SOCIETY LADIES
 VISITING COURT
EVinCe Interest in the Several
 Cases on Morning Docket

The local society ladies who visited Elsie Osborne, the lady probation officer, were treated to a fair example of "how the other half lives. The morning docket was a representative one and contained all specimens of prisoners from common drunks and men arrested in a Sunday raid on Blind Tiger to a nineteen years old husband who had brutally abused his bride of six months. The ladies were Mrs Isaac D. Russell, Mrs. Ira Hicks and Mrs. Rufus Hemingway and they evinced particular interest in a Polish woman of about sixty years whose case was most unusual one.
 The old woman, Mrs. Rose PioVitk: lad been employed for twelve years at the Corbin Screw corporation and was arrested yesterday by Detective Sergeant Samuel BamfOrth on a charge of having stolen about 376 pounds of scrap brass from the fac tory. The society folks interest in the old woman was increased when, after court, they were informed that she received ninety cents per day for her labors, or about $4.95 cents per week, and then after her daily work went to her home on Grove street and did her housekeeping.
 Sergeant Bamforth, acting on in- formation, inspected the scrap pile owned by Jacob Kats in Hartford and found a quantity of brass which was identified by Assistant Superintendent Bradbury, of the Screw corporation, as coming from that concern. Mr. Katz told the officers he had pur chased the brass from Benjamin Cut Ter of Hartford avenue, a local junk dealer. Cutler in turn testified that he purchased the brass from Morris Bradowsky, another Hartford avenue junk man. BradoWsky said he had purchased the brass from Mrs. Pio- Iitk
 Junk Dealer Arrested.
 In her turn the accused woman said she had worked at the Screw corporation for a dozen years but did not know she could sell brass until Christmas time when, she de- clared, at the instigation of Bradow- sky she picked scrap out of the sweepings and sold it to him. He gave her less than $5, she said.
  charged with peddling junk without Q license and Cutler was arrested, charged with selling junk that he had not kept in his possession for five days after the date of purchase, as required by law. Lawyer P. F. Me Donough asked that these two cases go over until Saturday and Judge Meskill withheld judgement on, the woman until that time. All were re- leased on bonds.

 The firemen were handicapped by ne.sU pressure and it was not until aft
 k1fdnight that the fire was con- B@Rolled. For nearly an hour there was steady series of explosions of track torpedoes which were stored in one of the buildings. Many Yale students, at tracted by the blaze which lighted the entire city, assisted the firemen in their, work.

 Talks to Lawyer.
 A youth of 19 years, Thomas Kane was lucky that Judge Meskill did not send him to jail as he says he will the next time he appears in court. Kane got drunk Saturday night and went into a pool room at 513 Main street where he created a disturbance by throwing pool balls around. Off, cer Hart and McCue arrested him. Lawyer Daniel k. O'Keefe appeared for the young man today and plead ed to keep him out of jail. The law yer undertook to berate the saloon- keeper who sold Kane his liquor, but Judge Meskill cut him short and informed the lawyer that it was his duty to his client and to the author ities to report such incidents rather than to complain. Kane was fined S1O and costs and placed on proba- ton.
 Detective Raids Blind Tiger.
 Detective Sergeant Bamforth made a lone raid on a blind tiger" at II Spring street yesterday and arrested Frank Partyl1a, charged with being the agent of John Goodrich, and John Shick, Peter Yadnisked, Con- stante Guska and John Dixon, charg- ed with frequenting a place where liquor is sold illegally. On request 1 of Lawyer P. F. McDonough the ] cases were continued until Saturday. Liquor Prosecutor B. W. filling con- ducted this case for the state. Other Cases. Charles Surko, arrested in a snow pile on East Main street Saturday by Officer Mercure, was let go with warning as this was his first of fense. He explained that he had worked at the Union Manufacturing company without any lunch all Fri day night and then waited at the fac tory until 10:30 o'clock Saturday for his pay. Later he met a friend and they had few social drinks which acted quickly on Surko's empty stomach.

 month ago the young wife complained screams. He was forced to smash in
 the door and found his son-in-law choking his daughter. The police were called in at once.
 Mrs. Knipfer said that when she retired last night her husband was ugly so she laid down on the couch. hoping that he would fall asleep and cease to abuse her. He followed her however, and dragged her from the couch and finally threw her across the bed where he choked her. When she screamed for help, she said he tried to gag her by crowding a wad of cloth between her teeth. The young bride almost broke down on the witness stand and said, "If my father hadn't come in I'd have been a murdered woman this morning. I'm too young, I'm only twenty-one. I won't live with him any more. I want a divorce"
 Knipfer bland1y admitted all that he was charged with and said he used the gag because his wife was bowling too much. He said their troubles result from too much moth er-in-laW. Judge Meskill scored the young man roundly and termed him one who eff an ordinary man spoke cross to you you'd go off somewhere and cry. But because your wife Is a woman you abuse her. Conditions were such that the court suspended a jail sentence of ten days and placed the erring husband on probation

New Hampshire Board Claims Use Of Money to Influence Legislation

Concord, N. H., March 27.-Criti- cisms of methods employed by officials of the Boston and Maine railroad com pany and it's subsidiaries in this state in the expenditure of money to influ- ence legislation are contained in a re- port of the state public service com mission, made public today.
 Political activities by railroad manaSers' says the report 'are en- urely foreign to the purpose for which railroad corporations are established Their business is to serve the public not to govern it.
 Result of Investigation.
 The report is the result of an in- Vestigation ordered in 1915 by the house of representatives into payments of all kinds by railroads from 1912 to 1915 for the purpose of influencing legislation. It was developed that the principal expenditures were in connec- tion with the announced intention of the Grand Trunk Railway company to build line through New Hampshire which would parallel portions of the Concord and Montreal and Northern railroads Boston and Maine leased lines in order to give the Grand Trunk direct entry into Boston. A cam paign in the interests of legislation favorable to this project was actively conducted in 1912 by the Grand Trunk and was actively opposed by the Boston and Maine Late in that year, the commissions report says, The Grand Trunk and the Boston and Maine made an amicable adjustment of their differences and the Grand IT IF m l. wit l,Ir +, f1o1rI
 Not Spent Illegally.
 The commission found no evidence that any of the money appropriated by the Grand Trunk for this campaign was spent illegally Or improperly.
 Tt is unfortunate" the report adds, that the money was spent at all, as nothing was accomplished by it, but that is a matter beyond the scope of this investigation"
 In seeking to defeat the plans of the Grand Trunk, the commission finds that Charles s. Mellen, at that time president of the Boston and Maine ap- proved an independent campaign by the Northern and Concord and Mon treal roads, under the direction of their respective presidents, Alvah w. Subway and Benjamin A. Kimball, It being agreed that the Boston and Maine would reimburse the substi- 1iary corporations for all expendi- ,ureS. The commission says that it can see no merit in and no credita ble of this arrangement
 In behalf Boston and Main proper, i hirty-one lawyers were employed and 1 were paid s13,244.
 Liquor Dealers Official Involved.
 The reDOrt refers to the endowment l " the Concord and Montreal of Ben 1 amin W. Crouch chairman of the jul l iciary committee of the house and 1 ieorge H. Steele, secretary of the As 1 ociation of New Hampshire Liquor 1 Dealers MT. Crouch testified that his work for the railroad ended before the l egislature met in 1913. The com 1 mission said it did not find that MT. Irouchs explanation is not correct, put he unfortunately allowed himself 70 be placed in an ambiguous posi- ion"
