the side walk. On closer observa-
ton he picked up several other bills
amounting to about $50 beside sew

Mr.. Schafer promptly informed the
clerk, Frank Grimm, of his find
whereupon Frank realized the fact
that in cleaning up the waste paper
he had thrown the wealth out the
door as waste paper. 1t is needless
to say that Frank executed a snake

Worth Thinking About

And aside from a county pride
which insists upon a county capitol
in keeping with the wealth and dig
nifty of its citizenship, the man
who owns real estate will vote for
the court house proposition for self
protection. Everybody knows there
is not a fireproof vault in the pres
ent structure. Everybody knows
it is an old tinderbox that would
defy all efforts to quench the flames
if they once got good Roadway.
Everybody knows this would mean
the loss of records and papers of
personal value to every property
owner. Without them it would be
impossible to establish titles except
after costly court procedure, which
would mean stagnation in real es-
tate values, endless litigation in the
courts, and an era of prosperity
among the lawyers such as they
never experienced before. The act
ual cost to the county in one year,
aside from the losses to the indi-
vidual citizen, would be more than
sufficient to pay for a $1OO,0OO.OO
court house The experiences OF
Montgomery and other counties
along this line should be enough to
awaken Monroe county people to
the possibilities of the situation. Fol
these reasons, and others that might
be named, an overwhelming MAORI

work and vote for the proposition

PROMOTER OF
FIGHTS UNDER
CRAVE CHARGE
Well Known South Norwalk
Man Under Arrest Here
for Attempted Indecent
Assault.

Joseph Mulvihill, Of South Norwalk,
one of the best known sporting pro-
moters in the State, was arrested here
last night at 1880 o'clock on the
charge of attempted indecent assault
upon Meyer Isenburg, aged Il, a news
boy residing at 353 Ogden street.
Mulvihill was arraigned in the City
court here this morning. Bonds OF
$1,000 were fixed in lieu Of which Null
vihill went to jail.
The arrest Of the sporting promoter
came about in an unusual way and
was the result Of the sharpness OF
Patrolman Bray. who saw Mulvihill
and the boy going toward a dark por-
ton Of the railroad viaduct at the foot
of Wall street near the Schwarzchild
and Sulzberger Office.
Suspecting that something was
wrong, Officer Bray cautiously fol-
lowed the couple and approached
within hearing distance without being
noticed by them.
He overheard enough Of the con-
versation., 1t is alleged, to confirm his
worst suspicious. The boy was un-
willing to comply with the mans de-
mands, it is alleged, and Officer Bray
heard Mulvihil1 say,
''I'11 give you dollar
you'll come to the police station,
that's what you'll do,'' exclaimed
Bray, interrupting the conversation
at this point He arrested Mulvihill
who was arraigned at headquarters
on the technical charge of ''held for
investigation" which this morning
was changed to the very serious al
legation of attempted indecent as
sault.
Mulvihill is said to have been dis
tinctly under the influence Of liquor
last night and not aware of what he
was doing.
TO the sporting fraternity Mulvi-
hills arrest, especially on such a
charge, will come as a distinct shock.
He has served as manager for a num-
Der of well known pugilists and in his
town of South Norwalk and elsewhere
the State has promoted
prize-fights and other sporting events.

TO ASK FOR A
HALL OF RECORDS
Petition to Be Presented to
the Common Council
Tonight
Judge A. B. Beers Says Such
a Building Is Urgently
Required = Calls Atten-
tion to Crowded Condition
of Present Quarters.

A petition will be presented to the
Board of Aldermen this evening ask
ing that steps be taken to bring about
the erection of a hall of records in the
center of the city. The lawyers and
real estate men of the city claim that
such a building Is a necessity be-
cause of the crowded condition of the
vault in the town clerks office where
it is now impossible for lawyers and
clerks to search records unless they
are among the first half dozen to ar
employees of the title searching con-
Germs in the vault, members of the
Board of Assessors. to say nothing of
the employees of the office who have to
use the vault OF late it has been
necessary for citizens desiring to get
into the vault to work nights.
Judge Alfred B. Beers said this
morning that the petition would do
nothing further than ask for the
building. Further he said: There
has been talk Of putting two wings
on the City Hall. one to the eastward
and one to the westward. But such
a thing would be impossible on the
west side because the ground there
was decided to the city several years
ago for public square purposes. 1t
must always be used for that purpose.

at the rear of the Sturdevant building
adjoining the east green that might
be secured for the building. The
structure need not necessarily be a
large one. 1t should be fireproof and
large enough to accommodate the Of
flee of the town clerk, judge of pro-
bate. and city engineers office which
have the valuable records of the city.
By cons S1ructing the building absolute
ly fireproof of stone and steel. it would
not be necessary to have any vaults
in it for the security of all books and
MAPS
Asked what he thought the cost Of
such a building would be. Judge Beers
had no figures to offer, although he
a two story building. He
added that the building would make
room in the City Hall for the Mayor
to have his office on the ground floor
and would provide more room for the
Board of Education as we'll, and pro-
vide offices for the Fire Commission
and the Health Department who are
now quartered outside of the City

flames to end their lives. One of
their number attempted to make. a
dash for liberty just as the police
swarmed into the building, but he

There were only 300 policemen in

these were unarmed, as is usual with
London police. They surrounded an
tire block IN the middle East London
