CONNECTICUT co. TELLS WHY 1T WON'T
 RELOCATE TRACKS

The Connecticut Go. is unwilling to comply with the instructions of the city to put it's tracks on Fairfield avenue in proper condition so that the city can go ahead with it's paving work. The Paving and Sewer com mission at it's meeting last night found that out when a letter was read from J. K. Punderford, general man ager The letter was in reply to one sent by Secretary Bernard Keating of the commission in which the trolley company was instructed to relay it's tracks with a grade which has been established by the city engineer.
 The trolley company letter was as follows:
 MT. Bernard Keating, Secretary Paw ing and Sever Commission, Bridge Dear Sir: " ours of the s1stf instant received. While we are. anxious to CO., operate with the city of Bridgeport as far as possible in improving the condition ..of the streets in which our tracks are laid we cannot see our way clear at this time to comply with your request of the 18th instant. Pend ing the decision of the court re ten foot centers on certain streets, it will be impossible for us to install new rails and as you undoubtedly know. the condition of the present rails in Fairfield avenue is such as to pro- hibit their use in a new pavement. As soon as we nave leEal 1OcallOn we shall proceed to install new rails and .eo7operate as far as possible in put formity with that, portion laid by the. city. s
 Yours truly
 J. K. PUNDERFORD.
 General Manager !
 The commission decided to report the communications which have been received from the trolley company to the common council, as it is up to the common council to instruct and order the commission as to what procedure it must take The council will not meet until the first Monday in Au gust. The grade has been raised Slightly in some places. The average raise is about two inches. If the street was paved on either side of the tracks and the tracks are not raised sto the level of the street they. would Hay in a trough nearly all the distance and traffic would thus be greatly ham 1pered.
 The sewer work will be. finished by Aug. 4 as the work is- progressing rap- idly. The next meeting of the con1- mission will be Aug. 6.

.EMBALMED HEAD MURDERED WOMAN
 PUT IN EVIDENCE

Cheyenne. Wyo., July 23-The em- balmed head of Mrs Warren B. Jen- kins, who was murdered in her home here, in March, was today submitted in evidence in the trial of her hus- band. It was during the examination of Dr. George P. Johnson by the pros ecution. With the head from which the golden tresses hung in long braids in his hand, Prosecuting Attorney Ridgen pushed it forward toward Johnson and asked if he could deter mine the instrument probably used by the murderer in delivering the crush ing blow that showed plainly on the sid of the skull. Johnson thought it might have been club, and when one of the Indian clubs found in the Jen- kins home was handed him, he fitted it into the indenture in the skull.
 "It fits perfectly said the doctor, 'tand unquestionably this is the in strument used.'
 The prosecution also showed that several long. golden hairs were found on this club when it was picked up at the Jenkins home.

In the Sunday Star Of October s,
there appeared challenge from
Thurlow. Academy for a game Of foot
ball with Elsmere Jrs., for a side
bet of SO. On Saturday October 5.
the above mentioned teams played a
game at Elsmere, Elsmere Jrs. win
ming so. The Thurlow team, sup
posedly 10 ID team appeared with
a lineup in which no one weighed
less than 130 lbs. In fact some weigh
ed $50 lbs. In spite OF this the Els
mere team put their regular team
in the field and held Thurlow to the
finish. After Flsmere had scored a
touchdown and with hve minutes Of
play remaining the Thurlow team
adopted a slugging style in an attempt
20 tie the score. The referee quickly
stopped this however. and penalized
Thurlow Aside from protesting
every play Thurlow tried no more
tactics not mentioned in the football
guide and consequently we're beaten.
The referee was a competent man in
every way and made his decisions in
spite Of the attempted bulldozing Of
ThurlOW. Now IhurlOW has desum-
ingly been sore over their defeat and
wish another game for stakes. This
challenge I, as manager Of Elmere
Jrs., refuse for the following reasons.
Should we play again Thurlow would
have a team out that would do Fort
Dupont credit as far as weight Is
concerned. Also. We are In the game
for the sport and will not play for
the stake Third. Elsmere Jrs., have
their schedule for 1912 full and We
could not accommodate Thurlow with
game without cancelhng on some
body else These are the reasons ws
cannot accept Thuriow's challenge
and we sincerely hope that Thurlow
will become reconciled to their de-
feat and take il like a man. Thank.
