FISH POLE
 BURGLAR IS
 PUT TO TRIAL Four Years for Man Who Cut Off Nose of Another
 In Quarrel JAIL FOR HORSE THIEVES Insanity Commission for Farmer Who Tried to
 Kill Brother
JAIL FOR HORSE THIEVES

Edward Coleman, the colored man, who kept up his practices of fishing for money so long, that he was nabbed by the police, is being tried before a jury and Judge Edwin B. Gager in the Criminal Superior court this afternoon. Coleman is facing seven counts of burglary, to all of which he pleads not guilty, and is be- ing defended by Attorneys Hull and Smith. Coleman's favorite trick was to raise a window, insert g. fish pole, and with fish hook pull a pair of trousers from the knob of chair. He would leave the truosers on the premises, but walk off with the con- tents. Burglaries of this nature were reported to the police daily, they seming powerless to stop them. One evening Coleman was nabbed at Main street and North avenue by Officers Guilty and Poland. As he could not give a good account of himself, he was held. Articles missing from sev- eral of the burglarized homes, were found in his possession, while trunk of stolen goods were traced to New Haven.
 Judge Gager this morning appoint ed Drs F. B. Downs c. c. Godfrey of this city, and w. H. Donaldson of Fairfield as a commission to inquire into the sanity of Theodore A. Will son, a farmer residing in the Jen- nings' Woods district, Fairfield. Will son is before the court charged with assault with intent to kill his broth CT He is out on bonds.

DELANEY NOW FAVORITE FOR TOWN CHAIRMAN Republican Leaders Strug- gling With Split In
 Own Ranks REBELLION IN RANK AND FILE Robert H. Gould Talked of for Judge of Probate
 Nomination
REBELLION IN RANK AND FILE

Quietly Republican leaders, faced by a division in their own numbers, and the growing dislike of the rank and file of the Republican voters, are shaping their plans to keep control of the city in the next primaries. They attach much importance to the pos session of the town chairman and are bending every energy to see the suc- cessor to Matthew H. Rogers is one who will be thoroughly dependable.
 It begins to look as if Coroner Cliff ford B. Wilson will not be the choice for town chairman, not that he is un- satisfactory to the machine, but he is being groomed for the nomination for mayor, in 1911, and it is believed that his chances would be impaired by service as chairman, in which office there is more opportunity to make enemies among the workers, than to make friends.
 Alexander F. Delaney, city court prosecutor, seems now to be the fav- orite with the old guard as successor to Rogers.
 The Lake-Goodwin controversy is making a breach in this city scarcely less wide than it is causing in Hart ford. The quarrel is purely among the office holders and leaders, the Republican rank and file not regard ing either man as entitled to the Re- publican nomination, or likely to make a governor who will promote the common welfare after he is elect ed.
 Not the least of the difficulties with which the sorely beset machine will have to deal is the growing deter imitation in the ranks to get rid of machine domination altogether Many Republicans are determined to make such changes in the rules of the party as will cause the nominations to come directly from the party vot- CTS, instead of being made by a close corporation as now. It is no secret that the movement for direct nomina- ton has made great headway, es- pecially among Republicans of the East Side.
 One of the talked of things is the candidacy of Alderman Robert H. Gould for judge of probate. His fol- lowing is composed of the opposition to Judge Nobbs, which has been growing for some years.

ROOSEVELT TELLS GERMANS TO PREPARE FOR WAR AS THE

(By a Staff Correspondent of the
 United Press.)
 Berlin, May 12.-Before a distin- guished audience at the University of Berlin today, Colonel Roosevelt de- livered the third of his European lec- lures, on 'The World Movement. " The Kaiser, Crown Prince Wilhelm, Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg Foreign Minister Won Schoen, most of the other ministers and many from the ranks of German royalty, were in attendance, the audience being prob ably the most distinguished ever ad- dressed by a foreign lecturer.
 The address was a critical study of the growth and spread of civilization in Europe with particular reference to Germany's part in the movement It was not what could be called a popular lecture, being too analytical and furnishing the Colonel but few opportunities for his we'll known style of oratory.
 The greatest needs of civilization today, he declared, were the homely, everyday virtues, the power of or ganization and a high religious spirit ''as the things of the spirit are even more important than the things ot the body
 The speaker made another plea fol preparation for war as the best means of avoiding war, declaring Woe to the nation that does not make ready to hold it's own in time of need against all who would harm it''
 In conclusion he declared that ''this world movement of civilization which is now felt throbbing in every

Realizing that the event will bring thousands to the greatest array of royalty ever seen. it is only fitting, the fortunate ones say, for the charge to be commensurate.
 The cheapest seat on the reviewing stands will sell for s and from this they will run up to $50 and possibly S75.

Owners are selling roof space end in a number of cases the roofs are considered dangerous from their almost precipitate slopes. Just what position Special Envoy Roosevelt will have in the funeral procession has not been determined. It is assumed that he will be grouped with the represen- tatiyes of other countries not repre- sented by royalty, such as France and those whose rulers are not in attend ance, such as Russia and Turkey.
 All of the royal mourners at the fu- neral will, of course, be given prefer ence over Roosevelt. The etiquette of society not only demands this but most of these royalties are related to the dead King. either in blood or by mar riage, and for this reason will be first iE the procession.
