MEMBER OF MORASKI
 GANG PUNISHED
Was One of Crowd Who Gouged Out Koslow-
 skis Eve.

John Moraski. one of the Moraski gang which made life miserable for the Hungarian colony of the East and West Ends. was yesterday sentenced by Judge Walsh. in the Criminal Su- perior Court, to six months in jail. for assault and to pay fine of $25 and costs, for breach of the peace.
 A few weeks ago this gang set upon Joseph KosloWski, in the saloon of Anthony F'ennell. 1156 Railroad avenue, and besides beating him terribly, gouged his eye out. Adam Moraski, the leader of the gang, escaped, but John was caught. The gang made a habit of attending most of the Hun garian weddings and christenings and raising a rough house.
 Some of the members have been be- fore the City Court, but nothing could be proved against them. the evidence being insufficient. In the case in ques- tion the gang met Koslowski, in Fen nell's saloon. and when he refused to buy drinks for the young thugs they pitched upon him, rendering him a subject for the hospital.

WOMAN WEARS
 LIVE SQUIRREL
New Style in Collarettes Att tracts Attention of Main Street Shoppers.

While many women are seen upon the street with wraps and muffs made from skins of dead animals. there is one fashionably dressed woman who has created a great deal of talk and attracted much attention by passing through Main street with a live gray squirrel for a collarette.
 Yesterday afternoon. the woman, at tired in a long buckskin colored coat, passed Fairfield avenue. in Main street, with the little animal perched on her shoulder, nibbling 2 walnut.
 One woman who saw the animal cried. ''Oh that woman has a fur over coat for her chameleon!'
 A newsie. whose ancestry dates back to the Lombardy merchants. shouted, See the monkey with a bushy tail.''
 The owner of the animal did not seem to mind the sensation caused by her pet and proceeded on her way with as little concern as she would if the col lar was of ponySkin.

Sheriff Hawley Is
 Out for Foster and
 Prosecutor De Laney
(Continued From First Page.)

(Continued From First Page.)
 CT discovered that there was a move.
 ment on that meant more than the
 mere selection of candidates for the City court. I need hardly say that | found evidence that satisfied me thai there was a we'll directed movement | under way to form a combine thai certain persons would not be slow to i take advantage of to use to the det- riment of my friends. When I learn
 ed what was in the air I determined that it was up to me to get busy and I have done so.
 '"There need be no secret of my po-
 sition. I shall do all that can to
 secure the selection of Deputy Judge Foster of the City court. I have been informed by the leading lawyers of the city who have had relations with Prosecutor Delaney that he has made an able prosecuting attorney and these gentlemen say it is to the interest of the city that he be retained. Their say so is good enough for me.
 In the opinion of the sheriff, Judge Foster is the one best bet at this time.
 The City court fight has taken on a renewed interest in view of the fact that even United States Senator Bran degee is to take a hand in 1t if he has not already done so. Anything that Hawley wants that Brandegee can give, the sheriff is certain to get, and it goes without saying that even though a majority of the Judiciary committee is against the Foster prop osition, a minority report from that committee for Foster will have for midable strength with such men as Hawley and Brandegee enlisted in sup port of it.
 The Old Men are laughing up their sleeves. They say they knew all of the time that they could not be beaten and they feel that winning in con- test like the one now occupying the center of the stage is almost like talk ing pennies from orphan babies.
 In the meantime all eyes are riveted upon Representative F. A. Bartlett. He is a candidate for prosecuting at torney which is the place Delaney is slated for on the Foster program. He is a member of the Judiciary commit tee. He favors the slate headed by Elbert O. Hull with Robert H. Gould as deputy judge. The question that is agitating the Young Men is whether Bartlett will stand pat. If he does the fight will be merry one. If he should show any weakness however, then the Young fellows might as well pack up and quit

SCULLY HAS NOT
 RESIGNED OFFICE

Sheriff Sidney E. Hawley denied this afternoon the story that is freely cir culated in South Norwalk that Deputy John W. Scully has resigned his office. MT. Hawley said: "I have not heard anything of this kind from MT. Scully He would naturally consult me. It doesn't look as if there was much in the Story.''
 Scully Is secretary of the Hatters' Union of South Norwalk. Monday the South Norwalk hat manufacturers are going to try the open shop. The ru- nor in relation to Scully probably grows out of the idea that he may fear that there will be a situation in which, as a deputy, he may be called upon to act against his fellow union ists. Sheriff Hawley, however, has received no intimation from the Nor walk authorities that his help is likely to be needed or that disturbances are anticipated.

$2 buys $2.5O to $4 Tn shoes for women.

Great chance, indeed. High-cut shoes of stout calf skin that have been counted as best women's shoes of the winter. Shoes that are of the newest style. Shoes that are of best making. Shoes that are built so they will fit with comfort and combine service with appearance.
 Most of them were $3 and $3.50. Some were $2.5O- only a few. Some were $4 |-a fair quantity. But we want to sell every pair; what they were or what they cost US, doesn't enter into consid- eration. We simply want to get them out of the way right now.
 There are some regular cut shoes of kid and calf and patent leather, too. These are just as big with attrac- tiveness. Not so many folks can share in them, though. Women with little feet will profit most for they are in narrow widths and small sizes. They also are worth in money, $2.50 to $4.
 And slippers! Evening slippers, calfskin slippers, fancy slippers. White and pink and blue and red and gray and brown and (of course) black. Their story is the same. They've been $2.5O to $4. They are now $2.
 Two dollars has almost magic power 'mongst these shoes and slippers.

Now Said That Mayor
 Will Not Veto

The Mayor will not send any mes sage to the Common Council, Monday night, relative to the harbor line con- troversy. While it is hinted, in many sources that he will eventually veto the compromise harbor line, there are others who think he will allow the compromise line to become established without his signature, in view of the recent opinion secured by the Oyster Growers Association, to the effect that the city is not liable for damages for the establishment of the new line.

SAD TALES IN
 DIVORCE COURT
NOrwalk Postal Clerk Drives
 Wife From Home.

Maude Van Marter Hiss of Green wich, was granted a. divorce from Ed ward Raymond Arnes Hiss, in the Su- perior court yesterday afternoon, on the ground of desertion, but Judge Gager refused a. change of name unless the petition was brought to also change the names of the two minor children of the plaintiff. He did not think it would be right by the chil- dren to have their mother have a. diff ferent name.
 The plaintiff stated that in Septem- Der, 1905, she was living with her hus- band at Clifton Falls, Va, and that after returning from church he had complained of a headache and had laid down. That night he had occupied a separate room because of the head ache, and next morning he was miss ing.
 Dr. Carl c. Smith, brother of the plaintiff, testified that he had gone to Virginia and had learned that Hiss had committed acts in the office of the plant where he is employed which are usually characteristic of degenerates.
 Edna McAllister of Norwalk, was given decree on the ground of de- sertion. The plaintiff was informed by her husband that she would have to go back to her own home, and there was no other course for her to pur- sue. The plaintiff testified that her husband, who is a clerk in the Nor walk post office, became addicted to the habit of drinking five months after they were married. Attorney Taylor stated that the decree was not asked for on the ground of intemperance for fear that it might injure the defend ant in his position. The plaintiff has supported herself by working as bookkeeper since the separation over three years ago.
 Chauncey E Clark of Sound Beach, secured a, divorce from Louisa Switzer Clark. She left him in 1905. He tes- tified that he married her in Brook lyn and took her to Sound Beach. She said she could not stand the country as it was too dull for her, and one day when he was at work she returned to the glow of the electric lights and the buzz of the electric cars.
 Mrs. Cornelia V. Storms was given decree of divorce from Samuel Storms of this city. September 7, 1904, the defendant said he was going to Brooklyn. He has not been seen since. The plaintiff said her husband did not drink liquor. She was grant ed the custody of a minor child.
