Bradbury cruller manufac- tury Mir Huwiler claims that the aroma arising from the crullers and the noise and smoke from the factory which operates all night, damages his property by making it impossible for him to rent it.
 He seeks an injunction restraining the Bradbury Company from making the alleged noise and smoke. The hearing is due to come up on Tuesday November %. MT. Huwiler is repre- scented by Attorney H. E. Shannon, and

what do you hear about the Organi- zation of the Senate?''
 The reply was that the reports put him in the front rank as the probable president pro-tem, and then that un- der the new rule he would have the appointment of committees and the consequent organization of the Senate in his own hands.
 Well" said Senator Judson. that is an important position to be placed in, but my personal preference is, that I should be Senate chairman of the Judiciary committee. You see. there are only three Republican lawyers in the Senate, Marsden of Madison, Bartlett of Bridgeport, and myself. You see the importance of having Re- publican lawyer-SenatorS in that Ju- dietary committee.
 ''One potent reason why I should like to be chairman of the Judiciary committee is. that I am convinced in my own mind that I could facilitate the business so that we would get through in three months instead of seven or eight months as at present. There is no reason why we should not. There are only three or four really important measures. so far az I can see, to come before the next Gen. eral Assembly, and these can be dis posed of in comparatively quick time; there must be a public utilities com mission bill. the abolishment of the s5,000 death limit in case of accident, the fellow servant act, which is really the most important of all. It is a very difficult question to approach. But all these have been discussed in your pa per among others and the General As- sembly should not have much. trouble in disposing of them quickly. The other minor matters should not take much time. A shorter session is most desirable and I think if were chair man of the Judiciary committee might contribute to bring that about. think" concluded the Senator as the train rolled into New Haven, that we shall have an interesting session. Jerry Donovan will be there and you may depend upon it that there will be something doing Also, cannot overlook the fact that I am elected by Republicans and Democrats, which probably gives me the right to enter into Republican and Democratic cau- cuses.
 '"I want this understood" said the Senator, that I am for Morgan G. Bulkeley for Senator and expect to vote for him."

RATE INCREASE COMPELS
 AGED PYTHIANS TO GET
 OUT IF ENDOWMENT RANK
Adopheus Srn Announces That Legal Fight You'd Result in
 Sending "Good Money After Ead'

Eighty of the old time members in this city of the Endowment Rank. the insurance end of the Knights of Pythias, consider themselves "stung" by the management of the rank and are of the opinion that they will nev- CT be able to realize upon their in- surarce policies. upon which they have paid thousands of dollars. By living long time they have failed to win. The majority are unable to buy new insurance unless they pay exorbitant rates.
 The old time members have had standing committee, to see if legal action might be taken that would bring back some of the money paid into the organization. The commit tee IS composed of Adolpheus Stirn, Jacob Huber and A. J. Northey.
 Chairman Stirn said, this morning TO spend to fight would be sending good money after bad money There is about S615,000 in the treasury of the rank and about S0,000 mem bers. If the organization went into bank g piece. It Is not so long ago that they told us they had $1,25O,O00 in the treasury. It is case of bad management. They were paying an actuary $5,000 year and an organizer
 
 the organization until about 1901, when the insurance commissioners found the rank about half million in hole instead of being so much to the good. This was due to in vestments in Texas lands and backing poor hotel. They found among other things that the president of the board of control had not been under bonds for three years.
 ''The Endowment rank then ap- pealed to the fraternaI side of the order to stand by it. It was stated that if the nates were doubled every thing would right itself. Every issue of the official newspaper since then has tried to show that things Were bettering. The actuary then put all of the old members who had been the backbone of the organization in- to what is known as the fifth class. Rates went up. It was simply a game of freeze out for the old mem- bers."
 MT. Stirn showed a notice relative to his S3,0O0 policy, declaring that his monthly payment will be increas- ed from $6.30. with assessments. to S25.95 with assessments. If he wants to keep paying the original monthly payment the amount of his policy will be $726 at his death. If he does not like this plan he can pay S17.5o per month, sS.40 per month will be charged against +bsApctcy.
 'I have already paid 1,5OF on iny policy" said MT. Stirn. "A New York member has brought suit against the company and is going to try to have a receiver appointed. Our local com

IMMIGRANT GIRL . ROBBED BY MAN
 SHE HAD TRUSTED
Lured Into Side Street By Chance Acquaintance,
 Then Deserted
Stranger Had Volunteered to Help Her, Then Snatch ed Her Purse

The robbery of an unsuspecting i'm. migrant girl, only 20, who came here to visit relatives, was reported las, night to the police. so long after the robbery which occurred in Middle street near Wall street, that the cul- brit had made good his escape. Tak- ing advantage of the unsuspecting immigrants innocence, the culprit succeeded in turing her into a side street. snatching her purse from her and losing himself in the mazes of streets unfamiliar to the victim Practically no clue to the identity of the culprit has been given to the police beyond a very meagre descrip- tion of the man and the fact that he speaks Lithuanian fluently.
 The victim is Bertha Dockmaier, 40 Main street. Deszczer is custom, tailor. with a large clientele among the Lithuanian residents of this city. The girl was on her way to visit her sister for the first time s nee her arrival in America when she was vic- timized.
 The girls story, told to the police through David Schneider, a grocer at Bank and Water streets, who was able to interpret the girls tale to the officers, led to a search for the man. but 1t was half an hour after the crime occurred that she made her trouble known to the officers.
 Bertha emigrated to America about four months ago, and through an ployment in Greenwich. She had saw ed s20 by dint of frugal living. and af- ter several letters back and forth de- cided to bring her savings to Bridge port and secure work in a factory in preference to the less remunerative domestic work she had been pursu- ing jn Greenwich.
 she was accosted by a we'll clad young man who spoke fluently in Lithuan- ian He asked where she was going. and she gladly confided to him her fears that she would have difficulty in finding her way about in Bridge ~ort. He said he too was bound for this city and would gladly show her = her sisters home, the location of which he said he knew very we'll.
 On reaching this city, the stranger escorted the girl down Water street, --- Wall street and into Middle street. When they reached place where there was no one in sight. the man snatched the purse and fled, leaving her too bewiIdered to make an out cry. She gazed in alarm at his re- treating figure and burst into tears. Passing by was little girl who lives in the vicinity. When she saw that the weeping girl was unable to speak English. she led Bertha down to the Schneider grocery. Schneider enjoys the reputation of being a linguist of ability and though he had not brought his knowledge of Lithuanian into play for a long time, he had little difficult tv in learning the girls story.
 Touched at the girls plight, Schneider turned over his business to an assistant. He inquired among Li- thuanians for the man whose name, Bertha remembered, but whose ad- dress she had lost, and speedily To- cated her relatives. Then he took the disheartened little traveller to the tailor's home.

'. M. C. 4. THIEF NEARLY CAUGHT
 IN NEW HAVEN
Just Escapes As Local Off cers Run Down Clues Lead
 ing to His Whereabouts
Belief Is that He Was Pre-. pairing for Another Big Cleanup When He Took Alarm.

Clues leading the police almost on to the heels of the accomplished Y. M. c. A. gymnasium thief who loot ed the clothing of many professional and business men here last Monday afternoon directed the widespread search for "Schneider'' to the Elm city. and yesterday he came within an ace of being captured. But he learned that the police were on his track and fled.
 Schneider" as the police know the fugitive from the name upon a mem- from the Y. M. c. A. in Buffalo, N. r.. cleaned up about $2O0 worth of watches, cash and jewelry from the pockets of several well known Bridge porters gathered in the Y. M. c. A. gym, Monday afternoon.
 He is believed to have fled iron, this city to New Haven. Warning was sent in all directions to be on the lookout for the thief and the po- lice departments of the various cities lost no time in apprais-ng the officials of the various Y. M c. A. homes. Word was received here yesterday that Schneider was seen in New Ha- ven and the local police at once dis natched officers to run him down. In some manner the fugitive must have learned that danger was im- pending.
 According to the information given the local police Schneider made it his business to. meet a number of repre- sentative members of the Y. NJ. c. A. of New Haven. They believe he was preparing for a wholesale clean up in that city when he took alarm at the activity of the police and shook the dust of the Elm City from his heels.

| ication. Should this means of secur- ing the mans liberty fail, the trolley men themselves will seek to secure the necessary bail.
 The executive board of the Trolley mems Union will meet this evening to devise ways and means to give aid to one of their members, Mo. .orman Louis Peterson. who is lodged in jail charged with manslaughter in the case of the killing of Jessica Saunders, last Thursday night.
 A member of the union said this morning: We waited on the company last night and asked that it go on the bond of Peterson. The company re- fused absolutely to have anything to do with the case. We don't know of employees before. The union will leave no stone unturned to give pro- tec,ion to Peterson and will secure an attorney for him.
 We understand that Stuyvesant Peabody. who was in the car with the accident is a very wealthy young man and that he has influential friends in this city. Peterson has no wealth, but he has the sympathy of all his fellow employees who do not believe he will have any trouble proving his innocence. The union is in possession of evidence that 1t believes will place the blame upon someone other than the motorman.
 "we know the condition of certain people who figured in the accident at the time it happened, and we know who took the markers from Peabody's s car the night of the accident.
 The union men feel that if the cor oner had held public inquest and If the true facts brought out at the hear ing were given publicity that the pulp lie at this time would have clearer conception of the case at hand. We know that Coroner Wilson has estab- lished the precedent of holding inquests behind closed doors but it is a condi- tion that all railroad employees should deplore. The union men believe that If Peterson Is guilty of con,ributory negligence in causing the death of the young woman that the man who was driving the automobile joy riders should at least. have been held so that his evidence can be heard before the court. We hope that when the case comes to trial MT. Stuyvesant Pea body may not have left the State for
 we are very grateful that the court trial proceedings will be held SO that the news will be given to the public. We will at least be able to show that Peterson was sober at the time of the accident. and that he was running the car as directed by the company. on a night when there was scant supply of power because of power house trou- bles.'
