SUCCESS ATTENDING NEW SCHEME FOR
 HANDLING TRAFFIC

Inauguration of the new system ot handling traffic at Fairfield avenue and Main street today was attended with excellent results. Two police men stationed at the busy intersec- tions regulated the passing of trol- ley cars, teams, automobiles and ped estrians The system worked out smoothly, although the crucial test will come tonight at 6 o'clock when trolley cars, vehicles and pedestrians almost, invariably find themselves ir a blockade.
 One of the policemen carries a whis- tIe When his whistle blows, it is 8 signal that triffic is open in one direc- tion, either north or south in Main street, or East and West in Fairfield avenue. If the policemen stands in the middle of the Fairfield avenue crosswalk it means that only Main street is open. If he stands in the middle of Main street, it means that only Fairfield avenue is open. Every time he blows his whistle the police men changes his position.

bite his seemingly overwhelming ob- stacles has been at times almost pitt able. With none but his faithful lit- tie wife and his children to cheer him in his toll, he has spent every cent he could make from his engine building in fashioning out model after model of aeroplane and eventually of helicop- ter. At times he has deprived himself of the absolute necessities of life to buy fuel for his engine or material for his devices. Finding it too ex- pensive to pay house rent he gathered a little money, built story and half house in Holland Heights and here he slapped together a few rude timbers to form the skeleton of his worshop.
 Now the little home has been SUD- planted by modern two story house and the machine shop has grown to imposing proportions. Inside the shop glistening and bright are the parts Of the airship and the framework, like the skeleton of some antediluvian monster, awaits the installation of the motors to speed away.

.EL0PING WIFE AND
 !. FOUR LITTLE ONES
 l. SENT HOME TO OHIO

Through the arrest of Mrs. Mary Korkedy of Toledo. O.. and four lit tie children. at 574 Howard avenue this afternoon. there came to light a sen sationa1 story of elopement of a year ago.
 For nearly a year Mrs Korkedy has been in this city, first with her com panion in flight. and then alone with her children. Abandoned by her para mour, she found herself without friends and resources.
 This afternoon State Policeman Rudd, dispatched here by the Comp troller, arrested the woman on a spe- cial form of warrant provided for just such cases. He took her and the four children to New York city and placed them on a train for Toledo. and saw them on their way.
 Mrs Korkedy confessed that she had become infatuated with Peter Jojo, a boarder, for whom she had forsaken her husband.

M'CANN WOULD
 RATHER LOSE THAN WIN WITH ROWDIES

i Springfield, June 20-Manager Gene McCann of the Bridgeport Baseball club announced today that he had sus- pended indefinitely without pay both Floyd "Chalky'' Clunn and John Red Waller, the two crack pitchers Of the club, for conduct unbecoming gentle men and members of the Bridgeport team. It appears that Waller and Clunn after the game in Waterbury yesterday broke the rules as laid down by the club management, and were not Tn a condition this morning to go on with the team to Springfield. Man ager McCann said: "I would rather have a second division team of gentle men than to have a pennant winning club of rowdies.''
 When McCann was asked what the players attitude in the matter was, he said: 'I have suspended them in definitely; if they want to take offense at it they can. the club does not care. If they want to quit they can. I will not have rowdieS on my team. Their suspension will last until I get good and ready to lift it. Their conduct yesterday was below me. They are deserving of every penalty that can be placed upon them.'
 The suspension of the two players came as a surprise to the Springfield fans today, as McCann's team was looked upon as the models of the league. It is easy to see that McCann will not stand for any such conduct on the part of his players. and pur- sued the best course when he laid the men off. The suspension of the two pitchers will cripple the club, which is fighting for first place. but McCann will have discipline among his play

CHURCH THIEF
 SLIPS COAT AND ESCAPES ARREST

Slipping out of his coat and flee ing in his shirt sleeves a thief caught emerging from St. Joseph's German R. c. church in Madison avenue this noon made good his escape, although Watchman Herb pursued him for sev- eral blocks.
 Herb seized the man by the arm and a struggle ensued. Herb tried to subdue the prisoner, and appar- ently had bested him when the stranger deftly slipped his coat, a trick in which professional thieves are proficient, and so surprised the watchman that he gained a good start before Herb could take after the fugitive.
