FOR "SASSING" COP YOUNG MEN
 ARE PUNISHED
McPhee, ,McGrath, Jones and Farrell Would Sing Though
 Crowd Assembled.
JAIL PROMISED M'GRATH

Just as midnight was being tolled and the saloon of Frank H. Pratt. 1S7 Fairfield avenue, was obeying the law by sending forth it's thirsty patrons, Officer Connery espied a. group of young men who were making their exit and singing at the same time. The officer told them to stop as a crowd was collecting and to move on. They moved up the street to Keenan's s livery stable. but when the officer in sisted that they go along they refused and one of them, James Farrell, was not at all particular in what he said to the officer.
 This morning four of the men were in court and all except Farrell gave fictitious names. The Wilson brothers turned out to be Louis McPhee and Harold McGrath, two young men about town. John Jones is a printer.
 Farrell, in his testimony, said that he was not one of the singers, as he couldn't sing if he wanted to, but ad- You're a nice kind of a cop to be on the force.'' Judge Foster fined him $10 and costs for using abusive language, and $5 for breach of peace.
 Farrell is employed as a barber in Billings barber shop on Fairfield ave- nue, and has before shown a tendency to disrespect the officers of the law.
 Jones was fined $5 and costs for breach of peace. McPhee was given offence, and McGrath had to pay $5 and costs, as he was arrested before for creating disturbance in the O. K. Lunch Room. Judge Foster told Me Grath that if he ever came before him again, jail sentence would be given.

NEW THEATRE
 SEEMS CERTAIN
Contractors Have Signed for Completion of Building by October 30.

Through an announcernent made this morning by w. O. Laughna. that all the contracts for the newvtheatre have already been awarded it is certain that the playhouse, "The Empire to be situated opposite Smiths theatre, will be open and ready for business by De- cember l. Mr. Laugf1na is the owner of the land and has leased it to. the firm of Spitz & Nathanson of Provi- dence.
 He said today: 'The contracts for the construction of the playhouse call for its completion by Oct 30. The contracts have been let to the scenery concerns and to the theatre furnishing companies. they to install their goods immediately upon the completion of the building proper. The Sperry En- gineering Company of New Haven will build the structure. It will be strict ly fireproof.'
 The definite announcement by MT Laughna that the theatre will be com pleted on time and will not have its construction extend indefinitely like the almost-Lyric theatre on upper Main street, will be a pleasant surprise to those who appreciate the benefits de- rived from having two theatres in the city producing 'legit" performances.
 Joseph A. O'Brien, designer of the Elks building and of several of the public buildings in the State, has exe- cuted the plans for the theatre.

She was sent to the Lake view Home, pending an investigation of her case and it was in the course of the search of her record that the the Charities department discovered that she can not remain ward of this city, and that Rev. MT. Bullock had put himself in a perilous position when he brought her here.
 Helen DUbyck has been in this coun- try but three years. She is a native of Hungary. After landing she went to Stratford and has worked as house maid in several homes in the town.

 This afternoon Mr. Brennan will have Rev. MT. Bullock take the woman sponsible to the amount the law spe- cifies. The minister could not be found this morning to give his view on the affair.

FIGHT FORFEIT

Jim Jeffries Deposits $5,OO0 to Bind Match With Jack
 Johnson.
DEMANDS $lO,OOO SIDE BET
(special from United Press)

Especial from United PresS.)
 New York, July 2S.-James J. Jeff heavyweight of the world', this after noon posted with the sporting editor of the New York Evening World five s1,000 bills to act as a portion of the forfeit he posts to bind his fight with Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship of the world.
 With this forfeit of $5,0OO Jeffries to- day gave out seven conditions under which he will fight Johnson They are:
 That Jeffries will defend his title as heavyweight champion. 2-That they are to fight before the club offer ing the largest purse. 3-That the tThat when articles are signed he will post another $5,000. 5-That Johnson must post a similar sum, S1O,- GOO in all, and this sum, when posted, shall act as a, side bet, the entire sum to be taken by the winner of the fight. be turned over to some reputa ble stakeholder preferably John P. Clark of San Francisco That Sam Der ger. Jeffries' side partner, is to re- main in America to receive bids from fight clubs offering the largest sums for the battle.
 Jeffries declares he is in splendid condition and that he is now ready to defend his title. He will sail on Au- gust to take a three weeks 'cure' at Carlsbad. after which he will re- turn to America to train for the fight with the black fighter.

DELBRIDGE CHOSEN
 TO 4 YEARS JOB
John F. Bowling, Choice of Democrats for Assessor Clerkship, Beaten by
 Mayors Vote.
HUGHES FOR PRESIDENT

A surprise was sprung at the meet ing of the Board of Assessors this morning when Loren Delbridge, sup posed to have been the unanimous choice of the board, met with opposi- tion and it was necessary to call in Mayor Lee to break the tie for clerk ship. MT. Delbridge won out and will be the clerk of the assessors for the next four years at a salary of $1, 800.
 Ballots were cast in the election and, to the surprise of the Republican mem bers of the board, there were two bal lots from the Democratic members for John F. Bowling. There was a dead lock- Mayor Lee was called and he decided in favor of Delbridge.
 The candidate the Democrats put up for such a good. position as that of clerk has been connected with the en- gineering office of Scofield & Ford. He left that place some time ago and went into title searching work in the office of the late James Thompson.
 MT. De1bridge is well known through out the city. He is connected with several fraternal organizations, is a vocalist of ability and has been for three years clerk of the board,' during which timeA he has mastered the work and devised a system which is said to save the city hundreds of dollars a year in salaries. With the increase of the grand list of the city the duties of the office have been greatly in- creased.
 It is expected that the assessors will elect officers early next month. Frank J. Hughes is the choice for president and William G. Walsh for secretary.

Clubs Cook Beats
 Aged Edward Gelson
Is Such a Good Cook that University Clubs Stew ard, Deacon Farrar, Fur niSheS Bail.

As the result of a feud in a colored family named Brown and residing at S5 Lexington avenue, Edward Gelson, aged 65 years and white, was badly beaten up by James Brown, a cook at the University Club. The affair took place late last evening. The ambu- lance and patrol were summoned. Brown took the latter, Gelson the for mer. In the City court this morning Brown was held until July 31 that the prosecutor might get additional evil dence. Browns bond was put at $500. He is an exceedingly good cook and lest he be lost to the University Club the steward, Deacon Ross H. Farrar, went his bond.
 The fight originated in the Browns airing their family troubles in Gel sons house, where one of the Brown women is employed Gelson came in to put the whole bunch out and inad- vertently made a remark which in- censed Brown. He immediately start ed to hang his fists on Gelson's face necessitating the sending of Gelson to St. yincent's hospital.

Especial to Farmer.)

Bedding, July 2S.-The lawyer rep resenting John B. Stanchfe1d's firm who a week ago last Saturday, induced Mrs. Ralph W. Ashcroft to re-convey to Mark Twain her cottage property near his mansion, called at the cot ,tage again last Wednesday. Mrs. Ly- on, mother of Mrs. Ashcroft, answered the bell. The lawyer produced a doc unnent and said he had come for the purpose of securing to it Mrs. Ash croft's signature. Mrs. Lyon replied that she must refuse to admit him, as owing partly to his peremptory talk and behavior at the previous inter, view, her daughter was not well enough to transact business. "You then caused her" continued Mrs. Ly- on, ''to sign paper of which she knew nothing beyond what you said"
 The other rather resented this icpu- tation. 'If she did not,'' he retorted, you did, This assertion Mrs. Lyon promptly contradicted. Just then Mrs. Ashcroft, who was within hearing of the conversation, could control her feelings no longer, and gave way to fit of weeping. The lawyer did not further insist on an interview. but has, tily withdrew without explaining the character of the document he had brought. The supposition is that it was formal agreement on the part of Mark Twain to discontinue the suits under which attachments had been placed on the cottage property and on Mrs. Ashcroft's house in Farming tcE-
 Mr. Ashcroft expected to land in New York today and his wife and her mother went down to meet him.
 One of the reports locally circulated about Mark Twain's former secretar- ies has not heretofore found it's way ir to print. It was to the effect that during the period when they possessed his confidence and favor they per suaded him to change his will by codicil which virtually disinherited his two daughters and substituted the then secretaries as the principal legatees. To a friend who questioned her re- garding this story, Mrs. Ashcroft de- nounced it as an absolute falsehood, ard said the only way of accounting for its invention was the fact that at a comparatively recent date there was added To the viii a provision naming herself and her husband, among oth- CTS, as the authors literary execu- .ors This action was in line with Mark Twain'E other action by which they were made incorporators and of- fiers of the corporation created by him last winter, for the purpose of en- deavoring to prolong the copyright life of his published works. He has been a persistent champion for years of the movement designed to benefit all
