 While Family Eal

New Haven, Feb. Loot valued at $4,0O0 was secured by burglars who ransacked the second floor of the home of J. Alexander Hamilton, at 34O St. Roman street, last night be- tween and o'clock, while the fam The property taken was practically all jewelry and silverware, most of which was in the room of Mrs. Ham iton. Some of the brooches and rings taken are worth $500 and $500 apiece.
 The burglars who did the work are believed to be professionals. They ap- parently obtained entrance by climb ing the front porch.
 FThe thieves. after the burglary, walked down St. Roman street. in- specting their booty. At each gas light on this street between Gamer and Lawrence streets, they apparently stopped to look the stuff over more closely and discard what they didn't want There is a hedge along the west side of St. Roman street here and in back of this Detective Sergeant Hen ry J. Donnelly found a quantity of discarded silverware and jewelry. The burglars probably had more than they could conveniently carry and wished to eet -id Of the least valuable articles and those which could be most easily traced.
 Among the vaIuahles taken was a Hamiltons had picked up from all parts of the world. Between 30 and 40 of these had been thrown over the hedge and were recovered by Ser geant Donnelly. By the silver trail Sergeant Donnelly followed the course of the burglars to Lawrence street where the trail ended.
 The burglary was discovered by MT, Hamilton's daughter. who went up to her room immediately after dinner.

COPS BAD ERROR
 CAUSES ARREST
Almost Hopeless Cripple Car ried From HCme to Lookup
 to Pay Personal Tax

New Haven. Feb. 7-Nothing that has yet occurred in the personal tax campaign has done so much to in cite a feeling of disgust with the sys- tenn pursued than the arrest and i'm prisonment Monday night of Charles J. Bergstrand of 72O State street, who has been a practically helpless cripple for the last twelve years.
 Bergstrand told his story last night; q had lain down for a little rest on Monday night when about o'clock a policeman came to the door and He said I hadn't paid the personal tax. I told him that I couldn't pay it, but he said I would have to go along anyway.
 He sent for the police wagon and carried me out with several other po>
 'They told me could get out if paid $10 as a, bond. I couldn't get that amount of money so they carried me out to the patrol wagon and took me to the Grand avenue precinct There they placed me in. the lookup and I had to lie on the boards there until 4 o'clock. I was then routed out and taken up to the central station. I stayed there on the wooden bench until o'clock and was then taken up stairs to court.
 During all that time I didn't get a thing to eat Or drink
 man ,eeFgi IiVing Tintu in New New H Haven W % With a
 
 broken back. He was injured at the Tin bridge on October P, 12 years ago He had a broken back, leg and shoul- der blade, and for long time his recovery was despaired of. He was three years in the hospital. He has never regained his strength and since that time was a hopeless cripple. He is supported by his wife, who runs a boarding house.
 That there is something wrone some place is shown by the statement nf a police man who came to see him two weeks ago thet he was exempt on account of his injuries. The policeman, says Bersstrand, knew him and was aware that he was a cripple. The officer said that he thought it was shame to put Bergstrand on the list but that he didn't think anything would be done about it.
 This was evidently the policeman who was supposed to investigate his case Still despite the officers know1> edge and the statements of Berg strand the card which was returned to the city attorney made no mention of these facts.
 Ia st night that the police are directed to ask the supposed de1inquents cer- tain questions. Among these is: t'Is empt from this tax?'' The card re- turned by the police. according to MT. Booth. bore the answer No" It was the warrant for Bergstrand's arrest.
 When the afflicted man appeared in court, yesterday morning, MT. Booth saw his condition and immediately nolIed the charge against him
 Bergstrand claims he told the po- Iiceman he was exempt on the ground of being a cripple. Anyway the po- liceman, according to Bergstrand, knew him and could of his own know1- edge have certified to his exemption He says he doesn't know the name of the policeman who came to him to investigate the case. This name can be secured only by searching back through the records of the city at torney Mir Booth will do this at once to ascertain who is to blame for the arrest

EXPLAINING HORSE POWER

In connection with steamship pro- pulsion the average man is apt to speak very glibly of so many hundred or thousand horsepower. But is ex- tremely doubtful if one person in a hundred really has a due appreciation of what the phrase actually means. Said Char es F. SFlitdorf of magnet o fame, calculating the strength Of twelve men to be equal to one horse power. it would require s4O.0O0 men 10 produce as much energy as the 10000 horsepower developed by the turbine machinery of the express Cunarder Lusitania Then if the men were to work on the eight hour day system these figures would give a total of 2,52O, 900, that being the number of men whose strength would be neces- sary to drive the vessel across the Atlantic. So it would take all the men in New York city and vicinity to supply the energy produced all the day round by the wonderful turbine machinery of the great ship"

BIC ATTENDANCE
FOR RIVER MEET

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The ninth
annual convention of the national riv-
ers and harbors congress, which
meets in this city Dec 4, to continue
in session three days, gives abundant
promise of being the most largely at
tended convention this association has
had since its reorganization at the old
Arlington a decade ago.
President Taft will deliver the open
ing address and is expected to still
further emphasize his position looking
to a broad and statesman-like policy
by the national government in the
treatment of the waterways of the
country to the end that all streams
susceptible of navigation may be made
navigable.
And after the present administra-
ton is ended progressive citizens in
all the states will look to a demo-
cratic administration to carry on the
work of river, harbor and canal i'm
provement now under way on the
ground that the platform of the demo-
Gratis is even stronger than the plat
forms of other parties with respect
to this very vital question.
The result of the general election,
while it, does not affect the advance
ment of sentiment for waterway i'm
provement in harmony with the doc
trines of the national rivers and har-
bors congress, has in a number of In.
stances changed the personnel of the
committees Of both houses having to
deal with river and harbor appropria-
tions.
The senate committee on commerce,
which consists Of II members, lost
two-Messrs. Bourne of Oregon, re-
publican. and Percy Of Mississippi,
democrat - while the house commit
tee on rivers and harbors, consisting
of 81 members, lost eight-three dem
ocrats, Messrs. Ransdell of Louisiana,
Ellerbe of South Caroline and Boehne
OF Indiana; Lawrence of Massachu-
sets, Davidson of Wisconsin, Young
of Michigan, Rodenberg OF Illinois and
Kennedy of Iowa, republicans.
The only member of the house com
mittee who will continue in congress
is Mr.. Ransdell, who has been elected
to the senate. His distinguished ser
vice not only in the house but as
president, since its reorganization, OF
the national rivers and harbors con
gress, should in the very nature OF
things place him upon the commerce
committee of the senate.
The hold-over senators on the com.
merce committee are Messrs. Nelson
OF Minnesota, Perkins Of California
Smith OF Michigan, Stephenson OF
Wisconsin, Burton of Ohio, Burnham
Of New Hampshire, Crawford of South
Dakota and Oliver OF Pennsylvania
republicans; Martin OF Virginian
Simmons of North Carolina, Newlands
of Nevada, Bankhead OF Alabama
