EAST END FOLKS
 COMPLAIN ABOUT SMOKE AND DOORS
Want Electric Gable Co.,, Per manentIy EnjOined from
 Building Yard Fires.

Protests of East End residents against the smoke and odor from fires in the yards of the Electric Cable Go. were heard in the superior court this morning when Judge Bennett listened to testimony in the action of Frank F. Focsik and wife against the com pany. MT. and Mrs. Focsik, who own a house in Central avenue near the plant, recently obtained an injunction restraining the company from bui1d- ing the fires. The conpany's motion was to dissolve the injunction was heard today.
 Mrs. F7ocsik said the fires were huge piles, sometimes as high as a two oil soaped bur1ap were burned and was impossible to keep a window open and to keep lace curtains clean. The garden in the rear of the Kocsik house was spoiled and the paint on the house blistered by the heat of the flames.
 Mrs. Mary Connolly, who lives in the same house. said her rent had been reduced from SIP to $10 when she objected to the smoke. Her wash ing was covered with soot and grease from the fire and she frequently had to wash the clothes again when the fire was not burning. Daniel Lynch, six house, told of the s1n oke nuisance It was related how complaint had been made to Inspector Lynch of the Health Board without any results
 Judge Bennett reserved decision Attorney George F. Mara appeared for the petitioners and Judge John w. Banks for the company.

Prods SIueths For
 SIoth, He Is Held
 As Thief They Seek

New Haven, Nov. 10-E. O. Kelsey, of this city, was arrested, today, at detective headquarters in the central station under unexpected circum- stances, charged with the theft of a ring. In September, last, Mrs. Kelsey complained to the police that their home had been entered and three rings to the value of $500 stolen.
 Today, Kelsey walked into detective headquarters and asked the depart ment what was being done toward running down the thief. One of the detectives looked at him for a mo- ment and replied: Why. we've been looking for you and think we'll take you in now. You know you pawned those three rings. You are under ar rest.''
 It developed, later, that two of the rings in question belonged to Kelsey and so the charge of theft of only one ring was placed against him.

SUNDAY BASEBALL SCHEDULED FOR
 TRIAL THIS TERM

The Sunday baseball cases will be taken up at the next term of the criminal common pleas court which conyenes in this city tomorrow. Pro- secutor Huxford said he was ready to proceed with the cases at the previous term but Attorney John c. Cham Der lain, who represents the accused, was out of the city.
 The baseball players who were ar rested for playing on Sunday at New field park were fined $15 and costs by Judge Wilder in the City court. They appealed from this. It is probable that one case will be used as 8 test in order to get a jury verdict. The players ar rested were Harvey Russell, Edward McGamwe11 and Frank Snyder.
