TWO POLICEMEN UNDER CHARGES FOR GRAPHING? Official Circles Stirred By Sensational Story-Birn-
 ingha1n Silent. ARREST MADE AFTER
 PAYMENT OF $35O That is Basis of Story That Prompts Investigation
 At Headquarters.

Two police officers, one a special connected with the Bridgeport police force and the other said to be a reg u1ar1y appointed officer in the state or city, are under investigation as to their acts in connection with the arrest of Joseph Della, otherwise known as CiccarelIi
 Superintendent Eugene Birmingham has been placed in possession of facts which he is now fully Investigating with the result that at least one of the officers may be brought before the police commissioners if more drastic measures are not taken.
 The complainant is Angelo Sta vola, a. well known saIoonKeeper near Avon Park. He has alleged to the prosecuting authorities and friends who brought the matter directly to the police heads that he was com pe11ed to pay $35O for the re-arrest of Joe Della, who while awaiting trial in the superior court had Jumped a large bond.
 The arrest of Della was made some months ago at Clean, N. Y, by Frank Vire1h aided by Frank Loperci, a spe- cial policeman of this city, StavoIa was apparently satisfied until he met Della, or CicereI1a, as he is better known, on the street the other day. Cicerella is alleged to have passed
  overlook him and in anger said: Its pretty tough that had to lose $350 on account Of you but it is worse when you don't recognize me when we pass on the street.
 What do you mean? cost you $350? know that did wrong in going away; but I was brought back, g the other is reported to have remark ed in substance. and from this HoEver- sation facts developed which were presented to Prosecutor A. L. De- Laney and Superintendent Birming- ham.
 today refused to discuss the situation in any way, it is reported that stavo1a went to the policeman to whom he claimed to have given the $s50 and asked him who got the money.
 ''You will have to see my boss,n the policeman remarked, mentioning the name of a policeman much higher in authority than the one who took the money.
 The records show that Joe Della, not to be confused with the man of the same name who recently appeared in the bankruptcy courts, was arrested twice. In the first instance he was charged with embezzlement of some money which it was claimed he took from a woman upon the pretense that he would obtain the release of her son who was arrested. The second arrest was for similar offense and Stavola. was his bondsrnan. The bond was for feited and he was arrested by Frank VireIi in Clean, N. r., and brought back to this city where he stood trial He was sentenced to six months in jail.

Mayor Wilson said today that AL derman Malcolm MdFayden will head the lcoanrnission of five which he will name to build the Grand street bridge. It is known that friends of the alder man desired that he be made a mem ber of the commission for the new Sfratford avenue bridge and that they were very much disappointed when he did not receive the place, The ap- pointment of the Republican leader of the common council is expected to salve his and their feelings.

smarto Must Pay For
 Endorsement on Note
 Given By D. J. Russell

As result of endorsing a, check for former Deputy Sheriff Daniel J. Russell of Stratford, John D. smarto, propritor of the Faust cabaret on Elm street, has been ordered to pay $10S and costs in suit brought by Frank B. Beach. the Main street merchant. Judge Scott of the com mon pleas court today handed down the decision today.
 At the hearing several weeks ago, Beach testified that Russell came to him and wanted to borrow $20o. Beach said he was willing to endorse a note for Russell if the latter could get another endorser. Russell secur- ed Smarto for the. other endorser. The note went to protest and Beach had to pay the $20o after Srnarto had re- fused to pay half. Thereupon Beach brought suit against Snarto to re- cover $1oO.
