Heavy Penalty Given
 To Bicycle Thief

Almost the ma ximum penalty pre- scribed by the law for. the theft of bicycles was today imposed by Judge Frank L. Wilder upon AIifo Massin- ino. a young Italian candy-1naker ar raigned for the second time in week walk. A thirty day sentence had for merly been appealed when he was charged on Tuesday last with the taking of a, bicycle from Water St. On Friday last Edward Bassick left his wheel upon the curb on Cannon street. When he came back shortly afterwards the wheel had disappeared. Fox was detailed to trace it. He learned from Harry Grand a dealer at 427 Stratford avenue that a. wheel answering the description had been sold to him by Massinino for the sum of $8 and the arrest followed. The ac- cused this morning presented the same defense as previously, that he had purchased it from a stranger up- on Lafayette street. A fine of $25, ac- coInpanied with a thirty days jail sem tence was neted in evident effort on the part of the court to break up the systena tic thievery. of wheels which has been on the increase iate- Iy.
 Detective Fox, who Is the -officia,l guardian of the Bridgeport bicycles will be able to restore to it's right full owner one taken from Louis Beautle, 520 Warren street, some weeks ago He received word. from New Ha- ven this morning that the thief sus- pected of taking it had been caught day sentence for being an idle person. A confession was obtained and upon comp mp1etion of his term the prisoner will be brought here to stand trial.

MAYOR C. B. WILSON QUITS
 PART OF PLAN
Decides Today to Let Reg istrars of Voters Name
 Election Workers

At 12.3o today Mayor Wilson de- cided to permit the election workers to be named by the registrars. The Mayor had been urged to abate the special election as, much as possible, and abandoned so much of his orig inal plans included the appoint tnent of election officials himself
 As for the workers at the polls the mayor now states that the general registrars of voters will announce the list is expected to be Completed by then,'' said the mayor. His honor was asked why he had changed his mind himself He replied: q don't know that I ever had it in mind to name the election officials myself"
 But you stated yesterday that you had not completed the list Of election officials commented the reporter
 True enough I haven't; that will be up to the registrars. : smiled the mayor a rejoiner.
 In conversation with member of the board of registrars, a day Or so ago, the reporter was informed that .'efforts have been made to find out something about this special election, whether we are expected to name the election officials or not. but we didn't told us that he would name the cleo ton officials himself. Of course we don't care; in fact it makes it better for us because we don't have to spend that much more time from our regu- lar work. But the arrangement is ir regular. The registrars usually name election officials whether at a spe- cia1 election or regular election"
 All along the mayor has given those who have made inquiries to under stand that he was to name the cleo ton officials himself and that the reg istrars would have nothing to do with it..
 The ballots that are to be used were. received at the town clerks office to- day from the Connecticut Press.

Authorities to Look Into Strange Case of
 Comedy Young Prisoner

The strange case of Margaret Jobe a comely young woman, arrested upon a charge of drunkenness last night in the hallway of a. saloon opposite the Hotel Stratfield upon the complaint of citizens that she was creating a disturbance, is being investigated by the prob ation officers attached to the City court. Sentence was suspended by JNdge Frank L. Wilder, with the recommendation that her pathetic story be investigated and if true, a helping hand be extended towards again restoring her to home and hap piness-
 But meagre synopsis of her sad history was divu1ged in court, as she firmly withheld the particulars in volving her identifica ton, preferring a jail term to disclosure of her past. According to her discennected relation she came to Bridgeport from New York on Monday last, leaving her hus- band in that city where they had been employed as butler and maid in the home Of a wealthy family living upon East 57th street She had often suffered from nervous relapse and last night meeting an elderly woman during one of her lapses she was in duced to take some stimulant in an effort to relieve. her agitation The effect. she alleged was to make her hysterical. with the result that she fully denied being intoxicated although the evidence presented by the officer was conclusive. Her story will be in vestigated with a view to affecting a reconciliation with her husband.
