 Hoefer, who is a we'll known StamA ford architect, brought divorce pro. ceedings against his wife, Elizabeth Hoefer, whom he married April 23, 1895, alleging imf1de:ity and naming Ochs as correspondent.

However, the property is still int his wife's name and is being enjoy-i ed by Husband No. 2. much to the; humiliation of Hoefer.

Fl Paso. March 15-Despite the re- uuest of the American State Depart snent for the release of Edward Blatt and Lawrence Converse, American boys imprisoned at Juarez, the Mexi- can government is not expected to take any action for some time.
 Officials at Juarez declare they will do nothing until they receive direct orders from the Diaz government.

FRANK STORY OF RUNAWAY BOY
 MOVES WILDER
Burt Cromwell Preferred George Junior Republic to Reform School and Is| to Have His Way if Possi- ble.

Burt Cromwell, IA, runaway boy, arrested at dusk last evening, told a story apparently so frank and sim cere when called to the witness stand in the city court today that Judge Wilder would not consent to commit him to the States Reform school. though representatives of the County Home, whose ward the lad is, asked that such disposition be made of the case.
 Cromwell was an inmate of the county home for several months when to Postmaster John Davis of Wilton, Conn. Last December he ran away from home and found a temporary home at 1072 Hancock avenue, this city, but he was quickly located and returned to Wilton.
 ''Pd rather go to the George Junior republic said the boy, after the court had placed him in charge of Probation Officer Garfield with in- structions to place him in the Litch- field institution if possible. When I'm grown up I won't have to feel the disgrace of the Reform school. Maybe I could live it down, though, but I think it would be much easier for me in the Republic. I don't know much about either place.
 Upon the witness stand the boy said he ran away because he had to work too hard. County Commission CT John Brophy, secretary of the board of directors of the home, ques- toned the lad, and asked him why he had to work so hard, he didn't re- port it to the visitor representing the home, who made calls at the Davis farm.
 Cromwell said he had to work sev- en days a week, at farm and garden work, besides going to school and church He tired of the hard work, and decided to go out to get a home for himself last Monday. When he reached Bridgeport he got a place to sleep in the West End ma barn, and next day he secured a home in Railroad avenue, where he was going to work for his board and clothes.

Especial to the Farmerl

Hartford, March 1.-The city court salary bill will come out of the conn mittee on cities and boroughs, without a referendum to the people of Bridge port, but 1t will not be the stout and able bodied grab that was presented to the committee, and it will have cer- tain merits, such as they are, not pres ent in the existing plan.
 The bill provides for total increase of $3.700 in the salaries of the six of ficers of the court, but since fees and per diems amounting to s2,2Oo are eli minated the actual increase is $1,5O0.
 The following salaries as provided in the draft of the bill as prepared by Senator F. A. Bartlett:
 Judge $2,6OO, an increase of about $500. The present salary is $1,500, but 1t is supplemented with $500 for ser vice on the civil side of the court. All

Mr.. DIX IN SECOND PLACE.

The list of appointments announced
plainly the relative Importance Of
Charles +. Murphy, of Tammany Hall,
aud Governor John 4. Dix. 1t has been
a matter of political gossip for many
days that Mr.. Murphy aud Mr.. Dix had
widely varying ideas as to the man 70
Ec chosen counsel for the new commits
sion. Mr.. Dix, naturally. was deeply in
terestcd, as the place Is one of much
importance and the creation Of this new
commission has been the one act of the
Dix administration worthy Of the term
constructive"
Mr. Dix wanted Mr.. George +. Deck
er, of Rochester, in that place. The list
of appointments shows that Mr.. George
V. S. Williams. of Brooklyn, obtained It,,
with Mr.. Decker for an assistant. Mr..
Decker was counsel to Mr.. Thomas Mott
Osborne, Mr.. Dix's reform Forest,
Fish and Game Commissioner. He has
made long study Of water power de-
yelopment and its legal side, and helped
draft the law which created the COnser-
walton Commission. Mr.. Williams was
the man through whom the Murphy
Corners combination tried, in 1908, TO
take the Kings County Democracy away
from the late Senator McCarren. Nc
Carren's slogan in that campaign, it will
be remembered, was "Shall the Tiger
Cross the Bridge" Mr.. Williams is
said TO be an estimable individual and
reputable lawyer. As counsel to the
Conservation Commission he IS, unques-
tiOnably, fortunate in having Mr.. Deck
or for an assistant. Just so. Governor
Dix is fortunate, in contest with Mr.
Murphy, to have landed even in second
place.

The action of the American govern

Mexican insurgents, is unusual though

on an entirely selfish ground, namely,
that the troubles in Lower California
