 ROBBED ON STREET

"A bold ho1d-up was perpetrated early Monday morning on State street when woman giving her name as Miss Margaret Brown but later refus- ing her address to the police was held up and robbed of $2 which was in her purse. The thief, who had been waiting for victim in the shadows of high hedge directly back of the Sea side club, grabbed the frail woman by the throat and after partially stifIing her cries ransackedA her bag
 Many householders upon State and Lafayette street ran out of their homes, and guests of the Hotel Royal were brought bareheaded to the cor ner in time to see well dressed young man outdistance two policemen in the darkness of the later street.
 Miss Brown while at first greatly unnerved by her experience was taken from the scene by an acquaintance. Those in the vicinity say that al- though not reported in the papers this is but one of a number of similar hoId-ups.

TYING RESIDENTS.
 COMPLAIN AT LACK |0F PROPER SEWERS
Ask Board of Health to Help Thenl-NeW Regulation at Slaughter House.

The common council was severely criticized for it's laxity in placing sew ers in new sections of the city at the meeting last night Of the Board Of Health by John Heating of liz Dem gatfon of A15 property owners and res idents of Denver and Capitol avenues. They appeared in order to get the board to give some relief from the nauseating odors that arise from the cesspools that they are required to CT connections.
 A B. Keller of SIP Wayne street, complained that in his section condi- tions were as bad as, if not worse, than those existing. in Capitol avenue. Dr.. Mcclellan told the board that he had visited the section in question on several occasions, and that the conditions in the section were such that they were a menace to health and that unless the common council took steps to alleviate conditions. an epidemic is liable to start at any time. At his suggestion the board made an investigation of the section in ques- ton today
 A woman resident of Courtland street appealed to the board to do repute a few doors below her.
 The board advised her if she had any complaint to make of the moral character of the house to go to the police department.
 In the future all blood from car ,casses at the slaughter house shall be kept in a. separate receptic1e until after inspection. If owners fail to do this the inspector is given au- thority to destroy the entire amount. In order to do away with the unsani- tary conditions which prevail in the slaughter house because of the failure of owners to remove the hides and trimmings the caretaker was given authority to throw them out A new method of checking will also be in- stalled.
 Two houses on SfIliman's lane own ed by John Weldon and one at 25 Trowel street owned by F. e. SchIei- chert. will be condemned immediately unless steps are made to improve con- ditions. The owner of the property, 90 Court1and street. will be notified of the overcrowded conditions that ex- ist at that number. It is said that families of six and seven eat, sleep and cook in one room.
 Residents at the foot of Hancock avenue must extend their private sow CT to low water. Complaints state that conditions are very unsanitary with the present sewer. ATrssx Briggs of 73 Carlton street. was appointed nurse on trial at the new isolation hospital. Her salary will be $45 per month

HENRY JAMES, AUTHOR.

That distinguished American ex- patriate. Henry James. author of many volumes of fiction and essays expressing keen and analytical ra- tiocination obsoured by an unhappy tendency toward esoteric phraseology, grand master of the literary circum- Iocrtion office, New Yorker by birth and English resident by choice, son Of the famous Swedenborgian disci- pie and philosophical writer, Rev.
 Henry James, arrived in this world seventy-one years ago today. In his youth and young manhood he trav- eled over the various countries of Eu- rope, returning to Harvard to study law. but soon abandoned his legal ann bitions to devote himself to literature. Scores of novels, stories and critical essays have come from his pen, and he has exercised a profound influence on the younger school of English fic- ton writers.5 who look upon him as their master. MT. James s opinion of the work of his literary disciples is not highly fIattering and in a recent article he s'damfed with faint praise'' his most zeaTous followers

MORE OBJECTION
 TO EXTENSION OF
 HARRISON STREET

More objection to the extension of Harrisrn street was made at-4a con- tinued hearing before the board of appraisal of benefits and damages in 4fle city hall last night. D. FairchfId wheeler. president of the Bridgeport Land & Title Go, had been called by Handy & Harmon as a real estate ex- pert to say what the damages to the silver refining companys property would be- He estimated that land damages. cost of dismant1ing factory, etc. would be nearly $500
 Mr Wheeler said he favored the extension of Harrison street but not on the lines proposed He believed the street extension should be laid out SO that the street would connect directly with Lafayette street. Att @nrney James A. Marr appeared for Handy & Harmon and the Bridgeport Patent Leather CO J. H. Crossley, real estate expert who also appeared for the latter firm, said he was un- able to tell whether property values in the section would be increaSed by the extension of the street. He said that cut would undoubtedly be bene- hcia1 by anor1ing increased facilities for travel, but whether the property would be more valuable for factory purposes was prob1enaffca1
 In answer fto questions by Chair man Percy C. F,arweIlx of the apprais- al board, representatives of both com panles said that they would continue ,zn business here and had no intention of removing from the city no matter what action was taken on the exten- sion project.
 Attorney Hugh j. I.avery for the Grace Beers estate, in Broad street, eaid his clients were not opposed to the extension of the street, but they were opposed to being assessed bene- fits for ff Walter Nichols, fepresent- ing c. w. DeLYon Nichols, who owns property in Eolut1and street, was op- posed to the plan and opposed to any assessment Of benefits.
 Charles H. Poland secretary of the board Of relief. appeared for the Jen- nines Bros Mfg. Co. He said the company was not opposed to the plan to extend the street, hut its officers did not think they should be assessed special benefits, as none would ac- crue.
 The hearing was then adjourned until Friday evening at o'clock.
