AGED QUACK
 FALLS INTO
 POLICE TRAP
Septuagenarian Unable to Pay
 Fine Goes to Jail
MEDICINE WAS HEAVILY TOXIC
Accused Had Been Occasion of
 Many Complaints

Falling into a trap laid for him by County Health Officer George F. Hill and State Policeman Frank Vir- been practicing medicine in this city for several years without certificate from the state board of health, to- day went to jail in default of cash to pay a fine of $100. He was found guilty by Judge Wilder of violating the statute prohibiting the practicing of medicine by others than legitimate physicians.
 Rocco is 70 years old and feeble and his friends fear that the working out of his. flne-for he is said to be prac- tically destitute-which will keep him in jail for more than three months, may result disastrously to his health. He is not vigorous and the confne- ment they fear will be more than at his advanced age he can bear.
 Rocco was arrested yesterday by St1He Policeman Virelli on a warrant issued by County Health Officer Hill. In the city court the manner of col lectingQ evidence against the aged Quack was disclosed when John Ri- giano and Tony Denzio, laborers liv- ing at 1S46 Main street, were called to the witness stand.
 It was SuOWh tndI Ilduy had been made to the county health officer against Rocco. He sent for Virelli recently and the latter enlist ed the services of the two compatri- ots of the aged doctor, a native of Italy, tol gather evidence. They rep resented themselves as i'll and receiv- ed medicine from the old man. The medicine was returned to Hill who in turn gave it to Frederick c. Stanley, instructor of chemistry at the Bridge port High school.
 The chemist Swore that by analysis of the medicine he found it contained drugs that might prove harmful to the old man's- patients. Dr. J. H. Townsend, testified that Rocco was not registered as physician with the state board of health, Judge Wilder imposed the minimum fine, $100. re- mitting the costs, but the aged pri. soner could not raise the money and went to jail.
 Rocco has, maintained an office at 1340 Main street for several years. He said he did not care to practice medk cine but gave the medicine to his wis., itors as favor more than as a mat ter of business.

yond those of a city, that has settled down to a fixed population. While the expense of a celebration might not be great, it is out of the ques- ton to draw on the municipal funds for such purpose. Public spirited merchants and manufacturers would no doubt be willing to contribute generously, for all public spirited Bridgeporters are justffiably proud of the splendid growth of the Park City. l would heartily endorse any project towards the celebration of our growth, and l am confident that the public response would be great and gener- ous."

PARK THEATER.

Honolulu was given a musical treat
by the Musical lpsons not soon to be
forgotten. They far surpass any mu-
steal combination ever seen here and
confine the work to good clear,
straight musical. 1t is doubtful if the
masses here were ever before given
such classic music and responded to
it so generously as they did last night
at the Park, the Ibsons being recalled
time and time again. Their stage ap-
pearance is par excellence and their
finale, introducing Yankee airs, called
for warm applause. Carl Wallner, in
his bassoon act, made big hit. This
seems to be one of Mr.. Wallner's
best acts, but Carl has the people so
with him that this is said with each
change of his. Without doubt he
is the best comedian ever seen here,
winning his houses with good clean
comedy. All in all, the show at the
Park this week is the best Offering
the house has had for some time and
should not fail to please all.

is practically one man and woman
play, there was some clever acting
done by the other members of this ca.
cellent company.
Mr.. cambridge as Jefferson Ryder
looked the part and played it extreme
ly well. His enunciation was clear
and he resisted the temptation of over
doing any of his scenes.
James Dillon and Ivan Miller as
Judge Stott and Senator Roberts res
pectively in their character parts were
very clever.
Mr.. Charles Royal as Hon. Fitzroy
Bagley was as humorous as usual and
carried out the idea of the part Gle
verify.
Judge RossmOre, played by Griffith
Wray, was rendered with a finished
ease. Mr.. Wray poss esses unusual
ability ana makes every part of his
stand out prominently no matter how
small it may be.
Steward Leslie and Frank Howe had
small parts and played them well.
Miss Elliott being i'll, her double
roles of Mrs. Rossmore and Kate Ro
berts were assigned to Miss Melrose
and Blanche Burns respectively. Miss
Melrose had moreover to double, but
she is very clever and her change of
make up transformed her so that at
first she was not recognized as the
popular Louise Melrose.
Blauche Burns played her double
roles with ability and was greatly ap-
preciated in her bits of humor.
