KIDNAPPERSOF WHITLA BOY
Convicted and Sentenced 10 Prison iOI
Long Terms.

Those who have in mind the recent
kidnapping of Willie Whitla and the
arrest Of Boyle and his wife for
the offense, will be glad to hear of
their swift trial and condign pun
ishment.
James II. Boyle was sentenced to
life Imprisonment in the Western
penitentiary at Pittsburg. Mrs. Boyle
indicted as Ma" Doe, received a SEN
tence of twonty-five years, with, Il
fine of $1,000 and the costs of the
prosecution.
Boyle did not create the scene in
court he had threatened and did not
utter a word prior to his sentence.
His counsel, however, made a plea
for both Boyle and his wife, asking
for leniency in both cases
He stated that until a recent per-
iod the extreme penalty for kidnapping
in this State was ten years and in.Viev
Of the fact that the boy had been
treated with every consideration, and
that all care had bene taken not to
II flict unnecessary mental anguish
upon the parents. he felt leniency
might be asked for.
Both Boyle and his wife collapsed
completely upon hearing their senten'
ces pronounced. When they wera
started back to the jail from the
court room Boyle managed to walk
with assistance down the steps, but
upon reaching the front door he be-
came limp and unable to stand. &
He was lifted into the old-fash-
ioned omnibus, in which the prisoners
have been transported between the
courthouse and the Jail. When he
was placed upon the seat inside the
vehicle, he was left for moment
unsupported and fell nearly out of s.
before he was caught. He had tc
be carried to his cell.
Mrs. Boyle was in even worse Condi
tion She was unable TO walk dowr
the steps from the courthouse to tn,
street and was carried by the sher
If and Chief of Police down three
flights of stairs. She was lifteA
into the omnibus, and when the
Jail was reached she was again lifted
) out by the officers and carried II
iher cell where she wept violently.

FREE USE OF BEACH
 FOR PUBLIC BATHS

Aldermen Griffin. Mahoney and Wild CT last evening sitting as a special committee received an offer from An drew Radel to donate gratis to the city tho use of the sandy beach southeast of the trolley company's power plant for bathing purposes. MT. Rade1 IS willing that the city shall have con- trol of the beach for three years with out charge and if at any time it should care to buy the property it can do SO. The offer is being considered.
 The committee which appeared in favor of the city accepting the private ly owned beach instead of using that already owned by the city at the foot of Newfield avenue was composed of Rev. H. M. Sherman, retired. Frank Miller, president of the City National Bank, and Col. Tracy B. Warren. Be- cause Col. Warren and Rev. Sherman protested against the bathing last year some of the bathers who discovered stone walls outside of the street line took steps to have the walls ordered removed, and were successful.
 There are several hundred residents of the Twelfth district who desire that they have a right to bathe without go- ing to the Seaside Park boulevard sev- eral miles away. Rev. MT. Sherman told the committee that he did not want to prevent the people from bath ing, but as crowds of men, women, and children came to bathe at the foot of Newfield avenue he would favor the acceptance of MT. Radeps offer His neighbors agreed with him. The mat ter was referred to a special commit tee created last summer to look up the matter of a public bathing beach in the West End.

Judge Foster listened to another of those perplexing non-support cases this morning, which come up continually in the city court. Thomas Maty. of 123O Pembroke street. was charged with non-support. by his wife, who said that he did not give her enough money to keep her family of five children. The testimony of the father put different look on the case He said he earned an average of $7 per week at the Cart ridge shop, He retained some of this money because his wife ran up bills of s9 per week. when she had but $7 to pav with The case was placed in the hands of Probation Officer Garfield to be reported on in a month.
 The case of assault against l. H. Zimmer, in which he was accused of improper advances to Mrs. George Hanke, and which has been hanging fire for two weeks, was nolled at the request of the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Wilder. The prosecutor had only the unsupported evidence of the woman herself upon which to base a case.
 Louis Lusi was fined $1O and costs on charges of assault and breach of the peace. The assault took place Wednesday, night at Lusi's saloon Hal lett street. Michael Nargi complained that Lusi had assaulted him because he would not play cards for the drinks for the crowd. He also accused Mrs Lusi of scratching his face. Lusi ap- pealed under a bond of $50.

JUDGE FOSTER HAS
 FAITH IN SPANKING

Judge Foster had something to say concerning the parents duties when Arthur Corey, 13 years old, was before him charged with incorrigibility. Miss Coughlin. the boys teacher in the Rarnum school, told how the boy defied her and refused to obey. Miss Seeley, principal of the school has refused to receive him again. There seemed to be nothing against the boy. excepting his dislike for the rules of the school. The boys father is sick and the mother is not inclined to see anything very bad ill her son. Judge Foster said: "This seems to be a case for the father to take in hand ant administer a good sound thrashing. I don't want to send this boy to the reform school. I think the matter properly rests with the father and mother. A man ought to know how to take care of his family. I have not much sympathy for the teachers III this case. They ought to be able to take care of the pupils''

LEGAL QUESTIONS
 FOR HIGHEST COURT.
Decision in Police "Pay' Case Expected in
 February.

Judge Scott, in the Superior Court, has agreed with counsel to permit the case of James H. Sullivan vs. city of Bridgeport go directly to the Supreme Court of errors, upon reservation, for opinions upon three questions. The case is best known as the police pay ease. Officer Sullivan represents his brother patrolmen, having been select ed to be the plaintiff in the case.
 Davenport & Banks, counsel for the patrolmen, and City Attorney Cullinan have agreed upon the facts. 1t is now simply a matter of law whether the police commissioners can pay the policemen the increase which is pro- V1ded by the ordinance passed by the Common Council in 1907. The city claims that the policemen are not en- titled to their pay for three reasons. First because the Board of Apportion- lnent refused to make an appropria- tion to meet the increase and the char ter provides that no money shall be expended for any purpose unless ap- propriation has been made for the purpose.
 Secondly, because the charter pro- vides that no salaried officer, employe Or agent, of the city who holds office for a certain term shall have his pay increased during his term of office.
 Thirdly, because there is an amend rnent to the State Constitution which provides that the compensation of an officer shall not be increased while he is holding office.
 The attorneys for the patrolmen claim that it makes no difference whether the Board of Apportionment makes an appropriation, or does not, that the matter is entirely in the con- trol of the Common Council. Also that, inasmuch as the policemen is paid at the rate of so much a day, his compen- sation is not salary, within the mean ing of the charter; and further, that as he holds office during good behavior his tenure of office does not constitute "a certain term,'' within the meaning of the charter.
 The Supreme court, for the third ju- dicial district, convenes in New Ha- ven, Jan. 19, when the case will be heard. It is hoped that decision may be handed down in February, before the Board of Apportionment makes appropriations and lays taxes. It is desired to have the decision at that time, so that the board can be guided in making the police appropria- tion by the ruling of the Supreme Court

GOVERNOR LILLEY
 CONGRESSMAN TOO For Eight Weeks He'll Keep His Seat in House to Save
 Connecticut $3O,OOO.
A UNIQUE SITUATION.
Never Paralleled, Although D. B. Hill Had Somewhat
 Similar Case.

While Governor George L. Lilley, of Connecticut, was in New York last night visiting friends as a brief respite from his duties as Chief Executive, a storm was brewing in Washington which had him for It's objective point. The storm gathered when it was dis covered that the Governor insisted on retaining his seat as Congressman-at- Large.
 Economy is the reason for Governor Lilley continuing as Congressman-at- Large during the next eight weeks. IT he resigned a special election would be necessary tO elect member for ms un- expired term, and that would cost the State $30, 900.
 It is true that Governor Lilley in re- tainirg the two offices is liable at most any time during the session of Con- greSs to- be suddenly called from the Governors chair to Washington in or der to make Congressional quorum This possibility, however, does not III the least alarm him.
 COLLECTS TWO SALARIES.
 Governor Lilley is an economical man. He believes it would be more economical for the State to pay his salary for eight weeks than to pay that $3O,00O for a special election in 168 towns. He is willing therefore to let Connecticut worry along minus one representative in Washington until next March.
 Every representative in Washington was interested in the news of the Gov ernor's unique position. It seemed past belief that a man would insist upon holding a Federal and a State office at the same time and upon collecting the salary of both. But that is exactly what Governor Liiley has announced he would do, though he would not dis cuss it last night.
 The point that nettled the Governors former confreres in Washington, was that the law apparently provided no remedy.
 Former Governor Woodruff is said to be responsible "~" putting the idea in- to Lilleys m; When he proposed to resign as Congressman, Woodruff is quoted as having said:
 What's the use? It's only eight weeks before the new Congressman, Major John o. Tilson, will be sworn in. Keep the office till then.''
 All right" Lilley is said to have replied: T guess I will.''
 D. B. HILLS POSITION SIMILAR.
 David B. Hill is said at one time to have had a somewhat similar experi- ence when he was elected to the Sem ate, while holding the office of Cover nor. MT. Hill continued as Governor of the State, to the very great chagrin, Jones, who wanted the glory of being the States Chief Executive for brief time.
 But Governor Lilley has taken the oath of office, both as Congressman at-large and later as Governor, and so his case stands out as one of the most peculiar in the history of the country.

New Champion : disc graphophone IS ready.

The Columbia folks have made a high-grade graphophone to sell at new and lower price-twen- ty-fve dollars. It is the s'New Champion
 The tone-arm and reproducer are the soul of a graphophone. These are, in the ''New Cham pion" the patented ones that have won fame for mellow sweet and resonant reproduction. The 'New Champion has a noiseless dou- ble-spring motor in an oak cab inc and is fitted with handsome hower-decorated horn. It runs three records with one winding, plays any size ord,-but will you not come and see and hear it? That will be best.
 New double-disc records are ready. They are the biggest inn provement made yet in disc graphophones. Think! Two records in one, record with both sides of value, record that has just double the value of the old sort and that costs,in 10-inch size, but 65c!
 Indescrutible records for cylin-. der machines are unique. They can be abused as we'll as used. They don't break even when thrown on the floor. And their reproducing ability is marvellous, true, and sweet. They be, used on any cylinder machine and practically never will wear out. 35c.
