Trusted Employe of Handy &
Harman Charged With
Maintaining Secret
SmeIter.
CASE PROMISES
MANY SENSATIONS
Wife of Prisoner Almost Pros
trated With Shock of Ex-
pOSure-Accused Furn-
iSheS Bail.

Tales Of the ttre1ess efforts of the
alchernists of olden days are recalled
in the story being woven together at
police headquarters with Albert B.
Glines of s32 Iranistan avenue, head
chemist at the Handy & Hartman plant
at 2o2 John street, as the principal fig
ure. Charged specifically with the
theft of $3.50 in refined metals and
through a clever system, he was ar
ra1gned before Judge Thomas c.
Cough1in- in city court this morning
and a continuance granted until Oc-
tober under bonds of $1,000. When
arrested yesterday by Detective Ser
rgeant Edward Cronan of police head
quarters, he put up his bank book
for a bond. No response came when
the name was called this morning and
the bond had been declared forfeited
when it was found that he was in the
office of Captain of Detectives George
H Arnold. The case was reopen
ed.
Although $3.50 is charged as the
amount taken, the police believe that
continued investigation will show that
the amount missing will total a much
larger sum. Information in the pos
session of the police lead them to
believe that the concern has been
rebked systematically during the past
year -
of the assay work, the redeeming of
the gold, silver and copper from ma
terials purchased by the concern and
the refining of the metals from the
crude ore. 1t is believed that a con-
siderable amount of the material was
taken in this manner. Police investi-
cation has been to the effect that
Gl1nes had a small smelter in the cell
lar at his Iranistan avenue home and
did some of the work there evenings
and during spare time.
No reason has thus far been secur-
ed concerning the reason for the pro-
ceoure- He is reported as receiving
a year salary of 81 800 and is not
known to have lived beyond his means
Much sympathy is felt for Mrs
Glines and her interview with the po-
lice and officials of the concern is
reported to have been affecting. Ac-
eordfng to the report she told them
that she couldn't lie and would tell
all that she knows about the case
She is nearly prostrated and is not
suspected of having even an intfna-
ton of the procedure of which her
hueband is accused
Frank S. Pond a chemist living at
Aspetuck was arrested this afternoon
in the vicinity of Stamford by Detec-
tive Cronan. He was brought to
Bridgeport this afternoon charged
with theft, as an accomplice of G1ines
and his bond set at $4,000 At press
hour today Pond was trying to secure
a bondsman.
Pond, until about a year and a half
ago, was the head chemist at the
Handy & Harman plant. Now is con
nected with the Elm Refining Com
pany at Stamford and is reported as
having an interest in the concern
Glines was assistant to Pond at the
John street refining plant and sue
ceeded him. 1t is alleged that he has
been selling some of the metal to
Pond since he left. Detective James
Bray accom- panied Detective Sergeant

with the petition for the reduction ia
the price of gas made by Repreeenfa-
tives John n. HfcBfurray Lynn W
Wilson and many citizens of Bridge
port, the continued hearing on which
is in progress in this city today
The report of Accountant Field con-
tains some other interesting facts. In
1908, for instance, a single dividend
was paid, amounting to S3SO,OOO
which was considerably more than
the amount of their cash the stock
holders had invested in the property
at that date.
Since 1909 dividends of eight per
cent per annum have been paid, SO
that a stockhoIder who shared in the
melon cutting, when two and one
thirds shares was given to each hold
er of one share, has received for four
years aidividend equal to twenty-four
per cent. per annum upon his original
investment
Mr.. Field compares Bird dgeport with
Fall River. where gas is stold at 80
cents, Lawrence where it is sold at
80 cents, Maiden where it is sold at 95
cents and New Bedford where 1t is
sold at 80 cents, with Bridgeport,
where gas is sold at 81 per thousand
cubic feet.
He shows that the cost of nlanufac-
turing gas in Bridgeport is less than
ffty-three and one half cents per
thousand cubic feet.
Up to 1901 the Bridgeport Company
paid dividends of ten per cent. per
annum.
After the big melon cut in 1902
dividends were suspended for seven
years, but the suspended dividend was
then paid all at once, in a single pay
ment of $SSO,oOO, which was five per
cent. the melon, and nearly II per
cent. per annum for the actual return
on the investment in the single share
of stock which entitled to two and
one-third shares of the melon cut
The petitioner argued before the
commission that upon the mere show
ing of the commission expert, the
price of gas ought to go at least to
SIS cents, with the prospect of a re-
duction to 80 cents within a year or
two.
This claim was made by Represen-
tatives Wilson and McMurray upon
upon the law that a gas company is
entitled to a fair return only upon
the property being used in the bUsi-
ness at the time the complaint is
made.
The fact that the company has cut
melons, watered its stock, or paid
fictitious prices for othe property en-
titles it to no profits on securities so
issued.
The petitioners asserted that the
report of Mr.. Field shows that during
eleven years the Bridgeport Gas Light
Company has charged the people of
$1,2OO,OOO more than
would have been a fair price under
the law.

Westport, Oct. "a tug of war with
their p months old child as the prize
took place at Main and State streets
in Westport's center yesterday after
noon between former Selectman Geo.
S. Jennings, scion of a prominent tam
lily and well-to-do, and his wife Alex
drine Fullerton Jennings, who is su-
| ing him for divorce, alleging intol-
| erable cruelty.
Following a hearing in the Office of
Justice of the Peace Samuel A. Pur-
dp in which hearing the separated
couple were vitality Interested, the Jen-
nings met in the street before the
court room. Mrs. Jennings was carry
ing her q months old child, George S.
Jennings, Jr. Her husband demanded
that his son be returned to him ant
when his request was refused he rush
ed at his wife and it is alleged kicked
her in the stomach. Mrs. Jennings
cIung desperately to the child fighting
back at her husband with all the
strength she could command Wit
nesses saw the mother with her free
hand tear at her husbands hair while
the latter made every effort to wrest
the boy from his mothers control.
Then began the tug-of-war with the
mother holding onto the c11ilds hands
and the father pulling and hauling
at his sons feet. All the time the
frantic mother, driven to desperation
and shouting and crying at the top
of her voice besought bystanders to
strike down her husband. Witnesses
did not lend a hand. The little tot,
screaming. and crying, unable ito aid
himself between cries kept calling
Mamma, Mammal and once when
one little foot was freed kicked at his
father. The greater strength. of the
determined father told and he soon
wrested free the child which he car
ried with him to his automobile and
whisked away, leaving the wailing
mother sobbing on the sidewalk.
The troubles of the Jennings have
been long and varied. They were mar
ried in New York in 1908 and have but
the one child, the son over whom they
fought Shortly after their marriage
they separated and run1or had it that
divorce proceedings were to be started,
but friends patched up their differ
ences and they lived with each other
again.
Several weeks ago Mrs Jennings
left her husband. Shortly afterwards,
Jennings caused to be published in
several newspapers a notice in
forming the public that, his wife hav-
ing left his bed and board, he would
no longer be responsible for bills con-
tracted by her in his name. About
two weeks ago Mrs. Jennings, through
her counsel, Attorney E1more S. Banks
of Fairfield, instituted divorce pro-

Congress Takes Final Step To-

Democratic Reform Meas
ure For the Presidents
Signature.
PROMINENT DEMOCRATS
WILL WITNESS THE EVENT

Washington, D. c., Oct. 3.-The
House agreed to the tariff conference
report at 1:22 today, constituting the
final action of that body on the tariff
| bill. Speaker Clark oVerruled al
points of order made by members who
| contended that further action by the
House was not necessary.
Vice-President Marshall signed the
bill at 1874 p. m.
Speaker Clark Immediately after
ward signed the bill, aftixing his sig
nature at 1:25 o'clock Cheers and ap-
plause greeted the final action of the
House The completed bill was sent
on it's way to the Senate for the sig
nature of the e-President when it
will be ready for transmission to the
White House where the President will
sign it at o'clock tonight.
Washington, Oct. S.-President will
son began work today with the pros
measure of his administration and the
first Democratic tariff revision bill
passed in nearly d score of years.
Democratic leaders of the House and
Senate had smoothed the way for the
last Legislative step for the approval
of the bff4; congressionaIl clerks had
engrossed and prepared the huge doc
ument for the Presidents signature
and it remained only to secure the for
NAL a7t1@A of the House in recedtng
from its cotton futures tax amend
ment to complete the tariff bill.
Embraced in the legislation, which
has been pending in Congress since
April 8th, is a complete revision and a
general reduction of nearly all the i'm
port duties levied by this government
on foreign merchandise; a new income
tax that will strike every person hav-
ing a net income above So, ,O0O and an
array of important changes in Gus
toms laws and internal revenue reg
ulations which will keep treasury de-
partment officials busy for many
months in adjusting administrative af-
fairs and will have an important bear
ing on all trade developments of the
country for the next year or two.
No differences the tariff bill re-
mained to be settled in Congress when
the two, houses met at noon, except
the cotton futures question The SEN
ate had receded last Light from Ihe
Clark amendment designed to prevent
ga milling in futures, and Democra tic
Leader Underwood was confident that
the House would today recede from
it's own amendment, known as the
Smith-Lever compromise.
While the latter amendment had the
support of President Wilson, the Pres
ident made it plain that he did not
think the regulation of cotton trading
was an essential part of a tariff bill
and that he would not object to hav-
ing the etnire matter dropped out and
taken up later in a separate bill.
President Wilson, after a conference
with administration leaders early to-
day, planned to sign the tariff bill at
9 o'clock tonight. Arrangements. for
ceremonies to attend the final act in
the prolonged tariff legislation were
made by the President as soon as it
