the large audience.
The film shows the selection of the
winning boats of the Motor Boat Club

Several Cities Want Alleged Bad
 Check PaSser

Joseph Taylor. alias w. J. T. Will lis, arrested by Detective Sergeant Cronan at Hartford, a year ago, and brought here yesterday on completion of jail term in Hartford county, was arraigned in the city court today charged with passing a. worthless check for SPA upon the Atlantic Hotel.
 When Cronan located Taylor at Hartford the authorities of that place wanted. first whack at him. On the completion of his sentence Cronan was notified. When the Bridgeport authorities are through with him, Meriden wants a chance at him.
 Taylor's scheme was to pose as an agent for the International Manufac- turing Co. of Midd1etown. This was a soap concern, with its principal of fee under Taylor's hat, according 10 the police.
 He asked Judge Wilder this morn ing to continue his case until he could confer with counsel and his re- quest was granted. He will be brought into court again on Friday Meanwhile he is lodged in jail in de- fault of ball.

 Rruno was witness to an assault that occurred i nhis place, last night. He was summoned to appear at Po- lice headquarters at 8:3O this fore noon. The alarm clock didn't worx He overslept and consequently when he reached court, Judge Wilder inn posed a fine of s5 and costs amount ing altogether to $S.97. Bruno knew he was late and he had brought the alarm clock by way of explanation
 But Judge Wilder gave him no time to explain and Bruno was so hot un- der the collar after he paid his fine that he demolished the offending timepiece.

She said less thar a year ago that politics had ca used her downfall and drink her .'uin. that Hate caucuses and political conferences had placed her on the highball path.''
 She started her career as an actress in September, 1873 appearing in Els nleralda." She developed into a po- l1tical strategist and her friends from 1885 to 1895 included Governors and prominent politicians.
 . Af ser the defeat of the Populists, Mrs. IJaAor conducted .. school Of elc- cution, then she resorted to the mak- ing of hair tonies md dyes. She was reduced to state of abject poverty and lived by begging.

Mrs. Moran Wanted To Save Husband She Didn't Come as Witness and Spends Night in Cell Following Arrest on
 Capias

Mrs. Annie Moran, wife of Peter Moran who was sentenced to jail for 80 days, in the city court, yesterday, for wife beating, spent last night in cell herself.
 She failed to answer a subpoena to testify against her husband and by direction of Judge Wilder was arrest ed on @ capias.
 She volunteered the explanation to- day that neighbor living in Arm strong place, John Thornhil1, told he- that if she didn't go to court, her husband wouldn't be punished
 The authorities took Thornhilrs name and address for reference. Mrs. Moran was badly bruised from her beating, and that coupled with her night in the cell was deemed by Judge Wilder ample punishment for her failure to comply with the sum- mons.
