 REPORT THEIR FAILURE
Bridgeport Department Con- siders Protest to Attor-
 ney-General.

An official protest against the ruling of Judge Anderson of the United States court sitting in Indianapolis, Ind, in the case of John Suhaj, alias. John ButeIa, is likely to be filed with Attorney General J. e. McReynolds by Bridgeport police department.
 Suhaj, wanted locally on a charge of having eTnbezzeleds $191 from Phar- macist Arpad Gerstl, 1889 Pembroke street, was located with difficulty re- gently. It was found that he was being tried before Judge Anderson on charges of having robbed mail boxes in Gary, Ind, and with evidence in
 dicating his being caught in the act. A Bridgeport warrant was forwarded to the Indianapolis police with the re-
 quest that it be served as soon as Suhaj should be liberated
 It cannot be served, according to 6 letter received today from Superinten- dent of Police Samuel V. Perrott of Indianapolis. as Judge Anderson has placed Suhaj under parole until No vember and has ordered the police not to interfere with him under pen, alty of being cited for contempt of court. The warrant was returned in the same letter
 Judge Anderson's ruling, as report ed in Superintendent Perrottss letter,
 has never before been encountered by local police heads and there is much conjecture as to it's meaning. The appeal to Attorney General ATcReyn- olds is being discussed seriously and
 will depend upon the result of a con- ference with Prosecuting Attorney
 Delaney. The local police heads in terpret the ruling as placing the In- 1 dfanopolis police in an awkward po-
 sition. should Suhaj take it into his head to again become responsible to the authorities
 The letter received more attention
 from police and court officials than anything coming up for a considerable I time It reads:
 lszs Replying to your letter concern- l ing John Sdhaj, alias John sButela, l will say his case came before the I United States court this morning, and, I on a plea of guilty, he was released l on parole until next November.

 was employed by Pharmacist Gerstl

 Picking up from the table in front of MT. Folk the report referring Co the Billiard Company securities, 1Iz Cromwell stated that the sum Of SIC.- 400, ,0O0 was put down as the @bcoE value of the securities and not aa the market value
 That being so, he said. The stockholders were not deceived in the slightest degree They knew that the value ascribed to the securities was a book value ''
 In reply to a previous question Dy MT. Cromwell, Mir. Skinner said the securities had a value because thay had been exchanged for securities oE the New England Investment g. 6ecur- ity Company which were ssuara.nfeed by the New Haven.
