 Judge Wilder Frieda Schatz and Anna Ire vetsky Must Wait in Jail They Stole Money of Frieda's Father, But They Are Not
 a Bit Sorry

Neatly and modestly gowned il
 pretty summer suits, and retaining l unusual self possession in their em
 barrassing positions. two girls, one I and the other 20, entered into a phil l osophical discussion with Judge Will der in the city court today as to wha effect the possession of money has up on different people. The judge was nonplussed at thi attitude of the two girls. Both were prisoners. And despite their tender age, the court felt called upon to hol6 them in restraint and order a further
 investigation into the cases. The girls are Frieda Schatz, IT, the daughter of a Pine street merchant
 and Anna Trevetsky, 20, an orphan
 who recently made her homo at the
 Y. W. c. A. here, and also boarded at 32 Highland avenue, this city. They
 were apprehended several days ago by Detective Sergeant Cronan, and brought back to this city last night on extradftion proceedings.
 It is alleged that Frieda, with he1 shopmate Anna-both having been en- ployed as operatives in corset fac tory-f1ed to New York with s42E taken from her fathers bed. They had made application for transporta- ton to Omaha, Neb., when the detec- tive apprehended them in New York where they were stopping with Anna $ relatives.
 sense of wrong doing, the girls com plained mildly of the interruption of their plans of travel, and remonstrat- ed gently against being forced to re- turn to Bridgeport. Frieda readily admitted having taken her fathers money when they were arraigned in the New York court. The plan was to release them in custody of Frieda' $ father, but the absolute absence of the New York judge to hold them for the regular course of law, as if they were hardened criminals.
 Judge Foster took the same view of the case today, for he refused to re- lease the girls in custody either of the court officials or their people, fix ing bail of $500 in each case, and or dering them committed to Jail in de- fault of the ball.
 It is alleged that Frieda took s425. She admits having taken $275. There was S170 left when the girls were ar rested They had bought meanwhile choice assortment of gowns, hats, and other wearing apparel. prepara- tory for their trip across the conti- nent.
 Anna openly declares that she be- lieves 1t is wrong for one person to have more wealth than another, and she can't see anything wicked about one persons helping himself to an others belongings if the other hap pens to have more than his share.
 Frieda takes a more philosophical view of the situation. ''You know, judge,'' she argued on the witness stand, as Judge Wilder questioned her, my father hasn't a great deal of money. But he is likely to have good deal. The more a man gets, the more he wants''
 And she intimated that in taking her fathers hoarded wealth, she was doing him favor in that she removed from him that element that might lead to his desiring to become a veal thy man at the expense of other ideals.
 Judge Wilder listened to this sort of talk several minutes, then turned to Prosecutor Delaney for the latters view of the case. He confessed that the girl was beyond him, and Detec- tive Cronan who had accompanied the girls from New York to this city, also threw up his hands.
 The girls were remanded until Sat urday morning, and both went to jail. They showed no emotion of any sort when the action of the court was made known to them. Neither will admit that they realize there was any thing wrong about taking Schatz' money
