GYPSY KING AND MANY SUBJECTS FOUND ASLEEP
 ALONG COOL WATERFRONT

John Martinko the gypsy king who for several months with a band of re- tainers held forth in regal style in a camp north of the LakevieW home, feasting on the fruits of foraging par ties working under his direction was again in the City Court today
 Martinko is a vagrant, confirmed in his habits of laziness, and satisf, ed to alternate between jail and a life of indolence. He spends some time along the water front here, but most of his life is in the woods in the out skirts of the city.
 Martinko and B others were arrest ed by the police Saturday night and Sunday morning. All were rounded up on railroads property and along the water front, near the foot of Wall St. Martinko was among them.
 Three of the offenders hardened Vagrants, were sentenced to 30 days in jail, Martinko among them. Two more, not so confirmed were given jail sentences of 10 days. The others, most of whom said that they had sought the waterfront to sleep to avoid the stuffiness of their lodging houses in Water street, were let go, either by Superintendent Birmingham yesterday or by Judge Foster of the city court today.
 The roundup of the sleeping va- grants resulted from a number of complaints of petty thievery along the shore, and from the railroad company's complaints of the undesirables' hav- ing taken quarters in freight cars on sidings in the vicinity.

DISTRICT CAN USE SECOND . DISTRICT SEWER City Attorney Pullman So Advises Director Jacob
 Courtade
 CONDITIONS IMPOSED Moorehouse Bros. Are Will ing to Comply With Di-
 rector's Restrictions
CONDITIONS IMPOSED

Acting upon the suggestion of City Auditor Keating, made at the recent meeting of the Paving and Sewer Commission, Director Courtade has conferred with City Attorney Pullman relative to the question of sewer priv ileges in the First and Second dis tricts, and Mr. Pullman has given the opinion that residents of the First dis trica can enjoy sewer facilities of the Second district, providing they con stRuct sewers at their own expense under the supervision of the director of public works.
 The question arose at the meeting of the Paving and Sewer Commission when City Engineer Terry stated that the Morehouse Bros, who have built five houses in the First district on Rose street were anxious to connect with the new sewer being laid in that street in the Second district. This new sewer, now under construction extends only to the line which separ- a;tes the First and Second districts. The houses are some distance from this line.1 There is no appropriation to extend the sewer into the First dis trict.
 City Attorney Pullman studied the city charter and found no page 36, section GA, that there is an ordinance which, permits an arrangement where by the sewer facilities can be extend ed to meet such a situation. The Morehouse Bros will. and in fact have, -signified their willingness to buiud an extension to- the new Rose street sewer,t at their own expense and according to specifications and regulations of the city engineer and Director Courtade. Each house con nection made on this privately con- structed sewer will cost them $25 in addition. There are five houses and it is proposed to. connect each one, So that SIPS will have to be paid, in ad- sdition to the1 cost of the extension. The. city has the right to purchase at any time in the future such extension as the MorehouseB Bros. make to the sewer t
 When City Auditor Heating made the suggestion that Director Courtade confer with the city attorney on the matter, he stated that in his opinion the Paving and Sewer Commission had no authority in the matter. and that it rested entirely with Director, Cour- tade as to whether or not permits could be issued.

 TOMORROW IN HARTFORD To Plan Ways and Means For Attending Third Term Con-
 ventiOn at Chicago

Contrary to the general impression, the meeting of the third party lead CTS to be held in Hartford tomorrow will not be of public nature. Only those invited will attend. A tele- phone message was received this af- ternoon by B. E. Barnes, chairman of the committee. on permanent or ganization in Bridgeport, from ex- Senator Frank $. Butterworth of New Haven, to that effect.
 MT. Butterworth made this state ment: T have pursued the course In regard to Bridgeport followed in other localities where there have ed and selected one person to choose eight representative men to attend the Hartford meeting. I communicate q with Henry B. Stoddard of Bridge port some days ago and instructed him to select this delegation of. rep resentative men from Bridgeport for the Hartford meeting.
 Tt is proposed at this meeting to consider ways and means for prepar- ing Connectcut's attendance andre resentation at the Chicago conventlt and also to indicate the methods by which an organization of a third party in Connecticut could best be
 
 the meeting in Hartford that those who have been clarhoring for fnfor- nation as to how to proceed in the organization of the third party move ment, will receive such information and instructions. /
 Tt is realized that prompt steps must be taken to call a state conY ton to choose, delegates for the Chi- cago convention and it was consider ed advisable to call this meeting in Hartford this early and for the pur- pose I have stated.'
 The Hartford meeting therefore is only a formal gathering of few men known to be in strong sympathy with the movement called together to take the preliminary steps. The meeting will be held at the home of MT. Ernest Smith and about 50 have been invited to attend from various points of the state. -.
 Those who have been Invited from Bridgeport are: George Fl. Me1ius, John Taylor, Henry B. Stoddard, Carl IF. Seiman, Sanford Stoddard, J. A. Rusling, Jr., Bert E. Barnes and Frank W.aRock:
 Secretary Frank W. Rock was ask ed by a reporter for The Farmer how it was that certain other men who have apparently been leaders in the movement locally, were not invited to the Hartford meeting. MT. Rock re- piled: "It is a mistaken idea that there have been any leaders in this movement thus far. Those who have been working in the movement are merely a group of workers who have been pulling together, cooperating with one another and hustling for the good of the movement. There is as yet no leader and I don't see why any one or two people should be, re- garded as such until after the local organization is formed"
