FILLED HIS SATCHEL
 WITH BRIC-A-BRAC

High glee reigned at a certain popu- lar Wall street hostelry last evening when a well known builder, known to his friends as 'tFritz", left on the SIS train, tightly clutching a. satchel full of choice bric-a-brac and specimens of the bIass blowers art.
 After a hot, damp afternoon in Bridgeport, Fritz started for the sta- tion. He had 30 minutes to wait for the train and the melodious cries of the train caller lulled him off to a sound snooze
 Fritz friend Hans entered the sta tion, spied the snoring one, and care fully purloined his satchel
 Fritz awoke with a start, noted the absence of his satchel, and loudly called for the police. Sympathizing habitues of the station gathered around him and condohed with him on his loss
 Just before the S:13 train arrived, Hans stepped into the station with the missing satchel and restored it to it's owner, warning him to be more careful of his portable property in the future. Fritz accepted the satchel and boarded the train-but he didn't think to open the satchel first. Hence the merry roars which were waited on the breeze when the train sped on- ward.

Lawyer And New Britain Official
 In Bad Scrape

New Britain, June Exchanged with blackmail and obtaining money under false pretenses, Constable Leroy M CowleS of this city, and Attorney Charles F. Conlon of PlainvilIe, were arrested today on warrants sworn out by States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn of Hartford. The complainant is James Lapori who alleges that CowIes, representing himself as a deputy United States revenue collector, came to his saloon June r and charged him with violating the liquor law. Cowles asked $40 to settle the case out of court, said Lapori, which was paid over and for which Lapori accepted a receipt. Conlon arrived at that stage of the game, according to the com plaiEant and, as attorney, advised Lapori tc return the receipt. Also Conlon asked for s10 for professional services.
 About that time the complainant said he "got wise and refused to turn over the receipt. Later he called in the police
 Cowles was a former deputy sheriff He was dropped about four years ago but later got himself elected a con- stable in order to continue to serve papers. Also he went into the hotel business on losing his job as deputy sheriff.
 Conlon is known as a not over suc- cessful lawyer in Plainville

County Janitor Republican Grab
 Measure Killed
CFrom Our Special corres.o

Hartford, June 29-The Senate in concurrence with the House today in- definitely postponed the favorable re- port of the committee on Judiciary conferring on county commissioners the power to appoint janitors of county court houses, which power has hitherto been vested in the county sheriffs.
 Senator Judson explained the bill and moved it's passage. Senator Spell lacy objected on the ground that it was petty politics and tending to de- prive Democratic sheriffs of the rights enjoyed in this matter by Re- publican sheriffs for many years.
 Senator Paddock of Bridgeport said that in Fairfield county a Democratic sheriff had been elected for the first deprive him of the power of naming the janitors in the county buildings of Bridgeport and Danbury. If this law was good enough while the Republi- cans held the offices of sheriff, it ought to be good enough now.
 Senator Donovan said that the sher- if is a proper official to name not only the janitor but all of the other attaches of the public buildings for he is an officer of the court and is held responsible for the safety of the prisoners temporarily retained in the county Dullu1ngS Our1nS terms or the criminal courts.
 He said it would be a mistake to divide the responsibility. If pri- soner should escape through the fault of janitor or his assistant it would be better to know that one man was responsible and the blame could be easily placed. Senator Judson said that he personally did not care what the Senate did with the report. He regarded it simply as a business pro- position that the county commission CTS who are charged by the State with the care and custody of the county buildings should be held re- sponsible for the caretakers.
 He denied that as far as he is con- cerned the question of politics had entered. He said again that he did not personally care what disposition was made of the report. The Senate voted practically unanimously to concur with the House in killing the bill.

 Serious Crisis In
 Strike Of Seamen
Food Prices Soar and Rioting Result From fine Shipping Tie up of Nearly Every Port in the United Kingdom
Especial from United Press.)

London, June 29-With the prices of the necessities of life already advanc- ed 20 per cent. as the result of the strike of the seamen, dock laborers and associated laborers in nearly rioting reported from a dozen cities, and coastwise and foreign traffic, with the exception of the Channel steamers. absolutely paralyzed, Eng land is today facing the most serious crisis of recent years.
 Advices received at the headquar- ters here of the seamen's union show the tie-up is complete
 At Liverpool today the Zealand, of the Red Star line, after hours of de- lay. managed to get her passengers ashore by tenders, but the steamer herself is in midstream, unable to se- cure tugs to move her to her docks.
 To the trouble ashore is added a serious menace to navigation. The big hghtships in the mouth of the Mersey are deserted today, their crews having joined the strikers. Unless the craft are at their anchorages with their lights set by nightfall, incoming g steamers will be in danger of piling up on the rocks.
 Factories in a dozen cities shut down this morning because of lack of raw materials
 The first break in the strike of the seamen and dock hands came at Glasgow today when the Anchor and Allan lines gave in to the unions. Agreements were signed and crews and dockhands supplied in sufficient numbers so that the Saturday sailings will take place on schedule.
 The Cunard and Canadian Pacific Company officials did not hesitate long after the Anchor and Allan lines weakened and they also signed the agreement recognizing the unions and granting the demanded wage increase. This ensures their steamers keeping Saturdays schedules.
 Premier AsQuith is endeavoring to settle the strike through the local Boards of Trade. Enormous quanti- ties of badly needed imports of pro- visions from the United States and Canada are in the holds of steamers now in dock at Liverpool, Southamp- ton and other coast ports.
 Unless these can be released it is feared the effect will be serious in the United Kingdom
 The seamen's union officials have issued a statement blaming the White Star line officials for most of the new trouble, and saying that, under no circumstances will their men return to work unless each and every de- mand is granted

COMPENSATION ACT. IS TO BE REPORTED Judiciary Committee Has Practi- cally Completed Draft
 of Bill OPTIONAL MEASURE FOR
 INDUSTRIAL WORKERS New Liability Act Also to be Favorably Reported Next
 Week
fBy Our Staff corespondent.)

Hartford, June 29-The Commit tee on Judiciary have practically agreed upon the text of a working mans compensation act and it is un- derstood that the bill will be report ed to the senate next week.
 It is to be an optional bill and not a compulsory one. It is the first step Connecticut has taken in the direc- ton of such legislation and while the proposed measure is not likely to meet all the expectations of those who favor comp pensating wOrkingm en injured in the performance of their duty, it is understood that the bill as agreed upon has met with the ap- proval of several of the lea6ing ad- vocates of this character of legisla- tion
 There is question as to whether the proposed measure should include within its scope farmers, domestic servants and other classes of help trial workers. The demand for this legislation comes from toilers in mills and factories and employees whose work is more or less of a hazardous nature.
 It is probable that the bill which hands of the Judiciary Committee will limit its ramifications to indus trial workers and others whose occu- pations are attended by dangers such as agricultural hands and servants are not subjected
 Although counsel for the manufac- turers' association of Connecticut in- formed the Judiciary Committee that he did not think bill which made exceptions in classes of labor would be constitutional it is believed this view is not generally shared by the committee.
 The committee has also completed its draft of a new employers liabiI- ity law which will be submitted to the senate next week.
 The Judieiary Committee has com- pleted all of it's scheduled hearings unless matters upon which it has al- ready passed shall be recommitted to them

(From Our Special Correso !


 Hartford. June 29-The House show ed it's temper today in sitting down hard upon the Railroad committee. Rep Garde of Cromwell House chair man of that committee submitted a batch of unfavorable reports on pe- tions from various towns seeking troll ley improvements and adjustments in fares
 Garde rather sarcastically referred to the fact that now that "they got their utilities bill, he supposed these matters would be adjusted to the sat- isfaction of the petitioners Objections was taken to the remarks of Garde and by an overwhelming vote the unfavorable reports of the com mittee in each instance were reject ed; the reports were ordered printed for calendar and made the order of the day for next Wednesday.
 It was quite evident that the House proposes to show the Railroad com mittee that the House is still the master of its creatures.

street to Ferry, road over proposed new highway which is to be con- structed by the town. The resolu- ton provides however, that should the town fail to provide said highway before July 1, 1912, the company may lay tracks in Judson place and Elm street from Main street to East Broadway.
 The report does not provide for the extension of the lines of the Con necticut company in North Main street to the town line of Trumbu1l, which was one of the extensions petf- toned for by the company and favor ed by the common council of Bridge port. The reason for the refusal to allow this petition is that the Bridge port & Danbury Street Railway com pany is now preparing to lay their tracks between Bridgeport and Trum- bull.

Local Bonding
 Projects All
 To Be Favored
CFrom Our Special Corres.)

Hartford, June 29+All of the Bridge port bonding projects to wit: new high school, new bridge on East Wash ington avenue; new almshouse, new fire engine house for 9th district and new police station in the West End will be reported favorably by the Finance committee next week in the Senate.
 There was some talk that the po- lice station project would be omitted but the committee has decided to in- clude it with the rest. There is still some difference upon the part of in- terested Bridgeporters with respect to the nature of the referendum which shall be attached to each bill. Some want a 15 per cent clause, while oth- CTS favor the straight referendum.
