Discusses Bonding of Public Officers, Sums Paid Got Extra Compensation, Power
 of Removal and Merit System
Office ot Assistant City Clerk Said to be Vacant by Failure O Furnish Bond Salary of Auditor and Assistant Auditor Should be D0ubIed--Pay of Public Servants
 is Too Low

The deputy auditor is not under bond. In nine cases the premium on bonds is by law laid upon the city, but the city has paid no other bonds It is submitted that in all cases in which the charter or ordinances fa1l to state specifically that the premium of surety bonds shall be paid by the city. the officers concerned should pay for them. In considering tenure of office, the report says:
 The purpose of long terms or office is to insure consistency in policy and procedure; but it is doubtful if it is necessary to go to such extremes as purpose, particularly in cases where only a single member Is appointed each year.
 The reference is apparently to the permanent paving commission and the park board. which are respectively so constituted.
 One result of these long terms boards, Mir White finds, is the over shadowing of the Mayor, who, under the present system has no effective in fluence even withr[twO year boards until year of his term has expired.
 In the matter of compensation MT. White finds that the level of salaries is low. The city engineer receives $4. 900, the. highest salary paid.
 ton from two or number of sources.
 Tax Collector Cooney has $2,500 as tax collector and $350 as clerk of the park board
 Others who are named as drawing compensation in addition to their sal aries for the office which they hold are: Carl Foster. judge city court; F. w. Hall city treasurer; w w Hub bell, assistant engineer: William Lounsbury. registrar of voters;+D. W. Lynch, clerk of the health board ". D. zEur1 ay, assistant engineer, T. H. Rooney, registrar of voters: D. M RoWland, building inspector, B. l.. Saunders assistant engineer; Henry J. Waters, deputy auditor; T. F. White. member board of relief; and F. L.. Wilder, judge of the city court.
 Considerable space in the report and tables is given to extra compensation drawn by City Auditor Bernard Keat- ing, to whom Is items are charged, on various accounts, by way of pay ment for divers services. ! The auditors salary is 8, 900, but he received in addition $500 as secretary of the permanent paving commission, $600 from the street department, and ister, the district rates books, and fOz. other services amounting to $2,090. 45, a total of $5,o90.45.
 MT. White suggests that the salaries of the auditor and the deputy auditor are too low, and that they should be doubled, but that all payments for whatever services should be included in the salary. The report says that the level of municipal salaries is too low.
 Some of the extra compensation is deemed by MT. White to fall within the charter
 The merit system for the protection of subordinate employees is advocated.

physical state of girls in different cities, greetings to friends, but are of particular value to the authorities in that they are either unsigned as was the letter written from 1O5 South avenue which is supposed to have brought the victim to this city or contain the signature with a border of crosses, indicating the penalty prescribed to those who disclose their secrets.
 The letter found upon the person of Buonomo addressed to his brother 'Amodeo Buonono'' at 1o1 East 2fst street, Chicago, was mailed from New York, on October r, Unsigned, has been translated and is said to de- scribe in detail the present vice con ditions in New York, where the Ros- entha1 murder has forced the lid tightly down. A description of the methods used by the White Slave fraternity to evade the law is given in full. Other letters from New Ha- ven, Bridgeport' and Boston, are said to give similar information.
 But one letter from Bridgeport bore a name, and that was one writ ten during the month of October, as are all the others, by Rose White, from 105 South avenue. This again brings to the fore the name of Rose White, who is said to have been variously known in Bridgeport under the names of Rosie Burnis,'' Rose Bennett etc., and who it was first thought was the murdered girl.
 The letter found in the trunk and written by Bridgeport is said to be signed as follows:

Capture of Kirk Kilissa Reported Made by Bulgarians Today May Bring Balkan War to End

London, Oct. M-The Bulgarians have captured Kirk Kilissa, according to message from Sofia to the Elk change Telegraph Company, this af- ternoon. There is no confirmation
 It does not follow that the battle raging along a 50 mile front between the Bulgarians and Turks north of AdrianopIe is ended, even if Kirk k1lissa has been captured by BuIgar- lans. military men here pointed out, this afternoon
 Tn loss, however, if true is a heavy one It bears out the assertions from Sofia that the BuIgarians have had the advantage in fighting thus far.
 Kirk k1l1SSa was garrisoned by the Turkish third army corps. If taken, experts here believe the loss of life must have been enormous

This letter, found upon the body of the pretty young matron slain in Oronoque Tuesday night, supplied an important link today in the chain of investigation carried on by the State police, the Bridgeport and Stratford authorities and the government of ficials into the supposed plot to kill the woman that white sIavers might avenge themselves because she was suspected of informing against them.
 Although any information upon the subject has consistently been refused by state officials and the authorities of Stratford, who are now engaged in ferreting out the various ramifica- tions and extent of the system dis closed by the murder of Jennie Cava- lieri, otherwise called "Pepina Buono- mo- and "Giovanina Rotunda,' '' known to have been associated with the White S1averB'' of Chicago, and to have sought protection from their persecution in that city under the name of her Bridgeport friend, Rose White,' it was learned by The Far mer today from an indisputable source that the contents of the trunk brought to Bridgeport from Chicago on Tues day last when Buonomo reached Bridgeport have revealed evidences or a startling character.
 Many documents bearing upon the conditions of the traffic in various cities has come to light, and invalua- ble letters. pictures and even the by laws of a secret order to which many of the cadet class belong has fallen into the hands of the authorities. who are today frantica1ly trying to place their hands on those whose names are mentioned therein.
 When approached upon the subject State Policemen Downing and VirelH, absolutely refused to either confirm or deny that their inquiries into the murder had confronted them with the White Slave system, but they admit ted that the fragments of the Buono-
 mo confession which has so far be- come public were but little of inn portant revelation the nature of which could not be disclosed at the present time. It was further learned that they are. seeking various girls in Bridgeport and New Haven, who are known to have formerly been closely identified with, both the murderers and unsavory resorts which have been closed during the past two years.
 It is known that when the trunk, checked from Chicago to Bridgeport, was claimed by State Policeman Rowe Wheeler it was found to contain quantities of the finest household lin en, clothing belonging to the woman, a pair of mans socks and quantities of letters and photographs of men and women we'll known in White Slave circles from Boston, Bridgeport, and New York as far west as Chi cago.
 Most of the letters contain informa- ton of conditions in various cities.

Tomorrow evening at o'clock the seIectnen will end the making or new voters. Under the law, the selectmen must stop on the stroke of eight, and indications point to many d1sappoint- ments because this year with their limited appropriation for assistants, they will be unable to cope with any great rush.
 The interest in the list of voters 'to-be-made" this year is more wide spread than usual owing to the presi- dential election, and all whose names are on the list should see that they visit City Hall without further delay.
 Persons desirous of securing in formation as to the making of voters will be accommodated at Democratic headquarters. A telephone call to headquarters will result in prompt attention.

NEIGHBORS SAY
 MRS. THORPE WAS
 OF UNS0UND MIND

Evidence to prove that Mary J Thorpe was of unsound mind when consideration property worth s65, ,0OO was introduced in the superior court this morning when the suit of Will liam Thorpe of this city against Sam uel Thorpe of this city, was resumed before Judge Holcomb
 Dr. D. M. Trecartin said he attend in 1911. She didn't answer his ques- tions in very intelligent manner.
 Dr. Eli B. Ives, who also visited Mrs. Thorpe, found the same trouble her symptoms. Simple questions to which she should have answered yes she generally answered mo-
 Attorney John H. Casey, a friend of the plaintiffs, said he had visited the Thorpe homestead Madison ave- nue for many years. He knew Mrs. able of 4ransacting business. He thought her mental calibre was about the same as that of a ten year old child.
 The witness recalled having heard Mrs. Thorpe say the property would be Wills some day. In 1911 the wit ness was told that Mrs. Thorpe had signed away the property and he ask ed her about it. She replied that she had signed no papers.
 Frederick H. Daniels testified that he had frequently visited the house. Mrs Thorpe appeared to be unable to carry on a conversation. Most of the time she made no reply to QueS- tions. On one occasion the witness asked for a glass of water and Sam ue1 Thorpe said "I'l get you a glass. That don't know enough to get it'' Another time the witness stopped Samuel Thorpe and asked whether he should leave money with Mrs. Thorpe for some apples. Don't leave any money with her, Samuel Thorpe is alleged to have said. 'tshe wouldn't know what to do with it''
 Mrs. Phoebe J. Peet said she had lived at Thorpe's house for several years. She declared Mrs Thorpe lived a queer life, never visiting the neigh bors, nor showing any interest in the life about her. Mrs. Thorpe couldn't talk inte1ligently the witness said
 William Thorpe wants the court to set aside the deed by which the prop erty was conveyed to Jeremiah Rich ardson who later transferred it to Samuel Thorpe, father of the plain tiff. It is claimed that the defendant took advantage of Mrs. Thorpe's 'un- balanced mental condition.
 The trial was still on at press hour

A quantity of pictures showing the various girls and men of the under world whom the Cavalieri girl was acquainted with is said to show many faces which have been familiar upon the streets of Bridgeport until the re- cent disclosure. These are now in the possession of State officials as we'll as local detectives who are tracing the whereabouts and actions of each.
 A peculiar book, evidently the by- laws of an Italian Secret order, was found. but being couched in peculiar language or cipher, it is understood that as yet it's exact nature has not been ascertained by those in whose possession it now is. It is thought however, it will have a material bear ing in establishing a connection be- tween all those implicated in the present shooting.
 The Stratford authorities are busily engaged in prosecuting the investiga- ton from their end, and a search throughout all the surrounding coun- try traversed by the murderers is to- day being made in the hope of To-
