FALLS AT HER
LAST REHEARSAL
Mrs. w. A. Konstance, Per.
fecting New Hippodrome
Feature, Injured at
Brooklawn
Taken Home in Automobile
She Is Found to Have
Sprained Wrist and Ankle

Mrs. w. A. Konstance. a clever and
handsome equestrienne who has been
rehearsing a daring riding act at the
Brooklawn academy for several
months. and was preparing to begin
an indefinite engagement at the Hip
podrome, beginning. Monday, Feb. q,
met with mishap last evening that

On with her work for many weeks
Mrs. Konstance was formerly en-
gagged in circus riding in the west.
She has been Bridgeporter for sew
eral years and has given up her
equestrienne feats. But the call Of
the tanbark was so strong that last
fall she decided to re-enter the arena,
and began rehearsing a spectacular
novelty that she expects soon to make
a feature of one Of the big shows. :.
One Of the most thrilling portions of
her act consists of balancing upon
her shoulder, on four foot pole set
upon the back of big white steed.
balancing a chair on one foot. a ta-
BILE poised upon the other foot and
playing a violin. Naturally this has
required months Of extremely careful
practice.
Yesterday afternoon was to have
been one Of her last rehearsals. The
horse was unsteady and she was on
the point Of calling off the rehearsal
when the animal became calmer, and
she resolved to go through her turn.
She had succeeded with the assis-
tance Of the manager OF the riding
academy, in assuming her difficult
position atop the pole when the horse
suddenly SHE'D, ,dislodging her and
throwing her on all fours into the ring.
She was unable to arise.
Mrs. Konstance was taken to her
home, in Clarence street in an auto
mobile of another patron of the rid
ing academy and DR.. Cen cola was call
ed to attend her. He found she had
escaped without broken bones. but was
suffering from severe sprain Of the
left wrist and the right ankle. He
told her it would be out OF the Ques-
ton to think Of riding for many

PROSPEROUS
JUNKMAN BUYS
LOOT OF BOY
Aaron Rozenzaft is Arrested at
the Instance Of State Police
Youth of 16 Also in Tolls

| Further investigation Of the whole
Connecticut Co. by boys. and the en-
couragement lent to the youths by the
purchase Of the loot by junk dealers
has resulted in the arrest Of Aaron
Rozenzaft. a prosperous junk dealer
at q Clarence street. and of Leonard
Longo. aged 1e. Of 6s Green street.
The boy is held on the charge OF
theft. Rozenzaft has furnished bai
for his appearance in the city court
next Tuesday, when it is expected
that he will be charged with several
offences. among them buying junk
ffom minors. and failing to make his
reports weekly. as prescribed by the
State law regulating the junk busi-
ness.
Under the State law. a junk dealer
is obliged to file weekly reports COW
ering every purchase he makes. This
Is intended as check upon the steal
ing Of metal from factories. With
this barrier before them. junk dealers
hesitate when they are offered metal
which they have reason to suspect has
been stolen. But Rozenzaft. accord
ing to the police. has made no report
of his junk dealings for the last three
months. though he has continued to

ment Of not more than three months,
or both, is the penalty.
The arrest of RoZenZaft was effect
ed by State Policeman Virelli. He
visited the dealers place to look up a
himself as to whether the loot was
there. he discovered large quantity
of metal he knew must have come
from the trolley company. Trolley
pole wheels. parts of controller boxes,
levers. and other metal were piled up
in the rear of the shop.
Virelli arrested Rozenzaft and turn
ed him over to the local police author

quarters until he posted a bond for
his appearance this morning, and to-
day his case was continued until
Patrolman McGovern arrested Leonard
Longo. aged 16. or So Green street.
for theft from the car barns. Longo
admits having taken a part Of the
loot found at Rozenzaft's place. He
said he bought a paper of tobacco for
an employe of the Connecticut Co. at
the car barns, in return for which the
man gave him the privilege of helping
himself to the metal at the barns.
Another means of recompensing the
recreant employe. he confessed, was
helping him carry home wood. An
ploye, the police giving credence to the
lads story.
This is not the first time that Rozen-
zaft has been in court for buying junk
from minors, against which there is a
statute in force. Longo says he got
very little money for his loot. and that
he spent what he got in buying cakes
pies and the like. for himself.

barns Of the Connecticut Co.. was
identified by Leonard Longo as the
man who gave him metal the lad is
accused of stealing from the new barns

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-02-16

The hearing yesterday was, one of
the most largely attended hearings in
the history Of the Connecticut legisla-
ture and all indications point to a
still larger hearing this afternoon,
showing the great interest in the sub
jects Of Workmen's compensation and
Employers Liability, now under dis
cussion before the joint committee on
Judiciary and Labor.
The gathering yesterday numbered
several hundred persons, completely
filing the House chamber, as well as
a large portion of the spectators gall
lery. AS the hearing progressed the
spectators grew warmed to the subject
and repeatedly applauded their favor
ties among the speakers.
By preconceived> plan, the Work
mems Compensation bill which has
been endorsed by the Central Labor
Union of Bridgeport. and a dozen or
more local unions of Bridgeport, as
well as eighty other trades unions
Throughout the state, was not discussed
at all yesterday the adherents of that
measure preferring to let the other
bills come before the committee first.
The fight for the Bridgeport measure
is being taken up at the continuation
of the hearing this afternoon before
the biggest gathering of1abor men that
ever attended committee hearing Of
the Connecticut legislature.
The Manufacturers Association Of
Connecticut revealed its position yes
terday-and to most people the reve-
lation comes as stunning surprise.
The association. through its legal rep
resentative Attorney J. H. Emory
of New York., and through its presi-
dent. Col. Pope of Hartford, declared
itself strongly in favor of Work
mems Compensation act.
The manufacturers desire the enact
| ,p1,f af "a CO.
called German compensation act, by
which employer and employee join in
an enforced insurance to pay the sick
benefits, injury benefits and death
benefits of workmen hurt in the course
of their employment.
There is no such measure before the
committee at present but before the
conclusion of the meeting Chairman
Judson asked Attorney Emory If he
would draw up such an act and pre-
sent it for the committees considera-
tion.
Attorney Emory replied that his lack
of knowledge of Connecticut law
made him feel diffidei-t about accept
ing the task but that he will gladly
aid the committee in every way to-
ward the drawing up of such meas
ure.
The workmen's Compensation act
which a majority of the largest or
ganized labor bodies of Connecticut
endorsed is not on the German plan,
but is modelled more on the English
plan which places all of the responsi-

ploye. The manufacturers indicated
that they will fight this measure.
