(By William Carman, Burglary

(By William Carman, Burglar.)
 Why has Bridgeport so many unde- eirable citizens? It is because of the lax methods employed by the officials at the county jail in turning loose pris- oners who have served their time with nothing but their dirty clothes on their backs, and without cent in their pockets Where can these men go, but to hang around the dives of the city. and eventually land again in the jau If they try to beat it' out of town on freights they are again ar rested, and find themselves again Tn Bridgeport jail.
 This morning I was released from the jail, after serving S2 days. l had nothing but the ragged clothes with which I entered the jail. and was pen Iniless. They have a tailor at the jail to mend and press clothing. but the men all come out the same way, dirty ana iunkempt. My home is in Greenwich, to which place I asked for railroad ticket. but I was refused. I have inothirlg else to do but to hang around Bridgeport. and I know that within flew days I will again hear the judge say, Thirty days" People look me over on the street. point at me saying, Jan bird" They can see it in my my main in Bridgeport till I can get work Ito earn better wear. In Greenwich I know can obtain work and can se- cure clothing.
 I reported sick at the jail on June lSth, with cramps in my stomach. Keeper Watts, who acts also at times las the doctor. 6xed me up a cramp medicine, ordering me either to go to work or have a session in the cooler II saw Dr. Banks, but he would not pay any attention to me at all. As I was unable to work. I was compelled to go to the cooler. where I stayed for 100 hours from 1 o'clock Thursday to 5 o'clock Monday. Sleep in the cooler is upon the cement floor. I violated

SUPPORT SOUGHT FOR c.. B. WILSON
 FOR MAYOR 1911
Coroner is Choice of Republican Machine and Canvass of Ward Men is in Progress

The municipal election is year away, but the Republican machine is grooming Coroner Clifford B. Wilson for the mayoral nomination.
 The canvassing of ward leaders began sometime since. Man after man who has, or is credited with hav- ing the influence to marshal from ten to twenty votes at a primary, has been seen, some of them by the coroner himself, and asked to pledge the future.
 The movement went we'll enough until it struck the East Side where is a large body of voters who favor the candidacy of Harbormaster Charles H. Morris and there it met a snag.
 In the last municipal election the Republican machine carried the East Side, but only by a popular majority of 20 votes.
 Most careful observers believe that the job will be more difficult in the fall of 1911.
 The East Side is virtually insur- gent. The strength of the Republican party beyond the river lies in a large body of skilled, and thoughtful work men. who have marked with growing impatience that the leadership of their party is in the hands of state and Federal office holders, who work hand in hand with corporation law yers to promote the sort of legisla- ton that has made the cost of living high in this country and that keeps it high.

WHY C|TY'S CRIMINAL
 POPULATION IS LARGE

no rules of the jail. yet I had to re- main in that place for 100 hours. The fact is that the contractor at the quarry is so anxious to get men to work that they will make them work whether they are able to or not.
 I don't know anything about Sheriff Hawley. but feel he cannot be aware of everything that is going on inside. The men are treated like beasts when he is not around. while in his pres self never did object to any of the work. I was working carrying and mixing stone. It is shameful. though, to see some of the men trying to work, some to whom real hard labor is un- known. heard one day one of the keepers say. when a complaint had been made by one of the prisoners. w don't like to have the sheriff both cred with these matters. I'll attend to 1t myself It Is just In this manner that the sheriff Is unaware of things, which it is his place to know.
 The last time was my second at the jail. The first time was sent up for attempting to burglarize a store in Greenwich. I was entering the win dow of the store at the time. when was shot by person from the inside of the place. who was laying in wait, as the store had been robbed on three other occasions. After I was released managed to get into New York State. L was working my way through this State. arriving one day by trolley in Greenwich. had just stepped from a trolley car into saloon and had ordered a drink. when I was placed under arrest for drunkenness. I real ize that I am an undesirable person. and it wes for that reason that I was arrested in Greenwich the last time for drunkenness when was perfectly sober
 This will in a way explain how so many undesirables are dumped upon Bridgeport, and may bring about a way so that a prisoner can get back to the town in which he was arrest ed.

UNCLE JOE PURSLEYS
WARNING TO FISHERMEN.

Having been appointed Game and
Fish Warden for this section of the
state am going to see that the
laws are strictly enforced. l will be
up and down the streams all summer
and in al of the camps. so don't
break the law and we won't have
any trouble.
Don't have any fish in your basket
or in camp, less than seven inches
in length; this does not mean seven
inches when they come out of the
water but they must be that long
when | find them, so don't take any
chances, throw the little ones back
in the river.
Don't catch more in one day than
the law allows, that's twenty pounds,
and it's enough for any one but a
hog.
Don't have more fish in camp than
the law allows, that's twenty-five
pounds for each person who catches
them, but not twenty-five pounds for
each man, woman and child who hap
pens to be in camp.
| am going to keep the names of
all those who salt down fish, the
law allows them to be in your pos
session only five days after the sea-
son closes.
Don't throw bottles, tin cans or
other rubbish in the streams, it's
against the law and am going to
put a stop to it. Try to remember
that there are lots of other people
on the stream beside yourself and
respect their rights the same way
you want them to respect yours.
! don't want to have to arrest
anybody, it's long way to Conejos,
but If l find or learn of any one
breaking the law we surely will make
the trip. And finally. don't go blaz-
ing away with a pistol or rifle in
the brush along the streams. You
are liable to kill some ones stock,
or even some person whom you can't
see. It's dangerous.
