BURGLARS. IN FAIRFIELD
 ESCAPE WHILE CITIZENS
 BATTLE WITH EACH OTHER
Four Women in Night App arel Add to the Confusion Run to Street in Fright When Two Burglars Enter Home.

when James and John Dalling arriv- ed together, and mistaking Drew for the burglar, pitched into him and started to give him a good trouncing
 Drew fought back in self defense Then the brothers hit each other by mistake and there wCs a great melee among the rescuers of the Fyfe fam fly, the whole affair, with the screams of the women, making a prodigious din.
 While this was in progress, one of the two intruders came bounding down the stairs of the house. four steps at a time, grabbed Mrs. Fyfe who was standing in front, threw her to one side and made his escape. The other clambered out to the roof in back, jumped to the ground and was off.
 By this time the combatants in front had strengthened out the mix up but it was too late to catch the offenders, who had made good use of their heels.
 The members of the F'yfe family then forgot the excitement, remem- bered their scanty attire, and beat d precipitate retreat into the house, with many bushes.
 The Dalling brothers and MT. Drew, who are fast friends, shook hands. had a good laugh and called it a draw. All bore marks >of the con flict.
 The excitement over, Fairfield turned in again and passed the re- mainder of the night in dreaming that Yegg men were blowing up the post office.

BANKS. WILL
 CONTINUE AS
 JAIL DOCTOR
This is Statement of Com missioners Anent Ap- pointment of Jail Physi- elan by Sheriff Vollmer.

Dr. C.. Lincoln Banks, who the county commissioners say is the coun- ty jail physician, visited the North les this morning.
 "Is there any business for nae here?'' he asked Sheriff Vollmer.
 ''Not a thing" replied the sheriff. And then the doctor went away. Meanwhile pr. John W. vollmer, who was appointed jail physician by his father, Sheriff Vollmer. is attending to the inmates of the jail who require medical attention. The dispute re- garding the legality of the appoint ments is far from being settled.
 County Commissioner Simeon Pease said this morning:
 We have received no official mo- ttce that Dr. John w. Vollmer has been appointed. The statutes say that all appointments of jail em- perior court but the matter hasn't been brought before the court yet.
 And so far as Dr. Banks is con cerned you can say that he has not been re-appointed. He is employed under a contract and has been since 1899. He receives $500 year for att tending to the sick in the jail. The board considered it cheaper to hire a physician by the year than to pay for individual visits. pr. Banks will report for duty every day at the jail.
 What legal steps will be taken in case Sheriff Vollmer refuses to let Dr. Banks visit patients?" the commis- sioner was asked.
 ''I can't tell that until the occasion arises" was the reply.
 Sheriff Vollmer was later asked if he had notified the commissioners of of his sons appointment.
 II haven't yet but I'm going to-" was the reply.
 He was also asked if he had com piled with the law by obtaining the approval of the superior court
 I'm preparing the papers for that now," declared the sheriff
 So there are two persons who ex- pect to collect salary from the county by acting as jail physician.
 The sheriffs in all other counties in the state appoint the jail physi- clans.

 Mrs. Fyfe and her family live in a house on the lane which runs off Spring street, opposite the Gould grocery store. About 12:30 this morning Mrs. Fyfe heard a noise on the roof outside her bedroom window, and then saw two faces peering into the room. She sprang up and fled, screaming, while the intruders clam bered into the room.
 Her cries aroused her three daugh- ters. and her 14-year old son, who is the youngest of the family. All fled from the house and stood out side calling for help.
 The first to arrive in response to their outcries was John Drew. He had just come up and was getting the facts from the excited women,

ANTENO|SE SOCIETY
WANTS QUIET Zone
FOR SCHOOLS HERE
Mrs. Rice, of New York,
Writes District Com
... miSsioners.

In the interest of the health of pu-
pills and teachers. the establishment
of quiet zones" around the schools of
the District is urged by the Society
for the Suppression Of Unnecessary
Noises.
The efforts of the society for the
last two years. according to a letter
received by the Commissioners from
Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, of New York, pres
ident. have been devoted to the for
nation Of "quiet zones" around
schools. and to the promotion of safe
being a continuation of movement
In which 1t has been engaged for the
last three years.
"For the last two years, 1 have been
gathering material tending to show
school buildings" say Mrs Rice.
Tells of Evils.
I'm the course of my visits I have
been in class rooms where ventilation
was. practically impossible because the
admission OF fresh air brought with It
such volume of noise. Under these
circumstances the children were duh
and apathetic. and the appearance of
the teachers showed what effort was re-
quired to attract and hold the atten-
ton of the little ones. Even where cir
cumstances were less unfavorable, I
found that in the majority of cases,
street noises prevented the free opening
of the windows
"The plan to establish quiet zones
around school rooms seems to US to be
scarcely less important than the work
which In 1908 resulted In the formation
Of quiet zones around hospitals.
... Noise Causes Suffering.
THE fact that both teachers and
pupils suffer acutely from noises, and
that the work is doubled as result
thereof. was impressed upon me last
winter. At that time q petition on
this subject addressed to the board
Of aldermen was sent to the various
schools for Endorsement by those who
approved of the movement.
within two weeks almost 1900
signatures reached me. as we'll as
many touching letters"
The Commissioners forwarded Mrs.
Rice's letter to the Board of Educa-
tion with a request for an express
sion of opinion.
