FOSTER PARENTS INFATUATED WITH
 MILDRED JUDD
Mrs. Clifford Judd Asks Po- lice to Help Her Get Her Child From Parties Who Have Boarded Her.

Mrs. Clifford Judd, who conducts a boarding house at 30S Fairfield avenue, has made complaint to Supt. Birming- ham that her child, Mildred, aged four years, is detained by Mrs. Lena Mun- ger at her home 210 Congress street with whom the child has been board ing for a year. Mrs. Judd placed the child in Mrs. Munger's charge while sine was waitress in a Cannon street restaurant about a year ago. Mrs. Judd says that she has made several attempts to get her child but the Nun gers refuse to give her up.
 The child is very attractive and the Mungers have become attached to her and desire to adopt her. This sum- Der Mrs. Judd obtained a divorce from her husband and maintained the child at Mrs. Munger's because she had no other place where she would be well taken care of. The Mungers have lavished their affection on the child and have treated her as well as if she had been their own offspring. Mrs. Judd has no cause for complaint as to the child's treatment but now that she is so situated that she can take care of her she wants her at her home.
 Mrs. Judd says has offered the Mun- gers the money due them for the childs board and that all the satisfac- ton she gets is a demand for security. Mrs. Judd has been advised to get a writ of habeas corpus but the expense deters her from this course.
 Mrs. Judd Is still employed as wait resss at the restaurant. Her state ment could not be obtained.

He Used Each Merchant He Traded With As Reference

One of the slickest "frenzied fin ance" sharpers who ever came to this burg hit here last Saturday morning and went several hundred dollars wis CT on Sunday morning following. Opening an account with the City Ma tional bank for $3,500 he used the pass book with the splendid sum entered upon it as a lever, for the acceptance of his checks in several local stores. He bought enough to stock small de- partment store under the name of My ron D. Bursel of the Myron-Bursel Co. dealers in mechanical novelties. But none of the goods were delivered.
 To Frank D. Bell of Meigs & Co.,, and Walter E.. Patchin of the Con- necticut Office Furniture & Supply Co.,, several other local merchants are in- debted to the fact that MT. Bursel'' found Bridgeport a fruitless field of operations.
 MT. Bell, who rents the offices in the Meigs Building, refused to lease Ia suite of offices to "Bursel' without references. He gave as reference the City National bank of this city and the Mercantile National bank of New ark At the local bank MT. Bell was informed that MT. "BurseP' had de- posted a check there but they knew nothing about him and were not hon. bring any checks issued by him until they had some returns from the New ark bank upon which the check was issued Mr. Bell then telephoned to Newark and was unable to get con- nection with any one at the bank.

RAN OUT IN RAIN
 HALF=CLOTHED
Barrows Thought He needed Treatment and Broke Into Dr. Smith House in Mid dle of the Night.

Reused by a crash of glass at his home, 459 Fairfield avenue. soon after midnight this morning. Dr. J. D. s. Smith s-'led his revolver and made several attempts to shoot a stranger who had forced an entrance into the house. The gun missed fira and this accounts for the fact that George Bar rows is now alive. Barrows lives at 37 High street. He is B years of age. Yesterday he visited Dr. Smiths office and asked for treatment. Dr. Smith noticed a mental disorder and pre- scribed for him. He was then taken to his home and went to bed In the night he conceived an idea that he must go to see the doctor and ran out of the house. half clothed and without shoes. He broke window in the front of Dr.. Smiths house and enter ed. Had the doctors revolver proved truSty BarrOws would undoubtedly been killed. After his attack on the window Barrows fell on the porch ex- hausted. Police headquarters was noti- fled and he was locked in a cell for the night after he had been examined by Dr. Ives and Sergt. Suckley. Barrows was irrational when brought in. He will be examined by physicians to-day who will determine his condition and recommend the remedy.

LEEDS SCHOOLBOY
 DESCRIBES SCHOOL Letter Written to a Sixth Grade Pupil at Walters

 burn High School.
Tells What He Studies and Describes Some of the Ad- vantages Which Pupils Enjoy = His Description of Leeds and It's Parks.

The Farmer today publishes the first of a series of letters written by pupils of the Cockburn High School of Leeds, England, in reply to letters sent from Miss Moynihan's Sixth Grade school of the Waltersville dis trict. This letter is largely devoted to telling what the school is like and something about the city of Leeds. Other letters in the series of eight will deal with different parts of the school work and will follow from day to day:
 Cockburn High School
 Leeds
 Nov 18th 1908. Dear Friend
 In answer to your interesting letter I wish to give you some account of my school life here in England, and a bit about the town which am liv- ing in. The school which I am now attending is called The Cockburn High School and is situated at the top of Burton Rd. Leeds. This school was named after MT. Cockburn who used to be the chairman of the Leeds School Board, but who is presently magistrate of this city.
 It is a very well built school being one of the largest in the city and cer- tainly one of the very best in the COuulIy lOT US fittings. mere are three floors two belonging to the Pre- paratory and Secondary departments together and one belonging to the Secondary department alone. My classroom is number CS9) on the sec ond floor.
 Adjoining the classroom is cloak room where every boy has to hang his cap on a separate peg of his own. Each peg is numbered so that that the boys can tell who possesses it. In the classroom are twenty-six desks which are used by fifty-two boys. Each desk is about three feet long and two feet high. On the top of the desk are two ink wells, one for each boy who sits in the desk and also there is a long groove which is used to rest pens and pencils in. Just be- low the top of it is a small shelf which is used to hold books that are used for lessons during the day.
 There is stock room where all the books and other things that are used for the lessons are kept Two sides of the room are taken up by small shelves. Here are the exercise books, such as Arithmetic books. Compost ton books. Pra ctical Arithmetic books, and Nature Study books. Anyone go- ing into the stock-room would see tins and glass vessels. In them are pre- served plants and flowers that have

HOW DID LILLEY STAND ON THE
 SPEAKERSHIP?
Malone's Friends Assert He Promised to Support
 the Bristol Judge.
of the New Speaker, However, Say There Must be a Mistake As Lilley Was Supposedly Not Taking Part While "Friendlv' to Banks.
Especial Cores. of the Farmer

1T
 Hartford, Jan. 6.-"The attitude of the Congregational ministers of Fair field county toward Judge E. s. Banks of Fairfield was more of a help than hindrance to the candidacy of the Judge for Speaker" said a we'll known Republican leader at the capital today Judge Banks may not have realized it." he continued, ''but the attacks made upon him by the ministers won him support in parts of the State where it was known that Banks in the last House was not very closely allied with legislation which the organized liquor interests were said to be seek ing"
 Judge Banks victory was foreshad- owed in these columns. One develop ment, however, that was unexpected by the Banks supporters was the open support of Judge Malone given by Judge Parker of Hartford, who was up to a week ago a candidate for Speaker. Up to late hour yesterday it was be- Heved that Parker would vote for Banks though it was known that there was considerable sentiment in Hart ford county for Malone. Close friends of Judge Banks made no secret of their
 
 the Malone followers, Parker would be found with the Fairfield man when the time came.
 It was even hoped that Parker might present Judge Banks name. Fred eric A. Bartlett of Bridgeport, who nominated Banks, was drafted at the eleventh hour for that duty because it was learned that Parker would not be able to make the nomination. MT. Bartlett spoke very we'll and his ad- dress though brief was eloquent and forceful, recounting as it did the Iegis- lative career of the new Speaker.
 When it is considered that Judge Banks was the choice of practically allI of the forces that make up the Repub- ican State machine, Judge Malone may be said to have made an excellent run. Judge Malone took his defeat grace fully, saying that he owed much to his loyal supporters. Asked for a state rr.ent as to how his defeat was brought about in view of his publicly express ed confidence of victory, he replied that there was development during the afternoon which resulted in Judge Banks receiving more than enough votes to elect him. He declined to say what this development was. | In nominating Malone, Representa- | tive Abner Hayes of Waterbury caus- l

$64 worth of goods at the store of Meigs & Co.,, and several hundred dol lars worth of goods at other stores he made the last stand of his game of bluff at the jewelry store of George W. Fairchild 6 Sons
 He went there first with MT. Patchin to look at fine mahogany table which MT. Fairchild had purchased and which he might like and buy a dupli- cate of if he liked it. While there he forgot all about the table very soon and thought he would like to purchase a diamond stud. MT. Patchin left him looking at a tray of stones which one of the members of the firm was show ing.
 MT. Patchin who had accepted Eur sePs'' check for $100 as part payment. had no idea of delivering the goods until he had seen the color of the real money, and he figured it out that the dapper young man with $3,500 in the bank had used his company to make him appear strong at the jewellers.

MRS. HARRISON
 MYSTERIOUSLY
 DISAPPEARS
General Alarm in One of the Strangest Gases Ever Re- corded.

New York, Jan.6-In response to a general alarm the police and detec- lives in Greater New York are today working on the mysterious disappear ance of Mrs. Elizabeth C. Burke Har- rison, wife of F. P. Harrison, president of the F. P. Harrison Electric 6 Man company.
 According to MT. Harrison, his wife disappeared apparently into thin air while he alighted from a street car and turned to help her down the steps. He had left her behind him in the car and when she did not follow him MT. Harrison re-entered the car to look for her. Not finding her there he returned to the street but could find no trace of Mrs. Harrison. He enlisted the services of a policeman and several bystanders none of whom had seen a woman answering Mrs. Harrison's de- scription and a general search was made but with no results
 Since her disappearance Saturday no trace of the woman has been found Mrsl Harrison was in good health and not lmelancholy.
