BIG TURNING BASIN.

This turning basin will take up a
large part of the property that was
purchased by the Simplex Railway APP
pliance Co for the purpose of building
a foundry.
The profile will be of great interest
to every property owner along the riv-
er for the reason that it shows just
where the new dock lines will go and
just what land owners will lose or gain
by the governments action in estab-
fishing the new bed for the river.
1t is understood that the committee
which has this matter in charge will
make the recommendation that one of
curves in the river be eliminated by
cutting the channel straight through. !
This will make the river practically
straight all of the way from the CO.
lumbia avenue bridge to the mouth of
the Indiana Harbor canal except that
the canal will be approached by long
sweeping curve instead of by right
angle turn. This ought to facilitate

ACTIVITY INDICATED.


The completion of the profile indi-
Gates that the government is about to
take some action for the improvement t
of the river and canal. Those who are
close to the situation say that the CAL
umet region is indeed fortunate in hav-
ing colonel W. II. Bixby. formerly of
Chicago. in charge of the United States
engineering department.
When Bixby was in Chicago he was
known to be very friendly to the Calu-
met region in its ambition to have a
great system of deep waterways con-
structed from Indiana Harbor to South
Chicago.
Since he has gone to New York he
has not forgotten the Calumet region,
and 1t is said that he sent I. c. Com
forts report regarding this district to
the proper authorities without any ma
terial notifications.
This means that the matter will fin
ally be put up TO the rivers and harbors
committee in an exceedingly favorable
light. 1t is expected that the Caiu-
met region will be able o get a larger
appropriation than ever before. In
fact it will be likely to get its first big
appropriation for river and harbor de-
velopment.

BUTCHER HELD
 ON CHARGE OF
 DECOYINC GIRL
Parents of Pauline Robert son Allege that She Has
 Been Brought to Bridge port for Illegal Purposes.

Upon complaint of the family of old girl of 176 Forsythe street, New York city, Joseph Trapani, who styles himself a butcher and claims a fur nished room at 676 Main street as his home, is held at police headquarters pending the investigation of the story of Pauline's people.
 Trapani and the girl were arrested at the railroad station this afternoon by PatrOlman Isaac B. Williams, while detectives were securing the so- called "red-light' district for traces of the couple. Just after they reach ed police headquarters a brother of the girl got there. He previously tele- a description of his missing sister and telling the authorities of his suspicion that she had been brought to this city for immoral purposes and was detain- al against her will.
 Pauline, a strikingly attractive bru- nette, claims to be F. Her brother says she is' not yet 16. She claims city for about year, and to have promised to become his wife. From what the police had been able to gather from brief interview with the girl, who was not willing to talk free ly, they are inclined to scout the be- lief entertained by the girls people that she was held prisoner here.
 After Interviewing Trapani and the girl, Detective Captain Arnold sent Sergeant Hackett to a house at 2 Bank street and summoned to police headquarters an elderly, shabbily clad woman who was believed to know something of how the girl had spent her time in this city. The old wo- man, young Trapani and the girl are all held awaiting the arrival of the girls mother, from the New York home. She was notified by telegraph of the discovery here of her missing daughter.
 Trapani has relatives in this city well known ip police circles. The po- lice have nothing against him except the present case. No formal charge has yet been preferred, for the detec- tives are still Investigating and are awaiting the mothers story before they are satisfied to enter charge of white slave" trading against young Trapani
 Pauline came to Bridgeport last Wednesday, in company with Ira pani.

POLICE MAKE ARRESTS
 AT LIGHTHOUSE POINT

One of the most sensational raids made around New Haven in years oc- cured yesterday afternoon when six bluecoats of the central station of the police department smashed down the side door and surprised nearly hun dred men who were drinking at two extemporized bars in the Lighthouse Point hotel, which is condutced by Thomas w. Corcoran, the former Cincinnati National league star base ball player.
 Among those taken in the round up were practically all the member s of the Hartford State league baseball team, which had just finished defeat ing the New Haven team at the Lighthouse ball grounds, and had rushed over to the hotel to quencn their thirst.
 The crowd of men found in tn ? hotel were not held, but Corcoran and his four bartenders, Frank J. Reed, William F. Warfeld, Otto R. Goetz and John F. Kearn. were taken into custody. They were placed under bonds of $2O0 a piece, which they se- cured at once.
 In addition to the arrests, the po- lice seized 500 bottles of beer and 73 bottles of gin and whiskey.
 The raid was planned by Hubert L. Dickerman, the new liquor prose cutor. The Lighthouse is in ward Eff teen, and consequently has no police there supply themselves. The New Haven police have no reason to g into that territory and would not have made the raid had MT. Dieker- man not asked Chief COwleS to step in and do the work.

Judge E. s. Banks Suing Conn. Co.
 For $500 Damages
Claim that His Automobile Was Damaged on Two
 Occasions

Claiming that their automobile was twice struck by trolley cars on two occasions, Judge Fillmore s. Banks and his wife, Beulah G. Banks have brought suit against the Connecticut Go. for $500 damages. Papers were filed this morning in the court of Common pleas.

Negligence by the com pany's employees is again alleged Damages to the auto in the second ac- cfdent are fixed at $20O. The action is returnable before Judge Scott in the September term of court.

SAFE BLOWER IS NEARLY BLOWN TO
 PIECES HIMSELF
Especial from United Press. ]

Especial from United Press.)
 Jersey City, Aug. That he hired Frank Walsh, a novice in the use of explosive, to blow the safe of the Drake Milling Co. and destroy his books to cover up his dedication of $2,000, was the confession made, to- day, by Samuel Brown, cashier of the Long Dock Co. Walsh was so terri ply burned in the explosion that he died, today, in St. Srancis' hospital.
 Browns idea was to have the safe blown open, the books destroyed and then the building set on fire. But Walsh knew nothing about soup and after plugging up the door of the safe put in five times enough itro-gly- cerine to blow open six safes. It blew the doors off the safe but it also wrecked the inside office, blew Walsh's eyes out of his head, his clothing from his body and horribly injured him.
 When found, Walsh gamely denied knowledge of any explosion, saying he went into the building to sleep. The police did not believe him, how ever. Brown later confessed.
