 Christiano is resting comfortably at St. Vincent's hospital and he feels so well that yesterday he asked the nurses to let him go home. But had the bullet fired by Frank Fiorintino taken little different track Christiano in a mournful ceremony
 The fight arose over a game of Nora, a gambling conceit in which the guessing of the number of ones fingers resting on the edge of a table is the principal factor. In the re- sulting row. Fiorintino thrust hs left arm about the neck of his intended victim, drew his head down on his breast, poked the pistol in his face and holding him in a bear-like hug, pumped a bullet into him.
 Fiorintino has confessed to the shooting. Now he claims he did it in self defence; that Christiano first tried to slash him. with a razor. The pistol was hidden by. Giuseppe Mallevilla. a laborer, who threw it into the cellar of the saloon where the police later found 1t.

PROMOTINN FOR
 CRANE PLAYERS
Johnny Downey, "Hank' O'Day and" "Dutch" Rich ards All Said to Be Book ed for Full Professional Game.

The Industrial league, which has existed for the past three seasons, and which is now to embrace a fourth, will lose some of it's stars by gradua- tion into faster company. The in- telligence was given out some time ago that Johnny Downey, brother of Tommy, crack short stop for the Cin- cinnatis, was to be given try out by some Class B team. Young Dow ney has received and sent back, sign ed, 3 contract with the York club, of the Tri-State league. Downey was one of the big noises on the Crane No. 1 team. s
 The exodus seems to have hit the Main street plant team with great force. It has also been learned that Hank" O'Day, who covered third, end Dutch Richards, the stubby left fielder, are booked to go with a New York state team. If such is the case Manager Stewart will have a Job on his hands, getting together g. rep resentative team. But, Crane No. l are there. when the gong rings.
 Jimmy Noonan, the leading bats man of the season of 1908, and who was way up with the leaders, last season, is also looking for a berth Tn professional baseball. If such is the case, the Singer team will lose a very valuable acquisition. Jimmy already has two offers from clubs on the Pacific Coast, but is undecided wheth- CT to join them or not. He prefers to play with clubs nearer home.

WOMEN DON'T MIND
 A FEW BAD WORDS
Especial from United Press.

(Sp0CIdl rom OnlLeO PT0SS.D
 Boston, Feb. 7.-Women sensation seekers who have haunted the court martial at the navy yard here since the hearing of the Cowles- Robnett- Auld scandal began, got their first taste of real naughtiness here today when the courtmartial of Past Assist ant Surgeon Ansey Hamilton Robnett began with Captain Helm as presi- dent.
 With the opening of the hearing Major Leonard, for Robnett, moved for bar of trial as in the Auld case, on the ground that Robnett' had al- ready been disciplined by Secretary of the Navy Meyer. His motion was overruled and Dr. Edward s. Cowles. the complainant, took the stand.
 Opening his testimony pr. Cowles rehearsed the incidents of the navy hop. Asked as to just what Robnett said, pr. Cowles was just about to give the. thrilling words in deta,i when Captain Helm announced that before the words were named the women present would be given an opportunity to leave the room. Not a woman moved. pr. Cowles then declared that following the hop i'm cident Dr. Robnett had called him up on the phone and ordered that he return photograph of Miss Dorothy Hesler of Chicago at once.
 "He called me a -'' said Dr. Cowles, and the women who were expecting to be shocked, only leaned forward to listen more in- tently.

LAWYERS WOULD
 RETAIN COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
Special from United Press. )

(Spec1al rom On1ted PreSS.)
 New Haven, Feb. With attorneys from all over Connecticut in attend ance. an interesting meeting of the State Bar Association was opened in Hendrie Hall University, shortly be- fore noon today. The feature of the morning session was the report of the committee on judicial admin stration, of which M. H. Ho'comb is chairman. The two most important recommenda- tions put before the meeting were vot- ed against. They were Q) Whether the Courts of Common Pleas shall be abolished and the number of judges in the Superior Court curtailed CD Whether attorneys for the State should be prohibited from trying civil jury cases. Both questions brought forth much discussion and after debate both propositions were killed.
 Judge Matthewson of the city court of New Haven, read a paper at the morning session dealing with the Court of Common Pleas question in Connec- ticut.
 The association adopted a lengthy code of professional ethics for the government of the profession in Con- necticut. The code is practically the same as that adopted by the Ameri- can Bar Association. except that cer- tain necessary local changes are in cluded.

PLUCKY THREE YEARS CHILD
 BADLY BURNED
It's Injuries Neglected, It Be- comes Victim of Scarlet Fever and Is Removed to Isolation Hospital.

Three -year-old Simeon Corin of 202 Hurd avenue, taken to St. Vincent hospital Saturday afternoon after he had suffered "A hours from improperly attended burns from knees to toes on both legs, was taken from that insti- tuition to the iso ation hospital today suffering from scarlet fever as well as a badly inflamed condition of the burned 6esh The fever is due. par tially at least, in the opinion of at tending physicians, to the neglect from which the youngster suffered. His removal to the iso.ation hospital makes the total number now housed in that institution seven, five of them suffering from scarlet fever, one from diphtheria and one from erysipe as.
 Saturday afternoon when pr. Krause had answered an ambulance call to the Hurd avenue home and found the child in such condition that he needed prompt and careful attention. Nhe told the parents the child must be placed where he would receive proper care. They readily asseted, for neither ap- parently knew how the burns should be treated. The father is a laborer in the Bridgeport Brass Co.,, d French immigrant with little knowledge of English, and the mother is deaf
 When the doctor had placed the youngster in the ann ulance, and Chauffeur Burlison was about to speed away to the hospital, the father came running out
 "Wait!" he exclaimed, then ran lack into the house.
 The surgeon was growing impati- ent at the delay when the father re- appeared with his hand outstretched.
 Here, give it to the babe" he said handing toN Dr. Krause a tiny time worn tobacco pipe.
 The doctor thrust it in his pocket. When the child had been placed in the children's ward at the hospital, he began to cry for his parents. This appealed to Dr. Krause as the psychological moment.
 Here, sonny" said he. Look what your Father sent yod.''
 Little Simeon sat straight up in bed despite his pain, and began foid ing the pipe as if it were a countless sum of money. Then to the delight of the other youngsters in the vicin- ity, he placed the pipe in his mouth, and went through the motions of smoking with gusto. General grief prevailed when the other children learned today that he was to be talk en away again.

RAINIER HITS POSTAL SAVINGS BILL
 HARD BLOW
Maryland Senator Says Pro- posed Measure Has No Constitutional Peg to Hang from.

Washington, Feb. With lusty words Senator Rayner, Democrat MarylandD accounted to have a deep knowledge of the constitution, handed the postal savings depository bill a heavy blow. in the Senate today It had no firm base to stand upon or con- stitutional peg to hang from, accord ing to Rayner and if by any chance it is enacted and is sustained in court the precedent will be a menace to merican institutions.
 He would not discuss the desirability of creating postal savings Repositories, Rayner said, but would give attention to whether or not they were authoriz- ed by the constitution. His answer was emphatica.ly in the negative.
 Tt is said that the government" observed the Senator, "has a right to organize bank or charter a bank. Of course it has. These postal deposi- canks or national banks, or any other sort of banks and they have no right to exercise any of the functions which go to constitute a bank. They are simply paternsl institutions to take care Of the peoples money and original conception in these United States, how ever we'll establ' shed it may be in oth- CT countries who have no written con- stitution, a design that was never dreamed of by the framer of that in strument. There is no more similarity between post office and a saving institution than there Is between a postoffice and an aquarium or a zoo- logical garden
 Rayner devoted the. greater part of his speech to arguments combating the claim of advocates of the postal depository bill that it could be based on the clause in the constitution giv- ing Congress power to provide for the general welfare of the United States He quoted Madison, Jefferson, Hamil- ton, Judge Story and others to show that there was no basis for that claim. t~
