the blue ribbons which they won at the tenth annual international Fat Stock Show at Chicago about ten days ago.
 The cattle were all yearlings and of the Galway breed In one year they were fatted up so that at the time they were killed they weighed between 200 and 1.400 pounds The meat is of a beautiful texture and the fat Is of the purest white. Very few two and three-year-old steers are larger the n these yearlings and the handsome dis play of beef Is attracting much atten- tion in all three of the markets. The quarters of the animals will be kept on show for two or three days yet and anyone who desires to see the prize winning stock is welcome to in spect It.

 Herbert E. Williams of westport, asked by the States Attorney if he had scruples against capital punish ment. replied: q cannot understand how two wrongs will make a. right.1 2 John H. Lee. of the firm of Lee Bros, was excused by the defense be- cause he had business relations with MT. Judson. the law firm of Garfield, Judson & Pullman being counsel for Lee Bros. +
 jority, being objected to by the de- fense. He was asked by Attorney Chamberlain if he had any business relations with the counsel for the other side. 'No." sepiied MT Wood. ssbut if had any law suit to look after. MT. Judson would be my man.
 Austin Wakeman of Westport was the last called. and was made the twelfth juror.
 The first witness was Medical Ex- aminer F. B. Downs of this city. who performed the autopsy. on the body of Demery. the day after the shooting. Dr. Downs stated that he first made an external examination of the dead man. He found him to be almost per- feet in figure, weighing about 1S0 pounds and being about feet 10 inches in height. There was a wound in the left side of the neck, extending back of the Adams apple. passing by thel osophagus and ending in the muscles. on the right side of the neck cutting off the artery. There were powder marks on the chin. and on the white collar. The bullet pierced the col lar. He had examined all the vital organs of the body and found them in perfect condition. The man died from the gunshot wound. hemorrhage and shock, there being no other cause. The D Stol must have been held within six feet of the victim. He based his opinion on the powder marks.

TAFT'S BIG DAY
 IN NEW HAVEN

New Haven. Dec 14.-Something of the old Roosevelt brand of strenu- osity hovered about the visit of Pres ldent Taft to New Haven today. A good days work was jammed into the II hours and 6 minutes of his stay in town, including a formal luncheon, a meeting of the Fellows of the Yale Corporation, a big recep- ton at Woolsey Hall, Yale, and a banquet of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce.
 The President, in the special car Colonial, reached New Haven at /1 o'clock He was hurried to a waiting Automobile and rushed to the home of I. M. Ullman. president of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce where he had luncheon Twenty policemen and a corporals guard of curiosity seekers were at the station to greet him. There was little enthusiasm as the Taft visits to New Haven have come to be taken as a matter or course to the college town. Not even n -Rah-rah" greeted Big BilPs" ad- vent

CT. Of course an appeal was taken. Equally of course, it is morally cer- tain that neither of the women will appear in the court of common pleas for trial To forfeit bond, when that bond is small, is far preferable to taking chances of term in jail And thus will end a case in which an example should have been made, ac- cording to the belief of men engaged in retail business.
 Said a Main street merchant to- day: This is the time of the year when, if ever, retail storekeepers need the aid of the police and the courts. Had the punishment inflicted upon these two women been followed up by the fixing of a heavy bond, two things would have been accomplished. In the first place, the presence of the two arrested shoplifters would have been secured at the next term of the court of common pleas In the sec ond place other women of criminal instincts would have been impressed by the punishment and discouraged from following their inclination to do the same thing by fear of the same punishment This would. have been would have been giving them the protection which they are justly en- titled to and would have been only dealing out simple justice to the first two persons caught shoplifting this season
 'rThere is only one way to stop shoplifting" continued the speaker. That one way is by the infliction of adequate penalties when women are caught in the crime. We spend our money in an endeavor to detect thieves. We spend our time in watch ing for them. And we have to be very careful for we believe it better to let guilty person escape. some- times, than to bring shame upon the head of an innocent person. Yet here is a case where the Rowland store caught two women with the goods" as the police say; women who had been caught before in the same store. And they apparently are going to he allowed to escape by forfeiting bon Is when their cases come up for final trial in the court of common pleas.
 '-Is there not some way in which these women can be compelled to stand trial7 Even if they forfeit bonds, can the prosecuting officials not insist upon their coming into court. Surely the. must be some method of forcing a criminal to stand trial for his crime. or is it true that the law favors the criminal every time and does not protect the person who has just cause for complaint Business men would like to know where they stand. They are entitled to know. And if there is any way of finding out I believe they ought to take that way and insist upon know ing"

The trial of Napoleon Bissonnettee for the killing of his brother-in-law, Rome P. Demery, was begun before Judge Ralph Wheeler in the Superior Court, this morning. Up to the noon recess only one witness had been call ed by the state, Medical Examiner F. B. Downs. The morning was taken up with the selection of jury. Thir- ty-nine talesmen were examined, be- fore twelve were selected.

 States Attorney Judson asked each against capital punishment, or had formed an opinion on the case Where they answered in the affirmative in either instance they were excused by the court Attorney Chamberlain for the defense asked each talesnan if he was opposed to self defense as a de- fense.
 Wilbur French stated that he was a constant reader of the Farmer, and had read the complete story Of the murder. He was excused as being too familiar with the case.
 Walter J. Hanford, a travelling salesman, residing in Stamford, had read of the case in the Farmer and had formed an opinion The court ex- cused Hanford.
 Allanson c. Dickinson of Stamford was the fourth man selected for the jury When asked by Attorney Cham berlain if he had any prejudice against self defense he told the story Of wrecked home.
