GUS EDWARDS SCHOOL AT POLPS
 IS A BIG HIT
"The Bandil'' Gives Serious Touch to Program = Wormwood's Monkeys Do Wonderful Feats.

The School. for Boys and Girls, which is described as an infant comic opera, music and lyrics by Gus Ed wards, pleased a large house at Polls last night. Unquestionably the best number on the 4rcgram. judged by the gade., in which Lillian Come, as Sassy Little, cuts quite a figure There are six musical numbers, and much persif1age in the act. The other young women in the play are all di- ninutive and are known, out of school, as Gertie Moulton. Pearl Young. Mary Come is the smallest of the bunch. but contributes much more than her share to tl2e fun.
 There are a number. of good acts this week. The Latoy Bros. do some acrobatic stunts, mixed with more talk than is usual for acts of this type The talk mostly centers around a back, double twisting somersault. which is cleverly done by one of the broth CTS.
 Suzanne Rocamora is the possessor of 8 remarkable voice. which she uses with intelligence. She made a great irnPr ession with her songs, especially the last in which she executed a num- Der of difficult trills and scales, show ing to advantage the range and qual- ity Of her tones.
 One of the most dramatic bits of work that has been seen this season is The Bandit, rendered by E. Fred eric HaWley and Frances Haigl1t. The former is the bandit and the latter the captive The playlet has a traoic ending. as sudden as it is unexpected The setting is complete and lights up bea utifully.
 Charles and Fanny Van are not new to Bridgeporters. Their novel skit, "A Case of Emergency. is just as funny as can be.
 In Wormwood's Dogs and Monkies there is naetIning to make the chu- dren- and the grown up people alike wonder The simians certainly do some wonderful feats. There are some trained dogs who do fully much credit to their teaching. especially a Great Dane which is the vehicle upon which one of the monkeys does some trick riding, that would not disgrace a human circus rider.
 Murray and Linn appear as icon trasting'' comedians, and this they are. for one is fat and the other strangely tall, lean and angular. Their work is amusing and they get the laughs.

FASHIONS AND PADS

Many of the handsome gowns are made with a chiffon or lace tunic reaching to within ten inches of the floor This gives opportunity for the exquisite soft satin of the gown to be displayed to it's full glory.
 The small flowers are the favorites in millinery, violets, forget -me-nots, bluets or corn-flower, tiny old-fashion- ed rosebuds, lilies of the. valley and other small blossoms that can be used in masses.
 An odd and pretty accessory consists of an inch wide band of colored velvet, joined by a hook and eye at the front, where sis a friIl in straight jabot effect, made of net or lace, with ends drop ping below the lower edge of the vel. fvet. finished with tassels.
 While flowers are to be decidedly in evidence on the spring and summer sons flowers. They will be made of tuI1e chiffon and other transparent materials, and will have a tendency to make the hat lighter and will be more attractive.

AGED MAN FOUND SUPPOSEDLY RICH
 BRIDE WAS BROKE
So He Fled From Cromwell to This City Arrested For Non.Snpport.


 When Karl Kauhaus. aged 70 years, bent and gray, was turned over to the Cromwell, Conn.,, authorities by the 1o- cal police late yesterday, to answer to the charge of non-support in that town, he offered a novel plea in exten- uation of his offence.
 Kauhaus was only recently married. He said yesterday he was induced to hazard matrimonial venture at his advanced age only because the old girl he had tried to learn to love had rep resented herself as worth $10.OGO.
 KauhauS was preparing to settle down to a life of indolence during the few remaining years he thought al1ot- ted to him, when his wife reminded him that one of the duties of the hus- band was to bring in the money for coffee and beans.
 Then for the first time he discovered that instead of being worth $10.OOO his bride was practically penni1ess. So Kauhaus packed up his belongings and journeyed to Bridgeport He had set tied down quietly in a boarding house in Howard avenue. working at odd jobs, when yesterday Detective Hall and Cromwell authorities swooped down on him.

COL. ROGERS, CANDIDACY


 Elsewhere in this issue of the Far mer. there appears interview with Col M. H. Rogers of this city. who holds the office of Secretary of State. In this interview. he announces in straightforward. unequivocaI language his candidacy for reelection. and gives reasons for his ambition. which will appeal strongly to all persons having business with his department of the State government. It is, we believe, a fact that he has put the office upon a real business footing and that all persons having business with the of fee have found their way eased and expedited through methods introduced by him
 As may be recalled. Col. Rogers se- cured the nomination two years ago over the candidate slated by the State machine, but it will probably not be necessary for him to make 8 contest this year. the custom being to concede a second nomination and it being also understood that he has made his peace with the machine. !
 Col. Rogers is evidently not appre- hensive of any disastrous effect from the sunlight of publicity. for he gives ample time for discussion of his >andidacy.

AT HEAD OF HoM1o1DAL LIST

There are about 900 murders a year in this country. which is four times more than 20 years ago. and is more than the number in Italy, Aus tria, France. Belgium. England, Ire land, Scotland, Spain. Hungary. Hol- land and Germany combined In Ger many. there are 95 per cent. of convic- tions in Spain 85. France 65. Italy IT, and England 50, while in this country the percentage is 1-3, or less than two convictions to each 100 hornicides.
 Are the American people more shomfcidaIly inclined thah are other pies as have the reputation of using deadly weapons on slight provocation? :? Has the traditional American tendency toward ffsticuffs in the adjustment of differences given place to the use of pistols knives.- etc? We hesitate to credit either of these propositions, al though the statistics above given seem to prove one or both of them.
 Are our courts, prosecuting officials and juries so lax in murder cases that 9s out of each 100 accused persons es- cape conviction and punishment? We do not recall instances of such laxity; though it is a fact that compromise verdicts by juries sometimes enable prisoners to escape the major penal ties.
 Are our police departments made quate or incompetent to the detection of naurderers and to the obtainment of evidence sufficient to convict? We are not inclined to so believe. There are doubtless sections where the de- tection and conviction of this class of criminals are not pushed with proper vigor and skill. but in the populous centres this is assuredly not the fact, though it is also a fact that the larger the population of any given locality. the greater the criminals chances of escape. owing to the inevitable confu- sion of clues, the possibility of the guilty one losing himself in the crowd'', etc
 But, whatever the causes. the dis graceful fact that this country heads the honicida1 list, remains. It is be- coming an important matter, how to check the homicidal tendency, and how to detect and punish a sufficient per- centage of the guilty for the virtual certainty of adequate punishment to operate as a deterrent.

PERMISSION TO REMOVE
 BUILDING IS DESCENDED.
Owners of Property at Warren Street and Park Avenue Do Not Want Structure Planned By Abra-
 ham Chelinsky

Public Works Director M. A. Ken ny, having received a remonstrance from property owners in the vicinity of Atlantic street and Park avenue gainst the removal of a frame build ing from Warren street to that sec ton, the matter was turned over to the street committee, last night. The owner of the building, who received permission at the previous meeting, is Abraham Chelinsky. Alderman Clampett spoke in favor of permit ting Chelinsky to continue the work of moving the structure. He said that when the structure was on it's foundations and the improvement finished Chelnsky would have as good a building my in the neigh borhood. But the. council rescinded it's former action. A resolution by Alderman Gould was adopted, asking g the city attorney for an opinion rela- tive to the powers of the council in delegating it's authority, relative to giving permission to move buildings through the streets.

POINTS OF INTEREST.
"A Study in Red"

A window display that will be ad- naired by many people is the study in red" which is carried out in one of E. H. Dillon & Co.'S windows. The whole effect is red-red in the tones which will be most in vogue the com ing season. That red will be a factor in 1910 is not one of the guesses. It is an assured thing. There are six red hats of the Paris istamp-eac ch showing the individual touch which Dillon hats are so sure to carry. Pop pies, roses. ribbons and electric lights are employed, with the hats. to give an effect which shows the highest ac- complishment in the window dressers' art. No one, should fail to see this window in red. E. H. Dillon & Go. have had many attractive windows but this one is novel as well as artis- tic.
