TWO CRUISES PROMISE TO

That the members of the naval mill itia are likely to figure in two cruises this year instead of the single annual cruise ordinarily held under the au- spices of the U. S. Navy, is consid- cred likely from the statement in the general orders covering the cruise that the matter of target practice will not be taken up in the cruise to be held beginning next Saturday, but at a cruise to be arranged later.
 Forty-six Bridgeporters, the mem- bers of the first section of the Third division of the Naval Militia, will re- port at the armory, Saturday morn ing at o'clock, and will board the $50 train from New Haven. On the train they will meet the Second sec tion of the Third division and togeth- CT they will be taken aboard the U. s. $. Louisiana in New Haven har- bor

GLENN MORE THAN 40 YEARS A COP Truant Officers Uniform Now Discloses His Eighth
 Police Stripe
 FEW LONGER IN SERVICE Captain George IT. Arnold of Detective Bureau Was
 Patrolman In 1869
FEW LONGER IN SERVICE

Russell Glenn, truant officer has appeared with the police stripe added to his uniform indicating the rounding out of 40 years continuous service in the police department. He was ap- pointed to the department Feb. 2, 1870, but as during the school terms he does not wear the police uniform, ionly since the closing of school has he don- ned the uniform.
 Few members of the police depart ment can point to such long period of service. Captain George H. Arnold of the detective bureau was made a patrolman, Dec. 5, 1869. John FaIlon, detailed to police duty at the railroad station became a patrolman Dec. 19, 1889. Superintendent of Police Birm- ingham entered the department as a patrolman Nov. 25, 1872.
 Glenn became truant officer by vote of the board of police commissioners June 28, 1902, and for two years he did the work unassisted. April 15, 1904, PatrOlman Farnan became a truant officer and between the two the school children of the city who are recreant in attendance are rounded up.
 Bernard Glennon celebrated the completion of 20 years of service in the police department today by ap- bearing in the city court with six prisoners, whom he and Patrolman Cody arrested along Water street over night, for drunkenness and vagrancy

ECHO OF MARSH SCANDAL COMES
 IN LITIGATION
To Robert Soderberg $10o and Cost of Suit Must Be
 Paid In Reimbursement

Under decision of Justice Wilder, rendered today, Burr & Knapp, bank CTS. must return to Robert Soderberg, an employe of the American Grapho- phone Co.,. s100 and the costs of the suit. an action which grew out of the much mooted land deals of the Marsh Bros, which a few years ago occupied much attention in the civil and crim- inal courts of this county.
 Judge Wilder found upon the testi- mony that Marsh Bros conveyed a piece of land in Capitol avenue to one Martin, in May. 1897. and that Martin Knapp.
 Again, on June A, 1899, Marsh Bros, who no longer held the title to the property, sold it to one Nelson, who likewise mortgaged it to Burr & Knapp. Nelson later turned the prop erty over to Soderberg through Attor- ney Henry c. Burroughs. and Soder- berg paid interest on the mortgage, securing extensions of the mortgage note from time to time
 It was testified that in 1908, when Soderberg was about to build, he was ordered from the premises by Martin, the real owner, and that he then dis covered that he was not lawfully the owner of the property. Soderberg then brought suit to recover the in terest he had paid on the mortgage.
 Chamberlain & Hull appeared for Burr & Knapp, and Attorney Henry c. Burroughs for the defendant.
