QUICK POLICE WORK SPOILS
 CLARENCE BOOTHE'S PLANS
Young Man Leaves Home With His Sisters Watch and His Brothers
 Motor Cycle.
Special to The Farmer )

Stratford, May 9-Clarence Boothe, son of Edward Boothe of King street extension, was arrested in New Ha- ven Tuesday afternoon and brought to StratfOrd where he was tried yester- day morning before Judge Charles H. Peck on a charge of grand larceny. He was bound over to the Superior court and was taken to the county jail by Sheriff John Williams, where he is awaiting trial. The prisoner is only twenty years of age and has borne good record previously. Young Boothe has been out of work for a long time and had become des- perate. On Tuesday morning he left the home of his father, taking with him a motorcycle belonging to his brother, and also a suit case contain ing all his brothers best clothes. He also took his sisters gold watch. His departure was discovered at 10 o'clock and the brother notified former Sher- if Stagg who telephoned to different towns along the line.
 At noon word was received here from the New Haven police that young Boothe was in custody there. He was not familiar with the opera tion of the motorcycle and had not made very good time. He had all house with him. The charge is se- rious one and an attempt will be made to mitigate the punishment. It is not believed that the young man is thoroughly bad but only laboring un- der a depression caused by lack of employment. It IS believed that he

Pottsville, Pa, May S"There will
 be more work for the Black Cossa cks'

 well be clubbed and shot as starved
 to death. It's quicker anyway"
 This was the burden of the mutter-
 ings of hundred of foreign miners whb
 gathered in the big boarding houses
 and shacks in Minersvilbe today. They
 are bitter as the result of yesterday's
 shooting and clubbing by the State
 cOnstabulary and continue to mutter
 threats of vengeance. The death dur

 Every road leading to the collieries was patrol1ed today by the heavily armed details of the State police. They rode in pairs as it was consid- cred certain they would be attacked during the day, but the foreigners re- Mained indoors.
 The disquieting feature of the deve1- opments here is the report of the hardware dealers, both here and in Minersville, that their stocks Of re- volvers, automatics and ammunition have been exhausted during the last few days. These weapons are believ- ed to have fallen into the hands of the nthuanians who are swearing ven- geance for yesterdays shooting. The State police on duty in Miners vile have been refused board there both for themselves and their horses, and are living out of their forage bags.

Youngsters Of
 North End Fight
Hold Fighting Bouts in Open Air Each Week to Coaster
 nation of NeighbOrhOOd

Youngsters of the North End have fighting spirit that they now hold
 forth every Tuesday and Friday nights in genuine, glove-fisted scrap, and people of the neighborhood are won dering where the police are on these nights For the last few weeks an open-air athletic meet of rather in- formal nature has taken place in the rear of the Shelton school house on Wheeler avenue. This is somewhat out of the way from public gaze and provides ample room for the 40 and 90 youngsters, ranging in ages from i've and six years to the teens, who gather there.
 There is good deal of secrecy as to who the fighters are and names
 are kept very much in the shade. So as to avoid police trouble the crowd has lookoutS on the outskirts and any newcomer is we'll sized up before
 he Is allowed to get near enough to recognize the nature of the gathering. The promoters of the fights make spe- cial effort to secure youngsters who. because of some boyish quarrel, are eager to settle accounts in the good old fashioned way. Some of the bouts have been of such a serious nature as to cause a good deal of scare for
 those who witnessed them. The fight CTS usually know little or nothing
 about tho boxing rules and even If they did there would be no strict en- fOrcement of them. The fights usual ly resolve themselves into nothing more or less than slugging match and If a fighters glove comes off at critical moment it would be shame to spoil good mixup for such a onfI fIxy other gets we'll beaten up before the game has proceeded far. Some at- tempt has been made to confine the scraps to a certain number of rounds, usually half a dozen,9 but the time
 keepers and referee occasionally ex- develops to be an exciting one.
 Women of the neighborhood are up
 in arms over the matter and many a youngster has been kept in the house
 on those nights for fear that he might
 get mixed up in the crowd. Last
 Tuesday night, though it rained in good shape and the ground was we'll
 soaked, the usual fight was pulled off.
 The crowd stood under umbrellas as
 they cheered the fighters on.
 According to an eye witness of this light the ScrapperS were very much unevenly matched. One of the boys
 was much below the other in height
 though he was stouter. The taller
 lad had the advantage of speed and as a result the little chap was we'll
 bruised up before the fight had gone far. He showed pluck by staying the full length of time but when he fin ished he was fit for a doctors care Some attempt was made by a woman in the neighborhood to secure a po- liceman but after securing the neigh bOrhood she was unable to find one and the fight broke up before police could have arrived from the station. Some of the women who allow their youngsters to go out, hesitate about calling in the police for fear that their own might become involved and the fights go on, per schedule and with increasing interest to the boys and young men of the North End

BRYAN REITERATES
 CHARGE IMPLICATING HARMON'S "CLOSE FRIEND''

Delphos, Ohio, May 9-Reiterating his charge that close friend of Gov. Harmon on June 29, 1908, attempted to buy certain Ohio delegates who had been instructed for Bryan, William J Bryan early today prepared to wind up his tour of Ohio and leave for his home in Lincoln, Neb.
 His farewell speech at Vanwert at noon was the forty ninth made in Ohio against Gov. Harmons candidacy.
 Gov. Harmon's denial of Bryan's s charge that Harmon packers attempt ed to buy the support of Ohio dele gates instructed for Bryan in 1908 caused the Nebraskan today to issue a second statement. In this Bryan says he will furnish the Governor a copy of the letter through which the so-called Harmon friend offered to buy Bryan delegates, if the Governor will say in writing that he does not believe such an attempt was made by any of his friends.

STAMFORD TOWN COMMITTEE BEATS
 THE RECORD OF 50 YEARS
Largest Attendance and More En- thusiasm Displayed Than at Any Previous Meeting in the Mem-

Especial to The Farmer.)

Especial to The Farmer)
 Stratford, May 9-At meeting Of the Democratic Town Committee. call- ed one night last week, there was a larger attendance than on any like oc- casion in the last 40 years. Only two members of the committee were ab- sent and they were unavoidably kept away. The town chairman, Ephr1am Wakelee, who has faced the opposi- tfOn almost single handed in the past, was greatly encouraged and before the meeting was over he was plainly elated. There was no mistaking the sentiment of the members of the cOn- mittee. It was not only hopeful but confident. Plans were projected and active work will be commenced inn mediately. It will be easy to demon strate to the rank and file of the peo- pie of this town that their only sal vation lies in a change in the pol1t- ical complexion of the majority. The control of public affairs has rested in the hands of a few who would accept
 no suggestions from the general pub lie and who have so beclOuded issues that nobody but the rulers themselves knew exactly what was in the wind. Democrats who have remained at home regarding all opposition as hopeless, are beginning to look up and many Republicans in the town are now hes itating between casting a Soc1alistic vote or going over to their old ene-
 mics as the only method of getting a square deal in the administration of the affairs.
 Perhaps the general unrest and the very apparent prospect of a Demo- cratic sweep of the country has had something to do with this change, but there is enough dissatisfaction right here to warrant the prediction that there will be a change in town Tl-<, town owes more than $15O,0OO. To this it proposed to add at least $200.- 900 for sewers and $120,000 for High School. For the money already spent Stratford has only a stretch of the most miserable roads in the State to show. It has about half the neces- sary school accommodations. As an old war Republican said the other day: 'I begin to think myself 1t is about time for change

"CHESTY JIM'S" INVASION
 TURNS INTO WILD ROUTE
Leader of the East End Army Cap- turcd and His Forces Scattered
 Beyond Recall.
Especial, to The Farmer.)

Stratford, May 9-John Mcclure. 17 years old, son of a. Bridgeport street cleaner living on Stratford avenue near the car barns, was tried before Judge Charles H. Peck last night on charges of breach of the peace and lowed to go on the payment of costs amounting to $7.5O. Mcclure ac- knowledged that he was the leader of a gang of young fellows who cross- ed Bruce's Brook Tuesday night to do up the Hollister Heights crowd. For a long time there has been fierce rivalary between the boys of the East End of Bridgeport and those of Hol- lister Heights. The boys across the brook, with all the assurance of the city gangster, had assumed a super iority over the StratfoTd boys which they could not maintain when 1t came to a genuine clash.
 Sunday night McGuire and two oth- CT East End boys came over the brook and wandered up Barnum ave- nue, making strange noises which they intended to be accepted as mu- sic. It was about g o'clock and the boys of the section were assembled were ordered to "shut up''. and words were followed by blows. Mcclure got a beating and promised to return later with his gang and clean up the country gentlemen. At the head of fifteen of his choicest scrappers he ap- peared on Tuesday night. On the way up Bruce avenue his force arm ed themselves with pickets wrenched from the fences along the line. They advanced boldly on the club house and knocked at the door. Mcclure asked for the scrapper who had done him up on the Sunday night previous. He was mot at home.' The besiegers resorted to subterfuge to get at the few members of the club in the house. sneaked out the back door and in a few moments endorsements began to appear.
 The siege was raised and the invad- CTS were retreating in good order when the local forces, augmented by Constable Bassett, appeared in full cry. The retreat was turned into a rout and the invaders scattered in every direction. McGuire, the leader, scorned to run. In the words of the old guard he would die but never sur- render. He was taken prisoner and landed in the local lookup. The re- mainder of his army escaped over the frontier and. is: now recuperatfng from its Marathon run. As yet the war is not over but if there are any more hostilities concert of the pow CTS will operate to restrain the bellig- erents. It is a case of pure boy exuberance and who of the older gen. eration has not figured in some such affair? Mcclure appears to be a good sort of boy with a record for industry at the Whiting shop where says the boy was all right until he got into "Chesty Jims'' gang and was made to believe that he was some scrapper.
