COST OF ANGLE
 TRIAL TO STATE
 FIXED AT S5,OOO
Heavy Expense Attached to Stamford .Woman's Trial
 For Manslaughter.

The trial of Mrs.a Helen M Angle, the Stamford woman acquitted in the criminal superior court here of the charge of smans1aughter in connection with the death of Waldo R. Ballou. cost the state of Connecticut $5, GOO. The costs have not yet been formally presented to the court but it is uun- derstood that the above amount is correct.
 The trial, which took place before Judge Williams and a jury, lasted three weeks. Considering the length of the trial the cost is not considered unusual. There have been several big trials of about the same length in pre- vious years, which have cost as much as the Angle case.
 Mrs. Angle was accused of respon- sibility for the death of BalIou because his body was found ir1 front of her apartment where he had been visiting the night he died.r Mrs. Angle admit ted Banou had been a caller but she denied having killed him.

WILL ORGANIZE
 CITY COURT ON
 FOURTH OF JUNE
Delaney and Gray to Re main Prosecuting Off
 cials of Tribunal.

Here are the officials of the next city court which comes in on June as prepared and endorsed by the Re- publican machine:
 Judge, Frederick A. Bartlett
 Deputy judge, Frank l.. Wilder.
 Prosecuting attorney, AIe0an-
 der l.. Delaney.
 Assistant prosecuting attorney,
 John P. Gray.
 Clerk, E. Earle Garlick.
 Assistant clerk, Charles A.
 Hopwood.
 There will be no change in the probation officers but Judge Bartlett will probably designate several oft1- cia1 interpreters who will act during his term of office. These interpre- ters will be given the preference in all eases where the serices of an inter preter are required.
 Judge Bartlett and Deputy Judge Wilder were named by the legislature although it was freely predicted that Judge Wilder would be dropped this time in favor of some one else. On June Judge Wilder will begin his fifth term a, city court official
 The other officers in the city court are to be appointed by Judge Bart lett, but the latter will consider the wishes of the Republican machine o0Ioi . iiis1hIHS HIS aLiIoeii
 There never has been any question about the reappointment of Prosecu- tor" Delaney. A number of young Republican lawyers have sought the place of assistant prosecutor for this term of the city court but by allowing John P. Gray to retain the position for another term the Republican fix CTS rid themselves of the necessity of making a choice among the many aspirants and prevent the ill feeling which is sure to ensue if one of the younger men were named.

 Following a conference with local union officials today, it was decided to back the decision of the latter to the utmost. A special meeting of the union that had been planned for tonight to deal with the situation has been called off. as the local union men are determined to stick by their guns.

 Two hundred men will be imported to work on the job by Vice President Thornton as soon as they can be ob- tained.
 On the job this morning there were 115 men. Superintendent Griest de- cIared the work is progressing, and that no demonstrations have been made.

RETREAT OF RUSSIANS
 HELD TO BE STRATEGIC

London, May 27-Notwit hstanding the superb weather, the contenders in the western arena of hostilities, req 1izing the terrible losses even an in significant advance entails, have re- verted, generally speaking, to the trench warfare of the winter and it is Galicia, on the east; the DardanelIes and perhaps the Italo-Austrian iron tier which are most likely to furnish spectacular developments during the next fortnight.
 The Russians at last have admit ted the extent of their retreat from the Dunajec ito the San and while they profess that the Austro- German rush has been held up and that Przemysl iss in no danger, they pay tribute to the impetus and spirit of the advance of their antagonists at the same time that they Iaud the smoothness of the Russian retirement,
