EX-JuDGE WARNER
 DECLARED GUILTY
Missing Woodbury Official Must Repay $11,80O to Es- tate He Administered

Winsted, March 1.-Ex-Judge Ar thur D. Warner of Woodbury, was criticised in decision of Judge Will liam s. Case of the Superior Court given out here yesterday afternoon.
 Ex-Judge Warner is held to account by the court for $11,S71 belonging to the $f90. .000 estate of George B. the administrator. The present loca- ton of Warner is unknown here When last heard of he was in North ern Massachusetts. Whether criminal action will be brought against him could not be learned.
 Warner was charged by the estate with having presented a false inven- tory and accountings with intent to defraud the beneficiaries of the es- tate. The case was tried here almost year ago after being in the courts since June, 1904. It attracted wide attention in the State. There were 35 counts in the complaint.
 The suit was brought by consent of the Woodbury Provate Court for the benefit of Betsy A. Lewis of New Ha- ven, one of the legal heirs under the will of George B. Lewis and for Charles G. Lewis of Southbury, and A. W. Mitchell of Woodbury, as exc Lewis of Woodbury. and also George l.. Booth, Mary E. Booth, Emma Capeb. and Ella N. Jolly of Fayette, N. r., children of Jerusha Booth, sfs- ter of George B. Lewis, and Betsy A. Lewis, as assignee of Charles L. Booth. Damages of $20,000 were

ROBIN CHANGES
 PLEA TO GUILTY
Jerome Now Knows That the Bank WreCker is Surely
 Crazy
(SpeciaI from United Press. )

I New York, March 1.-The trial of Joseph G. Robin, banker and promot- CT whose financial pyramid was ] smashed some weeks ago when the | Northern Bank & Allied Institutions controlled by him were closed by the state banking and insurance commis- sioners collapsed. today Robin, aft CT a stormy scene with his counsel, William Travers Jerome, withdrew his plea of not guilty to an lndlct- ment charging him with the larceny of $27000 from the Washington Say ings Bank, which was allied with the Northern, and pleaded guilty.
 Just before this was done Jerome was granted the right to withdraw as Robins lawyer by Justice Seabury, who was presiding at the trial. In from the start he had believed Robin insane, his action, today. conclusively proved it, in his opinion.
 The courtroom was damned with victims of the collapsed Robin banks when the prisoner was brought over from the Tombs. He half smiled as he gazed at the jury selected to try him which had required two days to sift from a panel of 200 men. His sister, pr. Louis Robinovitch, em- conferred in whispers. Then she started over and tried to talk with Jerome but the latter angrfiy told her to ''get away" and she sat down.
 District Attorney Whitman asked that sentence of the banker be de- ferred until March 27.
 "I want to use Robin and his sis ter, Dr. Louise Robinovitch, in secur- ing other convictions" said Whitman. They can aid justice in punishing persons responsible for conditions found by the state officials"
 Robin was taken back to his cell.
 "You can fool the alienists easily enough and you can fool the lawyers" said Robin in explaining his changed attitude, "but you cannot fool the people with common sense. Because believed this I decided to take no chances with the jury but to plead guilty and then to do everything ! could to assist the authorities"

THEY COULDN'T
 GET RID OF HIM
 QUICKLY ENOUGH
Man Who Applied For a Berth in Hospital Had a Nice
 Case of Diphtheria

Joseph Principe, a laborer employed in the Singer Mfg. Co.,, walked from his boarding house, SIS East Main street, the home of Leonardo Mainero up to the Bridgeport hospital this morning. He said he wanted to be- come a patient. He had sore throat and felt bad all over.
 Superintendent Jones looked the ap- plicant over a moment and became suspicious that he didn't realize what was the trouble. It took but a little observation to show that Principe had a life-sized attack of diphtheria.
 The superintendent placed Principe in a quiet corner where his germs wouldn't become unduly excited, then ,telephoned for Health Officer E. A. Mcclellan.
 Dr. Mcclellan in his automobile sped over to the hospital from his office in the Police & Charities building, bundled the patient into the machine and hurried him to the isolation hos pital, much to the chagrin of Prin- cipe. The patient expected to get a nice berth in the Bridgeport hospital, where he had visited friends and where the surrounding had appealed to him as comfortable. But the Iso- lation hospital did not measure up to his ideas of comfort However, he must stay there until the anti-toxin does it's work.

Jefferson cavis and His Nerves.

Jefferson Davis shrank from the sight of every form of suffering, even in imagination. When the Babes In the Wood" was first read to him, a grown man, in time of illness, he would not endure the horror of it. His sympathy with the oppressed was almost abnormal, 'so that" says Mrs. Davis, 'it was difficult matter to keep order with children and serv- ants." All this shows that he was nervous, sensitive. which is a terrible handicap to leader of men. He suf- fered always from nervous dyspepsia and neuralgia and "came home from his office fasting, a mere mass of throbbing nerves and perfectly ex- hausted." He was keenly susceptible to the atmosphere about him, especial ly to the moods of people, abnormal ly sensitive to disapproval. Even a child's disapproval discomposed him. |" And Mrs. Davis admits that tfiis sen sitiveness and acute feeling of being misjudged made him reserved and un- approacbable. It made him touchy as to his dignity also. and there are sto- ries of his cherishing a grudge for some insignificant or imagined slight and punishing the author of it.-Gama- liel Bradford, Jr., in Atlantic.

lrxina and His Money,

John Hare, the English actor, said that one of the failings charged to Irving's account was that of extrava- gance--that he did not know the value of money. It is quite true he did not know the value of money for himself, but he knew it's value to others. He knew it's value to the poor and help less, and to these he gave with a lavish hand.
 Once, not long before his death, playing a three nights engagement in an unpretentious midland town, his habit was to drive nightly to the thea ter Ca very short distance from his hoteD in the same dilapidated fly. The fare was a shilling. The conveyance was shabby, the driver old, poor and worn out. At the conclusion of the engagement, on entering his hotel, Irv- ing said to the landlord, Have you paid the cabman?' "Yes, Sir Henry" What did you give him for himself?" T gave him half crown, Sir Henry" "Give him a sovereign was the re- joinder; "he drives very well, and he doesn't drive often"

PROCRESS|vES AND INDEPENDENTS AGAINST MACHINE POLITICIANS
 IN COMING CHICAGO ELECTION

paign slogan having been seventy cent gas.'
 Harrison's nomination is all the more startling when his vote is conn pared with that of John R. Thomp- son, who received the backing of the Republican county machine and who was regarded as a staunch LOrim CT advocate. Merriam's vote more than doubled that of Thompson, the pro- gressive reformer having boiled 54,- 228 while Thompson's vote was only 2s.1os. .
 'I attribute my nomination." said Merriam, today, "to the eager accept ance by the voters of the opportunity offered them by the direct primary law and to an uprising for progressive ifested itself only in national express sion. The voters of Chicago believe tho city's resources should be con- served just as much as the nations resources for the benefit of the com munity at large and not for few special interests"
 The nomination of Harrison may precipitate a fight in the Democratic ranks that will not end with the primary. There is chance that Ed ward F. Dunne, defeated for the Democratic, nomination, will contest. show that Harrison received 55.o6s votes while Dunne polled 53,513. Dunne claims that the figures are crooked" and cites the vote in the first ward where the 'tHinkey Dink- Bathhouse John" combination rolled up 2,400 majority for Harrison.
 "H1nkey Dink" Kenna,, Senator Lorimer's newesboy friend, raised such a vote in the first ward for aI- derman that thefe was mo second"

Seaside Council, No. 709, R. A., holds the next meeting Friday evening, March 3, at Sturdevant Hall. This is to be quite an event, it being Past ized in 1882. and there are great many of the old timers still alive who will give g. review of the council his tory during their administration. This should be very interesting to all of the members. The teams for the car pet bowl tournament are to be select ed. There is quite some interest manifested in this game, being played on entirely new lines. As many of the members can join in the contest as desire to, it being understood that the losers buy the winners a dinner. The tickets for the attendance prize will be issued. This will be a most enjoyable evening and the members and R. A. members at large are ur- gently requested to be out in force.

 Judson nolled the charge against Kissner which implied the man was a genuine white slayer and Delaney sub- stftuted a minor charge He and Prosecutor Delaney encountered unex- pected difficulties in securing evil dence as to the supposed immoral re- sort in New Haven to which Kissner is alleged to have guided Martha Mitchell F, who is now in the Home of the Good Shepherd, Hartford.

AND THEIR VOTE.
Special from United Pres,

Chicago, March With Alderman Charles D. Merriam as the Republi- can nominee and Carter H. Harrisoa as the Democratic candidate for may or of Chicago as the result of yes- terday's primaries, politicians declar- ed. today, that the impending cam paign would be the bitterest in Chi cago's history with progressive Re- publicans and independents lined up against the machine politicians of both parties.
 The general election for mayor and city officers will be held on April 4.
 That Merriam's defeat of the candi- dates of the Republican city and county organization was a complete victory for the progressives within his own party and for those voters who are independent of party was the as- sertion made, today, by Merriam and his campaign managers.
 Harrisons defeat of Andrew J. Graham, the Roger Sullivan ''big business" candidate, is regarded in political circles, today, as a complete overthrow of Sullivan's dominating of Cook County and Illinois politics and a serious blow at the gas magnate's business interests, Harrison's cam

The Myth of the Doones.

How largely Mir. Blackmore drew upon his imagination for the story of Lorna Doone" is made clear by F. W. Hackwood in bis book, "The Good Old Times" There were, in fact, no Doones. The word was simply a local bogy, modified form of ''Dane," a memory of the faroff times when the viking invaders harried the land. '"The only vestige of actuality discoverable is faint tradition that fugitive from the battle of Sedgmoor, to escape the hangings of Judge Jeffreys, appropriat- ed the ruins of some wretched huts in recesses of the Badgworthy glen. now the Doon valley finding there a safe retreat in which he reared a consider able family, which managed to eke out a living by committing petty depreda- tions in the district The last of the Doones, an old man and his grand daughter, are said to have perished in the snow during the winter of 1SOO."

He Made Them Listen.

~X' Beidler, the old vigilante leader of Montana, was elected sheriff of Lewis and Clark county, in which Hel. ena is situated. During Beidler's incumbency the jail was rebuilt and one of the new fashioned steel cages for the prisoners installed. Beidler invited all the notables down to see the cage when it was completed. The governor and the state and city off. cials and many prominent citizens ac. cepted the invitation. TX" took them into cage and excused himself for 8 minute. He went out and locked the door. Then he took a chair and sat down outside
 ''Now, dern ye," he said to the i'm prisoned notables, we've bin edgin' off lately when was tellin' my stories of the old days an not hstenin' to lem. Now I reckon yell listen."
