YOUNG COUPLE HELD

lsGirl and Young Man from Bridgeport
 Taken by Detectives.
 New Haven, Aug 6.-Domenico Fuc- ci, a young man who says he came from Bridgeport, and a nineteen-year- old girl named May Cowan, who also comes from that city, were arrested Aefe yesterday noon by Detectives lHealy and Co1well and are charged with lascivious carriage. It seems that the two came here from Bridge port and that they stayed in a place in Meadow street Wednesday night according to the police story. The girl was found on the street yesterday and the police, after questioning her, learned of the young man and after a search also arrested him. The girls parents were here last night and will probably make some arrangements in regard to the case when it comes up this morning.
 F'ucci was sentenced to 10 days in jail and fined $7 and costs. The girl was committed to the Florence Crit tenton Home.

THIRD DIVISION
 OFF FOR CRUISE
Will Embark on U. S. S. Machias at New Haven Tomorrow.

The third division of the Naval Militia, Connecticut National Guard, has received orders to embark on the U. s. S.. Machias at Heaton's wharf, New Haven, on August ', to take part in the manoeuvres off Boston, The third, which is composed of doughty Bridgeport seamen belonging to the naval reserves, will be unattached and vii, cruise along the coast looking for a favorable landing place in order to take the opposing army by surprise.
 Before taking part in the manoeuvres the third will proceed to PrCvincetown where target practice will be indulged ir At that port sixty rounds of am nutrition will be used at 2,300 yards together with twelve hundred rounds of six pound shells.
 The cruise will be unattached as the Machias will not join any fleet but will sail along the New England coast and if fog banks are not in the way will go as far as Nova Scotia. Com mander Frank $. Cornwall will be in command of the detail and Will Walk CT will command the third division of this city together with Second Lieu tenant Alfred Merritt. ranking officer of the division, and James S. Larkin third lieutenant of the division.
 The third division of naval reserves from this city has always shown that it's orgeniza tion is one of the best in the state and friends aud relatives of the boys who are going to the manoeuv,es are anxious that our crack naval O ganization shall maintain its reputati 5n.

WEALTHY MEN DEFEAT INCOME
 TAX AMENDMENT
Special from United Press.N

Washington, Aus. 6.-SenatorS who led in the contest to have Congress submit the income tax amendment to the constitution to the states, regret ted but were not greatly surprised, by legislature. The Empire State of the South has from the first been re- garded as dangerous ground. While the question of submitting the amend ment was pending in the Senate the argument was made repeatedly that possessors of great incomes might kill the proposed addition to the constitu- tion by causing states to withhold their approval
 In the lists made up by Senators of states where strong opposition might be expected, Georgia was always in cluded. The Georgia Senate by vote of AT to 2 yesterday decided to take no action on the amendment at the present session. The arguments were that the state might itself wish to levy an income tax and if it were as- sessed by the government it would only provide more money for Congress to waste. Members who favored the Democratic platform declarations III favor of an income tax made no inn pression on the legislators.
 The Alabama legislature approved the amendment early in the week by unanimous vote. The friends of the amendment are still hopeful that with in two years .he sixteenth amendment will have been added to the constitu- tion.

PERMISSION TO
 PARE SIDEW ALKS
 MAY BE GRANTED
Council Committee Will Probably Make
 Favorable Report on Petitions of
 Railroad to Widen Track Centers in
 Streets.

The aldermanic street committee will meet tomorrow afternoon for the purpose of considering the petitions of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad company to lay it's tracks on ten foot centers at several places about the city. The proposition in cludes the taking off of seven inches on each side of Fairfield avenue and of moving in the curb on the corner of State and Main street. There will be a public hearing before the com mon council Monday night upon the petitions. The committee proposes to have a report ready immediately af- ter the hearing.
 The report will probably be favorable to granting the petitions of the grail road company unless there is strong opposition by abutting property own CTS.
 For some time past the street com mittee has followed this plan of ac- tion, the signed report being in exist ence before a hearing has been held. Often the report is ready to be voted upon before a petition has been pre- scented for the legislat ation recommended in the petition.
 This procedure is sometimes adopted to expedite matters, but it has occas- toned more or less criticism by those who, having appeared before the com mittee have been shocked to find the committees action determined in ad- vance of the evidence.

CLOT AFFECTS MIND OF CURTIS
 AUTOS VICTIM
Wealthy Manufacturer May Live But Probably Cannot
 Regain Former Health.
PARALYSIS CAME SLOWLY

It was officially stated to-day tha! the mind of Roderick P Curtis, presi- dent and treasurer of the Curtis 6 Curtis Co.,, this city is not at all clear There is hope that he may live. but 1t is regarded as doubtful if he ever re- gains his health. MT. Curtis Is being carefully tended by his family physi- elan and trained nurses at his home on Pequot avenue, Southport. Said gentleman familiar with all the cir cumstances, to the representative or the Farmer, to-day:
 Some week ago, while returning from an automobile trip through east ern Massachusetts, with a party or friends, when near Westerly, R. l., his machine was run into by an automo- bile testing car from Providence. His car was overturned, and Prof. Shep- ard of Yale university, MT. F. w. Smith, patent attorney of this city and the chauffeur, were thrown out. At, the time it was thought that Prof. Shepard was the most seriously in- jured, while MT. Smith and the chauf- feur escaped with slight bruises. Feel ing the responsibility of the situation and owing to the excitement caused by the accident, 1t was sometime be- fore MT. Curtis began to realize the nature of his own injuries.
 ''1n a week or so his memory began to fail him, and he became drowsy and gave evidence of paralysis of the right side.
 His friends advised him to give up business and go to the Maine woods for a months rest This he did two weeks ago. He was accompanied by his wife and two sons, one of whom had just graduated from Yale. After arriving at ais destinat ton he took no interest in his surroundings and rapid ly grew worse, until Friday of last week, when his family physician was sent for. It was found advisable that he return at once to his home in Southport, where he now lies in a serious condition.
 '"This condition is caused by a blood clot on the brain, slowly formed as the result of his injury. It is felt by the physicians in attendance that the pressure upon the brain has not in creased for the past few days, and al though he is very i'll, no change is ex- pected for several days. He has suf- fered little pain, and he recognizes his friends, but his mind is not at all clear. While there are prospects of his ultimate recovery, 1t is doubtful if he ever regains his former health"
 Curtis & Curtis are manufa cturers of thread cutting machinery. MT. Cur tis is a wealthy man who has been in terested in many liberal movements He has been especially devoted to the work of the Society of the American Revolution of which he is a member.

BILTZ WILL SHOW
 PAVEMENT COSTS
He Denies that Contractors Can Do Good Work as Cheaply as City Does.

Director c. F. A. Biltz has prepared a. statement showing what it has cost the city to lay permanent pavement in Golden Hill street and elsewhere, which he will present to the Perma- Eent Pavement and Sewer Commission at its meeting this evening. The di- rector will endeavor in the statement to refute some of the representations made at the last session of the com mission which made it appear that the cost of pavement laid by him was nearly double the cost of similar pave ment when laid by private contrac- tors.
 The commission will receive bids from private contractors for the work mont brick purchased for South Main street. The director has been asked to submit an estimate. The director must figure on the basis of an eight hour day, while the private concerns can figure on a and 10 hour basis.
 It is a question if there will be many contractors who will wish to lay the tract to supply the cement, sand and stone for the job. The advertising for bids for labor alone is a departure from the practice of the city.
 Mayor Lee has contended that his chief reason in favoring the plan of the director would be more certain to lay good foundations for the pavement than private contractors would, whose sole object in taking the contra ct would be to make money. It is un- derstood that Director Biltz intends to tell the commission that private con- tractors bidding in competition can been putting in and make much money.

GERMAN LACE
 WORKERS SURE TO
 FOLLOW HENKEL co.

Members of the local German socie- ties are enthusiastic over the prospec- tive coming of the E. A. Henkel lace concern here, from Barmen, Germany Although the labor laws prevent the importation of labor from abroad it is more than likely that the location of such a concern will bring many Ger mans familiar with the work to this city When the Salts Textile Com pany located here several hundred English families also came.
 A prominent German, who knew the Henkel works, in Germany, said this morning that the size of the concern has been underestimated by the local press. While it has been stated that the concern employed 1000 hands this citizen says that it employs 2.5O0 hands andAis so busy that it is running its big plant night and day. The concern has been so long established. he said, that it has employed several genera tions of people from the same fam lilies.
 If anyone thinks" he continued, that there are not several young Germans who will jump at the chance to come to America when there is some chance of their getting work at their chosen vocation, they are greatly mistaken. They will come and seek work whether they get it or not"

Dive in Shallow
 Water Brings Death

Suffering since Saturday with his Jpine so badly injured that the lower St. Vincent's hospital last evening. No hope had been entertained for his re- covery. Last evening his mind be- gan to wander, and he lapsed into un- consciousness
 Murphy with two companions was rowing Saturday morning near Stee- plechase. Murphy, deceived by the clearness of the water, shouted Here goes the first dive.'' When he did not arise immediately to the surface his companions became alarmed. They rescued him with difficulty
 The deceased was a blacksmith by trade. He boarded at 1S4 Burroughs street. He is survived by a brother, Thomas H., and one sister, Mrs. Anna Duffy, of Shelton street.
