Calburn Followers Brave Rain To See
 ''The Tenderfoot.' :

Rain held no terrors last night for the Ca1burn Musical Comedy com pany's followers for they came in numbers which taxed the seating ca pacity of the house, to view the open ing performance of '"Fhe Tenderfoot'' that tunefu1 and witty comedy which holds the bill at the Lyric this week.
 One of the leading members of the cast this week is "Ruppertz,'' a don key who bears in E'The Tenderfoot.'' g ''Ruppertz'' like the applause which greeted his entrance so well last night that he refused to leave the stage when it was time for him to make his exit. Much pushing and coax ing on the part of the actors and clap ping on that of the audience made "Ruppertz" all the more firm in his resolve to stick to the life on the stage. It was not until some time after the action of the play had de- tracted the audiences attention from the solitary donkey that he slunk quietly off the stage.

HEAD OF UNION TO
 ORDER MEN TO GO
 END DISAGREEMENT
Bricklayers Have Until To morrow Morning to Re
 turn to Their Jobs.

International President William J. Bowen of the BrickIayers' and P1as- terers' union came to this city this afternoon to attempt an adjustment of the dispute between the bricklayers on the buildings of the Bridgeport Arms Works and the Stewart Con struction Co.,, which employed them.
 President Bowen will order the men back to work. If they do not comply, their places will be taken.
 The Stewart Construction Co. an nounced today that unless the strik- ing workmen return to their jobs to- morrow morning, they will be sup planted by others. The double check system protest will be met with com pliance but the company refuses to grant the increase to 70 cents an hour.
 The unions local has announced that it does not sanction the walk out. The demand for TO cents an hour is contrary to the rules of the union. President Bowen will so inform the men this evening.
 An agitator attempted to stir up labor trouble this morning among the masons' helpers, who were thrown out of work when the brick1ayers quit. He met with indifferent success.
 Men who are not residents of the city but who have attempted to profit by the fact that the Stewart work is a rush job and demand more wages, are credited with melting the walk out.

SHARP REPRlMAND FOR LAWYER WHO
 WROTE TO PAPER
On Trial For Subornation of Perjury, He is Rebuked
 By Court.

Attorney Walter F. Peck, the New York lawyer, on trial in the criminal superior court for subornation of perjury, was severely rebuked this morning by Judge William s. Case for sending an article bearing on the trial to a local evening paper Judge Case said such practices while a trial was in progress, were contrary to the customs of Connecticut courts. He warned Attorney Peck not to allow such a thing to happen again or the consequences would be serious. At torney Peck and his counsel, Attor- ney T. J. O'NeiI of New York, plead ed ignorance of the customs of this state and the court said he would ac- cept the excuse this time.
 The morning session was taken up with the examination of John T. Breen, an investigator in the employ of the New Haven railroad company. Breen testified he came to this city with Attorney Peck to see Hugh Mooney about @ signed statement re- garding the suit of Mary Horn against Breen was in the employ of Attor- ney O'Neil. Mooney refused to sign the statement and shortly afterward the charges were brought against At torney Peck. It was alleged that Mooney was asked to swear that he I10dEd DOACdn AcAhl4Idus a. Ta14rOaQ foreman, say the wires were ground ed and it was all right 70 go back Co work.
 This would have made valuable testimony in the suit Mrs. Horn brought against the railroad company for the death of her husband, who was eIectrocuted by the wires to which McMilIan referred. Mrs Horn subsequently, recovered $12,oO0 in the New York courts.
 Breen admitted on cross examina= tion that while in the employ of At torney O'Neil he had an appointment with a. lawyer representing the rail- road He asked the lawyer for $7,50O Breen declared he had nothing to sell the lawyer, but expected he would gc to work for the railroad.
 The trial was still on at press hour

it's load of silt into the dump-earts, and in the larger particles of earth that roll down the eInbankment into the "fi1P' that is being made There is little chance that other sections, if buried in the locality, will be missed.
 There is prevailing belief today that the head and legs of the woman were thrown into the waters adjacent to Bridgeport, and that the person dis posing of the torso was well aware that it could not be weighted suffi- ciently to keep it beneath the surface of the water-hence the burial
 Though search had previously been made for women supposed to have left Herkimer and Amsterdam, N. Y, and Seattle, Wash, these persons since have been accounted for. There were no new names reported to the police to-day, though they will wei come any information at this time that tends to show that women have disappeared.
