A GOOD ROADS JUDGE.

Judge F.. k. Screeton, of HaZen, was in the city this week in attendance upon the McA lister trial in the circuit court. Mir Screeton is county and probate judge of Prairie county. and an ardent Good Roads enthusiast. He became acquainted Monday eyen- ing with Mir. $. P. Mcdaniel and The Times man and had long cOnyersa- ton with them regarding this matter. MT. Screeton is now serving his third term as county judge and prior to assuming the duties of that office was sheriff of Prairie county for nearly eighteen years.
 In talking of road matters he in formed the reporter that in his county he had no road commissioners, that he handled all of that end of the work himself, drew up all his plans and specifications for bridges inspected the same and accepted them when finished. according 10 those plans and specifications. He is also an automO- bile owner and runs his own car, thus being enabled to get over the county conveniently and give the roads and bridges his personal attention. He is proud of the good roads in Prairie county, and from all accounts he has a perfect right to be. Another thing that Judge Screeton mentioned, was the fact that he had called a conyen- tion of his road oyerseers to meet in Hazen at an early date, at which time it was proposed that the oyerseers get together and agree upon a uniform method of working the roads, and ex- change ideas and views upon the sub feet. He has some fine ideas and views as to road building, and is putting them into practice. We en- loved the conversation with him and would like to see some of the plans he advocates carried out in more of the counties throughout the state.

Considerable complaint has reached this office from automobile owners, of broken insulation glass being thrown on the streets where linemen are at work on the telephone lines. Mr Adolph Chilner driving Bard Nichols E. NJ. F. car Wednesday evening cut tire pretty badly on piece of this glass and there has been several other narrow escapes from damage to other cars. The throwing of broken glass of any kind on the streets is very reprehensible practice, and besides the damage 1t does to auto tires, is dangerous to the feet of stock.

 Hartford, Aug. 22.-After a long debate the Senate today passed an amended report of the committee on an appropriation of $36,000 for re- pairs to the armory at Bridgeport.
 The Senate receded and concurred propriation of s5O,000 for the repair Fairfield counties.
 act made its appearance in the House today, the product of Representative Ensign and Russell, members of the ing reject the original bill after it had passed the Senate.
 Senator Barnum is the Senate member of the committee. He is not in accord with the compromise meas ure.
 The essential features of the new bill are: That employees must elect before they are injured whether they will accept the provisions of the act or sue for damages under the com mon law.
 The clause in the original bill which exempted farmers has been eliminated entirely and in it's place there is a provision exempting all em- ployers of labor employing less than seven men.
 It reduces the maximum rate of compensation from 60 per cent. for eight years to 50 per cent for six years and creates a mutual insurance plan whereby employers may protect themselves.

paratus arrived on the scene.''
 Harbor Master Morris thinks that a fire boat might serve the double purpose of acting as fire boat and a1- that there is nightly thievery along the water front and that the only means of protection from it consists in a fire boat doing patrol duty
 Fire Chief Mooney, while he be- lieves fire boats are good things, does not accord with the harbor master as to the advisability of Bridgeport's purchasing one.
 "A good fire boat, capable of doing any real service, costs s120,OO0 to purchase and S2O,OOO year to main tain," declared Chief Mooney
 This idea of taking tug boat and mounting pumps on her, isn't worth while. In the first place, that kind of fire boat couldn't throw enough of stream to make any particular getting to fires and probably out of the way taking a tow when it was most needed.
 ''I don't think that Bridgeport eau afford to purchase regular fire boat, and that's the only kind that would do any good.
 ''The big water front factories have sprinkler systems and fire protection of their own. in addition to the city's fire protection. Take the lumber yards, and the thing that's important there is to get the blaze quenched at the start. Once started, all the water in the river couldn't put it out. A fire boat would be slow in getting 70 the blaze, and after the fire was started. it wouldn't be of any service whatever unless it could throw at least a and F inch stream. A fire boat. properly equipped, speedy, and with powerful pumps, costs S12O,OOO. Such things are all right for big cities like Brooklyn and New York, but they wouldn't pay for their cost here. A tug boat equipped with pumps isn't worth anything

It became known today that the police have been vainly seeking since Saturday for clues to aid them in solving the mystery of the disappear ance of little leather bag containing s507 from the shipyard of the Lake Torpedo Boat Co.,
 The haul was made in midday while there was a temporary lulI in the noon hour, of the shipyard activities The pay roll was the largest that has been made up for that particular branch of the Lake enterprises, and according to Simon Lake, the fnven- tor of submarines and head Of the company, the robbery was committe by one familiar with the. practices of the shipyard.
 All the money was put up for the paying off of the shipyard employees. It was in envelopes containing vari ous sums, from small amounts for helpers to envelopes of considerable value for the expert workmen employ ed in the building of the submarine vessels
 There are two offices in the Lake Torpedo Boat Co.'S plant at the foot of Seaview avenue. One is the main office, the other the yard office. The latter is in charge of Foster l.. flaw kins, the superintendent of construc- tion work, who lives at 1156 Noble avenue.

HARBOR MASTER THINKS THAT WE
 NEED FIRE BOAT
Chief Mooney Doesn t Agree-Says a Good One Would Be Too Expen-
 Slve Doesn't Think that a Tug boat Equipped with Pumps Would Be Worth Anything.

Harbor Master Charles Morris be- lieves that last nights fire in the steamer Mary Lewis at the wharf of the Lewis Oyster company, indicated the need of a fire boat for the pro- lection of water front property along the city. Fire Chief Mooney is not wholly in accord with his views
 'If it hadn't happened that they discovered that fire just at it's start, and were able to put it out before it got headway," declared Harbor Mas ter Morris, .'the fire might have de- stroyed a whole fleet of ships that were in at that wharf at the time
 '"There was a brisk breeze blowing, and in just the direction to carry the fire to the other ships. Fortunately they discovered the fire right at it's start and it happened that there is a pipe line out along the wharf from which the ships take water. But for this the fire might have gained great headway As it was, they succeeded in getting it out before the fire ap-

that we are absolutely opposed to granting this right to the railroad in our city. I believe that Bridgeport is capable of deciding this question without legislative dictation. The Common Council of our city have all ready placed themselves on record s:s opposed to the ten foot center pro- position and I do not think that Sen ators want to vote for a bill which would inflict a hardship on any To- cality or in act legislation detrimental to their welfare and in face of their unanimous opposition. trust this bill will be defeated.
 Senator Garry Paddock of Bridge port also opposed the bill. He said that Bridgeport had given 10 foot centers on Congress street but was opposed to allowing them on narrow streets. On motion of Senator Fenn of Hartford, Senator McNeils motion to reject the bill was amended to in- definitely postpone the entire matter in concurrence with the House. This was agreeable to Senator McNeil and that action was taken.

 When Harrington returned to the office, he noticed that he had neglect ed to lock. the door On leaving the place for lunch. When he went 60 the drawer to get the pay roll iss shape for the men, he was aztonishe1 to discover that it was missing. Tse at once sent the alarm to the main office.
 Both MT. Hawkins and young Har- rington are trusted employees of f11si company, and neither had experiencedl any such trouble before Harringtonf at once acquainted Hawkins with a1Ik the circumstances of the robbery, andi Hawkins, who is a bonded empIoye. drew his personal check for thet amount of the stolen money, and pro-. ceeded with the payment of the men.
 Then he and Harrington started al diligent inquiry among the shipyarts employees. Neither could gather al single bit of information to guide tfemt to the identity of the thief BoffsI were convinced, however, that tf1a{ man who took the money must hava{ been thoroughly well acquainted wltfI the practices of the company, sndI they were equally impressed with -thel fact that the robbery occurred wheni the cash amounted to more than 0ni any other pay day in their department of the yards
 Despairing of solving the nysteryg themselves, they then called in thet police, who vent secretly to work on { the case. Bug so far they hare mstf with little more success than either Hawkins or Harrington.
