Zoe" Devino Held
In Bonds OF $4,000

Guisseppi, better known as Joe"
Divivo, the owner of a saloon on Wa
ter street was arrested this morning
upon a warrant charging him with
violation of the laws of 1905 relating
to non-support and unlawful living
with another woman. His bond was
fixed at $4,000 to appear in the City
court tomorrow. r
There is mulch mystery connected
with this case, and none in authority
care to discuss the arrest The fixing
has been commented upon and the po-
lice intimate that the facts may be
somewhat sensational when disclosed.
1t is known that he has been sought
at his saloon AL Water street for over
a week, and that when officers went
to apprehend him at that time he was
gone and later heard from in New
York. A close watch was kept of the
place and this morning Patrolman
John McGovern, patrOl1ing that beat
saw him and placed him under arrest.
The prisoner made no resistance
though denying that the charges con-
tanned in the warrant were true. 1t is
specifically charged in the papers up
on which he is held that he deserted
his lawful wife Theresa Divivo and
neglected to support her while living
with another woman whose name is
unknown. As witness Luigi Divivo,
now in custody of Sheriff Vollmer at
the county Jail is mentioned.

FREICHTS PART,
Then CRASHES
IN SOUTH AVE.

Two sections of a freight train, part
ed when a drawbar pulled out, crash
ed together on the viaduct near the
foot of South avenue this afternoon
smashed in the ends of two freight
cars, disarranged traffic schedules for
a few minutes, and for a while gave
rise to reports of a bad wreck.
The freight train was about to leave
the viaduct to draw into the Whiting
street freight yards when the mishap
occurred, and the stopping of the for
ward section after the parting of the
train let the rear end pile into it with
such force as to smash in both cars.
Fortunately there were no trainmen
in the immediate proximity of the
crash and none was injured.
Though the framework of the
freight cars was pretty well demolish-
ed the trucks held the tracks and
there was little difficulty in clearing
the rails.

question whether the Massachusetts
public service commission has right
to authorize expenditures in other
states.
During the examination of Mr..
Kochersperger, it was brought out
that the New Haven's method of
charging off depreciation differed from
that employed on nearly all other sys-
TENS.
Commissioner Anderson insisted that
the commission had the right to go in
to a discussion of the subject even
though it should result in the COM
missions refusal to authorize it which
might, in turn, result in the appoint
ment of a temporary receiver for the
railroad and issuance of receivers cer-
pending a readjustment of the
New Haven finances and methods Of
bookkeeping. This, he said, he hoped
against and he believed that such a
contingency was only a scare suggest
ed by the roads counsel.
The hearing was then adjourned for
luncheon.
