POLICE GETTING
FAMILIAR WITH
NEW CONDITIONS
Superintendent Birmingham is
One of Busiest Men in City
These Days

One of the busiest men in the city
today is Chief of Police Eugene Biz
mingham. Supervision over the new
details and the various report-formz
which are arriving almost hourly in
his Office requires the strictest observ-
ance.
The newly inaugurated system is
gradually shaping itself into smoother
running order, and while Iieutenants,
sergeants and patrolmen are school
ing themselves under the new regime,
there are yet many intricacies to be
overcome.
1t is expected that new and even
more stringent orders than ever before
governing the police body are about
to be issued. While they are not fully
disclosed, it is intimated that the DO
lice will be required to notice, report
and in some cases arrest violators of
ordinances which have heretofore been
tacitly left to the street cleaning and
health departments. An instance is
cited of the throwing of refuse upon
dumping grounds located on private
property. Where waste paper, or other
matter than dirt or common ashes is
thrown into vacant lots it has here
tofore been the practice of nefghbors
to report the matter to the Board of
Health. This is said to come directly
under police supervision and it is in
timated that forth orders to the
police will hold them strictly account
able for such instances upon their
posts of duty
Likewise where the sweeping of
door-yards and sidewalks into the
cfty's streets or the throwing of rancid
meat or fish heads into the cutters
has been made the subject of street.
cleaning work, policemen will be call
ed to account if the expected orders
are issued.
1t is further intirns.ted that Iaxity
upon the part of patrolmen in permit
ting infractions Of any of the ordi-
nances, such as the presence of bfcy-
cles seen after nightfan without light
ed lamp or bell, horses tied to trolley
stop posts, or wagons left upon cross
walks, if observed by the sergeants
will be the subject Of severe repri-
mand by the department head.
While captains are not so frequently
seen in police stations, it is current
in police circles that they are not un-
engaged upon the streets where they
are known to be busy in familiarizi,g
themselves with the most minute de-
tails of the resorts running in their
districts. It is regarded as certain
that any violation of laws in hotels,
saloons or moving-picture theatres
will be transmitted directly by written
report through the superintendent of
police to the commissioners for possf-
bile revocation of license. Fully cog
infant of this possibility the greatest
care is being exercised in every Ii
censed place in Bridgeport today.

HURLEY BR|BE
investigators
FINISH REPORT
PrObers Expected to Submit Evil
dence But No Recommends
tiOns to Senate

Hartford, April 3-The Hurley brib-
cry investigating committee has con-
cluded its 1abors and has drafted its
report to which Senators IsbeI and
McDonough agree. The absence from
the State Of Senator Peck, the third
member of the committee, necessitates
delay in submitting the report to the
Senate, probably until next week.
While the nature of the report is
not kno wn, it is understood that it
will quote from the evidence of Sen
ator Hurley and Senate Messenger
Mathew Phelan, of Waterbury, in
which they made the direct charge
that John A. Judge did offer in
ducement in the nature of a. br1be for
Mr.. Hurley's vote on the highway
conmisionership.
The report also, it is understood, will
point out that at the final hearing
Senator Hurley changed his evidence
in regard to the exact nature of the
words used ty Mr.. Judge in making
and urging the alleged bribe.
The committee will submit it's re-
port and let the Senate draw its own
conclusions, it is understood. The
committee viii probably not make any
recommendation

AMBER SET FOR

ment
Autograph Letter Of AppreCia'
ton for Former Gift from
E. |. gaylord

Of particular interest in connection
with the recent death of the noted
financier and art connoisseur, J. P.
Morgan, is a unique smoking set and
autograph letter displayed today in
the windows of the Wallis Art Store
on State street.
This set was made by artisan in
amber well known in this city, Ed
ward L. Gaylord, whose little shop To-
Gated in the rear of 317 Lafayette
street has been the cradle for many
handsome and artistic amber crea-
tions now reposfng in the galleries
and homes of famous collectors.
1t is composed of two crystal to-
bacco and cigar jars with inlaid tops
of am Der, an amber goblet, traced in
conventional design and bearing in
Ecriptions; two amber cigar holders,
inIatd with gold, two colored amber
pipes which are conceded very rare,
and amber pipe cleaner, gold ash
trays and a few other minor articles
set upon a crystal, copper-bound
tray, surrn ounted by handsomely in
laid handles of bracelet design, made
from rare blue amber.
While not of high intrinsic value,
its worth may be estimated from the
fact that after having seen it F. J.
KaIdenburg, director of the Metro
politan Museum of Art at New York,
recommended It's purchase to Mr..
Morgan, to whom it was about to be
sent when news of his death was re-
cefved here. It will now enter other
hands.
This is not the first work of art
originated for the late hnancier as the

ceipt of a handsome amber, goblet

The Letter reads:

greatly and shall retain it as a SOU

of art will certainly meet with great

Roses troubles with the New York
gunmen have evidently inspired his
local friends with terror. He invited
several to have drink but they all
declined, fearing that some enemy of
Rose might fire at the gambler and
accidentally hit an innocent bystander.
Although he has been q gambler
for years and has been accused of
consorting with gunmen, Rose is a
very mild person in private life. He
is soft spoken, dresses in good taste
and is fine talker. A stranger would
never suspect he had been implicated
in the notorious Becker case.
He came to this city from Boston
where he had been visiting friends.
He met number of old friends here
yesterday who rem rendered him when
he conducted the fremont hotel In
Middle street and held boxing shows
at the old Park City theatre.

to commit suicide today by drinking
two ounces of a, mixture of 1audanun

when he drank the mixture and the
first his fellow workmen knew of his
suicidal intent was when he handed
the bottle to one of them with the
request that he take it to the home of
a raItive saying that by the time he
had delivered the bottle he, Burke,
would be dead.
Physicians were summoned and af-
