had examined Young carefully before
the fight and that he was in perfect
physical condition. He ventured the
opinion that Young's injuries were
received when his head struck the

declared today that the blow that
felled Young was much lighter than

Dinner Planned for
Eddie Poll BY His
College Associates
Son of Amusement Magnate Plans t,
Take Up Fathers Big Interests

The Stratheld hotel tonight is to be
the scene of a, very pretty little din
ner to a young man who is destined
to become a factor in the amusement
ventures of Bridgeport if not in the
national theatrical deld-should he
display those brilliant qualities which
his father has long since unfolded to
the world The young man who is
to be the recipient of high honors from
his local and college friends is Eddie
Poll, son of S. z. Poll, of -Woodnont
and New Haven, owner of the Poll
and Plaza theatres in this city as well
as a chain of similar stock and vau-
deviIle houses throughout New Eng
land and Pennsylvania
Eddie Poll has just attained his ma
jority, and though he has been stu
dent at the University Of Pennsy1-
vania, where he took high honors and
made a large circle of friends, it is his
fathers desire that he leave that in
stitution and begin his education in
the practical operation of amusement
enterprises. Few young men are for
tunate enough to secure such a large
field in which to make observations
or have such eminent instructors as
will be his father and those associat-
ed with him.
At the dinner tonight many of his
former classmates will be present
and others from New Haven and
Bridgeport. Performers from the
Poll Main street theatre will enter
tain at the conclusion.

A large number of cases were
hastily despatched this morning in the
city court, Judge Wilder presiding.
Mayor Clifford B. Wilson was among
the spectators present. The mayor
was in interested in the disposition of
a prisoner being prosecuted by an in
dennity company, for which he was
former counsel in Bridgeport.
The party was Harry st. George,
alias Rogers charged with taking
-$2y5T7-50 funds from an estate over
which he had been appointed admin
istrator. It is alleged that he divert
ed these monies, paid by the New Ha-
ven road for the death of Mrs. Rogers
and daughter. to himself, thereby de-
frauding his own daughters.
ST. George, or Rogers as he is
known here, waived examination by
entering technical plea of guilty
that the case might be tried at the
present term Of the superior court
That he might secure his release if
possible his bonds were reduced from
$1,000 to $4,000 by Judge Wilder at
his request, He was not represented
by counsel.
Three other prisoners were found
guilty of probable cause and bound
over for the December term of the
superior court They were Thomas
Evans of New York, charged with
rape upon Nellie Bauer, 15 years old !;
George Butterick, 10, and John Folk
enberg, of New York. Though the
two latter were arraigned upon war
rants accusing them of being idle per-
sons with no visible means of support
the court would not entertain the
charge and ordered that it be changed
to statutory rape. Both were irnpIi-
Gated with Evans in the bringing to
this state for immoral purposes Nellie
Bauer and Ella Nelson, 4 years old.
Miss Ann Brooks with whom they
roomed while in the city testified as
to the events which resulted in their
arrest. Evans bonds were set at
50, 600. The other two prisoners are
held in 5 900 bonds. Both girls are
committed to the Innocent's ward of
the Home of the Good Shepard, Hart
ford as incorrigib1e children, to await
trial when they will be material wit
nesses. An attempt to quash the
charges against the youths was frus-
trated by the Bauer girls father and
mother who refused to countenance a
marriage when they learned the repu-
ton the men held.
Mrs. Theresa Devita was this morn
ing taken from her quarters with Ma
tron Jack at police headquarters to

dure papers secured in the superior

Rumors of Kidnapping
Keep Thaw Guards Busy

Co1ebrook, N. H, Sept. 13-After
another night sprinkled with rumors
of Kidnapping, Harry K. Thaw awoke,
today, to gaze out upon ra1n-Soaked
streets and to confer with counsel re-
garding the hearing before Governor
Felker at Concord on his extradition
to the state Of New York. This hear
ing, according to understanding of the
Thaw counsel, may result in Thaw be-
ing extradited direct to New York
state.
Neither side trusting the other and
Thaw's special guards trusting neither
side, all hands kept watch at the hotel
where Thaw is housed until we'll after

reporter, sure that the presence of
some strange men and automobiles
about the building meant no good

Sheriff Drew, who had retired, ran in
to the hall in his nightshirt and 20
reporters, half dressed and disheve1-
led, dashed down to the lobby to tele-
phone for automobiles. Women guests
peeked from behind doors on the
verge of Mysteries and the Thaw
guards, worried but ignorant of what
was the matter, massed themselves in
front of the door. Thaw himself did
not wake up, at any rate he did not
show himself.
William Travers Jerome slept just
as sound1y, though Franklin Kennedy,
deputy attorney general from New
York, appeared for a few moment un-
til he satisfied himself that Thaw was
safe. A handful of Canadians remain

he learned that the sheriff had chang
