New Rochelle Authorities Ar rest Three Men Wanted
 Here For Robbery

Three men said to be wanted in ed in New Rochelle, yesterday, one of them by the daring and courage of a young woman who trapped the man while he was on the point of making his escape from the police.
 The local authorities are waiting to hear further from New Rochelle concerning the matter. The New York Sun of this morning tells the story as follows:
 New Rochelle, Dec. 12-Miss Mollie Burk of North avenue captured fu- gitive three times her size who was escaping last night from the police.
 Lieut. Frank Cody and Detective Joseph Faneli were walking through about 6 o'clock when they saw three men whispering together under tree. When the men saw the policemen they started to run. Two of them ran to- ward North avenue and the third made off across yards in the direc- lowed by Fanelli and Cody went af- ter the two others. After long chase through Burling Lane, Cody caught one of the men, threw him, and snapping his handcuffs on the mans ankles left him to the crowd that followed while he continued the chase after the other fugitive The man, who weighs about 200 pounds, doubled and dashed back toward North avenue, running through yards. hurdfhg hedges and fences until he reached the home of Charles J. Burk at Burling Lane and North avenue.
 Miss Mollie Burk. who was enter ing her home, heard the policeman s whistle and the, crashing through hedges and saw the man leap into her yard and start for the gate. As he came toward her she screamed and grabbed him. The man dragged her and then turned to beat her of. She lodged and held on until Cody came up and fandcuffed the man.
 Fanelli caught the other man after chasing him for nearly mile through back yards. The police say the three are wanted in Bridgeport, Conn, for robbery. They gave their names as John Pino, Joseph H. .Legari and Mi chael Kane, all of Boston, Mass.

WEALTHY WOMAN SENTENCED TO
 THREE MONTHS
Mrs. Evers Goes to Blackwell's Island For Cruelty Beating
 Her Pseudo Ward
Especial from United Press )

New York, Dec. 12.-Mrs. B. Virginia Evers, whose husband, Frederick E. Evers, is rated in commercial agen- cies at more than $500, GOO and whose real wealth is said to be far above a million dollars, today, was sentenced to serve three months in the peniten- tiary on Blackwelfs Island on the charge of cruelty beating Alice Eliza beth Randolph, her pseudo ward.
 Prison officials declare Mrs. Evers is the wealthiest woman ever sent to the penitentiary from New York
 With many of her society friends at her side, Mrs. Evers collapsed in court when sentence was pronounced and had to be carried back to the Tombs She will be taken to the Island this afternoon to begin sentence.
 The district attorney today filed ar affidavit setting forth the percentage of the little child Mrs. Evers SC cruelty beat, but this will be kept secret as the child's mother is hap oily married. The. child was remand ed to the Gerry Society.
 Mrs. Evers was arrested two weeks ago at the instance of the Children's Society, which charged that she had cruelty beaten the 11-year-old child with riding crop.
 Mrs. Evers declined to tell the po- lice anything about the child's parent age and the mystery of the child's parentage was not cleared up until yesterday, when it's grandfather told the story to District Attorney Whit man.

ABOUT TWELVE DAYS IN JAIL
 FOR g TAXES
That is the Average Term Esfi- mated by Prosecutor For Personal Tax DeIin-
 quents

Twelve days in jail is the averazs term that wfll befa1l the man who refuses to pay his personal tax, ae- cording to the estimate of Prosecut- = ing Attorney Alexander Delaney his morning.
 Attorney Delaney has not yet be- gun the issuance of warrants for per- sonal tax truants,. but will soon do so.
 According to the prosecutors view Of the State tax law, it is suff7c5eng for the personal tax collector to make one personal demand for the tax. CT if the citizen from whom the tax fs to be collected is not at home. f0 leave a notice at his house. Tf fs then "up to- Mir Citizen to call at City Hall and pay his tax or be ar rested.
 The tax is g, and the city court costs will bring the sum up to about $6. Then with taf1 costs, Sund4Hz- and other expenses figured in. ft EfIf take a term of about 12 days in 5a5I to work off the tax without the pay men tof any cash.
 For every offender thus incaTeer- ated, the county of Fairfield must pay g to the city of Bridgeport. If a lot of tax offenders are sent to fafL 1t wtli be a sad day for the treasury of Fairfield county, for the jail ex- penses will amount to quite a 1of Sn addition to s2 apiece for the taxes.

Governor Baldwin Tells Farmers Of
 Their Advantage
Chief Executive Addresses Four Hundred Husbandmen at Meeting of State Board of Agriculture in Eagles Hall Today
Hon. Joseph Wing Tells How
 Alfalfa May be. Raised in C0nnecticut-Three Days Ses- sion and Banquet is Planned

That one need not look to the West to find farm land in the movement back to the soil, was what Governor Simeon E. Baldwin told 400 farmers who gathered in Eagles hall this morning at the opening session of the three days meeting of the State Board of Agriculture. While profit ing by the experiences of the West ern farmer, Gov. Baldwin said that the Connecticut farmers enjoyed a distinct advantage of which they should make use in the fact that their Bridgeport, almost within their very doors, while the markets of the West ern farmers were hundreds of miles from their farms.
 At the opening session this morning Mayor Clifford B. Wilson welcomed the State board and it's guests. Will son H. Lee of Orange, vice president of the board, presided at the meeting. Rev John DePeu gave the invocation, and a very Interesting address on al- falfa was given by the Hon. Joseph Wing of Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Hon. Mr. Wing said that farms planted to alfalfa would yield six times the value to an acre of any other crop. He answered number of questions con- corning the treatment of soil with lime and fertilizers This afternoon MT. Wing is speaking on the cheaper production if milk by means of home raised proteins and also touching up- on some phases of the housing prob lem.
 Hon. David Snedden, commissioner State Board of Education of Massa- chusetts, is giving this afternoon an address on the present movement for agricultural education in Massacfu- setts.

Personal Tax
 Collectors vindicalet
Much Abused Men Assuredly Got Results Despite Unpopu-.
 larity of Their Mission

Disclosure by The Farmer of yester- day of the vast amount of work ac- complished by the personal tax col lectors, vindicates the appointment oi these three competent men by Former Mayor Buckingham.
 Critics of the former administration dwelt at length upon the waste o1 money in salaries to. these three men But comparison of the amount of money taken up by the personal tax collectors with the record of former years here as well as with other Con- necticut cities, is an eloquent refuta- tion of such criticism.
 Only by devising complete system If records, and checking up from day to day, their individual work, have the collectors succeeded in gathering what approximates $29,0O0. This has involved vast amount of cOrrespon- dence An, idea of the effectiveness of this work may be gleaned from the fact that returns have been received from California, a number. of Cana dian provinces, and dozens of different states. Score Of returns have been received from Massachusetts and New York state, and many have come into the office from other towns and cities in Connecticut.
 The personal tax collectors received from the registrars the names of
 
 ment From these they had to make their exemptions, hundreds of them, and then set out to collect. The col lectors took office February 1, 1911. The tax was due and payable before June 1, 1911
 The collection of the tax from Eng lish speaking people thoroughly famil- far with the customs and language of the country was comparatively sim pie. But the collectors were obliged to make a demand upon all male resi- dents, whether citizens or not between 21 and 60 and in many instances they have found their work discouraging.
 Adverse criticism of their methods of their appointments, and false charges of inertia in their office, com bined to make their work difficult. But despite these obstacles, they kept plugging steadily at their taxes from day to day until it was learned yes terday that they had collected from more than 14,OO0 people.
 The registrars of voters are already at work upon the list for the collec- tors for 1911. All men residing here Nov. 1, 1911, are to be included Un- der the new law the tax is due before March 1, 1912, three months earlier than last year.

FORCER
 WITH NEW GAME
 WORKS STORES
Clever Schemer Cashes Two Bad Checks This Morning Pretended to Have Office in Big Building

Two drug stores and possibly sev- eral other business firms were touch ed up, for $10 apiece by a check forg- CT with a new game this morning. By the time that the checks had been disclosed as bad, the culprit had made his escape from the city.
 The method used by the fellow was something new and showed him to be a little more clever than the ordinary swindler-
 Hartigan's and Gardner's drug stores were the ones to suffer. His methods was as follows: Calling up the store he would say, T am Mr.-, my of ing. Please send me a 50 cent bottle of promo seltZer at once, and have your boy bring change for a $1o check''
 The drug stores in question, suppos- ing that a man who had an office in one of the big office buildings was all right would send the drug and the $9.50 change as required. The man would meet the messenger in the cor ridor of the building, pretending to be going down stairs just as the mes senger arrived.
 Oh were you looking for me-" he would say, '"I told your store to send change for the check, did you bring it?" and would produce the bad check, and take the goods and the change
 In one case he used the Security building to work the game, in another case the Newf1eld building. When last seen he was "dusting it'' for the rail- road station.
 The checks were drawn on the Staples bank to George Langdon, and signed by Harry Larsen and endors- ed by George Langdon, Harry Larsen and R. J. Hannah, all fictitious per. sonages.

CORONER ORDERS DETENTION OF

Through a misunderstanding be- tween Acting Coroner Henry c. Stew enson and the police authorities. Rosaria DeLucia and Joseph DeLucia. brothers-in-law of Rosaria Martelli, the Italian cobbler murdered in his shop on West avenue on Friday night, were. released from custody last evening, after having been de- tained at police headquarters all day for questioning.
 issued warrants for the arrest of the two DeLucias, with instructions to hold them until he has completed his inv vestigation of the circumstances surrounding the crime.
 Coroner Stevenson Is not at all sat isfied with the aspects of the case concerning the relatives of the mur- dered man. Onslearning that the two brothers-in-law were released this morning he was surprised, as he had intended having them held although he had not issued a warrant. He immediately made out ,coroner's war rants for the detention of the two men and will conduct an inquest at which they will be thoroughly questioned.
 The police authorities are satisfied that the DeLucia brothers have not told all they know concerning the murder of their sisters husband; at the same time the police did not have sufficient evidence against the broth CTS to warrant holding them on sus- picion. 7
 The issuance of warrants by tf1e coroner this morning cleared up this phase of the situation and officers were sent out at once to locate the DeLucia brothers and hold them for the coroner
 Mayor Clifford B. Wilson is still of f1ciaIly coroner of Bridgeport, but Judge Stevenson, who is deputy cor oner, will probably act on all cases arising henceforth until Coroner Will son's resignation is accepted and his successor appointed.
 The questioning of the DeLucia brothers by the authorities yesterday only added to the mystery surround ing the murder.~of the unfortunate Martello.
