ney Redden's name appears upon both Slates.
 The situation is canvassed by the best judges who say that Foster is not likely to get look in.
 Representative Bartlett is a member of the Judiciary committee before which the final battle will be fought, and it is very likely that Bartlett's wishes will prevail with the members of the committee.
 It is admitted that MT. Gould may not accept the nomination for deputy judge, as his friends have been urg- ing him for the judgeship, but should he not accept it is planned to name Attorney A. L. Delaney for the dep uty judgeship. by the young men.
 The "Old'' mems faction count upon the support of Senators Holzer and Manwaring and Representative Clark in support of Judge Foster, and the young men concede them to him, but they are confident that the Judiciary committee will recommend the ap- pointment of the Hull slate, and feel there is little danger of the report not being accepted and ratified.
 Added interest is given the situation from the fact that Hull for judge and Bartlett for deputy were dropped by the old men four years ago. They have waited their chance for four years and now feel that they can dic- tate terms to the men who dropped them.
 The liveliest fight however, is an- ticipated when the hearings are held upon these nominations. The friends of Judge Foster will fight to the last minute. Judge "A. B.yBeers, Secretary of State Rogers, and Mayor Lee are expected to take off their coats for the old mems slate, but all indications con- firm the belief that the young men will win out.
 One point in favor of the young men is that they have every reason to be- lieve that they will have the support and influence of Speaker Banks in their fight, and his influence is like Iy to go a long ways with the mem oers of the Judiciary committee. They feel very sore that. at the conference of the machine leaders held last week when the Foster slate was decided up-1 on they were entirely ignored. Now hey have the power and the votes and will put their men in charge of the city 1 ,ourt. It's a lively fight and will be l with interest.

IN THE CITY COURT

Charles Zimmerman, a well known mason of the East End called at head quarters last night and asked to be locked up. He said he had been drinking and did not care to go home. In the mean time his sister had made a complaint to Prosecuting Attorney Delaney concerning her brother. Judge Pullman continued the case until to- morrow under a bond of $15, to allow time for an investigation of the case.
 Charles Johnson who was discharged from the jail the day before was again taken in for drunkenness yesterday by Patrolman Cody. Johnson belongs in Stamford but every attempt to reach his home is baked by John Barley corn.
 Patrolman ONeill discovered Sarah Kelly crying in a doorway on John doubts in the officers mind as we'll as in those of bystanders whether the woman was drunk or crazy.
 She told a fearful story of her search for her son. This morning she was found guilty of drunkenness and was fined s5 and costs.
 Carrie La Croix, who finished a term of imprisonment at the jail a few lays ago was in court again this morning charged with drunkenness. Judge Pullman sent her back to jail for 30 days.
 Nicholas Keane was fined $5 and costs for an assault on Patrick How ard in which Howard received a blow on the mouth requiring several stitches to close. Howard testified that Keane had struck him without provo cation. Keane said Howard had threatened to lick him and he thought last night was as good a time as any to get the matter off his mind and he invited Howard out to make good his threat. The men went outside and got the worst of the first round.

AUSTRIA BLOCKING
 RUSSIAN PROPOSAL
Especial from United Press.

ConStantinople, Feb. 3.-Austria is accused by several of the foreign dip lonats here today of temporarily blocking Turkeys acceptance of the Russian proposal forFthe settlement of her indemnity dispute with Bulgaria after the Porte had announced it's in formal approval of the proposal which was to accept remission of $25, 900 600 of her war indemnity to Russia in lieu of cash payment of $6, 400 900 to Bull garia, the latter to pay Russia, which has begun a haggle of details.
 Austria is said to be behind the de- lay, fearing that the substitution of Turkey as a debtor to Russia in place of Bulgaria would give the Car the domination over Bulgaria which Aus tria herself covets.

(By Our Special Correspondent)
 Hartford, Feb. 3.-The fight between the two factions of the Republican party of Bridgeport, the "Old" men and the young men, over the divfs- ion of the patronage of the city court
 of Bridgeport has begun in Hartford
 and the war will be carried merrily on from now till the finish when the appointments have been decided by the General Assembly, @Both sides say they are confident but from present appear ances the Young men have the ad- vantage and will be found to be the winners when the dust of battle has cleared away and if so the ambition of Judge Carl Foster to succeed himself as Judge of the city court of Bridge port will be doomed to disappointment.
 The first gun in the battle was fired to-day when Senator Holzer of the 21st district, Bridgeport, introduced res- olution appointing Carl Foster Judge and the present assistant prosecutor Frank l.. Wilder. deputy judge, res- pectively of the city court of Bridge port for a term of two years from March 1, 1909. The resolution was given the usual reference to the com- ~Ao~~S will be made before that body.
 This is the so-called "Old'' mems slate and if successful will carry with it the following appointments: A. l.. Delaney, prosecuting attorney; w. A. Redden, assistant prosecuting attor- ney; George Burnes, clerk; and the of nce of assistant clerk left in doubt.
 But the chances are that Judge Fos- ter will not succeed in his ambition to succeed himself, for it should be re- memhered that the young men'' who are represented in Hartford by Sena- tor Arnold and Representative F. A. Bartlett. hold the whip hand in the present contest. Their slate as agreed upon contains the names of Elbert O. Hull for judge, Robert H. Gould for deputy judge, providing he will accept the place. This program carries with 1t the following appointments: Attor- ,,ey Frederic A. Bartlett for prosecut- ing attorney. Attorney w. A. Redden for assistant prosecuting attorney; At torney Albert J. Merritt for clerk. and Attorney J. A. Turner for assistant clerk. It will be noticed that Attor-

From Worcester. Mass. the largest
 no license town in the world, dele
 gation arrived this morning to investi-
 gate the auto chemical engine and the

 Co. in Springfield. It is composed of the city's joint committee on fire de-
 partment. Aldermen Walter L. Mellen

The inspection of the plant and of the auto chemical will take place this aft ernoon. The visit is for the purpose of purchasing an auto chemical engine in the near future.
 - several or the mGmOGrS or the QoIG- gation enjoyed a beverage at the bar of the Stratfield and said it was pleasure to have smile" in a re- spectacle drinking place. Commenting on the fact that Worcester had gone no license in the last campaign the members of the delegation said that it was a spite vote because out of 40 liquor licenses more than LOO were held by two brewers who would not allow anyone else to get license without fight.
 although Bridgeport is only about B. GOO less than Worcester in popula- tion the grand list of the Massachu- setts city is $40O, ,000, GOO on a two-third's valuation against Bridgeport's valua- ton of $77,O00.000 on a full valuation. Worcester is the only city in the coun- try having complete block map sys- tenn and it disburses about $3, 100000 an- nually against $1, 100000 in this city. While the tax here >is s15 60 a thousand on a full valuation it is only ST a thousand there on a two-thirds valua- tion. we make our manufacturers pay their taxes" said one of the alder men.
 Another fact learned from the Wor- cester city fathers was that the city owns it's own water and sells water to everyone at metered rates at a profit. It is now being planned to lower the price of water.

BOXING BOUT
 PERMITTED, BUT
 NO BIG BOXER
Union Club Pulls Off Sched- uled Events Without
 ''Philly" McGovern
Brooklyn Man Put on ill Place of New Yorker, to Great Dissatisfaction of Ticket Holders-McNally Fell Through Ropes and Hurt Shoulder.

The members of the Union Boating Club which planned to give a boxing
 tournament at their club rooms in Wal street last night were disturbed yester- day for sometime for fear that they would not be given a permit to hold the event.
 Mayor Lee announced in the after noon that he would not sanction the event and President Hill of the police board said the events would not be held unless the mayor signed the per- init.
 Manager Billy Hogan of the club took the matter up with the mayor and explained that he had been given to understand that he could conduct the bouts on a small scale in the rooms of the club.
 The mayor said that from of the ad- vance notices he had seen of the box ing matches he had come to the con- clusion thar it was going to be a big affair with out of town talent in the ring.
 Manager Hogan stated that the only out of town talent he had engaged was little Philly McGovern. brother of the former lightweight champion. The mayor informed the manager that in view of the fact that the tickets were out for the event. and that many of the members were expecting to attend he would give the permit providing that the New York boxer was with drawn. Hogan consented. and the boxing tournament took place last night.
 The bouts were pulled off last night at the Union Club. There was a good sized crowd and no police interference. There was a program of two prelimin- aries of four rounds each and main go of six rounds.
 There was disappointment galore when the principals in the main go were announced. Phil McGovern was not on hand. his place being taken by Jimmy Smith of South Brooklyn. Sm tn had it on Ted Fabrick of Southport by about 10 to 15 pounds.
 Both boys did great deal of stall- ing. but furnished some excitement at times. The bout went the limit. Tine first go was between Eddie Kelley of Stratford and ''Mutch' McNalfy of the East End. Both boys went at the game strongly until the third. when Kelley put McNally through the ropes, hurting his shoulder and calling the scrap. The second preliminary be- .ween Clarence McGahey of Stratford, md Kid Hines of this city went for wo rounds of good sparring. until it vas found that McGahey had sprained lis wrist.
