HlRSCHBERG TAKES
 SIMON'S POSITION
 IN THE CITY COURT

Irrespective of reported deniaIs that Sigmund Hirschberg, the Water street clothing merchant, would not be ap- pointed official court interpreter in . the city court, Judge Thomas C. CoIgh1in called him repeatedly this morning to offficate in the position formerly occupied by Detective George Simons.
 In fact the initial appearance of Hirschberg, was productive of large returns, as 1t seemed that almost the bulk of the numerous offenses against the law on Saturday and Sunday vera committed by Polish speaking people. Hirschberg will draw down fully six fees for his mornings work and In all interpreted for about fifteen in- dividuals According to the establish ed custom he will collect for each case on which he was called
 The new official, neatly dressed in blue serge suit and wearing small rose in the lapel of his coat was first inclined to be somewhat nervous ana the clerk was compelled to ask him to properly see that each witness ac- cepted the oath. He was also inclined to converse with the witness in low voice Later he regained his confi- dencee and performed the duties more regularly.
 Hrschberg is today quoted as say ing that he was given the berth some days ago by Judge Coughlin himself and the published denials of such patronag ge-distribution are thought to have been mfsinterpreted from con versatfons with officials of the court
 In fact the change in interpreters is not limited to the busting of Simons but includes no less parsonage than Luke c. Petruschel, who for con siderable length of time has handled Italian cases. His place is taken by Pasqua.lle Ma1neri, better known as Patsy Miner.'' Though Matneri has been in evidence about the court room for several days his first real days work was recorded this morning. He participated in two or three larger cases.

 TO PORT JEFFERSON TODAY

The matinee excursions that are now given daily on the Steamer Park city to Port Jefferson, N. r., are proving very popular, as was shown by the first excursion this afternoon for the season of 1913. The steamer leaves the wharf at the foot of Fair 6ield avenue, Bridgeport, at 1:3O p. m. The trip across the sound takes one hour and thirty minutes, thus allowing one hour and a half in the very pie turesQue village on Long Island. The return trip is made at 4:30 p. m., the steamer arriving in Bridgeport at 6 o'clock There is no pleasanter way to spend an afternoon

SHEPHERD STILL UNCONSCIOUS
tcontfnued from Page oneo


 Joseph DeTbridge, his daughter law, Byron Eddy, were eye witnesses of the smash. They are residents of Center street. Miss Delbr1dge stated that the Pierce-Arrow car had gone down to the beach only a short while before, a young lady being at the wheel. She saw the machine return ing and noticing its great speed re- marked to her father, Going some.'' At the same time she jumped from the veranda. and ran into the road. 'sI wanted to see the machine take the corner" she said. Instead saw the smash up.'' Asked if she knew who was at the wheel at the time she stated that the machine whizzed by her house at such great speed that it was impossible to identify the forms. Her grandfather, MT. Eddy corrobor- ated her statements. Question as to the speed of the Bridgeport machine, Miss Delbrfdge said: ''It was proceed ing at a comfortable rate. I wouldn't call 1t speeding"
 Gurdon Williams expressed it as his opinion this afternoon that the driver of the Winant machine noting that he could not stop his machine in time to prevent a collision put on all possible speed to pass ahead of the Bridgeport vehicle.
 At the Ga1en hospital this afternoon at press hour it was stated that MT. Shepherd was in a semi-conscious condition and that there were hopes that trepanning would be unneces- sary. Developments would have to be awaited as his injuries were within the brain case, there being no exter- nal manifestations.

STIFF FINES FOR
 RUNNING LOTTERY

New Haven, June 2s.-A few days ago the police arrested number of men who were dealing in tickets for lotteries run in Italy. Today. in court, City Attorney Booth said that he did not believe the penalty of fines was severe enough for the offense. He told the court that oftentines persons invested in these Italian lotteries wf1o o could not afford it and moreover they entrusted their money to men of whom they knew little and were un- able to even ascertain if the money went to Italy. It gave opportunity for
 men to obeain money with intention to use it themselves. MT. Booth be- neved that Jail sentences would be better punishment. After considering all the facts Judge Hoyt imposed $50 and costs while those who had a sec- ond trial were assessed SIS.
