Moving Picture
 Men Should Not
 Open On Sunday
Prosecutor Thinks They Would be Unwise to do so-Boyton
 Case Does Not Apply

'I don't believe it would be at all wise for the moving picture men of this city to attempt to construe the verdict of the jury in the Boyton case as a license for them to openly vio- late the law in the center of the city," declared Prosecuting Attorney Alexander Delaney to a Farmer re- porter vest erday, when his attention was called to the fact that the pro- prietors of motion picture theatre here are taking steps toward Sunday opening.
 'Tf you will remember the circum- stances of the Boyton case" declar- ed Attorney Delaney, "some of the jurymen who acquitted Capt. Boyton afterward declared that they did so largely in view of the fact that Steeplechase Island, where the alleg- on the extreme boundary of the city, is far removed from any habitation, and the running of amusements there is not calculated to disturb anybody's g Sabbath.
 ''The jury also took into considera- tion the fact that Bridgeport is a cosmopolitan city and the running of such an amusement resort in an out of the way place probably fills a need for Sunday recreation. The city has a large foreign population, accustom- edto these privileges on the Sabbath. But if the moving picture men bank on this decision to open up places in the center of the city on Sunday I don't think that a jury will stand for it.

NO INCREASE IN TROLLEY SERVICE BETWEEN MILL HILL
 AVENUE AND BRUCE'S BROOK
Public Utilities Commissioners Find That Additional Cars Are Needed it is to Hoister Heghts-Refuse Make Order Upon Petition of City Acting Through Com
 mon Council

The text of the decision of the rail- road commissioners denying the city's petition for better trolley service for residents of the East End along Bar mum avenue, was received here today.
 The commissioners assert that if there is need of an extension of the service on the line, it exists in Hol- lister Heights. This is in the town of Stratford Tn denying the petition the commissioners do so without preju- dice to future petitions when condi- tions may arise that will cause them to alter their present views on the matter. The petition was by the city through the Common Council.
 Here is the text, in part, of the de- cision reached by the Commissioners, Richard T. Higgins T. B. Ford and J. H. Hale. -
 s.Cars running over Barnum avenue from State street to Mill Hill avenue are operated on an eight minute head way. Cars running from Mill Hill and thence easterly to Stratford, are operated under 90 minute headway in either direction. The distance from Mill Hill avenue to the present terminus of the eight minute city ser vice on Barnum avenue to Bruce's brook is about half mile. Cars running on Barnum avenue from State street to Mill Hill avenue and return make the round trip in 56 minutes and glave on the average two minute iayover at Mil Hill avenue and ap- rroximately the same at the starting point at the corner of State and Fair field avenue excepting when the wes- terly end of State street was torn up and the schedule time was disarrang- ed.
 When the cars are running on reg ular schedule time there is not much more time allowed for the 1ayover than is required to make the necessary arrangements for the return trip and owing to the density of the population and number of stops made on Barnum avenue from State street to Mill Hill avenue it is deemed inadvisable to shorten the running time.
 ITO extend the regular Barnum ave- nue service to Hruce's brook as re- quested in the resolution would re- car or cars on this line or sreduc- ton of the present Barnum avenue service by increasing the headway or time between cars.

Especial to the Farmer.)

Fairfield, Nov. 27.-Found in a chicken yard, at 11:3O, Saturday morning, an intruder received a neat trimming, according to Louis Krus- die, who claims to have administered the punishment.
 Krusdic says that the intruder was Leonard Kowalski, town constable, who frequently gives assistance to the state police.
 But Kowalski denies that he was in Krusdic's' chicken yard, and there fore question of identity arises.
 According to. the story told by Krusdic, who lives on the Danbury beach road and also by Joseph Can dric who boards with him, the affair took place early Saturday morning in the chicken yard in the rear of Krus- dies home. Krusdls said that he had been missing chickens from his coops for about a month md could not find out where they were going to. He said he had looked night after night until a late hour, to see if anyone was entering his coops, but could not find the supposed thieves.
 He doped out 8 little scheme which he thought might aid him in catching attached to the gate in the chicken yard which went into the house and then onto a large bell. When the gate was opened the bell would ring and in this way give the signal to those in the house. They watched for several nights for this patent to prove it's worth, but nothing was heard from 1t unti. Friday evening. About 10 o'clock on that night the bell started to ring which for a time alarmed those in the house. Some of the men ran into the yard and ex- pected to find someone in the chick en yard but were surprised to find that no one was there and no one could be found anywhere about. Af-
