Spock, counsel for the New Haven road, in which was discussed a continuance of the date set for the appearance of President Charles S.

Mellen's appear ance until next Monday, though other officials are expected to appear at the continued hearing tomorrow when the railroad has signified its intention of offering all bylaws and books of rec ord demanded, through it's secretary, Arthur B.

STORES SHORTEN
 SUMMER HOURS.
Principal Mercantile Establishments to
 Close at 5
Saturday Nights Doors Will Close at g O'clock, Che Hour
 Earlier Than Usual

Tn accordance with their policy fa- voring a shorter work day for their employees. the leading stores of Bridge port have gone a step further by an nouncing today that in the future they will close at g o'clock on Saturday night instead of 10 o'clock This new schedule will go into effect Saturday of this week. Commencing tomorrow the short summer work day schedule will be in effect and all the leading stores will close at o'clock each ev- ening except Saturday through July and August.
 In announcing the shorter work day the leading merchants feel they are moving with the spirit of the times as evidenced by the manufacturers and men in the building trades who have decreed shorter working hours for their employees
 At the last session Of the General Assembly a bill was introduced pro- viding a 55 hour week throughout the year and forbidding the employment of boys between 14 and Is years of age and women after o'clock at night. The bill finally passed as amended and which will be in effect January 1 allows a 5S hour week and provides that women and boys may be employed on one day a week not later than 10 o'clock at night.
 The present law provides a 60 hour week and a 55 hour week during June, July and August. But for ten years the leading stores of Bridgeport have given their employees a. much shorter work day than the law required.
 The Bridgeport stores have been giv- ing their employees a schedule of 50 1-2 hours in summer and 55 1-2 hours during the cooler months. By closing at g on Saturday nights the big stores give their employees a still shorter day than required by law. Under the new plan the employees will work but 49 1-2 hours in summer which Is 1-2 hours less than the law requires, and 54 1-2 hours in winter. 1-2 hours less than Is reql1ired by law.
 Tn keeping with the times 1t is the aim Of the Bridgeport merchants to give their employees the shortest work day possible and at the same time give efficient service to the public.

 'I am the son ofSan Episcopal min ister. and my father was a. soldier, g replied Marsh The commission of the Governor of Connecticut is good enough for me. I shall open the safe. '
 Presently the safe door yielded to the persuasfons of the expert. and opened. zt
 In the meantime Former Judge Burnes had taken a place upon the bench and assumed to hold a. court
 Judge Tferney entered and instruct ed Deputy Sheriff Finnegan to remove Burnes. Finnegan approached the former judge and coaxeds him to go outside, but Burnes was impervious to coaxing, until Judge T1erney, becom- ing impatient, ordered Constable Geo. Jones to remove Burnes. Jones ap- preached the former judge, took him by the shoulder, and indicated the position of the doorway. Obedient to this hint, Burnes retired, accompanied as far as the door by the constable.
 Judge Tierney declared 'sJim'' Walsh in contempt, but made no declaration of punishment.
 Searching for the seal of the court Jndge Tierney learned that Former Clerk Stephen Radford had refused to release it to the possession of the court. Judge Tierney then 'dispatched a couple of officers after Radford with
