they are indispensable servants

GIRL IDENTIFIES
 COP IN COURT
ELLA BLAU PICKS OUT PATROL MAN GREENE FROM WITNESS
 STAND AS HER ASSAILANT.

l New Haven, Oct 29-Short1y before | the close of an examination during
 which she answered question after l question fired at her by both the state | and the defense for over five hours 1 Ella Blau, the first witness to te l called in the trial of former patrol 1 identified the former patrolnnan yester- | day afternoon the man who, she claims, on the night Of May 25th, com
 mitted an assault upon her The Identification savored a little of the
 dramatic in the case which was heard
 before Judge Clark of Hartford in the
 court, as a city court trial The girl
 looked Greene in the eyes, as he was
 sitting about nine feet away from her
 in the prisoners chair. There is no
 question about it, the girl said.
 That's the man.
 When the trial was resumed yes cess, three of the states witnesses were placed on the stand to corrobo- rate the girls story One witness. little Elizabeth Allen, of 138 Chest nut street, identified Green as ltlle policeman who accosted Ella Blau on the night Of the alleged assault. near her home, and who walked away with the girl.
 City Attorney John R. Booth, an nounced that he has fifteen witnesses in all to be examined, among whom are Patrolnnan Thomas McGovern, now under suspicion, and Miss Catherine Coyle, who has been sub poenaed in connection with the charge of sllhornation of perjury which has been registered against Greene. An adjournm eIlt was taken yesterday af- ternoon until Wednesday morning.
 After a direct examination of three hours, the Blau girl was again forced to ref1earse the story she had testified to in the morning session, when At torney Jacob P. Goodhart. chief coun- sel for Greene, took up the cross-ex- animation. She did not falter but several times showed signs of tired ness and drowned as the questions were put to her sharply by GoodhaIt. She did not contradict herself and deterninedly insisted upon. the details Of the story of the alleged assault to which she had testified earlier. in the day.
 The cross-exalnination brought out the fact that during the time the po- 1iceman went into the alleyway and finally into 6, barn off Franklin street, with the girl, a crowd of boys, all members Of the Yale Hall club, stood in the alley and jeered and yelled at the pair in the darkness Interesting testimony developed late in the after noon, when through the direct exam inatton of Harry J. Schartzman of 200 Franixlin street, 8 boy IA years of the assault took place and while the police officer on trial was supposed to l have been in the aIleyway, waiting l for the crowd to leave before coming 1 of the Grand avenue station came by. l
 The police sergeant, according to | young Schartzman. saw the crowd of | boys yelling into the alley that Whether or not Sergeant Hunt heard 1 these excIamatiOns, was not testified | to, but iSchartzrnan said that the ser geant saw the crowd of boys about the alley and told them to get away. He cleared the crowd and sent them | home and then walked away

The opening of the Leagues head quarters in New York and San Fran cisco was followed by formation of branches in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Mi1wa ukee, Chicago and Omaha. In Philadelphia was enlist ed the support of Henry c. Niles, for mer Pennsylvania State chairman of the Lincoln party, a widely known re- former; Powell Evans and Samuel s.

They declin- ed to stand with the Republican par ty, because its machine domination, it's gross violation of pledges, it's ob- taining by false pretences it's success in the national election of 1908, were a travesty on conscience-an outrage on political decency. They declined to follow Col. Roosevelt out of the Republican party because they had no sympathy with the Third Term move ment.
