Three hobo camps, one of them equipped with all the comforts of home, were discoyered in an over grown section of the Alexander Lev erty farm at the foot of Success Hill and northeast of the Lakeview Home property in a search of that section for evidences of the presence of chicken thieves who for weeks have been proving through the neighbor- hood.
 Two of the inmates of one camp were found seated beside a fire munching upon loaf of bread they had broken into two pieces, when the police came upon them through the woods. They disclaimed any knowledge of the chicken thefts but the police charged them with being vagrants and held them for investiga- tion.
 Supt. Birmingham despatched Pa trolmen Flood and Dempsey to search the locality yesterday. Dark ness was overriding them when they glow of a fire.

 LITTLE GIRLS AS VICTIMS
Pembroke Street Shoemaker Arrested, Held

One Specific Charge Against Him Covers Multitude of Alleged Crlmes-Authories Hope Will Not Be Necessary to Drag In Names of Other Victims in Order to Secure Conviction

Astounding stories of bacchanaliar reveIs in an obscure back room o1
 his cobbling shop, where it is alleg eG
 he used to lure the little girls of hi: nelghborhood, were unearthed by the police today in their investigation o1 the charges against Joseph Endico. a cobbler of 1221 Pembroke street, who
 was arrested early this morning. To determine just how many charges and the exact nature of the charges to be brought against Endico, Assista nt Prosecutor Redden asked Judge Wild CT to hold Endico in bail of $1O,O00 while an investigation is in progress He will be arraigned in the city court for preliminary hearing on Satur- day. StOutly protesting his inno- cence, Endico was given an extended examination in the detective bureau this morning, refusing to admit any Of the numerous charges the police are preparing to bring against him.
 To protect the names of the other little girl victims in the neighbor- hood of Endico'se cobbler shop, the police are hopeful of conf1ning the charges against Endico to those old, daughter of Morris Sherman, a tailor living almost next door, at 124l Penn broke street
 Endico was arrested after mid night this morning. The police were eager for a specific charge against the man, for he had long been under surveillance. He lived most of the time alone in the rear of his cobbler shop, sometimes sharing his sleeping quarters with another cobbler. Stor- ties kept recurring with alarming fre- quency connecting Endico's name with fha vOI1nU children of inc neighbOrhOod.
 Today Assistant Prosecutor Redden stated that he was confident that if there should be doubt as to the abil- ity of the state to prove the charge of outraging the little Sherman girl, the state can produce several charges of criminal assault upon the child, as well as upon other children cf the neighbcrhcod which will result in his being placed in danger of many years imprisonment.
 Endico is ignorant of the laws of this country His wife and fo UT chill dren are in Italy. He came here several years ago, lived a few years, returned to his native land, and less than two years ago returned here established the Pembroke street busi- ness.
 According to the statement of lit tie Yetta, her first encOunter/ with Endico resulted from her being dis patched to the cobbler's shop from her home, almost next door, to get tacks for her mother. This was sev- eral months ago. Endico took ad- vantage of her innocence, she ayers, and several times thereafter when she passed the store he called her into the place, giving her a dime ar a nickel each visit, warning rher to keep silence and frightening her with threats of arrest if she should dis close what had taken place. Fear after the first encounter with Endico led fthe child to seal her lips.

GREAT GROSS ON SPIRE 10
 SHINE FORTH
St. Patrick's Church Here First in Country to Adopt Electric illumination For Cross

St. Patrick's church in this city :s to be the first edifice of it's kind in
 America to have m illuminated spire Father J. B. Nihill, the pastor. got the idea while attending the recent
 Eucharistic congress in Montreal. There he saw the spires of the churches illuminated temporarily for the celebration and as his parish was in process of building a new church
 he hit upon the idea of putting a permanent system of lighting at the peak of the 1894 fit. spire, the highest in the city, which is being completed today. This afternoon the spire was standing 8 it. nigh and spreading 5 feet with a total weight of 1,600 pounds.
 Cut into the cross are 52 small ap- pertureS into which will be placed specially made incandescent lamps of high power.
 The big cross will be- visible in all parts of the city in the day time and on nights of important feast days of the years the powerful light will blaze worth, beacon to all Chris tendon that it is a day of special importance to all Catholics.
 When lighted the illumination will take the form of the cross and as the lights are placed on both sides of the emblem of the church the rays will be visible as far to the north as the hills will permit them to be while to the south the light will be visible far out on the waters of Long Island Sound.
 One day that the lights will be burned will be on St. Patrick's night in honor of the Patron Saint whose name is borne by the parish. Among "a a ho Tpa rlx n6 hu the blazing forth of the cross will he The Feast of Nativity at Christmas. Ascension Thursday, 30 days after Easter, The Feast of the Circumcision on Nov. 2, The Feast of the Assump- ton on August 15, The Feast of the Immaculate Conception on Dec. 2, The Feast of the Resurrection at Easter and other days in the year
 It will be possible to ascend to within means of an interior staircase and from there on it will be possible for the caretaker of the light to use a permanent iron ladder that will be installed.
 The erection of the spire was per- formed by the use of 0 derrick as high as the spire itself and the rais- ing of the stone cross weighing 4-5 of ton, this afternoon, was watched by a most interested throng of par lShlOnerS.
 Although the placing of the cross in position represented the placing in position of the last piece of the stone work Father Nihill was of the opin- ion this morning that it would be about a year before the church is ready to be dedicated. The interior work has to be completed and fol- lowing that there will be the exten- sive operation of decorating the in- terior of the edifice.
 The members of the parish are very proud of the appearance of the handsome new edifice and are de- lighted with the fact that it is the first church in America to be provid- ed with an illuminated spire.

MRS. CLOVER COOL UNDER CROSS FIRE
 IN COURT TODAY
Gives Sensational Testimony Re- garding Relations of Her Mur- dered Husband and Hattie Le Blanc
Especial from United Press.)

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 1.-Hattie Le Blanc and Mrs. Lillian M. Glover, both accused of the murder of Clar- ence F. Glover, entered the East Cambridge courtroom, today, where Hattie's trial for the murder is pro- gressing, ready for startling develop ments. The girl looked at Mrs. Glow CT, almost appealingly, as if ready for a smile of recognition but the wo- man remained apparently oblivious of her former maid-servant's pres ence. The battle lines were clearly drawn, when today's session opened, for Attorney Johnson, for the little French Canadian girl, showed his hand in yesterdays session. He will try to prove Hattie Le Blanc inno- cent by showing that Mrs. Glover had motive and ability to destroy her husband.
 "A vampire is what Johnson call- ed the murdered mans wife. 1T will show" he continued, that she, alone, had the motive, that she had the mental and physical capacity, that she had the means-the revolver that she had the intent and design, and that she had the opportunity"
 This was in fighting for the intro- auction of evidence, in cross-ques- tioning pr. Cousens, at whose hos pital Glover died ,as to telephone conversation with Mrs. Glover. He declared he would later take up the testimony that Mrs. Glover was too weak to go up to her husbands bed side with other evidence against her.
 The sensation of the proceedings, yesterday was Mrs. Glover's testi- mony. She told of finding Hattie J-e Blanc and her husband in the hath room of her home, identified pins and combs found in the laundry a5 Hattie's, repeated her alibi that she was telephoning to a friend in Nit. Auburn at the moment Glover was killed, and identified the big revolver with which her husband was killed, as her own. She stood and held the weapon easily as she identified it.
 When court opened, today, another gigantic crowd, lured by bright suu- shine and promises of the greatest sensations of the trial, S,ui med fer admission. Only enough % ill every seat were admitted but hundreds stood outside in the halls.
 Hattie came in as usual, few min- Ctes before the court was seated, but, today, with an air of scared expect ency. The dramatic occurrences of yesterday, her attorneys victory in preventing the prosecution from iIl- troducing Glover's last words. which sets a far-reaching legal precedent, and Mrs. Gloyer's calm, cool detail- ing of Hattie's actions, had had their effect. and the girl was visibly nerv- ous-

1 from the plant.
 The committee asked time to consul, with the general committee represent ing the East Side. before accepting this change. which is designed to re- leVe the contractor of the responsibil- ity for odors occasioned by the un- loading of garbage at the plant. pro- Vldlng the smell is not appreciabIe at greater distance than 200 yards. The contract Is so drastic that it is doubted if any, garbage plant will be actually erected under it. It is certainly the fact that under the provisions of the instrument the proposed plant must be odorless and absolutely free of nuisance. or its operations will be summarily sus- pended.
 The plant of the Bridgeport Bly, Products Company. it is said. could not have continued in operation 24 hours had the company been subject to the stringent provisions which the East Side has demanded in the pres ent case.
 Not only does the proposed contract include the protective clauses of the Wheelwright contract. as drafted by City Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan, but additional protection is given in paragraph 16. as proposed by MT. Jud- son, which provides that the contract must terminate upon a Judgment
 
 has been violated. Any citizen is thus enabled to annul the contract for cause, eventhough the, Board of Health at the time may be unwilling to act or, refuse to do so.
 This clause was contested by MT. Fischer almost as strenuously as the protective features of the Wheelwright contract were contested
 A meeting will be held at o'clock this afternoon in the office of the city attorney.
 MT. Fischer will then announce his attitude toward the contract
 Many persons believe that he will not accept it, and that no garbage plant will ever be erected under it.
 It is argued that if Charles S. Wheelwright did not feel warranted in attempting to reduce garbage in the West End under the Wheelwright con- tract and exceedingly favorable condi- tions as to location, that MT. Fischer's process will have to be odorless in- deed if he can conduct it under con- ditions yet more exacting and in locality less favorable to the work.
 It was said at 8 o'clock this after noon that MT. Fischer had decided to sign the contract.

 The committee not only secured all the protection given by the Wheel wright contract. but additional pro- tection in the form of a clause which gives to the individual citizen rem edy, in case any Board of Health re- fuses to act upon proof that there has been a violation.

 All the members of the board were present. and Dr. George E. Ober. pres ident of the board. presided.
 City Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan was also present.
 The East Side committee was rep resented by States Attorney Stiles Judson, Jr.. and Mr. Fischer by David s. Day. who came to represent A. M. Marsh, Mir. FiScher's counsel.
 A large representation was present from the East Side, including the mem bers of the committee. Lynn w. Will son. Albert E. Lavery. and Thomas J. McNamara, former Senator William R. Brown. and W. W. Jones. superin- fendent of Bridgeport Hospital.
 The committee informed the board that it had been raised by mass rneting of citizens of the Ninth and Twelfth district. and that, its t1strnc- tions were to demand of the b6ard the full protection of the Wheelwright contract.
 Mr. Day insisted. for Mr. Fischer, that the demanded protection was much too drastic.
 The Board of Health went into exe- cutive session.
 Its deliberations concluded at 11:30. It was then announced that the board had voted to insert in the proposed contract all of the protective provis- ions demanded by the committee. with out modification, except that it was proposed to add to the paragraph pro- hibiting offensive odors. a few words providing that this should not apply to odors coming from raw garbage if these odors should not be perceptible at a distance further than 200 yards

FATAL FIRE IN
 DALLAS, TEXAS
Especial from United Press.) )

Dallas, Tex, Dec. IA woman and two city firemen were run dowa by a hose truck, and probably fatal ly injured, early today, as the entire city fire department struggled to check the spreading of a fire that destroyed property valued at $100,- OOO.
 Insufficient water pressure, the re- suit of drought, unbroken except by intellectual showers. seriously hamper ed the efforts of the fire fighters.
 Thirty-six dwellings were destroy ed or badly damaged, together with the plant of the Buell. Flaming Mills Compeny. The cause of the blaze, that originated in the Buell. work s, has not yet been determined. For five hours the. flames swept over two city blocks, the firemen being practically helpless to combat it's progress.
