I know several women who have the

they're women who think marriage

they have conscientious scruples

"Mr. Buttyn would never let me per-

in the latter he was most anxious to
learn who had won the big race; but,
failing to extract the information from

the night In dismal ignorance. When
next morning the policeman came to
take him to court he renewed his in

 In the office of the city clerk today. it was said the only notice sent out relative to the Stratford avenue pave ment was a notice by advertisement, July 1, which was merely notice to interested parties to attend a public hearing upon the proposal to pave the street.
 This was not a compliance with the statute, and unless it shall appear that more adequate notice has been sent, the city cannot legally demand that the Connecticut company lay any pave ment whatever, Stratford avenue. s

CONNECTICUT COMPANY HOLDS UP STRAT[O AVENUE PAVING
 NO ORDER ISSUED TO THEM
City Appears Not To Have Taken Necessary Legal Steps To Compel Company To
 Do Its Share -0f The Work

It doesn't look very much as if the paving of Fairfield avenue would be hastened. The Connecticut Company isn't prepared to do the work, hasn't ordered the material, and don't intend to move until the Common Council has acted upon it's petition for ten foot centers.
 These facts materialized at a con- sultation< between representatives of the Connecticut Company, members of the Paving Commission and Mayor Clifford B. Wilson.
 It further transpired, upon inquiry today, that the city is not in a posi- tion to enforce it's order to pave Strat- ford avenue, against the company, be- cause it has never taken the proper legal steps to order the company'e share of the work done.
 To all the property holders upon Stratford avenue due notice has been sent, to set back curbs, cut down trees, fix water and gas connections and so on.
 The right given to the city to re- quire the Connecticut Company to pave a portion of Stratford avenue, is given under Section 3sS7. The statute pro-

CLIENT STEERING. SCANDAL BREAKS
 IN CITY COURT
interesting SldeIIght On How Some Lawyers Get Business

August Brill, for the first time since his being barred from the City Court by Judge Carl Foster, appeared in the role of associate counsel in that tribunal, where he assisted Attorney Jesse Stewart in the defense of John Santosky, a Russian, accused of as- sault upon Stanislaus Belida.
 The case was not only sensational in the charges made that the police while having one prisoner in jail for a crime were the scape-goats for a gang who wished to place an innocent man in the place of the man now awaiting trial before the superior court, but resulted in intimations of crooked practice upon the part of a police officers as well as others semi officially connected with court prac- tice.
 John SantoskK, IS years old, living on Ha1lett street is accused of assault The assault previously resulted in one John Mascovitch being bound over for assault with intent to kill under bonds of $1,00O. The fight, which took place after a christening at Church and HaIIett streets on the night of July 31, resulted in Stanis- laus Benda. being sent to a hospital with severe bruises and contusions about the body. It was alleged by the police that SantoskyG kicked the victim when prostrate Nupon the ground.
 Detective George Simons was placed upon the witness stand. He was ask ed to tell what statements or con fessions the prisoner had made upon his arrest. Attorney Stewart objected to the acceptance of Sinons' testimony upon the grounds that it had been stated Simons had attempted to inf1u- ence the prisoner in securing counsel l e7 ,1,T1 | eration before the court. Simons was temporarily excused and two witness es testified for the prosecution that 1 Santosky had been seen to kick the prisoner. Officer Simons was again placed upon the stand and denied that he had made any such statements as | alleged to the prisoner. He had
 merely been asked by the prisoner if
 he should retain a lawyer and had i advised the prisoner that under sirni-
 lar circumstances he (Simons) would | secure counsel He had made no at-
 tempt at suggesting any particular | lawyer. 4 Witnesses for the defense were then 1 heard and intimations of the prisoner | that an attempt had been made to steer him to a lawyer were resented
 both by the court and prosecuting at i torney as unjust and unwarranted | Absolute confidence was expressed ir the honesty and practice of the detec- tive. Attorney Stewart wished tc place a further witness upon the stand
 to tell what he knew of the attempt
 Gray stated that he would like to have ! this done and would show conclusivelJ

 simple assault and that he would no 1 consider any impeachment of Office l Sirnon's testimony.
 In summing up for the prosecution Gray said that Officer Simons was ap
 parently in bad odor with some law

yers who had been more successful in having eases steered their way than apparently those whom Officer Simons was unjustIx accused of attempting to aid. Had T been permitted, '' said Gray, .sI vouldg have shown this court just how this matter has been adjust ed'
 During the trial much difficulty was experienced in the interpretation of answers from the witnesses for the de- fense who spoke Polish, Slavish, Lii thuanian and Russian dialect In the case of the prisoner who was Russian much apparent evasion to questions was noticeable and Interpreter Sig mund Hirschberg was compelled to withdraw, admitting that he could not interpret that dialect
 Attorney Stewart in rebuttal said: ''This is only a case where your honor has bound over one man for assault with intent to kill and they are try ing to save him and charge another man with the crime in his place"
 Judge CoughIin refused to accept this statement as true, saying full evidence had been presented against the man now awaiting trial and that the prisoner at the bar was merely charged with simple assault in having kicked Baleda. He found him guilty and imposed a fine of $10 and costs. The feeling between prosecuting of1- ciaIs, court interpreters and those semi officially connected with the po- lice in Polish cases today runs high and much recrimination is heard.
