THIRTY DOLLARS
(Special TO The FarmerD


Fairfield, March 9.-Throwing
stones has separated Joseph March
ETH from thirty dollars of his hard
earned CASH. he being found guilty to-
day OF assault and fined fifteen dol
lars and costs, which amounted to
seventeen dollars and five cents addi-
tioral
Joseph Marchetti and Mrs. August
Parnoffe, both Italians, are next door
neighbors on LenoX Heights. Both
families, as do all the other residents
of that section, have been keeping
hens. Recently many complaints
trespassing too often upon neighbor-
ing property, and Mrs. Parnoffe, not
to be bothered any longer, sold hers.
Then last Sunday when she esp1ed
some of neighbor Marchettfs hens on
her premises, she felt that she now
had a right to demand the trespassing
to stop. But she not only demanded
it to stop. but she caught one Of the
hens and threw it over the line fence,
doing no damage to the hen, but
arousing Marchetti's anger. He pick
ed up several stones and hurled them
striking just behind her right ear,
and causing very painful wound.
Although, Mrs. Parnoffe has not yet
consulted a physician, her ear bears
the appearance OIL Delng injured IA
such a manner that her hearing will
be impaired. Mrs Parnoffe had a
warrant made out, charging March,
ETH with assault, which was served
Wednesday. On that day he was
brought before Judge Wakeman. who
held him under small bond to APP
pear in court at three o'clock Friday
afternoon. Marchetti appeared on
time and much testimony was heard
on both sides, but it appeared that
Marchetti had done severe injury to
Mrs. Parnoffee, as we'll as being un-
justified in doing it. The judge found
him guilty of assault and imposed a
fine of fifteen dollars and costs,which
amounts to a total of thirty-two dol
lars and five cents, which was paid.
Mrs Parnoffe retained Clitus H.
King as counsel and Will await the
decision of a physician as to the in

Chandler to Talk
To Men at Polls
Tomorrow Afternoon
Brilliant Orator, Who Electrified
Manufacturers at Recent Dinner,
to Speak Under Y. M. C. A.
Auspices

Probably the finest piece of oratory
that has been heard in Bridgeport
for many a year. was the address OF
the Hon. Walter NJ. Chandler at the
annual dinner of the Manufacturers
Association last month.
Mr. Chandler held the audience so
spellbound with the brilliancy of his
wit, the power and responsiveness OF
his oratory, and the wisdom of his
remarks, that when Detective Burns
opened the door at 1920 and Mr..
Chandler indicated that he would give
way to the man whose deeds had
made him nationally famous, the
was an unusual exhibition Of the fas-
tor can exert on an audience.
The Y. M. c. A. has been in corr
respondence with Mr.. Chandler for a
couple of weeks and has finally Sc
cured his promise to speak at Polls
theatre tomorrow afternoon. His SUBJ
ject will be THE Trial Of Jesus from
a Lawyers Standpoint The meet
ing will begin at $3.50, but the doors
will be opened at 3:15. There will be
no charge for admission, and tickets
may be obtained at the Y. M. G. A.
or at the door of the theatre on Sum
day afternoon.
Special music will be furnished by
Miss Frances Allen, the attractive

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRST CAME FROM
EDINBURGH TOWN
William Leslie. G. A., Tells
Farmer Of Rapid Growth
of Profession in America
Stringent Precautions TAX
en- in Scotland to Guard
Against Incompetence in
This Line

Public accounting in the United
States is gaining a strong foothold in
the business community said Will
liam Leslie, of the firm Of Leslie &
Co., accountants, to a Farmer report
err today. Mr.. Moore's company of
chartered and certified public account
ants has a branch Office in this city.
with headquarters in New York
Mr.. Leslie and William Moore, of
his staff, were guests at the address
delivered by Peter White at the Bus
mess Mems lunch at the Stratfeld,
Thursday. He is convinced that pub
lie accounting is destined to grow
greatly in this country in the immed-
late future.
Mr. Leslie has had "a years expert
ence in public accounting. Both he
and his partner, Alexander Scott
Banks, are charteded accountants Of
Scotland.
cit is not so many years ago since
public accounting was first introduced
from Great Britain said Mr.. Leslie.
''The first organized society was char
tered some fifty odd years ago in
Edinburgh which may be styled the
birthplace of the profession Scotland
has turned out some of the ablest and
most eminent accountants the world
ever knew, and to the land of cakes
fession which is assuming nationwide
Importance in the realm of finance
and is yearly attaining such promi-
hence that the day is not far distant
when every business house of any pre-
tension shall have it's own Independents
auditor.
1.-THE functions of the public ac-
countant are as varied as those of the
legal profession and as important.
Where the lawyer stands in relation
to the law so does the accountant in
the financial sphere. Unfortunately,
however, the business man has vet
ed man and the expert posing as
such with nothing to substantiate his
claim other than a little knowledge
and voluminous nerve and audacity.
1t therefore behooves every man con-
templating the employment of such
services to be guarded in his selection
of the accountant to whom he unfolds
his business secrets and be doubly
sure that in the first place the Selec-
ton falls upon one that is capable
and equipped with the necessary
training and that he has actually
passed the required examinations.
But the passing of a written ex-
animation, however, is not, in itself,
the full guarantee of the proficient
practical accountant, for there are
those who possess the ability to pass
test in theory and elementary prac-
tice but fall far short of the mark
when an intensely practical problem
arises necessitating the exercise of a
matured judgment based on a ripe ex-
perience. The Scottish method of
training obligates the candidate for
admission as a chartered accountant

Westport
BRADLEY AXE FACTORY
s. NOT COMING, HERE YET
Especial TO The F'armer.)


Westport. March 9.-According to
advices received in town yesterday
c. w. Bradleys Sons will not open
their factory here at once, although
the company is still engaged in look
ing for local capital to use in getting
the business started again and to use
in rebuilding the cOmpany'S plant in
Weston. At the first of the month
the amount of local cash which had
been subscribed was far short of the
needed amount and it was decided to
take advantage OF an opportunity to
secure a factory partly equipped in
Brooklyn, n. V The following para
graph, quoted from a letter received
in town yesterday is self-eXplanato
After due consideration and deep
thought it has been concluded that
to save the spring trade for the G. w.
Bradley Sons, it would be wise TO
take a factory temporarily in Brook
lyn, and not wait until it is rebuilt in
Westport. They have found one
which is partially equipped with the
machinery that they want. The 9TH
or parts of the machinery will be
brought at once and be installed.
They are only taking a short lease
and are prepared to then move ev-
erything to the plant when it is COM
pleted."
From that letter it will be seen
that they expect to go ahead with
building operations here and will
move from Brooklyn here as soon as
the plant is ready for them. The
balance of the letter quoted above is
a solicitation for an inv estment.

Fine Tribute For
Rev. Dr.. MCKenna
Worcester Priest to Lecture
Here Tomorrow Evening
for st. Patrick's Parish
Excellent Concert Arranged
In Connection With Lee
ture on "Faith and Fa-
therland."

Referring to a reading of Hamlet
by the Rev. Dr. Michael J. McKenna,
who is to deliver a lecture under the
audspices of st. Patricks church at
Polls theatre, Sunday evening, the
Worcester Gazette has the following
to say of DR.. McKenna's ability:
Father McKenna's reputation as
an eloquent pulpit preacher and not
the magnet that filled the theatre.
His treatment of the character Of
Hamlet was discussed religiously,
but without becoming in any sense
controversial or even doctrinal.
"That Father McKenna has made
an exceptional study of Shakespeare
no one will deny who was fortunate
enough to attend last nights recital.
This is borne out by his dramatic
reading Of the lines, the ease with
which he clearly pictured the situa-
tions, and his approximations of the
various characters. In his finished
study, Father McKenna gave evidence
that he can portray the characters of
the tragedy with intelligence, ease
and grace.
I'm opening the recital, Father Nc
Kenna, paid a high tribute to Shake
speare, and especially to his creation
of the great drama. saying that in
none other of the great dramatist's
productions does an understanding of
soul appear as we'll as in Hamlet
In addition to the lecture at Polls
tomorrow evening there will be a fine
concert by local and out of town tai
ent, among the number being Mich
olas Sebastian, tenor soloist of ST.
Patrick's cathedral New York; Will
liam Grab of New Haven, baritone;
Mrs. John F. Fay of this city, con-
tralto. The concert will be under the
direction of Prof. Elmer S. Joyce.
Tickets for the entertainment are
now on sale and may be obtained
from members of the parish, and may
be changed for reserved seats at Hal
tigan's pharmacy until o'clock SUM-
day evening and later at the box Of

Barbed Criticism
For Ha.e's High
Rates Speech
Especial from United Press.

(Speclal from On1teQ FreSS.)
Manchester, March 9.-Barbed
criticism was heard, generally, today,
of public utilities Commissioner John
Fl. Hale, of Glastonbury, who, in a
Boston address, yesterday, said:
Don't spend much thought about
lower rates. It's a poor business pro-
position to expect better service and
low rates to go hand in hand
This statement coming "a hours
after the commissions unfavorable
decision in the Misunderstanding
fare reduction case and reinforced by
Hale's fulsome praise of the New Ha-
ven road, was turned to hold out lit
tie hope for future similar lower fare
petitions.
Commissioner Hale gave the New
Ravens monopoly of freight and pas
senger traffic by steam, electric and
water routes in Connecticut, a. clean
bill of health when he referred to
the unification of railroads and what
he called ..misdirected objection by
some unthinking people to its absorb
ton of other railroads and electric
lines" 80
He was confident that this unif1ca-
ton meant. greater good to agr1cul-
tural interests.
