BIDS OPENED FOR $20O,OO0
 LOCAL HARBOR PROJECT
Philadelphia Concern Lowest Bidder and Will
 Land the Job.
Over 100000 Cubic Yards of Mud and Sand Be Re moved In Biggest of Bridgeport Harbor Schemes Work to Begin About April 1.

Bids were submitted to-day at the U. s. engineers office in New London for the largest dredging contract hav- ing to do with the local harbor for the past ten years. The lowest bidders and they will get the contract after the formalities have been complied with are the American Dredging Go. of Philadelphia. Maj. Harry Taylor told the Farmer to-day that he would not be able to announce the prices right away. It is estimated that the job will cost in the neighborhood of s2OO000.
 The contract is for 22 foot channel and basin. The basin is off Steeple- chase Island and east of the channel and covers an area of about 800 feet by 200 feet, and extends from the twelve foot basin, south.
 The channel is 300 feet wide and starts about a mile south of the Bridgeport light and comes in as far as the bug light. It is estimated that 1900, ,000 cubic yards of sand and mud are to be removed in the performance of the contract. The greater part of the material to be removed, however, is sand.

Report Upstate Is that Promotion Is to Be Made According to Seniority Judges Whose Terms Elk pire.
fsnecia1 from United Press. }


 Hartford, Jan. 23.-While Governor AAiley has the rest of the legislative session In which to make the two ap- pointments to the Supreme court bench and the consequent two to the Superior court bench which fall to him and it k not thought that he will make these appointments immediately, the subject holds foremost place in state councils. The retirement of Chief Jus ttce Baldwin does not come for some months and that of Robinson of the Superior court next year, but the va cancy must be filled while the General Assembly is in session.
 Governor Lilley has given no defin- tte indication of what his action in this matter will be, but he is believed to have settled on the plan of promotion according to seniority which would rive Judge Robinson the next Supreme court place and raise him to be suc- ceeAsd by Judge George W. Wheeler. THbe latter, Judge Ralph Wheeler, The latter, Judge Ralph Wheeler.

 Mobile, Ala. Jan. 23.-Douglas Rob- erson, the negro who on Thursday kill ed Deputy Sheriff Patch in a pistol fight. was taken from the jail by a mob early this morning and hanged to a tree.
 Mobile, Ala, Jan. 23.-In the very heart Of the city the dangling corpse of a negro greeted early rising citi- zens this morning, the work of a mob. The victim was Douglas Roberson, Who on Thursday shot and killed Dep uty Sheriff Philip Patch and wounded another officer. The mob was taking the negro to the scene of his crime but his cries it is thought, determined quick action and the lynching took place one block from the most prom inent residential section.
 At 1:15 this morning the mob ap- peared at the jail and taking the two deputies by force secured the keys and threatened the officers with death should they make any outcry. The negro managed to make an outcry and the mob produced the rope, strung 3 it over the limb of a tree and three pistol shots rang out as he was jerked into space.

NATE MILLER BELIEVED TO
 BE INSANE
He Is Recovering from Sui cidal Dose of Laudanum
 at Hospital.
His Father Is Convinced that He Is Mentally De- ranged and Seeks His Commitment to Insane Retreat.

An application was made this morn ing in the'probate court by Frank Mill Ter to have his son, Nathan G. Miller, the Insane at Middletown. Miller is now at the Bridgeport Hospital recov- ering from the effects of 8 dose of laudanum taken with suicidal intent early this morning. Yesterday morn ing Miller entered .Tuttle's drug store in Stratford. He was suffering from toothache and asked the clerk for some Iaudanum. He bought an ounce and using part of it placed the bottle in his pocket. He was rational but appeared to have suffered severely from an affected tooth. At 9:30 last night he again entered the drug store saying he was going to Bridgeport to take a Turkish bath. He later regis tered at the Atlantic hotel. At 2 o'clock this morning he rang for a boy and when Fred Thorn answered the bell Miller said: Here goes. I just called you to say good bye. just took laudanum." Patrolmen Ike Williams and Charles Wheeler were called and they administered mustard water and walked Miller up and down the halls of the hotel until the ambulance with Dr. Ives arrived. Miller was then taken to the Bridgeport hospital where the surgeons worked over him all night and this morning until noon when he was declared out of danger and al- lowed to so to sleep.
 It is believed he swallowed a full ounce of laudanum lacking only a small amount used on his tooth.

.CAPOzzI'S FINE AGGREGATES$l25
 WITH 45 DAYS
City Sheriff Charged With Breach of the Peace Pun ished Severely in the City Court.

City Sheriff Capozzi was severely punished for his escapade last Sun day night as the result of his trial in the city court this morning. Capoz- zi was charged with breach of the peace on four counts. Judge Pullman found Capozzi guilty on all four caunts and the fines and impris- onment imposed will aggregate SIPS and costs and 45 days in jail. In imposing sentence, Judge Pullman said that the fact that Capozzi was an officer of the law supposed to protect the community made his offense all the more reprehensible. He regret ted that he could only suggest that the Sheriff's shield should be taken from him. CapozZi's testimony differ ed materially from that of the wit nesses for the state. Patrolman Glennon. Grace Weldon, Margaret Cullen, Charles Broadbin and two trol- leymen testified to the actions of Ca pozzi; on the night in question. The comments of some of the witnesses as well as those of Judge Pullman car ried the inference that Capozzi was either drunk or crazy. Attorney Fallon made a strong plea for his client but he fought for a forlorn hope. Capozzi appealed and his bond was fixed at $500

 The contract will be let in two sec tions. If separate the contractor would be obliged to dredge 30,00O yards per month on the channel job and 40,- coo yards a month on the basin job. As both jobs are to be awarded to the same contractor he will be required to remove 60,000 yards per month.
 Major Taylor told the Farmer that he thought it would be about April 1st when the work would be started.

BOYS CLEYERLY BEAT PENNY=IN= SLOT MACHINES
Thousands of Slugs Worked
 Off By Boys Who Pick ThenlUp on the Dumps ;. Sixteen Hundred Found
 at the Railroad Station.

Penny-in-the-slot machines all over the city have yielded large returns in slugs and little hard cash recently. Patrolman James Farnum has been at work on the case for two weeks and this morning six boys ranging in age from 10 to 13 years were brought to headquarters charged with robbing the automatic delivery machines with slugs. The boys readily confessed. They were given a good lecture by Prosecuting Attorney Delaney and dischatge7. The boys all live in the west end They are Fred Vereb, 10; John Kor.ley, 10; Edward Longer, 13; John Myers, Il; Sander Latzko, II; Michael Kendrick II. It. is believed lower west end have also been work ing the game. The plan of the boys were ingenious. The slugs were pick ed up on the dump at the west end. They came originally from a manu- factory of electrical supplies. The slugs are about the size of a cent and have been punched from some kind of in- sulating material. When placed in one form of slot machine they will an- swer the same purpose as a genuine
 cent. Charles Jones, who has charge of the penny-in-the-slot ma chimes at the railroad station, has l. 600 of these slugs taken from the ma chimes there in the last few weeks. Other machines in different parts of the town have been filled up with them. The boys seemed to think that they had done something smart in beating the machines. They appear ed to have no idea that they had com mitted a crime. The Longer boy is believed to be the ring leader of the gang. The boys gave the names of all those whom they knew were impli- cated and they will be placed under surveillance.
